adorable little helper!

What about the situation where you count rows of knitting and your end of row keeps shifting? I suppose it’s negligible. Sure looks nice on the garment!

Such pretty pastel colours 😍 I think this is the best tutorial for tiny scraps that I've seen. They're beautiful 💞

❤❤❤❤❤ Many many thanks ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I appreciate this. The thing is, in American English, Aussie English, Canadian English, etc., vowels and other letters are pronounced differently. I'm sure you don't say California, Illinois, or Nebraska the same way we do in the US. But I appreciate your note and the info on a more Irish pronunciation.

Great tutorial! What did you need the extra 4 weft widths for at the beginning?

Very cool

You made this so easy to understand. Thank you

Thank you for all your efforts, taking us back to the historical and beautiful places of The Tower.

This is perfect for my hand spun yarn. Thanks

So good to see you again Grace.

Missed you live but caught up with you here. Lovely to see you 😊

This is amazing. Does it also work with 3 colours? Would there be a caught stitch at the back?

So glad to catch your video! Your beautiful view makes me long to visit Ireland again! My Uncles made sauerkraut every year and I never learned how! We had a Heinz 57 family, German, Irish, Italian and a few other ‘varieties’~ family food get togethers were an interesting mix of food. Anyway ~ the Uncles would put the sauerkraut on sausage or hotdog sandwiches. The deli’s here make Ruben sandwiches with sauerkraut, pastrami & melted cheese on rye. Enjoyed catching up with you! Thank you for sharing!! And thank for the Merlin app advice!

Missed the live 😕. We’re looking forward to a cooldown temperature of 105*. Finally got a little crafting mojo back. Last week I helped my 3 y.o. GD make her first weaving. So lovely to visit with you and enjoying my morning coffee.

I'm so happy to find this clear and easy method to avoid the wiggley 'seam'. Thank you for the clear explanation. 😊

My favourite place to walk in Rouge Urban National Park in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It's 1000s of acres in the city that has been left natural except for a few trails and the necessary car parks. This year I moved 1,000 miles to New Brunswick, on Canada's east coast, and I miss walking in "the Rouge". On a short visit back to visit family, my son took me hiking there and it was so wonderful to be back there, and to walk and chat with my son. I'm now exploring places to walk in New Brunswick and if you ask me again in a year, I'm sure I'll have a new favourite. I love your colourway and due to postage costs I don't usually buy yarn from Britain, but I may have to make an exception. Good job, you.

Lovely to see you! I am doing Tour de Fleece, am on a couple of informal teams. My goal is to spin every day from my stash. Successful so far. And oh yes, I am in a similar situation with SABLE ( stash accumulation beyond life expectancy) except I am a few years older than you.

Yes! the next step with sourkraut is to taste. I have had it take several weeks, but I usually make it in fall when my home is quite cool.

Pity you don't know the difference between Wheat and Barley.

I know I’m late, but is there a way for this to work if knitting flat? I’m still trying to learn how to do the magic circle (struggling) but when making a stuffed animal I need to do it in the flat because of the pattern instructions. I must say I have never felt like I’ve understood something so well from a video before!

I missed you and my furry boyfriend Beans. My life has changed great deal these last two years. My mother had a major stroke and I'm in charge of her care which is my joy to do. Not much crafting but I would love to pitch a tent in your back yard and have sleepovers with Beans for a month to rejuvenate myself.

Oh my Goddess, I am so glad you are back! I totally understand where you have been (mothering and nurturing), but you are such a light inthe world! Yaaaaaaaaaaaay! ♥️🐑♥️🐑♥️

Oh Grace, it is so nice to see all of the sweetness in your life! I love your patio, sauerkraut, and spinning! How can your little girl be 2 already! ♥️🐑♥️🐑♥️

Lovely to see you Grace! Watching this 2 days later and it is another beautiful July day here in Galway. I am sitting outside knitting a summer top, practicing avoiding housework or any other chores, so I'm with you sister ;) The sound of the spinning wheel is so calming, good luck with your projects. Btw, hang on to those precious yarns you have stashed in your craft room. They will be there for you when you are ready! 🧶😎

I was considering Tour de Fleece because I still have a teeny bit of fibre left from a bits-and-bobs bag, but then the AC decided to be troublesome and now it needs replacing, sooooo nah! I'll save it for the fall.

I have had sauerkraut on pizza too. Just a thought. Always love seeing you! 💕

I think it would be delish!

Lovely crafting space indeed! Very soothing watching the fibre soflty blow in the wind! I was planning to join tour the fleece this year, but am sick in bed for the last couple of days, so will have to wait a bit. I am using the time to decide what to spin and it will be my first three ply, I think. I also love a crochet project once and a while, l like to make baskets to keep knitting and spinning projects. Cheers to more lovely outdoors crafting days!

I like to eat we enjoy sauerkraut on hamburgers. You could totally use it on a meatless burger too

Watching this while we go through the hurricane in Texas. Where I am it's not terrible compared to others I've been through. But I'm spinning with my big window shades open and watching the wind blow the rain and the trees around. Lol it's cozy yet exciting if there isn't a threat of tornado or flooding so far we've been good.

Great to see you Grace under that lovely blue Irish sky 😊

Great to see you spinning and crocheting instead of washing or cleaning!! Keep up the good work Grace

So happy to see you again 😘

We eat sauerkraut with potato pasta; it’s a staple in the summer. So happy that your little is learning about the handcrafts. Enjoying a laid back tour de fleece this year too with taking each week to wash and prep smaller fleeces to be spun during the women race.

If you have the room, keep the yarn. Especially the discontinued or one of a kind yarn. You'll find time to knit.

Good to see you Gracej. We love sauerkraut with pork chops!

After your fermented cabbage gets to the stage or taste you prefer then just put it into the fridge. Even two tablespoons a day will help your gut repair itself. It’s so good for you.

Always lovely to chat with you, Grace. 😊

Always nice to have a visit!

Lovely visit. I enjoyed the fibers chat and other news. Envious that you were outside. It is 104* at 4 o’clock here in California. I went to pick up yarn to prep for our guild’s dye day next week. We are choosing a hat from Knitting the National Parks and figuring how to make all the colors. It will be the first project since Christmas. I think I have a little mojo to make some small projects. A quick story about my 3 y.o. granddaughter. On a recent visit her mom explained that they would have to in a little while (we don’t rush). Yaya exclaims lay yarn!” She grabs my hand to go in the craft room to get a small ball of yarn from the leftover basket. She loves to roll it and let it un wind all over the house. Take care of you and yours till the next time.

Love the new patio!

Sounds right to me. But I'm a Donnelly, born in America, with Donegal and Dublin Donnelly roots.

It's so wonderful to see you again. I started watching you while you were in Australia, ut was just before Janes joined you. I am definitely not a monogamous knitter anymore. I currently have a Vertices Unite, a Tundra sweater, a Habitation Throw on my needles. I have just finished a pair of socks too. My youngest kiddo is off to University this year. They have only just come back home after 6 months in New Zealand. I really want to go now but I am a wheelchair user and don't know how accessible it would be. Still going to go though. My eldest daughter is working one day a week but, hoping to find a job soon. My husband is working full-time and doing semi pro archery. I want to make all of the things but need more time! I can't believe that your little girl is already 2. I know people used to say this to me but it's true, enjoy that time as it goes in the blink of an eye! Oh I forgot, I am trying to learn how to spin too. 😁

Grace is here!!

Oh Grace!!! It is so lovely to see you and hear what you have been up to!! I can't believe your baby is already 2!!! Time flies!! (My babies are 15 and 21 as of tomorrow! WHAT?!?!) Leif use to LOVE my spinning wheel. I think I got it when he was 4 and he use to sit down at the wheel and pump the peddle as fast and he could and make motorcycle noises. It was hysterical and devastating at the same time (especially when I had painstakingly spun yarn on there)! Oh, I believe that stitch that you like is called the Star Stitch. I knit Kaia and myself the Wilde jacket years ago and that stitch was on the hem and hood. I love the way it looks!

I really love the sweater you're making -- the alternating pattern in the lighter cashmere with the grey stockinette is just gorgeous.

Lovely to sit and have a chat Grace!!

Lovely to see you looking so well! Glad things are settling down a bit.

Hi Grace: Lovely to see your sweet smile and you are a ray of sunshine in that cute dress! LOVE that cashmere. I am so glad you have been able to get back to your creative projects that fill you up! Enjoy.
