Thanks for that advice I’ll look at those gnome patterns for sure. Glad you finished your buttonband too. ❤

I agree - I love the Lover Letter and would like to try Drops Belle too, I am going to check out that combo. Lace and summer seem to go together so well. Thanks for commening :-).

I don't want to think about it.

I don't think you're tonally flat! But I do have to kind of psych myself up to sound a little more upbeat in my delivery - takes me ages to press record .. Hope you've done with those woolly shawls.

Hi again - totally agree with linen being everything in summer and what a pain it is to knit. It will be a big change for us up there, but we are looking forward to it. May as well have a late middle age adventure, beats sitting on the couch waiting for grandchildren.

HI there, you have a lot of very lucky knitworthy people in your family. I can imagine the fun you have with your grandchildren in the dyeing pots, I used to dye yarn as a side hustle too back in the day and I loved it. I also went to the FibreFest in Mulgoa, such a beautiful location.

Thanks for watching! We're still waiting for the weather to warm up properly here for Spring. Although I'll be complaining about the heat in a few months, so probably should enjoy these last days of wintry weather.

I saw that on their newsletter/website recently. This could be the right yarn for that dress I'm planning I think the stretch will be just the ticket there. Cotton yarns with spandex in them are hard to find and they're also good for crochet swimwear and halter top kind of things. I'm going to take a look at that.

HI Adele - I get what you're saying about the arms, I feel a bit like that too at times. I hope our summer does eventually kick in here, it's been slow to warm up this year. I checked out Breathing Space and the Vibes tee - love how breathing space has the diagonal stripes, so interesting and I love that designer (I too remember the days before Petite Knit). I friended you while I was there, hope you don't mind.

Namibia, wow! It's so wonderful to see how far these little channels can reach. I agree summer and crochet go together like strawberries and cream. Hope you got many hexies out today! Take care, Ailsa.

I'll be taking you up on that Kathryn - if all goes to plan I'll be ducking into Say Little Hen next week.

@@Wearewoolpeople please do x

Thanks - I don't know how many will end up a reality, but doesn't hurt to dream does it? Thank you for commenting.

Thanks Sue - that didn't happen yesterday as planned but hopefully today.

It totally is a rollercoaster of everything. So much to do! I'm really looking forward to hearing how you went in Rhinebeck last weekend.

Hi there - thank you for watching, it's a very crowded niche market so I appreciate your time. Which guild group do you go to?

@@Wearewoolpeople I belong to the Newcastle group. I’m hoping to get to a Sydney meeting soon as a visitor. I think you said you were south of Sydney? I imagine there’s a few knitters guild groups down that way.

Thank you Rachael, I'm going for the blanket with all that linen quill. Eventually. :-) Welcome here thanks for watching.

Hey, thank you for your comment. '90's bank teller chic' made me laugh so much. We see the same in the knitting shows here, there is one particular cabled fisherman style pullover pattern from the 70's that gets entered over and over again . It's such a shame, there are so many incredible knitters in Australia but they don't seem to be entering the agricultural shows as much as I wish they would.

Hey again - it's still on the table getting admired. The 'another knitting pod' podcaster started the alpenglow blanket and absolutely hated the process, it's put me off a bit so I'm still on the fence about the perfect pattern for the blanket. What are you knitting now?

Funny - there used to be a show on kids TV here where at the end the host used to look in her 'magic mirror' and rattle off a dozen or so children's names. I was always disappointed because she never once said Ailsa (nor any non-Anglo name now I think about it lol) but she said my sister Karen's name all the time. She used to tease me and say I was invisible! Anyway, congratulations on being randomly selected .. email me at [email protected] and I'll get your postal address to send the tin of nifty gear out. Ailsa

Thank Barbara - the fit on them isn't the best but they're good summer wearables. Hope you're doing well.

I know - gorgeous. Craft room tour definitely in the works because we may be moving. My husband got a job 2000km away and starts Mid-November, exciting and scary..

Hi - thanks for commenting. The colours really are unbelievable - it's all still on the table getting admired every day.

Oh wow! For such a tiny town so many people seem to have been there. It was great. Thanks for commenting..

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much!

Thanks for subbing! God luck in the draw..

Yay! Thank you! I really like how its turning out. $60 instead of almost $300, cant really go wrong.

Yup I’m only a micro channel so thank you so much for your lovely comment!

Coming soon! I’ve finished two Vest Claire’s and learned a lot.

Hilarious! See you at Fibre Fest.

Thank you so much, good luck!

Thank you, I’m really happy with it too.

Thank you for your comment, good luck!

Thank you! 😊 I started the channel because I felt like there was a bit of a gap there in my age group .. it’s been a massive learning experience for sure.

Hi there @A.McD.81 - Ailsa here from We Are Wool People podcast. Your comment was selected at random to win the skein of Holst Garn Supersoft yarn! Please email me at [email protected] and we can work out a way for me to mail this treat off to you. Congratulations!

@@Wearewoolpeople Thank you! I’ll email you my address. I just put your latest episode on and I couldn’t believe that I won! So exciting 🎉

Thanks Judith I will be sure to show what I end up doing. I always appreciate your comments :-)

Thank you! 😊

Thank you so much!

Thank you! I started because there seemed a bit of a gap in my age group there. I’m learning all the time.

Thank you so much! I hope you're enjoying the last of your warm days as the autumn settles in there in Denmark.

Thanks for the tip on the ranunculus. All those knitters can't be wrong it's such a popular pattern.

Thank you for your comment, I love making these videos so always delighted when someone likes them. Take care.

I love the gumnut cardigan, I have met Jane a few times and she is a lovely person. I think she'll be at the Wyong show either as an exhibitor or a visitor so if you do make it don't forget to bring your gumnut along or even better if you wear it!

Thanks for listening, I appreciate it so much.

Thank you so much - the tin was my friends idea and it's definitely a nifty little box of tricks for sure.

I'm 100% with your brother there! The only problem in Australia is that they're practically all deadly or poisonous. The one I saw the other day was a yellow belly black snake, not deadly to humans (definitely deadly to dogs) but still poisonous. Funny what you're scared of though, because I know people who are scared of sharks and they don't bother me one bit. Snakes otoh, terrified. Thanks for commenting!

@Wearewoolpeople I would likely be much more afraid of them in Australia. I was afraid of them when I was really young. Snake was one of my first words. I was so young that I wasn't walking yet but I can clearly remember laying in my buggy outside, seeing my mom doing dishes in the kitchen window, and enjoying the feel of the warm summer breeze on my face, when I felt the buggy shake. I pulled myself into enough of a sitting position to. Peek over the edge to see what was doing it and there was a snake climbing up the side of my buggy. I think it just wanted to sun itself someplace warm, but if terrified me and I started screaming my best baby version of "Snake!" My mom heard the commotion and disposed of it. I think I was terrified of them until I was about 7 or 8 after that, but then I decided my parents weren't afraid of them and I loved all animals, so I wasn't afraid of them after that either. It was traumatizing enough at the time, that I can clearly remember it though. I thought he wanted to eat me.

Thanks again for returning, the Sabai Top turned out well in the end. Such a suprisingly fast knit too.

Hi @maryburns5040 - Ailsa here from We Are Wool People Podcast - you were selected from my commenters for the tin of nifty knitting notions - please email me at [email protected] so we can make arrangements for me to send it out to you.
