Hi Betty! Nice to catch up with your latest episode 👍 That vintage knitting machine you scored sounds rather speccy for the price. What a great deal! And lucky you for finding that yarn!! I really love your skeletons jumper and will need to consider making one for myself. I'm quite tall so hopefully wouldn't run into the same issue with the yoke depth. Circular yokes seem really fiddly.

Gosh as you were talking about what you eat for breakfast, I was horrified !! I'm not kidding!! You are eating a horrifying amount of neurotoxin like almonds, green or black tea, chia seeds, raspberries, potatoes, lemon peel and any excess vitamin C the liver will convert to neurotoxin. This is what kidney stone are made of and can cause all sorts of health issues. They build up over time and the kidneys are only capable of getting rid of or processing a certain amount of these neurotoxins without damaging themselves, hence the build up. These neurotoxins also like to link up with calcium which can cause osteopenia and osteoporosis. The neurotoxin is called Oxalate. You need to be aware of what foods contain high levels of Oxalate and keep the level down. Rhubarb is also high in these neurotoxins. I would love to shop your Etsy shop but don't have a link or follow you on Instagram. Please leave links in your KZbin description. 😊

Do you have a recipe for the rosehip syrup? I tried making rosehip tea once (it tasted okay) but removing the sharp hairs from each 'hip was laborious

Just happened across your channel this evening and knitted along to your podcast - I love it! Your dogs are so cute, as is the beautiful sweater. I've been tempted by the Bird and Blend Cosy Collection of teas. It contains the apple bobbing tea as well as other autumnal flavours; good to hear a good review of the tea!

Hello Betty, happy sweater season!! 🧶❤Sounds like someone has been a busy bee. Hope your mum is doing better. Your doggies are so adorable and I'm sure they enjoyed their birthday cake.🎂 I have the Tyrolean book but haven't knitted anything yet. I was a little disappointed that 3 of the patterns were also in other vintage knitting books. However, I love the history bit, all the pics, how-to embroidery and how to design one with a peplum. Looking forward to seeing how your Tyrolean jacket turns out. I think Linda Ivell is working on another book. I know you are super busy but you should really try Ravelry again. I don't mean to be a broken record but I looked up your skeleton sweater. There are almost 100 knitters working on it. I'm sure you could ask about your sweater problems there and find lots of good advice. Good luck with machine knitting. Of course, there are groups for that on Ravelry too. LOL Take care❤

I thought it was pretty easy. What kind of yarn did you use?

Whatever she is wearing it is really nice . I would wear that outfit .

Another great episode, I would like to join in with the knit along, but I have to be careful now with knitting as I have worn out my left thumb, but i shall enjoy watching you and other people participate, take care. X😊

Hello Betty, new subscriber here 😄. I have been to the car boot sale this morning and bought a joblot of vintage knitting patterns for £2. What a bargain! I have decided to attempt to knit one. The first one I have chosen is mariners silver dew 843. Pattern is dated 1962 on the back. I am starting a tension square in king cole merino blend 4 ply in clerical grey. Fingers crossed I can manage it. Lovely podcast.

Thank you for the mention!! 🌸 I absolutely love your skeleton jumper, it's going to look so good when it's done. 😍 I'm sorry you find the yarn itchy and hot, but at least it shouldn't pill. I shall look out for the TV series you mentioned as well. I also love historical dramas 👍👍 And 'hahaha' again with Mrs Aran, it gives me a good giggle 🤭

I don't see the math?? Gauge is a tough concept.😮

The group with the swimsuit KAL is Vintage Knitting In The Modern World. I'm an admin over there, it's a lovely group full of great people 😊

Oh, dear, all those bobbles would give me a headache. 😬 Looking forward to seeing it when it is done! If you added your WIPs and FOs to Ravelry---then in a few clicks, you can easily see the yarn, pattern, etc. that you used. Just another use for Ravelry! I always wanted to make one of those netted shopping bags. When we have a heat wave in the US, it is in the high 90sF or 32C+ That shawl is a lovely colour on you! ❤

Betty, your strawberry Fields top is gorgeous. I’m really tempted to knit it. 30 degrees in Australia sounds like the perfect weather. It’s not unusual in summer here to hit 45 degrees. That is a stay in doors day. Most of us are blessed with airconditioning so with a flick of a switch we can cool our homes, cars etc. your Lost Souls shawl is lovely. I hope your weather has cooled. ❤️❤️🌺

Another lovely and interesting video.

I miss Home Fires!! The series continued in 4 books. Look for the author S. Block!

Just found your channel! I had to click when I saw the👑Queen of Vintage🧶Knitting Susan Crawford. I enjoyed hearing how she picks patterns, re-sizes them and picks the colours. I wonder what her next book will be.

Hi, thank you for a lovely podcast. Susan is an inspiration. I have just been given a stitch in time volume 2 for my birthday and it’s such a beautiful book. So much I want to knit.

Really enjoyed this podcast thank you ☺️

Another great episode! Thank you for interviewing Susan, it was very insightful

I'm really looking forward for this video 😊 i always have to turn up the volume in your videos but I find that the intro music is a bit too loud. Anyways.. on to the video ;)

I'd love to see vintage one skein projects.

Vacuum bags, my auto correct sends me potty!

I store my yarn in vacuum have which I keep in big plastic tubs. I put ceder blocks and poison sachets in there too. We had one of those kitchen cupboards when I was growing up in the 80s, we didn't have a fitted kitchen. I had no idea they were now so expensive now!

Sending good knitting vibes your way😊 You can do it!

oh that is a perfect match … well done 😊

me too I talk to the knitting as well ..lol drives my family to laughter

Lovely video Betty. I love your summer tops and the cardie you are knitting at the moment. The merino/silk yarn looks beautiful. I feel for you having temperatures around 36c without air conditioning. We get a lot hotter temps but with a flick of a switch the whole house cools down. Thank you for the links in the description. I look forward to checking them out. ❤️🌺

Oh, sorry for a second comment but i couldn't help but notice that your shirt and green yarn perfectly match your wallpaper, lamp and cup! Amazing job!

We're having the opposite problem here in Adelaide, South Australia. Our houses are designed to lose heat so our house temperature is 12C. We don't have a thermostat or all-of-house heater.

does freezing really help?

There is a huge alpaca farm about an hour's drive from my house. Perhaps they do farm tours and I could share some pictures of it. They are definitely cute! We can buy alpaca meat at our local farmers market too. It's quite lean I believe. (I'm a vegetarian but the business owners were saying that)

What a fabulous day out Betty. I particularly love the yellow and pink yarn you showed together. I can envisage a 1940 lacy short sleeve top (same or similar as the ‘Your Victory Jumper) in a wave, lacy knit. If there is not enough yarn a cream could be introduced. ❤️❤️🌺

The factory machinery was fascinating. The alpacas have sweet facial expressions, very endearing. Glad you enjoyed your day out.

Another lovely pod cast thankyou Betty 😊
