Tip for spinning roving - draft it out a bit before you spin and it will be thinner and more even.

You’re making a boyfriend jumper!! :O

Thank you for taking us to Yarningham. There were so many beautiful yarns to admire🥰 Go yarn spinner, you got this !!!

Love the teal era and the spinning plans. It will be lovely to see when you create that yarn good luck finding the time LOL.

Thanks for sharing so much of the show! I loved seeing all the yarn! Many of them were new to me and I'll be excited to check out their shops online.

Yarn! Yarn! Yarn! Yarn! Yarn! Yarn! Yarn! Yarn! Yarn! Yarn! Yarn

Always love your YARN show videos. You are so good at them.

I so love a YARN show! You take us along and it makes me feel like I'm getting out there! 😅 love that Wallace colour! Its SUCH a gorgeous shade! If I win it's destined to become a beret!! ❤❤❤

Thank you for taking us to Yarningham! Love all your yarn purchases! And thank you for sharing the joy :)

Absolutely love the octopus. Great colors.

It was lovely joining you (virtually) at the show, Martyn. I love watching your podcasts and listening to whatever you have to say - your enthusiasm and love of all things yarn is always a bright spot in my knitting week.

Gorgeous yarn and lovely podcast as always, Martyn :) Thank you x x x

Loved all the yarn at the yarn show!!!

Loving your octopus, I’ve just got the yarn to make Keane the squid. You’ve got me well and truly hooked on Toft. I’ve just finished the frog bag ❤🐸🧶 . I always do both of my sleeves at once, it seems to be quicker! Even if it is just in my head 😂

It was lovely to see so much yarn 🧶🧶🧶 and knit while watching 🧦. Thank you 🤩

So much YARN, but can never have too much! Thank you for the tour of the show!

Graeme looks awesome! My yarn arrived ages ago and yet I've been trying to finish off previous projects instead as part of the summer MAL. Really need to write that list though as it's currently in my head and I've had another list of "things to do" that has obviously taken priority - almost there with updating my address and cancelling things now so yay!!!

It was nice to see you on the Saturday, I’m glad you got the batt we were talking about 😂😂

Such lovely yarn! Thanks for the tour 😊

Thank you for all your videos I love watching Your yarn purchases and your travels. I live in the USA and all the yarn you show is not available here.Thank you Cindy 😅

Oh yes, I love the shoulder buttons. And the wool you chose for the octopus is perfect. Progress!!!!

Lovely yarn choices, Martyn. Good luck with the spinning, can't wait to see it finished?

Hi Martyn! Looks like you had a great time. Can’t wait to see the yarn you spin with that batt, maybe for spin-tember. :)

You need a second list, future projects 😊

First, meant to say this earlier, Grats on your fundraiser!! 🎉 Second love your videos and thank you for all you do. Including the festival you showed us. How sweet to offer this opportunity, thank you again. Yarn is its own hobby! How exciting! J❤

That yarn is so pretty, no clue what I would do with any of it. X

Loved the tour around Yarningham, shows are always a great opportunity to squish YARN lol With regard to spinning might be worth checking out the KnittyStew podcast in her last few eipsodes she has been spinning its really interesting

I'm in the 'inspired' category, I think I'm going to make my own Summer MAL list. But I have to ask - how is Mark's jumper going?

I’m also sure the Toft summer competition,needs to be added to list

Loom bands for stitch markers 🤔

Love love love your purchases and the tour of Yarnigham. One day I will make it to the UK for a show. ! The giveaway YARN is so beautiful. I would enjoy either one but really like Ellie’s color blending. Thanks Martyn! 😊

Your octopus looks amazing in that wool! Great job Martyn!

That octopus is brilliant! 🐙 It looks so effective with the hand dyed yarn. Very impressed at this amount of enthusiasm and detail whilst you were hungover 😅 Great episode, thanks! x

I am excited for my summer plans to join in the summer MAL. The Octopus and jumper are so cute. Good job! . I have 4 WIPS I hope to finish soon and plans for possibly starting some new items. Thanks for the motivation! 💚

Apologies for the delay in commenting… am rewatching to get inspiration for my own summer plans. I also love fall and winter and the coziness that comes as the days get shorter. Summer here in the mountains of Colorado is so short that I love it also it just does not last quite long enough. I love that you are tidying your stash. You feel so accomplished after it’s all done. So nice to see your project list. I have a few patterns together with yarn ready to go so I will just make a list just like Martyn. It’ll get done 😊

thank you for sharing your trip with us. there was a lot of beautiful yarn to peruse. so nice to see new vendors

Beautiful Yarns Love love love Al the colours and textures Your yarns you buy o my dear so so so so awesome The kids hats will be good gift And the bubble socks can't wait crocs and socks so so good plan

Love the octopus ❤

All the yarn at the show were absolutely gorgeous colours, very bright and colourful. As I was watching your video I found myself wanting to have a skein or two from each vendor. Yes I agree, you can’t go to a yarn show and not buy something!

You are going so well with your Summer list Martyn. Inspirational!

Martyn how do we get you over 10,000. People please share let’s do this!,,,

LOVE the octopus!! I've gotten soooo many "little things" done, I've decided that this is my summer of "one skein wonders".... I had lots of patterns just waiting!! This MAL is the perfect medium to get them done!!! I don't do Instagram (I'd NEVER get anything done!!! 🤣😂🤣) so I can't decide....do I send one MASSIVE email mail with all my projects?? Oooor, a lot of short emails with 1-2 projects??? Which is best for you??

You have inspired me to make a list Martyn. I have a lot to put on it 😂, I shall need a large sheet of paper 📝.thanks for sharing x💕

Hi Martyn and Mark. I have a list. About 30 long. As I have a friend that adds to it for me. Oh that’s nice I’ll have one please. Also she tells others Ange will do it. So I know how that feels. Also my stuff ends up the same as Marks jumper. Western Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🧶💜

Hi Martyn, on bottom up sweaters I do the sleeves at the same time, mostly to ensure the increases are at the same place. I connect the two sleeves together with a bulb stitch marker, to help ensure that I don't turn the knitting round at the wrong point x

You have inspired me to make a list, starting with four baby blankets, finish my Artus shawl, finish Derecho top, and start/finish Floodlight tee. I made two baby blankets, two at a time, for twins and wanted to sure that they were the same size. It was a chore, but when I was finished, I had both of them done. I have four more blankets to make and will do the same thing. Your sweater is adorable! How lucky for the nieces and nephew. Happy knitting and I look forward to the next episode!

I just finished Clue #2 of the SSAL and I did the Brioche option!!!! And it worked! #proudofmyself. Busy weaving in all the ends right now, so that I will be ready for Clue #3 tomorrow. I just broke down and bought 2 skeins of Fag Beyond from Undercover Otter’s Queerdo Collection. It looks like it will be fabulous to knit something with. 😬 And I have some sweater yarn coming from S & P (paid for 2 months ago so it doesn’t count) and 2 shawls to finish…. And it will be MKAL kit season before you know it. I’m already feeling behind.

Thank you another great episode I have made my list and am working on the biggest item on it at the moment. I’m making the anthology throw by Helen Stewart with my 2023 advent box. I finished my July socks and have August socks cast on for portable knitting. I have a cardigan on the needles that I really need to finish for this fall if it ever comes to south Texas. If those items all get done I have yarn for a couple more Emotional Support Chickens in the pride/progress yarns. I am resisting the temptation to start new things. I do need to swatch for two other projects that will be fall/winter knits.

There is a list in my head but I'm seem to be in my monogamous phase, so working one at a time. Got a Delineate from pompom quarterly on my needles. Want to be able to wear it in August, so the aim is to finish by end July. Then I plan to cast on a Jumper. I always do TAAT sleeves and socks, I hate repeating what I've just made so have to do them together.

No probs about mentioning the 'C' word this early. I'm part of a project wind orchestra and our concert this year is on 14th December. Very much a festive concert. Dots were sent out today... YAY! MORAG!
