Thanks for the London visit! Your podcasts always spark new ideas for me. Keep on posting. 💕🧶

[@knit365blog]

Oh thank you for saying that Susan, really appreciate it!

[@joannek5107]

Aren't yarn shop owners passionate? What a beautiful store. Another great podette Martyn, thank you. I'm knitting my first ever top down sweater. It feels like I'm knitting upside down, but it's going well.

[@knit365blog]

Haha upside down knitting is a great description! Is it a project for you?

[@joannek5107]

A surprise for my daughter. Thanks as always for your podcasts and for replying. Made my day.

[@trishathomas4543]

Hi Martyn, What a lovely shop and lovely squishy yarn. I very rarely go to London. I hate the pollution, noise and the people who just try and walk through you because they are on their phone. ( we only live about 25 miles from London). However if I’m ever there, I will certainly think about visiting this shop. Looking forward to seeing what they are when they grow up. So glad you and Mark had a nice time.

[@knit365blog]

Oh yes definitely check it out, sadly you’ll likely meet a load of Londoners on your way there but off the tube at Pimlico it was lovely and quiet!

[@SofiaSanchez-io5xy]

I’ve added this yarn store to my list of places to visit next time I’m in London. Thanks for bringing us along on your day in London!

[@agnespowderly8349]

Love your visits to yarn shops .as there are not very many near me at all , I feel like I am there with you squishing that yarn . Lovely to be knitting for little people . ❤️

[@knit365blog]

Little people knitting is very satisfying but it does mean mg big projects aren’t getting much love at the moment!

[@jackyteague6509]

Thanks for taking us with you on your visit to London!! The yarn shop looked gorgeous!!! Lots of squishiness!!! Look forward to seeing your July round up. So many finished items!!!!

[@knit365blog]

Fortunately there are lots of FOs this month! I’m hoping to film it in the next day or so :)

[@jackyteague6509]

@@knit365blog looking forward to it!!

[@agaaga6166]

I would buy yarn in that shop if I were there and guess what -I don't need anymore yarn I have plenty....it's so addictive 🙂you not alone....🙂🌷🌷🌷

[@knit365blog]

Haha I don’t think anyone ‘needs’ more yarn!

[@ning-ningshalom3266]

Oh I love you those faces you have YARN!!!!

[@knit365blog]

Haha thank you :)

Love your day out, haven't been to London for a few years due to covid! Every time you mention a british yarn shop, i subscribe! Love watching these replays!

[@coralthompson753]

Just found your video and love it. Looking forward to Summer 2024. Beautiful knits also. xx

[@brittapettersson5151]

Thank you for this lovely podette Martyn!

[@Bobbleheadknits]

I love getting to see London again through your eyes!

[@knit365blog]

One of my favourite cities and I’d definitely be happy to live there if the opportunity ever presented itself :)

[@patriciabuuck5277]

I love yarn shops. I want to touch all the beautiful yarns. I can get a bit overwhelmed, and I always find one or two ....... I beautiful yarns to take home. Beautiful podcast glad I found your channel

[@knit365blog]

Thanks Patricia, Beautiful Knitters is a great shop if you’re ever in the area be sure to check it out!

[@barbarapregger8526]

Lovely yarn shop. One could see you truly enjoyed yourself being surrounded by all the beautiful yarn.

[@knit365blog]

It was great to be back at a yarn shop and with a lovely friendly owner!

[@YarnNYarns]

Thanks for sharing your adventure. So happy you had a wonderful day

[@knit365blog]

Thanks Ange, it was a great day out and so glad I got to film some of it too!

[@susandent3611]

Wonderful to visit a London yarn shop. Height of summer and I am still knitting (wouldnt normally but dont desire to travel out and about at present) Thankyou for the yarny adventure

[@marywalton6900]

Lovely to share your yarn purchases.

[@knit365blog]

We all live vicariously through each other I think!

[@celestedouville2529]

Oh my goodness, that yarn shop is stunningly gorgeous1 !

[@mariajoaocanavarro48]

Hi! I'm Maria from Portugal! That yarn Rosarios, are from Portugal, it's a beautiful yarn! Kiss from Portugal , stay well

[@knit365blog]

Hi Maria, welcome and thanks for sharing about that wool, I’m looking forward to starting a project with it!

[@verasobral4230]

Hi Martin Thanks I love the yarn shop and Rosarios4 is from Portugal. I love that label. The yarn is of good quality and I use it a lot in baby cloths and also shawls.

[@knit365blog]

Ooooo great, thanks for that information Vera! It’s so squishy I can’t wait to cast on…

[@mairead5891]

Thank you for the wonderful tour of Beautiful Knitters. I love yarn tourism and now I know they're so easy for me to get to (rail service from my town goes in to Victoria) I shall plan a visit there soon. You bought some beautiful yarn. Rosarios 4 is a Portuguese brand btw.

[@knit365blog]

If you can easily get to London I’d definitely recommend a visit to see Karin’s store!

[@ChemCath]

Loved seeing the yarn shop. Love watching your videos. I am catching up on your earlier episodes while I am knitting. I found you during the MKAL2022. (Obviously I stopped knitting to look at the yarn). A bit disappointed with all the beiges, greys and browns. (My first reaction was: “Typical man: there is a whole world of colour in baby friendly yarn -and adult yarn- and he picks beige, grey and brown.” 😑🙄🤦🏻‍♀️) My motto is that life is too short to spend it dressed like cement. That goes double for babies.

[@doritpinto9064]

Wonderful finished things, I like the way you exsplane and show the back of the work. The pathway looks grate. When you talk about WN sawl, I just thinking that UT pop your channel because I was looking SW knitting. P.S. I finished to write my long list about what I knitt/croshet. (It is on your video before this). Looking for your next monthly video. Stay well.

[@PinsandNeedles]

Thank you for the lovely wander around a LYS! I have babies to knit for too so will take a look at the Louise Tilbrook pattern 👍

[@knit365blog]

Thanks Zoe, happy to be able to share some yarn shop love here!

[@pip-woollycwtches]

Hi Martyn. Beautiful well laid out yarn shop. Excuse you 😳….Some new mums don’t mind hand washing…. I had 3 and did lots of hand washing to keep their baby knits pristine, my soon to be grandson’s mum is the same. She hand washes as well. 😝. Each to their own i know 🤣🤣. I have been knitting and not doing much else while it was hot with 2 fans blasting on me 🥵.

[@knit365blog]

Aiming for total fuss free hahah!

[@pip-woollycwtches]

Mine were never fuss free. They could explode from both ends 😖🙈🤣🤣🤣

[@nancylorenzutti3453]

Hello!! I just discovered your channel and I Love it!! Perfect ! I’m going to watch all the episodes!!

[@NoreenPeterson]

It’s always such a joyful feeling when I see you, Martyn, pop up in my KZbin feed. Thanks for taking us along on your visit to the Beautiful Knitters yarn shop. What a beautiful store! I enjoyed every bit.

[@knit365blog]

Thanks so much Noreen, really appreciate your support!

[@Fuj109]

It’s always a wonderful surprise to see you pop up on my iPad when I sit down for a cup of coffee. Thanks for a lovely day in a London yarn shop. Have fun knitting those darling little baby jumpers…great yarn choices. Hugs 🤗❤️🙋

[@knit365blog]

Awww thanks Sue, hopefully they’re always a nice length too for you to finish your cuppa!

[@VisitWithNanaAndPapa]

oh I so needed this. your timing could NOT have been better.

[@VisitWithNanaAndPapa]

loved every minute. i must see the musical if opportunity arises. tried to find that beautiful yarn, but alas not avail in us at the moment. Thanks for the visit. incredible timing. PTSD is raging and I needed a distraction. worked like a charm. Thank you, Martin!

[@knit365blog]

Ah thank you for taking the time to comment and for sharing that with me Valorie, I hope you’re finding some distraction in your crafting and my videos! :)

[@georgina4866]

Wow, did they clear the streets for you? Does not look like London somehow, not crowded outside 😁 loved the little footage! You picked out exactely the knitting book I was looking at - that feeled like some interactive video-thing haha Does the shop have some german connections? Yarn from "Rauwerk" (sounds german?) and the "Zopfstricknadel" also met my eye, funny! Have fun with the quick baby knits - maybe those are also suitable for heat waves. Currently I have a Lava Lake on my lap and finished my Speckle&Pop two weeks ago (waiting for blocking). Do you watch part of the Olympics? Adam Peaty is scheduled for Gold e.g. 😉

[@tericrane8343]

Thanks for sharing your travels. I always love to see yarn shops and this one was beautiful. Keep bringing the Podettes (I love the name Podette too) because its fun to see what others do with their knitting, shops they visit, and what they buy.

[@knit365blog]

Thank you Teri, I really like the short videos as they’re great to film and easy to edit as a mini snapshot into something!

[@lucyroberts7695]

Wow loved seeing the yarn shop tour. Absolutely love those colours you picked out for the babes as well. Gonna be so cute xxx

[@knit365blog]

Thanks Lucy! Lots of great autumnal colours too perfect for the season!

I absolutely LOVE that yarn shop! It will be my first shopping stop when I can get to travel to the UK (fingers crossed!!) Karin, the owner, is lovely. The yarn Rosários4 is from Portugal, great quality ;) Thank you for a great podcast, once again!

[@knit365blog]

You’re welcome Karyn, and yes it was a great shop I’ll definitely be heading back in the future!

What a gorgeous podette Martin. I miss the sunny days here as we are in the middle of winter. The Beautiful Knitters wool shop is absolutely gorgeous. I love all those speckled yarns you bought. How exciting to have 3 babies to knit for. I have been knitting some baby knits out of the book Sweet Knits For Baby by Jody Long which has really sweet patterns in it. Enjoy your sunshine!

[@knit365blog]

Thanks for that recommendation Suzanne I’ll check if out always looking for more patterns to try!

Oh that’s sad to hear Jane, we lost a few over the last few years in Cardiff so when I get the chance to shop in person I’ll always try and do so!

Hey Ina, I actually saw Karin post yesterday on Instagram that those bags are back in stock if you wanted to look for them again! I’m loving the baby garments at the moment!

It was quite soft to touch, I wouldn’t say it was scratchy to me personally so I’d be happy to give it a try sometime.
