I’ll Knit If I Want To: The 100th Episode!

[@klaskelangford8324]

100 Podcasts already: WOW: have enjoyed every one of them! Thank you for your time and commitment.

[@ellenhenrie4826]

For spinner with sore thumb, try turning your hand over so fingers are on top and thumb underneath. Allows a more neutral hand position. Happy 100, Andrea! Have enjoyed every one.

[@anneliolaussonholmstrom6616]

So happy to hear that you are feeling better 🥰 I am so looking forward to your lovely chats every Friday. Thank you! You are such a sunshine that makes my day worthwhile ☺ Thanks for all the inspiration you share 🥰

[@nancyprinsze4266]

Thank you Andrea for all your videos, and congratulations for the 100th episode. I have watched every single one. I also have been knitting for over 50 years and still learn something with every episode. I love your patterns and they are so well written. Thank you for all you share with the knitting and spinning community.💖

[@susylinn]

You are SO amazing! I can't believe it's been 100 either. I am so grateful for your videos, and your enthusiasm for knitting. You have answered so many of my questions and shown clearly how to do so many things. I have a number of your patterns and your clarity in directions match your clarity in these videos. You are just a joy to watch! Thank you and congratulations.

[@pegskold9152]

Congratulations on your 100th episode, Andrea!! Can't tell you how much you have inspired my knitting. It is a craft I have loved for more than 50 years (yes!) and you and other young designers and fiber lovers make it all feel so interesting and very very cool. I am grateful.

[@amivice5499]

Congrats on the 100th episode!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@chrissyfarmer2949]

Congrats on your 100th Episode!! I learned a lot! Your new Handspun is gorgeous!! Be Well!!

[@ManieMartinez]

When you were talking about blocking correcting issues I kept thinking about trouble that I had. I was scared to block so in the beginning I would only block for a couple of minutes and did not use enough water. I would only just cover the dry knitting and soon as it seemed wet I would pull it out. Now I block more like you do in hotter water and use a big tub to make sure everything is floating. Now things block so much better. Congrats on 100 th episode. I have been here since the beginning and love all your advice and quirky charm.

[@knitartis]

Hi Andrea! Congratulations on the big 100! And I am so glad you are feeling better. Advise from someone with two autoimmune diseases, listen to your body and don’t rush the process.

[@susanschwerdtfeger7310]

Congratulations!!🎉🎉 100 episodes! I found you near the beginning and look forward to watching your podcast every week since. Thank you so much for your knowledge and positivity, you are the reason I took the leap from crochet to knitting. In fact my first knit FO was the Inclinations Shawl! 🥰

[@lgm204]

Happy 1🧶🧶!!!!

[@rumpzafamily]

Congrats! Love learning new things from you every week.

[@mikedianestephens8010]

I'm so happy to hear that you are feeling better! I love your episodes.

[@trailsniffer]

🎉Happy 100th podcast! I’ve loved everyone of them! Have learned so much from you. So happy to hear you are feeling much better. About thumb joint pain and spinning: I had to stop spinning because the pain became too intense. It probably was caused by pinching the fiber too hard and also spinning for too long without a break.

[@Katepwe]

beautiful handspun…..love the colours!

[@lynnyamamoto33]

That handspun is beautiful!!

[@vlm3612]

Congratulations. I have watched every episode and love them so much

[@seseaghito]

Another personal suggestion for question 1: if you don't want to hold two strands together (of fingering and lace weight as it's more common) try and look for a sport weight blend of sheep wool and Suri alpaca. It turns out to be also cheaper most of the time. I did that for my Pink Fizz and I got gauge, and also a great drape.

[@hellosunshine71]

Thank you for your generosity today! Happy 100! I so enjoy the work and thought you put into your episodes. I am glad you're feeling better. :) Thanks again!

[@wollnation]

YAY to 100! I think I have not missed one single episode so far! Love it

[@dianegiannini8968]

Wearing your everyday socks now. I forgot how wonderful they are. Going to knit them again. My spinning group is supposed to meet tomorrow but hard to know due to all the sleet we got. Everything was closed for a few days. Now the melt is on and I am hopeful that the RPM spinners can meet up.

[@valgill2474]

Thanks for sharing 100 weeks of your life with us Andrea. Your podcast is such a wonderful way to spend Friday mornings or start my weekend if I don't have time on Fridays.

[@marniebush1384]

Have loved all 100 videos. Congrats! The inspiration has been continuous. I am not a spinner but I sure am thinking about it. Just need more time for another craft in my life. Come on retirement.

[@sueaitkin8030]

Congratulations! Always thanks for you time and knowledge!

[@kellygray8324]

Congratulations! I’ve enjoyed watching your podcast from the beginning. You are so talented and I am happy you share your talent thru this platform. Glad you are feeling better too!

[@sjhodnefield]

Congratulations Andrea! 100 episodes! Yea! I found your podcast a few months ago and binged on every one to catch up to current. I was a little sad when I couldn’t watch 3-4 at a time and enjoy you while I knit. I have learned so much and feel I have a better understanding of the yarn I’m looking for and pattern selections. Thrilled the rest is going well. I’ll look forward to the new cowl pattern!❤️❤️❤️💞🥰

[@kareno800]

So glad you are feeling better! LOVE your episodes. I have learned something from each and every one! Please stay healthy!

[@mariajones8912]

Congratulations Andrea on your 100th episode! I have loved every single one of them. I have been away and only just been able to watch it, so you can imagine my disappointment thinking I'd missed your celebratory sale 😭then seconds later realising it was only going to happen on Tuesday. 😂😂 Thank you for all you do, you are a breath of fresh air!! ❤

[@francinecarbonneau2135]

Congratulation !

[@TaylorOwen]

My right thumb tends to expire too while spinning a short forward or backward draw… when I grip the fiber in my right hand and draft with my left, the mild hyper extension of my right thumb will cause this discomfort. In this instance, stretching the joint is causing the dysfunction, so putting the joint into flexion (curling inward) can strengthen the ligaments that support the joint and counter conditions the functional movement. Also remember to maintain a slight bend in the joint while spinning helps. All too often people turn to “stretching” to correct issues resulted from… stretching. Strength training is equally important and often neglected. Thank you for another great episode, Andrea! Happy 💯 ❤

[@elizabethernest]

Congratulations on episode 100!!! I have been with you since episode 1 and you make every Friday so fun and happy!! Thanks for keeping this going after the knit along was over a year ago!🙂🙂

[@emilyjortner4252]

had to hustle husband and kids out the door because it's Friday and another episode of my favorite knitting podcast!

[@seseaghito]

🍰 congratulations, Andrea, and ad maioram semper! Watching you while knitting when I should be working.

[@Preciousknits7916]

Yay 💯episode of awesomeness.🥳 Thank you for the great discussions, patterns and tips that bring so much joy on Fridays. You're a rockstar.

[@pegc3706]

Congratulations on your 100th episode! So much great information over the weeks. You could write a book!

[@eringladney2307]

I have a 6 hour 1:1 beginner spinning class set up for 2 weekends from now. I"m so excited to start spinning!

[@LanaPerrotti]

Congrats, Andrea! Just happened on this looking at some other youtubes...I have your weekender sweater pattern, and am looking forward to making it....i'm hoping it won't be too difficult--started knitting in 2019--a covid thing, and got hooked on the process! Thanks, was fun watching, and looking foward to more!

[@knittingghost]

Congratulations on 100 episodes! Your videos are so fantastic, and I look forward to them every week! 🎊

[@riversblake1400]

Congratulations to episode 100! You inspire me every week with your insight, wisdom and generous shares. Thank you for shinning a light on all things fiber, knitting and creativity❤

[@lisaflood6193]

I've been watching you weekly from the beginning! I love the format and feeling like we're just sitting and chatting. I used to work Mon-Thurs and you were my Friday morning self-indulgence, once the kids were off at school. Coffee, knitting and Andrea's I'll Knit If I Want To to start my day. Now I catch up with you on the weekend. Congratulations on episode 100!

[@kathyblossom5490]

Thanks for talking about the bonus question on rowing out! I had not heard that term before but it has been an issue with me for a long time! Didn’t even know that a thing that could be fixed! Thanks so much!

[@kathykelly2148]

Yippeee 100 episodes and I am pretty sure I have been here for all of them. Thank you for 2 years of great inspiration and information!

[@nikkieknits7544]

Congratulations 🎉 💯 is a lot! Also when you talked about your DRK series it set off my Siri lol 😂

[@TheMetatronGirl]

Congratulations on 100!!! And on feeling better!!! I completely understand how hard it is not to do ALL THE THINGS when you start feeling semi-human, again. I’m super excited to see what you do after you come back! I get the pain in my thumb when I’m working too hard at drafting, whether that’s because my hands are too close, my brake is too high, or I’m dealing with severely compacted or poorly prepared fiber. As an EDS patient (a collagen disorder that causes hypermobility, among many other things), I have actually dislocated my thumb by pulling too hard. Pre-drafting my fiber even slightly before spinning does wonders to ease my grip.

[@theknittystew]

Happy Centennial Episode Andrea! Glad to hear you are feeling better and better. I have learned SOooOo MUCH from these weekly Q&A sessions. Most of all I want to thank you for sharing your pure joy and fibre enthusiasm with us. You are human sunshine. 🔆
