Thank you for showing how to weave in the ends as we go. I like that very much. 😊😊

I’m glad I found you. I’m next door in NH. :). Thank you for considering some of us don’t want to spend so much money on yarn to make a sweater. I wouldn’t spend that much on a sweater I buy so it’s hard for me to justify some of these yarn prices. I just recently learned that some LYS carries brands that can be more affordable. Thank you. I’ve enjoyed your podcast. I just discovered you a few podcasts ago. :)

Another good episode, thank you. I live in Southern California. Right now I’m glad to have a pool in my backyard where I knit under an umbrella poolside. Currently I’m knitting a summer tee using Berroco Tillie.

Hi Nancy and Robin - thanks for a great podcast. Lovely solids and looking forward to Andrea's new pattern where we can use this - thanks. I was just thinking at the start of the podcast Nancy, how good you are looking! We are all forgetful - who cares!! Thanks for the tips - glue mender- have ordered now and will give it a go. Also for the knitting math calculator - have bookmarked and look at if needed. So important to have these aids recommended so thanks for that. Oh my, that cashmere/silk looks very inviting! keep well both of you. Sharon 🥰

I’m making the Luminos Tee as I watch your podcast. I’m playing yarn chicken with some madelinetosh pashmina I’ve had for years. Love yours.

I just found your podcast. I'm learning continental knitting. Our rural area of northeast Indiana only has a Walmart (with very little yarn). I've crocheted over 50 years. Thanks for your husband tips. The yarns that you showed are really pretty pretty. I've not worked with any of those fibers.

Regarding the Fraycheck to keep loose ends secured, I weave the loose end almost all the way through but stop short of completely into the work. Add a dab of Fraycheck to the strand just before you pull it completely through the work and it will be drawn into the fabric to dry securely hidden between the stitches.

Another great episode TU❤❤❤

Thank you so muck for your help today ❤

[@joanmiller7519]

Thank you for demonstrating the technique for eliminating weaving in ends. It was well done. I wonder if this only works for stockinette stitch. I tried it with half twisted rib and ended up with a gap in the ribbing where I dropped the old yarn and started the new. Any suggestions?

[@judithtaylor6916]

Nancy, DO NOT talk yourself into memory loss!! Many factors such as too much going through your mind or on your plate, can distract you from remembering. Could you organise please an interview with the Nigerian teenager?
