My husband and I honeymooned in Bermuda 46 years ago and went back again on a cruise about 5 years ago. Love it there!

[@bethmacdonaldstone]

Wonderful! It's a special spot

[@amberjadefjohnson9474]

The bike story was precious. Good mom!

[@bethmacdonaldstone]

You are so kind. Each day is trying!!! Parenting is not for the faint hearted! :)

[@thetangledstitch]

Thank you Beth! Very enjoyable and always a bonus to get to know the designer’s mindset and intentions behind the garment. 👍💜

[@bethmacdonaldstone]

Thanks Kelly! So glad you enjoyed it

[@mostlyknitting]

Really enjoyed your podcast and hearing about life in Bermuda. My son just turned 16 a couple of weeks ago here in Australia and we have to spend 120 hours in the car with him while he learns to drive. Once he is 17, he can take a test and be on his own in the car. It is really nerve-wracking being a parent. His sister took 2 years to get her hours up and she (and we) were so excited when she got her licence at 18. Not long after she had huge accident at speed and rolled the car (someone had broken down in the middle of the road and she didnt see it until too late). Thankfully she was able to crawl out without any injuries. I am so grateful. Now with my son, I am not in any hurry for him to get his licence and be driving on his own. Love your designs. Subscribed and looking forward to more podcasts. Sadly I wont make it to Rhinebeck for at least another couple of years. One day. :)

[@bethmacdonaldstone]

Oh wow! What a shame for your daughter! A real fright for everyone!!! I love that in Australia you have to spend 120 hours in the car. Amazing! Thanks for watching, hoping to publish another next week.

[@AndreaS24017]

Congrats on the podcast, please continue if your life allows! I love your style and now have many of your patterns in my favorites!

[@bethmacdonaldstone]

Thank you so much!

[@TheSablelou]

I am so excited to see someone in a warm climate knitting wool! There are so many beautiful wools to knit with!

[@bethmacdonaldstone]

Oh yes! Lots of wonderful wools to knit with! Thank you!

[@WhimsiesWorld]

We spent 5 years living in Bermuda .....our house had a fireplace which we laughed about when we first moved in ....and proceeded to use constantly through every single winter 🤣 Thank you so much for this little nostalgic visit combined with my new passion for knitting!

[@bethmacdonaldstone]

Yes - ha, ha! A fireplace is the key to the home in the winter here in Bermuda! Sounds like you have great memories of our funny little island. Fabulous!

[@klaskelangford8324]

Thank you, Beth: looking forward to your new designs being released!

So thrilled to a podcast from Bermuda. I lived in Bermuda as a small child from 1959 to 1961 when my dad was stationed at the Naval air station that used to be there. I have such wonderful memories of my time there. Back to watching your podcast now.

[@bethmacdonaldstone]

How wonderful! Bermuda is a special place for sure. Thank you!

Hello Beth, your channel popped up in my feed, then i saw the flag in the background! Great jumpers, i prefer mine longer. My fav was the coloured yoke and floats, great colourwork! I've only done test knitting on beanies and socks, nothing bigger! Thanks for sharing!

[@bethmacdonaldstone]

Thank you! We all do have our preferred lengths dont we. So good to know and to work with

[@bethdekoster2434]

So happy you started a podcast - it is lovely! And really cool to hear about the hows and whys of your designs. I snagged that boxy blue raglan - casting on in a Hinterland yarm that I have had in my stash today. I think it will be perfect! I live in the Pacific NW - way up in the very tippy top corner of WA state. And, as you said, that sweater will be great with dresses, leggings, etc. Thank you for taking the time to chat - looking forward to future episodes. :)

[@bethmacdonaldstone]

Yay, thank you!

[@thekindles1183]

Loved your episode. Related to GI issues and completely agree with your sentiment that everyone hears things differently when finding videos but love all the videos for a visual learning experience, just everything was so well said. Thanks for the time! - K

Really happy to have found you and congratulations on your new vlog adventure. I discovered your designs through Ray at Needles at the ready and "pouf" you came randomlyon my YT feed. I absolutely love your Boxy Blue design as I have a soft spot for 60s designs. I must say that the Breakfast at Tiffany has that vibe too. More projects for my needles😊😊

Love your designs - realized I have your Trunk Island Tank in my Favs. I am a fairly new to sweater knitting and I love to learn how to customize for fit, so appreciate tips & training whenever you can. ❤ I live in Florida, but I too love sweaters, shawls, cowls etc. Geez it has been a ridiculously hot humid summer. Yuck! Bermuda is on bucket list. Love hearing about it. Good luck on podcast & glad to add you to my World Knitting Friends list. Joni D 😊

How wonderful to have stumbled across your first podcast! I live on the coast of Georgia in the USA and we have similar weather here... We go from the Devil's front porch in the summer to wonderful, light sweater but wet weather from November through February so it is fantastic to discover a creator who understands knitwear for tropical environments. Thank you for starting these podcasts. I will certainly be checking out your patterns and already look forward to making some of your designs.

[@bethmacdonaldstone]

Wonderful! Thank you!

[@theyarngoeson]

Really happy that your channel showed up in my KZbin recommendations - Your designs are beautiful! I love hearing your design process thoughts. I tend to adjust as I go in my knitting to adapt things to fit me better; I’ll make myself notes and use / re-use those notes in my next and future makes.

[@bethmacdonaldstone]

Yes I do the same. It's all about exploring what's best for your own body type isn't it? I think a lifelong and interesting challenge :)

[@sallythompson2635]

I really enjoy your podcast and stories of Bermuda life. You are so encouraging to do our own thing and explore. TFS

[@bethmacdonaldstone]

I'm so glad! I think it's so important to knit for your own body and I look forward to discussing that more. Thank you!

Hi there, Beth! Congratulations on your 1st podcast. Nice sweaters😊👏 You comming in like a tropical wind to cold Norway. At least the last couple of days have been cold on the south- west of Norway. I am a knitted myself. Knitting all kind of things, - from socks, hats, mittens to sweaters, shawls and dresses. I mostly design all things myself, or have got an inspiration from this or that. It I have never written a pattern on these items. So they are all one-of-a-kind. I am happy with that. Looking forward to seeing you again. Greetings from Norway 🇳🇴

[@bethmacdonaldstone]

Its really amazing - the Gulf Stream passes by us and ends with you in Norway. It's truly a small world... Sounds like you are a very competent and creative knitter. Fantastic! I sure hope you poste your projects on Instagram so we can all appreciate your creativity! Well done! Happy knitting!

[@ruthdennisKnits]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@pegc3706]

Beth, great 1st podcast. Thanks for sharing your thoughts behind your knits. I bought the Blue Boxy and look forward to knitting it this season. I've never been to Bermuda so I'm interested in hearing about your life there. My grandparents are from the Azores so you had me at the intro! Enjoy Rhinebeck. Looking forward to your next YT upload. Best of luck to your son! Sixteen is a hard but exciting age.

[@bethmacdonaldstone]

Wonderful! There are so many people here from the Azores! Somewhere I'd really like to go and visit. Heard so much about it and it sounds like heaven - those hydrangea hedge rows seem too good to be true! Because there are so many Azoreans in Bermuda, there are direct flights a few times a year and would be great to take advantage of that. I think its a 4 hour or less flight. Hopefully one day! Thanks for watching. Hoping to record and publish another episode next week.

[@wendyhassam8353]

Loved your podcast - thank you Beth. I’m looking forward to seeing more of your beautiful designs & hearing about life in Bermuda. We’ve recently moved back to England having lived on a small Scottish island for five years where weather and roads were also very challenging at times! Knitting always saved the day though and helped focus the mind until the storms passed 🧶😊

[@bethmacdonaldstone]

Oh that must have been fabulous - the small Scottish Island. My MacDonald side of the family originates from Iona. I've never been but got as close as Oban.

[@wendyhassam8353]

[@Teatime-mq6bv]

Wow! Just wow! When your podcast started I was wondering where you are. Such a thrilling landscape! Wonderful! And then the same with your projects! The shirt you are wearing looks sooooo nice. Unfortunately I didn’t understand the way you fixed the problem with the neck🙈…, my English! And you are a great designer. And you explain very well (even I didn’t understand the neck thing). All your sweaters are an inspiration and worth to knit them. Well, I am not the biggest fan of colourwork (because I am not able to work them nice), but the yoke of your last sweater is so so wonderful. Maybe I try it again…., maybe. Thanks for that wonderful podcast and I hope to see much more of you (and of the nice place you live, even I can imagine that it is not ever easy to live there. But I think I would really love it, despite of the hard winters. But of course, it is easy to speak like this if you have never lived like that… Thanks again and greetings from Europe.

[@bethmacdonaldstone]

Thank you! The neck thing was to fix the collar of the top I was wearing. It needed stability so I added a ribbon to the inside to add support. Hope that explains it better for you Many thanks for watching and your lovely comments
