I will definitely add you to my prayer list. Praying for wisdom for your surgical staff and a quick recovery. Be well. I just love spending time with you both. Love your knit choices, and your yarns are beautiful.

[@bethmccrabb1583]

Praying that the Lord lays His healing hands on you and that your recovery is quick and restorative for your body, mind and soul.🙏

[@cwanlin128]

I always love your positive, cheerful podcasts where you share your knits. Diana, I definitely send prayers to you for quick healing. It sounds like you are blessed to have family nearby to care for you, and I'm sure you have several friends as well. I absolutely LOVE the sweater you are making for your granddaughter! I only have grandsons, so I don't get to knit those sweet sweaters! Kaity, your Lyon sweater is beautiful! I always pick up extra stitches in the underarms to prevent holes.

[@frunzid1]

Prayers for you, your family and doctors and staff for successful surgery and complete healing and speedy recovery Diana!!

[@ellenchappell1574]

I was in Lexington last spring for the fiber festival. It poured rain, but I still enjoyed myself😊. I pray for peace, and complete healing, and even joy in this trial for you. You are so very blessed to have loving family to care for you.

[@user-gk2tp7lz5v]

Lovely episode, wishing you a successful surgery and speedy healing x

[@bek-bek-bek-bek]

It has taken me two weeks on and off to watch this fabulous episode, so I hope that your surgery has gone as well as it could possibly go Diana and that your recovery is smooth and steady. Let yourself be looked after and fussed over just a little, your children will likely want to shower you with the same love it is evident you have sprinkled throughout their lives ❤ Kaity I am knitting Adelita by Sari Nordlund at the moment and it is a lovely knit and quite quick once you get into it. I love the look of her new book too! Take care you two! Look forward to the next episode whenever it comes!

[@WendyPooleKnits]

I love your KZbin Channel ladies, you’re both a joy to watch and I really look forward to your new episodes. Sending prayers, take care and wishing you a speedy recovery from Cornwall, UK. Xx

[@susancutt5726]

Prayers for a speedy recovery! 🙏

[@emilylee9441]

Praying your surgery goes well and the recovery is speedy:)

[@kendram7511]

Sending prayers and positive thoughts, Diana! I’m also in recovery mode from a second surgery, it was a bit smoother this time - mostly because I was a smarter patient.😂 All the best 💕

[@cynthiatennant9896]

Hi Kaity & Diana, I found a beginner pattern that has a 4 hour tutorial with instructions on each step. The designer is Jessica McDonald and the sweater is Woodsmoke. The sizes are from baby to adult. Since I’m a beginner I’m going to make a little one for my grandson for next winter(because I slow still). I’m just starting on my swatch so I have only watched a little bit of the tutorial and so far it’s great. It’s on KZbin. I wouldn’t be a good sister if I didn’t mention my sister, Jennifer Wood the pattern designer of Woodhouse Knits. She is retired now but her patterns are still on Raverly. I will say her patterns are advanced. Diana I will be praying for you and I wish you a successful surgery and the best recovery ❤️

[@thefruitfulhands]

How neat! I hope your sweater turns out lovely! We will have to take a look at Woodhouse Knits patterns. Thanks for the suggestion! ☺️ - Kaity

[@gwenrushing9794]

Wait for the sale on Hue & Me yarn. I got mine for $3.99 each.

[@hollysweany4234]

I just love your podcasts!!!! I had my ranunculus split for sleeves and had started on the body. As I was changing cord length I dropped about 10 stitches (cause I’m too cool to use stoppers 🙄). I had to rip it all out because the drops went up into the increases and lacework. It’s sitting in time out for a couple days 😊 Prayers for an easy surgery and quick recovery God is good!!!!

[@sallythompson2635]

You’ll be in my thoughts and prayers 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@stherrien3333]

Prayers to you and your family ❤❤

[@karendavis7278]

Prayers sent

[@mymakingadventure]

Praying for you and your family ❤

[@lindajohnson9155]

Anthology Throw - leave a tail and close up the hole. 😊 it's what I did. And I just kept knitting the mini until it ran out. I didn't change when the pattern said too. And I used the Clasped Weft Join so no ends to weave in. There are a few KZbin videos. Prayers for a successful surgery and quick recovery.

[@thefruitfulhands]

Thank you for the tip on the Throw!! ❤️ Happy Knitting!

[@nancymorgan5505]

Just cast off my Throwover Sweater while watching. Blocking now and hope my fits as well as yours Kaity. 😊

[@sharons5723]

Great podcast. I'm torn between wanting to start another Ranunculus or a Friend to Friend wrap. Sending good thoughts and prayers your way for an uncomplicated surgery and easy recovery!

[@craftingkirsty]

Fab video as always 😊 I have finally worked my way through your videos from the start 😅 Wishing you all the best for your surgery.

[@kendrabowman2551]

I absolutely love watching your podcasts. I started at the 1st episode and little by little made my through to this one. They are inspiring and peaceful to watch, and you both have become knitting friends. :) Could I just suggest that you share the size of the sweaters you're working on? I am similar size to Kaity and it would be very helpful to get an idea of what would fit me. Thank you for the time you put into these videos so you can share with us the joy of knitting. I'll be praying, Diana, for God's peace going through your surgery and for His healing.

[@thefruitfulhands]

Thank you for watching and thank you for you suggestion! I always forget to say which size I make! So sorry. Feel free to ask in the comments about a specific sweater I’ve made! ☺️❤️ - Kaity

[@mostlyknitting]

Hi Diana and Kaity - the vest and sweater you are wearing are beautiful. They both really suit you. Love your WIPs as well. The colours on your Ranunculus sweaters are lovely. It was so nice to hear you watched my podcast, Diana. Thank you for the mention. It is so nice to be able to share our projects with others. I will be praying for your surgery to go well and that you recover quickly. xx

[@thefruitfulhands]

Thank you so much! ☺️ Happy Knitting! ❤️ - Kaity

[@carolynlambert6989]

G’day Diane & Kaity, another joyful & relaxing podcast as I knit on my second sock. My dear mate (nearly 79 yrs) often looks over at me when he hears me giggle out loud watching you both 😂 he’s still on pedal radio days I swear 😂 he’s not at all interested but glad I’m enjoying myself besides he gets to watch whatever he likes on TV 😅 I too ordered a Christmas Day mystery box this week, couldn’t help myself had really quick peak and hid it away from temptation 😮 Sending the kindest thoughts to you Diane for a speedy recovery from your upcoming surgery and let family take care of you🌷🌷🇦🇺

[@thefruitfulhands]

Thank you for your comments! So glad you enjoy the podcast. Happy Knitting! ☺️ - Kaity

[@TheKnittyKats]

Good Morning Ladies ❤

[@MrsBEHorne]

The Lord bless you, Diana, and watch over you as you have surgery. May your recovery be swift. Thank you for a lovely podcast, you bring such joy as you share your knitting.

[@angiek1291]

Sending prayers for your upcoming surgery and recovery 🙏🏻 I so love watching your podcasts! You both are beautiful knitters 🩷🩷

[@kathyleblanc2215]

Your podcast is one of my favourites I have hardly ever won a prize in any contest but my story is similar to yours, I had to sell $50.00 tickets for my daughter's volleyball team. I am not a sales person. I ended up buying 2 tickets and won two prizes - a big screen TV and a trip for 3 to Disneyland for a week -(we live in Northern Canada so this was a big prize).

[@alecsgirl]

Praying for you right now, Diana-for your courage, healing, and for your whole care team!

[@loriflaglor5686]

Praying for surgery to go well, Diana, with no complications before, during or after! I’ve stalled out on my Ranunculus. Christmas knits are taking over as time is running out. A saw an all black wooly worm. What does that indicate? Lots of snow in central Ohio, I hope!

[@Okie_Stitches]

We cut open our persimmon seeds to see their weather prediction. We are expecting snow here in Oklahoma so a bit from our norms. Praying for your upcoming surgery. Prayers for comfort, less pain and complete healing!

[@klaskelangford8324]

Praying for you that all may go well with your upcoming surgery. Thank you for another wonderful episode!

[@lanaparker293]

I saw a totally black wooly worm! Prayers will be lifted for you and the family.

[@HzlEyeGal]

Sending prayers from Illinois, where wool & co, is located. 😀 Diana--that is my favorite color on you. Happy to hear you'll be surrounded by loved ones. Great episode!

[@angelaharknessangels5660]

Love your episodes! I am hoping to get back to knitting on my Ranunculus this week. I am praying for your surgery and recovery Diana! Happy Creating!

[@Cindy_L]

So great to see you friends 😊 another great episode thank you!! ❤Just finished a friend to friend shrug in the Arrowood colorway halfway through my ranunculus and almost finished with my grandson’s sweater. Yay! Look forward to your episodes. Love what you’re knitting. Good luck with surgery. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Prayers already going up. 🙏See you again soon. Happy Knitting!🧶

[@vickistanton9078]

I adore both of you ladies! No judgement here just FYI, The Lyon sweater is pronounced "lee-own" a city in France not "lion". Sending healing vibes to Diana!

[@thefruitfulhands]

Thank you so much! I was wondering if I was saying it correctly! ❤️ Happy Knitting! - Kaity

[@EileenK64]

Praying your surgery goes well! Beautiful projects.

[@karenfeek1706]

I’m waiting for the book to arrive from Germany. Sari Norlund’s

[@theboxervillehomestead2147]

So excited to see you come up! ❤

[@susanscott9]

Some of us don’t do Instagram. I guess you can’t join in the KAL for the Ranuculus in that case. I know nothing about Instagram, can’t imagine starting now. But I love that sweater, I’ve started mine

[@thefruitfulhands]

Hi Susan! Those who don't have Instagram can email us a picture of their Ranunculus and we will add it to our instagram page for the drawing! Sorry for the confusion! Happy Knitting! - Kaity

[@annettebowersox1976]

[@lindapayne9474]

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@marymayfield1974]

I am participating in your Ranunculus KAL, and I am wondering what your opinion is on including the short rows in a 3/4 length sleeve…

[@thefruitfulhands]

Hello! I haven’t done the short rows for the sleeves and don’t plan to for my long sleeve version. But I’m sure it would be great! So glad you are doing the KAL with us! ❤️ - Kaity
