Perfect.I sometimes wish we didn’t live so far away up here in the north of Scotland, though it’s lovely too. What fun you had with your friends during lockdown. I didn’t mind it so much but I missed my people. Thanks again Pene, love to you and Pete. Xx

Good to hear from you Pene. The finished quilt with its secret pocket is delightful, as is the cardigan for Mila. The colours are perfect and the lovely buttons. Hope you are getting more of the jumper knitted, can't wait to see you wearing it. Your latest jaunt looked lovely, loved the book bench and " I want one" springs to mind. Pete's bunny socks are just right, it's good to have a little fun with our crafts. Have a good week and take care.

Hi Penelope. It was so lovely to catch up with you again. I think 'Meela' (I hope that is spelt correctly) will love her lovely cardigan and beautiful quilt. The quilt has turned out so well. I think one for yourself is a great idea and beginning with the lovely blocks you have already made is perfect. It was fun to have a peep at your lockdown videos. What a great memory to have. I actually loved lockdown. We were the most locked down city in the world here in Melbourne, more on than off for 2 years. I began my patchwork journey and now have many quilts finished. Finishing something was always a problem for me. Thank you for taking us on a tour of The Star. Such an interesting and beautiful place. I loved the textiles in the room, especially the blanket. Take care xx

Thanks so much for the stitch tutorial. The hands are a challenge with hand stitching and crochet. Mila's sweater and the quilt are both so beautiful...real treasures. Loved going along on your trip this week and your photography is so wonderful. You have a great eye. It was nice to see the close-up views of the blanket and the book bench. Both so very unique. But...best of all was the silly film from stay-at-home time. I laughed out loud at the plant cover and retirement woes. I completely understand. 😊

Yes, I think we all feel an empty house is the easiest to clean! My hands are a challenge with crochet which is why I don't do it. Hand stitching is ok. I have to be careful all round really. The physio told me to buy jelly like balls of different weights and squeeze them and roll them etc. I find that really helps and do it regularly. Glad we had a laugh together. xx

Such a lovely visit from you today! I’m so glad you made the decision to go “public” with your videos because your episodes are such a treat! It’s fun to see the beautiful yarns in your stash - so many possibilities for projects and the palettes of the sea slugs is a great way to get ideas of putting together your own color palette. I laughed out loud at the suggestion Pete made about a onesie! He looked so good in his bunny socks in front of The Star! Also, the Eye Spy quilt is precious - a real heirloom! Thank you for this episode (and the last one which I never commented about, but enjoyed). You bring a bright spot in any day that I see another Chinwag appear!

I love hearing about the places you have been, Alfriston looks beautiful. There are so many amazing places to visit in this country. I have yet to knit a jumper top down, yet I really don’t enjoy sewing up garments after knitting them. I think one of the things stopping me is that I had read an article a few years ago that said garments knitted in the round didn’t have as much stability and tended to twist where a seamed garment doesn’t. But given the popularity of top down patterns, I guess that this isn’t the case. The quilt is so nice, and I am sure will be treasured by your great granddaughter.

Good morning Penne! What a lovely visit with you today! I enjoyed seeing your finished quilt and all of those heart warming touches I know your grandchildren are going to treasure. Your jumper is beautiful! Thank you for sharing your lovely visit to such a unique place. I am a hand weaver and the blanket is definitely handwoven and gorgeous. You always make me chuckle with the videos you share talking to your friends❤. I am going to try to make a quilt like the one you shared with us and I will have to happily review some of your old videos to find the designers pattern. Take care, enjoy the changes into Autumn. Our leaves are beginning to change here and it is getting cooler and darker earlier in the evening. Hugs to you and Pete. See you soon.

You did make me smile with your 'hat' Pene ☺ I very nearly gave away all my fabric last week as my fingers won't work as I want them too and I became quite disheartened. I'm not a quilter but a friend suggested I try the quilters gloves so am going to give them a go! I'm off to Yarndale next week so will get some yarny love whilst I'm there. A week in Yorkshire with good friends can only be a plus 🥰

I know the feeling about the fingers Sandra. The physio told me to buy some jelly like balls of different weights from Amazon and use them - squeeze, roll etc. (Not throw like Tommy does when he visits!). They have really helped me and I have them with me at all times and regularly exercise the hands. Enjoy Yarndale with friends. What a treat. xx

Great video as always. We are presently selling our caravan after nearly fifty years of van holidays, as you have shown us another, really lovely way to have a break! Thank you also for the helpful Quilt joining instructions, which I plan to try ,after purchasing the templates recently. The joining and drape of QAYG quilts bothered me also. Your quilt and knitting was beautiful and I thought the colour blend in Mila’s cardigan looked better than the pattern photo. When you said ‘Sea slugs’ I shuddered, but the photography revealing these colourful creatures was astonishing! Loved the fun films, a sense of humour keeps our chins up don’t you think? 😊

That must be a mixture of emotions selling the van. Like you say it doesn't mean your trips away have to stop. We are finding short short breaks so lovely. I'm so pleased with the quilt, like you say the joining and drape are fine. Took me a while to get it right though. I will do a short short video from start to finish. Sense of humour essential, a good laugh is a treat I think. xx

I meant to comment on your previous episode Pene but I watch on my tablet but prefer to comment using the laptop keyboard so I often forget Another great episode. I'm yet to be convinced with the top down method although it has it's advantages and there are more modern patterns available for it. I think seams are more important when using something that has a lot of drape such as alpaca as some yarn will stretch. Your jumper is lovely and I do want to knit one of her patterns soon. Add it to my never ending list 😅 I loved seeing you in the tea cosy in the other episode and I immediately thought of Tudor or Medieval hats or headwear. The latest quilt is just beautiful and I'm saving the method of handsewing so I can use it on mine See you soon xx

Hi Anne, I'm the same with commenting please don't worry. I agree about top down, this is my third one in all my knitting history, and so I don't have enough experience yet. The forest light is alpaca for me so we shall see, although I have knitted it a bit small so if it stretches all so well and good! I hope to do a very short video on the quilt as you go method I have found works best for me. I have shown it on the episodes but it will be handy for some to have it in one place. I have watched your latest episode but not commented yet. I hope you get the car that is right for you. xx

Quick question, The project bags you shared on your last video… are they your own design..? I love them and I like the pocket on the outside😊

Hi Penelope Love all of your vlogs. Watching through all of them ❤ I do have a question- can you share what the pattern is for the swearer you are wearing in Episode 90 . I love the colour and the pattern and would like to make one. Thank you so much

Lovely to hear from you. Should you wish to comment for another episode you can comment under the episode. It comes up for me the same. I will see it. Anyway, I love the green cardigan (I hope that is the one you mean, cables and bobbles.). It is from a book called North by Kim Hargreaves published in 2014. I do have my knits for years! The pattern is called LOVELY.

@@penelopeschinwag yes that is the cardigan , thank you for letting me know about commenting on the episode. I didn’t know about that. Next time I will . I will look on Ravelry to see if I can find the pattern. And I’m going to try and find wool in same colour as you used. It’s beautiful. Have a great evening. Kathy

@@penelopeschinwag No luck finding pattern . Ravelry shows the pattern but no way to purchase. So I googled to see if I could find anywhere but no such luck. I can keep searching I’m wondering if I contact direct to ROWAN or if KIM has a website? I will keep searching. I will be watching your vlog for the wool information. Looking forward❤️
