It's wonderful to see and have a visit with Nicole. I have missed her greatly. Glad to see she is doing ok and getting better and still knitting and quilting. Love and gratitude to you both. Thank you!

[@rebeccakeller6141]

It is so wonderful to see you again, Nicole!! You were the first podcaster I found on UTube as I discovered knitting podcasts during the pandemic. All the best to you!!

[@thaisoneon]

Same. Her KZbin channel is responsible for me tuning into to other vloggers and podcasters, and it remains my favourite. So calm and gentle and informative. I’m heart glad to see Nicole so much more animated than last time she posted an episode of the Gentle Knitter.

[@ronnadelavergne9217]

Thank you SO much for sharing your time with Nicole! She was the first person I ever watched on KZbin and she still inspires what I knit and how I conduct my days! Made me teary to see her again. Knew I missed her but just not how much until hearing her voice and seeing her again. Just wonderful!

[@alicemckay1]

It's so wonderful to see Nicole - I think of her often and hope she's doing well. What a lovely conversation - thank you for sharing it with us!

This was such a treat! Nichole was the first knitting podcast I watched religiously and introduced me to you, Sarah. Her episode 41 ( Black and Blue) and “Father of the Bride” are my go to’s when I need a mood lifter. Thanks for such wonderful content ladies.🙏

[@colleenpayne1846]

Delighted to see and hear from Nicole. Her sense of style and meticulous knitting have always inspired me and even though she's been away from KZbin for awhile, her podcast remains my favourite of all time (I love yours too Sarah!).

[@sunnyw4148]

Wow I have missed Nicole so much with her peaceful approach to making and life. I listened to her podcasts for a while before she sent me to you. SO glad the two of you got to make things and memories. Happy Knitting

[@cherieredelings5714]

So lovely to see you again, Nicole! You were the first knitting podcast I found and subscribed to 5 - or was it 6? - years ago when knitting took over much of my free time. I followed the vlogmas episodes, took comfort in your podcast in the throes of covid, and looked forward to every podcast. I'm so glad to see that you are doing better and still knitting.

Hi Nicole; just wanted you to know you’ve been in my thoughts over the last year. Didn’t want to post on your channel as I thought you were taking a much-needed break. So glad to see you on FibreTrek (a new channel for me). You are so missed! I have always appreciated your esthetic and envied your knitting skills. Sending you much peace and joy this season and wish you all the best for 2025! Thank you, Sarah for a lovely episode!
