How special was that…Nicole and Sarah together! Thanks to, Sarah, for bringing Nicole to us. Nicole, I wish you many blessings and hope you continue on your recovery and hope to see you soon.

Oh my goodness, soooo delightful to visit with you both but seeing Nicole brought such warmth to my heart. She is so loved by this community. Thank you Sarah for bringing her on and sharing your visit together ❤❤

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!

[@edytheneumann4656]

Thank you to both of you for sharing this sweet interlude! Of course Nicole has been sorely missed in the world of knitting podcasts and so this has been such a treat. How wonderful to think you are envisioning an eventual return to recording your making journey! Big thanks to Sarah for making this happen.

[@lynneeie5226]

Thank you, Sarah! Lovely to see Nicole again! Wishing her continued healing & wellness (& a possible eventual return to YT would be a bonus, undeniable - but health & wellness first ❤️). Happy New Year to both of you!

[@estherrubin867]

So heartwarming to see you two together. Nicole, please know that you are missed and I’m glad that you are progressing. Best wishes for continued healing. Sarah, your sweater is gorgeous and thank you for sharing this wonderful episode.

Hi, Nicole! What an uplifting video! I soooooo needed this today! The smiles that you two hold for each other is so heartwarming, obviously dear friends. Glad to see things are looking up for you Nicole, sending you lots of love and prayers. Thank you Sarah for sharing your visit with us. 🌻🎄

[@janinef66]

Ohh how lovely to see dear Nicole looking so well! I look forward to the day the Gentle Knitter podcasts resume! 🥰

[@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.

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.
