Hi Lisa! Thank you for sharing all the lovely socks… so sorry for your loss… yes life is too short. Hoping for a better week for you and the family 💜

[@lesamatthes7811]

Love those Opal socks! So very sorry about the losses in your family.

[@lindseylemon9067]

I wanted to say last week that death comes in 3 but that sounded ominous. Well now it sounds accurate. Prayers for y’all during time of grief. ❤

[@wannabehandspunyarns]

I'm so sorry to hear about the death of your cousin's husband. It always really makes me reevaluate a lot when someone close to me passes. Wishing you a restful, knitting filled week this week. I love the Opal socks! (and all the other ones too)!

[@melyndamills80]

Big hugs to you with the loss of your cousin's husband way too soon. I knit my feelings, too. We're lucky to have such a soothing outlet for that. I love your tie dye socks so much 😍 Sibling Energy is part of the Emtothethird Knitting podcast. I enjoy them, too. Thank you for keeping me company every Monday morning ❤️

[@lisab.3116]

So sorry about you loss. It's never easy to lose someone you care about.

[@annk2tog168]

You're welcome Lisa! I have sent you some of this southern heat Return the favor this fall and send us some chilly air! 😄Glad your family is well. Sorry for your losses.

[@Professor_Purl]

Hi Lisa - I knit my feelings all the time! Isn't it lucky we have knitting to do that? Sorry about your cousin. And you if you think 40 is old - wait till you are staring at 60! Knit in good health, whatever your feelings are ;-), @Professor Purl

[@HappyCraftyHomemaker]

I am turning heels again while watchin! That Kylo Ren yarn is so cool!!! Not my fandom but I do love the yarns!!!

[@Craftymum66]

Condolences to you and your family. My thoughts are with you. I knit, crochet and cross stitch my feelings too. Thank you for sharing and podcasting. I hope things improve for you. Take care and happy crafting 🤗💜🌺

[@knitalltheyarnpodcast5512]

Thank you ❤️

Hello Lisa from Swansea, Illinois.

[@cozygirlknits]

I’m so sorry for your loss. Cancer can suck it. Hope you feel better in time. I’m knitting up the June Halloween socks now and they are 🤌🏻. You will love them! Take care.

[@julie1807]

Here’s hoping for a great summer (that is cooler than this week). I’m in the Indianapolis area and thought our weather was going to be bad (low 90’s) yours is even worse! Air conditioning, knitting podcasts, and sock knitting to survive.

[@nikimurray3219]

Sorry to hear your sad news, next week will be better. Definitely knit my feelings xx

[@graceyj7996]

I am so sorry for your family’s loss.. too young and indeed life is short! I just turned 60 and have no idea where the time has gone! If you need a new Netflix rec, we finished Man In Full and then watched Who Is Erin Carter….it was excellent!

[@knitalltheyarnpodcast5512]

Thank! I loved Man in Full!

[@doreenjohnson5464]

Love your podcast. I am from Michigan but now live in Missouri. Would like to come for the Fiber Festival at Allegan County Fairground in August

[@Ladeedi73]

🤗🤗🤗 🌟🌟🌟sent to you Lisa. I get it💛

[@kellynalley7832]

Last Thursday I had jury duty and now I have COVID. Living in Tx, so you were correct to worry about that. I know I'm sick when I can't craft😢

[@knitalltheyarnpodcast5512]

Oh no! That’s awful! Feel better soon! ❤️

[@pammyers1982]

Sorry to hear about your cousin’s husband. My father in law was also 47-brain tumor that metastasized. Very young. Hugs to you and your family.

[@Yarnchickenfibers_]

I am so sorry for your loss. I am glad you were up to podcasting. FWIW the Throne of Glass audiobooks were well done. Definitely worth a listen

[@theresaskotarczak5867]

Sorry about your loss. I watch that podcast, sibling energy, as well. You might like peace 4 fleece podcast, he's a speedy knitter like you!

[@knitalltheyarnpodcast5512]

I watch him too! 😆

[@mommajessknits]

Sorry to hear about your cousins husband. I hope your girls enjoy their summer. I’ve gotten so many books from the library lately. Our library does an adult summer reading program as well as kids and teens. I won a Kindle fire years ago.

[@knitalltheyarnpodcast5512]

Nice!

[@loisdougherty8750]

Thanks

[@valerieodonnell6764]

Lisa we are the same age! I’ll be 40 next month and it’s kind of a mind trip. When did this happen?! So sorry about the loss of your family member. My brother in law has been dealing with glioblastoma (a type of brain cancer that is always fatal) for about 2 1/2 years and is now on hospice, the end is near. He isn’t going to see 40 and it really puts it into perspective that aging is a privilege.

[@28knitter]

So very sorry to hear this. It is such a horrible cancer to have. I lost my mom to this type of cancer 24 years ago

[@babyZale]

So sorry to hear of your family’s loss. Thank you for your podcast, hopefully you can feel all the good vibes being sent back to you.

[@Knittingangel67]

Sorry for your family loss. Cancer sucks. I’m always looking for new to me podcasts. I’d love if you could list yours in the notes, no need to do links if it’s a pain.

[@knitalltheyarnpodcast5512]

Yes! I should do that. 😆

[@sandracroley9784]

Now I'm wanting to join a mystery sock subscription...I'll have to see if there are any offered in Canada 🤔...I absolutely love the To Tie Dye For (?), socks!

[@maryglancy17]

Polka Dot Creek is in Canada 🇨🇦

[@maryglancy17]

Like Minds I tell ya! Ordered myself a new project bag (in advance for my sock knitting anniversary present July 3 it’s 9 years) oh and some Must Stash yarn too (some for me some for gift socks). I’m so sorry for your family losses. We recently got similar extremely bad news of a brain tumor affecting my husband’s 32 year old son. Jeesh that’s rough. Knitting all the feelings

[@ericallerton809]

[@HeatherKelly]

Loved catching up with you this week. Sorry to hear about the week you had. Hopefully you can perk back up this next week.❤

[@FirnMamaMakes]

❤❤❤

[@HedgeWitch13]

Aw Lisa sending you a big massive hug, loosing friends or family at such a young age is just awful but also very sobering as it brings out own mortality to the front of our already anxious minds, sigh..mixed in with the kids reaching milestones..woah woah slow down world please?! I feel you honey ❤ take care in that heat too. It's 56° hear in the far North of England today, its allegedly summer! 😂

[@knitalltheyarnpodcast5512]

Thanks. ❤️

[@loisdougherty8750]

Question on the Ralvery thread. Is there a trial period to share posts and then there is a yearly fee?

[@knitalltheyarnpodcast5512]

Ravelry is free. If there’s a paid version I don’t know what it is.

[@StitchesOfSass]

Don’t get me started on Kylo Ren’s moods. 😅 I’ve said he was a typical teenager since his appearance! Gotta love him for it though! I’m so sorry for all the loss your family is experiencing right now. We went through a spurt in 2020/2021 where we lost a lot of people all at once (only 1 covid related). But in the span of less than a year I lost my father, my uncle, both maternal grandparents, and my father in law.

[@knitalltheyarnpodcast5512]

❤️❤️❤️

[@kendenta2207]

Knitting my feelings? Can't really grasp that emotion. If your knitting and thinking about negative thoughts, well that can compromising and somewhat of a Debbie Downer. Positive one's should be much better. Knitting, including all crafting and hobby projects should remain fun, exciting, and pleasurable. Perhaps it's a girl thing. In my❤❤😢 knitting mode I am extremely happy, content, and in a comfortable place that honors me with an enormous amount of PEACE.
