Episode 31 - Confessions of a Knitter

[@melissacantrell1879]

I too need motivation for exercise. I’m working on baby stuff for my newest grandson coming very soon! Thanks Darcy for another great episode

It was so nice to meet you and Katie in person! I need more motivation to exercise as well. I think I’ve only had my bike out one time this summer.

I hope you enjoyed your retreat. I put together a family retreat there times a year. It is at a retreat center that used to be a bank. Retreats are so fun!

Your little turtle is so cute. I struggle with moving too because i want to sit and knit. I've never tried to knit while walking or on the treadmill. I walk my son's dog 4 days a week so that really helps. I haven't started Christmas projects yet, but I should! 😅 Thanks for another great podcast!

[@chitchatknits]

That is great - you do get a lot of exercise walking those dogs. Thank you for watching!!

I love knitting all day. The only way I get my workout in is to schedule it. I know every day when it hits that time, the needles get put away and the workout clothes go on! Another great podcast!

[@chitchatknits]

Yes, I think scheduling is the way to go - it is just too easy to keep knitting!! Thank you for watching!!!

[@cindyehlers6714]

Just watched your podcast for the first time. I’m glad I got to meet you and Katie at the Meet-up! I already have next year’s on my calendar. Happy Knitting, Darcy!

[@chitchatknits]

Thank you so much for watching. I will look forward to seeing you next summer!!!

It was so nice to meet you and Katie in Illinois. I will definitely be attending again next year. I need to get my shoes on and start walking again. I was walking 40-60 minutes a day until the week before Maker's Meet Up. A stress fracture has derailed my exercise since. Will be out walking again as soon as cleared by the doctor.

[@chitchatknits]

Oh, I am so sorry you are having to deal with a fracture. That is not fun. I wish you happy healing!!!

I am a avid sock knitter, a pair always on my needles. So I thought it would be fun to make a garland of little socks for a Christmas decoration. My family all ask for socks for Christmas, so have the 14 pair done for them. Found a pattern on raverly, so cute, started today.

[@chitchatknits]

Oh my goodness, how cute the garland will be, and wowza 14 pair of socks all ready for Christmas - way to go!!!

I'm a "jogger too"! It's tough to get outside in the summer here down in Atlanta. Then, of course, work gets in the way. I work in retail, so I do get my steps in though. I need to get a little sweater for my grandson on the needles, as his first birthday is in Oct. I also have to get a few baby blankets on the hook. I'm just in a cast on paralysis state. UGH

[@chitchatknits]

That little sweater for your grandson will be fun to make. I'll try to send some cooler weather your way!! Happy knitting!!

Greetings from Jacksonville, Florida. So nice to have met you and Katy. My little Sheldon Friend turtle is enjoying his new home here in Florida. I can relate to your, I’ll just knit for 2 hours, and suddenly it’s late afternoon. No judgement. No guilt.

[@chitchatknits]

It was wonderful to meet you. I sure hope we all get back to the meet up again next summer. Happy Knitting!!

[@susansmith3264]

Hi Darcy! I’m so glad that you and Katie got your take that trip together! Sounds like sooo much fun! Listen to you, teasing us with secret projects! I can’t wait until your next podcast to see what it is you are keeping a secret!!!!!

[@chitchatknits]

I know, what a tease I am. Thanks for watching friend!!

[@carlaknitspodcast3392]

Hi Darcy! So nice to see you! It sounds like you had a wonderful time at Makers Meetup! The quilt that you showed is amazing 😮 - your sons have one talented mama! What a wonderful Christmas gift the quilts will be! As for being active in the summer-that’s when Jeff and I do the best. We start each morning with an hour walk, trying to do it before the heat of the day. Take care sweet friend!😊

[@chitchatknits]

I know what a busy gal you are Carla! Wishing you a happy start to the new school year!!!
