I started watching early this morning. This podcast is very exciting, with plenty of ideas to store away for my next knit. Thank you for making time for us and sharing your talent. I wanted to hop on a plane and come and see you.

[@LeonardTaylor-qw4kk]

I do live in Auckland NZ but have seriously been thinking of flying down to Christchurch and visiting you. Maybe take in the Botanic Gardens. The seed has been planted…

[@zillahrhodes3848]

Ohh Lisa, thanks so very much for another awesome podcast, I really look forward them. Always great fun, and so informative, I love your choice of patterns and all your lovely yarn. I am in the UK, so manage to get to see the John Arbon yarns in person at yarn shows. Your subscribers are very lucky that you have made it possible for them to enjoy. It really is all that you say and more. I have made the Alpine Bloom top, and love it, and am looking forward to the release in the autumn of the sport weight version.That will be my Christmas knit! Thanks again for your great podcasts, I always look forward to your tips and pattern choices, you are such an enabler! Ha ha, very kind regards , Zillah ❤😀

[@UnwindandKnitwithMe]

Thank you for supporting my podcast, its very much appreciated. How exciting a sports weight Alpine Bloom, Yarnadelic would be perfect.

[@kimhardy389]

Hi Lisa , i'm so glad find your chanel on my recommendation KZbin , and from NZ . Love all your tips and recommendations patterns

[@UnwindandKnitwithMe]

Welcome!! and thank you

[@JanHowe-ll3zr]

Another great podcast with so much information. And you are going to meet Kelly and Narelle. I love their podcast. I found them through you. Thank you for that. You are a joy and I love the way you call out colours for the various patterns. Sometimes that is a roadblock to know what colour yarn to use.

[@UnwindandKnitwithMe]

Thank you for supporting my podcast, its very much appreciated. It's so lovely that we have this knitting community to share our tips and other podcast.

[@kathleentanti4387]

As always a fun episode. Love the pattern recommendations and colour palette. Hugs

[@UnwindandKnitwithMe]

Thank you for supporting my podcast, its very much appreciated.

[@susanchanyi3206]

Love your podcast. I live in Ontario Canada. You will love Ontario . So hope you enjoy your holiday. I’m actually visiting my son in Palmerston North this December. I actually will miss most of our winter but will enjoy your summer

[@UnwindandKnitwithMe]

Thank you so much, how exciting that you are visiting NZ. I'm so excited about my trip too. It's alway nice to get 2 summers when you can.

[@christinebrown6154]

another lovely podcast, all your knitting is so inspiring. thanks from scotland

[@UnwindandKnitwithMe]

Thank you for supporting my podcast, its very much appreciated.

[@shirleyflavell5705]

Hi Lisa, a great video, loved it, loved all you projects and the new patterns. I want to knit so much after seeing your projects. Have just finished the Musselburgh hat, finishing Stephen Wests secret sock along , started a Dotted Rays shawl and tryin so hard to discipline myself to not casting on new projects.I like the Douglas Cardy you have been showing us as well and agree we need a baggy cardy in our winter wardrobe.Your striped jumper looks gorgeous.Congrats on your two year anniversary.

[@UnwindandKnitwithMe]

Thank you for supporting my podcast, its very much appreciated. I really need to cast on the Douglas Cardigan it has been sitting here in my basket for too long now. We all need more knitting hours in our day.

[@mywonderfulknittinglife]

Hi Lisa! I am in love with your striped sweater. Gorgeous colours. I have it on my to do list. Really enjoyed this episode and subscribed right away. You are a great presenter. Best wishes from a Canadian knitting podcaster!

[@UnwindandKnitwithMe]

Thank you, I have just subscribed to your podcast so thank you for sharing i will make time to watch it.

[@mywonderfulknittinglife]

🥰

[@cathyamos2269]

I really enjoy your podcast! It's so exciting you will come to Ontario, Canada! I also watch Knits and Pieces and found out about you thru Noelle's travels. Thanks for the links to the tutorials!

[@UnwindandKnitwithMe]

Thank you for supporting my podcast, its very much appreciated. I'm very excited about coming to your beautiful country.

[@sarahguiniven88]

You've inspired me to cast on stripes with Scraps I have. I've had the pattern for ages I purchased in one of Andreas birthday sales.

[@UnwindandKnitwithMe]

Wonderful! it's such a good patterns to use up leftovers. Have fun and I hope you post a photo on our FaceBook community page. I would love to see it.

[@christinevalentine3373]

Congratulations on 2 years podcasting! I love your show, its always a pleasure to see your new knits and the lovely products you stock. My tan project bag is in constant use and it’s really well designed. I’d recommend them to anyone. The moisturiser is also great, although my cat is not a fan of the scent which I love. Your enthusiasm for knitted fabric is so contagious. I’m sitting in bed, looking at your latest episode, and drooling at the new DK (8 ply) from JAT. I did get enough of the KBN organic Falklands Merino to make 3 sweaters at the reduced price. I’m a bit sad that the new KBN fibre will not be organic but I guess it’s a long term financial decision and that’s important for the continuation of the business in the long run. The increased freight costs have really hit a lot of people in unforeseen ways as you can attest to. I am a KZbin subscriber so don’t see ads because I can’t stand the constant interruptions, I’m so glad you are doing this wonderful work and thank you so much.

[@UnwindandKnitwithMe]

Thank you for supporting my podcast, its very much appreciated. I'm excited about the new KBN yarn, but have to say I can't compare it to the previous one as i didn't get any. I'm really hoping it fills a place i have in my shop for a lovely DK that is soft to skin.

[@allisondobbie2375]

Hi Lisa, thanks for another fabulous episode. Your Stripes jumper looks great and I love the colours you have chosen for the Alden jumper, will be beautiful. As for using stash scraps for the Sea grass pattern, I think I have seen that it is also possible to hold scrap fingering yarn double to get the DK gauge, which offers even more marling potential. It is in my queue to knit.

[@UnwindandKnitwithMe]

Thank you for supporting my podcast, its very much appreciated. Thank you for sharing that, i will mention that on my next podcast. It certainly would give lot more options.

[@helenravine5163]

I love that you're knitting swatches in your yarn. I know it's time consuming and breaks into a skein so I always really appreciate it when selelrs and dyers do that, makes choosing so much easier and better informed. I'm just a wee bit jealous about your Canada trip. How wonderful!

[@UnwindandKnitwithMe]

Thank you for supporting my podcast, its very much appreciated. And I agree swatches do make choosing colour a bit easies, especially when you can feel and squish them.

[@mariehansen2534]

Gosh, that was a very busy podcast, you have been very busy knitting etc. Everything that you have in your show notes is very practical and exciting. I was thinking about the tea cosy, I know that my Grandmother would have loved this and she would have said that her clever Granddaughter made it for her, so its special. I have only Colour work once before and it worked out. I think though that you could sell ice to Eskimos because you have so much confidence. I am knitting my second top down sweater and the first one I ripped and reknit it 5 times but finally it worked. Its the TinCanknits The Simple Sweater but it is all new to me. I have ripped this one 3 times but I hope now that I have got it and I am writing it down as I go, I haven't remembered to do that before. Anyhow I had better let you go and get on. I love the light bulb stitch markers and the beautiful colours. I think its funny that I was wondering if you had done a pocast and was looking today to see if it had arrived. I think that there are 2 podcasts that I don't sleep through, yours is one of them. Catch up next time, take care.

[@UnwindandKnitwithMe]

Thank you for sharing your story, ripping out and starting again is part of the knitting journey. I'm so happy that you are sticking with it and challenging yourself as it get easier every time you start a new project.

[@donnapreston767]

I love your podcast which I learned about from Kelly and Noelles show. It’s so nice to hear a voice from over this side of the world (I’m in Australia) and when you showed your yarn my little ballerina I just had to have it and ordered while watching the show. Love your work ❤

[@UnwindandKnitwithMe]

Thank you for supporting my podcast, its very much appreciated. Your yarn is on its way. I can't wait to see what you make with it. Hope you share it on our FaceBook group.

[@susanchanyi3206]

Leaving this after your podcast. You are coming to Canada where I live and I am coming to NewZealand to Palmerston North. We are going to Christchurch too. I love your podcast and hope to find your shop

[@UnwindandKnitwithMe]

Sounds great! please make contact when you are going to be in Christchurch, I would love to meet you.

[@karenjennings6125]

Congratulations on 2 year podcast. It was a really enjoyable video as always. Could explain about knitting companion. I’ve never heard of it. Thanks

[@UnwindandKnitwithMe]

Thank you for supporting my podcast, its very much appreciated. I will talk about knit companion on my next podcast, but in the meantime you can download the free app onto your device. On KZbin, Very Pink Knits do some really good tutorial on how to use it. She does her tutorial for both Android or Apple. Hope this is helpful.

[@karenjennings6125]

@@UnwindandKnitwithMe that’s great thank you. Looking forward to your next podcast.

[@sharons5723]

Really enjoyed your episode today. I came away with the inspiration to begin several new projects. I always enjoy the knitting tips and patterns you share, and I'd like to say how much I appreciate that you don't run ads during the middle of your videos. It's so annoying on other podcasts to have to put down my knitting every few minutes to click "skip ads".

[@UnwindandKnitwithMe]

Thank you for supporting my podcast, its very much appreciated.

[@broomstitchnz]

Congratulations Lisa on reaching 2 years! And so envious of your trip to Knit City - it's on my bucket list so I can't wait to hear all about your trip!

[@UnwindandKnitwithMe]

Thank you so much!

[@ruthmcniff4765]

Your stripes sweater looks lovely! I’m currently knitting Wanderling in Yarnadelic. It is so soft!!! I’m taking part in The Woolly Thistle Sweater KAL.

[@UnwindandKnitwithMe]

I have just added it to my favourites, I love it, thank you for sharing and for supporting my podcast, very much appreciated.

[@alisonsmith376]

Love the chit chat, Lisa, always fun and interesting. 😊

[@UnwindandKnitwithMe]

Thank you for supporting my podcast, its very much appreciated.

[@JanHowe-ll3zr]

Oops sorry I meant Kelly and Noelle, not Narelle. Love those two. Cheers.

[@UnwindandKnitwithMe]

I knew what you meant.

[@anne-mareehern]

Thank you Lisa, for another enjoyable. Love your Stripes Jumper, a lovely colour combo that suit you very much. Feeling excited about being a winner, great encouragement for my beginner knitter journey.

[@UnwindandKnitwithMe]

Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy your gift.

[@alexisbriggs284]

Lisa, Hello from Ohio! I really enjoy your podcast. You give good insight on patterns you have made and ones you plan to make. I hope you have a lovely spring and knit on!

[@UnwindandKnitwithMe]

Thank you for supporting my podcast, its very much appreciated.

[@deekay1641]

Congratulations on your 2 year anniversary. It's been so inspirational and informative spending time with you.

[@UnwindandKnitwithMe]

Thank you so much!

[@kimbryan2014]

Wonderful to hear about your trip to Canada .... enjoy....turned last yrs. Steven West shawl into a stole as there were some elements I did not like and he says you do you and yes will be doing this yrs kal

[@UnwindandKnitwithMe]

Fabulous, I think a lot of people made changes. Im sure this year will be as exciting as previous years.

[@lisaml7411]

I enjoy my crafting time with your podcast. You have a calmness that suits me well. I also like to see your knitting and planning for future knits. It’s inspiring…😊

[@UnwindandKnitwithMe]

Thank you for sharing your crafting time with me.

[@zandragotteberg1007]

Your new Stripes jersey fits beautifully and looks lovely with white. As always interesting to watch your pattern choices.

[@UnwindandKnitwithMe]

Thank you so much!

[@faithlinkministries]

congratulations on reaching your 2 years - I am knitting the Wildhorse shawl colllar cardigan in by Jessica McDonald and enjoying your podcast while the boys watch their footy in the lounge.💕

[@UnwindandKnitwithMe]

Thank you, and what a lovely pattern, i have just added it to my favorites.

[@sharonburr9880]

I really don’t understand the DK issue Lisa . I live in Brisbane . I don’t particularly feel the cold ,and I’m 65 so it’s not because I’m younger etc. I wear DK sweaters in winter all the time. And I also always wear something underneath. I can’t wear wool next to skin virtually at all . Even the yarnadelic I bought from you will need a light shirt or top underneath , I have super sensitive skin. But I don’t find DK weight particularly hot at all. I think 4 ply being knitted at a smaller denser gauge is warmer really . I was going to do alpine bloom in yarnadelic, but changed my mind as I’d need something under it. I can’t wait to find a pattern for it for next autumn winter though. It’s so pretty .

[@UnwindandKnitwithMe]

Hi Sharon, i have done a bit of research and think the difference between woolen spun and worsted spun can be the difference between garments being warmer or cooler, i have touched on this subject briefly on my latest podcast, hope you find it interesting. I really hope you find a project for your Yarnadelic, it really is a beautiful yarn. My latest podcast should be live Thursday evening. Thank you for supporting my podcast and store.

[@karenkingsbury2331]

As always a great podcast! Full of tips and tricks. Super exciting going to Knit City in Toronto. Wow!!!!

[@UnwindandKnitwithMe]

Thank you, it's a very exciting time planning a trip.

[@sandracroley9784]

Hello from Canada 🇨🇦 😊. Now I'm curious as to which Ultra your husband will be running 🏃‍♂️. My favourite trail race is the Sulphur Springs 10k held every May...so beautiful. At the same time there are runners doing very long distances. I'm really looking forward to trying that provisional cast-on ❤

[@UnwindandKnitwithMe]

Hi there, yes it is the Sulphur Springs, he is doing the 100 mile run, all going well, let's hope he can stay injury free and he gets the training done before we arrive.

[@sandracroley9784]

@UnwindandKnitwithMe ooh, I'll be sure to register, and hopefully say hello to you! It is a beautiful spot...my favourite race, for sure. Lol, I only do the 10k race, though.

[@robynrunge1629]

Hi Lisa, I have enjoyed your podcast today. You were talking about being warmer or cooler in different plys of yarn (4 ply/8 ply) I think the same thing, could that be the difference between 'Woollen spun' and 'Worsted spun'?? I love the cozyness of my J&S (2 ply jumper weight) jumper and I feel it's as warm as my DK merino ones. Just a thought! 🤔🤷. Cheers

[@UnwindandKnitwithMe]

You are probably correct, I'm not very experienced on the subject of woolen spun and worsted spun but i'm going to do some homework on the subject.Thank you for supporting my podcast, its very much appreciated.

[@debbiewilliams819]

So pleased to have found an NZ knitting podcast! Congratulations on 2 years 🎉 As a new knitter, I have a question about your gauge swatches with the eyelets, which seem to indicate the needle size you used? How do you do these for the in-between sizes (e.g. 3.5, 3.75)? Thanks 😊

[@UnwindandKnitwithMe]

Hi Debbie I use the US needle size to indicate the needle size. So a 3.5mm needle is a US4 a 3.75mm needle is a US5 Hope this is helpful.

[@UnwindandKnitwithMe]

I have ChiaoGoo gauge rulers on my website that have the conversion on it. If you don’t have a gauge ruler and we’re interested in getting one.

[@lois-marietodd1502]

Try the Sweig by Caitlin Hunter 1281 meters

[@UnwindandKnitwithMe]

Yes, i did look at that one. Thank you.

[@Anji2866]

I would love to finish your Marie Wallin sweater for you. But I do not know the shipping to and from India would make it very expensive.

[@UnwindandKnitwithMe]

Thank you that is very kind of you. The shipping would cost me over $100. NZ dollars so that is a bit excessive. I just need to get me colour knitting mojo back.

[@Anji2866]

Lisa I’m sure you will do it eventually. Some people have found that 30 minutes a day has helped them finish such projects. Maybe just 15 minutes might be your magic number.

[@lois-marietodd1502]

On Android phone you can see the show notes below the title where it says 'more'

[@UnwindandKnitwithMe]

Thank you for sharing.

[@sandybedggood7485]

How do I join your ravelry group please. It doesn’t come up when I key in that name.

[@UnwindandKnitwithMe]

lisanzknitter is just my personal ravelry page. I have a group called "unwind and knit with me" but i have not done much with the group page so far.

[@lois-marietodd1502]

Might be the linen component of the prosper yarn you are not liking

[@UnwindandKnitwithMe]

Yes I think your right.
