Episode #59 Knitting Podcast : Thanks so so much. Knitters are just the best xxx

[@janice4892]

Ruth… Your podcasts are never too long and always a blessing! ❤

[@brendajohnson5525]

I love your Ruth Shawl pattern and you are as usual a delight. Thanks for brightening up my day. ❤

[@karaoverman7818]

It's much too warm for knit wear, except indoors. Dr offices, coffee shops, and such always have the AC so high I often need a shawl. Yesterday I wished I had a throw as I was waiting to find out I still need the brace my arm. The bone is healing so very slowly. I love seeing all of the new things. Stay blessed.

[@eileencook6107]

Your devotional was lovely and I love your enthusiasm with your projects. I told my husband this morning that my most prayed prayer to the Lord is: "Create in me a clean heart, and renew a right spirit within me." I am incredibly thankful for God's redemption work in my and others lives. Thank you!

[@denisewells6856]

Another lovely podcast! I always enjoy you and your sharing is so inspirational. It's fun to see what you're knitting or being gifted or purchases you make. I truly love the Christian message at the end. Its like you are sitting across from me and we are talking a mile a minute to get done before our time together runs out! Thank you so much.

[@catherinetuwi6267]

Oooh, the Ruth shawl looks fantastic. (Adding to my queue). 🧶💖🧶💖

[@janicemcculloch654]

Thanks for another great podcast Ruth, loved seeing your acquisitions 😉

[@heatherharrison4855]

Hi Ruth. As you say sometimes life gets in the way so I've only got round to watching you now. Always a blessing. So pleased at the success of the Ruth shawl. Love all the colours you have purchased for all the shawls😂 I also bought the yarn from wool warehouse. Enough for some socks and a sweater. Thank you again for an enjoyable hour of yarn and chat and your message. See you on the next one. God Bless 🥰

[@heathertucker7056]

Thank you Ruth. I’m always happy to spend an hour with you seeing your beautiful knitting and all that lovely wool. I’m happy you were able to go to the Mill Weekend. I would love to go one year but way to far from me I’m afraid. Blessings to you and your family.

[@susiewhite9154]

Thank you Ruth for another fun and inspiring podcast. I’m hoping to join in on the ‘Ruth Shawl’ KAL. As someone else said, ‘I love all parts of your podcast’. Big Daddy Weave held a concert near my location, in a smaller venue.I was so blessed to hear him in person. God is so good. ✝️🩷🧶

[@LindaJuneDisley]

Another enjoyable podcast Ruth. What an amazing amount raised for Lamb, the Ruth shawl is on my to do list hopefully in July. I treated myself to a redesigned bag with money I didn’t spend while on holiday. Thanks for your words from God. May you have a blessed week ❤❤❤

[@patmorgan8692]

It's always great to spend some time with you. It's so heart warming to see all of the proceeds going to Lamb Hospital and your shawl is looking great. Love your yarn from John Arbon and your new project bag is a beauty. Thanks for always sharing your lovely messages with us!

[@Puella63]

E crescida está a Sofia!

Big Daddy Weave has always been one of my favs. Enjoyed seeing your acquisitions. I will be casting on The Ruth (shawl) soon I hope. Thank you for sharing the beautiful Truth of Gods word.

[@brendabrayfield4214]

Hi Ruth - Thank you so much for the shout-out to everyone who purchased the Antrim Shawl pattern. I appreciate them, I appreciate you! I enjoy your podcasts so much, I have gone back and started on Episode 1! That was during Covid - very different times. I am now on Episode 5. Your Stephen West shawls are gorgeous!!

[@ruthlovestoknitpodcast]

My goodness. Glutton for punishmen!!

[@frankiecoletteobrien1205]

I love that song! Redeemed!!

Another great podcast Ruth….love everything in it, and thank you for sharing your crafty and spiritual life with us….x x x 🥰

[@conniekuykendall5085]

Beautiful message, Ruth...thank you. I know you will encourage all who listen. I'm looking forward to finding yarn for the lovely Ruth Shawl. too. What a wonderful thing for Jo and Rachel to do. Their kindness and generosity is a gift.

[@ruthlovestoknitpodcast]

They are the best x

[@lorainelockwood9359]

Such a lot of loveliness Ruth. You're a breath of fresh air x

[@cynthiawilliams1375]

Haven’t started watching yet, but grabbing my coffee and knitting and heading out to the deck to watch before work. ❤

[@FrannyDoMakes]

What a joy to see you again Ruth, always a pleasure. The John Arbon day looked fab! X

[@paulamacdonald3222]

Thank you Ruth. ❤

[@celineocallaghan6915]

So enjoyable as always Ruth, love your knits. I love seeing what you have acquired, gorgeous yarn and that bag 🥰 Your message at the end is so inspiring, love it. Thankyou xx

[@Orcadianknitter]

Always love to watch a podcast from you Ruth. I am so pleased to hear you say that Hannah is OK, I miss her podcasts and hope she is enjoying the break

[@loispatrick2594]

I agree Ruth. I love seeing everyone enjoy every part of their craft..... and that includes any purchases or gifts that come their way! 💜

[@fionaskolsky560]

So pleased re your new bag. I’ve order from Botanical Yarn coming September. Birthday present ! Can’t wait

[@mariloknitting]

Thank you Ruth, it is always a blessing spending an hour with you

[@margaretrodee3519]

Your podcast is great. Wonderful makes! Wow! Love your new yarn stash! But I always look so forward to your message at the end. We are good enough, through our Redeemer’s love and gift to us. I am a happy believer. Thank you!

[@alecsgirl]

“DPNs, Devil’s Sticks” made me laugh right out loud 😂 When I first learned to knit, I learned to knit socks on DPNs. Now they annoy me, but at the time, I found it so magical. Thank you for another delightful catch-up

[@pamelageoghegan8859]

Thanks for your podcast and your message, Ruth. I listen to Sinclair Ferguson's daily (every week-day) approx 5 minute podcasts entitled "Things Unseen" (Ligonier). Today he was also talking about being redeemed and the fact that we are redeemed only through Christ's blood and united to Him. I would really recommend Sinclair's podcasts. He has the knack of fitting so much into that 5 minutes. God bless. x

[@bethsaylor5325]

Redeemed is a beautiful song that we also sing in our church. Great message, Ruth.

[@debbiestuckey6599]

Amen ❤ I love your Ruth shawl! It is lovely!! I love the yellow socks you knit. Everything is beautiful!... As are you! 💞💞💞 Take care and have a great week.

[@shore.knitter]

Thanks so much, Ruth. Your podcasts are full of joy, and watching them, everything, the FOs, the WIPs, the new yarns, the messages at the end, it's all such a joy.

[@eileeno7505]

Thank you Ruth , i love your podcast and especially your message at the end. God bless.

[@katheard262]

Ruth, I’ve recently shared your podcast with a friend. I did so because you have such a lovely spirit, share the Gospel, and encourage charity. You are wonderful !❤❤

[@ruthlovestoknitpodcast]

Thank you x

[@jennenns654]

Hi Ruth. Thanks for the visit today. I got to make and enjoy a second coffee today. Take care.

[@wendyknopp1252]

I truly enjoy your podcast. Such beautiful projects, those socks are amazing, and those shawl patterns are so nice! Thank you for sharing about redemption today. I'm thankful I've been redeemed by Jesus!

[@vintagelizzy58kim23]

Hi Ruth it was lovely to see you on Saturday 🥰🧶 happy knitting Kim xx

[@wendymorris]

Lovely to see you and spend some time with you again. Thank you for another great podcast episode 🧶

[@julieforseen1738]

I love that song!! We are redeemed 🎉

[@rosinagreenwell1143]

It’s always a pleasure to see your podcasts. I think I’ve only been watching for a few months but I just feel like I’m hearing from a friend. I bought the Ruth Shawl pattern during your launch video and I will be making one soon. It’s great to support worthy charities and podcasters. Think I might just have to buy a copy for my knitty friend too.

[@ruthlovestoknitpodcast]

Thank you x

[@QueenAnneKnitsandSews]

We are redeemed! Glory to God! Your scripture lessons are always perfectly timed 💜

[@josemuylaert3466]

Those yellow socks ! They are so lovely... And a Ruthshawlkal ! I am really excited about it. Haven't bought the pattern yet, but I sure will, before July 1st. Now to choose colours.. I am curious to see what the boucle yarn will end up being, I've never knit with such yarn, but it looks gorgeous. Thank you for another lovely episode, and your nice words at the end.

[@cathypalmer1365]

I enjoyed your video Ruth! Thank you for sharing God’s word and all your knitting projects.

[@alisonf7113]

God bless Ruth ❤xx

[@christinewoolley7192]

Another lovely podcast, Ruth, and thank you for showing the Prym Sock Ruler. I have a bulky wooden one which is far too large for my project bag so I've ordered this immediately 😀

[@gabriellejacobs1192]

Haha! I've ordered the sock rulers, too! One for me and one for my sister!

[@camderden2879]

Just a note about the Ruth Shawl pattern; I used to work with students with disabilities. One of the main issues we faced was the contrast between the font and the background in written materials. The pattern instructions, as you know, are written with yellow on a white background. This combination is very hard to read. There is actually software available for people to check the contrast level of written material for readability. Just wanted to share that with you and maybe you could pass it on to the pattern designer. Thank you.

[@ruthlovestoknitpodcast]

I will definitely pass on this message.

[@joannaherriott2677]

Hi, Ruth shared your message with me. Thank you for letting me know about this. I’m going to do some research. I hope you enjoy making the Ruth Shawl.

[@camderden2879]

@@joannaherriott2677 Thank you for responding so graciously. Some people tend to be offended, but I know how frustrating it is to try to read items with low contrast. Thank you so much for helping Ruth with her ministry. My husband and I were missionaries for 5 years in Nepal. We are back in the states, but left part of our hearts in Nepal.

[@LindaNixon-ws4ge]

Always look forward to your podcasts

[@countingsheepatsunrisehill9019]

So nice to watch your podcast Ruth…and I couldn’t resist buying the Ruth shawl pattern as that is my name as well. I have some skeins of yarn from stash that I’ll be using and I’m looking forward to your KAL!

[@ruthlovestoknitpodcast]

Thank you x

[@lucilesenseney5556]

Thanks!!!

[@anner651]

I got one of those bags too! They are amazing.

[@kimbarone7409]

Beautiful message today, Ruth thank you so much. I look forward to them. I’m so glad you’re doing a Ruth shawl knit along. I really was hoping you would have one now to go find my yarn from my stash which just like you I have plenty. I’m so glad that you mentioned Hannah. I was actually thinking about her this morning and realizing that I haven’t seen her do a podcast in a while. I was actually going to write you and ask you if she was OK? Tell her we miss her. Thanks again.

[@ruthlovestoknitpodcast]

I will x

[@TartantazCreates]

Funny you should mention that it is so cold for June, I am in Scotland and I was just saying yesterday that I have not stopped wearing my warm pjs to bed and wearing bed socks until it warms up under my covers (I don't use a heated blanket) Oh Thanks for enabling me to buy more sock yarn when you mentioned the merino sock wool being on sale I bought 4 balls of different colours, not that I needed that much of a push to be fair lol T x

[@ruthlovestoknitpodcast]

Happy to help 🤣🤣

[@jolancowan535]

Great to spend time with you again Ruth. Love everything about your podcast. The Ruth MAL is going to be the first MAL/KAL I've ever done. A little nervous about joining in but it's too gorgeous not to.

[@ruthlovestoknitpodcast]

Don't be nervous. It is just for fun x

[@jolancowan535]

@@ruthlovestoknitpodcast thank you for the encouragement. Sadly there is no suitable yarn in my stash so I'm going to have to go yarn shopping 😁🧶🧶🤭🧶🧶🤣🧶🧶

First time for me, too!

[@sandybeach516]

Thank you for this video. I was especially blessed by your thoughts on the scriptures. God is so good.

All the time x

[@tinafletcher1145]

Good evening you lovely lady, I work as a volunteer in a cancer charity shop.

[@sandracroley9784]

I think John Arbon yarns are my favourite yarns. There are a few of them I can get here in Canada, but I have ordered direct, also, and they always send such a sweet note. I've recently purchased almost every colour of the Yarnadelic....and the pattern I was going to knit is just not going to work out 😔....I'm not in a hurry, but I'll definitely keep my eye out for a new, different pattern 😊

[@ppstocks]

Hi Ruth, do you use your 9 inch circulars for your whole sock? Heel, gusset and toes? I love to knit my socks on 9 inch but I switch to dpn's for the heel, gusset and toes Could you give a little explanation how you knit the whole sock with them? Love your podcast :)

[@ruthlovestoknitpodcast]

Yes all on 9" till the toe decreases then I use DPNs like straight needles. So one for front stitches then one for back. Easy x

[@berylwalker79]

It was lovely to meet Rhys/Rees. He even asked me what I was knitting. 😁. Have you taught him yet? 🤔🤣🌻

[@ruthlovestoknitpodcast]

Ryan 🤣. No knitting lessons but bless him he asked about my knitting too.

[@LindaNixon-ws4ge]

Mrs. is always right. Very smart Mr.

Thank you Ruth . Appreciate that x

[@sheilamccart7553]

DPN’s are the best 😂😂

[@ruthlovestoknitpodcast]

Nooooo!!

[@babcilise2546]

I feel so peaceful as I listen to your podcast. Would you consider selling some of your socks to donate to your charities.. just a thought. Thank you for the blessing today.

[@ruthlovestoknitpodcast]

Hadnt thought of that x

[@patsycoats4061]

We’re having a heatwave here in Alabama, USA.

[@ruthlovestoknitpodcast]

Warmed up here but just nice. No heatwave please.

[@lucilesenseney5556]

Thanks.

[@suzanrudulph4141]

[@MsPoodlelove]

Re the Prym sock measure. Do you use this instead of laboriously keeping a strict row count? Now I’m knitting on 9” circulars I soon finish a row then have to remember to click my row counter which interrupts my knitting flow. Thanks Ruth. 😀

[@ruthlovestoknitpodcast]

Yes. I always measure the leg and foot with the ruler.

[@Joellencox]

Just wondering where you got the Madam Curry fob……perhaps that can be sold and all proceeds go to your donation….i would love one for my sock bag! Also the foot ruler could be sold through you as on your your You Tube and proceeds you make buy being a seller could go to madam curry…..just a thought!

[@ruthlovestoknitpodcast]

The Marie Curie fob can be bought in Superdrug shops in the UK for a donation of £1. The rulers are from ebay. I wouldnt feel comfortable selling things.

[@kimbarone7409]

What are the hashtags for the Ruth Shaw for Instagram? I couldn’t find it in any of the show notes thank you Ruth. I just selected my colors. I can’t wait to get started. I’m making it with botanical Yarn.

[@ruthlovestoknitpodcast]

#ruthshawlkal

[@lucilesenseney5556]

Do the socks for your charity have to be a solid yellow or just have yellow in them?

[@ruthlovestoknitpodcast]

Any yellow is fine I think. I have cast on a stripey pair.

[@christinewoolley7192]

I looked at Dr Holmes’ own socks on Ravelry and she’s used all sorts of colours over the years. That said, I always try to use at least a bit of yellow in mine!

[@brendabrayfield4214]

Hi Ruth, I am now on Episode 50! Nearly caught up. After 50 episodes you repeatedly say something that has confused me. "If this is your first time here, welcome. If you are an OG, welcome back." I sat there puzzled, what is an OG? Surely she isn't calling us old goats. I finally googled it - Original Gangster. Now I know.

[@ruthlovestoknitpodcast]

I always thought it was short for original or originator like watched from the beginning but now I wonder if maybe I have got it wrong.

[@brendabrayfield4214]

Yes, that is the implication Ruth. So keep on using it. But it is the abbreviations are original gangster. @@ruthlovestoknitpodcast
