Today I've wandered the streets of Paris with Clara Parkes, heard all about Newfoundland with Andrea and Madeline and now meandered the streets of Mexico City with Selma. Knitting has brought the world into my home. Places I may never have seen otherwise. Thank you, Selma! I always enjoy your podcasts and the walks you take us on, not to mention the knitting inspiration.

I love your vest. Everyone should own a bright pink sweater

[@littlebigknits]

I agree!!

[@yzamorategui]

Selma! Aquí estoy viendo tu episodio con mucho interés, como siempre excelente. Soy la mexicana que vive en Budapest y te contactó. Que linda que lo comentaste, no sabes qué emoción me ha dado. Sobre todo saber que te ha gustado tanto la Ciudad de México espero que regreses y conozcas mas lugares. 🥰 Saludos.

[@littlebigknits]

Hola Yazmin!! Hay una posibilidad que vuelva en febrero!! 🤞🤞

[@yzamorategui]

[@marydeloria8352]

Selma! Love your cup - it is very Oaxacan! I live in Oaxaca for five months out of the year & see these all over here. Good choice!

[@littlebigknits]

I will have to join you!! I’ve been thinks about spending time there in the future. Where do you go?

[@marydeloria8352]

@@littlebigknits Oaxaca City, in southern Mexico. It's up in the mountains and is a lively place full of culture, craft, and good food.

[@chrissy24-7]

Quite enjoyed the podcast and Yoda is so pretty 😍 I'm glad she joined for a bit! I'm impressed with the vest from petite knit, usually not ta fan of white stuff but it's very elegant. 😊 I enjoyed the Mexico interlude immensely! 🎶 💕

[@littlebigknits]

She rarely shows up these days!! She has grown wise!!

[@sharonjordan2049]

I was recently in Mexico and had my Chiagoo needle tips taken from me on the way home in Cancun. I wish I would've seen this podcast before going on my trip.

[@littlebigknits]

Oh I’m sorry to hear that.

[@sharonjordan2049]

It was a bummer! I had to buy a book to read instead 😂

[@gayleouthwaite5741]

Thanks for the trip down memory lane. We spent two days in Mexico City a few years ago before continuing on to San Miguel de Allende. We also loved the city. By the way Leanne flies with Westjet I believe. If you don't podcast before Christmas have a nice one.

[@fjellrosastrikkepodcast]

Thank you for your lovly inspirational podcast 😍🌹love from Gurli in Norway 🇳🇴🌹

[@sandybassett4901]

Hi Selma, I so enjoyed your episode and hearing all about your travels. I so enjoyed all the sights of Mexico and the music. And it’s totally understandable if why you don’t do a Vlogmas. As you can see, I am still working on getting up to date with your regular episodes. ❤ StitchedbyMimi

[@littlebigknits]

Glad you enjoyed it!!

[@carolinvonfritsch5312]

Thank you Selma!

[@dorothyfrank3059]

I love my Stockholm Vest Selma - it is a great wardrobe staple!

[@Lisamakes]

The slip over is lovely, Selma!

[@gaynormackintosh2536]

Such colour and vibrancy! We could all do with a little Mexico City at this time of year. Thank you for such a lovely podcast 😊

[@ingridspinknitlove1192]

Your leg warmers are fantastic! I’m definitely making a pair. I wear dresses and tights with a bit of a walk from my train to the office in Chicago! Such a practical item! ❤

[@nonnasstitchingloungewithr7281]

I love the colour of your new Ranunculus. You've inspired me to make a new one in red as well. You video of Mexico City is beautiful and you always have the best music. Have a great holiday season!

[@wendybradley8420]

Another great podcast Selma thanks again

[@AMG-qn6jx]

Vest lovely, I knitted her v neck and really like her attention to detail and simplicity for a classy Finnish. Love the pink and red knits.

[@marybeneteau6009]

Fabulous episode Selma, truly enjoyed the footage from Mexico City I see why you want to return. Love your vest, perhaps one will be cast on soon. Many thanks.

[@littlebigknits]

Thank you!!

[@vmartel2008]

Once again, I really enjoyed your Mexico footage: architecture, vegetation, supermarket, music, arts. Thank you 😊

[@littlebigknits]

Glad you enjoyed it 😊😊

[@karynzlatkis]

Lovely episode ❤. Thank you for the footage of Mexico City 🥰 I lived in Lomas de Chapultepec (close to Polanco) for 14 years and I surely miss it! I live in Spain now, and I always tell my friends they should go visit instead of Cancun 😁

[@littlebigknits]

Totally agree. Being in cancun is like a weird almost fake Mexico!! It’s so geared towards tourists.

[@crochetingknitter4751]

Great podcast! I really enjoyed your Mexico footage. I’ve been to many areas in Mexico (close by in California), in central Mexico, Guanajuato and San Miguel Allende and many coastal towns. Never been to DF but have heard many good things. The music you picked just enhanced the footage. Gracias!

[@leslienero7884]

Great music with the footage from Mexico city and so nice to see Yoda! Definitely a beautiful cat. I enjoy hearing about all of your future knitting plans and seeing your projects. Very inspiring!

[@patsycoats4061]

Pink Lemonade by Leading Men Fiber Rts is a pretty bright pink.

[@alisoncaronflyingfree]

I adore your vest and you wear it well. Oh my gosh, I love the dancing that you captured on video. How romantic. Thank you so very very much for the Mexican tour. I had no idea it could be like that.

[@littlebigknits]

You are very welcome! So glad you enjoyed it!

[@marlasivak5978]

Love your leg warmers. I've made a pair for my daughter who sits and watches my grandson play hockey several times a week. I used a free pattern, Spiral Legwarmers by Kristen Renneker. They are beautiful and worn often. I used MadTosh yarn. Thanks again for your time putting the podcast together!

Ahhhhh. Pink sweater!! Yes.

This podcast is a real treat on early Sunday morning here in the Netherlands! I always get inspired by your projects. So in love with your red Ranunculus!

[@blou5598]

I really like the Stockholm Slipover and now I am smitten with the Adelita vest. Love that red you working with for the Ranunculus sweater! And the images of Mexico City were wonderful. I particularly enjoyed the song La Paloma Linda. Thank your for all your sharing.

Thank you, Selma ! Your Red Ranunculus is devine ! Perfect color for you. Yoda..... Fabulous ! Never have visited Mexico City - lovely teaser !!!! SO enjoy your visits ! marcia

[@kasiamichalec2305]

Your vest turned out great. It is funny bc one of the reasons I hesitated to Cast On Stockholm Slipover was the somehow v-neck shaped neckline. So I created my own pattern, knitted bottom up, as it is easier to get shaping right for occasional, personal designs. I have enjoyed seeing Mexico City, very interesting mix of architecture and rich culture.

[@renamessenger6397]

Thank you for a wonderful podcast. Love to sit and knit while listening to you. Enjoy this holiday season

[@thizizliz]

I love the contrast between old & new in the city! Beautiful.

[@jenniferbarrett3272]

Your vest looks lovely! And that new pink knit with bulky mohair- sigh! The videos of Mexico City brought back floods of memories from back in 1993-4 when we stayed in a very similar cottage hotel across from the zocollo with a lovely roof top restaurant on the fourth floor (may pie the same hotel). There was a demonstration with 20,000 peasants marching by our hotel and a sound system on the zocollo that could be envied by rock bands. All night there were shouts of viva Zapata! We closed the shutters to dull the noise a bit for sleeping. In the morning when we opened the shutters the pollution from the traffic burst in like breathing right from the exhaust pipe of a million cars. Such a beautiful and authentic Mexican city. I could go back again and again. We were also advised to stay close to the hotel at night or to take reputable taxis for transit. Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@littlebigknits]

That is a memorable moment indeed!! I didn’t realize the pollution was that bad until someone else complained about their lungs and the I could tell that my nose and lungs were a little unhappy… still an amazing city!

[@jenniferbarrett3272]

@@littlebigknits I think. Mexico City is the 2nd or 3rd most polluted city in the world. Still a great place to visit, just not if your lungs are compromised.

[@littlebigknits]

@@jenniferbarrett3272 I think o didn’t quite imagine what the effects could be.

[@juliedrakeArtist]

Hi Selma, in Britain we say pukka (pronounced puckah) to mean something which is real and good or genuine. I think the word comes from India, maybe Hindi. Pukka is a British company. Also Twinings is a British company which was started by the Twinings (pronounced Twine ings) family in the seventeenth century! I love my tea too especially Earl Grey and Lapsang Souchong 🥰

[@cbs70]

Lapsang S is very, very good. VERY hard to find in the US.

Beautiful Mexico. Have you ever made Love Note by Tin Can Knits? It’s one I’d love to do double stranded with mohair. So many lovely versions out there🌸💫💝

[@littlebigknits]

I have not actually. The very open lace has put me off but I have seen some lovely versions!

[@marthaellensmith7913]

Thank you so much Selma for your podcasts (which I have watched since before you had your own podcast). I watch for your videos every 3 wks -month. This time I am particularly grateful for your shots of Mexico City. I have long wanted to visit Mexico, but never will now (in this lifetime). I am particularly thankful for the many architectural shots since it (and botanical gardens) are things which particularly speak to me. Living in easy reach of Washington D.C., architecture is particularly important to me - or at least I notice it a lot. Thank you so much. Also, you almost have me interested in knitting the ranunculas - I have lonngg resisted. I love the blue-green socks as well.

[@littlebigknits]

I’m glad you enjoyed it!!

[@leeanutson1026]

Hei hei - I tested the Puffed Polo. The collar is attached. Mine turned out to be more of a turtle neck. I used Sonder 4 ply and it turned out to be fabulous. The construction is really interesting as well. 🇨🇦🇫🇮
