More Yoda! She looks exactly like my Jasper, who we adored and who passed two years ago. Still in mourning. Yoda cheers me up. 🐈

[@lizt250]

O my goodness - Rachels Music for Egon Schiele! So beautiful. Lovely knits and quilt!

[@deborah8253]

I’ve enjoyed your podcasts for the past 7 years! I think you should leave the striped top at the length it is

[@juliedeschatelets6458]

Merci pour 7 ans de partage et d’inspiration… 🌸

[@kathykups7962]

Enjoyed years of watching even when you were with sue and lynn❤❤❤❤

[@lindas.patton7552]

I wishI had watched you for all 7 years, but I have been here for at least 2 or 3. I always enjoy your podcasts.

[@jeanruppe6286]

Great Job Knitting. I so enjoyed seeing your finished Everyday Tee. I am planning on knitting,

[@cecilehoare3053]

If you have an A frame drying rack you could put it in the pool and slide the rug up and over it and let it drip into the pool for the first while then when it's less heavy move it to another place to dry. You are my longest knitting channel that I've watched and have learned so much from! Thank you for your sharing of everything knitting and crafting! Here's to another 7 years!

[@chantalb9581]

Congratulations on your 7 year podiversary! Thank you for your contributions to the knitting community and all the knitting inspiration, so happy to have found the wonderful community you created.

I love your podcast as usual. what would I like to see more: knitted garments :))

[@henrietta4240]

I enjoy your knitting podcast because you are knitting patterns that other podcasters are not knitting! I appreciate that you knit older patterns and are not always knitting the most recent popular patterns. Thank you for sharing and giving me inspiration.

[@shamszakhour6076]

I agree! I like learning about older patterns.

[@Tricia123B]

Congrats on 7 years! Ooo that Teal blue prize yarn is beautiful

[@elinarlowry7897]

I like your new camera effect. I find the focusing of items you hold up clearer even though it takes a second for the camera. Congratulations on your 7 year anniversary. Your Everyday Attitude sweater is lovely and suites you so well.

[@patricialoux5193]

I’ve found you to be a favorite knitting podcaster for a lot of years now Selma! Why? I think because I find your pattern choices to be very interesting and lovely. You share inspiration and ideas that are usable and you are fun to knit along with. Congratulations on seven great years!

[@jessicaolney4900]

Congratulations on 7 years! I have been watching for the past few years after I found you via another podcast recommendation and I look forward to every new episode (in addition to going back to those I missed previously). You create such an inviting space that it truly is like we are there with you having a chat. I always appreciate your candor about patterns and yarns and your project outcomes. The extra scenes you include are also very enjoyable. Thanks for inviting us and taking the time.

[@cathyjencks5107]

I always find inspiration watching your podcast. You have such a classic style and your color sense is beautiful. Congratulations on 7 years!

[@pamroebuck4764]

A fab 7 yrs Selma. I've been with you from the UK for 3 years now and love seeing your pattern and yarn choices. I've made your Westboro hat 4 times now for gifts and myself. Great pattern. Enjoy seeing your sewing projects too 😊

[@Drwaldron7]

Congratulations on 7 years of podcasting! I enjoy seeing and hearing about all of your projects!

[@kimsechrest2202]

I never miss an episode and have been watching for many years now. I like that you knit/make things that I would knit so it gives me inspiration and I'm always learning of new yarns & patterns I want to try. Thanks for sharing your knitting life with all of us. You are so inspiring....in many ways.

[@lilianarose8275]

I enjoy seeing you wear all your lovely knit tops. Hearing the details about yarn choice and specific patterns also helps provide inspiration and guidance. Congrats on 7 years!

[@margaretblank9351]

Congratulations on 7 years "on the air"! I think you were the first *Canadian* podcaster I discovered in any of the crafts I enjoy (knitting, quilting, cross-stitch, spinning, art rug hooking). I admire your love of sweaters and socks (you got me back to knitting sweaters) and enjoy your assorted vlogs. Also growing up in SW Quebec, studying at McGill and living in Montreal for 7 years, and travelling often to Ottawa (ran a marathon there once...in 1981) to visit family and friends, watching your podcasts often takes me home. (I've been out here in Alberta for almost 50 years, but when I go back to Quebec, I'm going home.) Being a lover of woolly wool and a fan of Canadian wool, which is full of Dorset, Suffolk, Cheviot, Jacob, Shetland and others...that cherry yarn in 'sturdy' wool has me drooling (not on my knitting, though!) All the best for years to come.

[@alenemazzuca5118]

thanks for your podcasting efforts and sharing your strong knitting experience with us.

[@sallythomas7940]

Congratulations on 7 years. That is amazing.

[@sandiniklas4882]

[@cathrynwood6072]

Great podcast! I have only found it over the past year but enjoy it very much. I particularly like the way you show your project bags!

[@lindaturner2980]

Love your podcasts, Selma, and although I wasn’t there at the beginning I have watched, listened and enjoyed every single episode! Your camping trip looked blissful - what a joy to be at one with nature. Linda, UK 💕🧶💕

[@kathywise8772]

Congratulations on your Podcasts and staying with it for us to continue to enjoy. I’m amazed at your accomplishments - work, family, knitting, sewing, as well as your ‘daily’ commits to a variety of activities. I enjoy that you don’t hesitate to tell us both the good and the not-so-good aspects of your projects. Of course we see our own issues and it’s good for us to realize that we aren’t alone!
