A beautiful spot to sit and hand stitch the binding. So peaceful.

[@pamelanana58]

Your videos are really lovely - just lost my beloved dog and your videos are providing my some escape and comfort 💟

[@FiberTrek]

Oh, Pam! I'm so sorry. As a dog owner, I know how deep that hurt can be. I am so glad you are finding some comfort in the podcast. Many blessings to you.

Hello Luanne, It's lovely to hear from you. Love catching up on Instagram with Gus and company. Glad you're tuning in!

[@lyndathompson3973]

It was such a treat to watch while I ate lunch and knitted in my cosy corner of my new office. I've missed you, not been watching podcasts for a while but you've rekindled my interest in yours definitely! All the best lovely far away friend.

[@FiberTrek]

Hello! I am glad you found something worthwhile to return to, with cozy knitting. Fond wishes to you

[@sarahb4330]

Another inspiring episode, thank you

[@beckie605]

I just discovered your channel and watched this episode. I am a fellow Mainer living in Benton, just north of Waterville. I’m a long time crocheter, but never knit until I moved to Maine 13 years ago. I met a woman at church who was knitting socks. When I inquired how you do that she wrote a list of what I needed and sent me to Joyce at Yard Goods in Waterville. I then proceeded to sit with Wendy learning to knit and made my very first item, a pair of wool socks which looked horrible! Since then I’ve made several pair, a sweater, lots of hats, and some pillow covers (using up my left overs). But I just need more help to learn pattern stitches, cabling, color work, etc. i also do watercolors now and then. I attended the Fiber Fair this year and loved it! I live on a limited fixed income with my daughter and grandson, so I don’t have a large stash of yarn. May I ask where you live? I have not been any further north that Greenville on the west, Millinocket in the center and Eastport on the east. Really want to visit the county one day. We love Maine and will never leave. Well, I hope the hear back from you and look forward to watching more videos.

[@FiberTrek]

Hello! I live outside of Millinocket. It sounds like you've hit many beautiful, favorite spot so mine. Maine is the place to be for fiber and wool and I am so glad you enjoyed the fiber frolic. I am thrilled you've also found the channel! KZbin is your friend when it comes to advancing your knitting skills. I am all self taught from books. Happy Knitting and fond wishes, Sarah

[@Lynne-G]

Thank you for sharing your many talents. Loved listening and seeing all your creativity ❤

[@christinebrown6154]

Such a lovely video. Loved the quilting, decoupage & your beautiful sweater. Thank you from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@FiberTrek]

Scotland! How I long to be there and I miss it so much. Nice to know you're over across the pond tuning in. Thank you for your kind feedback.

[@celestegarcia486]

Thank you! Best wishes from Oregon.

[@FiberTrek]

Best Wishes to you, thank you so much!

[@rachleebookgirl]

What a beautiful episode! So many glorious ways to be creative! Rachel ( Yarn = Joy Podcast)

[@FiberTrek]

Thank you Rachel! Lovely to have you join me here.

[@this_skipper_knits959]

Lord you’re the only other person I’ve heard mention Anya Seton! Be still my heart. I have been carrying a book by her through the years ( probably 35) called ‘Green Darkness’ and it is to this day my favourite book. Lovely podcast as always. Thank you 🇨🇦

[@FiberTrek]

Oh, Green Darkness is one of my favorites, it's a toss up between it and Avalon...I've had mine for years too! Really enjoying Katherine, and will probably reread Avalon next!

[@gaylelamont9901]

I always look forward to your podcast. You are such an inspiration to me! Thanks!

[@FiberTrek]

Thank you for your kind words. I am so glad you find some inspiration here!

[@pegpage8618]

Hand stitching the binding is my favorite part of quilting 😊. Thanks for sharing your paper napkin tutorial - I love that look. As always, I enjoy listening/watching your knitting journey - the colors you use are so inspiring.

[@FiberTrek]

Thank you! 😊

[@conniesimonich2327]

I just love your podcast and the content that you share. Thank you and hope to see more

[@FiberTrek]

Thank you Connie, I am so glad you find the podcast interesting! Many fond wishes, Sarah

[@michaelanneneal8439]

Your podcast is my fave!!! Love it! Thank you for sharing...everything you make inspires me!

[@FiberTrek]

Aw, thank you..your kind feedback means so much these days.

[@conniebuchner4715]

I truly enjoy your artwork, so talented. I’d love to see more about how you made your own journal. Looked interesting giving yourself area to just write once your journal is done.💖💖💖I’m still watching and learning. Not as talented but you are a great inspiration!

[@FiberTrek]

I'd be thrilled to show more of my journal making! In the meantime you might checkout my Turning of the Year series I think it is the last one part IV, I bind a mini a book which is a similar process. Thank you for your feedback and for tuning in!

[@beccabauer1726]

Can you share a link to the Fox sweater with me? I LOVE it and would love to make one as well. Your color choices are amazing for it. 🙂

[@FiberTrek]

www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/frkengardskofte Here is the link to the Ravelry page...I believe it is only available in the book. You may have to do some digging internationally to find it but maybe try some popular Yarn Stores on line in Sweden and Norway

[@carolynjenkins1557]

I thought of you first thing when I heard they had found the "Endurance". Does that make me a long time fan? It doesn't seem all that long ago that you talked about Shackleford and his crew.

[@thegentleknitter]

Haha I had the exact same thought

[@FiberTrek]

Yes! A long time fan and I'm so appreciative! Shackleton's Spirit lives on...what an amazing person.
