2025!!! We haven’t time travelled, I’m a Wally and said the wrong year. I do wonder; would I like to repeat last year just to get a bit more time on this planet or am I ready to plunge into waters unknown?

[@janecopeland2306]

I love your cardigan and so, so nice to see Bill. I love his hair! My brother had hair exactly like that, much to my mother's chagrin. Sending hugs.

[@jillfoster6369]

What a treat to see you here again this week. Fabulous for all of us and the bonus of seeing Bill……..I could give him a granny hug but he would probably not be too pleased with that. 🙈 love your pink cardi and hearing some more of your catch up. I am finishing a beanie hat for my grandson’s uni friend. I have made him fingerless mitts and an emotional support chicken. That made him emotional. Take care and see you soon ❤

[@talesfromcuckooland]

How lovely of you to knit for your grandsons friend ☺️☺️☺️

[@kellyfazekas7831]

That peachy pink color of your current WIP flatters you so much and you look even more beautiful than normal!

[@talesfromcuckooland]

Oh stop!!!

[@heathertucker7056]

How exciting to be off to Lay Family again! I’ve still got a bit or Hurkle Durkle left and it’s such a pretty yarn! Lovely you kept in Bill’s cameo appearance! I just want to give him a grandma hug - although he’d probably hate it! I found Nancy’s channel through watching your video of the retreat and I really love her videos now! Take care and thanks for a great catch up! Lots of love WW xx

[@sandiking1584]

Could not help myself...I bought the Maybury pattern, it looks so snuggly. I knitted a jumper in Fishermans Rib for my ex and loved it. I bought a pretty peachy pink yarn. Bill is the best and so glad Wilf is doing well🧡I'm looking forward to seeing your new colorway xx

[@SangoKSJ]

That pink cardigan 😍 it’s gorgeous!!! And Bill ❤ he’s a sweetheart! Lovely video as usual, like catching up with a friend ❤

[@talesfromcuckooland]

Thank you!! 😊

[@TorillFabry]

Such a loving knitting community, I would love to Knit (and know how to) but due to my fybromelangia i can't my hands get cramps. But i love to follow for all the beautifull creations, the gloves are so handy!!!

[@talesfromcuckooland]

Oh that’s such a shame, must be very painful and frustrating having pain like that. X

[@cherylwatson6532]

I love Bill! He’s such a sweetheart xx

[@lauracurry9917]

I’m knitting a small doll called the Izzy. Free pattern on Ravelry. I’m avoiding working on two summer tops that are in the long slog of boring stockinette in the round. And avoiding a pair of socks which are almost finished! I love that cardigan. Off to peruse it.

[@talesfromcuckooland]

Finish the socks and it’ll give you the buzz to continue with the round and round. Go go! You can do it!

[@darlenewatkins4999]

LOVELY podcast!! I always enjoy spending time catching up with you!! I bought 2 skeins of the Hurkle Durkle, made socks with one skein, saved the 2nd skein......and can't WAIT to see what you make next!!! Love seeing all the beautiful crafty things today!! I am trying my best not to start anything new till I get the eleventy billion WIPS I have accumulated off the needles, but I do need a pair of valentine socks so there is that! :)

[@talesfromcuckooland]

I’m excited to knit up the new one with a bit of Hurkle stripes in as they look so nice next to each other!

[@miraremh]

Back again, just to say that I get that over-excited, what should I do first, feeling when I feel like I have a good stretch of open time! So many good things to make, so little time! And then I usually end up having a nap with the cat! Love the fingerless mitts! Great gift idea!

[@Naturebug12]

Bless you dear cuckoo...it is 2025, I keep writing 2024 also! Bill seems to be getting mich more confident and indepemdemt- awesome job Bill! Lovely catch up, from Canada 🇨🇦 ❤

[@talesfromcuckooland]

What an absolute numpty I am!!!

[@susanmcgregor3787]

Loving the cardigan. Can't wait to see the finished garment. Best wishes to all.

[@Bijourain69]

Loved the cardigan 😍. I've just finished my first fairisle vest, the Wild Rose Vest by Mary Ann Stephens , its gorgeous. I've now got the bug, and I'm waiting for a delivery from Jamiesons of Shetland with their spindrift to make the Alcott Vest by Mary Henderson ( the colours are beautiful), I can't wait to cast it on, eeek.

[@talesfromcuckooland]

Oh well done you! I have the wild rose pattern but I’m putting off starting because I don’t know what colours I want and I think I’d need a quiet room to focus in and that can be a challenge. X

[@pennyspearing2731]

Thank you for letting us see Bill, we all love him. Your cardigan is so pretty and hopefully you will have more time now to work on it 😊

[@roniholm8878]

I was just wondering if you were going to use this channel again soon, and here you are!! The reindeer is adorable, but that corally pink cardigan is beautiful!! A real color, too! Your shorter hair makes you look like a young Julie Andrews. It's quite a shock when we end up with hair shorter than we had in mind. Thank goodness hair grows back. Thanks for this video. I love this channel!

[@annnna4e]

I was thinking Julie Andrews as soon as the video started! 💯💯💯💯💯

[@talesfromcuckooland]

That is such a compliment!

[@talesfromcuckooland]

I’ll never abandon this channel! I’ll always be back roughly once a month like I have the past 8 years or so, depending on what I have to show. This is where I’ll keep the crafts and the other channel is for my vlogs now. Julie Andrew’s!!!! Wow! I’ll dine out in that one. Xx

[@susanmartin7775]

Another great podcast Gayna. Oh and Bill what a sweetheart ❤❤ Cheers🥂

[@champagnesupernova5745]

Awww Bill chattering up a storm ❤❤

[@lindawilcox6617]

Your Maybury is gorgeous on you!

[@gracetyler3734]

I made the Tilda nutcracker for my daughter it is lovely. I also made the Pinocchio from their Toy book he is gorgeous quite big and very fiddly xx

[@sallyanne3781]

Love the reindeer and of course everything else you make .

[@tinastone7368]

Lovely Gayna 😊. And yep, we all love bill …. He’s the star of the show today 😉👍

[@youmerosie3829]

Yay, lovely to find you again. Lovely chat and buts n bobs. Definitely inspiration for my next project. Gorgeous peach cardi, going to check pattern out.

[@talesfromcuckooland]

You won’t regret it!

[@patriciaevans2539]

Hi Gayna! Love watching your channels. Your house is beautiful and your family is lovely. Bill makes me smile..so charming. I'm looking forward to your new color yarn! How fun. My Hurkle durkle is waiting..😊. Thanks for being you!❤

[@talesfromcuckooland]

Get balling up the Hurkle Durkle!! It’s time has come!

[@jillsomething1995]

Oooo that little woolly sock would make a lovely little brooch Gayna

[@talesfromcuckooland]

It really would!!

[@cynthiaspear-duncan7661]

I saw the early haircut vid. There's NO way you did or could look like a lad. You are gorgeous. I did and do love the haircut.

[@talesfromcuckooland]

Thank you! I’m settling into it now ☺️

[@72tribalgirl]

Thank you for another lovely episode ❤️ Your cardigan looks so lovely! Been looking for a pattern for a brioche style cardigan for some yarn in my stash, so maybe this one could work. I just finished my Lenu sweater (going to make the hood later), and besides knitting socks for my daughter and some baby booties for an expecting colleague, my next goal is to finish my Very Merry sweater which has been lingering in my knitting basket for far too long 😊 Also just finished a knitted snowflake (yes I'm not done with Christmas crafts yet either 😅) Take care and have a lovely week ❤

[@feltaria9177]

Lovely to have a catch up. Maybury looks great. I’m knitting Coombe DK and loving it.

[@pauljoscott869]

I’d love to make the cardigan you’re currently knitting but I can’t knit 😅 hopefully 2025 will be the year to try to learn again. Loved Bill’s little cameo 🥰

[@talesfromcuckooland]

Maybe start with something a bit easier to unravel and pick up stitches if you go wrong first but in know time you’d be able to handle a well written pattern like this. Xxx

[@flourchylde]

Gayna, you look stunning, regardless of the camera. You get even more lovely as you age. The current length of your hair is so flattering. How is dear Franka doing? I love Leslie Friend"s channel and am currently knitting her new vest pattern.

[@talesfromcuckooland]

Oh you charmer! Franca is doing well, she has her beloved dog back with her now so that will have given her such a boost. So was looking at that vest, it looks like a lovely fit. X

[@roseb4988]

Gayna your hair looks great, suits you so much. Lovely to see Bill 😊

[@talesfromcuckooland]

He was certainly on form and was chatty the whole day. X

[@moiragarner1253]

Yay. Don’t forget my knit wear tour 😊

[@fleurday9438]

Well I would mostly like to do some!!! I am setting up a Procrastinators Are Us Self Help Group!! Or should I??? Lovely vlog Scrumptious! xxxx

[@talesfromcuckooland]

I’ll join. Especially if we can have a fun secret handshake.

[@cottagekeeper1044]

Always a pleasure to visit with you. I hope you and your family have a blessed new year.

[@VisitWithNanaAndPapa]

So happy to see you!

[@melhartley8376]

I look forward to seeing your new colorway. I have 2 Hurkle Durkle than I am holding for a special project.

[@talesfromcuckooland]

Ah don’t save it, just knit it and enjoy!!!

[@AnneHarling]

Lovely to see you Gayna, your hair looks lovely, take care look forward to seeing you again soon. ❤

[@lyncorrin]

Just love your vlogs lovely lady and so look forward to more x

[@yvonneashford3928]

Hair looks great

[@GilliBryan]

Ha ha dodgy bag, you’re a funny bunny! X

[@caroleemsall9495]

❤ The colour of your maybury cardigan really suits you ❤

[@talesfromcuckooland]

I love it! And the knitting and squishing of the yarn is so lovely.

[@pauljoscott869]

My youngest plays Farm Simulator too! I can attest that it does get noisy at times 🫣😂

[@tinakercher8768]

Our dog had dementia and was given Xanax once day. It was very hard deciding when she should be put down. She was just our best friend.

[@talesfromcuckooland]

😥 that’s what is worrying me. When will I know Margo has had enough. X

[@Barneysma]

@@talesfromcuckoolandI lost my beautiful soul dog last September, it was such a hard decision to make, but I knew I had done all that could be done for her. Her vet told me that when she lost the ability to do/enjoy three of her favourite things, it would be time to start to think about it. It was the very hardest but kindest decision.

[@Layfamilylife]

Whoo hoo first to comment🎉🎉🎉🎉 number one cuckoo fan ❤❤❤❤❤

[@dianekaye6533]

Shoot I had to check the date 😂

[@talesfromcuckooland]

I know! What a Wally 😆😆😆

[@champagnesupernova5745]

I wish I looked as great in a beret as you do lol!!

[@valjones5569]

Love Bill, so funny. Gayna I have seen a tiny sock pattern from Winwick Mum, have you seen her blog?

[@lkm77145]

I have ordered the robot hoover. You sold it to me 😂

[@talesfromcuckooland]

Hope you love it! My friend ordered one too and she spent yesterday just watching it go around and around 😂 she loves hers but hasn’t named it yet.

[@StarrFyrestick]

You didn't mention little Coconut in your pet list. Did I miss his passing or is he still with us?

[@jharrison2117]

I was wondering the same thing.

[@talesfromcuckooland]

He died a few months ago. He got old and sad, stopped playing and pulled his tummy fur out so it was time to let him go peacefully.

[@talesfromcuckooland]

He died a few months ago, bless him. Xxx

[@Naturebug12]

I also wondered. Bless Coconut and Timmy

It takes me till March to adjust!

[@moiragarner1253]

Oh don’t cut Margo out 😊

[@talesfromcuckooland]

She was barking and being a shouty fluff ball. Not making her sweet snoring noises or digging comically, I keep the nice bits in for you ☺️
