Hello from Scotland!

A quick hi and hello from our new place in Scotland! I hoped to be back this week with a new livestream but I've had this really persistant cough so it's going to have to wait a little bit :)
I am working on a new sock design, read more on Patreon!

This is my first viewing of your podcast. Yaaa, your attitude about Amazon; I totally relate. Good luck in making your new place a home. It can be a challenge at first but we all get there.

[@NewLeafDesigns]

Thank you so much!

[@MsHighpeaks]

Not sure you mentioned paying videos enough.😂😂😂😂

[@NewLeafDesigns]

You do realize people paying for my content is the reason why I can continue making free content, right 🙃

[@ClaireSamanthaFenner-kv8hw]

Hi Carmen, nice to hear you are slowly settling in .... I followed a year ago a sock workshop with you at KnitKat. Lovely to hear from you again this way.

[@wendysullivan5511]

In the US we can get evaporated milk in cans-it’s milk with some of the water taken out.

[@NewLeafDesigns]

I haven't seen it here yet but I'll keep an eye out!

[@Marnova]

Welcome to Scotland! For creamier milk, get Gold Top/Jersey milks. They are fresh though.

[@NewLeafDesigns]

Thanks so much for this recommendation! I got the Grahams gold milk today and it's delicious, thank you!

[@Charlingual]

Lovely to see you honey♥️ When it comes to black fridag I always try to go by the rule that if I was already planning on purchasing something big from a big company that I can't/don't want to buy 2nd hand (like a bedframe) and I can wait till black friday then that's fine. As long as I'm not buying rubbish just because it's bf and I'm not taking away from local and small companies because of bf. Yeah you get me.

[@NewLeafDesigns]

Ahh that helps a lot 🥺 we're buying a lot of stuff secondhand but some things we just can't find anywhere but in the biiiiig stores. Thanks honey 😘❤️

Welcome to Scotland Carmen! Wouldn't live anywhere else if I'm honest (in fact I've only ever lived in one other place in Scotland if you don't count uni) - its home :) Can't help with the milk dilemma as I don't take anything in my coffee but agree with suggestions to try Oatly Barista, especially if you don't want to go down the heavier fat content in milk x

[@NewLeafDesigns]

Thank you! I think we're really going to enjoy it here 🥰 The coffee milk is actually heavier fat content milk, but long life and in a smaller container. I'll experiment with the different kinds here, seems like fun! 😁

[@janemellowes674]

My daughter uses Oatly Barista style milk in tea. I use it in coffee, has a creamy & slightly sweet taste. Can be found with longlife milk at supermarket in UK. Might be worth a try.

[@NewLeafDesigns]

Thank you, that sounds great, I'll give it a try! 😁

[@marty9011]

Coffee milk is a Dutch thing. When you move to a different country you can't expect everything to be the same as your old country !

[@NewLeafDesigns]

Exactly, just one of those things! Didn't know until now that it was a Dutch thing 😆

[@AnnekesQuest]

Ze hebben hier single cream, double cream and whipping cream. Probeer de single cream. Je vind het in de koel sectie bij de melk. Het zit in potjes.

[@NewLeafDesigns]

Dankjewel, die ga ik proberen! 😁

[@moniquesmol5702]

Wat een mooi avontuur, wonen in Schotland! Door jou ben ik heel de serie Outlander gaan kijken en heb fairisle leren breien door de Sassenach KAL ❤.

[@NewLeafDesigns]

Dankjewel Monique! Ik vind het zo'n inspirerend land 😍 dat komt zeker vaak nog terug in mijn patronen!

[@Jimothie82]

Muller do a Barista Milk. They do it in Sainsburys. Maybe that might be similiar?

[@NewLeafDesigns]

I'll keep an eye out! So far I've only visited Tesco/Asda/Lidl/Aldi so I've still got more to explore 😊

[@Jimothie82]

@NewLeafDesigns tesco or asda might also have it. Lidl and Aldi I'm less sure of. 🙂

[@andrewst9797]

ask for condensed milk

[@NewLeafDesigns]

Oooh yes I love condensed milk! That'll be my Plan B 😊

[@alicejorissen5770]

Super jou zo te zien ❤

[@alicejorissen5770]

Hebben ze geen slagroom? Dat is ook lekker ☕️, wat een mooie gele wand! Super mooi. Heel veel beterschap.

[@alicejorissen5770]

Tot snel en dan maar heel veel koffiemelkcups meenemen 🩷

[@NewLeafDesigns]

Hoi Alice! Alles valt zo stukje bij beetje op zn plek :) Ja leuk he die gele muur! Slagroom heb ik nog niet gevonden (raar maar waar), alleen kookroom. Zal binnenkort nog eens op ontdekkingsreis gaan haha

[@valeriemoorcroft6838]

When we come to Scotland I have bought Graham's milk from most supermarkets. They have a creamy one, Gold Jersey it's delicious. Hope that helps.
