I would love inspiration for making cleaning a heart jumping activity. Only you would put those two together... I love your positivity. 💗

[@ardnass]

Thank you once again for a wonderful episode! I liked that you came back to a project that has been worn many times before. So that you can hear experiences of how the wool behaves after a certain time. Should be done much more often! Most of the time you only hear how nice and soft, scratchy or similar the wool is when knitting. I'm looking forward to the next episode!

[@Erikaa..5..8]

I enjoyed a lot watching your video about cleaning your house! I love knitting but, as a mother of three, I always have lots of things to do and I struggle so much😅

[@kathyroalson2534]

You inspired me to make the classic ribbed hat for my son. I'm about half way through. I felt the same way about stuffed animals...buy I knit the Christopher Bunny for my granddaughter...it was VERY HEART JUMPING, as it is done ALL in one peice!! Just a magical pattern! I love everything you make! I love the way you think! Take care!❤

[@evelynmcninch7908]

I find stuffies to be very fiddly to knit too. But I do love how cute they are! I can't wait to see your bunny!

[@shereeh4541]

Look forward to your podcasts. Your English is so good and charming. Love the bunny and your cardigan! Looking forward to your cleaning podcasts- I can always use help in this area. Inspiration to do with less is my goal.

[@knittingbooksetc.2810]

I used to follow the Flylady system. These last few years I started following the TOMM system. I really love it. I even have the TOMM app and I listen to the recordings while I do my routines.

[@sandradearing604]

Claire Garland also has a lovely Blue Bunny! I love Little Cotton Rabbits also! SO nice to see all of these designs! I might try that classic ribbed hat! TY as always!!!! (so excited that Kutovakika had her son!) TY AGAIN!

[@dianaballard154]

Awesome content and looking forward to blue rabbit next week!

[@gretchen292]

Hi Sarah! There must be something in the air. I am feeling a small ember of housekeeping starting to burn a little brighter. I got hooked on this guy - THELIFEOFDWHO on KZbin. He’s a guy living in Detroit and every Sunday he does a reset of his home. He’s been a real inspiration for me. I’m a Flybaby too. I still do my fridge on Wednesdays and clean out my car on Fridays. That’s all that stuck, but I do go back every once in a while. I AM enjoying your knitting and your style. Just so clean and simple. Elegant! Thanks for being there!❤

[@debbieretzlaff2912]

Cute podcast as always! 🐇 I’m looking forward to your method of 🧽 cleaning❣️

[@larabartlett3483]

Hallo Sarah, going to school here in South Africa we had a subject called ‘huisvlyt’, now I know it also comes from our Dutch ‘language’ ancestry. I love blue, so happy knitting on the blue rabbit!

[@jenniferhaight1077]

The bunny is adorable. I've made many of these bunnies for family members and friends. Julie's patterns inspired me to learn to knit. She has beautiful ideas and is so clear with her instructions! I'm so glad you've shown us yours! Now I will try knitting little blankets for the bunnies I give to people.

[@RKCALGARY]

Spring cleaning is a thing! 😉

[@biscuitbarrel5623]

Maybe the scraps could be used to make bunny a pillow x

[@lynnedenney9771]

I love your woolly Sunday cardigan too! Would you consider doing a knit-together tutorial on it when you decide to make another one? That would be so fantastic for your beginner knitting audience. Please consider....many thanks!

[@margarethastings3332]

🤎🤎🤎 I look forward to your cleaning videos. Hopefully, they will inspire me with my cleaning too! 😅

[@ApplesandPeanutButter]

Perhaps you would like a "ponytail hat" style where the crown of the hat is not completely closed. Your curls would not be completely squashed and hidden if they are pulled through the opening (knit over a hair elastic to prevent the openingbfrom stretching out). I don't know if they are in style now, but warm ears are important 😁

[@ChristineDorsey1]

I found the Scandish Home KZbin channel (minimalism/house cleaning) a few years ago, and I think you would like her style. Love your channel!

[@toosilverme]

What a cute rabbit!! Love the blanket too. Most of all I love your words journey. "Back Sack" is the perfect word; a better one than we use in English. Back pack is what is commonly (and somewhat erroneously) used in the states, but truly, a back pack is what hikers take with them for multi-day camping trips. That Sunday Cardi has me inspired!

[@RKCALGARY]

Like I commented last episode, I was the same as you, never thought I would enjoy knitting toys. But first grandchild was born and I wanted him to have a handmade bear (Vera on Ravelry) … and it was so fun!! I am now making an elephant and the Emotional Support Chicken (Ravelry). Now it is my latest passion. LOL. Inam going to make Jacobus Monkey (Ravelry) afterwards. So fun and addictive and interesting the way the patterns are always shaping.

[@edinacole6382]

I saw all the pilling on your daughter's sweater and it reminded me of my Loops Waffle sweater which I made in Merino. :( I pulled it out of the drawer yesterday and in addition to the chocolate brown fading, there are pills all over it and I believe I have only worn it a few times. Less than 5 times! My friends wonder why I like knitting with "scratchy" yarns. This is the reason! I don't like my sweaters to look old immediately. My favorite yarn is still Holst Garn SuperSoft on a cone.

[@Meredith36]

The Blue Bunny is just the cutest with her little blanket. What a lovely gift for your niece! I love your daughter’s sweater, it's so beautiful. Happy knitting and crocheting 💚🧶💚

[@catherinecunningham7126]

The bunny is sooooo cute! I knew you’d enjoy it once you started. It’s neat to see them come alive as you make them! I’m so happy that you will be showing your cleaning videos! I ended up not only cleaning my windows but dusting the blinds and taking my curtains down in the bedroom and cleaning those. Thank you for the motivation, Sarah! ❤️🌷🌸🪻🌻

[@jessicanw]

Another enjoyable episode, Sarah (as always)! 🐰I might be wrong, but I think all Malabrigo yarns say "no dye lot." They do have regular colorways, which are posted on their website (some of my favorites are Arco Iris and Piedras), but their dye process results in a "no two skeins are the same" situation. Although the skeins in one colorway will all have the same vibe, the colors can vary A LOT between skeins, so I typically use Malabrigo for one skein projects or for a project where the huge variation just looks like a design choice (such as a blanket).

[@CindiPalmer-wq1mu]

Love your excitement about life shared with peaceful energy and how you can laugh at yourself. I love that you find so much happiness in simple things. I am actually excited to see you share your cleaning and organizing strategies. I aspire to have less things and enjoy them more.

[@shirleycoonce8726]

I love the blue bunny. To put your special touch on it. Make him/her a BROWN cardigan/ jacket. Brown being your favorite color.

[@nanapapaikenberry8476]

That blue rabbit. .......is Sara🎉 she loves her dress and cardigan. It's heart jumping!❤❤❤

[@marinkelmoon2866]

Yey the blue rabbit! I wonder if your niece got the idea from Kikaninchen, a blue rabbit on German television Kika, don’t know if that is available in Holland? Very cute your bunny 💙

[@tacistudio]

I love your blue bunny and you little niece will too. I’m making a little crochet bunny for my grandson and now I think I should make a little blanket if I have tie. What a cute idea 💙🐰

[@karenfeek1706]

I love YOUR hat story regarding you wearing them. Hats make my head hot.

[@janetwilliams2314]

I love your podcast, so honest and so upbeat.

[@angrytrees7519]

Happy Monday! I'm intrigued with the notion of enjoying cleaning. I never do enjoy it. It feels a bit like making sand castles close to the ocean... As soon as I'm satisfied with one castle, the one I built previously is swept into the sea. 4 kids.

[@maryklenewski7190]

The stuffies take so much concentration! But, your blue bunny is so cute! And, the bunny blanket is perfect. I’d love to try to make your cardigan. I love it and it looks so cozy.

[@debracubitt6191]

The yarn for your hat is very pretty and the headband would be gorgeous

[@PamKnitsToo]

Another great episode! I have wanted to make one of those bunnies for some time but thought it was too difficult. Now that I see you doing it I may give it a try. I’m looking forward to seeing the finished bunny. The sweater for your daughter is absolutely stunning. ❤

[@irenadler1907]

I knitted this bunny to my daughter for graduation. Bunny has a red dress with a white lace collar). Greetings from Moscow.

[@debracubitt6191]

The blue bunny is so very lovely😊

[@debracubitt6191]

You inspire me A little rabbit blanket 🎉🎉🎉😂❤

[@susanmyrawills]

Bun Bun is sooo cute! Please don’t clean.😂knit more!

[@tamilag4]

I really need my "cleaning fire" to burn, so any tips or advice you have would probably be very helpful for me.

[@tharinamarais4993]

Sarah can you tell us how you wash and dry the knitted gardigens, like the beige one of your daughter?

[@auntylinda7640]

❤❤❤

[@Meredith36]

Oh fun, first comment 🥰

[@auntylinda7640]
