[@soandiesews]

Thank you so much lovely. Xxx

[@francesfrancisco3381]

Your sweaters are lovely. I envy your knitting skill.

[@soandiesews]

Thank you so much Frances 🥰

[@sharonwalker3697]

Hi we live in New Zealand and sore the Aurora lights from our back yard. They were beautiful. I enjoy your sewing.❤️

[@soandiesews]

Thank you so much Sharon 🥰

[@ClaireD247]

Lovely Vlog 😊. Your knitting is stunning 😍

[@soandiesews]

Thank you so much 🥰

[@wolfgangshuman]

lovely makes

[@soandiesews]

Thank you 🥰

[@Hide_and_silk]

Love all your makes...and completely agree re the Sewing Bee. Stopped watching it a few years back.

[@soandiesews]

Thank you so much 🥰

[@jackiegreen8412]

Love your makes! Especially Tilly & Buttons Dress! We missed the Northern lights too the first night, the 2nd night was not too clear. Have fun in London!

[@soandiesews]

Thank you Jackie 🥰

[@suehardy812]

Love your Yvette dress. Style arc patterns always have a lot of ease. When I made mine I found that I didn't need to put the opening in the back - it just went over my head. The cuffs on the sleeves I found are a bit tight so I'm thinking of cutting them off and just hemming them or having a casing to thread elastic around. Loved seeing the rest of your makes ❤

[@soandiesews]

Thank you so much Sue 🥰

[@kylieharrison3782]

I love your 'waffles' ❤😂

[@soandiesews]

Thank you Kylie 🥰

[@michellebeyer1096]

Love your new Indigo - I've made one with long sleeves before but now thinking a summer one would be nice. Both of the skirt fabrics have a great retro look to them, slightly 70's - very cool and stylish! 😀

[@soandiesews]

Thank you so much Michelle 🥰

[@lindarogers4188]

Beautiful knitted sweaters. I love all your makes.

[@soandiesews]

Thank you so much Linda 🥰

[@marciahighsmith4820]

We once when I was 18 or 20 we had Northern Lights here in Austin, Texas. We are in South Central Texas. They must have been absolutely breathtaking in areas further North. I am lots older now, and haven't seen another. I liked your sewing and knitting. I loved your photos.

[@soandiesews]

Thank you so much Marcia 🥰

[@andreab3671]

I was lucky enough in Christchurch New Zealand to see Aurora Australis at my gate. I have never seen it before and not usually visible where I live. In two weeks I will be up by the equator so will miss it.

[@soandiesews]

My daughter (Aimee) spent a year in New Zealand and adored it. Enjoy your travels and thank you for your lovely comment 🥰

[@carolmendoza9897]

That knitted top is not a “simple” top, it’s is fabulous and doesn’t look simple to me! It will look very nice with the skirt. You always choose such pretty fabrics. I love the navy dress as well. You have been very busy. Your knitting is so professional. I have tried to knit and just can’t get the hang of it. Bravo Andie.

[@soandiesews]

Thank you so much Carol 🥰

[@catherinelennon4804]

Love what you call your ramblings, Andie. Your new skirt is going to be amazing in that fabric.

[@soandiesews]

Thank you so much Catherine 🥰

[@margaretwilson6427]

lovely vlog. so pleased you've had your broadband upgraded. Pizza on the beach sound amazing.x

[@soandiesews]

Thank you so much 🥰

[@seasidestitches615]

Lovely vlog Andie, I’ve not yet ventured with my Yvette, may bring it higher up the list now though, thank you. I can picture Porthmeor and Pizza on the beach, fab! Loving your beautiful knitting, andd your skirts, am back onto making skirts after a 26yr break lol. Good to see you, Susan x

[@soandiesews]

It was glorious on the beach. Not too busy at this time of year. I don’t usually make skirts but I now find myself looking for more patterns! 😂🥰

[@loriannpayne4483]

Lovely garments and knitted tops! So fun to watch your latest vlog. Those Northern Lights shots were stunning and ethereal - wow.

[@soandiesews]

Thank you so much lovely. The sky was incredible, I wish I had seen it x

[@cozymeadowknits]

Hi Andie!! looove your dresses! and alll of your knitted Tees! I'm just about to cast on my first Tolsta (I'm very late to that party lol) and finishing my seashore stroll as i watched this! Cheers from Canada! 🥰🥰

[@soandiesews]

Hello lovely, that’s so kind of you thank you. I’m working on the Ilha sweater at the moment while I’m sat in the car on the way home from London. The tolsta is a great pattern with loads of options. I hope you enjoy making it and thank you for watching and commenting 🥰🥰

[@SharonHartmann-j1w]

You are so talented. Love the makes and your style. The little jerseys are beautiful. Makes we wish I could knit. The dreaded Menopause word! Has left rather straight up and down. Used to love shirts but find they now no longer look good. Would love to see the finished garments and how you styled them. The denim jackets combo sounds 👌

[@soandiesews]

That’s very kind of you Sharon, thank you 🥰

[@Theartfulpeebs]

Pizza on the beach!!!! I’m so jealous! I would have said yes too lol. I didn’t know about the Aurora sky either until the next morning. Good luck spotting it in a couple of weeks. Hope this good weather keeps you productive. Knitting needles in the garden with G&T xxxxxxx

[@soandiesews]

It’s glorious at the moment but I don’t think it’s set to last. This means more fake tan on the legs! 😂 xxx

[@annettecowburn-sz8cq]

Hi Andie, I really like your stylearc dress and that butterick skirt too. As for aurora whatsit, yep I missed it too. Didn't know what everyone was going on about.lol. Have a nice weekend in that there London.

[@soandiesews]

Thank you lovely 🥰

[@SewMyTime]

Style Arc confusing 😂😂😂. How could you think that??? Haven’t made mine yet so this is very useful. Love the Indigo especially the button up back. The final skirt fabric is gorgeous. Agree totally with you about the Sewing Bee but will still watch it. Congrats on new internet - real game changer. 😊 Happy Sewing. Lynne

[@soandiesews]

Thank you Lynne. New internet is amazing and I’m glad someone else agrees with me about the times given in the sewing bee 🥰

[@angelavorhees5946]

Beautiful aurora pics. Pizza on the beach sounded awesome. Reminded me of a few decades ago, my husband ( only a boyfriend at the time😂) and myself had an evening picnic at the lake, altho the scenery wasn't quite as romantic as yours, it was fun. Still married 35+ years now.❤ loved your skirts. And you are super talented to knit also. I'm in awe. Those sweaters were amazing. I enjoy your channel and listening to you ramble😊.

[@soandiesews]

Thank you so much Angela 🥰

[@sandracorbett6780]

I agree with the sewing bee comment, it really winds me up that the garments aren’t finished properly, perhaps we both suffer from a little o.c.d I know I definitely do 😂

[@soandiesews]

Spot on there Sandra 😉🥰

[@ukiewife]

All your makes are lovely, Andrea! 😍 I really enjoyed seeing your knitting and was blown away with how many sweaters you've knit in such a short amount of time. You must be a pretty fast knitter! I'm curious whether your knitting style is English or Continental? I'm going to make a note of the patterns that you used so thank you for giving the name of both the pattern and the designer. Looking forward to seeing all of your current plans once they're done! Happy sewing. 😊

[@soandiesews]

Hello and thank you for your lovely comment. I’m an English style knitter but use both styles if I’m doing colourwork. 🥰

[@nicky-Sewandsnip]

Lovely dresses. I was disappointed about missing the Nothern lights too and sat in garden till 12:30 on Saturday night just incase! If only it had happened Thursday night when we were actually in the air flying back from hols😢

[@soandiesews]

Thank you Nicky. I’m glad I’m not the only one out at silly hours staring into dark skies 😂🥰

[@nicky-Sewandsnip]

@@soandiesews 😂 I would do it again, I need to find a prediction warning app just incase!

[@soandiesews]

@@nicky-Sewandsnipme too 😂

[@lindamahmood9829]

Your knitting is beautiful do you knit top down patterns your blue skirt is pretty and ideal for summer you are very talented take care

[@soandiesews]

Thank you Linda. Yes I usually go for a top down pattern and preferably in the round. 🥰

[@vernakg]

Love that summer T with the lacy yolk area. My knitting style is just basic squares...... I wonder how difficult it would be to learn.

[@soandiesews]

Hi Verna. Give it a go. My first lace pattern was the whitmoor by Amy lowden. It’s such a well written pattern with great instructions. My only advice would be to use markers between each section. I hope that helps 🥰

[@happytimesathome]

Really lovely makes - I would love to make the skirt, do you think Butterick 6744 is the same pattern? You can get the 6-12 size of your pattern in the UK but when I read the reviews realised their sizes don’t equate to ours! I always visit Truro fabrics on my numerous visits to Cornwall but get completely overwhelmed by the amount of fabrics, then give up! Stitches & Cream in Falmouth is my favourite yarn shop.

[@soandiesews]

That looks vertically identical! It’s even for the same model on the front. Well spotted, thank you. Stitches and cream is my favourite shop too 🥰

[@deborahpringle8512]

Hi love your knitting I’ve just bought the Kuutar top pattern can i ask what size and how many balls you used please?

[@soandiesews]

Hi Deborah. I made the size 5 and used 6 balls of the lang yarn. It’s a fantastic pattern. I hope you enjoy it 🥰

[@suewoodhead474]

Your knitting is beautiful. Do you knit everything top down?

[@soandiesews]

Thank you Sue. Yes I do tend to knit top down rather than bottom up 🥰

[@brenholmes4894]

I am about to cut out a Shelby. How did you find the sizing for that pattern? I find so many patterns are very oversized. Love your knitted tops. I have the Whitmoor pattern but not yet bought the yarn. Maybe I will hunt down some Sea Cell.

[@soandiesews]

I have made the Shelby 7 times now. The first 4 are a 16 and the last 3 are a 14. I find the fit much better in the smaller size. I’m a 39” high bust and a 41” full. I hope that helps 🥰

[@granjan252]

How in heavens name do you find time to hold down a job, sew, AND knit? I want to be you when I grow up…..

[@soandiesews]

Your comment made me LOL. Thank you 🥰
