Knitting Podcast Ep 27

[@audreyburton685]

Another wonderful podcast. You are just lovely and a true pleasure to watch. Yes, as Christians, were are assured that those who pass in Christ, will be with us again. Enjoy your vacation and knit, relax and knit some more!

[@EvieBear236]

You should not have to contact the designer of the pattern you purchased twice. It is the same as buying the pattern and gifting it to another person. You paid the designer for the pattern you want to gift so you have fulfilled your obligation to the designer. Your projects are all lovely. I hope you have a great vacation and are able to work on everything you take with you.

[@Eiaknits2012]

I just want to hug you. You are such a sweet blessing to all of us and I for one truly appreciate that you take time to share your story with us. God bless you and your family 🙏🏼🥰

[@teadreyer1510]

Another lovely podcast episode, Makayla.. I always enjoy seeing what you are knitting and listening to your soothing voice. I love the vest you are wearing, and it might even inspire me to knit something similar. As to the Rhei pattern you accidentally bought twice, there would be no problem gifting it as you've paid for it. It's like going on Ravelry and purchasing & gifting a pattern to a friend. I also would absolutely love to knit it with you 💕 I want to say that I really understand what you are trying to convey when speaking about loss & how it brings up past grief. For reasons I don't need to share here, my own growing up time was very difficult, and my grandmother was like a mother to me. When she passed, after only 6 months of being sick, I was totally devastated. Even though it's been 35 years now, I still feel her loss acutely at certain times of the year. Particularly when another passing happens.. it never seems to get any easier to bear. Thank you for sharing your life with us.. and for another lovely hour of gorgeous knits x Tea

The changing color blue yarn actually looks like alpaca. Just the thickness of the of it. I could be wrong but it looks a lot like so,e drops brushed alpaca I have.

[@lucilesenseney5556]

Beautiful projects! I love the way you set goals, but if not achieved, you give yourself grace.

[@brookwillow]

The sweater vest you’re wearing is so cute! I also can’t get over how charming your dining room is 🥰

[@melcerra2375]

I hope you have a wonderful vacation. I just love your podcast. So many beautiful projects and plans. Thanks for taking the time to share!💛

[@cathynewkirk6807]

This was a beautiful episode! Your knits are amazing. I’m excited about the new cast-ons too. Please don’t apologize for opening up at the end. I found your comments very heartfelt, and I can certainly relate. Have a wonderful time on vacation, and all that car knitting!

[@TheAutumnAcornKnits]

So good catching up with you this morning Makayla! I LOVE every single thing you are knitting and have knit, just beautiful!! Have the BEST vacation ever! xoxo Judy

[@dianegordon2702]

Thanks for sharing...your knitting...your smile...a little of your soul. Enjoy your vacation.

[@noblecharactercrafts]

I pray that you all have a wonderful & relaxing vacation, Makayla! (And also that your youngest does well at the respite home.) I loved catching up with you as always! 💕😊

[@knittingindenivonne]

Love your podcast, at the end it brought tears to my eyes... thank you you are such a beautiful person ... greetings from holland Ivonne 😘🧶

[@therepublicofme]

I'm so sorry you went through such loss beautiful. I hope you find your center and that you know that you have friends across the world who are thinking of you. Ivana ❤

[@MrsKWheatley]

I'm making a Fair Isle vest for my husband. 288 stitches in the round. Like you, the cast on was really challenging and the yarn is new to me. And I've never steeked before. I set a target of 3 rounds per day - that takes me an hour!! Anyway, slow and steady and I'm making progress. Looking forward to watching your vest progress x

[@carlenlanser2276]

I so enjoy watching your videos & all the lovely things you are making. You do beautiful work. I appreciate your humble words & nature. People are blessed by your videos & what to bless you with gifts. Have a wonderful vacation.

[@TwinkleToes2day]

Wishing you a wonderful, magical, knitful, time away from your everyday routine, with family and loved ones all. These memories will stay with your children forever. I love your finished objects and your new cast-ons are going to be gorgeous. Looking forward to seeing you again soon. Blessings Always ~ Mo 🙏💐💖

[@susansmith3264]

I love your podcasts, Makayla! Your projects are always so inspiring and beautiful! So glad you are my sister in Christ! Have a wonderful vacation!

[@kimalley7202]

I love watching your episodes. So peaceful and relaxing. I hope you and your family have a wonderful vacation and you get a lot of knitting time in. Prayers for you all! ❤️. Looking forward to your next episode and hearing all about the beach time!

[@sarahwelsh3]

This took me a few days to watch (mom of 3 littles 😅) but I so enjoy your podcast and finding little times throughout my day to watch. I love all your projects and your future projects always inspire me. I enjoy your real life chats! I hope you had a relaxing vacation.

[@dinahhughes7020]

Hi from East Yorkshire uk! I usually do this - I’ve just had to cast on 260 sts for a bottom up sweater, I wasn’t prepared to risk a twist so I worked the first round of 1x1 rib straight and then it was much easier to join safely. Love your podcast, you are Supermum x

[@janetshepherd9062]

So enjoy watching your videos. So be careful of your hands. Switching out needle sizes is a good idea. But take at least a 15 min/hour rest for your hands. And stretch out your fingers. I have had two surgeries on my hands (I am 76) because I refuse to give up knitting. So, That is what my doc told me to do.

[@gaylecmiel8221]

How fun to look forward to a vacation! Have a super time, relax, play, have fun and of course knit, knit and then knit some more! I enjoy seeing all your projects…you do beautiful work and are fearless with those needles! Enjoy every stitch and every mile. I’d love to see a travel blog upon your return, but only if it feels right for you to make. While on vacation. Have fun!

[@kathystrickland2849]

Great video. I really enjoyed it. Your knits are beautiful. As always. Thanks for sharing your story on grief. Our beliefs are what get us thru each day. Have a great vacation!!!💕💕

[@Maya-ii6im]

Love your podcast,love your projects and love your kids ,I enjoy everything you share very much 😊many greetings from Germany 👋

[@jutta4286]

I can only echo the comments below from our knitting friends and enjoy every podcast episode from you, dear Makayla. It always feels like stopping by for a lovely chat in your kitchen❤...and I would love to knit this Rhei pattern together with you 😊

[@Mynextknit]

Thank for such a great podcast. I’ve never steeked anything either so I’ll be cheering you on and your tackle your first experience. Your discussion about grief and the feelings about past loss is very relatable for me. Sending so much love to you and your family ❤

[@aimeveryday2966]

Don't be nervous! The stitches will behave. I've steeked on less toothy yarn and it was okay. If you are nervous then you can make yourself a little swatch and practice first. Purl Soho has a great tutorial for securing stitches for steeking. Hope it goes well!

[@steffanikemp1738]

You are just my favorite podcaster!! I love your content! That Rhei looks beautiful too! I can’t wait to see it finished!

[@MeadowlarkMadeAK]

I also equate that pale blue with winter!!! I think maybe because growing up snow princesses were always white and blue. And especially up here in Alaska when the mountains are filled with snow the Alpen glow effect from sunset turns the mountains pink and periwinkle /baby blue 🥰💗🩵

[@carolbyrne3241]

Your voice is just so special and loved what you said at the end, I suffer with depression and anxiety which bobs up now and again and so difficult to deal with. Your knits are just gorgeous and am loving your upcoming plans. Have a lovely relaxing holiday and hope you get lots of car knitting done ❤❤

[@donnawenzel8842]

Always love watching you!!! You are so talented, kind and genuine! My favorite podcast 💕

[@paulaorsi5568]

Love your podcast ❤ your open and honest words. Keep doing what you do. So appreciated. Have a great vacation. Love hearing your Littles in the back ground ❤

[@debbiestuckey6599]

I love the shawls you knit for the 2 ladies at your church!! ❤ They are beautiful! I really enjoyed seeing all of your lovely projects, Makayla.

[@bellas535]

🫶 hope you enjoy your vacation time!! Really appreciate your videos, esp the ending segment this time, but it always makes my day! i would also like to be included in the Rhei drawing :)

[@janeenwalkley3650]

I totally enjoy your podcast and don't feel bad for venting! We love you and understand your need to talk about your problems. Have the greatest vacation ever! ❤❤❤❤

[@cristinarusu5616]

I love your podcasts, you knit sooo much and always surprise me with your choice of patterns and colors. The Rhei sweater looks intriguing so I would very much like to knit it with you. ❤

[@kimberlybrace]

I hope you have the best vacation! Excited to see all the progress you make while riding in the car. I would love to be included in the Rhei drawing :)

[@susanbossung9098]

You are such a wonderful person to spend my time with I relate to your feelings about knitting and life although I have children your age. It is extremely difficult to foster children. My sister fostered and with each child moving on there was a sense of lose. One little girl was not ever adopted so as a single mom, she adopted her at age 8. Unfortunately she became a challenge as a teenager. So many traits of her mother came out in her behavior. She had a terrible time bonding and developing empathy. Nature and nurture are both evident in each of us. Bless you. I hope you only have lovely days of joy and happiness. Be safe on your vacation.

[@themanicafe5072]

Thanks for another lovely episode ! i really want to knit the Levitate , its been on my list a long time. Maybe one day soon. Also, i'd love to knit the Rhei

[@lisafall3561]

Don’t be scared about the steeking on your vest. It is super easy, especially with Jamison and Smith.

[@sabinebauerle7655]

Have a great vacation on the outer banks. You’ll love it. My husband , who died nearly 4 years ago, once were there and loved it immensely. He’s the one who I am missing on a daily basis. Knitting helped me a lot to go on living and kept me sane.

[@Eva-ri1zb]

Have a great vacation! Love love all your videos and admired all your beautiful knitting projects.

[@marymcintyre646]

Have a wonderful vacation. Yes life can be hard the older we get, I just think who is next! Love your podcast.

[@marymcintyre646]

[@melissaemery8686]

About accepting gifts from people Our Pastor once said that when you don’t accept a gift from someone you are robbing them of their joy.

[@bettymcwoods9799]

That's right Makayla, we will be together with our loved ones that have gone on to heaven some day. I'm sad I lost my husband here on earth. But, it's ok. I know he's with Jesus.

[@Altreprimavere]

I’m catching up on your videos and I just wanted to send you and your family big hugs! ❤

[@TheHeritageArtsPodcast]

31:21 I think your Roosty Tank is going to be an excellent, albeit challenging project! Just think how much you’ll learn and how your confidence will grow!

[@audreyormond1233]

Gorgeous work you do. Love watching your podcasts from Australia

[@lisaalvarez3111]

...He maketh me to lie down in green pastures. He leadeth me beside still waters. He restoreth my soul...

[@josiejocreates]

I was so happy to watch this episode! I love seeing your makes and the colorwork vest and the cabled sweater are especially inspiring right now! I will be praying for you and your family (including your foster child) as you have the week apart. I can imagine that it's not easy, but I pray you all have a restorative vacation. I can absolutely relate to grief stirring up past grief, so I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of your Great Aunt, but I'm also so glad to hear she was a Christian and she's with Jesus and you'll get to see her again! I hope you have a wonderful time at the beach!

[@polinakonstantynopolska1060]

Love your channel, great podcast as always . I would be interested in the rhei pattern if you draw my name :)

[@jo-annefalconer6280]

Love your podcast with your gentle style, enjoy your vacation

[@luliknits]

I would love to knit the Rhei sweater with you! It looks amazing, thanks for being so generous!

[@dianabloomdesigns]

Lovely episode as always. ❤️ I always love seeing what you’re working - I love your style and am so tempted to try so many of those patterns! The Rhei sweater looks beautiful! That would be a beautiful one to make this season.

[@heathermato2779]

You are a pleasure to watch. Thank you for taking the time to put together a podcast for us to enjoy.

[@lisafletcher4518]

Your so lovely and it was so nice too hear your stories because its a hard topic grief and it's nice too no I'm not alone in my grief ❤

[@shilhavkest6428]

So lovley to hear you and see your works. I would like to knit with you the Rhei.thank you Shilhav

[@M00NR1DER_]

Ooh, I would love to make the Rhei sweater with you! I ❤ cables! 😊

[@meepiecrafts7799]

You are such a beautiful soul. Watching you gives me so much joy.

[@issy581athome]

Loved your podcast, have a wonderful holiday x

[@Beth-q5q]

When I was homeschooling my boys (a million years ago!), we got some butterfly chrysalis' to watch them mature. There was a warning note that came with them saying not to "help" them out of the chrysalis or you could damage their wings. It was amazing to watch how much they had to struggle to get their wings to open so they could fly but they were so beautiful when they did! Life's struggles are so like that. The awesome thing is what God does with those struggles - he's giving us wings and teaching us to fly with character and grace. A thing of beauty to bring him glory! Hope you have a very wonderful and restful vacation!!

[@danielletrottier6699]

Rhei. Yes I would like to knit it with you ! 😁thank you

[@katjafarbenfroh8646]

Hi Makayla, I wrote you an e-mail (about 2 weeks ago) with the link... I hope you received it and it`s not in the spam. Happy Knitting from Germany

[@sugarfolkhomemade]

Oh yes I did receive it! Thank you so much for taking the time to do that for me!

[@vickistanton9078]

Yay, Rhei sweater looks a fun challenge! I lovvvvve your ranunculus. Could you tell me the name/color# of the zauberball you are using for your Alpine Bloom, it is just lovely? Happy knitting friend.

[@sugarfolkhomemade]

The zauberball is the color privy council! It's beautiful!

[@amyb4730]

I am a brand new viewer and subscriber. I absolutely love your podcast. Everything that you knit was something I was either already planning to cast on or am now planning to cast on.😊 That gifted variegated blue lace weight yarn looks like Suri silk to me. It's usually 70% Suri alpaca and 30% silk. I actually prefer it to mohair because it's a bit softer. It knits up slightly larger than mohair but can easily be substituted for it. Maybe another ranunculus with those two yarns would be lovely.

[@amyb4730]

Lol I had paused the video to make this comment before you said the exact same thing about knitting a rannunculus with those two yarns.

[@lois-marietodd1502]

I too would love to knit the rhei with you thanks

[@grammyangie4s993]

Such a nice podcast. You are a gifted knitter! The Rhei is stunning and looks like a fun challenge! Enjoy your vacation knitting!

[@grammyangie4s993]

Check out salt city knits for shawl patterns. She has a podcast too!

[@annmorris6732]

I LOVE the patterns by Natsuko Lida! Thank you so much for presenting her here. The Rhei is a gorgeous pattern….I want to knit all of her patterns. What a beautiful gift from one of your viewers. Believing someone would do that and then accepting it by saying Thank You is such a wonderful trait to adopt in life. And, you have demonstrated that so wonderfully!😊 Your husband may be looking for a new car for travel or just day to day to accommodate the increased yarn bags that will be tagging along!😂 Have a very enjoyable vacation! Thank you again for such a wonderful podcast! ❤ I’m editing, since I posted before the end of the podcast. For those of us who are older, grief affects us differently as well….it’s different for whatever stage of life you are in. A month ago, a beautiful friend and knitter passed from ALS. She exhibited such grace in the face of unimaginable circumstances. I had the privilege of helping her to sort and give away her ‘healthy’ yarn stash. I’m not sure that I’ve fully processed her passing. I had three children within 3 1/2 years. I did not knit at the time…however, if I did, you would have set such a wonderful model for me. Finding the life/work balance is always a work in progress and we need to remember to be kind to ourselves…..since, then we are naturally kind to others. This is the 3rd podcast today where I have heard a similar message and my heart hurts to hear it for you and those other knitters. It was a wide range of ages for those delivering the message. The airplane analogy is my go to….put on your own oxygen mask first, so that you are available and able to help others. With much respect for your courage. ❤

[@sarahlocke4069]

I will be on the outerbanks this week too! we are foster/adoptive parents as well. Hope your week away is good for the soul. love your podcast ❤️

[@sugarfolkhomemade]

Oh neat! What area?

[@sarahlocke4069]

kitty hawk. but i am fairly local... live about an hour north. ❤️ looking foward to a few days of salty air

[@annettebowersox1976]

❤

[@denisewells6856]

I would love to knit Rhei with you! I love your gentle, calming podcasts. Everything is so hectic and worrisome right now and you are such an amazing oasis for us.

[@cristinarusu5616]

I totally relate to what you say about growing old and losing people around you. I think when this starts happening not only do you grieve for the lost ones , but it also stirs anxiety about losing the other family members as well. It makes you feel like everything is collapsing, your whole world starts changing.

[@ruthcomfort4735]

I think people are generous to you because they know you will use what is given. The yarn doesn’t go to waste. They can then enjoy what you make and know the yarn is appreciated.

[@debbiedennie255]

Amen my sister in Christ !!! Yes we know we will see them and where they are at 💝 Your knits are beautiful and can’t wait to see what you make with the wool gifted We have beautiful people in our lives who are givers and enjoy doing that … I am one of them and my heart feels so great when I gift I sometimes do not feel right by receiving but we are to say thanks cause it’s a gift … it took me a long time to feel good about a gift but the Lord has helped me with that Have a great VK and yes video some parts of it if you can … I love seeing ❤ 😊💝🥰

[@sandyrees490]

I was so happy to see your video show up this morning and you did not disappoint. I’m thankful that you share your thoughts both about your knitting but also about life. As a mother with adult children it’s so much fun to hear about your sweet family. I hope your vacation is everything your family dreams it will be!!

[@thewoollyhag-bs8ol]

A lovely episode as always! Hope you all enjoy your vacation! Sending hugs and many blessings your way 💖

[@Knitgirlmagic]

I just love seeing one of your podcasts pop up. Your spirit shines through in each episode. You have such a calming presence and you would never know how much you’ve been through over the past few years. Praying for peace and joy for everyone as you go on vacation with your sweet family.

[@cathiapizetta4957]

That was so sweet! Thank you for sharing your beautiful work with us! ❤
