Thank you, Ruth! I read lips mostly and you are so courteous about not covering your face when talking! Wish all people would do that, including my husband!💜👏🏻

[@ruthlovestoknitpodcast]

Oh I could be so much better. I really have to remember. Xx

[@youngbloodsuz]

I finally caught up on every one of your episodes lol I do enjoy visiting with you, Ruth, and seeing so many lovely projects. I’m thankful you were able to have your surgery and hope your recovery is quick. What kids and wonderful gifts you received! Yes, there are some absolutely wonderful people in this world. Thank you again for sharing God’s hope and truth with us each episode. We all need it! ❤️ Suzette

[@rowanwatts7377]

I love my dpns aka devil sticks - that did make me laugh!!

[@ruthlovestoknitpodcast]

Just can't get on with them at all. I keep pulling out the wrong one or jamming one under my finger nail ouch.

[@debvandermolen8402]

Hi Ruth, great to see you. Best wishes for a speedy recovery. It was an epic episode but loved every minute. Take care x

[@ruthlovestoknitpodcast]

Thanks so much.

[@angelaholcroft4515]

Hi Ruth. Lovely to see you again. So glad your starting to feel well again. All your makes were lovely, especially the poncho. The foot really made me laugh. Maybe paint the toenails 😂. Thankyou so much for the eds shout out. It made me cry. It was such a long road to diagnosis for me, talking about it may help someone to a much shorter journey. Looking forward to the shawl kal. Couple of birthday gifts to knit, looks like they'll be shawls. Take care. Xx💕🌈🦓

[@ruthlovestoknitpodcast]

So glad you are joining the Kal. I am telling everyone about EDS these days. I got through many years as a nurse/midwife and had never heard of it.

[@ishratk5139]

That foot! Oh dear! But I'm so glad I've finally checked out your podcast Ruth ... and promptly subscribed as I'm so looking forward to more!

[@ruthlovestoknitpodcast]

Thanks so much.

[@Codythefnafnerd]

I think your mannequin foot is hilarious! Your projects are beautiful.

[@ruthlovestoknitpodcast]

Thank you x

[@ruthlovestoknitpodcast]

So glad you found me. Thank you x

[@AngelGail8]

The Knitting Gift Shop is near where I live. Fab little shop. The Pattern line keeper is a fab little tool.

[@ruthlovestoknitpodcast]

I love it as I used to use washi tape. I am a bit old school with paper patterns.

[@agnespowderly8349]

Hi Ruth , I just discovered you here today . You are a breath of fresh air . I am here in the hills of County Cavan and I am so glad of your company . ❤️

[@ruthlovestoknitpodcast]

[@cheribartlett6324]

Ooh. I’m intrigued to see your slip stravaganza blanket. That shawl pattern is going to be my Birthday month cast on this September. Happy all went well with you. I know it’s been a few years but still happy for you.

[@ruthlovestoknitpodcast]

I havent even cast it on yet 😅😅

[@DawnsDays]

Ahhh well done Ruth lovely to see all your goodies and hear about your plans ❤ thanks for joining the bucket list challenge, love all the things in your list especially that celtic shawl 😍 take care lovely ❤

[@ruthlovestoknitpodcast]

Sorry it was a bit rushed. I think I need a 50 pattern challenge 🤔😂

[@zena-knittingbeans7973]

Good to see you are feeling better. I’m not getting much done just watching all your wonderful knitting 🧶🤗

[@ruthlovestoknitpodcast]

Thanks so much for watching x

[@trishathomas4543]

Hi Ruth , welcome back Love all your FOs, Ho and Wips. I’m sock mojo will return. Good luck with the steering.The Happy Holiday shawl looks lovely, look forward to seeing the finished article. I’m a big fan of stitch markers on lace work, sometimes I think there’s more markers than stitches! I’ve just managed to recreate my Instagram account which was hacked, so I’ll look out for you. I’m just about 2/3 through a Kokopelli shawl, so hopefully I can finish this and join in with a new shawl. Really want to do another Stephen West shawl, so I will start looking through his patterns (I may be some time🤣🤣🤣) Your patterns look interesting, looking forward to seeing those! Take care xx

[@ruthlovestoknitpodcast]

Hope you can choose just one Stephen West Shawl 😜. I may have changed my mind about the patterns already 🤔 Thanks so much for your support.

[@woollywitchcraft4379]

found you! sitting with my coffee and knitting 🧶💛

[@ruthlovestoknitpodcast]

Hope its a big mug 😂😂. Looking forward to seeing your new design.

[@janedaniel7288]

I know I'm new at following you but I have missed your videos. So glad to see you looking good and smiling. Love the candy cane shawl, sorry can't remember it's show name. I know what you mean about things being attracted to the floor. I would be lost with out my picking up gadget and the magnet at the bottom is great for dropped pins and needles and certain stitch markers. Take care and keep safe. xxJane

[@ruthlovestoknitpodcast]

The Happy Holidays shawl. Not sure when it will be published. It's been quite the knit. I will share again in the next podcast.

[@littlemonkeysandme3171]

The spectra is gorgeous!!! And oh my goodness!!!!! When you showed that foot, I just couldn’t stop laughing!! I laughed soooo much, just writing about it, I’m dying of laughter! 🤣🤣 Yay for your first steeking project! I think that it is looking beautiful!! 😍😍😍 “DPNs don’t talk to me” hahaha that is exactly how I feel about them too! I am so excited for our KAL!! And don’t worry…I still managed to make a longer episode…I’m just sooo chatty!

[@janescarisbrick6986]

So good to see how well you look and hopefully feel x

[@lindal242]

I am so glad you are feeling better!! You look great! God bless! ❤️

[@ruthlovestoknitpodcast]

Thanks so much x

[@wildcottageknitting]

Love your Spectra, and the candy cane shawl test knit! I look forward to seeing it completed 😊 I’ve got a big ‘shlanket’ started & it will be under 25% for the knitalong, but I’m sure I’ll have another shawl cast on soon- I’m like you with shawls being my favourite knit.

[@ruthlovestoknitpodcast]

Thanks so much for watching. Great to have you on board.

[@sylviamccormick9510]

Hello Ruth, so lovely to see you back again and hopefully you are recovering well, and always remember, you need time to relax, rest and heal. I love the shawl kal, I haven't knit any in a long time, but I do have 2 that I would really love to knit, so this could be the get up and go that I need lol. My daughter Maggie would love a special wee gift, she's still trying to come to terms with losing her dad, as she has spent the last year making sure that I'm ok, her hubby had a stroke a few months ago, so she's trying to deal with that, although he's now back to work she is doing what she can to help him and take some of the pressure off him, she has her own health issues but insists on putting everyone else first. Take care and get well soon Ruth, love and hugs from Scotland xxx

[@ruthlovestoknitpodcast]

Thanks for sharing x

[@vivettecraftsandreads2139]

Lovely to have you back on the interwebs. You have been busy! I did laugh when you showed the foot mannequin 😂 and I agree with you on dpns! I'm now off to search my shawl patterns ready to join in with the KAL, but I bet I end up buying a new one 😂. God bless and take care x

[@ruthlovestoknitpodcast]

Oh so glad you are going to join in with the kal. Go on treat yourself to a new pattern 😉

[@dfblake7]

Hi Ruth, Did you say you use 9" circulars for sleeves? I'm surprised that the stitches would fit on such a short cord. Thank you for sharing your knits and humour with us....I recognise the Irish wit as I have the same heritage.

[@ruthlovestoknitpodcast]

I use 16" till the first few decreases then 9".

[@heatheranderson5668]

Welcome back, Ruth! Glad you are on the mend! :)

[@ruthlovestoknitpodcast]

Thanks so much.

[@daniellebaker3921]

So lovely to see you back and looking so well. I hope the healing speeds up so you can stop dropping things!! Lol. What a lovely way to pay it forward. I have a friend called Jay. She has been an absolute rock to me through this last year all the while dealing with losing her job and serious family sickness and generally having a really tough time. She finally found a decent job and work environment but is still really struggling with her mental health and this package would genuinely make her year! Hope you're feeling your fabulous self again real soon Ruth x

[@ruthlovestoknitpodcast]

Thanks so much. Will count Jay in to the draw.

[@ruthlovestoknitpodcast]

Danielle could you please email me at [e-mail] regarding the pay it forward. Thanks.

[@helgasathomewithhercrafts2224]

Good to see you Ruth,I have done th3 across the pond shawl it’s lovelyi. Am the worst procrastinater,I need to work on that

[@ruthlovestoknitpodcast]

Thanks Helen.

[@stitchesandjacks7692]

Just caught up with your podcast today, and glad to see your lovely smiling face and hope you are feeling better. I love your projects; especially the Stephen West Curvette Shawl; the yarn choice is just perfect. Your KAL sounds a great idea I need to have a good think; so I can join in xx

[@rachleebookgirl]

Ruthie, so lovely to “meet” you. I just discovered your podcast and happily subscribed. I’m a shawl lover too! I have a tiny little podcast as well (Yarn=Joy) all about my knitting projects if you’d care to see what I’m up to. Thanks for podcasting😊 Rachel

[@ruthlovestoknitpodcast]

Oh will definitely check out your podcast. So lovely that you called me Ruthie. I was called that as a child and then again when I worked overseas. Very few call me it now but I miss it.

[@elisab8096]

I love knitting shawls, so I will surely enter (on Ravelry though, I don't do IG). I will have a test starting in July, and I'm also planning a Vertices Unite. And maybe something else 😄 Glad to see you again! Hope you get well soon ❤️

[@ruthlovestoknitpodcast]

Wonderful! Yay. See you over on Ravelry xx

[@debbiestuckey6599]

Oh Ruth, you really made me laugh outloud talking about that foot! 🤣 and your husband saying, What on earth have you ordered now?! I would've squealed too! 😅 I'm going to be knitting the Across the Pond Shawl. Do you think you'll be making the largest size? Lovely podcast!! 💖💞

[@ruthlovestoknitpodcast]

Just had to add to share the foot. Yes sure the bigger the better. Hope you will join the kal x

[@josemuylaert3466]

Love seeing you podcast again, and glad to hear you're okay and still your cheerful self ! And just what I needed, your podcast always make me feel good and relaxed, thank you so much ! Those stitchmarkers are lovely... That foot though ! You had me laugh out loud here :) Funny that metal needes should annoy you; I don't mind the clicking, it sometimes even makes me feel nostalgic, as my mum used to knit with metal needles as well ( she doesn't really knit anymore now )

[@ruthlovestoknitpodcast]

Thanks so much for your lovely comments. It doesnt annoy me if anyone else's needles click just mine 🙄. It's great that we have choices these days. Xx

[@EmilyRV636]

I love your Kastellet! It looks great on you. I like a wider neck in a sweater for myself… do you think I could cast on more stitches and cut out an eyelet repeat or two to open up the neck? That foot you ordered is hilarious!

[@ruthlovestoknitpodcast]

I would d say so. Depending on the yarn maybe blocking it would be enough. The pattern is free so have a wee look and see.

[@sandydonaldson2338]

Was wondering if you can tell me what you did carry your yarn over the steeking part you are doing. I want to do a colourwork steeking project but don’t know how to carry the colourwork over the part you will Steek.

[@ruthlovestoknitpodcast]

I just kept knitting the pattern but knit a purl stitch then 5 knit stitches then a purl and continues on with pattern.

[@sandydonaldson2338]

@@ruthlovestoknitpodcast the purls did you use one colour and knit with other top colour to carry colours through then start the pattern? On you next podcast I was wondering if you can show the wrong side of the Steek so I can mentally see it in my head if that is possible.

[@ruthlovestoknitpodcast]

Sandy. I just followed what the pattern said. It said continue in pattern.

[@ruthlovestoknitpodcast]

Sandy send me a wee email so I have your address or insta name and I can send you some photos.
