a friend to knit with - episode 39 The Friend to Friend Shrug

[@suemccord9723]

Wow Leslie, I love the variegated color on your Friend to Friend Shrugs you made, so Beautiful! Honestly they are all Beautiful. I am so inspired to make more and embroider on them. Congrats on another published pattern, it was so fun to test knit. Your calendar of knits was amazing, what a great idea. Happy Knitting dear friend. 🤗

[@karenparker9113]

Thank you Leslie for sharing your pattern. I hope you have a wonderful time seeing Libby and hiking the Camino!

[@juliekainz2025]

Thank you so much for the sweet pattern. I just love it and can’t wait to make this for me and my daughter. Have a super trip with your daughter. Precious memories!

[@MYROCKOROCKO]

Thank you so much my friend! Looking forward to knitting your gorgeous shrug ♥️ Have a fantastic get away to visit your daughter 🎶😉🎶

[@lindadavid1669]

Leslie! You are truly one of a kind ❤ Thank you so much for the pattern. It is lovely and I can’t wait to make it. Safe travels and enjoy time with your girl💕

[@palaklein]

Thank you Leslie for your generous gift, I'm looking forward to knit this beautiful shrug and maybe I will embroider some flower, I think that is a great idea. Thanks again and enjoy your hiking in Portugal❤

[@LesliesLakeLife]

Hi Leslie, thank you for sharing your newest design with us. It is really lovely. Enjoy your trip!

[@karensmith2204]

Ok Leslie, you are the ONLY female knitting Podcaster that I never want to miss. You are REAL, UNCOMPLICATED and GENUINE

[@cynthiawhite333]

Thank you Leslie for the pattern, it is a lovely design and I can’t wait to knit it up. Have a wonderful time during your spiritual journey on the Camino de Santiago trail, it’s on my bucket list!🌷

[@janinegoss6191]

Thank you for the beautiful pattern ❤ . Enjoy your travel adventures with Libby..

[@isabellerei5693]

Thank you Leslie for gifting this beautiful pattern. I’m following your podcast from Luxembourg but lived in Portugal for a few years… enjoy this beautiful country and Portuguese people. They are so humble and so friendly. Don’t miss the wool industry in the north of the country, if you can. You should be around the north if you’re hiking from Portugal to Spain… and one more detail, the laundries are very very very rare in Portugal. Don’t count too much on it. Hope you will have a wonderful time there. Enjoy. Looking forward to having your feedback. All the best. Isabelle

[@corrinaunal3323]

Thank you, Leslie, I was so surprised that you gave the pattern away. It is gorgeous. I ordered Hue+Me yarn to make 4 over the next few months, for myself and family. Know we will all love it!

[@LottaSocks]

Thank you, Leslie! I’ve never used Hue & Me, will get some !! You’re a lovely friend to knit with! Have a wonderful trip!

[@Marielm1]

I love that you use all sorts of yarn. I knit more than I can always manage good wool for. I will absolutely make this shrug next. Thank you, my friend!

[@cornishknitter-seasofskein9195]

Thank you Leslie for your generous gift, I cannot wait to knit your shrug pattern in yarn to match my Toast mitten/wrist warmers. Sending you love, light and peace from here in Cornwall, England. I look forward to each and every episode, you bring a little knitting joy to my life ❤

[@sharonvanpelt6005]

Thank you for always offering your designs for free initially, that’s really nice of you. I hope you have a wonderful trip visiting your daughter and the 5 day hike. I would also take either socks or a hat to knit on, just in case. Take care.

[@claudiar4235]

It’s always a pleasure watching your videos. Thank you for the Friend to Friend Shrug pattern. I look forward to knitting one after I finish a test knit I’m doing. Enjoy your trip. I’m sure you are excited to see and spend time with your daughter. God bless. 💕

[@heikek.b.2154]

Dear friend Leslie, thank you for this interesting podcast and for the very kind offer to download your amazing pattern. I think, I will knit it for our daughter Lili. By the way…Libby and you are soooo beautiful ❤ Hugs, Heike

[@joycook9169]

Thank you for sharing your shrug pattern with us, very generous of you, looking forward to knitting it up. Enjoy your time with your daughter in Spain.

[@Natalie-kt4uf]

Thank you for such a lovely pattern xx I am so looking forward to making one for my Mom who has just moved from South Africa to the States. A big climate change which means she needs to be kept cozy 💫

[@katrinalevin4064]

Have a wonderful trip to Portugal and Spain with Libby. When I was at Rosa Pomar in Lisbon, I spoke to a a woman buying some yarn to knit socks or a hat, she and her daughter had just finished hiking a portion of the Camino and she was eager to start another little project. Wishing you a happy hiking adventure.

[@vivianpowell1732]

Leslie, Thank you so much for sharing your lovely shrug pattern with your channel subscribers. I have been hoping to find a shrug pattern that is basic with a good yarn recommendation, and here it is! I love how shrugs keep your upper body warm but you still have full use of your arms and hands. Have a wonderful pilgrimage on The Camino. Shirley MacLaine has written a book about her experience walking that pilgrimage, titled "The Camino".

[@joniskinner7311]

Thank you so much for the pattern, Leslie! I think I might make one for my daughter to take to college next fall. Maybe when she wears it, she’ll think that it feels like a hug from her mama! ❤️ I hope you have a wonderful trip!

[@deeptimalhotra5701]

Leslie- thanks for creating and sharing this lovely shrug pattern. Enjoy your trip. Safe travels.

[@margarethastings3332]

Thank you so much Leslie. I love your channel. I can’t wait to knit your kind gift. Will head out to Joanne’s soon. Also, I am so grateful for your packing list. I’m a TERRIBLE packer - always take way too much. I’m just going to copy you dear Friend so I feel much more relaxed about our vacation. Going to Hawaii to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. Have a wonderful time in Portugal.

[@stellajay8860]

Thank you so much for the pattern! I think I am going to have to knit one for my mom, it's the perfect style for her. All of the ones you've made are beautiful but I especially love how sophisticated it is in black. What a perfect evening accessory!

Thank you so much for the lovely pattern! Enjoy your trip! My son biked that trail earlier this winter and loved it. He also went to Lisbon shopping before he came home, and bought me yarn from Retrosaria, made from wool from endangered sheep. Seemed like a very cool store; would love to see some video from there!

Just wanted to thank you for the pattern! I purchased the butterfly blanket pattern as well because I think it will be a great car project...

I was just there a few days ago buying some Hue + Me for the shrug... and went back today for more 🥰 I think they owe you a commission LOL!
