Episode 32 - Knitting in Ireland!

[@adeleb7753]

I am knitting the burberry inspired cowl neck scarf in merino yarn, purple colorway :))

[@heyBrownBerry]

What a beautifully done recap of your trip, Selma. The landscape there is STUNNING and the friendship you and Kate have comes through in your smiles. Thanks for sharing this with us. Your souvenirs from the trip (including your finished knits) are incredible!

[@unnuradalbjorghauksdottir3358]

Thank you Selma for your time and sweetness. These days I am knitting angels for Christmas ... ❤️

[@prairiefirebird9902]

Lovely footage of Ireland! Someday I will go there! My latest projects are a Mountain Mist by Tin Can Knits sweater for my daughter and a Celtic cardigan by Martin Storey. Your bright red cardigan looks lovely on you!

[@lorrainepullen2603]

Always lovely to see footage of Ireland. I was on a Knitting Tour of Northern Ireland and had a class with Edel McB. It was grand, as they would say there. Enjoy your beautiful yarn, it will make you smile when you are knitting it. 😉

[@CranberryEssentialTarot]

I am a new knitter and I'm working on a hat for my son's girlfriend. I'm quickly getting addicted to knitting! Love the pictures of Ireland. Thank you for sharing.

[@jeanlong1400]

I have only watched this podcast now Selma and absolutely loved the reminder of the wonderful retreat we were lucky enough to enjoy last November. The footage you took of your trip is stunning. So lovely to see Ireland through your eyes!

[@kalicokathy1944]

I enjoyed visiting yarn shops in County Clare and Aran Islands. So friendly and helpful felt like it’s a Sisterhood with fellow knitters wherever I went. That was in 2014 hated to leave Ireland. My family of origin is from County Clare. It would be a dream come true if I could go back to Ireland but at 79 not financially able to do that. It was the trip of my life such happy friendly people

[@LeslieChis]

Thank you Selma for your beautiful presence and podcast! I have watched and rewatched the footage of your trip and it is stunning! Thank you so much for sharing!! ♥️

[@renatekuhn9810]

Thank you so much for the wonderful pictures of your trip with Kate in Ireland, Selma. At the moment I am working on my cosy memories blanket. 😍🤗😘

[@sandivandervoort4305]

I’m currently knitting Slouchy Slockers as a gift. I’ve also recently pulled out a very old cross-stitch wip and am thoroughly enjoying working on it. I had forgotten how relaxing stitching is. Thanks for the Ireland videos! Love them!

[@priscaklatten5278]

Oh wauw Selma, your visit to Ireland and Kate looked magical indeed ! I always enjoy your podcast but I can imagine you will keep watching this one yourself. Wonderful footage !

[@waterwomanknits]

Thank you for taking us along! A life dream of mine I don't see how to make come true...so to do so vicariously is fabulous.

[@stefaniehums9846]

Working on a hat in shocking orange -Potimarron!- , that I probably won't feel comfortable wearing... Congrats on all of your many viewers and for being one of my absolute favourite knitting podcasts! Love from Sweden

[@wendybrookes1878]

I love the red or orange vest you have made. My colour lol...hope your friend loves it too. I am working on a Christmas sock for me. Just finished socks for my son’s father in law, who loves hand knit socks. He is turning 70 in a week, so they are for that milestone. His mother in law, who lived into her 98th yr, used to make him socks. So he is knitworthy!

[@d.h.6394]

Hello my dear Selma. I loved seeing your footage of Ireland. I'm glad you had a wonderful visit, there. Right now as I am watching your video I am knitting a pair of scrap socks. My mother finished a huge (!) chunk of my mitered square blanket and I gathered the tiny leftovers to make socks with them. Hugs to you!

[@judithyoder2386]

I am almost finishing up a Felix cardigan and continue to work on a Hipster shawl. I so enjoyed your discussion and video of your trip to Ireland. I'm going to Ireland in May with stops in Derry and Belfast, so I particularly liked hearing about and seeing your fiber-related stops. Hope to buy some great yarn while I'm there. Thank you so much.

[@terrywynn9767]

Somehow I missed this video. I found it this morning in the wee hours and thank you, what a blessing to watch in these uncertain times. Take care and thank you so much.

[@valeriafaber3415]

Hi Selma, it's always a real pleasure to hear from you. Presently I'm finishing a test knit of a sweater with a "back to '70" vibe. Ciao from Italy!

[@TheZencha]

Yay for the 6 K ✨🌺🍀 And YAY for the Ireland and glimpses of Kate as well :) Thank you! I see a wonderful celtic cable bands on that Irish wool sweater :) I am currently working on everything 🤣😀😜 couple of sweaters, test knit, skirts, many hats for gifts etc....as per usual 🤩😁 Hugs from Croatia

[@lisagimblett8646]

I started watching Kate's podcasts at Hawthorne's Cottage and was surprised to find that you and her are friends! I fell in love with her podcasts! Thank you for sharing your journey through Ireland... such rugged beauty.

[@edytheneumann4656]

Lovely footage of your trip to Ireland as well as the peaks at all the handmade things - thank you. I've just finished knitting mittens for my two teenage granddaughters for Christmas and posted them in the mail today - whew!

[@carolflynn2686]

My husband has requested a new hat so I have just cast on a Bankhead hat. Loved all the footage of Ireland!! So beautiful!

[@fidnielsen]

Hey girl, you passed my house to get to kilcar, I live in the fishing village before kilcar, it's called Killybegs, I'm delighted that you enjoyed your trip to Ireland, i was working with Donegal wool at work today, I work with the elderly, and they cannot knit with acrylics, or any other fibre content, only wool, that's what they grew up with, homespun wool. I'm working on an acrylic jumper at the moment, it's for one of my kids, and they insist I don't use wool for their jumpers, they'd only ruin them in the wash, or not wash them at all.😂🇨🇮☘️

[@laurenbaldwin4191]

Love the mug, love the Darnie, love the sock blockers, and you know why! And you finished the sweater from the retreat! Looks great. Orange is a great color on you -- not too zingy at all! Your N. Ireland video footage is so wonderful! I also will rewatch it.

[@nancylanders5086]

Congratulations on your podcast anniversary! Thank you for sharing your projects and Ireland trip. I love viewing videos of places I know I will never be lucky enough to visit, so your video is the second best thing to being there I’m currently finishing a sweater for my grandson’s first Christmas, then on to a cowl and fingerless mitts for myself. Have a great week Selma! and up coming holidays!

[@janebelchior522]

I somehow missed this episode! Your photos of your trip are spectacular. It was touching to see pictures of Larne as this is where my Grandfather was raised. I would love to do this retreat is it’s offered again. Thanks for sharing 🍀

[@joannecurrey860]

What a magnificent trip, thank you for sharing some of it with us. And it was nice to see Aiden too, he looks well. Blessings to you.

[@nancyallen4]

I'm working on Knitting Pure & Simple's Neckdown V Neck Shaped Cardigan using The Fibre Company's Road to China Light in Aquamarine as I watch this podcast. Loved, loved, loved your opening footage from your trip, with all the yarns and the wonderful street scenes. So atmospheric! So inspiring. Now I want to knit even more woolens than I had planned before I began watching! Thank you so much for sharing.

[@martakristinkongestl2733]

Hei Selma, I am knitting on a Christmas present... A hat and after I have finished this one it’s two more to knit.... It’s always nice watching your podcasts, hopefully you podcast for many more years 😊🇳🇴

[@veroave57]

So beautiful my paternal grandfather was from Northern Ireland, my grandmother from Southern Ireland Kerry which is absolutely gorgeous

[@stitchinchik]

Hello Selma..lovely to see you! I am working on the second sleeve of my Ursa. I have completed my gift knitting and I'm enjoying some knitting for me!

[@elsieoh]

I am knitting my fourth Ranunculus. This pattern and design is really so, so much fun to make. I never tire of it!

[@nancybwilborn6752]

I enjoyed your podcast so much. This is the first time I tuned, but I will definitely be back again.

[@aeastman59]

Selma what a pleasure it was listening to you talk today of your travels and your knitting projects! I agree theres something that doesnt seem to work about the 'vanilla' v-neck cardigan.... the red tunic vest looks amazing!! and your socks too! and thank you for sharing the special yarn with us as a chance for giveaway... I am working on a sweater called Steinkriger right now, it will be my first colorwork yoke norwegian type sweater

[@Handbagcrazystitches]

Can’t believe its been 21/2 years since you started podcasting. Ive been watching you from the beginning and before you had your own podcast. Here’s to many more. I’m currently working on my Christmas knitting, mostly socks and hats 😊

[@chrisamon1409]

I really enjoy your podcast. At the present I am knitting mittens, tons of them,. Big and small and different patterns. Some for family and the rest charity. They are quick and give a satisfying feeling

[@nicolasheehan1293]

What a lovely episode. Glad you had a great time in Ireland. I love Studio Donegal yarn. I'm knitting on a test knit for Jenn Steingass as I watch you, and finishing the border on a blanket that has been in he works for over two years!

[@danielleboots7032]

Yes , love the fingerless gloves. Right now I am working on a baby romper. Finished a blanket and jacket and need to do a cabled baby hat. Also, making gift cloths for friends and a pair of fingerless mitts to go with a cowl I made.

[@andrealandsburg8882]

Wonderful podcast Selma,thank you! I think that beautiful wool needs a less structured garment, such as Julie Hoover's Hayward, or a loose wrap sweater with a shawl collar...not fitted.. So I'm knitting Churchmouse's shoulder cosy with merino and kid silk for my SIL for Christmas! Take care!

[@pattijensvold1348]

Hello, I am making a reversible Christmas Scarf. After getting my Christmas knitting done, this is for me. By the way, the scenery of Ireland was absolutely amazing. Thank you for sharing...

[@tillymint6247]

Ah Selma congratulations on all your extra subscribers! You're a delight to watch! I loved the footage of your trip and it was so nice to see Kate in the footage. I'm secretly making a pair of socks for my husband for Christmas. I feel like I may need some extra help to get it finished in time (like the children's story, The Elves and The Shoemaker) or extra hours in my day!

[@Knitpulsive]

Beautiful video of your trip! Thank you for sharing. 😊 I always have numerous w.i.p.s but currently focusing on socks and slippers for my grandkids and my daughter. My granddaughter wants to be sure her slippers have a white bow on the front of her slippers. 🎀 How sweet! ✨

[@tyedyediva9671]

Thank you for sharing your adventure with us. That footage was breathtaking!

[@crazywooler]

Thank you for sharing your magical journey through Ireland - magnificent camera work, great music and so much beauty and delight. You've inspired me to travel there, back to the place of my ancestors. I love the color of the Americo yarn on you (the Edith sweater) by the way!! I'm knitting on the following Christmas gifts - the wending cowl in luscious m'yak, tuku honey socks in retrosaria mondim and frenet branca in green mountain spinnerys weekend wool.

[@throughthebackloop]

Hi Selma! So enjoy your podcast ... thanks for sharing your thoughts about your projects as you knit them! I also make changes and judgements along the way and it's fun to hear someone else's process. I'm currently knitting a little caplet for my daughter for Christmas -- it's the first time I've decided to make it up as I go. 🤞Thanks again for sharing your beautiful knitting with all of us!

[@martilynnsmiles]

Great Ireland footage and music accompaniment! LOVE the red sweater too 💕

[@marilynalberts4508]

I am working on my first complicated shawl with cables it is called the Anisah shawl it means good friend. I am gifting it to my sister who turned 60 and one to my daughter. It is very rewarding

[@elizabethl-m6979]

Thank you for sharing your trip and your latest projects with us. I'm always so happy when I see a new podcast from you! I am currently working on two colorwork hats for friends and a pair of festive socks for myself.

[@shetlandknit]

Loved the Ireland footage. Thank you! I visited so many places where you visited & reminded the wonderful trip in 2017. I started watching your podcast 6 days ago. I live in Los Angeles so it’s very rare to wear my knitting items but I love beautiful yarns & I enjoy your yarn acquisition.

[@rhondalenevez5192]

Hi Selma, I’m working through an Asa Tricosa Ziggurats design jumper. Her construction method is brilliant and I have high hopes that this will be my best fitting pullover ever. Congratulations on your podcast - one of my favourites!

[@MsRealYankee]

Congratulations on the 6000 members. I am busy working on socks for my son. He is very knit worthy.

[@sueemmons5658]

Thanks for sharing your trip with us! It's stunning country there! I picture my great-great -grandfather's family there. And I'm knitting some mitts and cowls for the holidays.I think the cardigan will look nice once you put a band on, you could choose a different band instead.

[@ericallerton809]

Lots and lots of socks on my needles,,,,,for Christmas gifts,,,, A crochet Blanket to finish,,,,,a shawl ,,,,cowls,,,, Wow,,,Too much,,,,, Lovely podcast,,,,,😍😍😍 Elaine in canada,,,,

[@dnorris4733]

I always have several projects on the needles. Right now a blanket for my newest grandchild, and two sweaters for me, Autumn League and Tegna. Loved your video of trip to Ireland and enjoy your knitted projects too! Congrats on 6000 subscribers!

[@shethasimon3441]

Like always top quality episode, wow! the photos of irland are stunning, thank you very much for sharing 💐, working on: socks, crochet blanket, roadside hat, and a yoyo quilt. All are WIP. 💐🧶

[@gayetyer2729]

Dishcloths by the dozen as gifts for friends. Like the look of the towel you made. That will be my next project.

[@gullmoli3]

Hi Selma, I want to start by say that I love your podcast and thank you for putting in the work for our enjoyment. Right now I am working on knitting fir trees that I am going to use to make my advent decoration. The trees are knit out of Jamieson of Shetland spindrift and very fun to make.

[@melindafisher1584]

Loved the footage at the end and the music....beautiful. We were in Scotland this Fall and the scenery is indeed captivating.

[@maesardsara]

I'm working on a sweater for myself, slowly but surely adding a bit every day. There's a lot of stitches for my size, so even getting two rows done is a good day.

[@denisewhite6390]

Thank you for another wonderful podcast. I think the red sweater you weren't sure on was a great color for you. You have inspired me to add Ireland to my travel bucket list.

[@kalicokathy1944]

Thank you for making this video. It’s a bit of Ireland that I love. I have knitted for years but haven’t got the talent you have to modify patterns.

[@marynolan6627]

Thank you for sharing. I haven't been to the north of Ireland since I was a teen. You have peaked my interest in returning there some day. Thanks you for sharing your journey.

[@KarininNC]

I’m knitting a sweater for me and one for my daughter. I loved seeing all the footage from Ireland.

[@jenniferhyer2147]

I am working on some Christmas gifts. Knitting socks for some very special people in my life. Thank you for your podcast!

[@nv325]

Dear Selma, your vest looks lovely and cozy and in my opinion the colour suits you a lot! But I hope your friend loves it too and will get the wonderful and generous present from you. Today I am finishing my love note sweater (with a strand of mohair, ssshhhh...). I spend my knitting time mostly frogging, in between working on my new house, so that is not surprising, nor I regret it. :-) Thank you for sharing your trip with us! I hope you enjoy the end of this year!

[@michellerudy504]

Yes, put the show notes in the down bar area, please. Your version of the Edith cardigan inspired me to download the pattern. P.S. Enjoyed the views of Northern Ireland, and the YARN. My husband is still wearing two sweaters purchased in Donegal about 1985.

[@karleenpage5979]

I was working on a Soldotna Crop, but have set it aside to try to finish some Christmas gifts. I will probably crochet most of them because it's so much faster for me! I love the yarn for your Ranunculus! Congrats on reaching 6K! The yarn you showed is lovely. Your footage from Ireland is amazing! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@Lauricson007]

Hello, Selma! I'm currently working on my 3rd Cumulus Blouse by Petitknit which I'm planning to keep because the other two ended up to my daughter. Greetings from Romania! Awesome episode and you two ladies look perfectly sober after that whiskey! ;)

[@gaylepinchott6663]

I am working on knitted dishcloths while watching your lovely podcast. Thank you for sharing your trip to Ireland. Beautiful country!

[@smithj2125]

I am working on my first knitted sock with my personal hand dyed yarn while watch this episode. Of course this only one of my many projects knitting, crocheting, spinning and sewing! Thank you for your inspiration and sharing your trip to Ireland. Ireland is definitely on the list to visit.

[@skalar9]

It is almoust impossible not to knit anything, at least in my case. So now I am finishing a Kardigan, a pair of socks and a autumn dress. I hope I will finish everything before the winter comes at our doors😀 your podcast is lovely😉

[@joannecrate1486]

Love your podcast. You inspired me to knit my first sweater 8 months ago. TPCT. I’ve knit 3 sweaters since. Currently working on gifts hats, mitts and teeny tiny long Johns. 👏🙏🏼💕🇨🇦

[@siobhanhackett9593]

Hi Selma. I’m glad that you enjoyed your trip to Ireland . Kate is lovely company. Your podcast is beautiful. I am working on Selenite sweater at the moment and can’t wait to be wearing it.

[@willameena66]

My current knitting projects for me lad are socks and a shawl for gifts . My sewing projects are a blouse and a hoodie cardigan. Loved the video and the little red door at the end . Thanks for sharing makes me wanna go to Ireland now.

[@cassiestrawbridge7581]

I am knitting a Ranunculus and I'm so close to finishing. I could very easily see myself knitting another. Great podcast and lovely footage of Ireland.

[@lupepedraza8497]

What a treat to see the beautiful footage of Ireland! Stunning trip one day I'll make too.

[@mariahughes1360]

Love their yarn...I have. Few skeins I need to get out of my stash and find a project...maybe the mitts. Thanks for the pattern suggestion. Love the Ireland footage...went on my honeymoon 37 years ago!

[@joanneyoung5410]

Congratulations on the milestone Selma. I have had a lot of sweater mojo but recently have been knitting hats and socks and have really enjoyed them. I'm currently working on the last of my gift knits which is another hat. There is some lovely yarns waiting for me to cast on at the beginning of the month The red looks great on you x

[@anneburgess9306]

I just love that podcast... I am so looking forward to going to Ireland to knit and hike! Thank you for sharing that trip! And as always I love your regular podcast features!

[@natalialealbrotons1264]

Muchas gracias Selma, me ha encantado viajar a Irlanda. Qué privilegio, ahora mismo!! 💗💗

[@Billie-]

First timer. Lovely. Finishing up a shawl for hubby.

[@CookwithCatalina]

Hi Selma! I am new on your channel here. I just joined the KAL on Ravelry as knittanew2. Thank you for showing us images from your trip! There are such beautiful places on this planet and having sheep roaming around must be so beautiful to see...Cheers! ~Catalina

[@ruthlee2752]

Just finished your podcast with my husband, What wonderful footage of Ireland.

[@carmellahill5849]

Hi Selma. I live in a small town in northern Alberta. None of my friends knit so I very much depend on you and other podcasters to feel involved in the knitting community. I’m finishing up a second sock, am halfway through a cotton/linen blend cardigan for next summer and will be starting a Papillon shawl soon. I will also be starting a Weekender sweater after Christmas. Thank you for your great podcasts. I loved the tour of Ireland.

[@dianeazzopardi6269]

Love seeing Ireland through your eyes. I'm working on two pairs of socks and the Arboreal sweater. Love watching your podcast.

[@jo-annoconnor3]

First time here. What a treat to see video/pictures of Ireland with knitting inspiration thrown in for good measure. I'm finishing up 2nd sleeve of a pullover. Neck band left to do. Using Caron X Pantone's Purple Mist to knit it.

[@hazelgrant4199]

Loved my trip to Ireland too. I’m working on small items right now-fingerless mitts and scarves. Getting back into knitting after years away. Loving it

[@gailhenderson3294]

Oh Selma. Wow!! It was a joy to meet you at the retreat. The rest of your trip looked truly magical. You have such a good eye for photography!!! And... knitting at the Giants Causeway?? You are a rock star. 😘😘😘

[@sheilaneedham6168]

I am so happy when a new podcast from you shows up in my subscriptions and this one was really extra special. Loved the knitting segments and the beautiful Irish footage afterwards. I said to my husband, oh look she went to Bushmills, which is our favourite Irish Whisky! Thank you for taking the time to put this segment together, all of it was very enjoyable.

[@heatherdaly4195]

Just discover you on KZbin and absolutely enjoying watching this. Currently I am knitting a hat and also a pair of socks. Thank You!

[@nancywillick5737]

Hi Selma, thank you for the breathtaking video of Ireland I really loved it. I think you look great in red, just saying! I am working on a cowl that has a bunch of different stitches throughout, it's so fun. Thanks again!!

[@lillianshemet9960]

CIam knitting two pair of socks of West Yorkshire Spinners for each of my great Daughters In Law. Your podcast is inspiring.

[@jennifershipley5346]

A lovely episode! I think your beautiful Irish grey wool would look fabulous as a Ginsberg by Norah Gaughan. I'm working on a test knit sweater right now but hope to cast on a Ginsberg very soon. Thanks for taking us to Ireland with you!

[@juliacardiff3339]

Another lovely podcast. Thank you for sharing your talents. I really enjoy all your opening video montages.

[@bleemenne]

So sorry to hear that Bijou Basin has closed! And I never got a chance to try their yarn, so perhaps this is my opportunity. As to what I am knitting: I am swatching for a pullover for my 3-year-old granddaughter, who requested a pink pullover. I’m using some of my own handspun-a Romney fleece I bought at New Hampshire Sheep & Wool a few years back. It’s a natural beigey-white, which I’ll overdye once the project is complete. Hope to have it done for Christmas. Thanks for your podcast, Selma! Loved the Irish footage at the beginning of this episode!

[@libh8956]

Thankfully you podcast for our delight! I am working on socks two sweaters and crocheting a Bumble the abominable snowman. There might be a few other things...

[@caroll4514]

Hi Selma. I’m working on the second sleeve of the Gwenevere Cardigan, by Jennifer Wood. And some Christmas socks, and just starting the first sleeve of “Paulie” by Isabell Kraemer. I do not think your sweater is too boring. It lends itself to be a great backdrop for a splash of color at the neck. When the bands are finished and blocked and it has some interesting buttons, it should be great as long as the fit is right. Can’t wait to see it finished.

[@craftybubulina8834]

Beautiful images from Ireland, a dream country... Loved your projects and the yarn, I am curently finishing my eleven-th Bring me home hat, which will be a Christmas gift. Thank you for the giveaway and I wish you many more episodes!

[@mariawadensten7770]

So many subscribers! Awesome! Your Edith is stunning and the colour is amazing! ❣️
