[@user-pl2lr3qe3i]

My favourite place to walk is Shorne Country Park - just makes me feel calm and relaxed and in a familiar place all at the same time. But it is very hard to choose, because I also love to walk by the sea, along the shore, pretty much any shore but around Broadstairs is one of my favourite spots. And my favourite place to knit and crochet is in my Dad's old chair in my Mum's living room, in the house where I grew up (many years ago). It's comfy and by the window and in front of the TV and by the bookshelves and coffee table for all my yarn bits and pieces. Love it! Mum sits across from me by the fireplace and knits along with me ❤😊

[@YvonneJohnston-on8ib]

[@Carola-By-The-Bay]

My favorite place to walk is our Sweet Springs Audubon bird sanctuary, just across the road. We are so fortunate to live near so much Nature! 🥰 My favorite place to Knit and Crochet is sitting on my bed, Zoey dog curled up beside me. Outside my bedroom window is a busy bird feeder, a bird bath, pink honeysuckle vines and, beyond, an open field. Occasionally, a horse or a coyote will pass by. I call this my Nest. 🧶🌻

[@LittleDropsofWonderful]

Oh wow! That sounds beautiful xx

My favorite place to walk is our local park. There is a fair size pond with a story walk maintained by our public library that surrounds the pond.

This park is really close to our home so we don't need to drive first in order to walk.😊 Love your pocasts!

My favourite place to walk is in a forest just five minutes walk from where I live . I go there regularly to escape from reality to ground myself. I talk to my favourite tree and it talks back to me by making creaky noises . Your yarn reminds me of the forest colours and I would love to make socks or a scarf to remind of the magic in the forest, .

[@elaineenstone6834]

[@margaretrodee3519]

[@hudfamfour]

My favorite place to walk is anywhere in the woods! My favorite place to knit/crochet is in my late mom’s recliner in my little corner of my house.

[@gillianjohnson4230]

My favourite place to walk is around Swansea Bay. Starting at the Marina, walking past the Waterfront Museum, the lifeboat station and around the bay itself to the pier at Mumbles is always so interesting and varied depending on weather, tides, season. Stopping to have a cup of coffee or ice cream at one of several lovely locales and/or walking through Singleton Park makes for varied experiences. Then of course there is the option of finishing up at Swansea market to buy something nice for lunch or tea! A great place.

Your daughter's blanket is looking incredible, it will be wonderful. I love how into cross stitch you are getting the David attenborogh piece looks awesome. My favorite place to hike is probably Wilson's Prom, where my family and I camped every summer when I was a kid. It's a big national park with a bunch of different walks, including along the coast, up (small) mountains, and through valleys. My dad, sister and I even went on a 3 day hike a few years back which was challenging but really rewarding.

[@StitchcraftGiftsHarrogate]
