Love in Stitches Episode 141 | Knitty Natty | Knit and Crochet Podcast

[@hollypressfibers]

Thank you for ending with "you deserve it." Coming from a family where the message was clearly stated, "you don't deserve anything; you earn it," I think it is extremely important to differentiate between earning and deserving our down time. Checking in on our own mental health, self care, and relaxation are not earned, but deserved. Thank you for another great episode!

I love the pooling/flashing on the Something Cozy! I also love that it’s different from the front to the back but the color is so pretty, that you kind of have two sweaters in one.

[@kristinchowanec9512]

Thank you Natalie for being an inspiration both personally and with your knitting! I'm a teacher nearing the end of another long school year and I agree that knitting is more than a craft. ♡

I really appreciate you speaking up about what has happened this past week. It’s not something you had to speak on but it’s amazing that you did.

[@debraevans2839]

The shawl yarn will be perfect to sew up seams on jumper

[@rachelraye285]

I really enjoyed your channel and agree about the self care. Crocheting and knitting had given me so much support. Taking the time to browse through yarn or patterns or spending an hour or two creating something news has been incredible. So glad to have your channel to share my love for this amazing craft

[@rachelraye285]

@knittynatty, the last part of your show, you are wearing a grey cardigan? Could you share if it is from a pattern and if so, the name?

[@labethbrewer]

I relate so much to what you’re saying about the summers! I’m from Tennessee and Arkansas but moved to Canada in 2020. The spring and summers are wonderful because they are not miserably hot!

[@lesliecorey6565]

You’re such a kind person, thanks for sharing your knitting!

[@Bexsar92]

Thanks for another lovely episode. I really enjoy your podcast! :) love watching your projects and your color choices.

For seaming, you do bot need a strong yarn. When we seam necklines in Norway, many of us just divide the yarns into the small strands and use only one thin strand to fold and seam down the neckline and other elements. You have to take care when you seam, but it will not break after you finish as the seam has many points that all hold up the fold together thus become super strong. I would use the thin fluffy yarn personally as it glides easily. Love your sweater!

[@sarahmaiers1338]

I love watching your channel each week. Your comment about mental health is so true. We all focus on taking care of our bodies and eating healthy we forget our mind needs love to. I’m coming up on my year anniversary of mental health care in my life and it’s the best thing we can do for ourselves.

[@esthermoses1673]

Love all your projects you are working on. Love Chelsea luxe sweater her yarn is so good.

[@peggyisme]

I love how the sweater came out it looks planned and looks awesome

[@mimih6527]

I love the change in yarn coloring between the front & back on your Something Cozy top!!! I think it looks like a design choice!! Enjoy its beauty!!!

[@jilljarvis94]

Your cozy sweater looks so good! I actually really like the striping on the back!

[@cindymswyo]

Just purchased your yarn cozy’s patterns. I am on my second one trying to get it done for a new KAL sweater that is starting soon. They are fun to do.

Hi Natalie, just to echo everyone else here, I love your podcasts and all the work you do. Your knitting is amazing… and I’m grateful for your virtual weekly company whilst I knit too. I appreciate your generosity podcasting frequently and regularly. I’ve followed other podcasters in the past who blogged or podcasted regularly to start with and then, after building a substantial following, they become much less frequent. It must require a lot of time as well as technological skills to do what you do, so thank you. Your call on looking after our mental well-being is soo true. Would be grateful if you could reply to send me a with a link to one of those therapists that you refer. Many thanks, CSC

[@janeanderson3905]

I love your Yarn Cozy patterns. They are so fun to knit and so great to use!

[@sherikoehler732]

Mental health is SO important to take care of. If a person needs to take downtime and knit! Do it. It is proven to be therapeutic. If one doesnt knit...use something else as a coping skill. It is not earned...it is a must for well being.

[@pppetra]

Love the something cozy. Maybe you could seam it with the wol met verve leftover?

[@chrissy24-7]

You outstranding shawl came out so beautiful 🥰. Amen on counting your goals and finding positive affirmations to combat the horrors going on . Knitting really is helpful too! ❤️

[@dieboervroumariette]

Thank you for another inspirational episode. Love the way you set goals for your knitting. Recently organized my WIPS and set some goals to get them finished by the end of this year. Have a great week!

[@onesweetlife2469]

Your monthly knitting goals have been so inspirational! I now plan goals each month and I’ve gotten so much accomplished! Thank you!

[@kayefudge9469]

Hi Natalie I'm loving your projects you are working on at the moment and the colours you have chosen, very enjoyable to watch Kaye x

[@samanthacross3523]

I use three needle bind off a lot as well as russian bind off . They give lovely structure and look so neat

[@jenniferwatson9489]

[@janetjroberson2581]

Hello from Mounds Illinois!

[@zarac2107]

[@beckywhitt7356]

Your crochet sweater is beautiful.

[@marlalena8598]

I was waiting for this one ❤️ Thank you for keeping me company

[@yvettepritchard3983]

Hey girl great video can you do a video on showing how to use raverly please I want to try it but confused

[@krislind7094]

So excited for the Unda, my friend and I got the pattern and were going to make it our own summer knit along. The pattern looks a bit intimidating, please tell me it looks harder than it is, lol.

[@krislind7094]

Oh and I'm about 1/3rd through the outstanding shawl... don't think I'll get it done by the close date but it's a lot of fun to knit.

[@beckywhitt7356]

You need some colorful throws on your bed behind you. ❤️

[@hmbutler13]

Do you have a link for the shop with the Dino progress keeper that you had on the Tesselation Tee?

[@StitchingStories1]

Thank you this joyful and motivational episode is just what I needed :) Other that work and life, I also seems to struggle to get patterns to work as from March this year -I never had this problem before. So have have put them all away in the cupboard and took out and old bottom-up pattern - nothing fancy, just to something that will make me feel "I can still knit and finish something" I really hope it works. umm do you have lace weight garment patterns that worked for you, please share if you do. Have a beautiful week and all the best with your business.

[@fokesingh3500]

You might have enough left of your Chelsea Luxe and mohair to make her Chelsea in Paris Baret! Is that not exactly the same yarn and almost same color as in her pattern?

[@ArchitectFoFo]

Natalie , do you have any tips for when starting the tessellation tee , I want to start mine but I don't really know how to understand the pattern
