[@helenmitchell4335]

So lovely to have you back Emma, it was such a treat to sit and crochet whilst watching your podcast this morning. I love the shawl and ooo those earrings are so cute! Jewellery making is another one of my hobbies so it would be great to fuse the two together! Looking forward to your next podcast. Take care, Helen x

[@Lululovescrochet]

Thank you Helen, I would like to do more jewellery making as I really enjoyed making the earrings. Do you do silver work or bead jewellery? I may look for a beginners book! Em 💕

[@angelacrackett8444]

Hi Emma, I've been watching your vlogs for a few months. I'm still not caught up but I'm getting there😊 I just had to tell you my hubby bought me your book for Christmas and I love it. Hubby watched 1 of your vlogs with me and he ordered the book the next day. I was so excited when I opened it. Decisions decisions on what to make 1st. I'm not the most confident crocheter but I do try to challenge myself. I did make the stylecraft Boho blanket in the summer with a bit of help from a friend and I'm quite proud of myself😊 I loved making it. I'm a lot more confident knitter. Looking forward to trying some of your patterns. You make some beautiful projects. so talented😊 I've just messaged you on Ravelry introducing myself. Stay safe xx

[@katiej.fromminnesota8301]

Oh my gosh...too funny!!! Im crazy about crochet earings right now too!!!im trying to crochet a pair to match each dress i own and each top. So I've done about 10 pairs and I want to crochet about 30 more pairs!!! They are soooo much fun!!! My husband adores my earings too!!! That flower book looks amazingly beautiful 🌻🥀🌷I am a book lover! An actual book in my hands feels so divine! My husband, children, Books and yarn....awwwwww =life is beautiful!

[@Lululovescrochet]

Oh I feel exactly the same, books, yarn, family and I’m in my happy place 💕 Thank you xx

[@OnTheHookCrochetwithJeanne]

Have missed your podcasts. Love this one with the reviews of all your new books. Happy crocheting!❤️

[@Lululovescrochet]

Thank you so much, I’ve missed you all 💕

[@valerieellison2483]

I agree. If you've never seen a plant or critter before and you're trying to identify it from a painting, or drawing, the smallest difference in color or shape can totally throw you off. It's much more accurate to identify from a picture.

[@karenkoutsoumbaris6308]

Loved this video , Thankyou Emma, I bought the micro crochet book! Happy reading and crochet!

[@Lululovescrochet]

Thank you, it really is such a lovely book, packed full of lovely motifs 💕

[@sandrabrown5970]

It's so lovely to have you back, it seems like ages since we've seen you but life and time runs away with us doesn't it. As always your podcast was a joy to watch thank you ♥️

[@Lululovescrochet]

I’m sorry to have been away so long! I’ve missed this lovely community 💕 sending love, Em

Literally making the kerchief head scarf from years ago now! Thank you so much for publishing again, I love it!

[@ineedvicky]

Update: Made it, love it! Posted to ravelry yesterday!

[@Lululovescrochet]

Thank you! So happy you enjoyed it xx

[@sharendeardorff7235]

Thank you for another wonderful podcast. I mostly knit, but have been dabbling in crochet. I bought your beautiful book and am trying to decide which pattern to crochet first. ❤️

[@Lululovescrochet]

Oh thank you so much, that is lovely to hear. I keep dabbling in knitting but it definitely isn’t coming as easy to me as crochet does! Em 💕

[@clairerobinson6571]

What a treat! Your shawl is gorgeous... I was inspired to finally knit the headband from the Mel Clarke book after watching your last podcast - such a sweet pattern, but it doesn't suit me. So happy to send it to you! Happy New week

[@Lululovescrochet]

Ohh Claire yes please I would love it! Thank you so much 💕 Em xx

[@julielines3281]

Hi lovely to see you x love your shawl it’s beautiful it’s made me want to do mine now not that I need to start anything else I have enough on the go lol x

[@Lululovescrochet]

Hehe I know that problem well! 💕

[@samanthaavenant6725]

I literally just wanted to comment on your previous podcast when can we kindly request a podcast, you have such a kind hearted effect on this hectic time. Thank you for bringing such a calm effect over a heavy 3rd wave that South Africa is experiencing. Laboratory life is getting hectic, again.

[@Lululovescrochet]

Hello Samantha, thank you for your lovely comment. I can only imagine how hectic it has been for you, sending lots of love your way. Em xx

[@diannej7563]

Hello Emma, so wonderful to see you here again. I call you my English Rose 🌹 I enjoyed your book reviews, and I must see if we can get ‘The pursuit of Love’ tele-series down here. Glad you are all well. Happy June, love from Dianne in Melbourne 💞

[@Lululovescrochet]

Hello Dianne, thank you so much. Yes you must try and watch it, it’s beautiful. Sending love from the U.K. all the way to Melbourne 💕Em x

[@diannej7563]

You’re very welcome Emma. Thank you too for your kind reply. I was thrilled to hear from you. I also follow you on Insta. If you see ‘Flourishwithflowers’, that will be me 🙋🏻‍♀️😘

[@teacup6175]

Another enjoyable podcast. Thank you for sharing and taking the time to do these, always so calming and encouraging and a joy to watch. Take care.

[@nannymoonscrochet]

I have just recently bought Hello Hexie, haven't made anything yet but I agree the fingerless gloves are adorable , X

[@abigail5048]

happy to see u!

[@maureenflitcroft8430]

I’ve just read The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue after watching your earlier podcast when you mentioned it being on your “to read” list. I enjoyed it very much so thanks for the recommendation 😊 Like you I’ve also re-read The Pursuit of Love and, I’ve also re-read Love in a Cold Climate (another wonderful book) and I’m currently reading The Blessing also by Nancy Mitford. I enjoy the interwar period and her writing style, with the subtle humour. Your shawl is lovely and I just might make one myself. I always look forward to your podcasts and long may they continue. 😀x

[@Lululovescrochet]

Thank you so much. I do love Nancy Mitfords writing, although I’ve not read the Blessing so I will look out for that. Have you read ‘letters between sisters’? It shares the letters written over the years between the Mitford sisters - it’s such a good read. Em 💕

[@maureenflitcroft8430]

@@Lululovescrochet I haven’t read Letters between sisters, but I’ve just downloaded it from Amazon to my Kindle. Thanks for letting me know about it. I’ve also reserved Christmas Pudding by Nancy Mitford from my local library via the BorrowBox app. You might like to look out for this too. Too many books to read and not enough time 😂 Xx

[@thorablin]

If you are new to knitting it's best to start with the strippy top, it wil help with practicing and up your speed and it looks super easy and straight forward even if it's bigger and I suggest wooden needles, it's not as slippery 😃 the second thing I knitted was a sweater and it was so much easier than you would think🤗

[@Lululovescrochet]

Thank you, yes I thought that when I looked at it, I think I need to practice the basic stitches before I try and move on 🤣 I’ll have a look for some wooden needles, thank you 💕

[@thorablin]

@@Lululovescrochet no prob, love watching your channel, to practice just do washcloths in the stitches you want to learn😉🤗 works awesomely 🥳❤️

[@karenlopez681]

I do not understand rows 21-23 of the lacy headscarf - per the photos my work looks right after completing rows 8-11 2x (= 3 sets of rows 8-11). What am I missing - seems like there should be another row 8 if I am to work 1 tc into next 6 tc???

[@jojomoran4683]

What weight yarn did you use for the Awana shawl and about how many yards or meters?

[@Lululovescrochet]

I used Drops Nord which is a 4ply (50g =170m) I think I used about 4 balls xx
