My First Knitting Podcast | First Time Designer | Ruby and Roses #1

[@sandramcinnis-fibreinsanity]

You are an amazing anomaly! I love seeing a 17 year old loving the fibre arts. You are more advanced in all you do than the average 40 year old 😂. You give me faith in our future generation. Go get ‘em girl!

[@laduke4324]

You are a natural and so advanced for your 16 years, amazing!!

[@friendoblu]

I've been a knitter for about 15 years (ie since you were one :>) Before the pandemic, I was really into knitting vlogs. Somehow, I couldn't watch them during the pandemic. I'm now getting back to knitting vlogs and have run across so many younger people who are really inspiring me. You take the cake! I had to go back and listen again when you stated your age. Wow! You are making the most of your life, it seems, doing what you love to do. That is such a cool thing to put out into the world! I'm also a teacher. Your story reminds me of what I want to put out into the world and what I hope for my students - that they will just follow their passions and play. Thank you!

[@thenappyewe]

You, my dear, are amazing! At 16, you are already inspiring people. I love your personality and demeanor. Your voice is so welcoming and you pulled me in. I will check out your yarns and I look forward to your next episode. Wow! I’m still blown away! You go girl! Blessings!

[@cindik8631]

You are an amazing sixteen year old! How proud your family must be of you. I was eager to watch, as this was your first podcast. You did a great job. I am curious to learn your history of knitting. How did you learn? Does someone in your family share your creative passion? How do you find the time to complete all of your endeavors? I am very impressed with your knowledge, your composure, your podcasting skills in general and of course your talent! Best wishes for continued success. Btw, don’t let anyone bring you down...ever!

[@cynthiasheriff1296]

I know everyone is saying how in awe of you they are, how shocked they are that you're only 16, amazed that you're so talented, and that your podcast is inspiring, but you know what? Everyone is right. I feel so much better, knowing that I'm not alone in wanting to have more than a couple of WIPs at a time. Your knitting is simply gorgeous! I'm a process knitter, as well, but I've only been knitting for around a year (even though I'm old enough to be your grandmother) and it has become my therapy, my escape, my soul food, etc. Your dyed yarn is just spectacular, and I want one of each! Or maybe a shawl/sweater quantity of each? Yeah. Bless you, (and your family for having raised such a wonderful soul). Looking forward to future podcasts!

[@candyminton2524]

I am with both of you. I love the process and am happier with several 6 to 8 projects on the needles of different kinds . i am always happy when i am knitting and never wishing will this ever end like other knitters i know

[@fannybaud2559]

I am so glad I got to meet such an amazing knitter of my age! I've been pn a long knitting slump, but I am know more motivated than ever, and you boost me! Thank you, and your knitting is wonderful

[@alfiesflower8218]

Really pleased I found your channel, your knitting is amazing. God bless to you me lovely 🧶🧶🧶💞💞💞

[@friendshipjoy9841]

Wow! Your first podcast and already so many views!! Well done! Beautiful yarns, and the gorgeous Stephen West shawl! We are excited to see more of your work! :)

[@blueammonitedesigns]

Sixteen! OMG, I'm in awe of your courage and talent. Love this episode. I too like to have lots of projects on the go at the same time, that way I don't get bored and enjoy every moment of knitting and crochet.

[@jennymiles4426]

Re your 'All of the Lights' cardigan - you won't want to hear this but the only way to get a good fit is to knit a good sized swatch, block it and see if you get gauge. And if you don't then try another needle size and repeat . It doesn't really matter what other knitters think about the pattern as everyone knits differently and every yarn varies - you must know this already, being a sweater knitting veteran. Good luck with it - the colour will look beautiful on you. The one thing I have found , esp with Superwash yarn, is that the sweater often ends up growing. This might not apply to you as a tight knitter though - But for me, I now always err on the side of being smaller rather than larger, I find the end result more flattering esp in DK or thicker yarn.

[@barbmckinlay3400]

I enjoyed your latest podcast so much I’m now watching all the rest. I love your taste in yarn and projects. Keep up the fantastic work.

[@ginettevallieres604]

I totally agree with you about having many projects on the go. It’s so much more fun to be able to just pick up whatever you feel like working on. My husband always says, it’s suppose to be fun so go have fun and do what you feel like doing! So if I feel like starting a new project, I start a new project! 😂

[@quilt4fun]

Wonderful podcast! Your shawl choices are great and Lach& Lou is a favorite 💕 keep podcasting !

[@SewraymeUk]

Wow what an inspiration you are! Your shop update looks gorgeous, I don’t see why you can’t have Christmas named yarn in your shop all year round? The cable cardigan you want to knit looks amazing, I’m looking forward to watching you create this, and your butterfly kisses yarn is so lovely 💕.

[@soniadosanjh6363]

You are so sweet and lovely. How inspiring to all the youngsters out there! only 16! I absolutely loved watching you. Well done. God bless. xx

[@racheldye]

Oh my days you are the loveliest. What a simply gorgeous podcast, inspiring this 40-something over here! xx

[@sharonarrendale8418]

You are a pro! You are a natural. Good job young lady. I truly enjoyed your blog.

[@wendycastelli6254]

You are amazing!! You're not only an amazing knitter and yarn dyer, but you seem like such a beautiful, genuine person as well! So glad I finally found your podcast and shop! (Thank you, Bella of Hundred Acre Wool.) :) I just placed my first order from your shop, and I can't wait to see your beautiful yarn in person. Also looking forward to watching your other KZbin videos. Best wishes to you for continued success and an amazing career in the fiber arts industry!

[@talitharitter3176]

You should call the first one the “My Way” cowl since people can knit with so many different colours and every one will be different.

[@ellenkennedy796]

great idea👌

[@cathyakacrazyknittingnana]

I am so impressed with you. A dyer at 16 as well as an awesome knitter. I learned to knit when I was 7 yrs old but didn't stick with it and learned to cross stitch when I was 10 and did that for 20 yrs until my son came along and I packed everything up then at 36 yrs old I re-learned to knit and love it. I am a 55 yr old nana.

[@cathyakacrazyknittingnana]

Did your parents help you get started with your dying? Does your family help you or do you do it all on your own? Where do you do your dying?

[@sharonking7978]

I believe you are 16 going on 25. You are a great natural podcaster. I am amazed at how many subscribers you have acquired in such a short time and others may have a few hundred after two years. You are doing something right so keep it up. Great projects. I love that Apple Cider colorway. I will be coming back for more and look forward to the next one.

[@amsewcrafty]

I enjoyed listening to your calming voice. Great job 👍🏽👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽.

[@victoriapileski3966]

I also was very impressed with your self confidence and possession for hosting your 1st episode you rocked it!!

[@michellet4407]

Yes, you are very talented . I like your use of green and red, and of color. Tell us about your project bags. Very enjoyable video. podcast.

[@wilmadeboer7436]

A great podcast! You are so experienced for 16, please tell us about your family and knitting history! Wish I had the courage to knit in church.

[@debbiemerkley5218]

Wonderful podcast Addyson!! You are an inspiration, keep up the great work!

[@mlenox60]

[@chrisannafagan4189]

You have done a wonderful job for your first podcast !!! CONGRATS !!! I luv luv luv all of your Colors and the exotic names for them. I also knit an crochet. My grandmother taught me when I was 5 years old and I am so grateful that she did !!! I must try one of your shawl patterns. They are just beautiful !!!

[@emmafoster2268]

Such a lovely, easy to watch podcast! Thank you for sharing your craft. I especially love that you have multiple WIPS, and your lovely bags displayed on the coat hooks behind you. I always have lots of projects on the go because I get bored very easily (ADHD - I'm either completely obsessed with a project or fed up with it!). I'm going to use your lovely idea to organize my WIPS, my family will thank you so much! Looking forward to the next podcast x

[@corlissyamasaki3476]

You are just amazing!!! Beautiful colors and shawls! I found you when I was searching for flicking videos. Did not realize you are 16 years old! Wow.

[@AriesCrochetwithlove]

I don't know that am the only girl who love yarn over dresses bag and shoes 😊

[@vickyworley6974]

Lov this podcast!! You do beautiful knitting.

[@monikajoyner2265]

So young and so experienced already! I see a great career in the fibre world for you. I'm looking forward to your next episode already. Thank you so much for sharing your yarn love with us. And big thanks to your family who seems to let you be like you are. You are amazing!

[@kristinekinigson1949]

You are so amazing for such a young knitter and dyer! Excellent first podcast. I look forward to seeing your designs and more podcasts, too. Thank you!

[@bethanykarlsson3074]

I'm so inspired! I've been struggling to teach myself to knit. Time for me to push myself. You will go far in life and I am looking forward to watching your journey. So much talent and so incredibly sweet! I love that you have all those WIPs. I do the same thing with crochet projects. I get bored easily and I like to go back and forth. I usually finish three projects at a time because of the way I work.

[@michaelbloomquist2238]

Yes all knitting and other crafts love it looking forward for more podcast !!! And God bless ur skills ☺️

[@majbrittdam8022]

Great podcast, Looking forward to the next one. Beautiful yarn you dye 😊

[@isarose3136]

Hi Addyson! You showed up on my KZbin homepage as a suggestion and I'm glad I clicked! Welcome to Podcasting! I did about 3 and then quit because it's a lot of work. I thought you were maybe in your late 20's! You sure have done a lot of work (knitting, dyeing etc) for someone so young! And I noticed from your Etsy page, you are very near where my Dad grew up (Bourbon)....and we've been thinking about moving back there. Good luck with your podcasting!!

[@wonderwilly100]

Wonderful 1st podcast.

[@clarewoodland5729]

Your yarn colours are beautiful. I love them all ! 😀❤

[@kathyevans6260]

WOW! I’m truly impressed by your knowledge and talent. You’ve found your calling so young! Reading all the comments you have and already have thousands of subscribers!! Congratulations!! I love that so many others like having numerous projects going at a time. I always feel guilty when I cast on something new. I need to change my attitude to enjoy each one and love them all. Thank you for your podcast and I await your next one!! You go girl!!!!

[@suceeq67]

You are such an inspiration, right now I only crochet but been thinking about knitting. The colorways you have are so beautiful! Looking forward for your future videos.🧶

[@shereewaddell3417]

Love your podcast. The shawls are beautiful. Happy knitting

[@carolg.6838]

I really enjoyed your 1st podcast and subscribed. You are enthusiastic and a good speaker,. Your projects are gorgeous. The yarn you dye is eye candy! So many colorways. I enjoyed hearing the yarn names. The shawl with Christmas Tree green and Cedar was a color combination I would not have put together and I sure like it.

[@renepainter7166]

Your yarn and projects are gorgeous!! Your colorways resonate with me so much. I look forward to more of your podcasts❤️

[@TheMakingPodcast]

Hi Addyson, great job with your first episode! I am happy to subscribe and to check out your Etsy shop, I too am a Jesus lover! Keep up the great work!

[@thaisoneon]

Congratulations on a lovely podcast and lovely yarns and makes. I’ve subscribed but hope you can even out the sound in future episodes. Sometimes you speak up but other times your voice is so soft I can’t make out what you’re saying. Show notes or showing us the pattern name and designer name in writing would be helpful. (These aren’t meant to be criticisms but only suggestions!) good luck and I’ll be watching for your next video.

[@lauralea86]

You seem so mature and accomplished. So impressed with your podcast and your knitting skills are outstanding. Look forward to what is to come.

[@mikierickson9142]

You are so very talented! I just can’t get over it!!! I have been crocheting for 18 years and I have only been knitting for a year now. I have all the supplies to make the birds of a feather shawl but I am pretty nervous to start it. It is definitely going to get done this year when I get up the nerve to start it lol. I really enjoyed this video. Thank you!

Hi Addison! I loved this video! Your energy is wonderful and your passion for yarn and knitting is obvious. I think you’re going to do great at this KZbin thing. Love all your shawls and may have to watch again to write down the names of a couple of them. Can’t wait to see more of your videos!

Lovely podcast new subscriber. I learnt to knit and crochet at a young age and still love it at 58

For you Christmas Mini skein set, you could always make up two labels. Keep the Christmas one and call the other Christmas in July. That way you can keep selling them year round :)

It will be interesting and fun to watch you grow in your talents.

[@clbedwell]

the Advent Calendar wrap is gorgeous!

Way to go on finishing your Advent calendar project. I am 1/3 finished with mine.

[@knit10instone79]

Loved your first episode!!! Like you had been doing this for ages 👍😊 for the Joji Design, cardigan, I would swatch to ensure a good fit. Including washing and blocking the swatch... Then you can compare the gauge and see exactly if going up a size will do the trick! Good success!

[@simonemaffey5845]

You are blowing me away and inspiring me to pick up my needles again, after having crocheted for about a year, in preference to knitting Awesome first video and heading over to have a peek at your Etsy shop now Koala hugs from Australia💕🐨
