Your yarn turned out lovely. The different shades from the breeds add a unique depth to it. Can't wait to see it stitched up. I was concerned Heidi's wag lacked it usual enthusiasm, so I'm glad you included her popping over to the door. Poor madam was distracted by something outside. 🐾 Take care deatie😘

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks so much - she is easily distracted if she sees any "invaders" in "her" garden. Hope all is well with you xx

[@joelwilliams5634]

Always great to see you Les. Your spinning is beautiful,I can’t wait to see what you are making with it. Keep well

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks so much. This had to be my quickest turn around from spinning to making! Take good care xx

[@julieagar4483]

Love your hand spun wool. ❤

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Yay! Glad it was a good time. Hope you are well xx

Hello from Norway! Watching you whilst on holiday in baking hot Oslo - the pre vlog advert was for luscious Norwegian chocolate this week - a big improvement on some of the British ones! Lovely to see the squares - and you, and Heidi… x

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks lovely - that sounds like a very good advert. Did you buy some? Safe travels home xx

[@louisewall7100]

Your hand spun looks fab! Can’t wait to see it knit up. We’ve had an awful week which ended with a nice afternoon amidst the sadness. We had to say goodbye to our beautiful little cat on Tuesday. But we finished the week with a baby shower for our grandson who is due in September. They’re not our thing but it was lovely to have a bit of a family get together within the occasion. Lovely as always to catch up,with you xx

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Oh Louise, so sorry to hear about your cat - sending all love. I'm glad that you got to spend time with the family, too and have a fun time. Take good care xx

[@louisewall7100]

@@NotQuiteEnoughYarn thank you xx

[@suzanrudulph4141]

Really interested in seeing your cake knit up. I think the colors are going to work quite well. ❤😊

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Suzan, I'm getting less of a fade than I was expecting and more of a stripe, but that doesn't bother me. Hope all is well with you xx

[@pip-woollycwtches]

Hi. Your hands spun looks fab. I love the barber 💈 pole effect with the colours. I keep forgetting to join in on the zoom. 🙈. I have had my grandchildren more. I’m just about to take one to pony riding lessons. Hope you have a good weekend xx

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hi Pip. Hope the pony riding went well - and that you were able to knit somewhere comfy while they were riding. Thanks and take care xx

[@beachgirl7598]

Can’t wait to see the handspun knitted up, looking super xx

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Jayne - I am getting on with the ranunculus, so I hope you'll see it soon. Take good care xx

[@Calamityjayne69]

I did see it on Babara’s zoom, it’s knitting up lovely xx

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

@@Calamityjayne69 Aha! I wondered if you were the same Jayne! xx

[@athertonca]

Leslie, that hand spun is luscious. Makes me want to go into my goof off room and spin right now. Thanks for your Friday vlogs, always entertaining and cozy.

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks so much. Spinning is not goofing off, it's self care (that's my excused and I am sticking to it!) Take good care xx

Thanks Helen xx

[@brendasolanki8424]

Your evening nights out sound like so much. I'm afraid that's one type of adventure that my dearest hubby is totally uninterested in doing . I need to keep my hands busy!!

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Ha! Hope you had something yummy, as my yarn reminded you of a donut. Keep well and take care xx

[@brendasolanki8424]

@@NotQuiteEnoughYarn no donut but I had a lovely apple pie crumble!🤣

[@heathertucker7056]

Wow that is a monster skein of hand spun! It’s going to look lovely knitted up I’m sure! I’m still practicing my spinning and like to think I can see an improvement! Glad you enjoyed your meal out. Does himself still cook Asian food for you? You used to mention that he was a bit of a wizard in the culinary department! Take care and tickles for Heidi x

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Heather. Glad that you are still spinning - if you are on Instragram, Almas of WitchCraftyLady just put up a video showing how she preps her braids - I found that very useful. Himself does still cook, but less often than he used to. Ah well...it was fun while it lasted... Hope all is well with you. Miss H thanks you for the tickles. xx

[@heathertucker7056]

[@zabaglione]

"If you're going to have one, have a big one". A woman after my own heart. I am, of course, talking about the 400g skeins of Hayfield Bonus Aran ...

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

But of course, Ian, what else would it be? Unless you're talking about a large much of tea, perhaps? Take care xx

[@giselastout9197]

Hello from Colorado, I really like the first granny square you showed. I can’t remember if you had a book for them in one of your last videos or if you use random patterns. If it is a book, would you mind providing a link for it? Love watching your videos 💕

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hi Gisela Thanks so much. I don't know where you buy your books, but the one in question is called "200 Crochet Blocks" and the author is Jan Eaton. I hope that helps you find it. Thanks and take care xx

[@giselastout9197]

Thank you so much. I’ll give Amazon a try 😊

[@lindas.patton7552]

I e joked getting a bit caught up with you. I am still in rehab. Betty has a vet visit, my neighbor is taking her then she will go into a kennel. That gal will bring her to visit me, maybe this weekend. I am excited. I could not ask my neighbors to keep caring for her. Mt physical therapy is going well.

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hi Linda Glad to hear it's going well, and that you are going to get a royal visit from Miss B! Take very good care xx

[@lindas.patton7552]

I may get to go home on the 26th

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

@@lindas.patton7552 I will keep my fingers crossed for you xx

[@PawfectPastimesAmo]

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Amo. I wasn't going to make it too easy for them! Hope all is well xx
