I can quite see why miss Heidi has taken a shine to that fluffy blanket! Our two would love it! Glad to see you looking and sounding better! Great that you could meet up with Benta and enjoy some fish and chips. Hope your weekend is lots of fun as you certainly deserve a treat! Take care x

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Heather. Miss H certainly goes for the soft and cosy- she and I will be fighting over that blanket! Thanks so much and take care xx

[@recreationalknittingpodcast]

Glad you had a great time with Bente. Have some well deserved fun this weekend. ❤

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Karen. Hope you are doing okay - no more injuries xx

[@stitchitch7010]

I am surprised Princess Heidi let you have it long enough to share 🐾 Glad you had a chance to meet with friends for a relaxing lunch and chat. Wonderful to see you! Take care dearie 😘

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks so much. I think Heidi realised that I was going to give her back more blanket! Take good care xx

[@lindas.patton7552]

That is wonderfully warm and cuddly blanket! Nice wRm colors too. Oh, Heidi looks lovely, hugs.

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Linda. It is a cosy one - warm to work on. Hope you are well xx

[@susanmarshall3709]

What a clever idea to extend that blanket with the crochet edge! Both knitted and crochet blanket. Probably why Heidi likes it so much. I am glad you did get some time with Bente after all. That is beautiful “fluff” she gave you ! Can’t wait to see what it becomes !!

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Susan - yes, I am so pleased that I got to spend time with Bente and her husband xx Hope you are doing well xx

[@angelahasenhundl8871]

Beautiful blanket ♥ and thanks for the idea of adding on to adjust the size. Glad to see you looking so well. The past few weeks must have been difficult for you. I wish you much courage and strength to move on. Take care and I look forward to next Friday.

[@angelaholcroft4515]

Glad your feeling better this week and enjoying time with friends. I've been to the dentist this afternoon, so I'm feeling sorry for myself. 😅 Have a lovely weekend, take care. X

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hi Angela - if you've had to go to the dentist, I feel sorry for you too. Hope everything went smoothly. Take good care xx

[@joelwilliams5634]

So glad you are feeling better and got to go meet up. Your fiber is delicious I can’t wait to see your yarn you get. Stay well

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Joel - such great colour choices. Hope you are well xx

[@ArcticCraftsbyBente]

Who knew 4 hours could fly past that quickly! And.. We hardly talked about knitting! I realised that when I got back to the hotel. :P

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Ha! True - but we talked about spinning - close enough? It was so great to see you both xx

[@lizakingstoncoleman2059]

Have a lovley weekend ❤

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Liza. Hope you are having fun xx

[@summerking8659]

Oh I adore Branston Pickle - haven’t had it in yonks. Must buy it again. Can see why Heidi loves that blanket!

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Himself thinks I'm a philistine, because I prefer the small chunk version! Thanks and take care xx

[@lindapollaerts5168]

I love the blanket

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Linda. It's very cosy. Hope all is well with you x

[@spaknits]

You sound much better now Lesley. Glad you're on the mend. Another finished blanket is a,ways useful, especially if Heidi likes it 😁 xx

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Well, the Queen must have her throne! Thanks and take care xz

[@NadineTouzet]

Wind and rain here. Yikes. Enjoy your slow weekend and week! xx

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hi Nadine. Keep safe and warm xx

[@marywanamaker2700]

Have a great weekend

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Mary. You too xx

[@sheridenlomax325]

Enjoy your weekend. Glad you are feeling better.

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thank you - hope all is good with you, too xx

[@deloresjackson437]

So happy that you are feeling better and that you were able to meet with your friend. It is cold and rainy here, so other than a clothing collection for people entering or re-entering work and baking a cake for a food pantry’s charity event, we have a quiet weekend planned. If Heidi was a cat, she would be purring, as she looks so content. Enjoy your weekend!

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

@@deloresjackson437 Thanks Delores - that sounds like a very valuable weekend - I hope it's fun xx

[@natalieinstitches]

Sending lots of love and hugs, Lesley - apologies for being belated, I have missed a few weeks. Take care 🤗🤗🤗💕💕💕

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Natalie. You've been very busy, I know! Hope all is well xx

[@jenniegarner9319]

I love your blanket! Your blanket sent me running to my stash to find a couple of skeins of furry yarn and yarn to go with it.... I have had the yarn for years and had no idea of what to make with it. Love your podcast.

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hi Jennie. Hope you enjoy using the furry yarn - it is lovely and soft to work with xx Thanks and take care xx

[@VisitWithNanaAndPapa]

Hugs from tx

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

And hugs back to you xx Many thanks xx

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Suzan xx

[@summerking8659]

Just had a thought Leslie, would there be a modification section where mods are made to compensate for 1) not being able to count, 2) mistakes due to mind wandering off, and there is no way I’m ripping back, but need to get back on track. Just on last section of a cowl and no prizes for guessing why I’m putting forward this query hahaha

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hi Muireann - it's not a separate section, but those mods are definitely allowed - guess how I decided! Xx take care xx

[@KristisCorner]

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Kristi xx

[@karenmezzacapo8763]

I’ll forgive you your Norwegian pronunciation, even though I have no idea what the pronunciation should be. Take care. 💕

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thank you Karen. I have studied French and Latin (many years ago, at school), so Norwegian is outside of my experience. I am grateful to Bente and her husband for speaking such good English xx Hope all is well with you xx

[@marycase9352]

Very glad you can ease into work again. When I lost my Dad no one was terribly sympathetic 30 years ago. One would hope things have changed a bit.💜🧶

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hi Mary. Sorry you didn't get the support at the time. Folks have been very kind and I am grateful. Take good care xx
