[@valeriebishop561]

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Valerie - some of them are even going in the right direction! 😉 Hope all is well with you xx

[@kdrinnin1]

Your crochet/knit cape does look cozy! I hope you feel better soon.

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks so much - just feeling tired more than anything - hopefully it will pass soon. Take good care xx

[@donnabauman]

Sitting in the red chair with the window open listening to the birds chirping and knitting looks so cozy and peaceful. Enjoy your down time ❤

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Donna - I am fond of that corner! Hope you are doing well xx

Hi Lesley,, I agree I've had a lethargic week too. Possibly the heat with me. Can't stand being to hot. Luckily, in Winter, our home is a warm one, but when it's a bit hot it can get a bit too much for me. 26.5 at the moment in our living room with a big fan blasting away. Crafting had been good this week. I have managed quite abit. Have a fabulous week. xxJane 🐑🌼

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hi Jane - we're not designed for too much warmth, are we? Glad you've had a good crafting week - thanks for being here and take care xx

[@mbohl7149]

Your caplet is quite intriguing to see. What a neat one!!!!

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks so much - I am happy with how it's coming together (so far!) Take care xx

[@stitchitch7010]

I blame my loss of crafty inspiration on the heat, we're at 33c today and expecting hotter weather for the weekend 🥵 Your caplet is a perfect wrap for those unexpected chills. Princess Heidi seems to be smirking for all the lovely attention she received 🐾 Take care dearie 😘

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Ooh - that's very warm - not fun at all. Hope you can stay comfortable. Thanks and all the best xx

[@Jenny_stickar]

Love to knit with you! Take care ❤

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hi Jenny. Thank you - I appreciate your company xx

[@karaoverman7818]

My grandson tells me I crochet with my eyes closed often mid afternoon. He also tells me I snore.

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Ha! Only a grandson could get away with it! Thanks and all the best xx

[@celestedouville2529]

Wild. I just finished the Turtle Dove Cardigan. I also modified it to have the sleeve tighter to my armpits. It's far too hot to wear it now, but I think I'll get a lot of use out of it in the fall and winter in Minnesota.

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hi Celeste! Oh - interesting - did you enjoy the pattern? It does seem a useful one. Thanks and take care xx

[@enidshaw3852]

snap on the lack of energy the poncho is a great idea looking forward to seeing it finished keep taking care xxxxx

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Enid - hope you are feeling livelier soon, too. Take care xx

[@flameandfiberpodcast3162]

See you later!!! I'm looking forward to seeing you cardigan. Love the look of the fabric. ❤

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks - sorry, I had the other project with me. Xx

[@deloresjackson437]

As I was listening to your podcast, I was taking out a million rows of mosaic knitting on my Artus shawl. There was glaring mistake that I thought I could live with; not! Have a great week enjoying your good weather and making. It is crazy hot here in North Carolina with temperatures in the mid to upper 90s. 🔥

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hi Delores. Sorry that you had to pull out so much work - frustrating but worth it in the end. Take care and keep as cool and comfortable as possible xx

[@pattyskaggs2168]

Looking forward to Saturday’s zoom with Barbara….hope to see you..

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hi Patty - yay - looking forward to it xx

[@clare8199]

Hope the life stuff resolves positively if possible. Thanks for asking about the spinning last week it's been on a hiatus due to an RA flare. Anyway lovely to listen to your 'twaddle' as I ease into my Saturday 😊

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hi Clare. Sorry that the RA stopped play - hope it's easing now. Take good care xx

[@angelaholcroft4515]

Hi Lesley. Finally got a chance to catch up. We were away over the weekend in Cumbria. I've had a virus for a couple of weeks, which has completely floored me . This coming weekend is Wool @ junction 13. I'm running on negative energy. I'm sorry to hear you're not 100%. Look after yourself, and I hope you can get some positive help with the health issues. Xx

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hi Angela. Goodness you are busy - with a virus that must be do difficult. Hope you are getting times to rest in between. Thanks and take very good care xx

[@nancyalderdice1405]

Take care of yourself Lesley and get well ❤️🇨🇦

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Nancy - just hoping to get a bit of energy back. Hope all is well with you xx

[@cherylcarlson3315]

Recently finished my Turtledove cardigan in hand spun alpaca,love it! Like the batwing sort of shoulder as easy to get on as layering piece without strangling armpits. Thought if color work on yoke as knitting in one piece but instead did tonsl stripes though have plenty of alpaca yarn. Now finished a tabard from 1970s pattern, again layering piece that's forgiving of body change. Now 91F here, staying in with fan and little ac. Hope all gets better for you

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Cheryl. Glad you like the Turtle Dove - I am pleased with the pattern so far. Your tunic sounds great, too. Happy knitting xx

[@cherylcarlson3315]

Tried to send photo... not sure remember email..

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

@@cherylcarlson3315 Hi. It's [e-mail] xx

[@recreationalknittingpodcast]

Hi Lesley! Just trying to catch up on the podcasts I haven’t stayed current on. So glad to be over my pity party and back at it.

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hiya. You've been through a lot, but I am glad you are coming through the other side. Thanks and take care xx

[@heathertucker7056]

Glad you had a lovely time with your sister but sorry you are feeling a bit under par! Hope you perk up very soon! I think the construction of your poncho/cape sounds interesting although I’m struggling to visualize it at present. I’m sure all will be revealed in due course. Take care and a cuddles for Heidi- she is so cute x

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Heather - sorry I probably overcomplicated things, especially with the slit for the arms - it's a basic cape shape - nothing too clever. Hope all is well with you and take care xx

[@FirnMamaMakes]

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Karen. Take care xx

[@m.5018]

Please please have your sister ,in the interests of … er science , video this crocheting phenomenon .. 😊!

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

I fear that the camera work would be shaky, as she'd be laughing too much.. Cheers and take care xx

[@joelwilliams5634]

Great to see you I hope you’re feeling better soon. Bev was a great cohost and hopefully we will see her again. I think when you wear your cape you might be Batman. No one can prove you’re not. Get lots of rest.

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

HI Joel, I like the way that you're thinking. I shall assume superpowers! Hope all is well with you. Take care xx

[@carolroy5435]

And we shall all the pleasures (of knitting) prove.... 😅 See you later today!

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Well quoted! See you in a short while xx

[@eijanvillat]

I understand snoring while crocheting. But a friend of mine says if she falls asleep while knitting, she ends up with purled stitches, even in the middle of stockinette. And apparently I'm the same. I would love a neurologist to comment on that, because to me it seems totally weird.

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

I have yarn overs and slipped sts when knitting. I think it should be studied. Give me yarn and a comfy chair and I am more than willing to be part of the trial 😉 Take good care xx

[@nwadtrah]

Errrr it does say Turtle Dove in quite big writing on that pattern 😅😂 …so you can’t talk, knit and read at the same time after all? 😂

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

You know it! I can only sleep and crochet xx
