Time spent with friends is never dull. Thank you for sharing your week with us 🧶💜

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

You are very kind, Wendy. Thanks for being here xx

[@coastaljane137]

What a lovely idea and execution of the cushion covers. A fabulous result 👍👍👍

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks so much - definitely a case of "don't look too closely at the seams", but objective achieved. Take care xx

[@stitchitch7010]

The pillows are a wonderful way to spark memories❤️ I always say, if you don't vote, don't complain about who you are stuck with in office. Princess Heidi is adorable as always 🐾 Take care dearie 😘

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks so much - I agree - if you don't vote, then you don't care how your taxes are calculated and spent, or what laws are made... Hope all is well with you xx

Thanks for sharing with us, the pillows are beautiful, what a lovely idea. Sometimes weeks are so busy and sometimes they are quieter, it happens to all of us,I hope you find time to craft this weekend. Enjoy

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Love the cushions you made from your dad’s clothes. What a wonderful keepsake.💕

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Maryanne. I was pleased with how they turned out xx

[@lizakingstoncoleman2059]

Your cushions are adorable. What a lovely idea. Enjoy your drum off. I hope the weather stays good for you❤

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Liza. It wasn't completely dry, but mostly, so we were happy. Hope you are well. Thanks and take care xx

[@nadjas.4275]

These weeks fly by so fast - thank you for this very cosy "knit-along". I also started another Ranunculus last week and have now moved on to the body (I love that it knits up so quickly). Have a lovely weekend & see you in a heartbeat! Cheers, N.

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hi Nadja - it's one of the appeals of the Ranunculus! Hope you are enjoying it. Thanks and take care xx

[@summerking8659]

As always, Heidi is so cute. Yes, fingers crossed for you to have good weather for your drumming event on Sunday - have a fab day x

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks so much - we have a few spots of rain, but nothing too dreadful. Thank and take good care xx

[@VisitWithNanaAndPapa]

What a lovely visit.

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

You are very kind, as always. Hope you are doing okay xx

[@wildcottageknitting]

Wonderful cushions for remembering your Dad by! Xx

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Susan - just don't look too closely at the sewing! I'm glad the children aren't very little, they'll have them apart in no time! Cheers and take care xx

[@joelwilliams5634]

It was very nice to just sit and knit with you for a bit today. Hope next week is great and drumming goes well

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Joel - all good thanks - the drumming was fun. Hope all is well with you xx

[@christinasee5157]

I love the cushions you made!

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Christina. Much appreciated xx

[@louisewall7100]

I love the cushions. They’re beautiful and a fabulous keepsake. I wish I’d had the foresight (and/or inclination) to do something with some of my mum’s clothes. Lovely as always catching up. Take care. Lots of love xx

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Louise. If it hadn't been for my sister, I wouldn't have done these - she had the idea xx

[@judystone3645]

What a nice chat we've had with you. I felt I was right there, sitting across from you. Our craft fairs this year have had sparse vendors, sparse customers, and very high prices. Not much handmade; mostly clothing from China, purses that look like they came from Temu, etc. I bought 2 crocheted potholders that are nice and thick and well made, a pair of knitted fingerless gloves, and some homemade lotion made from goat's milk and smells wonderfully like 🍒. The lotion is made by a lady who raises goats in Texas, and I buy from her when she comes to town. My purchases were very reasonably priced. ❤ It sounds like your weekend will be quiet and peaceful. Mine, too. I've been sick since Monday when I got 3 vaccines. My body just hates them, so it takes forever to get well again. 😢 But, I'm walking upright and feeling better today. Heidi is just a sweetie. Take care, sweet friend. ❤

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hi Judy. Thanks so much - I hope you're now fully recovered from the vaccines. Wishing you a fun weekend and lots of lovely crafting. xx

Hello to Himself from a Lancashire Lass born and bred. Hope the tragic hasn't left too bad a time for you. We went to see Wizard of Oz on Thursday in Manchester, starring Jason Manford, Ashton Merrygold, ( from JLS fame🤷). Absolutely amazing. Very true to the original film. Amazing singing, acting and audience reaction. A few school of jobs nor school age, that had a great time and very well behaved. We saw one last year that had older school children, that just talked and make social media type videos, shouting some very unkind things to other audience members and where all removed at the interval, thankfully. Managed to do a nice bit of knitting this week. That helps with the mind. Have a fabulous week and hope your house guest goes well. xxJane 🐑🌼

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Jane - Himself had a great time in Lytham - it's a regular pilgrimage for him! The show sounds great - glad it wasn't interrupted by the other members of the audience. Hope you have a good week - thanks and take care xx

[@diannedesroches2672]

Heidi looks just like our Koda. Ours is a Jackapoo. He will be 1 year old on the 22nd of this month. Hes very timid and barks at everything and anything. Its nice to relax ,Im retired so I have become a Pro at that! I still have good health and drive, so life is good at 70.😂

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hi Dianne - you have put my #lifegoals right there - retired, cute dog, relaxing, good health and mobile. Good on yer! Long may it continue. Thanks and take good care xx

[@FirnMamaMakes]

❤❤❤

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thank you xx

[@teenacarter7282]

Hope you have a great weekend! Maybe we will get to see some of the drumming if you can! I always love watching it.

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hi Teena -this week's podcast has a couple of videos of the drumming - you'll be begging us to stop before too long! Thanks and take care xx

[@angelaholcroft4515]

Hi Lesley. The craft fair you attended sounded exactly like the one we went to at Manchester Cathedral. It'll be a quiet family weekend for us. I'm still exhausted after last weekend. I'm about to start another crochet shawl from the pattern collection. The weather in Lancashire is dreadful. Tipping down. Enjoy the bank holiday. Xx

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hi Angela - I don't know where else those craft fairs were held, but it was very much an "organised" event, so could well be run by the same company. Hope you've now recovered from Wonderwool, and that you had an enjoyable and useful show. Take good care and enjoy the crochet. xx

[@suzanrudulph4141]

❤

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Suzan xx

[@georginabird9354]

Wot !! No fleas brought , you could have knitted little jumpers and started your own flea circus , Michael Bentene eat your heart out xx

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Ha! That takes me back! What a strange show that was! Hope all is well with you xx

[@JoBadgerTextiles]

Love watching your podcasts Lesley, I am sure we've met before. Maybe at Winghams? Or Woolfest ❤

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Jo. I'm afraid I've never been to Winghams, or Woolfest, so it wasn't in either. Harrogate? Ally Pally? Or, as I like to say to folks who think that I look familiar, "It may just be my stunning resemblance to Kate Moss." My favourite response to that was the woman who looked at me completely seriously and said, "no...it's not that..." Hopefully we will meet (again?) some sunny day. Thanks and take care xx

[@JoBadgerTextiles]

@@NotQuiteEnoughYarn I am sure there must be a word for the feeling that you've met before! Well I'm very pleased to have found your videos 😊

[@pip-woollycwtches]

I love your keepsake cushions Lesley. My granddaughter is here with me and she just said who is that? Looking at you. Then she added, she looks like you!! 😳I hope you’re not offended 🙈. Hope your having a good weekend xx

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hi Pip. I'm not remotely offended - but wouldn't be surprised if you were! Hope all is well and that you had a lovely time at Wonderwool. Thanks and take care xx

[@pip-woollycwtches]

Wonderwool was fabulous and very v tempting 🙈. I need a bigger bank account 🤣. Xxx

[@paulamacdonald3222]

Only comment. We have to vote in Australia or get fined!!! Oh! Your knitting looks very interesting.

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

I've been saying "we should have the Australian approach" for a long time. Thanks so much. Hope all is well with you xx
