🥳 She’s back! 👏👏👏 Hooray for patterned sock yarns that don’t make us think too hard! The Scrapigan looks really good, and interesting construction with the double knit hem. (I am imagining some bad words being said about the bindoff.) So happy to see and hear you on here again, and I hope your recovery is going well. See you next month!

[@pandemicknitter]

Thanks, Colleen. I don't remember saying any choice words about the Scrapdigan, but I do remember thinking it would never end. Can't wait to see you!

[@wendyknopp1252]

Oh my goodness, Beth! I'm so sorry you've been going through so many health issues. I've thought about you so many times and have missed your podcasts. I'm kicking myself for not privately reaching out to you. It sounds like you're on the road to recovery. If I were closer I'd come to the meet-up. Looking forward to another podcast. Praying you are on the road to a full and quick recovery. Hugs!❤

[@pandemicknitter]

Hi Wendy. Thank you. It's good to know that you've been thinking about me. I am definitely getting better now. We'll miss you at the meet-up.

[@cgrin3284]

I love shark week! ♥️🦈🧦 I am impressed by all the projects you have completed and are currently working on, when dealing with your health issues. Keep up the good work and I hope you feel better soon. 🤞🙏🏼😊

[@pandemicknitter]

Thank you! I used knitting as an escape during that time. It was really what kept me from going crazy. I'm definitely getting back to my old self.

[@chitchatknits]

I am going to the meet up too! I am so excited to meet you in person. ❤ The shark bag is so cute. Susan makes the best bags. I have a sweater design in my head that I would like to do. Do I dare try to design and knit it for shark week? I must be crazy to even consider it. God bless you in your healing and hoping you will be able to podcast more. 😊

[@pandemicknitter]

Hi Darcy! I look forward to seeing you at the meet-up! Shark week can be a scary thought when ripping out is a very real possibility. You can skip that part, if you don't mind losing eligibility for prizes, though. Sweater design seems ambitious for a one week project. I can't wait to see what you do!

[@EileenK64]

Good to see you again Beth! I’m so sorry I haven’t reached out to you, I’ve thought about it, wondering how you were. I hope you’re back to full health soon. I completed my project in time for shark week last year and am going to participate again. I have to decide what I’m going to make. I love all those purple colors you have! So pretty. I can’t do that meet up in July but maybe someday we can try again to meet halfway. Take care of yourself.

[@pandemicknitter]

Hi Eileen. We'll meet one of these days! Good luck with your shark week project!

[@pandemicknitter]

Hi Eileen. I drew your name as the winner of the bag. Congratulations! Please email me your address, and I'll send it out to you asap. [e-mail]

[@sandracroley9784]

Welcome back! Lots of inspiration in your episode... I definitely to try a hexagon cardigan. I've not done much in the way of crocheted garments, but I am starting the Granny Pop V-neck Pullover on Monday in a Christmas-themed colour-changing yarn...wish me luck 😊

[@pandemicknitter]

You can do it! I think you'll find it so satisfying. Thank you for your continued patience!

[@lucilesenseney5556]

So glad you are back...missed you. Have you had your thyroid and vitamin D level checked?

[@pandemicknitter]

Thank you, Lucile. I know they looked at thyroid, but I don't know about vitamin D. It might be a good idea to look into that.

[@marydanielsen3271]

So happy to see your podcast listed, watched right away. Hopefully they can figure out what’s going on. Love your shark bag, just the other day I had to sit with my dad and NG had several shows about shark attacks, Yuck, not a fan of sharks, they are okay at an Aquarium. Take care so glad to see your smiling face again.

[@pandemicknitter]

Hi Mary. Yeah, sharks can be pretty scary. Hopefully they'll stay away from knitting events. I hope your dad is doing well.

[@stephaniebenson2501]

I am now so tempted by the Scrapdigan! Just beautiful! It’s on my list!

[@pandemicknitter]

I'm happy to have inspired you! You'll love it!

[@donnaleiffer7056]

Cute shark bag - love the colors! Been afraid of sharks since I saw Jaws during high school summer vacation, but knitting bags aren’t scary 😁🦈

[@pandemicknitter]

I'm glad the sharks wouldn't intimidate you while you're knitting. I loved Jaws. I saw it at the drive in theater. It didn't make me love sharks either.

[@cathymanchur2114]

Your podcast just showed up in my feed today. I am sorry to hear that you haven't been well. The shark bag has all of my favourite colours. Take care and I hope to see you again feeling much better.

[@pandemicknitter]

Thank you, Cathy. I feel like my health is going in the right direction now. Those colors are my favorites too.

[@darlenetaylor278]

Hi Beth. So sorry to hear about all your health issues. Hopefully things are a bit better since your hip surgery. Do you have a good support system at home? I am really looking forward to seeing you at the Chicago meet up if your health allows.

[@pandemicknitter]

Hi Darlene. I do have a good support system. Most of my coworkers were very helpful during the work stress. I look forward to seeing you too! I'll be there.

[@skhoyt6024]

Beth, I’m sorry you’ve had such a hard spell. I hope it gets better and better from here on. It’s good to see you again! I’m with you on the turquoise, or any kind of blue green.

[@pandemicknitter]

Thanks, Sharon! I definitely feel like things are trending the right way now.

[@sarahneugebauer318]

I’m sorry to hear about all that’s been going on with your health. But I’m glad to see you again!

[@pandemicknitter]

Thanks, Sarah. I'm glad to be back!
