Thank you Helen for sharing your very lovely projects with us. Love the different results from your wool dying I think my favourite reveal was the Pom pom. It is gorgeous and it was nice to see Bailey too. Bye from Carol 👋🤗

Thanks Carol, I was happy when I found the pom pom.

Hi Helen, Thank you for sharing another really lovely video really very much appreciated 👍 loved all your knitting I thought you had success with dying your wool it all looked so pretty from what your are saying the wool over with you seems to be a lot more expensive than the U.K Helen, if it is at all possible could you include in your video a small piece of knitting showing how you join 2 different colours of wool together thank you take care all the best to you & your family Lin 💖👍🦋

Thank you Linda for your comment. I can try to show you how to change colours when knitting. The Sweet Shop Blanket I change colours all the time, so I will try and show you how I do it, usually I leave the sewing in the ends until the end.

Hi Helen, Thank you so much for taking the time to read & reply back to me I am very grateful 👍 your help will be so helpful as I have just started knitting again after a very long time so it will be so nice to have help & advice from an expert 💖Lin
