Hi ! Thanks for sharing your nice time around Rhinebeck! Beautiful yarn purchases! Will be making the cowl !!! Thanks again for another enjoyable and inspiring episode! Happy Knitting!

[@constancemcconnell2128]

Nancy, did you finish your beautiful Calliope? It inspired me to knit one too, with the same Chelsea Luxe yarn and I'm holding it with a light blue Alpaca Haze. Am working on the bottom ribbing and then it's on to the sleeves. Thanks for your podcast!

hi i always enjoy watching you

[@rlrieger7871]

Hi Nancy, what is the pink yarn over your right shoulder? It's between the gray and the off white balls/skeins of yarn. Enjoy all of your words of wisdom regarding knitting and patterns and yarn combos. Take care.

I would guess that it’s something from Juniper Moon Yarns. 😊

why are their heads clamped down like that? that's horrific. this is cruel.

[@cherylta2355]

The raising of sheep does end up harming some. Many wool growers sell lambs for meat to supplement their wool income. I still remember the lamb chops in the freezer after a group trip to a yarn farm. 😞 I enjoy your podcasts, but please don't try to convince vegans it's ok for them to use wool or other animal products. We don't need sheep splaining. There are plenty of other yarns we enjoy knitting and will buy if we're not lectured at for not wanting wool. Glad to hear you don't eat veal or lambs. Their mom's and Dad's would love to not be eaten too.

Gosh that alpaca looked terrorised, tethered so tightly by her head. These are prey animals and don’t do will in these situations. I don’t agree with this and wouldn’t attend anything where this happens. Very unethical.

[@jennieweston6767]

I have a daughter who is vegan does not like to wear wool. She understands about the general humaneness if shearing, but feels that sheep are exploited for the wool industry through genetic engineering etc. I don’t totally understand her arguments but if she would rather not wear wool I try to go along with her in the items I make for her. However she is an environmentalist as well, and the production of textiles is very polluting, especially in the production of cotton and other plant fibres, not to mention the horrific effects of acrylic production.

[@neenaj365]

Ask her to clarify the issues you don’t understand! I wear wool but I literally can see how the sheep I get wool from are treated. Many are pets or in rare animal farms. I process my own wool when my health lets me. There’s minimal environmental impact. I’m not a saint but I can’t bear to see animals suffer as I have seen in this video, and in every Rhinebeck video I’ve watched, knitters and designers are just commenting on how adorable the animals are. It’s missing the mark of good ethics by a mile.
