Smells Like Yarn - A Knitting and Crochet Podcast - November 6 2024

[@YarnCouturebyTee-tx8hb]

It’s always good to see you Ross and those of us who support you will be here whenever you post. I couldn’t agree more that our future is scary and I am truly scared for what is to come.

[@julie68k]

Seriously? I'd be more concerned if Kameltoe won.

[@frunzid1]

There over 68 million....MILLION people who are feeling the same as you. We are not alone. You are not alone. Together we will find a way. Thank you for sharing and it was good to see you again. In the end.... I'm not changing me... don't change you. Sending hugs!

[@KathyClark-jq5hz]

Please be at peace. We love you and your podcast and miss you when you take a break. ❤❤

[@star_athena]

Hey Ross. I woke up a ball of anxiety at 3:30 this morning and watching your podcast was a comfort to me. Thank you. I am thinking of making stuffies too. ❤❤❤

[@ladydrakks]

I spent all day Wednesday having multiple panic attacks. At times felt like I was having a heart attack. Struggling to breathe. Today was a little bit better.

[@yarnpower]

Yes, it is a tough few days. Knitting and crocheting calms me a bit.

[@rebeccaronco6839]

Glad to see you ! I can totally relate to how you’re feeling. Glad I’m not the only one.

[@marywalterman3696]

Thank you Ross for your honesty. As a fellow Wisconsinite I know how you feel. I am allowing myself to do what comforts me. And to focus on where I can go from this time. Thank you for being you❤😊❤😊

[@lynnesanders8215]

I know how you feel Ross . Here in the UK things are a nightmare. The new Government is just as bad if not worse than the last shower of self obsessed career politicians. The poor, the very young, the frail and thee old are all at the bottom of the pile. What happened to caring common sense?... I am so glad to see you my friend. I hope that if you ever need anything you will let us, your Utube friends, know. I make a good borrowed Grandma. Thinking of your pillow, my Scottish Grandad would have called it ' A Heeland Coo'. (Highland cow). I can still remember his lilting melodic voice 70 years on. Take care of yourself. 😊. We all need to help one another if we can. A kind word can go a long way❤ . Love Lynne in London xxx

[@VJAbdool]

Thank you for sharing with such sincere and deep honesty. It's refreshing

[@gingerfoxx1476]

Emotional support snowmen, for the win. I'm glad you found a pattern book that works so well.

[@nancydiffee4312]

Great video. It's always my favorite to watch at night. I love your calming voice and projects. I grab my yarn, knit, and watch. Thank you Ross

[@fionastube2011]

Always glad to see you here, Ross. Always. And I think we all know how you feel. We’re all a bit stunned. So making the toys seems like a good idea! I have gifts to make for grandchildren, and that’s a good motivator for me. Stay strong. We need each other!

[@leeannstearns9923]

So enjoy hearing from you this morning… been feeling the same re what’s happening in the world… Just remember you are appreciated and loved by soooo many of your followers… Do what makes you Happy.. look forward to seeing everything you decide to make… ❤❤❤❤. Love new suggestions too. My number one is always your hats .. 🥰🧶

[@renepainter7166]

Thank you so much for coming on and doing a podcast. Thank you also for sharing your thoughts, feelings and memories with us today. I also was very disturbed after hearing Wed. morning news. I was thinking about you yesterday, hoping you would do a youtube of this very kind, and I loved how you stated you plan to be around more often. You have been very helpful to my sad spirit this morning... Mr. Rogers is so helpful, isn't he? I also try to find old epsiodes to listen to when things go sideways. Your little stuffies are so cute-love these! Thanks, Ross for giving some of your time to us out here in youtube land. You are a treasure.

[@cynthiaj5296]

Always happy to see you Ross.😊

[@josiestewartRN]

So happy to see you again! My heart goes out to my American friends.😢 Love your little snowman and hope to see you again soon!! Take care of yourself!! 💖💖

[@juneclifford8377]

Glad to see a video pop up.

[@heatherholly6563]

Thanks for sharing and being real. Lots of us out here feel the same. Can't wait to see how your snowman turns out.

[@veldalacoste8186]

Mr. Rogers-what a great idea. Thank you. I feel the same way about the news😢

[@nightowl4137]

Goodmorning Ross 🙋🏼‍♀️💖 when I see your smiling face I know its going to be a good day !

[@premieryarns]

Ross, it was great to see and hear you once again!!!! Take care and know we all care about you!!!

[@terrywallace7882]

Watching and listening to you brings down my blood pressure and puts a smile on my face..thank you. Just what I needed.

[@judithfrey7508]

Keep watching for a new post and was rewarded!. So glad you have found a path back into the comfort that knitting can bring. I agree that Mr. Rogers is a go-to place to retreat when the world is just too much. I am going to check out those two books and will be watching for what you create.Congratulations on finding an equilibrium in these discouraging times.

[@bettyloumallet7081]

I love how the cassettes brought back great memories. I still have my 45s, cassettes, a few 8-tracks and all my vinyl. Brings back memories!

[@Morganroadknits]

Awe Ross, you are a kind soul and this hits people like you and many I know, differently. I am gutted as you know, because you know me. I want you to know that I have started knitting hats for the unhoused, to channel my grief a bit. I am using your Ross hat pattern. I have also made the choice to delete so many people from my life and that feels good as well. This is a disaster for everyone, but more than half the country doesn’t realize it yet. I am also channeling my energy into protecting my daughter. Thank you for speaking out.

[@leannemorrill1475]

Can’t Waite to see what stuffys you knit up. Have a wonderful weekend Ross!

[@angrypanda5042]

Hi Ross. Good to see you. You were a comfort for me this morning. Knitting and crocheting and music are my ways of coping. Looks like a lot of it in my future. Luckily I have more than enough yarn for quite a while. The snowman and his soon to be friends are cute little guys. We'll get through this somehow. Take very best care. See you next time. 💖💕

[@samantharamsden8480]

Glad you are back missed you

[@joannecutrone4809]

Love your snowman and teddy bear🥰

[@christinahoffman9436]

I always enjoy your podcasts and seeing what you make!

[@roxirossetti6250]

Is there a way to make a Ross hat for your little snowman? I think that would be totally adorbs. In your favourite neon so he doesn't get lost in the snow. Probably hard to do one that small, though. Sounds like you were in shock yesterday morning too - I'm not even American and I am going through the stages of grief! Still in denial, kind of stuck there. Knitting stuffed animals sounds like a good plan, they are very cute and it will feel good to knit your own little army. I would too if i could knit. I suppose i could crochet some though. OK, now i'm rambling...good to see you pop up in my feed anytime you want to send something out. Happy to see you; love you, please stay well.

[@christinecaldwell-smith7760]

I completely agree with you that the future is scary and im still disappointed in America. We will keep fighting and find a way. Comfort knitting and crocheting is a way to cope. Im send you big hugs and love from Michigan.

[@mtngal1972]

Welcome back my friend ❤❤❤ you were missed ❤❤❤

[@gaylemoore5751]

I’m glad you see you again welcome back you have been missed

[@gingerfoxx1476]

I share your fear and concerns with regard to uncertainty ahead of us. Fred Rogers is definitely a good safe haven. I'm taking a break from the news now, personally, and focusing on ways I can keep the people in my life safe who are the most fearful right now. Just know that all across this country there are people who see you for the person you are, and won't ever stop fighting for your rights or safety. We have to rally together and look out for each other in the days to come. That's what I vow to do.

[@janetwindon6980]

Great to see you, Ross! Do what makes you happy. I crochet & knit both. Am also taking long break from social media. Crocheting ponchos, slouchy hats, beanies. Knitting a one row repeat easy small crescent shawl by Fiber Spider too right now. Follow your spirit! Music is a fantastic soother.

[@sharond8179]

Hello Ross, thank you for sharing whenever you can. It is always good to see you and have a catch up chat. Take care.

[@kimberlymendenhall4449]

Hi Ross, it's always good to see you. Alot of us feel the same way that you do. I just finished two large projects. Now I want something that provides instant gratification. I just finished a bowling pin set. Put it in my shop. Took me all of 2 hours. Now I've done snowmen and manatees love doing studies my self. I think they are fun. You will be fine. Love your studies. Rebecca's book is like Meagan Lapps books. I own her monster book. I love it! Take care of you. We will be here as you see. Take care ❤

[@MariannA-u4l]

Glad you are back. Nobody is sure what will happen but hang in there. I have climbed out if the rabbit hole I've been in and instead immersing myself into my family and retirement. Looking forward to the journey and hope you stick around because you have a calming effect on me / us. 🧶🤗❤️🧶 Thank you, Ross!!

[@LindaNixon-ws4ge]

There are so many of us that are devastated about the path our country is taking😢

[@christinesevigny6980]

Get over it. If you are too blind to see what a Harris and Walz team would do to the US, then I feel sorry for you.

[@Morganroadknits]

I agree Linda, most people are unaware of what is coming.

[@LauraK308]

@@christinesevigny6980 May you get exactly what you voted for.

[@Amy-vx9lz]

@@LauraK308That’s the kind of leftists rhetoric and attitude that caused overwhelming numbers of people to get out and vote for Trump. Think about that for a minute.

[@LauraK308]

@@Amy-vx9lz I've thought about it. "Leftists" rhetoric like mine have shone a light on the fact that roughly 75 million of us are ignorant bigots. But you do you.

[@deborahmonroe7345]

So glad you are back. You were missed. I've been busy making Ross hats, thank you for your pattern. I will continue to escape into my crafts world rather than think about the real world

[@angeleyz14]

So good to see you! This was just what I needed tonight while working on a blanket for a friend. Lots of comfort listening/watching yesterday and today when I haven't been at work. Love seeing the snowman and can't wait to see the rest of them you make💜

[@lindapollaerts5168]

Hi Ross,great to see you.The snowman look cute.

[@gingerfoxx1476]

Those cassette tapes sound like such a treasure. When I was 5, the Christmas before my grandfather passed, my grandparents gifted me one of those cardboard storybooks of classic poem, The Night Before Christmas. It's the sort with a cassette tape inset into a cutout in the book, where you read along to the narrations of the tape and it chimes when you should turn the page. I still have that book and tape set on a bookshelf in my home, nearly 35 years later. I don't have a cassette player currently, but it's still such a treasure.

[@heatherpearson3784]

Good to see you again. The little snowmen are so cute. Good on you for adapting patterns you already have. I’ve been knitting a gnome, perhaps I’ll get him finished this week. Also knitting a bay blanket for a wee one due to my niece at new years. Take care Ross. You are strong, you’ve got this and I’m cheering you on.

[@jackelinematschat9514]

Nice to see you Ross. Love your snowman, looks a little like gleep/gloom from the herculoids.

[@reneehebert6986]

Good to see you.

[@maryklenewski7190]

Great to see you! 😊 I love your patterns! They are so beautiful and written so well.

[@annzbikowski4198]

For a snowman I knit a a long tube .decrease at one end to make a smaller head. Stuff it and wrap yarn around to make different sections.

[@joieashley1951]

Well, I so miss you. I was just thinking about you the other day how amazing is that? Yes I miss your podcast so so much. Please get back on track so I can watch you again one of my faves. Yes you are.❤

[@christinestankewitz6106]

IF we can make it through the next 4 years ! We will be done!❤

Hey Ross. Good to see you again. You were missed. Your snowman is so cute. Remember, there's always light at the end of the tunnel. Until next time friend, I wish you peace. 💜🤗💜

Hi Ross, it's good to see you. I'm glad you are getting your vibe back. Love when you share yourself and love when you take care of yourself. Love and Hugs💝

Hi Ross. Good to see you. I wish I had kept all my old cassette tapes. I want to crochet a plushie snowman. Stay well.

[@speechcrafts]

Wish I knitted because those snowmen are going to be so cute. I am having a hard time with what has happened and am not sure how to get through. I’d prefer to crawl in a hole, but that’s not a possibility. Take care.

[@karibrinkman-sull7239]

Hello! I have missed seeing you :) I have similar feelings about the election and this country, but know nearly half stood on the right side and we will continue to fight to support the rights of ALL!! ❤

It was inspiring it’s good to see you. I think I’m gonna go make me some snowman.😊❤

Nice to see you! I got out the same book a couple days ago to work on something different. I think the weather changes are making me go from one kn itting item to an other one. Have fun!! 😀

There’s a reel of a calming Sesame Street scenery. It’s a deep breath length. I found it very comforting for the uncertain times we find ourselves in.

[@debbieperea95]

Hi Ross know you’re love and your channel. I’m praying 🙏 for good years ahead. That our country will come together and make things better not fighting We all need joy 🥰🥰✝️🙏

Missed you!

[@steffanieiorio40]

So nice to see you again-- but you look like you’re really struggling-- I agree about our future-- I’m not happy at all about whats to come--what an embarrassment to our country. I missed you so much and ready to start “ knitting along with Ross” bring it on !!!!

[@mollywelsh8751]

I have empathy my dear, and we will not give up ❤❤❤❤

[@melindamarshall258]

Thanks for sharing. I know as a Canadian I was shocked & very disappointed in the vote results. I can not imagine how this will affect you all. I hope it won't be as dire as the predictions! Take care & I look forward to more podcasts.

[@sueseger6883]

I would tape music off the radio also. I still have them, but haven't played them in years. My tape player stopped working. Guess I need to get another one.

[@KimberlyAtkins-r7f]

I loved Mr. Rogers too. I really hope that you keep your KZbin channel because I really do enjoy your videos. But I definitely understand being in the places where you just sort of lose motivation.

Hi Ross good to see you again, you come and talk to us whenever you want we will be here.❤❤

Hi ROSS. I watched this video yesterday and saw how down you were. You were so affected by the turnout of the election I’m assuming? I didn’t listen to the radio or television for five days so I did not know the OUTCOME of ELECTION till MY DAUGHTER told ME SUNDAY MORNING when she STOPPED by. I CRIED!! THANK GOD I HAVE MY CROCHETING and MY Dog WINSTON. ROSS-have you considered getting a pet or do you have one already? They sure help with comfort and someone to talk to. THINK about It. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. LONG TIME ViEWER. TAKE CARE ❤😊

[@MsAuraMatic]

Hi Ross, I watching your video 3 days later because I just cant accept that my neighbors did this to our world. I am watching you because there is kindness and love in the yarn arts. We have this at the very least.
