How lovely to spend a gentle Saturday afternoon catching up, with my knitting... Thank you, and happy weekend!

[@DressByAmy]

Totally get what you mean about computer games! I dread to think how much time my partner has ‘wasted’ playing his games 😂 I obviously need to read the book! 😊 Love your dress 👗 x

[@juliadroy1179]

Love your up and coming patterns, the Looshkin books sound great I'll check them for my grandson. your dress is so pretty xx

[@rachaelfoote8301]

So glad to have you back in my lounge, you are such a positive person, and so talented x

[@sarahjane1283]

Lovely episode, I think the Arconia sweater might be the answer to a pair of very gen z jeans I bought last year but don't know how to style 😂 can't do a french tuck to save my life

[@needleworkfromthebeehive7520]

You’re such a clever whatsit! Your quilt is beautiful and the dress is amazing! So professionally made. Lovely to spend the morning watching you.

[@shirleyflavell5705]

Oh Ami the knits are so beautiful and beautiful colours. Loved your dress, it looks brilliant on you. Looking forward to the cardy pattern being ready .Sandy's bag looks gorgeous.

[@ScottishVeggieGarden]

[@threestitchcatery]

Thanks for sharing all your makes very inspiring! And thanks for telling us about Heather Ross her fabric is adorable!

[@julcl8275]

Super pod. Always enjoy listening

[@lifeandhair]

That dress is Devine and you look radiant in it. I just love how sewers can make breath-taking clothes to wear, so much better than what can be found in the shops. All the knits are glorious too, what knit would you pair with the dress if you had to choose?

[@Tensytheneedlesmith]

I love Tomorrow x3 so much! I agree the writing is so very good. I love the Shakespeare references throughout the novel (including the title) and the characters are so memorable. Everyone in my family is reading it, including my son.

[@flourchylde]

Your dress and the cardi you're wearing are spectacular.

[@RachelBearn]

So many gorgeous makes! I love the cardigan and can’t wait for the pattern to come out ❤

[@janetpheasant4816]

I always find your videos so inspiring Ami! The Looshkin books sound great, I'm going to order one for Eric to try :) I love all the pink yarns and cardigans too 😍

[@CosyFluffClaire]

Loved everything in this video :) Also I am sooooo excited to get my first Advent with you

[@diannessewingroom7]

Hello, lovely to see you. I love your makes and the dress is stunning. Now that you have recommended books I am off to have a look because I read 'Educated' recently on your good review and I loved it.

[@JulieLockie]

Hi Ami, have you read Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus? I'm quite a fast reader but am trying to slow down because I don't want it to finish! I'd strongly recommend it.

[@theresabyrne300]

I don't know how you find the time to do all your projects!

[@sallydingle321]

Really enjoy this Amy 😁🙏. I adored your dress 😍. Would it have been possible to omit the zip, with it being a knit fabric.. Just a thought if you make another 🤔. It might not have had enough stretch but definitely a thought if you make another 👍. The books sounds amazing and so interesting. Always such a variety in your videos Amy... thanks for the wonderful content 😁💖🤗😘

[@sallydingle321]

Ps... Your quilt is beautiful 😍👌💖💖💖

I find it interesting that dress designers seem to take styles that were 20, 30even 50 years ago and recreate the same styles for today. I do remember the same "Vampire dress" being worn in the 1970s. Ruffled sleeve cuffs and ruffled hems. There was a skirt I remember sewing and it had 4 tiers of ruffled sections and each section was a different print. Do you remember Gunne Sax by Jessica McClintock? She used lace, gingham, and calicos, a very American prairie look with lacing up the sleeve and bodice. Those features can be traced back to Victorian and Edwardian times. As they say, there is nothing new in storylines, and there's nothing new in clothing designs. 🤭😕 Isn't it wonderful how fabric choices have improved over the last 5 decades, knits, linens, and even simple cotton is lightyears improved. Anyway, loved your vlog, and seeing all that you've been making, reading, and all the fun things coming up for the shop. Well until the next vlog, I'll see you on Instagram. Bye, for now, ~ Hugs Lacy xo PS. I signed up on YarnPond for testing your beautiful cardigan. Fingers crossed 🤞

[@maureencullen1008]

The colour and design of your cardi s are gorgeous. I loved your silver dress. The volume of your vlogs are always low,even on my maximum volume.I either have to watch them with subtitles or use ear pods.Does anyone else have this problem or is it just my device?. Anyway it does not distract from my enjoyment of your vlogs.

[@flourchylde]

I've never experienced that problem.
