STRANDED - September Catch Up

[@bethanyharper5760]

CONGRATULATIONS on being carried by Stephen and Penelope! 🎉

[@marciamcguire6501]

So good to have this visit from you. Hi dear Jude. Thriving onward amidst such a year of past. You are simply amazing and an inspiration . Yes to being a Dog Daddy. Looking forward to that warm adventure ahead. Your last drawing looked like that of a Black Lab . We are in the 10 month of life with our English Black Lab, Finn. All 80 pounds of him !!!! He is a HOOT: Very Sweet, Very Energetic, Very Very Naughty - Did I say Sweet - ah yes I Did..... at the end of the day , SWEET trumps all the naughtiness he has successfully achieved to accomplish FOR THAT DAY... Tomorrow brings an another unusual round of.... " how did he get into that " ??? !!!!!! Thank you for sharing your journey , and mostly Jude, the very gift of you. Looking forward to Holiday yarn self improvement with you (* ; ^ ) . All the best. Warmly, marcia

[@contessaeller4108]

Two years! I can't believe that. It seems like just a few weeks ago you announced!

[@hanksyarnparlour]

That teeny-weeny skein of left-overs from the first hand-spun you showed is the CUTEST thing I have ever seen!😍

[@elizabethwren7367]

The pink handspun skein is really pretty.

[@heatherbill1328]

Professionally tired human…we have the same profession! 😂 Jude, thank you again for your vulnerability in sharing your experience with dysphoria and your socks. As an ally, I really appreciate the insight. 💗

[@the3milestitcher]

Jude, have you tried the 'Pedestrian' sock pattern. Very vanilla and free on Ravelry. I use that pattern exclusively for socks for my hubby. It's a lovely pattern for using self-striping yarn. Great video but I will have to come by again to watch the last part! Kate. Shetland.

[@winterdoescrafts]

this is just what i needed right now, thanks for the video! ❤

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Great to see you - 2 sheds and now 3 desks? You've gone all alpha! 🤣 Take care xx

[@bookbunny9]

The one day I had to myself on a research trip to the Netherlands, Stephen & Penelope was closed! One day... 🤞

[@godshounds]

as a fellow not-super-masculine trans guy, i feel you on the sock dysphoria. it's cool to hear about your journey re-knitting yourself an affirming wardrobe, especially because we have similar aesthetics & i find new stuff to bookmark!

[@Lennongrils]

If you like hockey novels, you should give Beartown (by Frederik Backman) a go. I'm a big fan of him and hadn't read a hockey novel before but really enjoyed that one. I believe it's the first book in a series of three as well.

[@JustFluffyQuiltingYarnCrafts]

Very good update vlog. Excited about the harvest and what you've done with that bounty. Shop update is beautiful. TFS! ❤

[@michellehenderson2773]

Hi Jude I'm catching up😊 your brighten up my day your doing well with the gardening and the house😊 love all the colours of yarns gorgeous xx

[@sophiebrettell3631]

Hi Jude - wonderful to watch you as always - I'm a bit south from you (Newcastle) and this year my tomatoes failed miserably (I had other stuff going on and didn't look after them), but last year I made green tomato pickles with my unripened tomatoes from a recipe I found online. They were amazing! Supposed to be eaten with cold meats, but I ate them alongside winter stews and all sorts....

[@StrandedDyeworks]

Ooh I might have to try that! My mum made a huge vat of green tomato chutney one year - for the same reason!

[@lynnesanders8215]

So good to see you and to see you so cheerful. Jam, hiking, ice hockey and wild water swimming. Sounds like Scotland. Tossing the Caber next???? Love and hugs from Lynne in London. I have added you to my hoard of Grandsons if you don't mind?

[@DianeS2023]

I went to watch the flyers twice but OMG I hate getting cold lol.

[@janemarchant2558]

So good to see you Jude, glad you are doing well. Great video as always xxx

[@pamanderson5841]

Thank you Jude for brightening my morning!!! ❤

[@lizreed8081]

Completely wonderful podcast and update-thank you. Loved hearing about everything and take good care

[@CarrieMtn]

I’ve never been to Scotland (someday I hope) but when I went to Dublin march 2019, crazy people were swimming NAKED in the sea. Frigid weather! I’m accustomed to cold weather being from Colorado, but I was on the shore watching wearing my puffy coat with a wool sweater! Lol! Is that what you’ll do throughout the winter?

[@janatherton9194]

In Scotland there is something similar on New Year's Day in South Queensferry, people get together to swim in the Forth for local charity organisations, one of my former work colleagues used to do it every year.

[@jimmydoesknitting]

Gonna march my tush down to S&P and check out what they have on the rack. I'm thinking Lento for my mother? Love the pod.

[@alywilliams2581]

Great catch up video Jude - thank you. So much going on so take it steady. Love the Lighthouse Keeper jumper ... try one last push push on finishing that sleeve before you are plunged into a Scottish winter! ❄It'll be fab to be able to wear on your hill walks. Got my Stranded Elf skein a week or so back - love it and looking forward to winding it ready to knit 😊

[@maureenlehman139]

Enjoyed knitting with you this afternoon.

[@MrsKWheatley]

Hiya, Jude. When my husband didn't understand why yarn was so expensive, I asked him to compare distillery single malt and Famous Grouse. Then the penny dropped!

[@StrandedDyeworks]

Oh that’s a great comparison!!

[@jillipepper5353]

Lovely to see your video pop up today, glad to hear you’re having fun with friends, the house is progressing. The cold swimming makes me shiver brrrr. Canada is all about the hockey, the ice might have gone in the rinks already so teams will have the sticks on the ice in no time. No hockey in house though, granddaughter plays rugby and basketball, grandson is basketball and drama with some swimming thrown in. Son in law has played soccer since he was a wee kid and still does. My daughter is a paddler in canoe and kayak…….I knit 😂. Take care, have a great fall 🙋🏼‍♀️

[@nokesbob2256]

Did I misunderstand when you said moving in 18 months? If you are, where are you moving to? I love your sweater. It's making me think I need some tweed yarn! Love the new colors in the shop. I've got some favorites of yours I hope to one day get. I hope that what ever is keeping you from Rhinebeck Is something you are looking forward to. Sometimes just being home and making your living space the perfect place to be happy, is everything. Thank you for the update. I really enjoy hearing about what you are doing.

[@kellyfazekas7831]

Shell beans, shuck corn.

[@cindyfrye3026]

Congratulations on your studio upgrade! I am working on setting up a craft room in my house. My chair arrived. Have you heard of a saddle chair? That is what I bought. I opted for the no back one. I put it together and am trying it out. I am so surprised at how much I am enjoying it. The adjustable height function is much better fit than my regular desk chair. My two skeins of Stranded Elf came this week. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!!!

[@heathertucker7056]

Love your almost finished sweater! It’s going to look well on you Jude. Great to see you and hear about multiple desks! I think you have multiple sheds and now multiple desks! What’s going on? Take care.

[@StrandedDyeworks]

Hahaha right?! Two sheds! Three desks! I am living my best life!

[@KateColors]

Good to see you. You have been busy! Thank you for catching us up. Hope you had a good time outside in nature. Your spinning is gorgeous as are your colorways. Take care. ❤

[@janegarnier5693]

Come on the Stars.😍 we love ice hockey in Dundee too.💕

[@carolinedubose5136]

So glad to see you this morning Jude!! Going to the hockey game sounds like fun!! You could always knit the fingering weight merino yak yarn double for a sweater for yourself Jude!!

[@Orcadianknitter]

Loved the video Jude. Loved my Stranded Elf yarn too.

[@suemount6042]

Fabulous just got in totally knackered got a drink and there you were just what I needed Jude thanks. you have a lunch desk I’m impressed lol

[@martinsw4711]

so happy to hear about the Check Please! fanfiction! I love those so much The sweater looks beautiful too

[@StrandedDyeworks]

Check Please! Is SO good!! Oh my.

[@rebeccaswanson2736]

Received my Stranded Elf order- I love it !! You and Laura with the hockey fan fiction 😂

[@elainedraper5267]

My stranded elf yarn is lovely, can't wait to knit it up. Not sure what it is going to be though.

[@StrandedDyeworks]

I’m so glad you like it!

[@christinewalsh9444]

Hi Jude thank you for the video, you dye such beautiful yarn, and I love your jumper the color is fab.take care have a wonderful day 😊

[@tinekejoldersma]

"I can't parallel park my car, I am bad on two legs", made me roar with laughter. Hockey is ice hockey, I guess? Cause hockey is for something completely different. 🤣 Oh, a new kitchen after Christmas, sounds perfect. I love the fall-coloured yarn. Wet suit all the way for sea swimming. Never go alone though. The Sea is a dangerous place to swim alone.

[@StrandedDyeworks]

So hockey in the U.K. is also not ice hockey - I’ve fallen into the American trap of calling ice hockey, hockey. Haha. I’m glad to have some wild swimming pals to go with!

[@tinekejoldersma]

@@StrandedDyeworks and take some lessons from lifeguards about sea current and how to escape it. Save lives. 😘

[@thatguywhoknits2988]

You get sock dysphoria, and I get hat dysphoria. Gotta love the trans experience 😂 Much love from a masc non-binary viewer in Canada ❤

[@kimwassenberghull4064]

So happy to see you! I love Hockey and going to the games in person is one of my favorite things. I finally started my yarn dyeing business this summer and have my yarn in a shop. We had the Kansas City Yarn Crawl last weekend and it was super fun. I sold a bunch of yarn, so YAY! Hope you have a great week!

[@Julia-lz8vl]

New to your channel and really enjoyed your episode. :) I have the Salt and Timber book (it's so beautiful) and have been wanting to knit the lighthouse keeper pullover, but was reluctant because it apparently has no short row shaping for the neck... did you add any? Would love to hear your thoughts on the pattern ! :)

[@AliciaCardwell]

Just got my stranded elf yarn in the mail yesterday! Super awesome to see a podcast today!

[@StrandedDyeworks]

Ahhh I’m glad your Stranded Elf has arrived!!

[@clairenason4869]

NHL is amazing fast action. I love skating but never tried anything more than backyard hockey.

[@80sgma10]

I see a new yarn series based on your jams and produce!

[@beverleylawton6899]

Great to see you again…thank you for making this video. I want to sit with you at your kitchen table😂😂!! It sounds so perfect and interesting. I think you are amazing, with all that you achieve…no wonder you’re tired! Btw, I love how your jumper is turning out😊

[@LesliesLakeLife]

Perfect way to start a Friday. Thank you, Jude.

[@simonebourque1061]

Well Jude, once you eat homemade jam, you CANNOT go back to store bought! Tip; I buy bags of frozen fruit at the supermarket and I make homemade jam year round! Buy them on sale and they'll keep in the freezer til you have a day off. Plus they are already clean and hulled, easier than fresh

[@StrandedDyeworks]

Yessss!! I get frozen fruit for my breakfast smoothies! I’ve foraged a LOT of blackberries this year, and I also froze a lot of berries I got seriously reduced in the supermarket!

[@elliotteinhorn7277]

I really wanted to suggest to watch Roller Derby haha... Actually watching this episode after the training late in the evening.

[@elena---c1558]

if you listen to podfics you can consume fanfiction and knit at the same time

[@caitlinhirschler5525]

OMG Jude I am so late but fuck yes Check please fanfic!! I love Nursey x Dex 😍

[@aardyn8564]

I'm loving the longer slightly messy haircut you have going right now, it's much more natural looking. I've always found really short cut "neat" hair on a guy to be a "meh' myself. And I'm wanting to steal your lighthouse keeper that is coming out gorgeous and I don't currently have the time or motivation to knit one for myself lol.

[@StrandedDyeworks]

Ahh thank you! Trying to get the barber not to cut the top too short is a lifelong battle, haha!

[@tinekejoldersma]

@@StrandedDyeworks Going to the salon is a battle in itself, because..... it never is what we hoped for.

[@aardyn8564]

I have the same problem with getting my bangs cut. They always cut them shorter than asked, fortunately they grow out in a few weeks. @@StrandedDyeworks

[@TheKnittedBean]

Aren't live hocket games just absolutely a blast?? I am not really into ANY sport but my local hockey team? oh hell yeah. Love the gardening and putting things aside from it. I did a lot of that when I was physically able and I miss it (planning a garden that is accessible both now and for any future mobility loss now). I also understand how a good fanfic/fandom can suck you in so easily. Mine are different but there are some seriously talented writes out there.

[@barbararadzeviciusbondi4150]

I've just finished knitting your Litmus Cowl. I LOVE it. I used those gorgeous Hedgehog Fibers minis and a Grey British wool cone. I talk about it in a few of my podcast episodes recently on KZbin Bondi Crafter. I was wondering why you haven't charged for your pattern, even a few £ each would be great to buy international flight tickets or get stuff etc. I'm really happy with my free pattern though and I'd like to thank you personally for that. I just like listen to you talk about what you do there in Scotland. Cheers from Bondi Australia

[@lauraleecreations3217]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@Katisnaturalknits]

You were missed!

[@CarrieMtn]

Does UK hockey have “more cowbell?”

[@StrandedDyeworks]

I had to Google this! People take cowbells to sporting events?!

[@CarrieMtn]

@@StrandedDyeworks i guess that means no -cowbells are not used in UK hockey. Now you have a mission -if you choose to accept- convince everyone in Scotland that they need more cowbell! 🏒 🥅

[@Vanquished24]

Professionally tired. Never related to something more.

[@StrandedDyeworks]

Right?!? Haha
