[@marquesn77]

Awwww being from RI - New England is so close to my heart 💕💕💕

[@juliamontagne01]

Thank you for posting a new video! Your videos are always calming and beautiful and I always look forward to new ones!

[@Mandarines]

That is so kind! I'm hoping to share more content here as the camera is very portable and easy to use on a daily basis!

Hello from Australia Weird that I haven't knitted in anything in about 2years and yet was about to buy some wool on Friday. Only found this channel yesterday..love it. 🙏🐝

[@my_alchemy]

Your podcast was the very first one I've ever watched and it's still my very favorite. You have such a soothing voice and calm way about you! Thank you for sharing bits and pieces of your days with us!💕

[@Mandarines]

Thank you so much for your kind words dear Shawna 💕💕💕

[@lyndawells4507]

Thank you so much for sharing your life with us

[@maryzcorner]

It is so lovely for you to post videos again for everyone. I have missed your posts and sadly at this time I can't do the paid sponsorship. ( I can't think of the name right now.) Blessings

[@Mandarines]

Hello Mary! Thank you for taking the time to post a comment here! I have missed posting content here! I really love sharing little moments of my day working or exploring the city, so I hope that with the new camera, I'll be able to share more regularly 😊

[@H3alingVib3s]

just discovered ur channel and i'm in love! you re-ignited my desire of knitting! (i'm a total beginner):))

[@lesleydavis5293]

How am I just now finding your vlog?! It’s so soothing and lovely. My question is “what is the name of pattern program are you using? “ By the way you have a new subscriber 😁

[@poonamrathore1007]

After soooo many days found again u on youtube……ur blogs r soooo sooothing….addicted to these vlogs ……how many projects will u complete in a week….plz respond…..love frm India

Lovely to sit down with you again! 🤗 I know you mentioned switching to Paleo lately and was wondering what you put in your coffee? Any advice is appreciated as I'm doing the same for health reasons.

[@Mandarines]

Hello Maria! Yes! I switched over a year ago! Though I must say that I'm not 100% paleo as I still consume rice (that's the only grain that I eat). So I always use rice milk for my coffee

[@MG-vi9bv]

Thank you Melody! 💜 Trying to be kinder to myself and go that route for the sake of my hormones and thyroid. Being half Korean, I was feeling very upset about no rice! 😆

[@Mandarines]

This is SO important. I cannot even tell you how much of a positive change this journey has been. If you have hypothyroidism, I would highly suggest you to have a look at zinc and selenium supplements. That's the only medication that I'm taking to try to reverse the effects of the disease, and the results have been phenomenal (oh and make sure that you VIT D is optimal as well, oh and iron+ ferritin!) And YES, I'm totally with you. I couldn't imagine life without rice! Geeezzzz 😆😆😆

[@MG-vi9bv]

🤗Thank you SO much! I will definitely look into it! So glad I found your inspiring podcasts. I can't wait to see the project with Echoview yarn, they're amazing and 20 minutes from me! Enjoy your day!

[@libbywalsh358]

My first podcast with you and I really like it......would like to see a little more of what you are knitting etc....but maybe I need to check out other ones. Thank you

Hi Melody, regarding your eyes getting tired from the computer: it could be a good idea to get a different prescription from the optometrist for the distance from you eyes to where your computer screen usually is. They can measure that short distance and see where the focal point should be. That could be your “computer glasses”. Your eyes then don’t have to strain so hard when looking at the computer. I think it will be much nicer. Also, lots of mini breaks where you look away from the screen help, but I’m sure you already know this ☺️

[@Mandarines]

Thank you so much for your input! My eyes were actually getting tired from NOT wearing my glasses! I do spend a LOT of time on the computer though, so even with the glasses, I feel that I get get migraines sometimes as I don't tend to take enough breaks...🤗 I'm super guilty of that!

[@koskaloca]

Very inspired post =) I love to watch it as I learn quite a lot about the process of creating a knitting pattern. Which camera did you buy? Would you review it?

[@Mandarines]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I got a Canon G7 Mark II. It's still quite new to me, so I'm not familiar with all its functionalities, but so far I'm really enjoying it! It's super light, very portable, the video quality is really lovely! The only thing is that the sound quality is not great, but I'm still VERY happy with it!

[@koskaloca]

I can see is really great image =) I hope you enjoy it for long time. Looking for your next post , wish you a very happy and productive week .

[@liliyoshisato3406]

Hello Melody, I am super curious as to how you are able to be a full-time knitter? I am a island girl from Hawaii and I am unable to work due to health issues and I am really looking into becoming a full-time knitter because I love knitting obviously. But I am so afraid of failing, do you have any pointers? I always love watching your vlogs it always inspires me to pursuit this dream of mines. Thank you for showing your knitty little life. It fills my weeks with so much happiness.

[@Mandarines]

Hello Lili! Do you mean knitting or designing? Thank you so much for your sweet words 💕

[@MeezerGurlMakes]

I was wondering this too - both knitting and designing. Do you have a partner that works outside the home so all the bills are not soley your responsibility? I'm a new sub and enjoying your channel.

[@Mandarines]

Both of us are working full time! 💕

[@MeezerGurlMakes]

Thanks for answering! Could you support yourself if you were single? It's pretty much my dream job. 💕

[@lacyoflittlerobincottage1403]

I've been purchasing my eyeglasses from Firmoo for a couple of years now,. They're great and a lot less expensive then anywhere else.

[@Mandarines]

I had never heard heard of them before they approached me actually (haha). I'm loving my glasses to pieces! 😊

[@Tabeasknitting]

I loved this video, I almost feel like after a meditation!

[@heycrisper]

May I ask what tea you are drinking in that lovely pitcher?

[@Mandarines]

I think I was only drinking coffee! haha!

[@simiaosun3719]

the musique begins from 3:35 is really beautiful, someone knows the name of it?

[@sobiamalik6001]

Hi how are you doing. Just want to ask have ever knitted teapot cosy please. I am looking forteapot cosy tutorials can’t find any good thanks.

[@aeastman59]

it was so nice to see this update this morning! Looks so nice over there in Riga! the Bien Amie yarn colors are beautiful but Im so surprised you are using a superwash yarn!

[@Mandarines]

It's been too long! But I think that with the new camera, I'll be able to record more footage from now on! I do not tend to work with superwash a whole lot. I only have a handful of these in my stash actually 😊

[@MarilynWiley]

I have always loved your knitting videos. I can not afford to be patron but why do none patron get a coffee vlog ramble. Cant you show us any knitting at all and talk about what i new on the needles? Just disappointed as to where these past vidoes have gone.

[@Mandarines]

Capturing these little moments of work during my day, walks in the park, visits of yarn shops really make me happy, and I thought that it could be of some interest to other knitters 😊
