Hello and welcome! In today’s episode, I’m catching you up on my latest finished projects and all that's inspiring me for fall knitting. 🍂

[@kkhan8628]

'It's the dickie of hoods" 😂 oh my goodness that earned an out loud chuckle 🤭 Also your hair is beautiful ❤️

[@StoneyLakeTextiles]

I’m so upset this morning. After spending the last 4 days working on Etsy orders from your video review Tayler, I woke up this morning to see my Etsy shop suspended with no email stating why. 😢😢😢 I’m sorry for those who ordered the Purl from my Etsy but I know Etsy will refund your purchase. But I’m at a total loss as to why my 12 year old 5 star shop was suspended. I just wanted to let you know. Thanks again for the absolutely lovely review of my Purl project tote. Emerance

[@marythomas5886]

It is the dickie of hoods! I love it! I never thought that I would make one of these, but this one is great!

[@SarahElwick]

Yes I am so with you on the summertime blues. Much more of a cosy temperate weather girl. Thanks for the affirmation!

[@anneallen9947]

Lovely to see you this morning. I'd been missing your cheerful, effervescent self. 😊

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Oh thank you Anne. That makes my day. So good to be back after a much-needed break. 😘❤️

[@SupermodelKara]

I live about 4 hours west of Vegas in California and when you talked about the summer blues and summer sadness, OMG YES!!!! I experience the same thing! triple digit dry heat for 2 straight months has me hiding in my house too. I hate the heat and I am so glad to see summer go away. I'm so glad you took a little break and feel refreshed again, sometimes that is so needed. Also I never knew I needed a knit hood until today but I NEED a knit hood now because that is sooo cute!

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Yes! Right? It's just too much. So happy to see the heat starting to taper off. And you definitely do need a hood. I felt the same way when I first started seeing them and now I love them! ❤️

[@katserpaful]

I love it ( the slit cowl). I’ve done that by accident before,too. I have also done a double slit that you can wear at your shoulder. Also so cool. 😊

[@deborahcollins6249]

I absolutely love the hood. Totally agree with leaving off the i-cord. The deconstructed finish is perfect. Going to scout my stash and make one for the fall (also my fav season!)

[@jenniferjohnson9335]

So good to see you back! I'm getting caught up on my delinquent viewing since our play closed. I have cast on another Christmas stocking for my daughter-in-law. I'm going to Poland to hopefully hand-deliver her stocking and my granddaughter's. It may still be in progress when we fly over, however. I love your hood cowl and split neck cowl! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@jennyvonderruhr5403]

Ohhh! Love that split collar cowl you came up with! ( also - “ the Peter Pan” cowl- love the name!!!) One vote for you writing up the pattern! I would buy your pattern without a second thought!

[@CharlaDetjens]

Summertime blues--yes! I was just feeling this way a few days ago and I felt like I must be the only one! Fall can’t come soon enough for me!

[@Online_Annie]

The hood is fabulous and your hair poking out is just flat cute. The cowl is interesting...it really works with that split...and the button would really finish it. I would call it the "Split End Cowl". I have no creativity. 😂 I'm working on a Saturday cowl right now, but I think I am going to cast on something similar to yours very soon. I love a good drawstring bag. I gravitate to thrifted bags, but rarely come across a bag with a drawstring. Love your podcasts...

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Thank you so much Annie! I love the 'split end cowl'! ❤️

[@katieosborne5203]

Loved Slewfoot.

[@mundanemornings]

Hi from the Deep South! We are experiencing summertime sadness here as well! I really think reverse seasonal depression is real for us in the sweltering heat. This podcast has me SO EXCITED for knitting and cozy weather!!!!! And for restarting Harry Potter. :)

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Hi Kayla! See, you know what I'm talking about. It's just too much. Time for the chilly days. So glad you're feeling excited for the autumn knitting season. And for Harry Potter! Love it. ❤️

[@Kera.S.]

Deep south neighbor here and yes! This heat and humidity is brutal at best! Woo❣️

[@nikkigrossman4244]

Love your open cowl creation!!! So fun and unique!

[@nikkigrossman4244]

I'm also waiting waiting waiting for fall here in blazing hot central Califorina.

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Oh I bet!! Brutal right now for y’all. It’s coming. I can feel it. Not much longer. 🤞🤞🍂🍂

[@lindahansen8141]

Rockport, MA is lovely!

[@SarahSedwick]

I can tell that you are back at it with renewed energy! Thanks for getting me even more stoked for fall, Tayler. :)

[@stonewallsfarm3105]

Rockport MA- If you like great artwork, consider a trip to Gloucester to see Stapleton Kearns’ gallery. Awesome work by Charles Movalli and Stape’s wife Dale Ratcliff. If you go, say hi from Nancy in WV! Loved the hood. Nothing like finding the series that clicks to get a kid reading!! (HP movies are waaay scarier than the books!). Have a fun trip in Oct.

[@jackiecate]

Always love your videos! I just started listening to Slewfoot today- it’s really good!

[@beckymadison1926]

Wow! I played Rebecca Nurse in my high school’s production of The Crucible. 😮❤

[@my4kitties]

The first thing I thought of when seeing your cowl was a polo shirt.

[@PolishandPurls]

My partner and I are going through Flanagan’s Netflix shows. We finished Haunting of Hill House which inspired me to read the book of the same name by Shirley Jackson! We’re currently watching the Haunting of Bly Manor and I’ve got the book Turning of the Screw (by Henry James) on my TBR as the show is loosely based on the book. Midnight Mass is next on the “to watch” list!

[@ashleighnorris]

I’d love the Peter Pan cowl pattern!! 🎉😊

[@katherinegannett]

Yes, the cowl has a strong Peter Pan collar vibe.

[@judith6991]

If you like cardigan’s. The flurry from Ankestrik is made of the isager ecosoft. I made that cardigan 3 times and use different kinds of yarnweights for it. I ommitted the texture. It’s a quick knit and doesn’t uses a lot of yarn eighter. I loved you yarn pairing of your hood. I realy enjoyed your episodes where you talked about colour. It’s inspirering. I looking for a mohair to pair with a colour. i wil go back at you mohair pairing podcast.

[@jilliankonig2759]

What a nice deep slouchy turtleneck the beige cowl would make on a cozy sweater!

[@Millie.C]

Welcome back and thank you for the inspiration! I have already decided that I want to make that hood in orange and green for pumpkin season. 🤩

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Thank you! And yes! I love those colors for your hood! Great Pumpkin season is nigh! 🤓🎃😊

[@andreatannahill645]

Another great video. I love the finished pieces & the new projects. Looking forward to seeing how the cardigan & the sweater turn out.

[@dianejoel717]

I love watching you try on your accessories. I’m just smiling 😊 watching you.

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Thank you Diane. 😘😘

[@crystalblue38883]

Never would have thought I would want ot knit a hood!! Yet seeing it in full glory and seeing all the knitters on rivalry with their hoods was intriguing. Love your collar cowl creation too. Would like to see that in some various colors. Thanks for an inspiring podcast.

[@vibeiam]

The split color cowl is great. With the split to the front or to the side. But I think it would also be fabulous as a neckline for a sweater!

[@foleyjp1]

Welcome back. Hope you are well rested. You were definitely missed....I absolutely love the Harry Potter books and have read them twice and might read them again....

[@morelsonthetrail6920]

The PeterPan cowl is cool.

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Thank you!

[@Clbknits25]

So happy to have you back!! and that cowl is adorable and makes me want to knit one 🧡

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Thank you! So glad to be back. ❤️

[@rdeniserhinehart7512]

I totally agree about summer heat. Not loving in. I live in the central part of California. So hot this summer. I’m ssoooo done. Love me some fall and even the winter to wear my beautiful knits and sweaters and jackets

[@marynolan6627]

That cowl is adorable.....please let us know the det's!!!!!

[@karenb136]

Thanks so much for showing that Simple Hood pattern. I ran right to Ravelry and bought it. I have been wanting to make just a hood with a cowel for ages. That is exactly what I wanted. 🧶

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Oh good! My pleasure. I really enjoyed it and I’m sure it’ll be just the ticket for you.

[@foxbanefibers1341]

So I live in Texas, also raised here, and I feel you on the summer blues. It is so stinking hot and sticky! I also feel you on the hair. I’ve been doing lots of pony tails and braids.

[@colettemoolman4410]

I think you look so good with the longer hair, just lovely. If your hair gets frizzy from static build-up, pull a section of hair between a piece of tin foil. It removes the static. A temp quick fix

[@kaitlinsenter1456]

Hey! I’m in Texas & just took my kids to Maine. We flew into Boston & stopped in Salem on our way up & it was gorgeous & perfect & amazing. You’ll have a blast!

[@susanclapier6027]

You have inspired me again. I have the perfect yarn for this project and can see it as Christmas gifts too !❤

[@jodyo1814]

I’m so pleased I’m not the only one who craves the autumn and the cooler temperatures 😂 also congratulations on getting your mojo back and finishing 2 projects 👏🏻 that split collar cowl suits your style perfectly ❤

[@jeannebevins3628]

Love the cowl😊

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Thank you! ❤️

[@woolenfeet]

I lived in Las Vegas for 7 years, and was back to visit at the end of July, and I agree about this summer being very hot. I also agree about the summertime blues, even living somewhere cooler now!

[@cynthiawick216]

Your hair is looking great!

[@mcjanine551]

I just knit Steve Plummer's Hagrid Illusion shawl just because. Feelin' the Harry vibe as well.

[@gloriaa3652]

Understand! Could not live in Nevada, the South, a lot of the US, a lot of the world. Here in the Pacific Northwest it drops to 50’s and 60’s at night. Spring and autumn are lovely . And the beaches are usually soft, windy environments with wild grasses billowing and an occasional person and their dog walking along the water. My kind of place! Will wish you some of our cool days (summer is basically over) and stormy, rainy nights

[@elisemenz9387]

From getting back in the Grind (Groove) which feels fantastic to having my annual serious Summer Sadness (Oklahoma 🥵 💨) to the non stifling neck slit in your cowl!!!! Taylor! I could not agree more with you! Love this episode!! Side note you say “over THE top” instead of the what I keep hearing “over top” and my ears say thank you! I love the way you speak ⭐️

[@elisemenz9387]

Also I’ve had cozy fall KZbin on most of the summer 😂

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

So glad this one resonated with you Elise! Thank you for watching and here’s to those cooler days to come. 😘😘

[@woollynn4978]

To everyone who likes the cowl, look up Split Decision by Pam Sapienza. It is a $3.00 pattern on Ravelry. I knit it in the suggested yarn and it is one of my favorite cowls!

[@littlesammyf7380]

Thank you! That is going on my projects list

[@shanamcguire5815]

I live in North East Oklahoma and we also have 100+ days. I’ve never thought of them as summer blues. Mind blown. I never, never get winter blues.

[@edinacole6382]

Your cowl has a lovely design element which makes is classy! Great job

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Thank you Edina!

[@ateacozyisasometimes]

The hood is so cute! That colour is so incredibly cozy too. Good riddance summer is right - can’t wait for fall and winter!

[@Youhavetoread]

I’m so ready for cooler weather. We have had non stop 100+ (F) days since July (which is typical where I live). I am over it.

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

So 👏 over 👏 it 👏. 😘

[@sandravt2168]

Please don't talk about the end of summer yet... 😁 We (in Bavaria) have four more weeks of Summer Holiday before school starts! From all the German states, we in the south have to wait the longest, but it's still warm and lovely and 'm enjoying the sun to the maximum :) Crocheting potholders, beach totes and amigurumi at the moment. It doesn't mean I don't love your hood. I've also been secretly looking into balaclava hood patterns, because winters here in the Alps are long and cold and my husband and I will definitely wear those. But I won't start until mid September. Good to see you back, wishing you and your family a good back to school and work!

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Enjoy your summer! If my summer were anything like a Bavarian summer, I'd be right there with you, but summer in the Mojave Desert just doesn't have the same appeal. 🤣. Happy knitting on all of your projects and soak up some of that beautiful Bavarian sunshine for me. 😘

[@graciebell9286]

The hood is fantastic. A sparkle pin might be pretty on the split cowl at the holidays….

[@maricarolmagill8764]

Another place in the Northeast that is spooky is Sleepy Hollow NY. They do a lot of headless horseman stuff. Decades ago we went with our kid’s Cub Scouts and they all loved it!

[@deniseyoung3738]

That is funny about you and Summer. I live in the Seattle area and I get cranky if we have more than 5 sunny days in a row. This has been a rough summer. Thanks for the fun video!

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

I love that. I totally understand. For me, the constant hot sun is oppressive. Like, go away for a bit you know. I’m my best and truest self when there are clouds in the sky. 😂 In fall and winter, it’s not much of an issue since the sun sits lower in the sky and has a different “feel” to it. But summer sun is overrated. ❤️

[@johnsipf6834]

I love the cowl. It's a rustic little flair!

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Thank you!!

[@bg7491]

Yessss, summer sadness. I wish that September and October could last forever!

[@leaxpops]

I wish I could share your warm fall vibes. Sadly I’m heading into spring and summer and I’m already loathing it.

[@ltravis17]

I love your channel. I learn so many different things each time. Thank you.

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

I'm so glad! Thank you for watching. ❤️

[@kayladernier1314]

I was just thinking how great your hair has been looking!

[@JustWriter]

Hi Missus Earl, I like your collar cowl, and don't worry; your hair looks fabulous. Also, your video cover made me laugh out loud.

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Thank you friend! 😘

[@terryplace9069]

I live in southern Massachusetts and my daughter is the makeup director for a haunted house called fear town so we get into the haunted house season heavy here lol, you’re going to love Salem! Fun fact …One of my ancestors ran from the witch trials and settled in Bridgewater

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

SO COOL! Wow. I love that bit of family history. I'm crazy about that part of our country's history. 🧙❤️

[@maryhoge247]

You've inspired me to make a split cowl for myself. It looks so relaxed and comfy.

[@arynray]

Your previous video on knitted hoods really inspired me to knit one for myself. I'm so happy to see yours completed, too! Love your yarn choices! I just used some stashed yarn for mine, but it came out so well and was such a pleasant knit (I used the Ollie pattern by Emilie Luis) that I bought yarn to make one for each of my boys.

[@LisaMattison-i9e]

Oh. My. Goodness!! I had to pause the video and order the hood pattern!!😂❤️ That is so adorable!!! I just love it! Will make nice Christmas gifts! ☺️ Ok, now to the rest of the podcast/video!!💕💕

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

So glad you like it! It's a fun knit too. Very relaxing and cozy. ❤️

[@valeriehowden471]

Kids aren't back to school til September here in our province. Our July was hot and August has been much kinder - low to mid 20C. Think room temperature 😊. Very cute hood and cowl. A hood is on my to-do list after I finish up 2 cardis. Half way thru 1 which is using About Strings. Love the yarn. Bought thru Amazon however next purchase will be thru their website - got coupon with the Amazon lot. 🎉 Now I have to water my garden. Many thanks for all you chat about. Enjoy Salem!

[@AnneWiley-vp5rj]

Love the hood! And the split collar cowl!

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Thank you!

[@danitigges6105]

❤ Love your Good Books lately - book review w/ husband KZbin videos! Also super cute polo-collared cowl ❤

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Thank you so much! We really enjoy doing it. So glad you’re enjoying it as well. ❤️

[@samanthamund5194]

I feel like the cowel has a bit of a tailored mid century modern feel to it in my mind went to Audrey Hepburn so maybe the Audrey or the Hepburn? Imagine it with big black sunglasses glasses…

[@phoenixhulsey2868]

Oh my gosh, I've totally been feeling the Harry Potter lately too! I gravitate towards it and always want to rewatch the movies or listen to the audio book in fall. I'm actually knitting a letter sweater for myself this year 🙃

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Ooo I bet the audio books are so good. I know they’re narrated by Stephen Fry and I love his narrations. Great idea! And a letter sweater would be a fun knit. ☺️

[@NainOnHyva]

Your hair is perfect the way it is! I love the curls 🥰

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Thank you so much. 🥰

Happy to see you back!!!

Have you found a good way to balance a life, books and knitting? I love them both so much. Love both your podcasts.

Love the book recommendation. I'm fascinated by the Puritans so I will read for sure. Fall is my favorite too. I live in Austin, Texas. It's too darn hot.

Aww tysm for acknowledging the folks in the Southern Hemisphere (like me) haha... Agreed, autumn's def my fav season but I'm excited to head into spring!! 🌷

Of course! I know y'all are down there watching and I gotta send you some of this Northern Hemisphere love. 😘

[@dianejoel717]

I ❤love the hood!

[@nancyvalanzola1479]

I love both the hood and your cowl! Yes, please, to the colorway Kalamata from Blueface Luster if you ever feel inspired to do so! You have given me the much-needed push to finish my crochet hood and then attempt the Simple Knit Hood afterward. I always enjoy your videos. Thank you for the fun and inspiration, Tayler.

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

My pleasure Nancy! Thank you for watching, as always.

[@yellowbirdknits2415]

Oh my gosh! I love that little peter pan collar cowl! So cute! I literally have to knit one now. I was hoping that you'd of said how many stitches you cast on and how long you knit before splitting. Unless you change your mind and put it out as a pattern. I'd totally buy it.Thanks Tayler for another great episode 🙂

[@CatherineKelly-zz5ry]

Missed you! Love the hood it looks so cute. The cowl is great what a nice surprise. I have a cardigan on my needles, first one, fingers crossed. Just finished The Women, about women who served in Vietnam especially nurses. Have a good week.

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Thank you Catherine! And I've heard such good things about The Women. I hope you're enjoying it! ❤️

[@divinelyengineered]

That cowl looks like a polo collar! Its super cute as is, but Im envisioning it tucked into a tshirt or other long sleeve shirt and the "collar" bit poking out over the shirt like you would wear a button up under a sweater.

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

OMG yes!!! LOVE this idea!

[@maryp1224]

Enjoyed this podcast! love all the spooky talk....lol gonna read Slewfoot! and definiately the hood! so cute

Let me know how you like Slewfoot! And if you can or prefer it, the audiobook is superb. 😊

[@janetkemper9177]

I love the hood! I didn’t know that I wanted one, but now I do. You have piqued my interest with the book, I may have to check it out. Summer, though I enjoy it, it is my least favorite, I always look forward to fall. I’m originally from MA & will be headed that way this week and in October. You picked the perfect time to go!

[@lindac3647]

Taylor, you need to check out the Bookshelf Sweater by Tomomi Yoshimoto!

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

I just saw it!! ADORABLE!!

[@Katepwe]

It’s still summer here in saskatchewan Canada…….28-31 celcius this week. I don’t really like hot summer days either, it makes me feel unwell, tired and bitchy…..temps in the low 20’s are way more enjoyable. School here doesn’t start until September 4.

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

I love this. Unwell, tired and bitchy. Perfectly put. We are the same. Here's to cooler days ahead! 😘

[@kayhammock]

The hood looks like a fun knit. Love your cowl with the split. Cowls are so easy and fast knits. Unfortunately I've pulled my rotator cuff and still having pains.

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Oh Kay, I’m so sorry to hear about your shoulder. Pulling a rotator cuff is no joke. It’s amazing how much we can’t do when that happens. Take good care. Ice is nice. Rest is best. 😘

Hi Tayler, Salem, Mass shouldn't be that crowed since your going before Halloween. I have been there on Halloween & it's not that bad either.

[@DreamingofColette]

Sweater care question! I’ve been so inspired to make a sweater of my own for the first time after watching you and a couple other KZbinrs make some gorgeous sweaters. My only hang up is that I want to use fibers (like wool, mohair, silk, etc) that seem to need delicate care. I have a baby boy, and while precious he can make quite the mess sometimes. How would you clean garments needing delicate care if they get dirty? Thanks!!

[@lawyer-skp]

Your hair is curly, gorgeous, and definitely not frizzy!!

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Thank you! I tend to feel I have a Hermione Granger, year 1 frizz about me from time to time 😂, so your compliment helps. ❤️

[@mrsmarlasinger5198]

This is literally the first year that I've been knitting in advance of colder temperatures, usually I start my knitting projects when it's already chilly outside :D When I saw you starting the hood on Instagram I got inspired and decided to follow suit. Love the tshirt by the way

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Same! It's nice to actually have something waiting in the wings for the cooler temps!

[@mrsmarlasinger5198]

@@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS definitely! We’re in the middle of a heat wave right now where I live, which is quite unusual, so I’m aching for that early fall cool mornings.

[@judyfick2967]

Spooky season tradition for me that you might enjoy...I listen to one of the narrations of the Legend of Sleepy Hollow on youtube every fall. (LibriVox version...2017)

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Omg yes! Great suggestion. Thank you! 🎃

[@visionofawallflower]

Welcome back! I always enjoy a new podcast from you 😊 I love that hood, now I feel like I need one in my life. I’m working on a huge reupholstering project right now(100 chairs by September 16th) so I don’t have time to knit right now, but the second I do I’m gonna make myself one of those hoods! I’ve got plenty of time before it starts to cool down here in Florida, it was 92 yesterday I think and I did in fact wear a sweater…so 😅 that hood could be a year-round wardrobe item for me. I swear your body adjusts to wherever you live. I grew up in the Midwest and could easily go without a coat in 30 degree weather, now if it gets below 70 I’m like “where’s my heated blanket?!”. I’m rambling, oh no! 😂 My husband and I are also binge watching all the Harry Potter films right now, we are currently half way through the goblet of fire 🔥. I’ll have to check out your book recommendation if I ever finish these chairs. It sounds interesting! We are also book nerds. I’ll have to link your booktube channel, he also has one! Though I have yet to make an appearance on it due to crushing social awkwardness. 😂 ok I should stop, haha. Have a lovely week! ❤

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Omg 100 chairs by September! That is QUITE a job. Such a physical one as well. Sending you finishing vibes to see it through. 💪 And we are the same in terms of how we adjust to our region's climate. It's sort of wild. And enjoy the Potter films! And do send me the link to your husband's channel! I'd love to check it out. ❤️

[@isabellemeunier9486]

Waw: I also decided to knit the Cocktail cardigan. Like you said, I choose that one for the DK weight (many cardigan I like were in worsted weight). I am just waiting for the yarn to cast that on! I had not such success with knitted cardigan so I hope that one will be THE one! 😅

[@purplelambfiberarts3030]

I would love to see a pattern for that nifty cowl you made! Also, do you have any pattern suggestions for a straightforward men's cardigan in a sock-weight yarn? I want to make one for my hubby, and I'm not finding a lot.

[@carollundergan837]

My hubby and I live in Salem. October (especially late October) is insane lol!! Good idea to stay in Rockport. If you can, don't drive into Salem - it's impossible to get a spot. The commuter rail is much better and there's a station in Rockport. But if you do decide to drive in, get here very early and park at the train station so you can make a quick exit into North Salem without having to drive through downtown. :)

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Thank you so much for this advice! We’ll definitely hold off on driving. I can imagine that it’s crazy. My biggest draw is the House of the Seven Gables. I’ve done the tour before, but it was June then. I’ll need to book it ahead of time. ❤️

[@carollundergan837]

@@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS Yes, definitely book ahead (we were just there a couple of weekends ago with my brother and sister-in-law who were visiting from North Carolina!) And be aware that most restaurants in Salem will not allow reservations during October. It truly is crazy-time but I think it's worth it. Everybody is in costume and the energy and vibe is amazing! :)
