[@denisewessman1079]

Wonderful episode. . I enjoy the peacefulness of your podcasts

[@thebluebirdbox]

Thanks again, Denise!!

[@janiswells8842]

I always enjoy your podcasts and seeing the designs you come up with. You are always knitting something different from the regular patterns that are out there. I feel like you are a deep well of talent and ideas. Keep it up!

[@thebluebirdbox]

Oh thank you! I have a lot of ideas, it’s the following up that’s hard 😅😂

[@joanmather7218]

I appreciate the items/topics that aren't the traditional WIP, FO, Acquisitions. And I like the outdoor video. Thank you.

[@CharleneRichards13]

I’m enjoying your podcast, I love seeing your sheep and hearing your stories. Keep up the good work 👍🏼

[@jo-annefalconer6280]

I love seeing your farm the sheep following you was cute. Your designs are lovely.

[@heathergoldsmith]

I really enjoy listening to you while I knit. You have a soothing manner and voice. I love seeing what you are up to. Your upcoming sweater pattern will be so worthwhile. 💜

[@thebluebirdbox]

I hope so ❤️❤️❤️

[@JeanetteWalker]

I love your patterns and podcast. You're doing a great job and I believe that sometimes letting things grow organically without too much strategic planning keeps it fun and less stressful. Thanks for all you do!!

[@thebluebirdbox]

So true!

[@denisewells6856]

I forget how much I love listening to your thoughtful and calming podcasts. Thank you!

[@thebluebirdbox]

Thanks Denise!

[@lisaflorkowski22]

The new camera/phone is great! Another enjoyable episode.

[@jean-jn3nq]

So stoked to hear that you are producing a pattern that is as pretty as the Garti Cardi. It is so pretty and as an adventurous beginner it totally fits with my desire to have a doable pattern. Thank you so much. 👏🙂👏

[@thebluebirdbox]

I really hope it ends up as a pattern! I'm stuck on it atm.

[@jean-jn3nq]

@@thebluebirdbox that is so hard when feeling stuck like that. I am told in my training as a therapist to “go back to one.” Over the years I have interpreted that to mean keep it simple. Not sure if that applies to being a fiber artist or not ... either way I really enjoy your podcast and think your work is wonderful 👏🙂👏

[@Zentiful]

I really enjoyed story time. The new phone is working out well also. Keep going, I am enjoying your designs and the videos of your interactions with your beautiful animals :)

[@thebluebirdbox]

Thank you! I really hope to video more often this fall 😄

[@petrascheuber9897]

Hi Anna, it was perfect like this. Go on!!

[@maureenklettl4865]

The new phone works great! I enjoy hearing about Alberta yarn producers and dyers, and I like when you talk about your design process - how you added short rows in the shoulders, for instance. Loved seeing that big Alberta sky at the end - miss it!!

[@thebluebirdbox]

When I see a big open sky, I feel like I can breathe! It’s a gift to see this view every day 😍

[@beverlythompson3246]

Thumbs up to the new format! I would also enjoy some tales from your farm- it would be interesting to a city dweller like me😊 Thanks for sharing about your trip- I live near the Victoria airport so Beehive is one of my LYS. Looking forward to your pattern release in a few days. Your attention to detail really shows.

[@thebluebirdbox]

Lucky you! Beehive was amazing. I might need to consider doing a “farm” vlog 🤔

[@lorraineburkholder7684]

Love this episode! Thank you for the story time, I enjoyed it.

[@thebluebirdbox]

Glad to hear that 😄

[@tinekejoldersma]

Lovely how you mixed the colours. Gorgeous yak yarn 🥰one belly laugh is worth it, absolutely. Perfect you protect your kids against too harsh information through a podcast. Tip for the needles on a plane. Take an envelope stamped with your home address. If the security doesn't allow them you can send them home. It happened to me, they threw my expensive hooks away. Next time I at least can send them home. I think your format and your phone are okay. Live and learn 😉

[@thebluebirdbox]

That is really smart!

[@katherinehill3958]

I really enjoyed the format but if I’m being honest I’ve enjoyed them all. I appreciate when you take the time to explain the thought process and why you design a project a certain way. I have learned so much and am excited to try the short rows in the shoulder area to help with the neckline. I know you have mentioned Crux Fibres on your podcast previously and I believe she has tested for you. If you haven’t already she does a great podcast as well. I have learned quite a bit from her as well. I’m not sure if she is continuing it as she hasn’t posted in a bit but she has young kids and I’m sure September is busy with back to school. Another good podcast is The Knitty Stew. Leanne is from Calgary (me too) and she is a flight attendant. She does podcasts as she travels and showcases great yarn stores in the areas she is in. Thanks for taking the time as bf effort to make these. They are wonderful.

[@thebluebirdbox]

Hey Calgarian! Yes, I watch Brittany’s and Leanne’s podcasts! Great recommendations 🌟

[@betsyford4101]

👏👏 for the new format I follow you since the beginning and you're getting better and better 👍 we all learn ... 😉 yes you're an Artist your patterns and knitting always stunning 💥💫 waiting for the next one 😃😃 take care 🇫🇷 🗼🗼

Thank you for all the support, Betsy! I appreciate it ❤️

[@pamroebuck4764]

Totally love your podcast. I'll be by buying your sweater design too. Keep going x.

[@thebluebirdbox]

Thanks Pam!

[@wildcottageknitting]

Enjoyed the format, & the new phone took nice video! I’m really loving the colours in your garter cardigan

[@thebluebirdbox]

I’m really happy with how this video turned out! Yay!

[@leonieryan3139]

Thanks Anna, great content, I have always enjoyed your podcasts. I have been waiting for Lennox to land and it is nearly here!! Thank you for explaining the reasons for the delay, I find it really interesting. Enjoy your fall 🙂.

[@thebluebirdbox]

Yay! I’m so glad the Lennox kept your interest!

[@oritreuter5578]

I enjoy your podcast and ongoing effort.

[@kathleentanti4387]

Good to sit and knit and listen to you.

[@thebluebirdbox]

Thank you 😘

[@sassystringsyarnstudio]

Hahaha love the name of the episode - might have scared the dog when I laughed at it 🤣! It was so nice to see at Yarn Diva’s 🥰

[@thebluebirdbox]

Haha! And you knew exactly the story I was going to tell, didn’t you?? 😂😂

[@lisagilmore4519]

Absolutely love the new format….I started with episode 1 and this is great! Have a great evening

[@thebluebirdbox]

❤️😘

[@kimberlycase9057]

Fifty fabulous is another excellent podcadt

[@barbararoberts9315]

The video from your new phone is so much better! Loved the podcast 😊

[@thebluebirdbox]

Isn’t it, though?? ❤️

[@StudioNora]

Hi Anna, great episode, perfect for a morning in bed with coffee and gift knits ❤ Love the story time, it’s a bit like a sit and knit thing 😊 loved the last few scenes with your lovely sheep, how cuddly they are ❤❤

[@thebluebirdbox]

The boys like me better than the girls, they always come for scratches but the girls keep their distance 😂

[@FibreBound]

Congratulations on the upcoming release of your sweater! Its been lovely to sit and knit with you Anna! “I stole buttons” made me giggle! 😂

[@thebluebirdbox]

Oh thank you! I am nervous about it 😬, I hope it does ok after all this time! The Yarn Divas might have called me a clepto a couple times 😅

[@jerrahrobbins7110]

Hi Anna! I really enjoyed the podcast. I like the format of this one. The video and audio was really great! Your new phone seems to be doing its job well. I’ve enjoyed sitting and catching up with you. I find your podcast very calming, and relaxing (and enjoyable) to watch. 😊

[@thebluebirdbox]

Thanks for watching! ❤️

[@SheepandOak]

I love story time! I support this new format :)

[@thebluebirdbox]

Yes, me too!

[@helena145]

I love your thoughtful reflective style, as well the new format and the story topic. I think it’s fun to include something extra and personal like that. I also follow Fru Valborg (Swedish indie dyer) and at the end of every episode, they have a beer tasting section. Just as another example.

[@thebluebirdbox]

Beautiful people with accents, and they have 5 kids! I couldn't subscribe fast enough! Thanks for sharing.

[@lindarathburn735]

❤your podcast. I loved the story time and recommendations. I really liked the podcast with the bluebird banding as well. Happy Thanksgiving 🍁

[@thebluebirdbox]

Happy thanksgiving, Linda!

Really enjoyed this podcast, camera worked great. Hello from Nova Scotia

[@thebluebirdbox]

Hey! I hope you weren’t hit too hard by the hurricane!

[@maureencapotosto9257]

Great improvement with new phone. Also like story time.

[@thebluebirdbox]

Whenever I start recording, my brain shuts off. I hope that “storytime” will help me focus on what to say!

[@anitawessels3932]

Thanks for the podcasts

[@thebluebirdbox]

Thank you for watching 🥰

[@vickifenlon2235]

Loooove the blackberry sock yarn! And the leather buttons…

[@thebluebirdbox]

Its such a beautiful colour that goes with everything!

[@kimberlycase9057]

Hello, love your podcast. Recommendation for knitting podcast, the autumn acorn is wonderful, knitting traditions, knitting by the sea, you are a wonderful knitter, beautiful work, happy October to you and your family

[@thebluebirdbox]

Knitting by the sea is one I haven’t heard of! Thank you 😘

[@apippin774]

i put the needle tips in a pencil and pen container and they get scanned right though no problem, and the cords stay with the yarn

[@mdbenoit]

HI Anna, I like the new phone! It's definitely made a difference. I always enjoy the pace of your videos, it's like we're across the table from each other and chatting about knitting. The story section adds to that impression. Re. making money from KZbin, Roxanne Richardson just published an eye-opening KZbin video on just that subject, as she has reached 100K subscribers (took her 10 years to get there). If you're in it for the money, which she isn't either, you're getting into a lot of heartaches. It's worth watching! Happy Thanksgiving.

[@thebluebirdbox]

I will check out that video, thank you! Sometimes just knowing what others experience is helpful and takes pressure off! ❤️

[@barbaraamping5659]

Very interesting 😊

[@bennetdl]

I love your podcast! I find it very relaxing and it’s easy to knit on my project while I watch. Your camera is doing a wonderful job. What do you do with the fiber from your Shetland sheep? Are you a spinner?

[@thebluebirdbox]

I am in the process of trying to find a mill to send it to in order to get it spun into yarn 😍

[@bennetdl]

@@thebluebirdbox I’m in the process of spinning nearly 6 pounds of Shetland that I purchased from a fiber fest last month. I have hopes of knitting a sweater from the yarn😁

[@thebluebirdbox]

@@bennetdl That is amazing!

How smart! They look exactly like pencils in X-ray.
