Lovely to see you and all your amazing projects. I love the wedding outfits that you made and the bag is super. Also love the Fennel cardigan. The Book Club cardi is on my list, all that texture is fabulous. Never apologise for having to make the right decisions for you and your business. It’s ok to need to make money, we all do! Loved watching your cat asleep in the background. I’m sorry about your other cat, loosing a pet is so hard.

[@bobblesandberries]

Thank you so much for your kind words! ❤️ I will try to lure the cat in in future podcasts. 😂

[@adrianamagalhaes1284]

Hello Aude! So nice to see you. You look so beautiful, maybe the French sunny days with family gave you a glow 😊 I can only imagine how hard was to decide to stop with the bags. I feel sad that I never managed to order one, but you did it right. Focus on what it is working for your business and what you enjoy too ❤. Your sweater is gorgeous (not my colors, obviously 😅 ). Looks so cozy. I love a double collar. That silver yarn you bought(3 skeins) is gorgeous. Thank you for the breakfast company. Have a great weekend ❤❤

[@bobblesandberries]

Hello!! Thank you so much for your kind words. ❤️❤️❤️ Brown and beige are not your colours? Really? I never would have guessed! 😂🥰 Have a wonderful weekend too! ❤️❤️

[@leannastoufer6333]

I've missed you! It is wonderful to catch up on your beautiful knitting projects. It sounds like your vacation, and your sister's wedding, were wonderful. Please take good care of you. Grieving is difficult.

[@bobblesandberries]

❤️❤️❤️

[@hsttsfs]

I am one of the people waiting for your project bags to come back, but 100% support your decision - do what makes you happy and works for your lifestyle!

[@bobblesandberries]

❤️❤️❤️

[@gubuf]

Nice to see you here again! Love your projects. 😊

[@bobblesandberries]

❤️❤️❤️ Thank you! It's nice to be back.

[@Renata_M]

Whiskers on your knits and a whole loaf of a cat in the background 😮😂😻 What a scene! Beautiful makes! So sorry for your loss 😿 I miss my furr-bestie so much too 😪

[@bobblesandberries]

Thank you. You're very kind. ❤️❤️

[@nancyistenes7643]

From a follower who has been waiting for bags to come back, your decision is 100% the right thing for you. They are a lot of work, that shows in how beautiful they are. You need to make good business decisions. This will free up time for other creative pursuits and business development. Take care, stay positive and be creative!

[@bobblesandberries]

Thank you! I really appreciate that. ❤️❤️

[@crochetingknitter4751]

Hi Aude, sorry to hear about your kitty. Glad you were able to decompress in France with family. Also sorry to hear about the bags but I understand and also am grateful I got one when I had the chance! Here’s to more stitch markers-they are certainly one of a kind and happy that they are providing a good business for you. Best

[@bobblesandberries]

Thank you so much! You’re so kind. ❤️❤️

[@JoanneEvans-py3np]

Love all your work ❤ Your bags looked beautiful but you have to do what makes you happy. I will definitely be putting in an order for your stitch markers 😍 Keep doing what you do ☺️

[@bobblesandberries]

Thank you for your kind words ❤️❤️

[@juffrouwooievaar6396]

Hello Aude, so nice to here from you again 😀 with a lovely episode. Enjoy making stichmarkers en knitting and I definitely watch next time 💐 Greetings Anita

[@bobblesandberries]

Thank you Anita! ❤️

[@xusblasco5563]

Such stunning pieces!!! Loved everything!!! Thanks for you time, Aude 🌷

[@bobblesandberries]

Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️

[@evakarlstrom4439]

I love your stitch markers very much ❤️🐓🐥❤️

[@bobblesandberries]

Thank you! 😄❤️

[@jansmith7177]

I think I remember that, although you don’t have to be as careful with tension in ladder back jacquard, that first set up row does need to be pretty loose to keep from showing puckers or contrast yarn on the right side. I couldn’t tell on your sweater. Love your projects!

[@bobblesandberries]

That’s really good to know! Thank you. I’ll keep that in mind for the next time I use the technique.

[@valeriehazel4858]

I really enjoy your podcasts so thank you for finding time to record. Losing our pets is hard, even when they are old and it is the right time for them to go. Distraction was a good idea.

[@bobblesandberries]

You're so right... Even if it's the right time, it's really hard. We miss him a lot. ❤️ Thank you for your kind words. ❤️❤️

[@maryp1224]

Your Levi (Love the colors) and Fennel Seed are amazing!! I am the same with mohair and i found that Knitting for Olive mohair is so so soft to me but I can't wear Isager. The Clutches area beautiful......you got so much done! And I don't think you were all over the place.... 🙂 I appreciate how you think thru your projects; i need to learn to do that more and not just knit to knit. So thank you Your cat is so cute!

[@bobblesandberries]

Thank you! You’re so kind. ❤️ That’s so interesting about the mohair, that you feel such a difference.

[@moniquem8093]

Nice to see you again, missed you

Congratulations on choosing what you like the best and what works for you business. You certainly desevre to be happy with your crafting. Sorry about the loss of your old cat 🤗

[@bobblesandberries]

Haha yes! We haven’t gone above 17°C in a long time here. 😅😅

[@FloreKruiswijk]

Lovely to see you again, I really enjoy watching your podcast and I particularly love the crossover between knitting and sewing, since I enjoy both myself!

[@bobblesandberries]

Thank you so much! ❤️❤️ I’m so glad you’re enjoying it. 😊

[@janamauney8038]

If I remember right, you haven't been knitting a really long time? Your projects are so wonderful--as well as your sewing. You are amazing! LOVE the kitty in the background!

[@bobblesandberries]

Aw thank you! ❤️❤️ I've been knitting for about three and a half year I think. So glad you enjoyed seeing the cat! She doesn't always want to stay put for that long. 😂

[@marysheridan7104]

So, so Nice to see you again! Love seeing your makes and stitch markers too! 💕

[@bobblesandberries]

Thank you so much! ❤️❤️ It’s really nice to be back.

[@annparsons6238]

Hi Aude, it’s always nice to join you and see your beautiful knits. The weather has been so cold in Wales too ! You looked lovely in the outfits you made for your sister’s wedding. The Beatrix cardigan May of just gone to the top of my list 😂

[@bobblesandberries]

It’s such a stunning pattern!! 🤩🤩

[@bgbaltuth]

Follow your dreams! You are a lovely knitter and creator. thank you.

[@bobblesandberries]

Thank you ❤️❤️

[@gaychil930]

Thank you for your great podcast, love your Fennell Seed jacket and all your makes 👏🏻

[@bobblesandberries]

Thank you! The Fennel Seed was such a joy to knit.

[@jessicalila3712]

I love all the yarns you knit with. I especially loved your purse you made. I've seen other knitters making that but the structure of the bag (or lack of it) is what keeps me hesitating to make it. I think the cotton with wadding lining is brilliant! Please don't apologize for bringing your shop in the direction that keeps your creative juices flowing. Life is too short. I've made a few bags and am always amazed at how long it takes - and I've only made very easy patterns as I'm not as advanced in that area. I just placed my first order for stitch markers! Love the new set!

[@bobblesandberries]

Thank you!! ❤️ I know what you mean. I had the same reservations at first regarding the Winter Clutch and the lack of structure. I’m glad the wadding worked out.

[@christiannedewit6423]

Your Sari Nordland sweater looks wonderful. Good colours. Can you let us see the other side of the knit where you did the thing with the floats?

[@bobblesandberries]

Of course! Sorry I didn’t think about it. I’ll try to remember to show it next time. 🙂

[@christineb2797]

Your sweater and bag are so nice, Really well done !!

[@christineb2797]

Also I love that you included your sewing makes as well !!!

[@bobblesandberries]

Thank you so much! ❤️

[@MikiCrespo]

Your Levi Pullover is absolutely beautiful 🤍 your Clutch is also beautiful 👛

[@bobblesandberries]

Thank you! ❤️❤️

[@julieknitsandspins]

Aude you sewing and knits are just beautiful! As are you 🥰 It saddened me to see you struggle to tell us your decision about making bags. I don’t think there is one person of your followers who would want you to be unhappy. Please always choose what makes YOU happy. Always ❤❤❤❤ Now I’m going to check out your stitch markers as I’m sure there are some I need to have 😊

[@bobblesandberries]

Thank you so much for your kind words Julie ❤️❤️❤️

[@leslienero7884]

So sorry you lost your kitty.

[@bobblesandberries]
