The Cornish Knitter - Shop tour, some knitting and the steek is happening.- Episode 4

Hello, I am Jane from Falmouth in Cornwall, UK. I am an avid knitter and co-owner of Stitches and Cream, a yarn shop that specialises in natural fibres and British yarns.
www.stitchesan...
Thank you for all your comments and suggestions from my previous video. They have given me lots of ideas for future content and have also helped me attempt to steek my first garment with something like confidence!
This video is in response to your feedback that you would like to see some shop footage and in this episode I share some of our favourite yarns and my sister Sandra joins me to talk about S&C.
I catch up on a FO and a couple of WIPS and update you on my steeking progress. We chat about yarn…obvs… our most popular samples from the shop, and my fave knitting accessories. I also take you on a trip to Tintagel with me, the home of legends and King Arthur.
Thank you for watching and please like, subscribe, share with friends, and of course comment! I will try to respond to as many as I can.

I really enjoyed this podcast. Your shop is so charming with lovely yarns. It was nice seeing your sister and hearing your story. So many fun little quips and bits of information. You two make a great team. Your knitting projects are stunning and I really love the Stripes Sweater! The colors look fabulous on you. I agree about cap sleeves. I always have to make short sleeves reach my elbows. The hike footage was so pretty. You braved the wind and showed us beautiful scenery. The goodies at the end looked delicious. Thanks so much for all the time you put into this video.

[@thecornishknitter]

Thank you Deborah. It is great to work with my sister we know each other do well 😜 my cap sleeve days have sailed for me too I tend to knit down to hear the elbow gif shirt sleeves as it hides my upper arm. Oh well 😏

[@leslieh881]

I cannot believe that people have the audacity to criticize your coloring or background. You are a lovely brave person who is taking your time to share your life and skills with a large group of strangers on the internet. Please continue and know you are appreciated. We knitters love your perspective and content.

[@thecornishknitter]

Thank you for your lovely comments Leslie 😊

[@lesleymoreland9629]

Dear Jane, lovely to meet you in the shop this morning! I will send you a photo of the hap made with the lovely Backer Yarns when the hap has been completed. Best wishes, Lesley

[@thecornishknitter]

So lovely to meet you too Lesley and I can’t wIt to see how that gap turns out. It will be gorgeous. 🥰

[@beverlybullock8960]

Oh my gracious! That was the most perfectly wonderful episode, Jane! From seeing your beautiful shop at the beginning to the lovely hike at the end and everything in-between---- thanks for all the time and effort you put into making such a great video.💚

[@thecornishknitter]

Thank you for such lovely feedback Beverly 😊

[@abi-vr5oo]

Can you show me how to knit a baby shawl please doreen

[@carolerath1129]

Jane I really enjoyed your podcast once again. I loved seeing your yarn shop. The planks on the floor to the furniture and all the beautiful yarn. Oh let’s not forget about your sister. I also love that you have fabric in the shop. Thank you for the sightseeing tour. Just beautiful. Also the knitting content was pretty good.

[@thecornishknitter]

Thank you and it was nice to be able to share our little shop 😊

[@linpendry8652]

A wonderful show today. I loved the tour of your shop, such beautiful yarns in gorgeous colours. Also especially appreciated the scenery at the end. I was in Cornwall over 40 years ago . Remember the fabulous coastline. I live 100s of miles from the sea in Ontario, Canada and when growing up in UK lived almost the furthest point from the sea too. It holds a special fascination for me.

[@thecornishknitter]

Thank you and I will carry on posting sea views so that you can have a virtual experience along with me 😂

[@suebrown436]

I enjoyed this so much. How marvellous that you are able to stock so much hand dyed wool. Thank you for the lovely tour of your shop - I think I may have been drooling!

[@thecornishknitter]

Thank you for watching and drooling is very much allowed 😜

[@janeshipley6993]

hello, jane, from another jane. i’m so enjoying your videos, and i can see that i’m not alone! apart from all the wonderful segments that you work on, the knowledge that you have is priceless, and i so appreciate your sharing it with us. be well ☀️

[@thecornishknitter]

Thank you for your lovely feedback Jane. So glad people are enjoying them as much as I do making them 😊

[@marysheridan7104]

I am so Happy to “see” you again and I must tell you that this episode is so Wonderful! I love seeing scenes from your village… always the Perfect ending! Also, I must say that I agree with you and long sleeves! They are a staple in my wardrobe for us “mature” girls😊! Looking forward to your next podcast! Thank you!

[@thecornishknitter]

Thank you Mary. Food maybe a theme 🤭

[@lynnechinnock4020]

Wow Jane…..what an absolutely fab video, the best so far, well done you 👏👏 ❤ love love love all the stock in your fabulous shop, also you & your sister look so alike, almost like twins? I’ve lived in the South West all my life I’m 68, I live with my husband on the edge of Dartmoor, so I too enjoy the rugged moors, plus we are only 20 minutes from the sea, but I’ve never been to Tintagel, so thank you for that. Can’t wait for your next blog! 😄

[@thecornishknitter]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@terrainfiber]

Jane! I loved seeing the shop and meeting your sister! Thank you for taking the time to do these videos!

[@thecornishknitter]

Thank you for taking the time to watch 😊

[@lindaholmes1920]

What a wonderful shop! All that lovely wool from small businesses and all natural fibres too! I must call in if I ever get down to Cornwall again. My late sister and I loved holidaying down there, and used to visit a big art supply shop in Falmouth. Your footage of Tintagel brought back some wonderful memories of our visit there years ago.

[@thecornishknitter]

Thank you Linda. If you are down this way you may know a good wool shop to visit 😜

[@janetretzer4869]

Your shop is wonderful. I wish I could pop in and spend time there with you! Lovely. Your yarn choices are perfect. Exactly what I look for. Best to you both.

[@thecornishknitter]

Thank you Janet x

[@deniseclare2605]

That was a lovely video Jane thank you so much. I feel like I’ve had a little holiday in Cornwall. Your shop is just full of scrumptious yarn.

[@thecornishknitter]

Thank you for watching 😊

[@viviennemartin5067]

Thank you-Loved the tour of your shop and the gorgeous backdrop of colourful yarns. 😊

[@thecornishknitter]

Thank you for watching it 😊

[@lynnmcentire4014]

Great to meet your sister. Sandra I sew in the daytime and knit at night 😊

[@thecornishknitter]

Great combo. Thank you 😊

[@susannebaverstrand1057]

Hello from Sweden, half an hour from Gothenburg. Thank you for your lovely Knitting podcast, I like it very much. This afternoon I casted on for Hirne as well. I'm using a Swedish wool from Ullcentrum, from Öland. It's a rustic, beautiful 2ply yarn. I've choosen an apple green colour. I think it will be lovely to ware in the summer, as the wSedish summers aren't always sunny and warm. Looking forward to next episode.

[@thecornishknitter]

Hello from Cornwall 😊 Hirne is gorgeous. Steeking has been done and still not unravelled 😜 English summers are very similar 😊

[@angeknitsandsews7867]

Your shop is stunning Jane. I love your videos, thank you. My parents retired to Bude and I have fond memories of the North Cornish coast with my children. I haven’t been back since they died but your video of Tintagel makes me want to visit. x

[@thecornishknitter]

Thank you. Cornwall is such a beautiful county and it sounds like you have some happy memories of visiting here 😊

[@hazelmclean7478]

What a lovely episode. Your shop is amazing, it's so nice to see a shop so full of woolly wool instead of mainly acrylic. If I'm ever in Falmouth, I will definitely be visiting.

[@thecornishknitter]

Thank you Hazel 👏

[@debrizzo7031]

Beautiful shop ❤ there’s a great relationship between you and your sister, it’s so nice to see!

[@thecornishknitter]

Thank you Deb 😊

[@yojeffschott]

Jane, Greetings from Kentucky! I started knitting in 2020 do to the fact I was tired of puzzles and I read most of my books on the bookshelf. Anyway I picked up my mom's knitting needles and old stash and off I went. So happy I found your KZbin video. Thanks😊

[@thecornishknitter]

Welcome to the tribe Jeff 😊

[@karenwhite2601]

I loved it all, the shop tour was wonderful... all those mouth watering beautiful yarns. some super patterns and so much useful information. Delightful hike too. Cornwall is so beautiful, it fills my heart with joy. Last time I was there was I think 2019. Falmouth many years earlier, probably around 1977!

[@thecornishknitter]

So glad you enjoyed it 🥰

[@kazwahmelbourne9271]

Wool and Tintagel....It doesn't get any better than that!! Thank you so so much for this fabulous video and the exquisite extra footage!!

[@valeriecarroll6811]

SO delighted to have found your podcast. Your shop looks amazing. Xxx

[@thecornishknitter]

Thank you 😊

[@flourchylde]

Greetings from the State of Wyoming in the U.S. What a delightful shop. Wish I could visit it. I love knitting and sewing.

[@thecornishknitter]

Thank you 🥰

[@SunnyhatfillThegypsylife]

Yes. I would love to see the town and history. Thank you so much. ♥️

[@thecornishknitter]

Thank you. More to come now it’s a bit quieter on the visitor front 😊

[@sueb8664]

Hello, I want to say how refreshing your podcasts are, you are realistic, honest and I really enjoy your videos. I subscribed from the start, I myself live in N.Devon and am a newbie knitter and maybe come to your shop. I would like a KAL too, 👍regards Sue

[@thecornishknitter]

Thank you for watching Sue. Do come and visit us soon 😊

[@christinas.317]

Dear Jane, just found your podcast and love it! You have the most amazing yarn store (would love to visit it sometime) and I loved the landscape of your beautiful part of Cornwall. Thank you for sharing! Looking foreward to seeing more of you. Greetings from Austria, Christina

[@thecornishknitter]

Thank you 😊 so glad you are enjoying them 😊

[@janicestaniforth6286]

Hello Jane really enjoyed your podcast you have a lovely soft spoken voice really nice to listen to, loved looking around the shop you have some super yarns with spectacular colours i had to smile about your comment using dpns I am on my second sock class learning how to make socks and I am hooked learning on dpns and I love them and yes it's like wrestling with a hedgehog but a nice hedgehog thank you for all the time and trouble as it can't be easy working full time and then producing a podcast love every thing you do thank you

[@thecornishknitter]

Thank you Janice. I know some people love them so a ‘nice hedgehog’ is a good analogy 😜

[@carolynbulson2081]

Loved the tour of your shop! And now I know how to pronounce Tintagel. 👍🏻

[@thecornishknitter]

Haha. Good to hear 😊

[@22marketst]

A very enjoyable podcast - interesting to see 'inside' your delightful shop and 'meet' your sister as well ! Lovely area to walk around and clearly to knit in - will look forward to more !

[@thecornishknitter]

ThBk you so much 😊

[@patsycoats4061]

Hi, from Alabama. I loved touring your shop and meeting your sister. Thank you for sharing your beautiful scenery.

[@thecornishknitter]

Thank you 😊

[@judithbuist164]

Hi Jane, Your shop footage makes me want to return to Falmouth. Judy, Nelson Bay, Australia

[@thecornishknitter]

Thank you Judith 😊

[@irishcottagerenovation9900]

The shop is beautiful. My first job was working in a wool and fabric shop, happy memories. I Wish there was wool shops here where I live in west of Ireland.

[@thecornishknitter]

Thank you. 😊 a good reason to come and visit maybe 🤔 😉

[@paulakougeas9980]

Loved seeing you highlight Cornish wool. I live in the US, but I have a young friend living in Helston. Cornwall is on my list of places to visit, and I look forward to seeing you shop!

[@thecornishknitter]

Thank you Paula. And I look forward to meeting you too 😜😊

[@EldenwoodCraft]

I loved this episode Jane (and Sandra!). It was so interesting to hear you talk about the shop and I really like your ethos around what you stock. One day I’ll get down for a visit!

[@thecornishknitter]

Yay please do we would love to see you. 😊

[@janettebox3571]

Hello Jane. Your shop is gorgeous😍I wish I lived closer, as I’d definitely be a regular customer. I was completing my first steek as I watched your vlog😬So far so good, it hasn’t unraveled! I watched Katie Green too and followed her very clear instructions. Good to meet your sister too. Best wishes to you from woolly Wales❤

[@thecornishknitter]

Thank you Janette 😊 her instructions were so clear my steeking is done and cardi is blocking 👏

[@sunnyw4148]

My first steek was a Hirne as well. I made a purl stitch down the center of the steek for easy cutting. I did enjoy your podcast. Since you have so many yarn brands and lines particular to England it would be nice for us not near you to hear about a featured yarn for each episode. Maybe??? I little about the yarn and also the company who makes it. Not meant to be stressful but an educational portion.

[@thecornishknitter]

Hi. Thank you for watching and I had been thinking about doing that too so watch this space. 😊

[@mrspilgrim327]

Thankyou for another wonderful vlog Jane, I enjoyed every part and would leave you with the biggest rant in the world if I were to comment on all that I thought I should. I really enjoyed the conversation with Sandra, it was a conversation I would expect to be privy to while having a cuppa in your kitchen, just lovely, I enjoyed hearing the experiance and view points of both of you. Your shop is wonderful, I love how you say no to acrylic, thats brilliant and I wish more sellers would, and supporting the smaller producers is another big tick. I would be in your shop on a very regular basis if I lived in Cornwall. I cant wait to see how your steeking goes, I have my eye on a Marie Wallen cardi that requires steeking and one day Im just going to have to bite the bullet myself. Ditto on the arm thing too, I dont like showing my arms, its just one of those places I hold some extra weight, I've just had a real challenge widening the arms of my ranuculus, its a beautiful knit but I had quite a challenge working out the best way to up that arm circumference, I think I've got it sorted after repeated knitting and tinking, my wrists are tinked right out, but now Im in stockinette heaven. I'd better stop here, thankyou again Jane, happy knitting til next time. Cheers, Tara

[@thecornishknitter]

Haha. Wonderful comments Tara thank you 😊 I have only done a small Marie Wallin project so far but I love her designs for their heritage look. As sisters we work well together (most of the time 😜)

[@mrspilgrim327]

Just wanted to let you know Jane, because you mentioned comments werent coming to you via your email from youtube. There seems to be some more issues with it. You first replied to me not long after I posted my comment, I got that in my email but it didnt show up here on the youtube comment feed. This morning I had an email with another comment from you, probably because you thought you had missed it the first time. I hope that makes sense, so I got notifications both times by email, your first comment didnt show up here on the feed though, but the second did. Cheers, Tara

[@lynnettejeffery2856]

Hi from NZ. What an amazing podcast Beautiful shop and amazing footage. Happy knitting 🧶

[@thecornishknitter]

Thank you 😊

[@deborarichesmorrison2134]

The stripes jumper is lovely and fresh. If you had gone for short sleeves you could have worn a long sleeve t-shirt under it in the cooler months and that would be pretty.

[@thecornishknitter]

Thank you. I did debate that but I have enough yarn left over for another one anyway 🤔😊

[@jayshreeshah6245]

Jane this video makes want to holiday in Falmouth and come to your shop. Thank you.

[@thecornishknitter]

Yay. Thank you Jayshree 😊

[@brendak3357]

Another great episode, Jane! I enjoyed the tour of your shop and all the wonderful yarn and projects. Tintagel tour was nice too. Your countryside is beautiful.

[@thecornishknitter]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@tina4niko]

I’ve just stumbled across your podcasts. This being the first. Your shop is beautiful. I’ve just learned to knit socks. So seeing some of your sock wool pleased me. Also your electric ball winder. I never knew there was such a thing. Anyway, looking forward to watching more from you 😊

[@thecornishknitter]

Thank you for the lovely feedback Tina. The electric wonder in our shop was a bit of a game changer. 😊

[@lorrainehay9348]

Hi Jane, you have a beautiful shop. I have so enjoyed this video.

[@thecornishknitter]

Thank you for watching 😊

[@angelaporteous8701]

Brilliant episode ! You stock some great yarns I just wish I live nearer to come and look in your shop 😃

[@thecornishknitter]

Thank you 😊

[@frescalim9790]

Dreaming of visiting your place and yes your shop!...

[@thecornishknitter]

Yay sweat dreams 😴

[@ruthp7370]

I really enjoy your videos. It is delightful to see an enthusiastic knitter of 'a certain age' exploring her craft. As another enthusiast of a similar age, I too attempted my first and then a second steeking adventure , both on Kate Davies patterns earlier this year . Both went well. I used fine short scissors for mine, a hint I had seen somewhere and being amblyopic (lazy eye- fickle depth perception) was quite nervous . I made tiny cuts, making sure my eyes were focussed- and holding a piece of cardboard beneath, after reinforcing with a different coloured yarn to guide my way. I appreciate your comments about upper arm coverage. I do have reasonable muscle tone in my upper arms, but my skin seems to flap about for several seconds after I stop moving and I see no need to diminish the beauty that surrounds me with this distraction. Thank- you for this refreshing podcast. Ruth from Nova Scotia, Canada

[@thecornishknitter]

Thank you Ruth for your comments and some great advice. You have given me more confidence to cut. I have some the button bands to strengthen it and will finally take the scissors to it in daylight tomorrow 🫣

[@thecornishknitter]

Also laughed out loud about the arm comment as that’s exactly how indeed too 😂😂

[@ansomemaid]

Another lovely episode, I really appreciate that you care about the provenance of the yarn you sell. I recently bought some Pixie and CaMaRose yarn from you, both mulesing free which is a huge plus for me. Thank you.

[@thecornishknitter]

Thank you and great choices 😊

[@johannapfeiffer6676]

Just loved your Vlog. Loved seeing all your samples and can’t wait to try all your favorite yarns. Greetings from south west Florida

[@thecornishknitter]

Thank you Johanna 😊

[@birgitbradley7388]

What a wonderful vlog❤ I remember carrying my one year old son up and down the path at Tintagel, now he's 30😊 Lots of love from Germany

[@thecornishknitter]

Haha. That still must have been quite a climb! 😅 Thank you for watching 😊

[@angelashirtcliffe9290]

Love your wool shop makes me want a holiday in Cornwall so l can pop in and see you

[@thecornishknitter]

Please do 🙏🏻😊

[@karencromer9758]

I am really enjoying your videos. You have such varied content. God bless.

[@thecornishknitter]

Thank you 😊

[@christinebrown6154]

Really enjoyed seeing the shop & all your nice projects. Loved seeing parts of Cornwall as have not visited for 30 years. Thanks from Glasgow 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Thank you Christine. Come back and visit 😊

[@donnawelch3548]

Love your clips of Tintagel and the ocean. Enjoyed the shop tour. Thank you for sharing. Take Care.

Thank you Donna 😊

[@shadowsatmidnight]

Wow I love your shop, it looks so welcoming and cosy! We are finally heading back to Cornwall in September, the last time we went we hadn't had our children, so are so excited to resume our yearly visits with our 2 babies this year..... I cannot wait to pop in and visit your store... WOW!!!

[@thecornishknitter]

Yay. Do come and visit us to squish yarn 😊

[@dragonflyyarncrafts]

Love seeing the shop and meeting your sister. Your channel is one of my favorites. I have always wanted a brick and mortar store. Maybe one day. Congrats to you.

[@thecornishknitter]

Thank you Tina. Don’t give up that dream! 😊

[@wendyhassam8353]

I love your ethos around wool and its provenance. I think it’s so important to know where the wool has come from and the individual(s) behind the brand. Thanks so much for the tour around your beautiful shop & it was lovely to meet your sister this time. Looking forward to hearing more about your favourite wool brands - so much inspiration thank you! 😀

[@thecornishknitter]

Thank you Wendy. I like to be able to name the owner of the brand and know where their fibre comes from. I think our customers want to know that they are supporting multiple small businesses like ours too. 😊

[@crisyarthurs6026]

Hello ladies, a wonderful morning here in New Zealand on our Anzac Day, a tad cooler now but a sunny day so far. Beautiful shop of wool and chatter with wool, more, more. My late Grandfather came from Cornwall, maybe as far back as 1900's some time. I am not sure of which area and if I do have any relations there. Love 2 come over, but that is a maybe 2. Ur shop window is yummy and fallen in love with the lovely cream and coloured stripes tunic style garment in ur window. U have lovely wool also, so an order from me soon of Cornwall wool will be merrily on its way 2 me soon, when I decide what yarn I will pick. Heading in2 Winter now a tad cool in the mornings now and getting veges in the garden and Spring colour also. Surprise me on another knitted garment in ur cute little shop window soon. Cheers❤

[@thecornishknitter]

Thank you for such lovely feedback Crisy. That little Festival dress has been so popular. Petite knits also have the design in a sweater for children and adults too I think. Although we are nearly in May it’s still pretty chilly here at the moment but I am still able to wear wool so that makes me happy 😃

[@marciahighsmith4820]

PS I'm in Austin, Texas USA, if we get to the UK we'll have to visit your shop.

[@BrendaCHughes]

Those wools you have are gorgeous. We were down there last September and walked past your shop but unfortunately it was closed. So hopefully next time we are down there I will have to pop in.

[@thecornishknitter]

Thank you Brenda. We open Tues to Sat 1030-4 if you are this way again and want to pop in 😊

[@intuitknit]

Thank you for your episode. It was really great. Greetings from Canada.

Thank you 😊

[@joypolk3093]

I so love meeting your sister and ‘ chatting’ with you both! Seeing your shop…so fun and cosy!🤗🇺🇸

[@thecornishknitter]

Thank you Joy 😊 Sandra will pop in from time to time

[@jandkcon]

My comment only a few minutes into your video-it’s wonderful hearing the rain and wondering how anyone could not love being in your shop! Your yarn colors speak to me and are exquisite. Now without further ado, I shall sip my wine and continue to watch and enjoy ☺️👀👏🥰🧶

[@thecornishknitter]

So glad you enjoyed it 😊 thank you gif the lovely comments 😊

[@marciahighsmith4820]

That was a really cool beginning. I really enjoyed it. The shop tour was fun! Oh, stetting sounds nerve wracking, but doable. Please record and share, oh you just said that. I don't think I have commented that I love having a mature woman doing a podcast. There are not enough of us doing this. The shop was really nice, but unnecessary.

[@thecornishknitter]

Thank you Marcia. There is definitely space for older knitting podcast isn’t there? I just enjoying talking about yarn 😊

[@grahammcnicol6396]

Just found you, really enjoyed your podcast will catch up with the other two. Look forward to seeing more episodes in the future. Best wishes Frances

[@thecornishknitter]

Thank you 😊

[@alexradloff4095]

Lovely episode. Thank you for introducing your sister and showing us around your shop. Please include segments featuring the shop in future episodes. Cornwall is beautiful.

[@thecornishknitter]

So glad you enjoyed it. It was nice to be in the shop as I could pull other bits in so I will include some content again 😊

[@hellekjr8722]

I just enjoy listening to you about all your knitting, British wool and inspiring patterns. But interesting to see your shop and meet your sister 👩‍❤️‍👩 You have Danish wool in your shop too😇 I love the footage 🌳🌿 I can recommend a Danish podcaster, Fifty fabulous. She has just finished a weekend of spring knitathon 2023. With podcasters from the world. Pia podcast in English and Danish. She is a knitwear designer too🧶

[@thecornishknitter]

Thank you I will go and subscribe 😊

[@brendahamblin4559]

I only found out about your blog yesterday. I agree with everything you’ve said. Might have to have a long weekend down your way when the silly season is over. 😉

[@nancybodie600]

What an enjoyable episode. I love to watch whatever you are comfortable sharing. I personally love seeing the yarn you have in the shop. I like seeing your samples. It was nice to see your sister also, the only thing that would have made that better was bringing your mom back also! And the footage at the end was absolutely stunning! Thank you for taking the time to share all of this with us!

[@thecornishknitter]

Thank you. Mum will be back at some point soon 😊

[@thecornishknitter]

Thank you. I am no longer a ‘steek virgin’ as I cut my cardi today and it stayed in place 🥳

[@joanspiller1553]

Wow!! What an amazing shop. Beautiful yarn, and a fantastic selection. I wish we were closer, (Canada). Your video at the end is beautiful too!!

Visited Tintagel many years ago; beautiful place.

[@thecornishknitter]

It is stunning. I don’t get there enough! 😊

[@thebristolknitter]

I am def paying a visit to shop in the summer, I’ll be staying in Launceston for a bit with my school friend. Yet again you are visiting somewhere I used to live haha - next time you maybe can pay a visit to St Nectans Glen and waterfall a little way up the road - I’m biased as it is owned by my cousin - he has been busy planting a woodland walk and now has peacocks! Cafe also lovely! Definitely jam first !!!

[@thecornishknitter]

Ooh new one on me so will definitely make time to visit. Especially if the cafe is good…… 😜 Do pop down and visit us. 😊

[@annparsons6238]

Great episode! I can’t believe I missed your shop when I was in Falmouth last summer ! Gorgeous yarns and a knit along would be perfect maybe the neck scarf you are wearing ?😊

Thank you for another enjoyable episode, and it was so nice to meet your sister too. The shop looks lovely - such a fabulous selection of yarns 😍 I really enjoyed seeing Tintagel. I spent many happy holidays there in my late teens, it took me right back. Looking forward to the next episode already x

[@thecornishknitter]

Thank you Lisa. I am going to try to do them a little more frequently 😊

[@tracyallison3821]

Absolutely loved every second of this episode! I could spend all day in your gorgeous shop what an absolute gem it is, thank you for showing us around. I love the fabulous choice you have, Pixie yarns is one of my favourites and your special Rockpool colourway is beautiful!

Really Fab✌🏻. I’m loving the variety of what you present in your podcasts in general but I especially love your “unashamed philosophy” of buying yarn from small producers. You are so thoughtful over your shop stock and the quality of what you carry. I am interested in animal welfare too so like to know that that no animals have been harmed in the gathering of their fleece. I’m quite new to knitting and have read that it’s not always the case. I’ve found it hard to find info on this .. I’m not sure if it’s a bit of a controversial topic?? So the natural, small producers seem the best bet and it’s great to have your descriptions and explanations of the source of the different yarns you hold. I also love Cornwall and have been going for many years mainly to Praa Sands but all over including Falmouth. I hope to be able to pop in one day and treat myself to some of your lovely goodies. ❤

[@thecornishknitter]

Thank you. Totally agree on your philosophy of no harm and look for yarns that are non-museling to safeguard this. We only buy yarn that is created from farmers that look after their animals 😊

Thanks a lot for showing us the shop! And the footage on the end was lovely. Must really come over one day and visit. Warm greetings from the netherlands.

Thank you for watching 😊

This was a wonderful vlog and exactly what I had hoped with a tour around your shop. The patterns and yarn ideas are always such an inspiration and I love the style of your makes. I live in West Sussex and hope one day to have another holiday in Cornwall when I can visit your shop.

[@thecornishknitter]

Thank you and do come and visit if you can. 😊

Hello dear Jane - thank you once again for a truly delightful episode 😊I thoroughly enjoyed the tour of your shop and meeting Sandra again! I love your current projects and your advice to watch Katie Green Bean’s ideas on how to do steering is much appreciated - I’ve long watched Katie’s work. It was wonderful to accompany you to Tintagel as we missed going there on our brief visit to Cornwall - such amazing scenery!! And I’m with you on the heights…and as for suspension bridges😮

[@thecornishknitter]

Thank you Elizabeth 😊 me and heights just don’t mix well. I had to be rescued by the police driving over the a suspension road bridge near Bristol once as I had a panic attack about the height. Too vivid an imagination I fear 😳

My grandmother's family was from Lands End in Cornwall, I loved your little dig at the end about jam first on scones!, its the only way our family does it, a tradition for the 100 years the family has lived in Australia. Gran taught hubby how to cook Cornish pasties too, and he got the job to bake pasties as he did better pastry, they were always a treat when out camping and picnicking as an extended family. Thanks for the fond memories.

[@thecornishknitter]

Thank you. Being Cornish is in the blood so I am so happy to hear that these traditions have survived in Aus. My mum makes the best pasties and they are always better handmade. 😊

Thank you for the vlog, really enjoyed it. We are in Cornwall later this year and I will make a visit. I have visited the shop before, even when you had the one across the road. Steeking scares me and I have never had a go as yet! Dee

[@thecornishknitter]

Thank you Dee. Do pop in and see us again. Steeking has be occurred and my cardi is ok 👌
