The Gentle Knitter ep. 43 - The golden hour

[@theislandlamb]

Dear Nicole, you have been on my mind lately. I hope you’re well. You’re podcast was an inspiration to me and really helped get me on my way with my own podcast. Please don’t feel you have to comment back I just wanted you to know you’ve been on my mind and hope you’re safe from the wildfires. I live on an island off the southern coast of RI and we are always aware of your weather. Stay safe and I hope your knitting and spinning are bringing you joy. Diane

[@barbaragaspard1989]

Whenever I find myself not enjoying a project so much I will put it aside not too far away and knit up a pair of socks to sort of cleanse the stagnation sort to speak, yes we have loads of socks. Love all of your projects, especially the mending of your linen pieces.

[@michellepretorius484]

I'm so pleased to hear your "confession" of starting projects and undoing them when you're not happy with it. We seem to think that accomplished knitters cast on and never have to frog and never feel dissatisfied with a project. I've recently had a knitting friend telling me the same. Her successes come with a LOT of fogging. It's good to remind ourselves to be kinder to ourselves when we don't like a project or our own work and simply redo it or find something that does work for us.

[@dianejohns8648]

Lovely to see a podcast from you this morning. A beautiful gentle way to start the day. Thank you. ❤️

[@Elianaalfonso7703]

Thank you for another gorgeous episode Nicole. Hope you are fully better soon. Your ‘uneven’ weaving made me laugh out loud - it’s gorgeous! Like everything you make.

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

You and your beautiful work have inspired and sustained me the last two + years. Thank you. 💙

[@mariecarter3138]

It is always a treat for me to sit back with a cup of coffee and enjoy your podcast, Nicole! I am sorry that you were ill this summer, but share with you how soothing knitting is during difficult times. ❤️

[@madmountainmike2]

Every time I really start longing for you, I see you finally post anew ! It must be Something in the air?!?❤️❤️

[@dianemh1779]

I'm the same, I always get a "premonition" that Nicole will post and it's always like a comfy visit from a friend. 🥰

[@barbarasteffee5666]

@@dianemh1779 I agree with you regarding her podcasts. I stumbled on FiberTrek podcast - Nicole's friend and she mentioned her and I knew she was okay...whew.🌻

[@Jacqueline-gf8vg]

I'm so sorry you have been ill; so glad to see you back; can't wait to see your new furchild.

[@marybeneteau6009]

It was so lovely to see your podcast, I am happy you are on the mend from covid. As always your knitting is an inspiration to this very newbie knitter. I look forward to your next podcast. Best regards to you.

[@sarahjanewheatley5472]

It was interesting to hear you talk about sewing garments by hand as it reminded me of how I hand stitched my wedding dress. It was a simple silk dress but every stitch held hope, happiness, excitement , love and of course a fair amount of trepidation! I was only 21yrs old and I am still married to the same handsome man!

[@raphaele4561]

Hello Nicole, so happy to see you here. I had Covid and chronic illness too, and hard times to recover. I sincerely hope you will be fine along the days and months. Lovely footage from the festival ! Every year my husband come with me at a festival in Lyon, because I am too tired too drive... and It's a so lovely moment. We have so gentle husbands 🧡! Thank you for this good moment knitting with you !

[@liduinwachter4485]

Your podcast made my day! I decided to simply sit, knit and enjoy! I thought you must have a very sweet husband to convince you to go to the yarn festival together. And me and my friends are big fans of the woollentwine yarn so it's so nice to see you are knitting with it as well and enjoying her colours!

[@thegentleknitter]

Yes, I'm lucky to have a VERY sweet husband ;)

[@madmountainmike2]

Dear Nicole, hope this find you well and that you’re enjoying whatever your making life is being into this new year for you. It has been a while since we’ve seen your lovely work. No pressure though as we all are experiencing how very quickly time is passing as we venture out into the world again and re-establish routines and commitments. Just wanted you to know you are missed and thought of fondly ❤❤

[@Mandy-tl2un]

It was so lovely to see you had put up a new video when I woke this morning. Your work is so inspiring and it is your gentleness I am drawn to. I enjoyed the books and the mending as much as the knitting and yarn content. Your friend’s little 🐕. Continue to get well. 🧡

[@TinNC]

Good to hear you are recovering but sad to hear you and your husband experienced Covid. You look wonderful though and no one would guess how sick you have been. Thank you for your lovely pod cast. I always feel relaxed and refreshed after spending time with you! Continue to heal and be kind to yourself. I know the pain of loosing one as dear as Marcel, I have hoped you would open your heart and home to another dog when the time was right.

[@thegentleknitter]

Yes, we cannot wait to welcome another retired racer to our home. If we had more room, I'd love to have "sighthounds galore" here too, but for now, one will have to do ;)

[@jacquelinewillson4232]

How lovely to catch up with you Nicole! I can hear the lingering symptoms in your voice but I am glad to know you are on the mend. Sending healing thoughts your way. Your woven wrap is absolutely stunning and looks so pretty on you. Your mends are so suitable for the items and there is something so soothing about hand sewing and mending.

[@emodablest]

15:19 I love your weaving! You were clearly enjoying the process in the last episode.

[@musicmexicanna6105]

good morning Nicole. I am an old lady from an European Country with lots of sheep. I stumbled upon your channel and like it very much! All those tones and skeins of yarn spoke to me. I was blown away with the beautiful French you started with and was curious where you lived. Canada is a country I would like to go although the long distance makes it unlikely, I am almost to old and have several health problems which restricts me from travelling. Love the beautiful scene with the dog in the last scenes. Thanks for this peaceful start of my day. I think yours will start at least 5 or 6 hours after ours maybe even more. Have a good monday. By the way I know 6 languages; but the poetic French ❤❤❤ and the mix of English and French beautiful spoken is music to my ears. And that is in my case special because I have hearing problems since my youth. Health is so important, recuperate and take it slowly. There are no short cuts in getting better after a nasty virus like Covid19 whichever variant you had, give your body time to heal properly. A big virtual hug and warm greetings from Marian from Fryslân in the North of Europe

[@carolbyrne3241]

So lovely to see you again, you just take all the stress of the day away. I love the inspiration you leave and I now have a few things I want to knit with my handspun ❤️

[@Goosey-bw8bd]

Just LOVE you and your Channel, So Inspiring! 🌺 Gorgeous lichen colored cardi. Please come back and make more inspiring vids 🍁Thank you for sharing all the lovely yarns on your trip. 🧶

[@janettebox3571]

So good to see you again Nicole and sorry to hear you have been unwell with Covid. Have waited for the right time to catch up with you, so out in my summer house and curled up on the sofa with a coffee enjoying seeing all your beautiful makes and woolly purchases….bliss! Best wishes to you from North Wales.

[@sidneyevans7439]

Missing you on this platform! I hope you are well and thriving and creating. From a fan in the Pacific Northwest corner of Washington state in the US.

[@quil10it]

I’m so happy to see your interesting heel on your socks. It’s a lovely finish. I am a hand quitter and it’s fun to see all the visible mending and yours are especially nice. Your two sweaters are amazing….so glad you’re feeling better.

[@ruthlee2752]

So, so glad you are feeling better. We miss you on your podcasts, you inspire me so much. I think I have to make the sweater Wheatsheaves, that you made and I must say looks amazing on you. I didn't attend Twist, even though I thought I would. The entry fee was too high for hubby and myself, and it made it not inclusive to those of us on a tight budget. It is a longer drive from Ottawa, so with those two things I was not able to attend, but I loved your purchases. Having, shopping envy. LOL

[@ingeranderson9587]

Nicole, it is so wonderful to see you again. You look just great! I hope that good heath will stay with you. You knitting is always so amazing and inspiring. The mug by Atelier Fika made me smile, nice it is, and the name 'Fika' is a Swedish word for a coffee break. All the best, Inger

[@hannedaniels4942]

So lovely seeing your kind face and hearing your voice again :-). Hope you keep getting better. So sorry to hear you have not been feeling well. Thank you for taking the time to make another podcast episode for us.

[@FibreBound]

Sorry to hear you were so unwell Nicole, but great to see you’re feeling better. I love your woven piece, the colours are so perfect together. The brioche cardigan is so beautiful! Its been wonderful to spend time with you again, happy knitting!

[@aquinnahsun]

Nicole, thank you for this delightful and entertaining visit with you and your projects. I’m glad you’re feeling better. Like you, I had a pretty bad case of Covid, and while I never thought I might die, there were some days when I almost wanted to! I have just received my first-ever batch of Nutiden yarn, and I’m looking forward to using it. I love your work with it. Would you consider a short video tutorial showing us how you knit with this fascinating, beautiful yarn? Stay well and enjoy the rest of the summer.

[@thegentleknitter]

I've seen some really great videos about using Nutiden and other unspun yarns. Here are several that to mind (though maybe I'll do one too at some point) : kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5vFomqHq9CXiq8 kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXTZlaCsfJyFiq8 kzbin.info/www/bejne/eX3GdnaGbpp8atU

So sorry to ear you had such a bad case of Covid. Wish you a full recovery real soon. Your woven scarf looks very good on you, it highlights your eyes so well. Thanks for showing a bit of Twist festival. Looking forward to see how your spinning will turn this nice fiber into yarn. Have a good week.

[@bluegrassdreams2seams510]

So happy you are feeling well again… not quite 100%, but getting there😊 Your knits are so lovely! I love the earthly colors too; mostly coastal water colors and then our land and plant colors. Thank you for including us in a field trip to the festival🥰I loved seeing the fibers and the pottery! Lastly, I love how you mended your garments and the book reviews are very appreciated. To good health… cheers! Cheryl

[@theislandlamb]

Good morning Nicole and thank you for another lovely gently episode. I really enjoyed hearing and seeing the cottage of the Twist festival. Rhinebeck was very crowded so you made a good decision to pass this year. It was my first time and even though I enjoyed it I was unable to access most of the vendors due to crowds. I plan to mention you and your channel in my next episode of The Island Lamb. Diane

Thank you for your company and all the inspiration!

Take care of yourself dear one x

Hello Nicole - I hope you are feeling lots better with each passing day !

Nicole, I hope you recover fully and regain your energy. My husband loves his work jeans and the visible mending I do to keep them working for him. It’s a gift to our world to use things, mend them and love them.

As usual your work is inspirational, your videos are a special treat and always welcome. Thanks for the sewing book suggestions, I’ve been thinking about this quite a lot. Twist looked amazing. I’m trying to decide about Rhinebeck. I had Covid before the vaccines and was sick for two months...do NOT want it again. That little dog was a doll. He had the cutest ears. We lost both of ours just a year ago and I miss them so much. Happy knitting and stay safe.

I find myself drawn to the natural cream colours of the sheep. So much love to you, stay well and cosy x

[@carolynblack420]

I enjoyed your talk about visible mending. Brought back a memory - my grandmother was ahead of her time in the late 1970’s - I put a hole in the knee of a pair of pants and instead of just mending them as requested, she decided to turn the patch into a bunch of balloons that travelled up the pant leg. My mom forced me to wear them even though it was decidedly not cool for grade 3 me.

[@thegentleknitter]

Haha, my childhood is replete with this kind of story. My mom made pretty much all our clothes and I hated it. I so desperately wanted clothes from the Sears catalog, lol!!! How times have changed!

So much to love in this episode: as ever, your good taste; that beautiful green cardigan; the equally beautiful woven wrap (wonkiness included), the footage of the stalls... and the two books you recommended. Am currently on a handstitching and boro-inspired roll, and used my corona days to produce a lot of handwork. It's such a meditative way to work.

[@lorihanson6192]

Beautiful, beautiful weaving - I just love what you made. Please don't put off buying a loom - even it's a small one - it's needed. I also loved to see the sewing by hand repairs you made to your clothing. I am grateful for the book recommendation- thank you. Your recommendation to use Japanese Fabrics is an excellent idea. Just to share a note - when I lived in Mountain View, California I used to enjoy a Sushi Restaurant - Homma's Brown Rice Sushi. When I went there to buy Sushi I fell in love with bookmarks that Homma's (the owner) children were making - using Japanese Paper and a laminating machine. So beautiful. And one more share - when I was very young my parents started to attend a very special Japanese Spiritual Group - The Johrei Temple. The Group was known as The Church of World Messianity - based upon channeling the light of God which is known as Johrei. We attended many years - and my parents and brothers and I were members. I grew up with Johrei channeled to me - if I was hurting or didn't feel well my parents gave me Johrei and I always felt better. I learned how to sing in Japanese - and they sang a prayer called The Amatsu Norito - The Payer of Heaven. To learn more about Johrei you can visit their web site: www.johrei.org/ I would be happy to answer any questions also. I love the Japanese Culture and will definitely be looking into buying some Japanese Fabric and Paper. Thank you so much for The Gentle Knitter blog. You are so appreciated and loved. With Love and Knindness, Lori 🙂💗🐦

Lovely to see you again and thank you for the content. I am glad you are not going to NY sheep and wool - i don't know if you are aware but many in the US seem to be in the mindset that covid is over and most people are not wearing masks and respecting social distancing. Its quite uncomfortable for the rest of us who are still worried about getting sick.

I just found your channel...subscribed and plan to binge watch from the beginning. I love that you put links to all the yarns you recommend.
