I honestly cannot get enough of the footage of you and Jack, and your walks in the countryside. So, so lovely.

Enjoy your adventure and very well done I just love your podcast it makes me feel so peaceful, you are a lovely gentle soul.

[@emlymom]

Katie - thank you for your podcasts! I discovered them recently. I love to see your making and drawing. I think its great that you bring the authenticity of making to your podcast - that it takes time, that we often work on many projects at the same time. Love the musical and outdoor interludes. I am loving the cushion cover! And I am all about no deadlines for projects - deadlines only make things (and you) miserable. I will continue to look forward to future installments.

[@KatieGreenBean]

Thank you so much Alison - I'm so glad you are enjoying the podcasts, and your words are so reassuring. I was worried when I started making these videos that people would find my slow pace boring, so it's lovely to hear your feedback to the contrary. Thank you for watching!

[@pennyclark1524]

You and your channel are utterly charming and so fascinating and relaxing to watch.

[@gilliantherese7202]

Congratulations on your book launch Katie! Have a great trip...As always, thank you for another lovely episode! :-)

[@claraavin3261]

I love watching your videos. Thank you for sharing.

[@jaimek-s3684]

Thank you for such a thoughtful and lovely podcast! I love the way you describe your projects as you're working on them - it feel like you've invited me into the most peaceful knitting group I've ever encountered. Also I love learning so much about drawing! My sister loves to draw, but I know so little about it, and learning from you gives me many ideas for gifts or ways to encourage her drawing practice.

[@joannecoward3955]

Lovely episode congratulations on getting your book published in Polish, hope you have a wonderful trip. Thank you for sharing your making it’s so relaxing to watch and listen to you x

[@lorettahenderson8979]

Thank you for sharing your podcast...

[@sandybeth6703]

I am catching up on your wonderful podcasts and it was lovely to hear you say about Rowan Pure Breeds yarn as I was exactly the same in that after years of knitting thanks to Rowan I realised that there were breeds of sheep and different qualities to the wool that I had never understood before. Wool was wool up until then.

[@animallover5291]

Just love your whole podcast, keep making them....

[@tarviragus]

Congratulations, Katie, on the Polish translation and I hope your trip is inspiring. Thank you for another lovely video cast circumstances prevented me from watching in one go but what a sweet delight it has been knowing I had a little more to watch. Until next time..

[@AStateofDeNile]

[@jennifercongdon4583]

You are lovely, Katie. Thank you for your podcast. It is unique.

[@KatieGreenBean]

Thank you so much, Jennifer!

[@prairiefirebird9902]

Your overalls (dungarees, not sure what you call them) are fantastic! I have made them years ago (different pattern) and know how difficult they can be to make. Love your new episode.

[@mellrashid305]

Hi Katie… Simply luv luv luv your podcast. Juz discover your luvly podcast episode 26 ( i think) n feel in love with it i’m now watching back from episode 1 onwards. Gosh… you are so talented dear TQ for sharing.

[@jacquiewillson6786]

Loved catching up with you Katie! Your projects inspire me and I enjoy what you say about each one. Have a wonderful trip to Poland and congratulations on this newest chapter for your publishing. :

[@qldteacher]

I so look forward to your podcasts. I enjoyed your Rowan yarn story ~ I started knitting two years ago this month & totally related to your 'there are sheep, there is wool' thoughts:) Finding out more and more on this wonderful knitting journey ~ thanks for sharing:)

[@xusblasco5563]

Thanks for another delightful and delicious episode. Of course we’ll be joining you on your Polish bookadventure!!! Thanks for inviting us. Sending Love 🧚🏽‍♀️🦄🌠

[@carolhudak3173]

I just found your video podcast and am really enjoying it! I started with the first and working my way to the present. I love that you are documenting your creative process. I am also an artist, knitter and sewer. I love your attitude to mix things up to keep things fresh. I just ordered 6 copies of your book and am keeping one and sharing the rest with family. Thank you for your courage to put this together. I am a solitary person, as I can see you are as well, but cannot image getting in front of a camera.

[@ireneclai578]

I love love your podcast.

[@floralfoote]

Great podcast Katie. You are such a great craft inspiration. I would love to get into see g my own garments. I will have to be brave and take the plunge

[@margaretgodfery7038]

Thank you Katie for a very interesting podcast.

[@terrysheehan9831]

Another thoroughly enjoyable podcast Katie. I look forward to seeing the progress on your embroidery project and the shawl as well. One of the things I enjoy the most about watching podcasts like yours is the seed of inspiration that becomes planted when you see what others are creating. I look forward to hearing about your adventures in Poland. Take care!

[@KatieGreenBean]

Thank you so much, Terry! Shawl is cast off and blocking today, so you shall see it soon :)

[@marjolein2644]

Hello Katie it was a very nice episode , your crochet top is lovely and your shawl is beautiful. Wish you all the best on your trip.

[@Heather-sp8ru]

Congratulations on the translation of you book Katie! :-D I'm a bit shy when it comes to leaving comments but I've been wanting to express to you how truly wonderful your podcast is

[@theknittingburrow]

Hi Katie, I discovered your podcast a few days ago, I really love it... you created a lovely universe, it feels so cozy and relaxing... it's a very special podcast, i the best way. Thank you so much!

[@katjafarbenfroh8646]

Congratulations for the translation of your book. May you have a wonderful time there! All the best 😘 Katja

[@terryb7042]

It made my morning to wake up and see a podcast from you. Great start to the day! I'm looking forward to hearing about your Poland adventure. Congratulations to you!

[@lilag3789]

I really enjoy your podcast thank you Katie! Wish you a very nice trip to Poland! See you soon

[@ThePattiw]

Congratulations! Good news indeed. Thank you for a lovely episode, and your dungarees are lovely. I cant imagine tackling such a project .

[@KatieGreenBean]

You definitely could, one stitch at a time!

[@patziegler9533]

Lovely podcast! Katie...thanks for sharing🤗

[@suzeca-22]

Another wonderfully calming episode. I'd never seen drawing board like that. It was nice to watch you draw I wish the segment had been longer. I always feel calm and quiet after watching one of your podcasts. Such a breath of fresh air. Do some vlogs on your trip so you can show us what it's like to be a writer!

[@KatieGreenBean]

Thank you Susan! I wish the drawing segment had been longer too, but I realised the camera had been quite out of focus so I didn't want to let it linger too long. I will pay more attention next time! I'm not sure I'm a vlogger, but I'll try and share something of my trip to Poland :)

[@michellecoates8556]

👏 exciting news Katie, well done.

[@bethanymeeker4105]

It brightened my morning seeing a new podcast up by you :) And congratulations on your book being published in Polish! I hope you enjoy your adventure :)

[@KatieGreenBean]

Yay, thank you!

[@karyncook4291]

Another enjoyable episode! Congratulations on the translation of your book!

[@terrywynn9767]

Very much enjoyed! Congratulations on your translation and enjoy your trip.

[@katies8080]

I liked the yarn story.

[@cynthiahinton6483]

Congratulations on the Polish translation! It sounds like a very exciting trip. I love the vest. I wish I knew how to crochet, but I will look for a nice summer too to knit up in that yarn. I live in the US southeast region and heavy wools don't get much use down here. That yarns could probably work 3 seasons here.

[@KatieGreenBean]

Honestly, I can't recommend that yarn highly enough! When I first started working at Blacker it was the one I was least interest in, now it's the one I buy most of! Just so wearable, and I love being able to make knitwear (or crochetwear) for seasons other than winter :)

[@roseflowers935]

Thank you for another wonderful episode!

[@muhlenstedt]

It made my day, thank you!

[@FruityKnitting]

We totally enjoyed your lovely episode. Congratulations on the translation of your book and your upcoming visit to Poland. If you are passing through Frankfurt and have time I'd love to meet up. Andrea x

[@KatieGreenBean]

Hi Anrdea, thank you so much for watching! I'm so glad you enjoyed it.I'm excited about Poland, but alas this will be a flying visit just to Warsaw - but of course I'll let you know if I'm ever in Frankfurt, it would be lovely to catch up :) x

[@Marjan-creative]

Thank you for sharing everything! Working white on black looks very beautiful. But am I right when I think there is no room for errors? Or can you mask them somehow? And how are you making colour (red at the bird) on this? Your shawl is looking so comfortly already, it must be lovely to work on it. Greetings out of Holland. 🌷

[@nwilliams6458]

What kind of felt do you use on your pillow pattern? Is it wool felt?

[@KatieGreenBean]

Hello! Yes, I use pure wool felt - not only because I love wool and like top keep things natural, but because I find it has a better structure. Acrylic felt tends to stretch out of shape more easily, so I find wool felt easier to work with.

[@NolongeraPissedoffAmerican1159]

I heard someone say about a project they had completed, that after it had been washed and blocked, it became what the tag said it was...even though, while knitting, she was sure it was NOT what it was tagged.

[@KatieGreenBean]

That is so interesting! Now I've washed and blocked this shawl it definitely has wonderful drape, which suggests Bluefaced Leicester, though I'm still not convinced it's 100%. Nonetheless it's lovely, and a piece that's much better suited to the yarn than my cardigan was!

[@jennywren2395]

Your comment about your Uist wool skirt being school uniform like made me think that really is that a bad thing. I took it to mean very plain in style/material and I thought well isn't that OK, it is about the fabric. Isn't it also about what you wear it with; IE the interesting knitwear, the complete outfit? If it does need to be shorter, then go for it, you won't waste the leftovers, I'm sure you'll use it in some other project, maybe part of another cushion cover or other project.
