"It's just a stitch." "Now you have the keys to the kingdom." I loved the slow pace of your video. Although you're obsessed, you're not frantic. Very relaxing to listen to. You make beautiful things. Hello to the knitting widow from a mechanics of telescopes and obsevatory domes widow. Last night I heard the characteristics of hundred year old cylindrical roller bearings.

Hi Vera, Thanks for the feedback, just listening to your own voice is strange when you start so it's good to know that it comes across OK. That sounds wonderful, telescopes and observatory domes. Jo says hello back. Thanks Gary

It took a while to get around to watching this one, after so many of the other vids today. I don’t know how YT didn’t suggest you to me earlier since Ive been on here gah.. I’m smitten with everything you do, Gary.. and the idea of hanging out surrounded with yarn, wips, so many gorg colours, and knitting 24/7.. definitely my ideal. Love. ❤️.. oh, and “cheeky lil’ knit”.. so precious..

[@knitsbycynt]

Thanks for sharing your story. Your drawings and patterns are beautiful. On the part of the video when you were showing how you trap the stitch. It was hard to see because the yarn was dark, and there wasn't a lot of light on that area. Can you do another take with lighter yarn and better lighting. If you have done so already can you direct me to that video. Thank you😊

Hi from St.Ives! I can't remember when I didn't knit and like you have a stash of wool that I won't use in my lifetime . Luckily I have Daughters and Granddaughters to leave it to . I used to knit picture jumpers in the 80's and 90's on a computerized knitting machine. I drew the designs on a mylar sheet but was limited to 60 St's wide unless it was a repeating pattern . I love the tip for floats and enjoyed your first video.

Oh my goodness! That is the most brilliant and informative descriptive of how to carry floats! I was taught at a very early age to knit from my Grandmother (French Canadian) and self-taught thereafter! I am not an artist but have charted my own designs using graph paper (southwest petroglyphs, I live in AZ) and the floats have always been a challenge! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! I so appreciate men who knit; thank you for being an exemplary example! And thank you Knitting Widow!!! ;-). Absolutely worth a Subscription to your channel! And I've been to your lovely Cornwall and St. Michael's Mount. Travelled 1,000 miles of the Michael and Mary Ley Lines and met Hamish Miller, world renowned dowser, blacksmith and philosopher! One of the most brilliant souls I will ever meet on this Planet! And his beautiful wife made the most delicious blueberry scones for us, with clotted cream! Congratulations on your Channel! Keep knitting.....please!!!

Hi Gary Ray Smith, regards from Santiago Chile. I just met you in youtube and I am enchanted with your knitting and your handling of colors. Finally men are showing their skills that until recently were exclusively attributed to women. When my dentist went through a depression period due to the separation and divorce from his wife, I offered him to teach him to knit because it is such great mental health keeper without psychiatric care and without pills...and he loughed and loughed...and I thought "what an ignorant and he does not know what he is missing and enjoying"

Kudos to The Knitting Widow for capturing lovely views of Cornwall and zeroing in on your work so beautifully. Wonderful that you are doing this podcast. Loved hearing your knitting history and very chuff to learn a new technique for carrying colors. Look forward to more “how to segments” . So grateful for your efforts, best regards from Meaford Ontario Canada

Lovely scenery! It enabled me to escape the heat of the Sonoran desert for a few minutes, at least in my mind. Beautiful knits!

that your designs and skill are amazing goes without saying but i said it anyway - now for the floats - i never do colorwork because i HATE floats on the back side - what you show us is genius - you have opened up the world of 2 - or even more - color knitting to me - i am forever grateful to you - thank you so much i am very annoyed that i can give you only one thumb up ;~D

Hi, that is wonderful, we are only 3 weeks into our podcast and we have already been able to help people get excited about colorwork, which is the aim of what we are doing, Thank you so much for letting us know, happy knitting Gary and Jo

Your knitting is amazing! Your colour work is the most intricate I have ever seen.

Thank you so much! It is all techniques that anyone can learn and that is the aim of the channel. In episode 3 that will go live today I introduce my daughter Pansy who I am going to train to my level.

New subscriber. I'm a relatively new knitter (5 years) so I'm not yet a SABLE knitter, but I'm working on it. 😄 Thank you for so clearly demonstrating how you handle floats. I will definitely give it a go.
