THE KNITTY STEW in Halifax ║ EPISODE 7

[@RemedyFibers]

Your videos are so calming and I loved getting to learn about the history and facts of where you take us. It’s so beautiful!!! I’ve never been to Canada and I would love to visit one day. Your poem and the rainy scenery was so BEAUTIFUL!!! Also the frog and ranunculus sooo cute!!!! Hope you are well and thank you for a great episode!!

[@debkuppusamy7912]

New here and really enjoyed being here!! Wow that HAT! I need to get my stash out for it.

[@deborahhughes4508]

Leanne you are a poet and a beautiful spirit, Thanks for sharing. Deborah

[@gunnelwright8843]

Hi from Sweden! I have thoroughly enjoyed a binge watch of all your episodes while knitting on Skara Brae tank top by Mary Henderson, a fair isle project. I love the mixture och talk, yarn shops and facts about the cities you visit. You inspired me to download the pattern to Bonnie Isle hat, it will be my next project.

[@theknittystew]

Hello Gunnel from Sweden! ✨ I just looked up the Skara Brae Top and it’s gorgeous! I’m going to need more Jamieson & Smith in my stash! Thank you for your message and taking the time to watch my amateur vlog. It sure is fun learning to do this and making knitting friends around the globe. Have a wonderful day!

[@kgillespie4463]

Hi from Vancouver. I always love your episodes, and your knits are fabulous. Your Ranunculus is one of my favourites of all the bazillion that I've seen. I really need to make my first ...maybe this summer. Also that frog is everything and the Pacman socks...fantastic!. I love your aesthetic and am constantly seeing things you've made that I want to make. The Kiiruna is one I've already made, in the knit-along through the Knit My Way Home podcast. It was a pleasure to knit, so I'm sure you'll enjoy that.

[@zena-knittingbeans7973]

Happy to see you back 😃. I haven’t knitted a ranunculus but need to soon. I popped the C Train hat in my queue too 👍 Great trips around the area very atmospheric especially with the poem to accompany. Can’t wait till next catch up 🤩. Happy knitting 🧶

[@theknittystew]

Hi Zena! I feel like making a Ranunculus is inevitable.. we all have that yarn in our stash that is earmarked for it, but we don’t know it yet!

[@zena-knittingbeans7973]

@@theknittystew I knitted a love note which I enjoyed so as you say there is some yarn waiting for a ranunculus in my stash 👐😃

[@saramiller1371]

Love the pac man mitts! It’s amazing that she dyed the yarn so the ghosts show up on their own! Thanks for showing us all the cities you visit in Canada. I’m in Charlotte, NC and haven’t visited many places in Canada yet.

[@mochacarmellatte]

First time watching your podcast. Brings back memories of my previous career as a FA. I didn’t know how to knit then. It would have been very handy to help pass the time. And oh how I disliked red eyes as well. I look forward to watching more of your knitting adventures and travels.

[@debbiebrame9629]

Hello from Virginia. Found your vlog from Linda, For the Fun of Knits, and binge watched from the beginning. Thank you for sharing your knits and your travels. So interesting. I dabbled in toy knitting. I made a cute little dog for my grandson that looked more like a rat! My first and last attempt. My husband and I are doing a bucket list train trip from Calgary to Vancouver this year. Can’t wait to visit your neck of the woods. Happy Knitting. ❤️

[@sibleyhoneybee427]

Your finished ranunculus is beautiful! I love the pops of color. The Pac-Man fingerless mitts are going to be fantastic, and I agree that it would also make awesome socks! I love the theory of colorpooling.❤🧶❤️

[@lindawilcox6617]

You ARE a poet! Lovely! I've binged all your podcasts and look forward to knitting and traveling with you ! So nice to see one of your podcasts pop up in my notifications. Think I'll have to make a frog or two...

[@janatkinson1508]

Hello from south west Ontario. There is also an Old Triangle in Charlottetown. Our son and family live there so we are able to go to the pub when we visit. Great place. I enjoy your travels. We have been to most of the provinces as well as Iqaluit, Nunavut. Love Newfoundland and Labrador.

[@theknittystew]

Hi Jan! Canada has such amazing places to explore. I’ve barely scratched the surface of my wishlist!

[@KnitMyWayHome]

That Ranunculus is perfect! 💖 Isn’t it fabulous when the yarn whispers what it wants us to make? And when there’s a story to go along it’s even better! ✨Your Kiiruna Shawl is going to be gorgeous. Thank you for another super inspiring episode. Halifax is such a special place & your poem catches it. Ps - the frogs are seriously cute!!! & I can’t wait to see your tuque! (I’ve had that one in my queue for a while.)

[@theknittystew]

This yarn was very blunt in its communication! Downright refusing to be a Stria Hat, and it was NOT into being a short-sleeved Ranunculus either. Thank you for your encouraging messages always.

[@estherdigianvittorio5279]

Hi Leanne, You tick all the boxes!Engaging personality , beautiful knitting , showing of our wonderful country and keeping it real. Love the yarn shop tours and local acquisitions . From a fellow Calgarian.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@theknittystew]

Hello Esther!! What a lovely message thank you so much perhaps we will have to have a YYC knit together!!

[@dorothypender8414]

Love the Ranunculus - makes me want to knit another one! The color is wonderful. Thanks for the Land Acknowledgement, it means a lot. The frogs are oh so cute. I also really appreciate your mentioning other knitting podcasts. The views of the cities that you visit while overnighting are fabulous. Also, I had no idea that Stew was short for the old fashioned term Stewardess! Lastly, the super kid mohair silk from Knit Picks is relatively affordable, especially if it's on sale. It truly feels wonderful knit up with a strand of fingering weight yarn. Thanks for the podcast!

[@KarenBBeutler]

Lovely to see your little froggies! Can't wait to see the sweater on your frog - too cute - you are so right! Thanks for showing pics of lovely Halifax. I also appreciate the stats that you share about population, etc. My summer activities include hiking the Bruce Peninsula and other trails in Ontario, walking daily 10,000 steps, volunteer weeding for the our community gardens, and now that we can - spending time with family and friends. This summer knitting has been all about using stash yarn to make bandanas, cowls, scarves, etc. as gifts. It's been challenging, fun, and pushing my creativity. Enjoy your summer days too! Thanks for your lovely energy.

[@theknittystew]

Hello Karen! Your summer activities sound truly wonderful (other than weeding, you are very kind to volunteer to do that). Thanks for your message I really enjoyed reading it.

[@casuarinagirl8067]

Thanks for another fun flight ✈️ I so enjoy your podcasts. That frog 🐸🥰 definitely needs a sweater 🤣🤣 those mits will be so much fun, sometimes a splurge is needed, life is short, better than crying or yelling. Thanks again, until next time, Karen

[@theknittystew]

Yarn therapy in this particular case was actually actually a lot less expensive than other forms of therapy! I hurt no one and will turn a negative emotion into Pac-Man gloves - win-win. Thanks for your message!

[@suemccord9723]

So fun to see you again Leanne. The foggy city colorway is such an amazing color for your Ranunculus. When the yarn is in the skein it's so hard to tell how it will turn out, you nailed this! Loved your poem, as well as seeing all the places in your travels. Safe journey and happy knitting! :)

[@rebeccahamon9009]

So much fun going along on your journeys. Knitting along with you from the faaaar west, King Salmon, Alaska, on the edge of Bristol Bay.

[@theknittystew]

Hello Rebecca 👋🏼 Thanks for knitting and ‘travelling’ with me. I Googled where you live and wow so incredible. King Salmon looks amazing.

[@debweiss470]

Hi from St. Paul, MN. I just binge watched all your episodes non-stop. What a pleasure! Thank you for the travelogues (I so miss traveling for the last 2+ years.) Your introductions to Canadian yarns and yarn stores are great, and your disciplined creativity is inspiring! I’m embarrassed to say it took me until episode 5 to understand the Stew in your name, but the lightbulb went on before you explained it in Episode 7-whew! Thanks for sharing your adventures-knitting and otherwise!!

[@theknittystew]

Hello Deb thank you so much for the really great message! I am so grateful to be out flying the friendly skies after one year five months and 20 days on layoff during the pandemic it has made me appreciate my job so much. So nice to meet you and happy to have you travelling with me! 🤗

[@helenlayley]

Clicked because l saw - Halifax - and very quickly realised "We're not in Yorkshire any more, Toto" The reference to the indigenous people of the area reeled me in and l love the detailed chat and observations on the garments / patterns since.

[@theknittystew]

Haha! Love this message Helen! Thanks for watching the video. My mother in law and her mom were from Louth before they came to Canada in 1978.

[@joannelongley5945]

Love your frog and every time I see you knit with Briggs and little in that green colour way I’m inspired to do the same . So far I’ve made one frog with a sweater and have eyes to make two more. They are so much fun😀

[@carmenweiss6505]

Haha! ‘it’s ranunculus how much I love the ranunculus”! Perfection! And I’ve made two already and there will be more. Amazing pattern and your version fits you so well! Also those frogs are ridiculously adorable.

[@RKCALGARY]

YYC. Hi 👋🏼. I started a Ranunculus with a delicious silk merino lace held doubled with large needles because I wanted a super meshy lacy summer layer. It turned out ridonculous to knit. So slippery. I should have used a lifeline but I didn’t and as you know tinking lace let alone 2 strands…anyways I frogged it and will save the yarn for something simpler. I started again with Yarn Less Travelled in a beautiful colorway called Marblehead. It is coming along beautifully. Superwash Merino so it is easy. Anyways I have a pattern suggestion for you. Check out “Sommerknus” on Ravelry. I favourited this one. Looks like a fun and interesting knit. 😊

[@theknittystew]

R K I got a wave of knitting anxiety just reading about that slippery silk merino ..oh noo. You are the second person to mention Sommerknus!! I’m searching it up on Rav right now.

[@seawolfandsage]

Hi from the south oakanagan! Traditional lands of the Syilx ☺️ I’m about an hour south of Kelowna and Art of yarn is one of my LYS! I just had to pause the video to say how amazing I think it is that you’re going to do a land acknowledgment … I found you yesterday and am now binging all your Episodes while I knit a sample sweater for a friend, who has a yarn business called Tofino Knit Co. I am originally from Ucluelet ☺️

[@theknittystew]

Hello Skeena! This message truly made my day. I feel nervous about the land acknowledgment especially with pronunciation, but it is coming from a place of sincerity and respect so I am going to do my best! I looked up Tofino Knit Co and am following now on IG! Yay Canadian yarn businesses and friends who support them. Wish I could come to the Fibrations event but I will be flying non-stop (literally two days between trips) all of August.. but maybe next summer!

[@dorisenderle5857]

You make a great tour guide. Stay safe and keep these visits coming.

[@theknittystew]

Awhh thanks Doris!!

[@claired4581]

Hi, just wanted to say your poem was beautiful 😊 and those ‘froggies’ are soooo cute, I love that you show some of the areas you lay over in, it’s fascinating when you’re the other side of the pond! Hello from South Wales UK 🇬🇧👋

[@theknittystew]

Hello Claire from South Wales! Thank you so much for your kind message and for trekking with me. I am thrilled to have so many knitting friends from around the world!! Knitters unite!!

[@arizonacolbys]

Love the frog! I need to make one for my girls! We also loved Top Gun & I've always loved Tom Cruise & his movies. We've recently gone back & watched all of the Mission Impossible movies with the kids. :)

[@maryannpenner9286]

Your Ranunculus is beautiful in that yarn! Thanks for sharing your knitting journey 🧶 💕

[@theknittystew]

Hello Maryann and thank you so much!! I just can’t believe how much I love this Ranunculus - as knitters there is no greater joy than sharing and loving our craft… other than gathering yarn, that also brings great joy 😆

[@joyceripianzi]

Hi I just binge watched your videos. I know u chuckled that people do that but I like to watch videos when I do easy work and it feels like I’m hanging out with a new friend. So thank you! I’m also interested in hearing about your stew adventures. Looking forward to more. I have knit one ranunculus so far and thinking about number 2. Right now I’m finishing my 20th and final square of the Norah’s vintage afghan. Time to put them all together. Joining you from Massachusetts! I’m a Descendent of wedgeport Nova Scotia. Used to spend summers there as a kid.

[@conniemackay3096]

Your knits are beautiful. Also really enjoy when you show footages of yarn shops you visit.

[@LochBriarKnits]

I love seeing my city through a visitor's eyes. Sometimes you forget how amazing it is. Glad you found your way to The Loop - it's my favourite!

[@theknittystew]

You have such a BEAUTIFUL city!

[@AftonGroveKnitter]

I’m so happy that your channel came to my feed!

[@theknittystew]

Hi Brenda! I am so happy it did too! Welcome welcome! Glad you’re here 🤗

[@Susi1406]

you make the most beautiful items… the frog 🐸 is adorable, the ranunculus is very pretty, the hat looks great and I love the combination of colors!! Thank you for sharing your destinations with us, the lys shop and that absolutely beautiful poem! The footage of the city 🌃 was stunning!!! 🤩 Your videos are so wonderfully prepared! Thank you 😊 🤗

[@theknittystew]

Thank you Crafty ♥️ Heart! I appreciate everything you just said. I had no idea how heart-filling this creative endeavour of making a KZbin Channel would be. It’s worth the steep learning curve!

[@lindashields5939]

Oh what a wonderful episode, once again! Your projects are beautiful and the bits of city tour/yarn shops tour are just amazing. I feel like I get a little chance to see places I’m now unable to go by myself. Thank you for taking us along. Until next one. PS I love Artistic Yarns by Abi! Salam wa sa’aadah

[@cindyalcorn6590]

First time to watch you!, loved it! Halifax is my husband's home city an he writes poems so three things tyed me right in. I knew immediately I'd be subscribing. Very relaxing, informative. Maybe sometime you'll fly into Saint John, New Brunswick??? Hope so you'd fall in love with Cricket Cove. You are a very humble person. Very real, you invite people in. Thank you, will be going back and seeing all your podcasts.

[@theknittystew]

Hi Cindy!! It made me so happy to read this kind and encouraging message. 🥹 Cricket Cove! The name alone is dreamy! I have not made it to New Brunswick but I REALLY would love to. I think our Toronto base gets those? Hmm

[@patriciadouglass7141]

OMG, Those frogs! So fantastic! I have to try and make one! Love those little creatures! You are just so inspiring with all your yarns and projects! Plus, all the places you are taking us and all the yarn shops! Wow! Thank you so much! So appreciate you sharing with us all! I hope I can make that cutie pie frog soon! Take care and travel safe!

[@theknittystew]

They are sweet! Worth a little bit of fiddly-ness. My daughter (who is 22 yrs) LOVES her Frogs and took them with her when she moved out.

[@janeosborne2125]

I’m really enjoying your podcast! Love your style and personality ! I am so loving your videos on Canada - th cities, and yarn shops too! Your sense of humor is great too! I hope you can keep the podcast going as it must be challenging to balance your life. Great job you are a natural!

[@theknittystew]

Hello Jane, what a kind and thoughtful message! Thank you 😊 I’m so glad you’re trekking with me! I am feeling energized and encouraged by this KZbin endeavour. It doesn’t feel overwhelming in any way, so I guess that’s a good sign. I definitely do my best to keep life fun and simple, it serves no one when we stretch ourselves too thin, hey?

[@TheCatlady63]

Halifax Nova Scotia was the first place in Canada I ever visited , we landed in Toronto but had a transfer within the hour to Halifax. We then traveled on to PEI. Thanks for the pictoral visit. Tina

[@gailweeks4334]

At least you don't have to stay out at the airport and get to see some scenery on the Harbour!!! From a former Dartmouthian residing in Calgary. Thank you for the video. PS; I hate the Red Eye too!

[@christineferoli1750]

Loved the chat, such a beautiful place, your poem was awesome and perfectly inspired by that gorgeous evening in an enchanted place!

[@kimberlyr5227]

You are such a treat for the soul…thank you for sharing…🙏🏻

[@Kaet_RN]

Oh your frogs!!! I love them. Your podcast is just so charming and a delight to watch. And i think you are a poet ♥️ thanks for sharing your adventures with us.

[@theknittystew]

Thank you Kaetlyn! What a nice message to start my day!

[@susancormack2618]

Hi, just found your podcast and watched episode 7 while you were in Halifax. I really enjoyed the podcast as well as the segments of Halifax. I’m a prolific YYC knitter as well. I’m looking forward to catching up on all the episodes! Must be so much fun to visit all the yarn shops on your layovers!

[@bernadettemensen7562]

Was very happy to see Halifax again, beautiful city and love the boardwalk.My youngest daughter use to live there for a couple of years.So we got to visit that city.Also went to Cape Breton and loved it.So enjoying your podcast.

[@vickishaw374]

It made my day to see you had a new episode!! Your Rananculous is STUNNING! I love the neckline you did. I just made my first one and used Quince & Co Kestrel linen for a summer top.

[@cruxfibres]

Oh my word! This channel s wonderfully new and fresh for me. It was so nice to knit with you here in Whitehorse, Yukon. Thank you for sharing some pretty awesome footage and details about Halifax.

[@theknittystew]

Hello hello 👋🏼 thank you so much!! This message made my day!! I must make it up to Whitehorse!!

[@dawnbrowne1702]

Hi Leanne, watching for the first time and enjoyed your knitting and travels so much. I haven’t been to Canada but watch other podcasts from there and just love them too. I have the foggie on my list now and like you, there will be more little cuties to follow the green frog! I will certainly have a look back at your previous episodes when time permits. I have been knitting fingerless gloves for family and some friends and really enjoying the easy knitting while watching the Tour de France, unfortunately it is late at night here in Sydney 🇦🇺 but getting lots of knitting done.....almost like the red eye 😉. Thanks again, Dawn

[@theknittystew]

Hi Dawn! Welcome 👋🏼! I love fingerless gloves. I have one pattern in my queue that I’m going to try using unspun.

[@amandawood]

I found your channel through a mention from Bonnie at Meadowsweet Farm Fiber Arts and have been working my way through your videos. The format you have is fresh and keeps me interested in where you'll be next, what yarn stores you'll visit, and what you're knitting on! Thanks for sharing with us!

[@theknittystew]

Aw! Hello Amanda and welcome! I will be sure to track down Bonnie and say a big thank you to her. I am so happy to have another fiber friend trekking along! Have a great weekend

[@kathleengerwien845]

I just enjoyed binge watching your first 7 episodes and enjoyed them immensely. I have wanted to travel the breadth of Canada since I took a North America geography course in college. I fell out of my chair when you said you were celebrating your 49th birthday. I initially saw you as late 20's to early 30's! I have enjoyed all of your content, to include the knitting, the travel, and the personal touches. I had the chance to drive from Portland Oregon to Victoria, BC (via the ferry!) and then to Vancouver (one night was not long enough!) and then into the mountains with stops at Revelstoke and Radium Hot Springs, all of it beautiful country and delightful people! We drove through Calgary on our way to Montana. I had stress in the Calgary traffic, and it was a weekend afternoon, no less! Anyway, the drive through the farming section of Alberta was lovely, too. I hope we can continue our travels to the northeast coast of Canada as well. I worked in a yarn store in my very early career. I remember we had several stewardesses (I am old enough that stewardess was the term!) who were regular customers as they knit and did needlework in their hotel rooms when they did not have long enough layovers for other activity. Thank you so much for including us in your exciting work life and knitting hobby. In terms of some of the questions you asked: 1. I have been knitting since age 5 with really starting to knit garments and blankets in my teens. I am not working on anything right now because wrist tendonitis caught up with me during the pandemic (way too much typing from teleworking). I see the hand surgeon this week to see if surgery is the next step. If I were knitting, I would be working on a sweater for my husband. We had been married 16 years, after dating for 2 years. We figure we can put the boyfriend sweater curse to test now. Then I was going to knit 2 summer tops for me. Summer will be long gone before I can pick up the needles again!

[@theknittystew]

Hello Kathleen 👋🏼 thank you for this wonderful message! I can’t believe how many wonderful people like you have found this Channel! This ‘connecting’ doesn’t get old. Two things: I do hope you are able to adventure to the NE of Canada.. it’s just glorious. Second, wishing you a speedy wrist recovery!! Thanks for watching and being here 🤗

[@heatherleask3752]

Thank you so much for your impressions of Halifax. That episode popped into my feed so I will admit I binged watched the previous podcasts before hitting Halifax. You are tremendous, I enjoyed every episode and cant believe what you bring along to make these podcasts so memorable. I hope some one sets up a knit night for your next visit to Halifax I would love to attend. Most enjoyable to watch!

[@theknittystew]

Heather !!! Messages like this truly give me the oomph to keep making these videos. The learning curve has been steep, but I am having a blast. Thank you SOO much for being here I appreciate it a lot 🤗!!

[@kathy3281]

Thank you for a great podcast. I just discovered your channel and really enjoyed your podcast! I’ve never been to Nova Scotia but now I really want to go! It was gorgeous in the rain and the sun. Those frogs are too cute; I really must make one 😍. Happy knitting 🧶

[@theknittystew]

Hi Kathy! Thank you for your message. Halifax is such a beautiful, historic city rain or shine!

[@donnabaisley6581]

Leanne,I recently discovered your channel. I love you sharing your travels. I have been to Halifax. Beautiful place. your a fabulous knitter. I taught myself to crochet many years ago. Tied to knit but I could crochet a lot faster so never mastered knitting. I have been a quilter since 2005 and have not crochet. Miss it and trying to start a small project. Love your little animals you knit🥰 I use to crochet anything I could read the instructions! Oh I love that blue and gold tone sweater!!!! Best wishes in your passions💖

[@tinam.1163]

Thank you for being awesome!

[@desireeyarber2808]

O my goodness! You have rocked that Ranunculus!! I'm so glad you are a natural at podcasting, relaxed and conversational, keeping it intimate. Your tam is fantastic and the fit is adorable. Yes, summer is going well for me. I am finishing lots of sock projects and gearing up for a sweater soon. I like your clever Rumba description of how you work on projects, slow, quick, quick. Same here 🙂 Great treats seeing the beautiful cities you visit! Love your guided tours and lovely poetry. Travel safely and do sleep. well.

[@suecaseysuecquilts4301]

Beautiful job on the Ranunculus, Leanne. Your frogs are cute. I knitted some frogs from a pattern by a Norwegian group raising funds for the rain forest. They can be addictive.🙂 Although I live in Ottawa now, I am from Halifax. Very familiar with the Hydrostone area. My grandmother lived in that area. You sound like you really enjoyed the city. Happy travels. Cheers

[@sharonvanpelt6005]

Love getting notified that there’s a new episode up. Thanks to watching your podcast I got to the ribbing on my Shiola top which means a new cast on for me. I absolutely love your two frogs and cannot wait to see the sweater. I’m thinking there should be a sweater for each holiday. Thank you again for sharing your layovers. Love seeing and learning a bit about various places in Canada. I just finished winding yarn for my second Ranunculus and just recently bought the Sommerknus pattern which is a summer tee with different stitch patterns for the body. Have a great week.

[@theknittystew]

The Shiola top is soooo gorgeous! So many patterns are showing up in my life with Linen Quill… how can I resist this kind of temptation ?

[@lacy5890]

First time viewer and I LOVED IT!!!! 🤗💕 I'm here in the 🇺🇸 and seeing the town of Halifax was so much fun, thank you for taking us all on an adventure. Love seeing the 'Province House' ~ side note, my last name is Province ☺Hope to visit with you again, soon. Take care, be well, safe travels 🙌🏼

Thank you so much for doing the facts of each city - I find it very fascinating! Going to the Calgary Stampede is on my bucket list. Hopefully one day! I love The Loop in Halifax, I visited in 2017.

Love seeing Halifax! Your Ranunculus is perfect.

[@stephanieandchrisclark6905]

Hi Leanne! As soon as I found you I had to binge watch. I am now in New Brunswick but lived in YYC for 7 years where I met my husband. I travelled the world for my job in aviation for many years and wish I would have done what you are doing by taking the opportunity to visit all the yarns shops. I’m so jealous but living vicariously through you. Keep doing what you are doing. You are fun to watch and such an inspiration!

[@tonyalynnd8732]

I love Atlantic Canada. So glad I moved back here 17 years ago! Those frogs are adorable. Looking forward to your next location and podcast.

[@rosiefartch2329]

Hi Leanne. I found your video this week and have just finished binge watching. I love seeing your projects, cities you visit and the yarn shops. Cheers from Australia.

[@shetlandlace]

I loved your poem. Thank you for sharing it. Yes, stitch markers between color or pattern changes is essential. I do it religiously. Thank you for sharing it.

[@lauraarmstrong4601]

I seriously love the East Coast. Two of my kids live in NB and a couple of years ago my daughter's family and I made a trip to Nova Scotia and PEI. I had never been to Halifax and I just loved it. And we ended up in the same pub you had the chowder in. What a treat to see your tour of the city.

[@doreenmaclauchlan6697]

Hello from Gibsons, BC. I heard about your podcast on Fiber Trek so had to come over and check it out. Have now watched your back issues and enjoyed them all. Great combination of knitting, yarn and local history. Vicarious travel is all I can manage these days so I thank you for that, and look forward to more.PS the yarn you dyed is fabulous!

I have knit 3 Ranunculus and I love them. Yours is amazing and beautiful.❤️🇨🇦❤️just found your podcast today, love it, really like Canadian Podcasts. Just got home from a trip to Uk and Iceland and flight attendants are such hard workers. I really want to go to Halifax.

[@theknittystew]

Thank you Connie! This is a rewarding career, and yes it has very intense days but balances itself out for me with ALL the good.

[@jumboshrimp13]

Love your podcast, made me laugh so much when you asked your skein what it wanted to be! I learned a lil bit about my own city. And I love that you appreciate our Atlantic cities even when they are rainy and foggy

[@theknittystew]

Thank you so much for this message SeaRam2015! I still remember my first flights into Atlantic Canada back when I started flying in 2008 - it was love at first sight 😻

[@hollyscott8772]

Thanks for sharing all of the great Halifax footage and facts. I really enjoyed your poem!

[@theknittystew]

Thank you Holly! So nice!

[@oritreuter5578]

Good morning from Winnipeg. I just found you and have really enjoyed your pod cast. I appreciate your calm approach and your travels. I also try to visit local yarn shops when i travel and love to hear about new places. Take good care of yourself.

[@suekilgour5360]

Love your runnunculus, it’s a great pattern….I’ve made four. Little frog is gorgeous, you may have inspired me to knit one too Halifax looks so beautiful, I would love to visit one day so thank you for the wonderful footage. Another inspiring podcast thank you Leanne and now you are at 2000 subscribers, congratulations 👏

[@barbararadzeviciusbondi4150]

Hi Leanne. I was experiencing an extremely painful night last night with a return of the arthritis flare-up in my intercostal muscles, and at 2:30 am I turned my phone on and you were there talking about beautiful green yarns, a look around a light house on a grassy hill and Halifax Nova Scotia shops. So happy to see you and thank you for bringing (I don't want to say 'distraction') help for me in a time of stress and anxiety. Blessings and fun travels in the Canadian airways xx

[@theknittystew]

Barbara I am so sorry to hear about your flare-up lastnight. 😞 Life with pain like that would be extremely difficult. I have to tell you that reading your message, that I was able to distract you, and in a distant way ‘keep you company’ during those wee hours of the morning made me feel useful and good inside. Knowing that I’m being of service and bringing good into the world, made me emotional in a good way. Hope you have a pain-free sleep tonight.

[@shelley9599]

Wow...You ARE a poet!! Thanks for such a lovely poem about my little province!!

[@jackiehiskes3998]

Haha, so innovative, to use hat ribbing for a new sweater! Love it! First time watching you and really felt I was with a knitting friend ☺️

[@theknittystew]

😂 👋🏼 Hey Jackie… this is my favourite type of comment as it’s exactly why I started this up! I am that knitting friend, admittedly a sleep deprived and kinda whacky friend who likes to ‘chitty chat’… lol like where did I get that from? 😝

[@knitsforthesoulpodcast4186]

I love Jules yarns, own several of her origins. It's so awesome you gorgeous German wool. 🤩 many greetings from Germany . Can't wait to see your stew queue in progress. And I just adoooooore your Ranunculous!

[@theknittystew]

🤗

[@christyclark9695]

LOVED this episode! Your sense of humor really makes my day. 😂RUMBA KNITTER! 🤣👍 absolutely describes me, too! So funny. Beautiful new Ranunculus, well done and looks great! I’m working on a Home Camisole that I saw on It Is A Sarah podcast. And my next quick one will be the frog like you made. 😁 Happy Rumba knitting! Christy from Central Oregon US

[@theknittystew]

Hi Christy!! You are a rumba knitter too!?? YAY!! Thanks for travelling with me. I cannot wait to see your Frog!! Please tag me on Instagram 🐸 when he/she is done!

[@marrykardux1812]

So nice to find another Canadian knitter. I really enjoy your site and am glad I found it. Hello from BC.

[@theknittystew]

Hello Marry 👋🏼!! Glad you’re here!! Thanks for hanging out with the Channel!!

[@lenaweaver4751]

Hi, just discovered your lovely podcast and love your beautiful energy! I am in Maine. Have friends in Cape Breton and hope to visit them next year to see that beautiful part of the world. Thank you for sharing all the travel through your work and of course yarn shops…. I also love Jule and her beautiful yarns, so far made some socks and will be making the Humlebi shawl ( Fiber Tales) from her yarn as well. I think it is awesome that you were able to get some of the unspun. I just made a Felix cardigan with Spincycle and held it with Farmers daughter fiber’s Oh Dang! which is 74% Suri Alpaca and 26%silk. Might be an option to hold with your unspun instead of mohair. The frog is so cute! Safe travels and look forward to watching you again

[@theknittystew]

Hi Lena 👋🏼 Thank you for this lovely message and for travelling with me! I hope you make it up to Cape Breton next year.. Nova Scotia as a whole is stunning! Speaking of stunning your Felix sounds insaaane! Super weird thing about me is I do get ittchy from alpaca.

[@carolynblack420]

Just found your podcast (thanks to the youtube algorithm!) and so glad I did!

[@theknittystew]

Yay KZbin algorithm!! So glad you’re here Carolyn!

[@marie-michele4060]

So happy you posted, great episode again!! I particularly liked your poem, and your sweater is just gorgeous, I'm drooling over the color.

[@patiharville8210]

Love the frogs & yes the sweater is necessary! Love your videos. 😘

[@theknittystew]

Thanks Pati!

[@wendybradley8420]

Just found your podcast. Awesome to find another Canadian knitter to follow. Thanks so much

[@theknittystew]

Hi Wendy! Thanks so much for travelling with me!

[@VascoKnits]

Hello! I have just found your podcast. It’s wonderfully relaxing with little city snippets. I loved it! So lovely to see YHZ too, has been far too long since I’ve been. You’re making me a tad nostalgic from my cabin crew days as well. Going to watch back fro your first one. 😊 Happy knitting and happy flying, the sun always shines above the clouds ⛅️

[@theknittystew]

Hiiii 👋🏼 welcome!! Thank you KZbin for throwing me in your feed!! What airline did you used to work for?

[@VascoKnits]

@@theknittystew Hi, thanks for replying. Used to work for BMed, they no longer exist sadly. I had such fun, do miss it sometimes. Can’t wait to get back to Canada, was in YUL in 2019 and YYZ as well, not been to the west coast for long time, keep meaning to get to knit city YVR but not had a chance yet. YYC has even been longer, think 1998 was the last time I was there. 😞. Happy knitting! 😃

[@virginiasattler-reimer9554]

So fun to see Halifax in the Summer. My husband and I went there over xmas one year and discovered just how seriously the holiday is taken there, everything was closed for 3 days! Lots of funny memories from that trip. We had a great time! Love the frog!

[@PatlLawson]

Loved hearing “welcome aboard”! I’m always so happy to see you Leanne and your lovely knits, musings and touring us around. Travel has certainly become awkward at best, overwhelmingly challenging for the unlucky of us, you’re a true trooper to keep at it given these times. Hope you’re getting ‘danger pay’ 😅 Cheers from YHM. 🍹Little froggy has stolen my heart btw. And maybe a ranunculus in my cue after all

[@theknittystew]

Hi Pat thank you so much that’s super nice… The ranunculus fever is coming for ya haha!

[@catherinewithall8344]

Thanks for sharing all your travel and knitting adventures.

[@noidlehands2019]

Thank you so much for sharing your travels with us! My travels as a travel nurse is what prompted me to start my channel. Unfortunately, I haven't had the chance to get out and explore as much as I would like. Your finished objects are so lovely!
