Happy birthday! I’m sending thank you for starting me on my spinning journey! More spinning content please! I’m a fellow science PhD

[@1487marta]

I love anything to do with spinning, dying, and carding.

[@WoollenWellness_TotalEBookish]

Happy Birthday! I hope your 36th year is one of contentment and enjoyment of family, friendship and fibre !

[@connietopor4629]

Happy Birthday Sara. Your sweater looks great. Love all your content. Anything knitting and spinning would be great.

[@janatherton9194]

Happy birthday, Sara! It is lovely to hear your good news and to see your energy and enthusiasm for your fibre pursuits blooming again. I have been a subscriber for a few years since I started using my spinning wheels, I discovered your channel looking for different ways to dye and prepare fibre and I would love to see more spinning/knitting/fibre prep content.🍰 Have fun on your trip!

[@Yarn_Lab]

No worries, there will be plenty of spinning and knitting and fibre prep! my ideas list is ages long, never enough time in the day for me! Thanks for the birthday wishes!

[@leannemorrill1475]

Hi Sara, very Happy Birthday to you! Love seeing all you knitting and spinning and all the yarn. I am not a great knitter but love seeing your videos.

[@katlady1019]

I hope your birthday was fabulous 🎉. KZbin algorithm is so goofy. I’ve followed along here and there. I love your content. I especially loved the Traveler Cowl spin. I just finished my own Traveler Cowl using handspun Marabrigo Arcos from stash. I have a Louet drumcarder and I always find it inspiring to see people creating on theirs. I completely get how life can send us major curveballs. I’m glad you had good news from your oncologist. 2022 was a curveball year for our family when my 33 year old son suffered a massive stroke. He is still dealing with the after effects but life is settling down and we are slowly adjusting. My fiber life was definitely on the back burner but 2024 finds me creating to my hearts content. All the best to you and your family❤

[@graniabenge2814]

Hi Sara. Wishing you a very Happy Birthday and many happy returns!

[@caoburton20]

Happy birthday! Been following you for years, looking forward to seeing more content from you - vlogs, parenting, knitting, spinning etc. All the things!

[@Caelmore76]

Happy Birthday! I would love to see wool processing and spinning the most but any fibery anything is wonderful.

[@rowenabooth14]

Happy birthday ! Mine was Tuesday and I am now 60. I’m in Australia and love spinning and knitting .

[@anitasloane9628]

Happy birthday. I found your channel when I was diagnosed with the same cancer. It is a rough one but I too made it thru. I have not really gotten back to knitting but I watch a lot of KZbin on knitting. My stash has grown and am going to festivals and traveling in my Ford transit converted camp van. I'm 77 and i went from SC to CA last year, by myself. My husband of 56 years had a great vacation without me and so did I. I think/know the cancer pushed me to get out and do it. I'm glad I could take the three months to find myself and a whole new world. Sorry I don't "do" Instagram but I will be following you here. Best wishes for your plans. I'm be with you.

[@diamondringirl]

Happy Birthday. i hope it is filled with loads of fun. i have a BD tomorrow. i plan to knit. i'd love to see more on the spinning. Here's to another spin around the sun. or is it the moon around the earth? either one..here's to another spin on the spinning wheel too.

[@kerrynnewbegin2590]

Happy birthday Sara. I enjoy all of your content and get one of those little dopamine hits when there is a new one. I would love to see more knitting tips (have watched your viral weaving ends one at least three times), spinning content, and fibre prep, especially in relation to colour blending. I am also keen to learn more about how you design your own knitwear. The ability to do that off the cuff “I’ll just make a Spider-Man sweater as I go” feels like a super-power to me. I am not sure I have seen any of your weaving content, but I am about to embark on a two shaft, table loom restoration and then start learning to weave, so will look out for that type of content too. My only other request for you is that you hold fast to that confidence you express in what you have to offer, and not apologise for requesting things from your audience. You are essentially providing a free knowledge service, it is not unreasonable to ask people to actively show their support for the effort you put into that. Oh and I don’t “instagram”, so my lack of support on that front isn’t about you. You are once of a few tempters to get me there though, as a consumer of content at least.

[@Yarn_Lab]

Thank you so much for the truly kind comments, and the great ideas ( I also have a table loom I'd like to get up and going with in the next few months, so I'll be happy to share that process!).

[@-lisamchuk]

Happy birthday! I’ve enjoyed following your journey over the years and look forward to seeing your future projects!

[@user-xo8hq2go7g]

Love your videos! You came into my feed initially due to your breast cancer content. Wonderful to see you now as a survivor. Mixed in with your knitting and spinning content, I think many would benefit from hearing how the work you love has been an aid to your mental health in the cancer journey. Best wishes and a beautiful year ahead! 😊

[@amykehoe7183]

Happy birthday! I hope you had many reasons to smile! I love to watch videos where fiber folks take a project from beginning(processing/spinning) through end(a finished garment.) This is how I prefer to work, and it really nourishes my creativity to do so.

[@Yarn_Lab]

Ideally I'd love to do more projects like that too, but the knitting end of things bogs it down (partly because I'm a bad knitter who has way too many projects on the go at any one time), but I agree that those types of projects are the best to watch!

[@aprilcolosimo]

Happy Birthday! I’d love to see knitting with handspun yarn 😊

[@sezb8119]

Happy Birthday, i love watching your spinning and knitting

[@jamiethrogmorton2540]

I always like seeing that there’s a new video from you! Your confidence and adventurous knitting /spinning content is always inspiring. Happy birthday, I think 36 is ideal!! 🎉❤

[@chantald9661]

Happy birthday! My request would be to talk about what makes you happy 😊

[@brendij]

Happy Birthday! The best is yet to come!

[@jenniferbrighty5120]

Hi Sara, I Wish you A Very Happy Birthday.🎉🎉🎉🥳 I'm not sure whether you not being able to get into your Instagram is due to you buying a New Phone. The reason I say this us because I had a message from FB last week telling me that I needed to reset my Instagram account. I haven't recently bought a new phone and I don't have a channel on KZbin. I wasn't sure why FB would be asking me to reset Instagram. I thought it might help you with your Instagram account. Happy Spinning Fibre Friend 🎡🐑🥰 Hope you're having a Wonderful Birthday Weekend 🌟🌞🥳🥰 Take care and stay safe Lots of love and Big Hugs Jen xxxx ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🐈‍⬛🐓🐓

[@MsGg43]

Happy Birthday from one Aquarian to another 😊. For spinning videos, twist! Gosh it's tricky! Right now I think I am underplying everything. Initially, I overplyed everything. Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated!

[@jewelsinterests]

Happy bday-I am always late to every party....I found your Instagram....your content is fun as I just found you online....😊 I also just found fiber artistry a year ago and am in love. I was a crocheter and knitter for years but it was always commercial yarn. I am glad your health seems to be doing better and I just like your channel/ content. Hope to see more!

[@beverlythompson3246]

Happy birthday! Already a subscriber but if I could, I’d subscribe twice. I enjoy your dyeing , spinning, knitting and working around your homestead videos and even a bit of your more scientific videos😊

[@irisbrouillard9728]

Happy birthday, Sara! I wish you all the best, health and a zillion subscribers! Just subscribed to your Instagram account and absolutely love your cowboy style! ❤

[@chart461]

Happy Birthday , I hope you have wonderful time😊

[@susanneoch2603]

Hello Sara, happy birthday from me too. Your wishes are easy to come true. I follow you almost since you started here on youtube and I love your spinning and knitting content. But I "miss" your weaving experiences and I'm still curious about the restoration of your old floor loom. But no pressure! Life happens and things change. Everything has its own time. Wish you all the best

[@travelandlivebravely1646]

I found you from your Traveler cowl spin video. I am enjoying your content. Hope you had a lovely birthday.

[@rebeccarose2346]

Happy Birthday, Sara I love watching and hearing everything u do and everything u do n between ur videos. So any content u decide to video I know I will enjoy. Have a nice trip back home and enjoy your time with ur parents.

[@revivedyarns]

I like spinning and knitting content!

[@Naturetails417]

Happy Birthday! Love all your content.❤😊😊😊

[@genathompson5625]

Happy birthday! I l look fed a series you did or started a few years ago about processing a fleece.

[@Ahlathein]

Already a subscriber, but i will watch more and thumbs up for ya more! Happy birthday

[@KnitDesserts]

Happy birthday! So sorry about the 'gram debacle! I followed the new one!

[@sandraquince1970]

Happy birthday, reference content I originally started following you for spinning but would also be interested in fiber prep or dyeing fiber. Just take it easy any videos are a bonus just good to see you fighting back!

[@audreyh3809]

Happy Birthday fellow Aquarian. 🎉🎂🎈I was already a subscriber here on KZbin, but I’m not sure about Instagram, so I will make sure to go over there and follow you. I hope that all your birthday wishes come true.

[@TwilightKnitter27]

Happy Belated Birthday! 🎉I’m late to the party, but I’ve subscribed and have loved the content I’ve been able to see so far! Looking forward to more videos.

[@loribelmont2648]

Happy Birthday Sara! I love seeing all the things you, including you sweatering up to brave the cold to feed the chickens. I spin, dye, weave, knit and just started learning a knitting machine, so i'm excited to see everything you do. When i saw the insane amount of Christmas knitting you were doing I made my sister start watching. After showing the color work sweater that Marshall cut with scissors, we now lovingly refer to you as Scissors Mom. Thank you for having a real voice and I hope you get all your fiber wishes!

[@ColorsofHopeCraftsASMR]

Hey fellow Aquarius-happy birthday! My birthday was last Saturday. I have similar goals on my channel, but I’ve been going for only four years, not nine years. Your videos were some of the first spinning and fiber prep videos I ever watched, and all those years ago, I never would have imagined that we would ever become friends, but through the world of social media, we made it happen! I’m grateful to have you as my friend, and I’m glad you are doing better!

[@Jules_W]

Happy Birthday Sarah 🎂

[@user-ll2im4nq9i]

Happy Birthday! 🥳

[@user-bh3kc7gx4e]

Happy Birthday

[@user-oo3xu2xd4c]

Hiya and happy birthday!

[@megcarr3126]

Happy Birthday Sara! 🎉🎂I have just followed your new Instagram account. I can't believe you got locked out of your OG one. I have been watching since the beginning. I would love to see some information about your preferences about which spindle types you prefer or what you started spinning on? I hope you have a lovely birthday. 😁

[@josianerouleau9208]

Happy birthday!

[@Yarn_Lab]

Thanks!!

[@pamyaun936]

I followed on IG and already a subbie on KZbin. Do you think I could learn to knit by watching UT tutorials? Happy Birthday. 🎂🎂🎂

[@Yarnloveturtle]

Done done done 💕🐢

[@cheskydivision]

Don’t forget to add homestead content 😊

[@Yarn_Lab]

I'm sure some will creep in, but KZbin algorithm already seems to dislike the mix of my cancer story videos with the yarn content, I'm sure if I threw the homesteading stuff in here as well the algorithm would explode.

[@margaretmillar7866]

Hi Sara - I’ve just found your channel from watching your spinning yarn for the traveller shawl video so the KZbin algorithm is working fine. I’ve now subscribed and followed you on Instagram. I love finding new spinning and knitting channels to watch. Ohh and hello from the UK.

[@beverleylawton6899]

It’s great to have ambitions and I admire you being so open and upfront. I already follow you on Insta and am a subscriber. I look forward to seeing your old wheel restored and working. 😊🙏
