Thanks for your lovely episode. I’m heading to Amsterdam this summer, so I was particularly interested to see this one! As for your Plum yarn, I have a similar color yarn which I used for a Belle pullover. It has become one of my favorites and was a joy to knit! 🤗

[@herbgarden.knitwear]

That's wonderful to hear, Diane! Wishing you a great time in Amsterdam! ❤️

Congratulations on becoming a sock knitter!! Welcome aboard. My friend and I attended a sock class back in 2017, I still have the small sock sample we knitted and I've been hooked ever since.

[@herbgarden.knitwear]

Thank you, Julia! :) I can totally understand now. Once you fall in love with sock - and I fell hard - it is truely hard to stop. :D

[@annakertesz1]

That was so lovely! You made me want to go there too 😊

[@herbgarden.knitwear]

Thanks for watching, Rorie! :) I am happy that you enjoyed it.

[@kaitlins9744]

This was lovely, makes me want to plan a yarn-tour trip to Amsterdam! I'm also excited for your next podcast episode to see what socks you have chosen to make. Can't wait to see those socks!

[@herbgarden.knitwear]

That is awesome to hear, Kaitlin! :) Thanks for watching! I just uploaded the new episode and you can definitely expect to see some socks. ;) I hope you will enjoy it.

[@ruthmcniff4765]

Wonderful that you were able to put together this podcast considering the sound issues you had! How nice to hear your excitement for new yarn and project ideas.

[@herbgarden.knitwear]

Thank you, Ruth! :) It is lovely to hear that.

[@ingridterbeek]

What a nice podcast about your trip to Amsterdam, Hanna. I love Amsterdam, like to go there. S&P is indeed so amazing, the other two yarn shops I’ve never been, but I will for sure go when I will be in Amsterdam again. You’ve bought some nice yarns and souvenirs.

[@herbgarden.knitwear]

Thank you, dear Ingrid! :) I am glad that you enjoyed it. If you are in Amsterdam again, please let me know how you liked the other two yarn stores. :)

[@ingridterbeek]

@@herbgarden.knitwear If I go there, I will let you know😃

[@jannekekrabbendam2606]

Hi Hanna, that was lovely, thanks for the nice recommendations! As a new knitter from the Netherlands, I didn't know the last two yarn stores yet and I will definitely visit them!

[@herbgarden.knitwear]

That is wonderful to hear, Janneke! :) Thanks for watching and congratulations on becomming a newbie knitter! :) Welcome to the knitting community!

[@mandyleighton7261]

Thank you for the Amsterdam tour, I’m hoping to visit this year, so the map is very helpful. My first set of 9” circulars were wooden ChiaoGoos from my lys. I foolishly loaned them out before covid and not seen the person since! They did convert me to ChiaoGoos tho 😊

[@herbgarden.knitwear]

That is great! I hope you will have a wonderful time in Amsterdam, Mandy! :) I wasn't aware that wooden 9" circular ChiaoGoos existed. Thanks for letting me know! :) I hope you will get yours back soon. I will keep my fingers crossed for you.

[@karenhattiberries9158]

The best needles I've used for sock knitting is Addis 9" Sock Wonder needles - one of them longer than the other and makes things so much easier.

[@herbgarden.knitwear]

Thanks for sharing, Karen! :) I heard this before from other knitters. I haven't tried them myself but they seem to be very popular.
