[@ShanaH414]

I just reached out to Ness about turning my grandma’s knitting needles into jewelry. Thank you so much for spotlighting them!

[@KnittyNatty]

Aww that will be so special!

[@lorrainekrahn4498]

I also thought that was the best innovation I have seen in a long time. I especially loved the shawl pins. I’m definitely going to check out the site

[@daydreaming_knitter]

I think I'm going to reach out to Ness about turning my grandma's knitting needles into some jewelry and shawl pins too! I would love them, and they would make great gifts for my family 💕 Thanks for another great video, Natalie!

[@sarahashley13]

That is such a great idea!!! Though I still use certain sizes of my great g'mas needles I have a whole vase full that just serve as decoration in my craft room. I would love earrings that commemorate her and the incredible craft she passed onto me!

[@katiecoughlin5179]

I love that you are featuring all these small businesses. I loved learning about so many new to me dyers and stores!

[@jessys9868]

I can’t tell you how many yard shops I visited after watching your various videos! I tell each yarn shop owner that I came because of you.

[@KnittyNatty]

Ahhh I love that! Thank you!!

[@lavendercottagefibrearts]

i live the vibe of these smaller shows that you can see everything without being crowded or rushed and not have to make snap decisions. it seems much nicer for a sense of community as well and not just a faceless mass of people. i'm sure the vendors like it as well to be able to take some time to chat to their customers about what they're going to use the yarn for.

[@KnittyNatty]

Yes it was great! Everyone seemed to be relaxed and having a lovely time ☺️

[@pamculver7138]

Oh my goodness, I absolutely love that "what happened on bourbon street!" Stunning!! Thanks so much for sharing!!

[@jennifermoody7363]

It was fun seeing Robyn of Teeny Button out & about! Another great video featuring small businesses doing cool things 🧶

[@chelseabergman5009]

oh my goodness, the Voodoo Daquiri colorway from Whimzee is gorgeous!!

[@heathertucker7056]

That looked a really lovely small show to visit! Lovely to be able to browse in comfort! Thanks for taking us along x

[@tracyolson6922]

So wonderful meeting you and knitting with you on Thursday night in Las Cruces. Yes, my earrings are by Ness.😊 I am so excited about your channel!

Thankyou for showcasing each business at the Yarni Gras market. It was great to see all the lovely yarn, jewellery and related accessories. You did a great job Kent on matching suitable music to the theme in Louisiana though I have never visited. Thank you and safe travels.

Hi Kitty Natty I loved your filming of Yarni Gras. How can we find out about other yarn gathering like this in other states. I like to travel and would love to coordinate a trip around a yarn event 💙❤️🤍💜

[@annabellavampirella]

I wonder if the Wool and Folk debacle helped all yarn shows know what not to do.😮
