Morning lovely. Well here I. North west UK it's breezy so wearing my knitted folklore hood by you I made last winter and it's perfect. Love how the ood folds down when I remove it To go indoors. Not on Instagram do you have email so I can forward pikies. Much love Di xx loving autumn days and hail and frost and bit of snow. And cosy log burner xx

How fun! I must try this too

I love the lining you chose for the vest

I enjoyed watching this. Your quilt is going to be so good, really like all the colours. I’m hoping to knit a pelica vest soon, yours is lovely.

Hi Lorna I love your waxed jacket. Do you ever do commissions as in sewing garments for other people? I am definitely making the vest so thanks for sharing. You are very inspirational and I love your attitude about building a positive future through making things. Thank you

Had anxiety this morning and managed to find some time to sit down and with my knitting and watch your video. It was so calming and relaxing, that by the time the video finished I forgot all about my anxiety ❤

Hi Lorna! I've been a viewer for a while but have watched many of your videos particularly in the past few days. I love your energy and makes and am very inspired and comforted by your content which is much needed right now. Love from the US <3

Hi Lorna 👋 Lovely soothing chat and 'show and tell', thank you. I love your closing message.

Thank you for a lovely video, I'm glad the algorithm brought me here. :) The colours of your yarns are absolutely lovely!

I loved all your beautiful makes this month Lorna and the colours of yarn you dyed are wonderful -sadly by the time I saw this video your online shop had sold out of everything I wanted to buy!

Nice fit on your trousers. When I sew buttons on, I start with the knot on the rights side, under the button. I also place a coin as a spacer so that the button is not too tight against the fabric, which tends to fray the thread over time as you button the pants. On the last pass through the holes of the button, I wind the thread around the threads between the button and the fabric to create a shank, then pull the needle through the fabric, keeping the needle on the right side, then tie a knot. That way, the two knots are under the button, rather than being on the inside.

Love the dresses. I wore dresses so much of my life, but don't have the occasion to wear them as much now. Your wedding dress is lovely. I think the triangle construction is what gave it the bias drape that is so lovely.

Thank you

J Stern Designs has a youtube channel that explains the ways to get certain results when sewing pants (eliminating bagginess, increasing crotch depth, etc.) I have learned from them, even though I've been sewing for over 60 years.

Thank you for another lovely video✨️ You are so calming and lovely to listen to😊 And i love all the colors you are using😍

Oh I wish I lived near Stroud ❤. Beautiful makes Lorna 🥰

🙋🏼‍♀️🇦🇺

Thank you 🥰

Another lovely video, thank you Lorna

I always love these long chatty videos, where you just talk about your ideas and projects that you're working on : )

i love your handmade outfits!

Hi Lorna, I have finished my Pelica vest, mine has come up a bit big for me so I might felt it a bit when I block it, I used 100% wool. Did you block yours? love you quilt ❤

I love your videos❤ Is there a way to buy ONLY the pattern for the fallow headband? Thanks

Hello Lorna, Hope you’re keeping well. I love your new jacket. I hope one day to face my fear with my sewing machine and produce some homemade clothes. I’m so excited for the knitting retreat in the new year! As well as meeting you all. Happy making and gardening 😍 Kim x

I’m in Gloucestershire in Berkeley- love your videos. 😊

Think of it this way, in ancient lore Halloween (Samhain) was the start of a new year, rather than the start of the end in modern culture. Maybe that thought will get us through jan-feb. 🤔 Maybe. Love your yarn colours.

I love your videos, I love listening to craft talk and you present it in such a way that calms my anxiety. Never stop being you :)

Lovely calming video and I've just ordered one of the sock kits and one of the mitten kits. I hope I get on OK as I'm not that good at knitting but want to improve. All the best from a very unseasonably warm and sunny Inverness! x

hey lorna thanks for another great video!

I love the quilt ❤

I’ve just found your channel and really enjoyed this episode. I like to see repeat outfits, I feel it’s much more relatable to how many people dress. I’m wanting lots of vests at the moment.

I just finished watching your lovely, cozy video. It’s been hard day here in the US, after our contentious election. It was just what I needed, slow making, cozy and filled with lovely makes! Thanks for making my day so much more tolerable and brighter, emphasizing the important things in day to day life. 😊

I am really appreciating your lovely content on a difficult day. I aspire to sewing clothes and love this pattern. Maybe fabric shopping is in my future…

Maybe felted ovals would be good as earflaps inside hats to make them warmer.

Thank you for the vicarious travel. I love the shops that are in old buildings. Some old towns (circa 1770s) have old buildings, and the shops are cozy and quirky. Knitting for Olive makes me think Danish Modern (empty and spare in design). I guess the yarn selection is great, but the ambience wouldn't be the same as in a crowded old shop with nooks and crannies.

I love your simple sleeveless dresses that you wear as what we call jumpers in the U.S., not to be confused with the British term jumper to mean a pullover sweater! I noticed your serged seams on the pants. Is cone thread in colors easy to find in the U.K.? I had already sewn for almost 30 years before I got an overlock machine. It revolutionized my sewing clothing for my sons, and is still going strong over 30 years since I purchased it!

I enjoy listening to your podcasts. I'm a caregiver, so can't get out to seek like-minded people, so it's nice to have company when I knit. The deep red color in velvet or velour might make a nice elasticated skirt for the holidays!

This was such a helpful and well explained video. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. Just found your channel and it is wonderful!!

Lovely shawl, love the retreat idea but use a powerchair so I guess this is not accessible

Resources...

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on how to balance out creativity and recourses..

Thank you for the lovely video.....loved the trip to your allotment. Could you say the name of the dress you wear with the little black tshirt? Love that style and would love the pattern. Thank you and happy crafting!

Oh, I wish I could go to the retreat, unfortunately I live in Canada! I would love to knit the briar shawl, such a beautiful pattern. I do hope you sell it🥰

I have just stumbled across your podcast. It’s so refreshing to see the slow fashion and natural fibres you make and wear. The planet would be a lot happier if everyone had the same values and lifestyle. I will certainly be looking through your past podcasts. Thank you 🙏

Hello Lorna, Maria from Stitched in Sweden has made many tees out of merino knit. I am fairly certain that the shop she orders from is in Europe but can’t remember what it is called. You could try sending her a message to get the info. Love your naturally dyed yarns!

Hello, I enjoyed watching your video. My dream is to take a knitting trip to Copenhagen. I will be alone. Is it easy to get from one shop to another by public transport? Thank you very much.😊

Two ways I have used large rick-rack trim - one is on the edge of a collar, so the collar has the v's on the edge, and the other is near the hem of a skirt, as an entre deux trim between the lower part of the skirt and a separate 15cm band of skirt fabric at the bottom.

Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦! Beautiful podcast. What was the name of the sock pattern your partner knit you? I can’t quite get what you said. Thanks !

I’m so happy to have discovered your channel! Love your style and philosophy around slow making and living. I look forward to following you!

If you use patterns for your dresses and skirts, where do get them from? I love this style!
