    This has nothing to do with this episode but I just wanted to let you know that I’ve been using your button trick for using the middle and outside of a cake if yarn. I love it! Thanks so much!

    I would love to donate blood but I can only donate blood for myself because I am anemic my blood doesn't hold iron the way it should and I've had cancer also so the only thing I'm allowed to donate is my own blood for myself like before surgery or something if I donate 3 pints of blood it's recommended

    It was so fun to catch up with your last two podcasts. I wasn't able to watch your Vlogmas episodes this year as we are packing to move!! I had to laugh when you said your name and the link to "Stranger Things!"

    I LOVE your idea of only selfish knitting in December!! I was madly finishing up gift knitting--and I thought I started early!! I made 3 Musselburgh hats, but I had to redo one 3 times as it was too large. I still have one to rip out and redo as it also was too big. :( I loved seeing pictures from Sam's wedding--gorgeous!

    Happy belated New Year! Love all the pieces you shared- very inspiring. The colours in your granny wrap almost look like Christmas bulbs, fun that you shared the crocheting. So happy to have found your channel ❤🧶

    It's nice you were gifted one, but $50 is a little steep. I got an Amazon knock off for less than half, and I doubt there is that much difference. I agree it helps tremendously with dark yarn! But I hope no one gets FOMO and thinks these are essential to knitting.

    Happy New Year! Loved the shrug you were wearing -- and your crochet reminded me I have a crochet project I need to get back to.. I was delighted to learn you're a stitcher. I confess I've fallen down a fairly deep cross-stitch rabbit hole. Yes, I've done other embroidery -- including silk ribbon for crazy quilting -- but I keep coming back to cross-stitch. HOD is a favourite designer, but I too shy away from using dark fabrics. Have fun with your classes! 🙂

    Hi from Sydney in Australia Nancy. I started watching your podcast late last year and now I'm hooked and have back tracked to Episode 1. I'm quickly making my way through all of them. It's a fabulous past time! We have classic cars too and I love going to car shows, chatting to people and knitting all day. Knit City Montreal looked amazing, so I'd really love to go to Canada again and experience it. Thanks for your fabulous podcast. You are so natural; It's like chatting to a close friend!

    Happy new year, Nancy! I would be tempted to make a toe from that cast on edge, too seen at the cuff 👀. Just a thought x I also have some knockers but i couldn't get them to the knockers uk hq. It was a bit odd, but i might try again. Gavin and Stacey is sooo good. So fun. Cross stitich is relatively new to me. I am just finishing a hedgehog from a kit and am loving it❤ The next thing, Nancy, will be emboidering flowers on your jumpers 😘 much love from Shetland xxx

    What's interesting about the advent socks is how differently people see it. You disliked it, I loved it. It was more fun for me to see So-and-so has (these) colors showing up, and (someone else) is in the (those colors). So much different! So much fun! Beautiful work on your socks.

    Thank you for my lunchtime entertainment, which has run over into me making lemon bergamot marmalade. I made small apple tarts with a marzipan topping earlier, but they are rather delicate, so perhaps not the final version yet. Sx

    Soooo good to see your first podcast of 2025, Nancy. I have also been a needle worker in the past, preferring embroidery to cross stitch. Now days it is just knitting. I'm hoping to not be tempted by new yarn or patterns & work from my yarn & pattern stash.

    Happy New Year Nancy! I am looking forward to a year full of socks...For the Finchley graft: I am no expert but when I did it for socks, you turn the sock inside out to work from that side, so how that works on something you can't turn back to RSO I am not sure! Will be interesting to hear what you decide/think on that. Love that Isabell Kraemer wrap/shrug , it's gorgeous..still sitting in my wishlist for "some day". The granny wrap turned out great: fun colors. And the cross stitch!!! That knitters sampler...I may need to convince my friend to make one for me (how much does she like me? 🤣). Stay warm!
