Is this sheep yarn?

Thank you very much for this review! 🎉

Would you say it is warm compared to other brands? Thank you😊

Thanks for sharing Laura! 💜 You're amazing.

Thank you so much for sharing Lizzie! 💜

Hey! I’ve bought this pattern seeing it was rated easy (I’ve knitted a top down raglan once before so thought I would be able to do an easy level pattern) but I’m so confused reading through the pattern! Any tips on how to make it make sense?

❤ You really are brave woman, Laura. I just have found your lovely podcast in this december and I enjoy of it so much. It is nice to see your family-life too. ❤️

Hi, do you wash your hats before selling it? I am wondering how should it be done

Great episode - thanks. I loved hearing about how Lizzie has progressed. Also, my daughter is a GP trainee (about to sit her final exam) and I totally get the whole ‘glad to be done with nights’ thing! The regular hours at GP practice are so much better than hospital shifts - Lizzie will get her life back!! 🥳🥳🤞🏽

Thank you so much for this lovely conversation! So sorry about the quality on my side🥺 The van life internet struggle is real….😅 I’d love to do a podcast in person some time😊

Wow this is really helpful thank you

Love a good long-tail method but lately I've been good at just coming up a bit short 🙈

Enjoy your podcasts! Hope you’ll be back soon!

Loving the podcast! Also love your shirt Tom :)

This is so smart. So common sense. It is complicated to deny and ignore symptoms of depression,stress and anxiety. When I admit to myself and others I am experiencing these things immediately things are less stressful and complicated. Not gone but improved

Ok. I know this was posted a year ago… I just looked up this channel I’ve been awake for hours with anxiety stress depression….I usually knit and walk everyday but just giving up on finding that joy. Even though life is moving on with Covid we have political factions wanting to install a dictatorial government, gun violence seems beyond control climate change is more and more a daily issue , inflation …I think I am in denial about depression

Hey, thanks for the video! How much yarn do you use for a hat? 1 or 2 balls?

The harness looks great! also your dog is adorable

Really enjoyed your look back. I have been binge watching your channel as I work diligently on a test knit for Tif Neilan, so I haven't been commenting along the way. I love your home, especially your kitchen - amazing layout, I love the stairs and how you've fit so much function under them. I love your cooking videos and how much you do from scratch in your small kitchen. Great to see someone on TH-cam showing cooking in a small kitchen, ours is small too. And, I am so impressed with your outdoor space. Do you get mosquitoes in your area? I love our outdoor space, but not for most of the summer due to mosquitoes (and humidity). Came here via hive knits.

Hi, I'm a beginner knitter - Great review, I just discovered this wool, as an alternative to Wool and the Gang. How many skeins of Drops Snow would I need to knit a standard twin blanket (66x90 inches)? My estimate comes to 25, let me know if this amount is in the right ball park. Thank you! P.S. gorgeous mustard sweater in the background with cool sleeve pattern 😊Cheers from Canada!

I had a break-down not so long ago, because I’m not as fit as I was a couple of years ago, and I’m getting maried this fall and I was just freaking out… And what triggered my break-down was the smell of the food at the restaurant near my place of work… When I realised that, I was ready to get help. But I didn’t yet. And today I watch this video and I think it’s exactly what I needed. I am ready to get help, and I will talk to my doctor. Thank you for sharing your story, I am sure you helped a lot of people. ❤️ Sorry for my bad english xoxo

Hi there, I've literally just cast on this pattern and it's ridiculously big. As a beginner knitter this is super disconcerting as I don't know how to scale down. I'm about to knit a medium but it's huge. It's no way a medium, and if the pattern is this loose isn't it a bad idea to use a stretchy cast on? I've tried a number of Wool and the gang patterns and they all knit enormous. I thought it was my knitting but now I'm wondering if it's just a ploy to sell more wool. Feeling a bit had, and I haven't even started. 😕😞

Thank you,thank you, thank you!

Laura you are truly inspirational, your podcast is amazing and I can totally relate to some of your struggles. Knitting is my therapy and currently is the only thing that helps my anxiety. You and others who create knitting podcasts are helping me to feel part of a community rather than the isolation that anxiety makes me feel. Be proud of what you are doing. Your journey and you as a person, are helping so many others. Thank you so much

Thank you for sharing. I can relate to so much of what you shared , and I have no doubt that there was so much more that was too private to share. Thanks again x

Hi Tom, this topic has really resounded with me. I have knitted on and off over the past 20 or so years, preferring to sew mostly. But a few years ago I started knitting more and I have really found it has helped my mental health. And then this past year I have had to navigate through the grief of losing my best friend - my mum - and knitting has been such a positive thing for me. I love that you are talking about this x

Bravo Laura. You are beautiful inside and out. Love your knitting passion.

Thanks for sharing your experience, keep crafting, it's so therapeutic and relaxing as u say, take care ☕😁

She is amazing!! Such a lovely lady! And her food is also devine!! 😍😍

Proud of you Laura ❤️ xx

I commend you for doing this video. I'm sure it wasn't easy for you. So glad you are in control of your life - you are worth it!!

Thank you so much for sharing.

Thank you for sharing your powerful story. I also find solace and connection through knitting, though mostly through online communties.

You are an amazing, knowledgeable, and creative woman. Thank you for sharing your journey!

Hello, Claudia, so glad to hear your story here. I love your podcast and have been missing you recently!Thank you so much for sharing your experience, it is so helpful to hear how others have also found a way through difficult times with knitting and with fellow knitters.

Laura you are such a brave lady putting this out there and I thank you for coming forward and helping dismiss the myths surrounding mental heath. You were eloquent, honest and sincere in your delivery and I really think this video will touch a lot of people. I love your knitting podcast and am really enjoying following your journey through your knitting, I feel exactly the same with my knitting as it gives me not only pleasure but a sense of escapism from day to day at times. Well done you, you should be very proud of yourself xxx

I'm looking to make a blanket with this wool so I was just wondering how does it wash? I've read it's feltable so I'm a bit scared it might get ruined the first time I wash it!

Your spirit, your joy, and your enthusiasm shine through in such a beautiful way! Thank you for this. Recovery is wonderful thing!

So awesome of you and your sharing… your thoughtful honestly will help many with similar issues. Thank you 😊 and I love the “pickle podcast”!

You are amazing, Laura. Thank you for sharing your story and helping others. Hugs to you 🤗.

Wishing you continued success in all of your journeys! ❤️

You are so amazing Lizzie! Well done for sharing your story

Your very brave, your amazing . I have found your video very helpful. I have a daughter who is really struggling with an eating disorder, and I'm so desperate to help her through it. I really enjoy your Penrose knits videos. Keep doing what your doing your lovely ❤️

Oh Laura, this really touched me. You are such a bright light, full of energy and vitality and a marvelously natural speaker/communicator. Your story will help many people I'm sure, keep shining! 💜

Thank you so much for sharing your story 💕 Your subscribers are so blessed that you decided to start your podcast and share yourself and your knitting. I'm glad to know that it is also so healing to you ❤️

Laura, your courage will hopefully help many people struggling with similar things. We all have insecurities and fears, no one is alone. Thank you so much for sharing and I’m so happy to hear that you are on the road to recovery! ❤️

Thank You Laura. That really hit home with me when your friend said she has only felt guilty once or twice about food...! I'll admit that I was amazed by that!

Thank you for your story Laura. Your shape or size isn’t the thing that I see, its your beautiful eyes and how intelligent and passionate you are about your craft. I really enjoy your podcasts, you’re so talented and you’re so entertaining!

Thank you so much for your honesty and bravery in telling your story. My mother tried putting me on diets by the time I was 13. It did a lot of damage to our relationship and caused me to be ashamed of how I looked until I got help in my 40s. Bless you for doing the work to find yourself and continuing to share your story.

I have a friend who has struggled with an eating disorder for most of her life. She will be 60 soon. As her friend, is there any advise you can give me to say the right things when she brings it up. I am always willing to listen without judgement and do not want to say anything that isn't helpful. Thank you for sharing your journey, Laura. I am so happy you have found your joy!
