Aww, thank you so much 😊 Norway really is such a stunning place once you get passed the stormy winter weather. So glad you liked the outfits; the pink Moby sweater. Haha, I should've filmed when I gave the cat her liquid crack but I'll have to keep that ace for another video. As for Rauma Garn, I hope you manage to find an international dealer and try it at least once! It's been a family favourite for a long time. Good luck and happy holidays Kathryn! 🎄

Oh, thank you so much😊So glad to hear from you, Sharon - your comments always make me smile. Happy to hear you’re doing well and back to your yoga-what an amazing recovery🎉 I’m thrilled you love the color combo too - blood orange and pink daisies was actually next on my list - so funky. I kind of regret not going with that because the difference between these two is not that visible - it sort of leaves a raspberry -like colour. Wishing you a Merry Christmas as well! 🎄Take care ✨

@@caffeinated_granny I LOVE raspberry ! 😝🥰

I believe the official name is _"liquid snack"_ but I'm just calling them out for what it is.Even our sassy senior cat will do anything for this stuff and will make sure she gets every last drop out of the package! tried and tested on all of our family cats with the same result 😆

Thanks so much, Filipa 🫶So glad you enjoyed this one-it was a lot of fun to make! Can't wait to see your mittens finished, the color combo looked awesome

Oh nooo 😞 they're too popular... Hopefully they stock up soon

Thank you Christina! I've never tried KOS but always heard great things, thank you for tipping me I will definitely have a look at the colour ways. I'm hunting for a burgundy colour to knit over Xmas but lets see. Have you tried Las Tijeras Magicas? They're Spanish and ship Sandnes garn to Portugal

Thank you so much for pointing that out! I just added it to the Ravelry now! I really wanted to be size-inclusive with this one but lacked testers for 2XL and up..

Yes, that's right

Thank you so much for your kind words and rec, Kathryn! Will check her out, her channel name sounds promising. Take care ❤️

Thank you! It's brushed alpaca silk in sweet orchid 34

How did it go? I've always wanted to try but I've been deterred by the price of oil painting 😬

Tysm - Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you, Agnes 🌻So nice to hear you like the podcast. Lucky you living in Budapest, it's such a beautiful city. I plan to come back every year - especially now that I've seen online how Christmas looks there! You should go to the yarn shop if you love colour, the staff were really lovely. It's called 1001fonal.

@ thank you 💕. The Christmas markets in Budapest are amazing and a lot of fun 😊. If you are planning to visit the city again, it would be lovely to have a coffee together. I am also a caffeine addict and love the coffee shops in Budapest 😊.

@@Agnes_KR Perfect! Then you can show me all the good spots 🥰My fave so far is Massolit - such a nice spot to sit enjoy a cuppa and the scenery and knit

@@caffeinated_granny it sounds amazing, looking forward to it 😊.

thank you, Melissa 🥰 so glad you like it too!

Thank you so much for your kind words, Sharon! So happy you loved the vlog and the cameos of my spoiled dog child. He's one of my greatest blessings in life. Hope the Hilly Hood is coming along and that your leg is getting better. Take care <3

Stella, you need it in your life! It's a very addicting pattern so it flies by. The noodles were surprisingly tasty - definitely one of my more successful whatever's in the fridge meals. Thank you for watching <3

Oh, almost like we're knitting together! I hope you're enjoying the sherpa vest xx

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and subscribed! Budapest really is just something else, isn’t it? They just need more yarn stores lol. I’ll definitely be sharing more about the pattern once it's done testing.

Thank you, makes me so glad to hear! I left the sign up link in the description! Will be sending out the instructions probably tomorrow or sometimes this weekend

tysm darling 🥰 glad you enjoyed

thank you Kathryn!

So exciting - yay!! Thank you, I'm working on the final touches now

Thank you so much lovely 🥰 You are always so nice. Really enjoying your videos!

Ha....not trolled I believe. I have heard this several times also from different knitting sources, and apparently it works well. I haven't as yet knit with mohair so haven't tried an unravel. 😝Love to know how you go when and if you do Granny. So I have broken my leg and had surgery 😏 so lying now on the couch with leg elevated. It makes knitting harder, especially since my belly gets in the way. Anyhow....happily knitting on Anne Ventzel's Hilly Hood in chocolate for my Boston adult son. Their temps have plummeted, so I had better knit quickly. She pairs two yarns - my lace I have chosen is "Zealana Air Lace" - cashmere, possum and silk.....he is ONE lucky son!! (other nz merino) . You have cheered me up with your podcast thanks Granny. Thanks for showing us Budapest...looks magical, and discussing your yarn shopping so honestly. When we want something, we really WANT it don't we . 🥰🥰🙏

@@sharonmerton9812 I'm so sorry to hear about your leg! That sounds tough, but it’s impressive you're still managing to knit through it. The Hilly Hood in chocolate sounds perfect for Boston’s chilly weather-your son is indeed one lucky guy to have you knitting such a luxurious piece for him! How are you finding the Zealana Air Lace to work with? That blend of cashmere, possum, and silk must feel incredible 😍Sharon, I'm telling you know if you are happy with your knitting experience so far without trying mohair don't try it lol or at least only on a piece you know how to knit very well so there's no chance of unravelling! And I’m thrilled the podcast brought a little cheer your way-Budapest really was magical to explore. Take it easy, and happy knitting (as much as you can with that leg) 💕

@@caffeinated_granny Took a photo but can't load haha. Yes it feels luxurious but diluted by the merino. I am used to knitting garments so knitting an accessory is a treat....feel as though I am getting somewhere fast this time. SO many different experiences available to us with our craft isn't there. Thanks for the mohair advice. No need to go there so probably won't now 🙏 Keep well Granny - so appreciate your knitting experience shared. ❣

@@sharonmerton9812 Accessories are such a nice change of pace, aren’t they? It sounds like you’re really enjoying the process. Thank you for sharing your journey with me. Happy knitting, and take care!

You are so welcome, thank you! Very happy you enjoyed the video while knitting, that was my goal yay

Thank you so much! I'm glad you like the sweater color 😊 The Italian bind-off can be a bit tricky at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's easy

I'm so glad you enjoyed knitting along with me! It really means a lot that you found the process personal and relaxing-sharing each step was a lot of fun. And yay, another fan of the Italian bind-off ✨️👏 Also happy you enjoyed the bird clips, my fave little dude was definitely Toto's support chicken 🐔

Thank you Kathryn. Hope you are well

Thank you for the lovely words dear Sharon, you always bring so much positivity to the comment section🫶 Hope you enjoyed this new format. Happy knitting!

@@caffeinated_granny Loved your new format thanks 🌻

The Bessie Scarf by Gavriella Treminio

​@@QueensYarnBoutique Oh that's cute! Looks like a great stash buster as well - thank you for bringing it to my radar

Oh Sarah, you are too kind! I'd take your love bombing and reality checks any day 🥰😆I know I'm in denial but the Norwegian in me is still half expecting fall in mid-August - I'm not sure how long I'd be able to handle 32 degrees Celsius in my limited perception of fall lol. I can also relate to the hot cocoa on a white sweater comment.. You know I just took a 14-hour flight across the pond and the first thing I did when I sat down on that plane was to spill coffee all over my white Sabai top 👍

Haha, of course it was you. Always full of excellent tips and tricks 🥰Unfortunately Traça Trapos closed in Lisbon this winter but at least it's very easy to find online if you plan a bit ahead

@@caffeinated_granny oh really? They closed at the end of the winter then because I was there last winter. But they have an other shop in Caldas da Raina and ship very quickly

@@emmapiontek8447 Yes, if I remember correctly they had a big sale at the end of March because they were closing shop.. A real bummer for the knitting community here...

Oh, that sounds interesting! Hoping to catch a glimpse of that on your instagram. Hope it turns out well 💕

Thank you, Valentina. Always so nice 🫶

thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoy the videos 💕

Which colour are you going for this time? I saw someone knitting it up in a light purple and was immediately smitten

@@caffeinated_granny Drops Extra Fine Mustard yellow 💛

​@@QueensYarnBoutiqueOhh that's going to suit you so well 👏 Excited to see it on your channel

tysm Filipa! I will check these out for sure. Uff, I was so sad when that yarn store closed down, the one close to alcantara right? Thankfully there's still a lot in Porto

oh and btw have you heard/tried the imagine yarn? I hear they're based in Portugal. I just saw a beautiful sweater knitted in one of their merino yarns today. Super curious to try

I like the off white, cuz the giraffe pattern is easier to identify for me, but the lavender is pretty too!

That's blouse looks so cute! Which colour are you going for? Are you going for a single strand or double? Oh yes - way too productive. My body was not ready. It's almost been a week and I'm still verging on comatose whenever I go to sleep

@@caffeinated_granny I'm still thinking about what color to chose, I'm debatig if it should be lilac or a dark dusty pink either way I think I will hold it double. Hopefully you feel back to normal pretty soon!

So glad you like it! It's my own pattern, I'm currently working on a second sample and writing the pattern. I'll be posting it in a couple of weeks:) stay tuned

Thank you Victoria! That sounds like it would make a super cosy hat. I've never heard of red fox sheep yarn, I just looked it up and it did not disappoint 🐑❤️

And that is exactly why I love watching your podcast. Your voice is so soothing 🤍

@@ceydadagistan Oh thank you, you're very nice

Totally agree. Love your gentle approach. Just chill. 🥰🙏 Looking forward to seeing your sweater. Lovely shaping already. thanks for teaching us.

Yes!! That is so true - thank you for adding this great tip to the comment section. To add to that, I definitely tend to choose lighter colours when I do textured knits like cables etc - it just shows off better.

🥰🙏
