You live in an idyllic place. I love listening to you, your voice is so calm and always makes me feel calm - when I’m really not!!! Thank you again. Denise
I am so grateful that you have a podcast that brings me peace! I just love Jack and you too:) You are so talented and I feel encouraged to start new creative projects I also feel the sense of creative freedom when my partner is away for a few days Thanks for a glimpse into your life Barb
Thanks for another lovely episode. How lovely that you are building up your handmade wardrobe in a very full way at the moment! I now wear hadnknitted socks every day, and it's a great feeling. :)
Katie, this was an absolute joy to watch and a pleasure to knit to. I've been toying with the idea of learning how to spin as well so I'll definitely be checking out the video with your lesson! 😊
Oh Katie, you are so prescious and wonderful. You remind me of a delicate butterfly who was kept in a cage for a long time. Now you are free and healing has occured. Fly butterfly, fly.
I had a similar experience when I first went to college to study art. This time it was the department head, that despite my A/B grades in my art classes advised me that I had no talent. Mind you, he hadn't actually taught any of my classes, but thought it was his job to discourage me, and he did. I didn't paint, draw, or do any crafts for 7 years because of his opinion (and changed my major to Religion). I've since learned better, and I'm glad you have also! And dear Katie too! I would so much rather encourage someone myself, because I believe everyone has some gift to share!
Love your podcast - I've been stressed the past couple of weeks and your beautiful scenery and music brings me such peace. Love your creative, warm, and simple spirit. It soothes me!!
Nice to see you laughing a lot this episode! Your finished objects are very nice, and I love your stamps. For the hat, I agree with Killtocraft that you might want to try to wash and block again. Ususally, the wool should be bouncing back. Especially with a piece that you spent so much time with, before ripping (in case that re-blocking does not do the job) I would probably opt with sewing in a soft broad elastic so that the hat rim has a little support. And thanks for showing the English version of that book, because I am a poor sewist, so I need some more explanations, Japanese won't do for me. Thanks, Katie, for this again very nice episode!
YAY! You are back! I love watching you from western Oregon, US. Love your videos, your work, and your sensibilities! Thank you for being just how you are!
Hi Katie, I just spent a whole forty minutes watching your podcast. Your calmness mesmerizes to the point where I can’t knit, I just watch and listen. And to hear you laugh was so great! Sewing does take up a lot of space, I’ll be doing a queen size quilt soon so everyone is on notice to eat before they come. Cheers,🇨🇦
I've avoided re-knitting ribbing by getting some tiny sewing elastic and threading it through the ribbing and tying it to size. I usually put about 3 or 4 rows in depending on the depth of the rib. Hi from Brisbane, Australia
Hi Katie, lovely to hear from you since Yarndale, and lovely to meet you, although briefly. Yes , the weather was terrible wasn't it. Your publications. "The Green Bean" about rock pools I loved, "More Than Yarn" also. Both very informative. I haven't attempted the "Scrufts" pattern yet though, probably the new year, Thank you for this podcast, as with all your others it is a beautiful podcast especially from 12:01 - 15:10. I have to say it touched my heart and brought me to tears. I love guitar music and this incorporated with your quiet soothing manner was peaceful and touching at the same time. Looking forward to the next one. With Love xx
what a wonderful podcast with your friend Jack and a peauceful music and such marvelous landscapes.I always enjoy watching you and Jack. Sorry for my english is not very good.Hi from France (Sud-Ouest : la Dordogne)
Wait, don't cut the hat yet! Re soak it, I have a bralette which is rib and stretches out every time I wear it but when I re soak it it bounces back again! It might be worth a try before you do it all again. x
I was going to suggest this also, but this time lay flat to dry, shaping the ribbing. In addition you may be able to find some thin elastic thread and baste it around the edge of the hat to help it hold its shape.
i know im asking the wrong place but does someone know a trick to get back into an instagram account?? I was dumb forgot my account password. I would appreciate any help you can give me!
@Wells Houston i really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and I'm trying it out atm. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
The scenery in this podcast was particularly beautiful with the autumn ferns and the ponies. Glad you had such a lovely break in Yorkshire which is my home county (even though I live in Cyprus) I'm a Yorkshire lass at heart. Don't every change, you are a beautiful person x
Always enjoy watching your videos! I love to see what you’re making and seeing Jack of course! Glad you enjoyed your holiday in Yorkshire- my husband and myself went there for a holiday in September! X
hi Katie watched your wonderful podcast from Adelaide Australia love Jack and your Dartmouth footage ,Have been lucky enough to visit there and so I feel I'm walking with you in your videos .Thankyou
Lovely podcast as always Katie! I am also going to be on my own this weekend and am so looking forward to a sewing weekend as well! Hope you have a fantastic time!!
Thank you, Katie, for another lovely episode! The outdoor footage is so nice, especially the horses. Are those wild horses? I am excited about all your new items in your store, the rubber stamps are such a great idea, - I love them. And the colorful forest creatures are just a must! Next paycheck I will be in your store!!! :) You must be very proud of your handmade wardrobe, I am always amazed by the things you make. Best wishes, stay warm! Greetings from Germany!
I have the very same issue when sewing-I take over at least two rooms ( one of which is basically my knitting room/spare room-with hardly any room for a guest 😉)...making a mess with threads; bits of fabric, notions... Soooo-I find it very challenging to sew when anyone else is around. In fact, I’m taking tomorrow off work to sew and make a mess in solitude ☺️
Hi Katie, I love your podcasts and find them very inspiring and relaxing to watch..I can't believe I'm back to knitting again after a break! So yes ... inspirational to say the least! Say hi to Jack for me 🍄
Thanks Katie for another lovely podcast. Amazing FO's especially the dress and shawl. Glad you had some time off. Thanks for the heads up about the dress book. And congrats on finishing a test knit on time :o) Margaret O'Brien
I love my Jack stamp, will have to try coloring his sweater in. I didn’t realize that ferns turned that lovely brownish/burgundy color. I have seen them that golden/brownish. The dapple grey horse has me thinking of a lovely white/grey sock yarn in my stash, so thinking they will be my next pair. Thanks for the inspiration. I will give a look at the HeyBrownBerry pattern.
Such a lovely episode! As usual ☺️ Thanks for sharing your amazing work! Just went to your Etsy shop and saw that the stamps with "handmade" seem to be sold out. Can we expect them to be restocked?
Can you not soak it and re-block the hat? Or at least the ribbing portion? That is so annoying! Most of my hats, unless they are “Headache tight” on the bands always either slip over my eyes or up onto my crown. I must have a bit of a pointy head and I know i have slippery hair.
You live in an idyllic place. I love listening to you, your voice is so calm and always makes me feel calm - when I’m really not!!! Thank you again. Denise
My admiration of you and your podcasts grows with each one that I watch! AND Jack is such a dear, sweet dog❤️
I am so grateful that you have a podcast that brings me peace!
I just love Jack and you too:)
You are so talented and I feel encouraged to start new creative projects
I also feel the sense of creative freedom when my partner is away for a few days

I love the poster of all the little animals crafting away - I especially loved the one popped up in the tree!

I love your new socks. Just queued Marc's new one. I love her sock patterns. Thanks for sharing. Also love you stamps.
My mother would hand sew thread eleatic through the ribbing of our hats because as kids we would always stretch them out.

I agree.....soak and block it again - the rib should spring back!
Very easy and relaxing podcast. Love your new stamps!
Another great episode. Always soothing and peaceful.
What a wonderful episode! You are are so worth the wait.
I really love the yarn you've choose for the sock test knit. I look forward to knitting this pattern, once it's released.
Thank you Katie for another delightful and inspiring podcast.
The scenery in this podcast was particularly beautiful with the autumn ferns and the ponies. Glad you had such a lovely break in Yorkshire which is my home county (even though I live in Cyprus) I'm a Yorkshire lass at heart. Don't every change, you are a beautiful person x
Such a beautiful comment to say dont ever change - my best friend has said this too me in the past and it sure can heal some wounds 💚
Great podcast, so varied and interesting. Love the footage outdoors such beautiful country
Ponies!!! And even horse poop - something I'm very familiar with! 😄 Thank you for sharing your world with us, Katie.

Thanks for a delightful episode. Always good when you’re back 🌿🍃💚
Loved! I knew, before you said, that they were socks!!!🌸🐾🐾🐾🐾🇨🇦
Lovely podcast as usual. Thank you.

I just love your podcast, and your shawl, I didn’t catch where you got it from.?🙏 I am writing you from Denmark 🇩🇰
I hope you have these in your shop again soon: Project Bag - British Sheep Breeds
Always a joy to watch :-)
Such a lovely episode! As usual ☺️ Thanks for sharing your amazing work!
Just went to your Etsy shop and saw that the stamps with "handmade" seem to be sold out. Can we expect them to be restocked?
I would try to soak the hat first. The stretch may come back when you make it wet and don't block it is as aggressively
I would dip the ribbing part of the hat in water, or simply sprinkle some water on that particular part. The ribbing should regain a better fit.
Couldnt you reblick the hat. Just try
Lovely podcast. As others have suggested, could you just try re-soaking the ribbing and either not block it at all or just block it gently?
A little shearing elastic.
