As with many viewers, I was led here by Denise at Earthtones Girl. I enjoyed the introduction to your world. I enjoy a variety of crafts as well and look forward to hearing more about yours. Nice first video!
Hello and thank you so much. I've been overwhelmed at the amount of encouragement and support over the last few days. it's taking me a little longer than expected to get through all the gorgeous comments and make sure I don't miss responding to anyone. I really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment.
Lovely podcast, great inspiration and I’d love a tour of your bus! Thanks for sharing all your makes and plans for projects 😊. I would buy your organic skin care !
Mine too! and I wasn't sure if folks would like to hear about both but I really just can't seperate them because everything I do and live are interconnected and will ebb and flow depending on what's going on in my world. Thank you so much for your comment. I really appreciate it.
Lovely podcast. Thank you for introducing me to the idea of reclaimed yarn. I am a small on-grid homesteader in the southeastern US with bigger dreams for more of an off grid life. I am interested in seeing what your off-grid life looks like. Take care.
Hi Jennifer, thanks so much for stopping by. There's been quite a bit of interest in how I reclaim yarn and process it so I'm actually going to be doing a video on it (hopefully this week). I'm so excited that you have dreams to live off grid. I hope that this little space will, over time be a source of information and inspiration for you :)
Hi Sarah. Absolutely loved your bus conversion. And again you and a absolute joy to watch, very natural and bubbly. I thought for your scrumptious wool colour, Watermelon Crush might be a very fitting name. Can't wait for your 3rd podcast. Enjoy your week, look forward your next lot of beautiful creations you come up with next. Xx😊😘
Hello! Thank you so much for watching. I'm so grateful and thank you also for your lovely compliments. LOVE watermelon and actually that's a great colour comparison too. Looking forward to seeing you in the next one!
Melbourne girl here……Love your concept and naturalness. So glad to see you putting reclaimed materials out there and supporting local . Denise is one of my favourite podcasters (must get back her now) . Look forward to following your journey and hope your move up north is filled with much happiness. All the best 😊
Hey! Thank you so much for stopping by! I really appreciate your comment. I have been absolutely blown away by Denise's shout out and all of the lovely comments since. Hope you're staying safe down there!
Hello Sarah! TambraAknits (Ravelry) here from Bellbrook, OH USA So happy to meet you. I enjoyed your first podcast and look forward to seeing you again soon.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate you taking the time to comment. It's been a lot of fun sharing my projects and I'm really glad you enjoyed watching
Welcome to the podcast community! I love your makes and all that you have shared! I look forward to many more episodes on your journey here! I would love a tour of your property , bus and your creative makes! Take care!
Thank you so much! *rushes off to check out your channel ;) I really appreciate you taking the time to comment and I will definitely be showing the bus in the next episode
Yup..... Absolutely charming and delightful. Catching upon your first podcast, it is a PLEASURE to meet you, Sarah Taylor ! I shall look forward to October's visit indeed. What a marvelous adventure you have embarked upon ! Just Wonderful ! Thank you for choosing to share yourself to us all and your exciting chapters ahead ( ^ ; * ) marcia
Hello Marcia, Thank you so much for your lovely comment and thank you for being here. It's an absolute pleasure to share parts of my life with the crafting/youtube community and I'm thrilled that you've enjoyed it so far. Really appreciate you taking the time to comment as well.
Hello! One of my oldest and dearest friends is in Montreal. I can't wait to be able to visit Canada. It's been on my list for a very long time! I hope you're safe and well there and thank you so much for your lovely comment.
Sarah, what a lovely podcast. The yarn you are using for the shawl is beautiful. I love the light and dark of the tonal colorway. You did a great job looking at the camera and not watching yourself. I look forward to seeing more of the property and your home. I live in southeast Tennessee and really enjoy seeing other areas of the world.
Hello Rebecca! Thank you so much for your comment. It does take a bit to make sure you're looking in the 'right' spot. Mostly I just tried to forget it was there ha! I've just filmed a wee tour of my bus and am getting set up to record the next episode so I look forward to sharing that with you. Tennessee is not somewhere I've been while visiting the US but I too love seeing different areas of the world and getting disorientated in other cultures :) Happy to oblige
Can’t believe this is your first podcast.....you’re a natural......and I’m looking forward to following you along. By the way......you don’t need your colours done.......you’ve got them spot on!
@@jennydawson1281 It's a real blessing for sure. I'm very very grateful I get to spend my days like this. For a long time, it felt like an impossible dream I was working towards but every single day I got closer and closer
Hello! Thank you so much. I'm really enjoying being part of the podcasting world even though I have no idea what I'm doing other than just being me with a camera. going to check yours out now :)
Yay this looks like a good one. I am addicted to knitting podcast. I have learned so much and how to get great information. I never knew all these hints existed. So fun.
Me too! I've been binge watching knitting podcasts. They're such a great place to learn and also just feel relaxed listening to someone talk about what they love to make. Thanks so much for your comment! I really appreciate it.
Love yur first episode. Intreged by your reclaiming yarn project. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it. Yay for NFA and MCC yarns... I love both of those dyers.
@@TheMakersCorner I love her work. I highly recommend her bamboo sock yarn. I've always wanted some of her Save the bees colourway but they are all beautiful. Apologies for bad typing - one fingered with baby in arms. 🤣
So happy I came across your podcast and it’s great seeing an Aussie podcast and talking about yarn I can easily source . Miss click clacks yarn is just the best . So soft and squishy
Oh yay I'm so glad you're here. Thank you so much for taking the time to comment and yes Miss Click Clack's yarn is yummy. I also highly recommend you check out Maker Moran too. Just gorgeous colourways from NSW. We have some very clever artist here
Thanks! I'm very excited about recording more. It's been thunderstorms and rain for the last few days so hopefully, I shall get some clearer weather this weekend and get that all up for you :)
I'm so glad you're here. Thank you so much for your lovely comment. I'm getting ready to film today so I hope to have the next episode up this evening :)
I thoroughly enjoyed your video! I love that you are living sustainably. I also liked the variety of crafts that you shared. I am really looking forward to watching your next video.😊
Hi Valerie, thank you. I figured that I just couldn't silo my life into knitting only. Each of my passions inform the others and so talking about knitting and not talking about my life off grid feels very strange. I'm glad people seem to be enjoying the wholeness of it all. Very glad to have you here and than you so much for taking the time to comment. I really appreciate it!
@@TheMakersCorner Thank you so much for responding to my comment. My daughter is pursuing her Master’s degree in Global Management and I am going to let her know about your channel. I think that she would enjoy hearing about your sustainable journey too! Have a wonderful day!😊
@@valerieehrman3720 And of course! I'm doing my best to get through them all. It was easy in the beginning but there are so many every day so I try to chip away and make sure I respond to everyone :)
Hello from Dallas, Texas, US. I totally enjoyed your podcast and look forward to your future podcasts. I will be very interested in your bus/home renovations and learning more about your side of the world. Thank you!
Whoop whoop! Texas in the house! I visited Texas in 2019. Wow you have some BIG roads out there! I called them 'sky roads' and was absolutely terrified ha ha ha. I went to NASA and Austin and Houston. Best trip. So glad you enjoyed my podcast. Thank you so much for your comment :)
So enjoyed your first podcast. Good to hear you are originally from Scotland. I am in the UK, much nearer to Wales. I look forward to all your crafty projects and life in Australia.
It feels like a lifetime ago now and I've lived outside of the UK longer than in it but it's weird how I still feel 'from' there you know? My husband is originally from Wales. I can't wait until we can travel and I can show him Scotland and he can show me Wales. I hope you're safe and well where you are. And I so appreciate your comment, thank you for watching.
I had no idea until you commented. She's so generous. What a gift. Really lovely to have you here. You're very welcome and thank you so much for your comment.
So glad that I saw Denise talking about your podcast. Such joy to find out something in the begining and be able to see all things in time, see the changes, the growing! About your color strugle, don't mind! With these beautiful and honest eyes, you can use any color of your choice! Love to see this episode. Much love from Brazil
You are very kind. Thank you so much for your comment. I really appreciate it and am so glad you enjoyed my episode. I look forward to making more for you :)
Hello Sarah, you appeared on my youtube page and I am so glad that I clicked on this first episode. I thought you did wonderfully well for a first video. It was so interesting - thank you. I gave it the thumbs up and have subscribed. Looking forward to finding more videos, as I am joining the party a bit late here. At least Covid is receeding into the past now! Best wishes from Lottie in Suffolk, England.
Hello Lottie and welcome! I was a little 'late' to the party myself here on TH-cam but it's a lovely place and the makers community is gorgeous. I'm so glad you found your way here and thank you so much for taking the time to comment :) I'm very glad Covid is receding too.
I love the mix of things that interest you & look forward to seeing your bus. Thanks to Denise for the introduction. Your scarf/cowl is gorgeous & the shawl is a beauty too. You were right to switch to heathery colors & the fabric is really good.
Hello! thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment. I really appreciate it and have been overwhelmed at the impact Denise has had on my channel. Apologies for the delay in responding but I wasn't expecting so many comments. I'm so pleased that I switched the colours and it is an art and skill in and of itself, choosing the right kinds of yarn and colours for patterns. I'm not always going to get it right first time but I'm very glad I trusted my instincts
Hi Sarah! Have so enjoyed watching you first podcast. Beautiful job! So glad Denise mentioned you on her Earthtonesgirl podcast! Excited to see more about your renovation bus. Loved your first shawl….so pretty! Love knitting and it was from Earthtonesgirl where I learned to knit my first ever socks! Excited to see more of your projects and learn about the cream you have made! Love that kind of thing!
Hey Michelle, thank you so much for your lovely comment. I'm so glad you found my little channel. I've been blown away at Denise's generosity in her shoutout and the amount of folks who've found their way here. I'm really excited about sharing my world with you :)
Thank you so much and I apologise for the delay in responding. I've been a bit overwhelmed at the response to my channel and on top of that, TH-cam isn't showing me every comment in the notifications so I'm having to scroll through to make sure I don't miss any (like yours). Thank you again for being here and taking the time to comment. I really appreciate it!
What a fantastic first episode, it is so lovely to ‘meet’ you Sarah, you are a natural in front of the camera! I look forward to seeing more of your makes and hearing about your homesteading adventures. We are about to embark on building on 5 acres in the Adelaide Hills so I look forward to being inspired by you! If you’re looking for some good Australian stockists of needles, my favourite online stores that are small businesses are Fiberific who I believe are based in QLD, and YarnTrader who is here in SA. I hope the quarantine went well and look forward to seeing more of your content.
Hey! Thank you so much for your encouragement and recommendations. I really want to buy local where I can, especially to support folks while this pandemic is having such an impact. Very excited about your 5 acres! I haven't made it to Adelaide yet but it's on my list once the bus is ready!
Hi! and congratulations for this first episode. I really enjoyed watching a postcast not only about knitting. Sorry about my bad english, i am french living in Portugal :). Havea nice evening and can't wait to know more about your handmade skincare and next craft.
Hello Emma. Oh my goodness, your English is AMAZING! Please don't ever apologise again :) I'm so thrilled you found my podcast and enjoyed the episode. I lived in Paris for 6 months in my 20s and it was magnificent. I did not speak French at all, I was very scared to speak but I did understand more than I could speak. I wish I'd taken advantage of living in Europe more but I was young and foolish as they say. Now here in Australia it's hard to find others to practice with so I am very much a beginner French speaker still. Looking forward to sharing my next episode with you.
Hi Sarah; you did a fantastic job on your first episode; really enjoyed all of your content. I'm primarily a knitter addicted to hand-dyed yarn: i pick up crochet form time to time and have dabbled in lots of other things. Also very interested in tiny houses, sustainable living, organics, conservation, gardening and renewable energy. Looking forward to following you on this new journey.
We have so much in common! I'm so pleased you found my podcast and I can't wait to share more with you as I go :) Thank you so much for taking the time to comment
Loved your first episode! I think you did a great job and I love to knit and sew so I'm super excited to hear about both as well as your other interests! I'm from New Mexico.
Ah ha ha ha I do the same all the time! Thank you so much for your lovely comment. I'm excited about sharing more. Planning to sit down tomorrow to record
Thank you so much! You've no idea how much I appreciate all the lovely comments. It's been truly unexpected and a lovely surprise. I'm really glad you enjoyed it and I look forward to recording my next one this week
I'm thrilled to have found you today!! I'm a bit obsessed with bus/nomad life and I'm a huge knitter also trying to live more sustainably. You are a breath of fresh air!!!
So nice to see someone that's into all kind of craft en has taken up knitting just recently. Love to see all your future makes and follow your journey in life.
Hey! Thank you so much. I'm thrilled you enjoyed it and I really feel that I'm a maker at heart. Even the renovations are creative for me so I'm glad to finally be sharing it. Great to have you following along.
Hi Sarah, loved your first podcast. Live in Sydney , looking forward to you next podcast. Something to look forward to during this very long lockdown. Would love to buy one of your project bags, they look gorgeous.
Hey! Thank you so much for watching. I really appreciate you taking the time to comment and I will definitely keep you informed of my shop opening. I think it will likely be the end of September.
Great episode! Immediately subscribed. It feels like most of the knitting/making podcasts on youtube are bored stay-at-home mommies with basic content or "90% plug-my-or-my-friends-product / 10% knitting podcast". Yours feels very refreshing in this landscape! You're so brave for starting this.
Congratulations on Episode 1. Thoroughly enjoyed watching it from Our retirement home in the California Gold Country. Looking forward to seeing future episodes. Salam wa sa’aadah
Hi Sarah, greetings from central Illinois USA. I was excited to see you reclaim yarn . I used to do it a lot when my kids were young and I couldn’t afford wool yarn. You are a girl after my own heart, I love tiny spaces and sewing also. Best of luck with your building projects , I’m looking forward to seeing them take shape. Isn’t it fun to connect with someone on the other side of the world. I don’t understand hotel lockdown, that can be pretty expensive, and terribly boring , can you explain. Lovely to meet you, Carolyn
Hello! Oooh I didn't manage to make it to Illinois last time I was over the in the US. I hope you're safe and well there. My mum and Gran used to reclaim yarn when I was a kid for the very same reason. Also not to waste. I remember mum frogging back a man's jumper and making my brother and I a jumper each for school from the yarn. It's amazing how resourceful they were and what's quite fashionable now. I'm sure I complained at the time for having hand made things... It's been incredible connecting with people from all over the world. We really all do have way more in common than not and I love that we have these free platforms to use. So exciting. Hotel quarantine is expensive. It's $3k for the 2 weeks and it's something mandated by our governments for anyone travelling interstate from a 'hotspot' / place with Covid outbreaks. It's there to make sure that if you do have Covid, that you're not in community during your infectious period. Home quarantine was free of course but is only allowed in some circumstances.
I was so excited to see you gathering reclaimed yarn. I do this myself, both for knitting and weaving. When you were showing your thrift store finds in fabric, I wondered if you got knitted goods to take apart and use as well, and you do! I love the wool you bought for your coats and will enjoy seeing you make them. I always tested my patterns in some cheaper fabric first, before tailoring a coat. It is a slow but satisfying process. Looking forward to the tour of your van.
Hi Catherine, thank you so much! I love reclaiming things. My bus conversion was also a reclaiming project with around 80% reclaimed or recycled. So glad you enjoyed it and welcome!
Eden! That is the perfect green for your beautiful complexion! Thanks for this podcast, I’ve only just found you. We also live off grid in Tasmania. We have quite a few more fires. Love your style.
Thank you so much. Ooooh yay fellow off gridder! Lovely to meet you and so glad you found your way here. Really appreciate you taking the time to comment. It made my day
I also was tuned into Denise of Earthtones Girl and decide to stop in and happy that I did. I enjoy conversions of buses, van and look forward to seeing yours. You are the second person that brought and use reclaim yarn. Will you be discussing the process of reclaimed yarn, I am interested, maybe get started with this. I will be back.
Hello Maxi thank you so much for taking the time to stop by and comment. I really really appreciate it. There seems to be quite a bit of interest in the reclaiming of yarn so I have planned some time to actually make a seperate video this week on that process as well as one showing how I scour and clean. my yarn. I should hopefully have that one up by the end of the week along with my 3rd podcast episode so stay tuned! :)
I just happened upon your podcast and I love it! It is a combination of so many of my favorite things. I admire you for embarking on your homesteading journey and I can't wait to see your bus conversion. I dream of living tiny one day, though at 46 I wonder if it is ever going to happen. I would have to have a separate building or trailer for all of my spinning wheels, wool, looms, tools, yarn, etc. because those are my passion and I can't be separated from them. I'm going to figure it out one day...maybe have a small off-grid homestead with a she shed and some fiber animals and a small converted work trailer for me and the hubby to travel in. I look forward to your future episodes!
I do a short bus tour at the very beginning of episode 2 which will give you a good idea of where I'm up to. My entire build was done around my dining table / sewing space so I totally understand the need for our crafts. I will have a seperate room / shipping container on the homestead for my workshop. Absolutely essential. Living intentionally and even minimalism isn't about an amount of stuff as so often is thought But actually about the things that really make up one's joy and life. I'm almost 42 so please don't give up or think it's not possible! Thank you so much for your comment. I hope you enjoy my other episodes (#3 coming later this week) and so glad you're here :)
Hi Sarah, Hello from Scotland. You just popped up on my TH-cam suggestions, and I’m so glad you did. I was knitting with some Miss Click Clack Merri Creek Sock yarn while I was watching you. I’ve been a member of her Ravelry Group for around 6 years now. She is a wonder with the dye pots! I even flew from Adelaide to Melbourne a few years ago, for the day, just to attend a Craft Event and a “Clackette” get together. (I have lived sporadically between Adelaide and Scotland over the years - long story) I don’t sew but I still enjoy seeing beautiful fabrics and hearing what you intend to make with them. I’m amazed at what you found in thrift stores. I’m looking forward to seeing your winter coats in those gorgeous wool/cashmere fabrics. The aran cardigan was also a great find. It looks like you are leading an interesting life up there and I look forward to seeing more of your bus, and the surrounding country. And… I thought I had detected a tiny trace of a scottish accent here and there, and then you confirmed it. All the best. 🏴🥰
Oh yay! Hello fellow Scot and thank you so much for your comment. I'm so jealous that you got to do a real in person meetup at a Clackette! I think, even without Covid they were rare. Yes the accent never really leaves you but I've lived on 4 continents now and outside of the UK longer than in it so it's a bit made up these days... Thank you so much for watching and I look forward to more :)
Hi Sarah! Donna Henderson is my daughter and she suggested this vlog. You and I are kindred spirits as I too love making things although knitting isn't a skill I have successfully mastered. I love paper crafts and my family has been receiving homemade cards for all occasions...whether they want them or not! Good luck on your channel - I just know it will be a great success.
Hi Joanne! Oh that was so lovely of Donna to recommend my channel. Hopefully you feel inspired to give knitting another go. I am definitely finding it one of the most relaxing and rewarding hobbies. Thank you so much for your support, I really appreciate it. It's always a little nerve wrecking trying something new like a TH-cam channel
@@TheMakersCorner You're most welcome, Sarah. No, knitting and I are no longer friends. I have decided to stop doing things that bring me stress. I have finally admitted that I cannot do patterns. My creative outlet lately has been multimedia tapestry (freeform embroidery and various fabric bits and pieces...no pattern involved!)
@@joannepagendam8797 Oh wow, the tapestry sounds so interesting. I definitely need a pattern. Freeform makes me so anxious. Isn't it amazing how many ways we can be creative! I'd love to see your work. Do you have a channel / IG?
Hello Sarah, I found your Podcast this morning and I really like your plans to build up an online Shop with your face-care and projektbags. I started knitting after 30 years again and finished my first pullover. I had a lot of fun with it. I write you from Germany and looking forward to your next podcasts.
Hello Eva! I was born in Germany. I would love to go back and see it as an adult as I left at only 18 months old. What part do you live in? So please you're here and thank you for your lovely comment
@@TheMakersCorner Good morning Sarah, I am living in Münster in the „Bundesland“ Nordrhein-Westfalen. The last 9 years I worked in Bavaria in Coburg but now I am back in Münster where I was born. I like your bus and your 2 dogs. My husband an I have a little dog. „Conor“ comes vom Ibiza out of an animal shelter. Have a wonderful day Sarah!
HI from Canada!,! JUST WATCHED Denise from earthtone girl,,,,and heard about you!! You are a natural,,,!!! Have subscribed,,,and watched hinges UR first podcast,,,and will now watch UR second one!!look forward to it,,, Great content ,Sarah!!!! Elaine🏡🏠🏡🏠🏡
Hey Elaine, thank you so much! I've been blown away by Denise's generosity. It was such a shock to hear my name as I was listening today pottering around the house. What a beautiful surprise and thank you so much for being here. I really welcome you. I'm so pleased you enjoyed my episode and I look forward to making more!
I am thrilled to have found your podcast. We could be kindred spirits as we share many of the same interests of sewing and knitting and wanting to have less of a negative impact on the earth by reusing and repurposing items. Thank you for being brave to share and I look forward to being a knitting sewing friend from Canada. Love from 🇨🇦
Oh yay! I'm so glad you found it too. Hello in Canada! Leaving a low impact is so important to me and I love getting to share that value through my craft as well. Very good to have you here x
Hi, Thank you so much. I really appreciate you taking the time to comment. It's been a wonderful week of connecting with others here. Stay tuned because there will be heaps of renovation stuff :)
Wonderful first podcast! Hello from the East coast of Canada. I also did the same to an Aran sweater I got at a thrift store and it does give you a lot of yarn to play with to make something else.
Hello! And welcome. Thank you so much. Really your comment is very generous. I'm so excited to share my fibre arts and crafting journey. It's been a lot of fun frogging it back. Tomorrow I adventure into natural dyeing which I will share on my next episode :)
@@TheMakersCorner That will be awesome to watch! I've done acid dyeing but always wanted to try natural. Did I hear you right that you were from Scotland? I use to live in Dundee, Scotland and England for over eleven Years before moving back to Canada.
@@sueanngardiner6161 Yes, from Edinburgh... sort of. I was born in Germany and started school in Hong Kong but I've lived out of the UK longer than in it now. My mum's partner is from Dundee so I know it well.
@@sueanngardiner6161 I feel the same about moving to the country here in Australia. Much calmer. I can't wait to visit Canada one day. I have half a dozen friends there and jut haven't made it yet
You look like an autumn colour way to me, similar skin tone to me! Chambray, mustard, ivory, magenta all would suit you so well. Loved finding you and happily following along on your journey
Hi there! thank you so much for following along and for the lovely comment. Really appreciate it. The colour thing is so tricky. I've never worn mustard but I do love magenta. *Rushes off to look at autumns... :)
Hello! And yay for fellow sock trier! Denise is the best hey? I really love her podcast. Thank you so much for you comment. I'm really pleased you enjoy it and glad you're here
Hello Sarah, I am from the Netherlands and found your video on my homepage at youtube so I watched the first episode and loved it, so nice you have so much hobby’s thats what I love too so yess happy to have watched your vlog and I am going to follow you on your youtube journey. The things you have showed are beautiful, and I am so curieus how the coat will be , the red fabric is so so gorgeous.

Hello Ellen! Thank you so much for you lovely comment. I'm thrilled you enjoyed it and I'm very grateful for the comment. Looking forward to having you here on the adventure! I'm very curious about the coat too. So much to learn :)
Loved your podcast and enthusiasm for life and crafts.Found you through Mindful Knitting from Sydney. I love knitting but my eyes are not good enough for sewing now. Thankyou for your efforts and sharing them with us.Regards from Tasmania. .
Hi Sandra! So lovely to have you here. I'm thrilled you found your way to this little corner of the internet. It was so lovely that Jane gave me that mention. We definitely share the same passion for mindful making and I just love her podcast. Thank you so much for taking the time to comment and watch. I really appreciate it and please keep commenting. It's always so lovely to connect and chat about our shared interests x
As others have said, I came to you from Earthtonesgirl's recommendation, and you ARE a natural ☺️ I too am a maker, mostly knitting and sewing, as well as dabbling a bit with natural body care products. I am excited to see your bus, property, and the Airbnb as it progresses. Great job, Sarah. BTW, I live rurally in Colorado, USA.
Hello! Thank you so much for coming by to comment. I've been blown away by the generosity of Denise and her shoutout and everyone that's come over to say hi. It's just a wonderful community to be part of and invest in. I'm really grateful you're here and so glad you enjoyed it. Oooh rural Colorado must be absolutely stunning!
Congratulations on your first podcast, Sarah! I totally enjoyed your content and I’m quite in awe of your fabric and yarn stash! You are going to be a busy woman😊
Hi! Thank you so much for your comment, you've no idea how great it is to wake up and read it. I feel like this is a safe space to share one's *ahem extensive stash... :) Thank you for being here, I really appreciate it. Hope you're safe and well
So please you're here Carol and thank you for your comment, I really appreciate it. I LOVE Cat's podcast. I think I miss the Celtic voices and am very nostalgic for autumn winter knits for sure! Great to have you here!
Thank you for your podcast and congratulations on episode number 1!! I’m from Suffolk UK daughter lives in Sydney son has just come back to Uk from Melbourne Looking forward to seeing your journey I too am having trouble with my colours so can relate let my hair go to it’s natural white and it’s thrown my colours!!!
Hey Sarah. Enjoyed the podcast, a refreshing change to the usual. Loving the Shallows Shawl - off down the Etsy rabbit hole to find the pattern for myself 😊. Looking forward to watching your next episode Sam
Hi, thank you so much. I really appreciate your comment and so glad you enjoyed it. I'm really looking forward to recording again. I've made the very rookie error not to have multiple projects cast on and so am now impatiently waiting for ALL THE THINGS to arrive in the post :) Enjoy your rabbit hole!
Hello! Thank you so much for your comment and I'm so pleased that you're here. I really appreciate it. Hope you're well and I'd love to hear what you're knitting or making at the minute ;)
Hi Sarah. I'm happy to tell you what I'm knitting! I'm just on the last few hours of knitting the Perun vest for my husband, as well as the Starfish cardigan for my sweet daughter. Also, here in Northern Alberta, Canada, spring and gardening are calling to me now :) I think it may be a pair of socks on the needles next.... for me :)
@@lizsannachan Oooh yes it will be starting to thaw where you are. I imagine Spring is a very exciting time when you've had a big winter. It's much milder here and I try and take as much advantage of the sweater weather as possible but it's only really between 6pm and 9am and then the temperatures are very mild indeed.
Hello from Nome Alaska, USA. I enjoyed watching this podcast and look forward to seeing your projects as they progress and are completed. I do believe that I was more creative in the days where I was a single mother on a very limited budget. I sewed and knitted a lot from the op shop finds. Now that I am very much older and better off financially, I can buy anything I want, but am less creative, I think. I like how you intentionally buy fabric from thrift stores and are recycling yarn in that sweater. I look forward to more podcasts from you and the tour of your bus.
Ahhh I LOVE your accent. I think it's one of my favourites. Mine's a bit made up these days. I've lived on 4 continents and out of the UK longer than in it and I've been in Australia for 15 years now. Grabbed a coffee and I'm off to watch yours! Yay :) Thank you so much for your lovely comment and congrats on your channel too
As with many viewers, I was led here by Denise at Earthtones Girl. I enjoyed the introduction to your world. I enjoy a variety of crafts as well and look forward to hearing more about yours. Nice first video!
Hello and thank you so much. I've been overwhelmed at the amount of encouragement and support over the last few days. it's taking me a little longer than expected to get through all the gorgeous comments and make sure I don't miss responding to anyone. I really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment.
Lovely podcast, great inspiration and I’d love a tour of your bus! Thanks for sharing all your makes and plans for projects 😊. I would buy your organic skin care !
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your comment and I'm so glad you found your way to my little channel
My two favorite Utube topics, off grid tiny homes and knitting! What a joy!
Mine too! and I wasn't sure if folks would like to hear about both but I really just can't seperate them because everything I do and live are interconnected and will ebb and flow depending on what's going on in my world. Thank you so much for your comment. I really appreciate it.
Lovely podcast. Thank you for introducing me to the idea of reclaimed yarn. I am a small on-grid homesteader in the southeastern US with bigger dreams for more of an off grid life. I am interested in seeing what your off-grid life looks like. Take care.
Hi Jennifer, thanks so much for stopping by. There's been quite a bit of interest in how I reclaim yarn and process it so I'm actually going to be doing a video on it (hopefully this week). I'm so excited that you have dreams to live off grid. I hope that this little space will, over time be a source of information and inspiration for you :)
Hi Sarah. Absolutely loved your bus conversion. And again you and a absolute joy to watch, very natural and bubbly. I thought for your scrumptious wool colour, Watermelon Crush might be a very fitting name. Can't wait for your 3rd podcast. Enjoy your week, look forward your next lot of beautiful creations you come up with next. Xx😊😘
Hello! Thank you so much for watching. I'm so grateful and thank you also for your lovely compliments. LOVE watermelon and actually that's a great colour comparison too. Looking forward to seeing you in the next one!
Will Definately be there watching your next episode. Xx
Lovely to 'meet' you Sarah. Congratulations on your first podcast 🙂
Lovely to meet you too! And thank you :)
Melbourne girl here……Love your concept and naturalness. So glad to see you putting reclaimed materials out there and supporting local .
Denise is one of my favourite podcasters (must get back her now) .
Look forward to following your journey and hope your move up north is filled with much happiness.
All the best 😊
Hey! Thank you so much for stopping by! I really appreciate your comment. I have been absolutely blown away by Denise's shout out and all of the lovely comments since. Hope you're staying safe down there!

Hello ! You’re doing a great job ! As a knitter I appreciate your intelligent content.

What a marvelous adventure you have embarked upon ! Just Wonderful ! Thank you for choosing to share yourself to us all and your exciting chapters ahead ( ^ ; * ) marcia
Hello Marcia, Thank you so much for your lovely comment and thank you for being here. It's an absolute pleasure to share parts of my life with the crafting/youtube community and I'm thrilled that you've enjoyed it so far. Really appreciate you taking the time to comment as well.
Hello from Montréal, Canada! Can’t believe that this is your first experience. You’re doing great. Can’t wait to see all that you make.
Hello! One of my oldest and dearest friends is in Montreal. I can't wait to be able to visit Canada. It's been on my list for a very long time! I hope you're safe and well there and thank you so much for your lovely comment.
Sarah, what a lovely podcast. The yarn you are using for the shawl is beautiful. I love the light and dark of the tonal colorway. You did a great job looking at the camera and not watching yourself. I look forward to seeing more of the property and your home. I live in southeast Tennessee and really enjoy seeing other areas of the world.
Hello Rebecca! Thank you so much for your comment. It does take a bit to make sure you're looking in the 'right' spot. Mostly I just tried to forget it was there ha! I've just filmed a wee tour of my bus and am getting set up to record the next episode so I look forward to sharing that with you. Tennessee is not somewhere I've been while visiting the US but I too love seeing different areas of the world and getting disorientated in other cultures :) Happy to oblige
Sarah, your are just a delight❤️. Looking forward to episode 2 & more to come.
Hello Peggy. Thank you so much for your comment. It really is lovely to know that you enjoyed the episode. I'm very much enjoying making them.
Can’t believe this is your first podcast.....you’re a natural......and I’m looking forward to following you along. By the way......you don’t need your colours done.......you’ve got them spot on!
Thank you so so much! What a lovely comment. I really appreciate it.
Thanks a lot, now I want to live off grid and knit and sew all day! ;)
That's how I feel whenever I receive an email from you about your beautiful horses. I almost run out every time to get one :)
That would be me live off grid and knit all day
@@jennydawson1281 It's a real blessing for sure. I'm very very grateful I get to spend my days like this. For a long time, it felt like an impossible dream I was working towards but every single day I got closer and closer
Hi enjoyed your podcast and looking forward to seeing all your creations.
Thank you Jean. Lovely to have you here and many thanks for your comment. I look forward to sharing more with you
Lovely to meet you, looking forward to your shop opening.
Lovely to meet you too and thank you :)
Hello from Ireland! Welcome to the podcasting world 😀 I’ve enjoyed your episode & look forward to more. Susan
Hello! Thank you so much. I'm really enjoying being part of the podcasting world even though I have no idea what I'm doing other than just being me with a camera. going to check yours out now :)
@@TheMakersCorner Ahhh, thanks 😊
Yay this looks like a good one. I am addicted to knitting podcast. I have learned so much and how to get great information. I never knew all these hints existed. So fun.
Me too! I've been binge watching knitting podcasts. They're such a great place to learn and also just feel relaxed listening to someone talk about what they love to make. Thanks so much for your comment! I really appreciate it.
Love yur first episode. Intreged by your reclaiming yarn project. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it. Yay for NFA and MCC yarns... I love both of those dyers.
Thank you so much. I'm excited to see what it turns into as well. They're really such beautiful dyers. And NFA uses heavy metal free dyes too
@@TheMakersCorner I love her work. I highly recommend her bamboo sock yarn. I've always wanted some of her Save the bees colourway but they are all beautiful. Apologies for bad typing - one fingered with baby in arms. 🤣
So happy I came across your podcast and it’s great seeing an Aussie podcast and talking about yarn I can easily source . Miss click clacks yarn is just the best . So soft and squishy
Oh yay I'm so glad you're here. Thank you so much for taking the time to comment and yes Miss Click Clack's yarn is yummy. I also highly recommend you check out Maker Moran too. Just gorgeous colourways from NSW. We have some very clever artist here
I have really enjoyed your first podcast can’t wait for the next.
Thank you so much. Busy getting ready to film today! :)
Well done on your first podcast Sarah it was very interesting. Looking forward to seeing all your upcoming projects.
Thank you so much Carol. I really appreciate you taking the time to comment.
Looking forward to more episodes!!
Thanks! I'm very excited about recording more. It's been thunderstorms and rain for the last few days so hopefully, I shall get some clearer weather this weekend and get that all up for you :)
Loved your podcast. Looking forward to more
Thank you so much Donna
So glad to have found your podcast! Enjoyed it and looking forward to more
I'm so glad you're here. Thank you so much for your lovely comment. I'm getting ready to film today so I hope to have the next episode up this evening :)
Loved your podcast, nice that it shows your different things. I also like to watch Knitting Traditions. Looking forward to your next one. Bye, Ali
Thank you so much for your comment and the podcast recommendation. I'm obsessed!
I thoroughly enjoyed your video! I love that you are living sustainably. I also liked the variety of crafts that you shared. I am really looking forward to watching your next video.😊
Hi Valerie, thank you. I figured that I just couldn't silo my life into knitting only. Each of my passions inform the others and so talking about knitting and not talking about my life off grid feels very strange. I'm glad people seem to be enjoying the wholeness of it all. Very glad to have you here and than you so much for taking the time to comment. I really appreciate it!
@@TheMakersCorner Thank you so much for responding to my comment. My daughter is pursuing her Master’s degree in Global Management and I am going to let her know about your channel. I think that she would enjoy hearing about your sustainable journey too! Have a wonderful day!😊
@@valerieehrman3720 Oh wow how wonderful to working on her Masters in this topic!
@@valerieehrman3720 And of course! I'm doing my best to get through them all. It was easy in the beginning but there are so many every day so I try to chip away and make sure I respond to everyone :)
Great first video! I'm looking forward to your next and following along on your making journey. 😊
Lovely to have you here. Really appreciate your comment, thank you
very enjoyable listening to your first podcast. I love all your ideas and hoping for more episodes. Congratulations! Greetings from London, Maria
Hi, I'm thrilled you enjoyed it. I hope you're well and safe in London.
Hello from Dallas, Texas, US. I totally enjoyed your podcast and look forward to your future podcasts. I will be very interested in your bus/home renovations and learning more about your side of the world. Thank you!
Whoop whoop! Texas in the house! I visited Texas in 2019. Wow you have some BIG roads out there! I called them 'sky roads' and was absolutely terrified ha ha ha.
I went to NASA and Austin and Houston. Best trip. So glad you enjoyed my podcast. Thank you so much for your comment :)
So enjoyed your first podcast. Good to hear you are originally from Scotland. I am in the UK, much nearer to Wales. I look forward to all your crafty projects and life in Australia.
It feels like a lifetime ago now and I've lived outside of the UK longer than in it but it's weird how I still feel 'from' there you know? My husband is originally from Wales. I can't wait until we can travel and I can show him Scotland and he can show me Wales. I hope you're safe and well where you are. And I so appreciate your comment, thank you for watching.
Hi Sarah, found you through Denise, will be back, for more. Very engaging.
I had no idea until you commented. She's so generous. What a gift. Really lovely to have you here. You're very welcome and thank you so much for your comment.
I really enjoyed your podcast. Can't wait for the next. I would use the red fabric for the more vintage coat pattern.
Thank you and yes, I think I agree with you about the red fabric.
So glad that I saw Denise talking about your podcast. Such joy to find out something in the begining and be able to see all things in time, see the changes, the growing!
About your color strugle, don't mind! With these beautiful and honest eyes, you can use any color of your choice! Love to see this episode.
Much love from Brazil
You are very kind. Thank you so much for your comment. I really appreciate it and am so glad you enjoyed my episode. I look forward to making more for you :)
Hello Sarah, you appeared on my youtube page and I am so glad that I clicked on this first episode. I thought you did wonderfully well for a first video. It was so interesting - thank you. I gave it the thumbs up and have subscribed. Looking forward to finding more videos, as I am joining the party a bit late here. At least Covid is receeding into the past now! Best wishes from Lottie in Suffolk, England.
Hello Lottie and welcome! I was a little 'late' to the party myself here on TH-cam but it's a lovely place and the makers community is gorgeous. I'm so glad you found your way here and thank you so much for taking the time to comment :) I'm very glad Covid is receding too.
Thanks for making episode 1. Looking forward to the next one.
Thank you for watching! I really appreciate it
I love the mix of things that interest you & look forward to seeing your bus. Thanks to Denise for the introduction. Your scarf/cowl is gorgeous & the shawl is a beauty too. You were right to switch to heathery colors & the fabric is really good.
Hello! thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment. I really appreciate it and have been overwhelmed at the impact Denise has had on my channel. Apologies for the delay in responding but I wasn't expecting so many comments. I'm so pleased that I switched the colours and it is an art and skill in and of itself, choosing the right kinds of yarn and colours for patterns. I'm not always going to get it right first time but I'm very glad I trusted my instincts
Hi Sarah! Have so enjoyed watching you first podcast. Beautiful job! So glad Denise mentioned you on her Earthtonesgirl podcast! Excited to see more about your renovation bus. Loved your first shawl….so pretty! Love knitting and it was from Earthtonesgirl where I learned to knit my first ever socks! Excited to see more of your projects and learn about the cream you have made! Love that kind of thing!
Hey Michelle, thank you so much for your lovely comment. I'm so glad you found my little channel. I've been blown away at Denise's generosity in her shoutout and the amount of folks who've found their way here. I'm really excited about sharing my world with you :)
Such a wonderful first podcast, I look forward to watching more episodes.
Thank you so much and I apologise for the delay in responding. I've been a bit overwhelmed at the response to my channel and on top of that, TH-cam isn't showing me every comment in the notifications so I'm having to scroll through to make sure I don't miss any (like yours). Thank you again for being here and taking the time to comment. I really appreciate it!
What a fantastic first episode, it is so lovely to ‘meet’ you Sarah, you are a natural in front of the camera! I look forward to seeing more of your makes and hearing about your homesteading adventures. We are about to embark on building on 5 acres in the Adelaide Hills so I look forward to being inspired by you! If you’re looking for some good Australian stockists of needles, my favourite online stores that are small businesses are Fiberific who I believe are based in QLD, and YarnTrader who is here in SA. I hope the quarantine went well and look forward to seeing more of your content.
Hey! Thank you so much for your encouragement and recommendations. I really want to buy local where I can, especially to support folks while this pandemic is having such an impact. Very excited about your 5 acres! I haven't made it to Adelaide yet but it's on my list once the bus is ready!
Hi! and congratulations for this first episode. I really enjoyed watching a postcast not only about knitting. Sorry about my bad english, i am french living in Portugal :). Havea nice evening and can't wait to know more about your handmade skincare and next craft.
Hello Emma. Oh my goodness, your English is AMAZING! Please don't ever apologise again :) I'm so thrilled you found my podcast and enjoyed the episode. I lived in Paris for 6 months in my 20s and it was magnificent. I did not speak French at all, I was very scared to speak but I did understand more than I could speak. I wish I'd taken advantage of living in Europe more but I was young and foolish as they say. Now here in Australia it's hard to find others to practice with so I am very much a beginner French speaker still. Looking forward to sharing my next episode with you.
Hi Sarah; you did a fantastic job on your first episode; really enjoyed all of your content. I'm primarily a knitter addicted to hand-dyed yarn: i pick up crochet form time to time and have dabbled in lots of other things. Also very interested in tiny houses, sustainable living, organics, conservation, gardening and renewable energy. Looking forward to following you on this new journey.
We have so much in common! I'm so pleased you found my podcast and I can't wait to share more with you as I go :) Thank you so much for taking the time to comment
Love it Sarah....beautiful podcast...loving your show...have a great day from ireland
Hello! Thank you so much. It's really lovely to know you enjoyed it. Thank you for taking the time to comment. Hope you're well and safe over there
Loved your first episode! I think you did a great job and I love to knit and sew so I'm super excited to hear about both as well as your other interests! I'm from New Mexico.
Oh yay! thank you so much for your comment. I'm very excited about sharing my interests with others here :)
Hi Sarah,
I enjoyed your podcast
Thank you so much. I'm very grateful for your comment
What a wonderful and interesting first podcast! I am here for all of it!! Hee hee I said “ bless you “ when you sneezed like you could hear me!😂
Ah ha ha ha I do the same all the time! Thank you so much for your lovely comment. I'm excited about sharing more. Planning to sit down tomorrow to record
Just love your first episode🤩
Thank you so much! You've no idea how much I appreciate all the lovely comments. It's been truly unexpected and a lovely surprise. I'm really glad you enjoyed it and I look forward to recording my next one this week
@@TheMakersCorner well done. It was so refreshing and authentic. Just love it 💙
I'm thrilled to have found you today!! I'm a bit obsessed with bus/nomad life and I'm a huge knitter also trying to live more sustainably. You are a breath of fresh air!!!
Hello! Oh my goodness your comment has made my day. I was so pleased you found me.over on IG too x
Ohh that red and black wool and cashmere fabric ❤️
It's so beautiful and soft. I'm very excited about working with it
So nice to see someone that's into all kind of craft en has taken up knitting just recently. Love to see all your future makes and follow your journey in life.
Hey! Thank you so much. I'm thrilled you enjoyed it and I really feel that I'm a maker at heart. Even the renovations are creative for me so I'm glad to finally be sharing it. Great to have you following along.
Hi Sarah, loved your first podcast. Live in Sydney , looking forward to you next podcast. Something to look forward to during this very long lockdown. Would love to buy one of your project bags, they look gorgeous.
Hey! Thank you so much for watching. I really appreciate you taking the time to comment and I will definitely keep you informed of my shop opening. I think it will likely be the end of September.
Amazing podcast. Looking forward to seeing more of your adventures.
Thank you! Really glad you enjoyed it and I'm definitely looking forward to sharing more :)
Well done Sarah, you did so well. My husband and I have toyed with the idea of a conversion, we just need to land. xx
Thank you so much. I highly recommend a bus ;) I'll give you a tour of mine on the next episode
Gosh! What great stitching for just starting up. So happy to see you sharing here Sarah!
Thank you. It is something I have really fallen in love with and I'm so excited to be on TH-cam
Love your podcast. I'm looking forward to future podcasts.
Thank you so much! I shall be sitting down this week to record the next episode
Great episode! Immediately subscribed. It feels like most of the knitting/making podcasts on youtube are bored stay-at-home mommies with basic content or "90% plug-my-or-my-friends-product / 10% knitting podcast". Yours feels very refreshing in this landscape! You're so brave for starting this.
Hey Nadia, so glad to hear you enjoyed it and thank you for subscribing! I so appreciate it
I really enjoyed your podcast!!! Looking forward to many more. ☺️
Thank you so much! I've been blown away by people's generosity and taking the time to comment. It's so appreciated
Congratulations on Episode 1. Thoroughly enjoyed watching it from Our retirement home in the California Gold Country. Looking forward to seeing future episodes. Salam wa sa’aadah
Thank you so much Linda! I really appreciate your comment and encouragement. I'm so glad you're here :)
Hi Sarah, really enjoyed your podcast, looking forward to more. Xx
Hey Julie, thank you so so much. I'm thrilled you enjoyed it :)
Great first podcast. Can’t wait to see the next one!
Thank you so much. I can't wait to record it. I'm hoping to do so in the next week :)
Hi Sarah, greetings from central Illinois USA. I was excited to see you reclaim yarn . I used to do it a lot when my kids were young and I couldn’t afford wool yarn. You are a girl after my own heart, I love tiny spaces and sewing also. Best of luck with your building projects , I’m looking forward to seeing them take shape. Isn’t it fun to connect with someone on the other side of the world.
I don’t understand hotel lockdown, that can be pretty expensive, and terribly boring , can you explain.
Lovely to meet you,
Carolyn
Hello! Oooh I didn't manage to make it to Illinois last time I was over the in the US. I hope you're safe and well there. My mum and Gran used to reclaim yarn when I was a kid for the very same reason. Also not to waste. I remember mum frogging back a man's jumper and making my brother and I a jumper each for school from the yarn. It's amazing how resourceful they were and what's quite fashionable now. I'm sure I complained at the time for having hand made things...
It's been incredible connecting with people from all over the world. We really all do have way more in common than not and I love that we have these free platforms to use. So exciting.
Hotel quarantine is expensive. It's $3k for the 2 weeks and it's something mandated by our governments for anyone travelling interstate from a 'hotspot' / place with Covid outbreaks. It's there to make sure that if you do have Covid, that you're not in community during your infectious period. Home quarantine was free of course but is only allowed in some circumstances.
I was so excited to see you gathering reclaimed yarn. I do this myself, both for knitting and weaving. When you were showing your thrift store finds in fabric, I wondered if you got knitted goods to take apart and use as well, and you do! I love the wool you bought for your coats and will enjoy seeing you make them. I always tested my patterns in some cheaper fabric first, before tailoring a coat. It is a slow but satisfying process. Looking forward to the tour of your van.
Hi Catherine, thank you so much! I love reclaiming things. My bus conversion was also a reclaiming project with around 80% reclaimed or recycled. So glad you enjoyed it and welcome!
Eden! That is the perfect green for your beautiful complexion! Thanks for this podcast, I’ve only just found you. We also live off grid in Tasmania. We have quite a few more fires. Love your style.
Thank you so much. Ooooh yay fellow off gridder! Lovely to meet you and so glad you found your way here. Really appreciate you taking the time to comment. It made my day
I also was tuned into Denise of Earthtones Girl and decide to stop in and happy that I did. I enjoy conversions of buses, van and look forward to seeing yours. You are the second person that brought and use reclaim yarn. Will you be discussing the process of reclaimed yarn, I am interested, maybe get started with this.
I will be back.
Hello Maxi thank you so much for taking the time to stop by and comment. I really really appreciate it. There seems to be quite a bit of interest in the reclaiming of yarn so I have planned some time to actually make a seperate video this week on that process as well as one showing how I scour and clean. my yarn. I should hopefully have that one up by the end of the week along with my 3rd podcast episode so stay tuned! :)
I just happened upon your podcast and I love it! It is a combination of so many of my favorite things. I admire you for embarking on your homesteading journey and I can't wait to see your bus conversion. I dream of living tiny one day, though at 46 I wonder if it is ever going to happen. I would have to have a separate building or trailer for all of my spinning wheels, wool, looms, tools, yarn, etc. because those are my passion and I can't be separated from them. I'm going to figure it out one day...maybe have a small off-grid homestead with a she shed and some fiber animals and a small converted work trailer for me and the hubby to travel in. I look forward to your future episodes!
I do a short bus tour at the very beginning of episode 2 which will give you a good idea of where I'm up to. My entire build was done around my dining table / sewing space so I totally understand the need for our crafts. I will have a seperate room / shipping container on the homestead for my workshop. Absolutely essential. Living intentionally and even minimalism isn't about an amount of stuff as so often is thought But actually about the things that really make up one's joy and life. I'm almost 42 so please don't give up or think it's not possible! Thank you so much for your comment. I hope you enjoy my other episodes (#3 coming later this week) and so glad you're here :)
Hi Sarah, Hello from Scotland. You just popped up on my TH-cam suggestions, and I’m so glad you did. I was knitting with some Miss Click Clack Merri Creek Sock yarn while I was watching you. I’ve been a member of her Ravelry Group for around 6 years now. She is a wonder with the dye pots! I even flew from Adelaide to Melbourne a few years ago, for the day, just to attend a Craft Event and a “Clackette” get together. (I have lived sporadically between Adelaide and Scotland over the years - long story) I don’t sew but I still enjoy seeing beautiful fabrics and hearing what you intend to make with them. I’m amazed at what you found in thrift stores. I’m looking forward to seeing your winter coats in those gorgeous wool/cashmere fabrics. The aran cardigan was also a great find. It looks like you are leading an interesting life up there and I look forward to seeing more of your bus, and the surrounding country. And… I thought I had detected a tiny trace of a scottish accent here and there, and then you confirmed it. All the best. 🏴🥰
Oh yay! Hello fellow Scot and thank you so much for your comment. I'm so jealous that you got to do a real in person meetup at a Clackette! I think, even without Covid they were rare. Yes the accent never really leaves you but I've lived on 4 continents now and outside of the UK longer than in it so it's a bit made up these days... Thank you so much for watching and I look forward to more :)
So happy to have stumbled upon your podcast. Really enjoyed this first episode and look forward to future episodes.
Hey Lisa, thank you so much for your lovely comment. I really appreciate it and so glad you found your way here too.
Enjoyed this! Look forward to seeing more💓
Thank you os much Allison. I sure look forward to sharing more :)
Hi Sarah! Donna Henderson is my daughter and she suggested this vlog. You and I are kindred spirits as I too love making things although knitting isn't a skill I have successfully mastered. I love paper crafts and my family has been receiving homemade cards for all occasions...whether they want them or not! Good luck on your channel - I just know it will be a great success.
Hi Joanne! Oh that was so lovely of Donna to recommend my channel. Hopefully you feel inspired to give knitting another go. I am definitely finding it one of the most relaxing and rewarding hobbies. Thank you so much for your support, I really appreciate it. It's always a little nerve wrecking trying something new like a TH-cam channel
@@TheMakersCorner You're most welcome, Sarah. No, knitting and I are no longer friends. I have decided to stop doing things that bring me stress. I have finally admitted that I cannot do patterns. My creative outlet lately has been multimedia tapestry (freeform embroidery and various fabric bits and pieces...no pattern involved!)
@@joannepagendam8797 Oh wow, the tapestry sounds so interesting. I definitely need a pattern. Freeform makes me so anxious. Isn't it amazing how many ways we can be creative! I'd love to see your work. Do you have a channel / IG?
Hello Sarah, I found your Podcast this morning and I really like your plans to build up an online Shop with your face-care and projektbags. I started knitting after 30 years again and finished my first pullover. I had a lot of fun with it. I write you from Germany and looking forward to your next podcasts.
Hello Eva! I was born in Germany. I would love to go back and see it as an adult as I left at only 18 months old. What part do you live in? So please you're here and thank you for your lovely comment
@@TheMakersCorner Good morning Sarah, I am living in Münster in the „Bundesland“ Nordrhein-Westfalen. The last 9 years I worked in Bavaria in Coburg but now I am back in Münster where I was born. I like your bus and your 2 dogs. My husband an I have a little dog. „Conor“ comes vom Ibiza out of an animal shelter. Have a wonderful day Sarah!
@@eva-mariaforde2288 Oh wow! I was born in Munster. How amazing is that?!

Hey Elaine, thank you so much! I've been blown away by Denise's generosity. It was such a shock to hear my name as I was listening today pottering around the house. What a beautiful surprise and thank you so much for being here. I really welcome you. I'm so pleased you enjoyed my episode and I look forward to making more!
Hello Sarah! Great job, like your delivery!
Hello Maggi, thank you so much. I really appreciate that :)
I am thrilled to have found your podcast. We could be kindred spirits as we share many of the same interests of sewing and knitting and wanting to have less of a negative impact on the earth by reusing and repurposing items. Thank you for being brave to share and I look forward to being a knitting sewing friend from Canada. Love from 🇨🇦
Oh yay! I'm so glad you found it too. Hello in Canada! Leaving a low impact is so important to me and I love getting to share that value through my craft as well. Very good to have you here x
Lovely podcast, thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much for the lovely comment. I'm so pleased you enjoyed it :)
You’re a joy to watch and listen to. Looking forward to following along with you and can’t wait to see those coats 😍 - - - Tash
Thank you so much! I'm so grateful for your comment. Really so appreciative
@@TheMakersCorner also can’t wait to see the vintage caravan, that’s on my list to do as well
@@tashshaunhills I'll definitely be doing a renovation series on that for sure!
Great job!! Keep going! You have so much to share! xo
Thank you for your encouragement!
Delightful podcast. Very interested in your off grid living…and renovation of the bus!
Hi, Thank you so much. I really appreciate you taking the time to comment. It's been a wonderful week of connecting with others here. Stay tuned because there will be heaps of renovation stuff :)
Wonderful first podcast! Hello from the East coast of Canada. I also did the same to an Aran sweater I got at a thrift store and it does give you a lot of yarn to play with to make something else.
Hello! And welcome. Thank you so much. Really your comment is very generous. I'm so excited to share my fibre arts and crafting journey. It's been a lot of fun frogging it back. Tomorrow I adventure into natural dyeing which I will share on my next episode :)
@@TheMakersCorner That will be awesome to watch! I've done acid dyeing but always wanted to try natural. Did I hear you right that you were from Scotland? I use to live in Dundee, Scotland and England for over eleven Years before moving back to Canada.
@@sueanngardiner6161 Yes, from Edinburgh... sort of. I was born in Germany and started school in Hong Kong but I've lived out of the UK longer than in it now. My mum's partner is from Dundee so I know it well.
@@TheMakersCorner lol such a small world! I loved Dundee but I do love the simplicity of Newfoundland, Canada compared to the UK.
@@sueanngardiner6161 I feel the same about moving to the country here in Australia. Much calmer. I can't wait to visit Canada one day. I have half a dozen friends there and jut haven't made it yet
You look like an autumn colour way to me, similar skin tone to me! Chambray, mustard, ivory, magenta all would suit you so well. Loved finding you and happily following along on your journey
Hi there! thank you so much for following along and for the lovely comment. Really appreciate it. The colour thing is so tricky. I've never worn mustard but I do love magenta. *Rushes off to look at autumns... :)

As others have said, I came to you from Earthtonesgirl's recommendation, and you ARE a natural ☺️ I too am a maker, mostly knitting and sewing, as well as dabbling a bit with natural body care products. I am excited to see your bus, property, and the Airbnb as it progresses. Great job, Sarah. BTW, I live rurally in Colorado, USA.

Hey Sarah. Enjoyed the podcast, a refreshing change to the usual. Loving the Shallows Shawl - off down the Etsy rabbit hole to find the pattern for myself 😊. Looking forward to watching your next episode Sam
Hi, thank you so much. I really appreciate your comment and so glad you enjoyed it. I'm really looking forward to recording again. I've made the very rookie error not to have multiple projects cast on and so am now impatiently waiting for ALL THE THINGS to arrive in the post :) Enjoy your rabbit hole!
Hi Sarah. What a lovely podcast. I subscribed to Jane at Mindful Knitting today, who mentioned you, and now I subscribed to you too :)
Hello! Thank you so much for your comment and I'm so pleased that you're here. I really appreciate it. Hope you're well and I'd love to hear what you're knitting or making at the minute ;)
Hi Sarah. I'm happy to tell you what I'm knitting! I'm just on the last few hours of knitting the Perun vest for my husband, as well as the Starfish cardigan for my sweet daughter. Also, here in Northern Alberta, Canada, spring and gardening are calling to me now :) I think it may be a pair of socks on the needles next.... for me :)
@@lizsannachan Nice! We're getting ready for winter here and I'm prepping my very first sweater
@@lizsannachan Oooh yes it will be starting to thaw where you are. I imagine Spring is a very exciting time when you've had a big winter. It's much milder here and I try and take as much advantage of the sweater weather as possible but it's only really between 6pm and 9am and then the temperatures are very mild indeed.
Hello from Nome Alaska, USA. I enjoyed watching this podcast and look forward to seeing your projects as they progress and are completed. I do believe that I was more creative in the days where I was a single mother on a very limited budget. I sewed and knitted a lot from the op shop finds. Now that I am very much older and better off financially, I can buy anything I want, but am less creative, I think. I like how you intentionally buy fabric from thrift stores and are recycling yarn in that sweater. I look forward to more podcasts from you and the tour of your bus.
Hello Patt. Lovely to have you here. I'm so glad you enjoyed my podcast. I look forward to sharing more with you :)
Fab first podcast - well done! I knew there was a wee accent in there 🤣 Looking forward to your next one already!
Ahhh I LOVE your accent. I think it's one of my favourites. Mine's a bit made up these days. I've lived on 4 continents and out of the UK longer than in it and I've been in Australia for 15 years now. Grabbed a coffee and I'm off to watch yours! Yay :) Thank you so much for your lovely comment and congrats on your channel too
