Some people are sooo clever. I do hope there will always be blacksmiths and lampshade makers. I believe roof thatchers are scarce. There is nothing more beautiful than handmade things. Well done Kirsty. ❤️
Bravo, Kirstie :) The knitting expert can attribute her speed to her fine hand posture. Few knitters actually hold the needle from below as she did and doing so makes all the difference! You could also try crocheting if you are inclined, like the pattern in your colourful playroom afghan blanket. It's quicker and easier than knitting, and just as satisfying. You said something that struck me as profound. Obviously we all have things that were owned by others before us, but, silly me, I never thought about them being owned by others after I am gone!
I love this, especially seeing her get deals from random shops and yards, but she got rid of a great fireplace, like it had a mirror on top, idk, really loved seeing it and would definitely keep it 42:59
My mum also said 'you can't learn to knit, you're left handed' to me as a child, and I carried that with me for years. I started with crochet at 40 and then knitting at 45. Then sense of satisfaction knowing I could do it, and everyone was wrong is immense. I understand so well Kirsties feeling of achievement.
From the way Kirstie said it, it sounds more like her right-handed granny told her that SHE could not teach a left-hander to knit, not that no left-handed person can ever learn to knit. Children often don't hear things the way adults intend them...
Found this series today. Have binge watched for 7 hours and will definitely tell family in the UK to watch. Kirsty is such fun, and gives much joy knowledge and fun ideas! 💕🇿🇦
I could watch this series time and time again and I will. I would love to see the Christmas at Meadowgate programmes ...when Kirstie got all crafts people together for a party to thank them.💖💕
I'm a self taught left-handed knitter. And I've taught my nieces to knit which was quite simple, they sat opposite me and mirrored my actions, so teaching a left hander should be just as simple.
As I’m watching the knitting segment, I’m knitting on my newest sweater 😂. Great job Kristie. You CAN do it! Knitting is awesome!! And you don’t need someone “elderly” to teach you. I learned from TH-cam. Aside from that, I have a huge desire to go an auction or reclamation yard. I love what you show us. This show is fabulous!!
Lovely. So informative. I am a relentess recycler and reuser, specially of family hand-me-downs. Nothing compares to the soulfulness of these age-old pieces.
I'm keen on the reuse and repurpose philosophy, so I mostly love what goes on here. I just wonder why that lovely indigo tiled fireplace surround couldn't be retained? Once again, I feel let down by the chandeliers. Both rooms need larger, more interesting pendants to anchor them. Otherwise -- great curtains, cushions, colors, design!
I would love to try that blacksmithing. I can understand why she got emotional. That would be really cool to make something out of metal, right out of the fire like that.
I LOVE those beautiful blue tiles around the old fireplace. Gorgeous color! And I’m not even a blue lover. Edit: Ironic. So she goes to a junk yard to find vintage architectural pieces for cheap. She goes to a home for its explosion of color. The result is she trashes the gorgeous blue, old, vintage fireplace tiles with a different, blah fireplace surround that she paid for. Ummm, huh?
I suspect she got several hundred pounds for that fireplace. It probably went to that salvage guy. It wasn't original to the house (late 19th century, I think.) The Victorian style would have fought for the eclectic style she is going for.
Everybody in the UK does. Nobody learns to drive automatic, everyone gets a manual licence. Even if people then choose to drive automatic later on, their first cars are usually stick-shift and they always know how to drive one just in case!
Bless Kirstie's heart, but Port Elliot is so subjectively decorated, it will appeal to very few... Ditto the fellow Kay's (?) house. Absolutely god-awful.

Being dutch i adore english country lifestyle. Happy i did find these series.
But.....I should always have kept that gorgeous fireplace ! ;)
Love the dog of the salesman. He walked right out of a book.
isn't he adorable?
I love this, especially seeing her get deals from random shops and yards, but she got rid of a great fireplace, like it had a mirror on top, idk, really loved seeing it and would definitely keep it 42:59
I agree.
I love it all but that pillow from an old sweater is the ultimate in cozy!

I love this series 😀
So pleased you showed how to knit for left handed people. At school like you I was told I would never learn to knit. Thank u Kirsty
I could watch this series time and time again and I will.

Park Royal Salvage closed 11 years ago (as of 2022). Sad. Would have loved to have visited it.
I love the way the lamp turned out. Gorgeous 😍

I remember my grandmother speed knitting. I never got past crocheting.

Everytime I see the green around the fireplace i think 'why on earth did she change that ?' Green is so great... for me !
same goes for the blue
apparently my granny was talking nonsense!! this made me laugh out loud just love this programme
Love the color palette… Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain equals . Red, Orange, Yellow, Green,, Blue, Indigo, Violet
In the US we always say "Roy G. Biv" like a name, for the order of the rainbow... I've never heard the UK version of it.
Fabulous Kirstie so creative
I love the passion and creativity of all the crafts people....it's fabulous 👌💕💖👏👏

Definitely give it a try! There is no such thing as man's work or women's work, just capable, passionate person work.
Love it Kirstie greetings from the Netherlands
Beautiful
anyone know where I can find the theme music? It's absolutely lovely.
The multi colored blanket? Is crochet ..granny squares !
Always inspiring and learning more all the time fascinating stuff
I have always enjoyed watching Kirstie but can't understand her love for cluttering up rooms!
I am glad you tried something Dean many good years of blacksmithing ahead
A shame to take out that fireplace, lovely 1930s work.
Agreed! I liked the blue tile fireplace. She could have kept that and used it to make the color scheme of the room.
@@caseyflorida I loved that fireplace. It made me so sad she substituted something so bland.
OMG, my favourite colour guru!! I didn't realise in Kirstie's program!!
When was this program aired? Kristi looks very young.
UK and France have amazing deals
The walls look white, does anyone know what colour they are.x
I LOVE those beautiful blue tiles around the old fireplace. Gorgeous color! And I’m not even a blue lover.

In the pond, around the wand, catch the fish , off the dish, Waldorf knittting poem,😀
In the bunny hole, around the big tree, out the bunny hole and off comes she is the rhythm I learned for knitting..
2 of the 4 elephants in the Elliott house were Ganesha idols... Ganesha is a Hindu God.
Impressed She drives stick
Everybody in the UK does. Nobody learns to drive automatic, everyone gets a manual licence. Even if people then choose to drive automatic later on, their first cars are usually stick-shift and they always know how to drive one just in case!
@@user-ed7et3pb4o in America even in America in our drivers Ed class we had automatic drive not stick
