      Hi Tamantha, thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. I'm thinking I should join the Spinners and Weavers to get some help with spinning. Probably not much point this late in the year do you think? - when do you start in the new year?

      Sounds good! I'll get in touch closer to the date for some details.

    Thanks for talking about the Arne & Carlos KAL. I'll use this as an excuse to visit Morris & Sons next week while travelling for work 😆🇦🇺

      Are you going with traditional red, white and green? I’m wondering whether to mix it up a bit

      @@yarnaboutyarn if I can get the colours they suggest I'll go traditional, otherwise will have to mix it up a bit, which could be fun. There's a really nice dark blue in that yarn.

    New viewer here -- in the USA. I will go back to watch some of your earlier episodes. I am also over 60, recently retired, and became a daily knitter when I discovered the online knitting community around 2004, well before Ravelry. My knitting group meets weekly, soon to start our 14th year, and I find it motivates me to have something to show for my week, either a new cast-on, progress or an FO. I will be looking forward to your next episodes. (I searched but did not find an American flag.)

      Hi Marsha and welcome. Which part of the US are you in? I wish I had a local knitting group (that's fantastic that you are in your 14th year, it must be like a family) but I am hoping to join a local spinners and weavers group in the new year

      @@yarnaboutyarn Hello again! I am in the southwest corner of Washington -- the Evergreen state. The climate here tends to be mild and wet, although the last several years have confirmed climate change is moving north. This is a great location for LYS within a couple of hours, so the knitters and I occasionally make a day trip of yarn crawling. Any chance there is a knitters' group connected to your local library? That was the original nexus of our group here.

      Yes, I did. The leaves are just about all off the trees and it is starting to get pretty cold. We are still lacking the rain we should be getting. We generally get a little snow every year and a few silver thaws. @@yarnaboutyarn

    I could not find the flag emoji but I am from the USA. I started watching you during the Stephen West MKAL and enjoy seeing what other people are currently knitting. I love finding knitting podcasts in other countries to see what the knitting is like over the world. I didn't think so many people outside the USA would participate in the Stephen West MKAL but I was shocked by just how many knitting podcasts were documenting their progress in Europe, South America, Australia and Japan. I would love to see your current wips and yarn stash. Are there any fiber festivals that you go to in Australia and any famous designers there that you love knitting? Are there any Australian knitting podcasts that you love to watch? I recently found Two Purls in a Pod (I think they are Australian) and I also found Knitty Mel from the MKAL as well. She has not posted since clue 3.

      Hello thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. It’s amazing just how many people around the world are knitting on the same project at the same time during the MKAL isn’t it. I guess the most well known Aussie designer I can think of at the moment would be Ambah O’Brien - I don’t knit much of her stuff anymore as she does a lot of shawls. Oge designs does baby and children’s wear. I’ll have to do a list of Aussie podcasters - thanks for the idea
