I love the deep story of Grace and miracles that has been consistent during the development of HFA, and continues!A piece of my heart will remain in Eswatini. Would love to come back!
O, Leanne, thank you for another very lovely visit. Thanks to you, I also feel this is a group of friends. 🥳 I really like how you give shout-outs to designers, dyers, and shops, and especially how you educate viewers about indigenous peoples and their relationship with the land, which is different than I thought. I learn so much from you. I am truly moved by your sharing about some amazingly supportive efforts helping others. Bravo! I too am knitting leg warmers, 80s style in purple of course, as a gift to my trainer, right?👌 😁 She'll do me proud!! And Yaaay for all those rich amber golds 😎 😍😘
Huge thank you Desiree for this encouraging message! Wind beneath my wings today … LOVE that we are doing our part to bring the 80s back! 😂 “She’s a maniac.. maaaaniac on the floor”
Haha, I too gave up on the Westknits KAL, aside from being fiddly...I knew I wouldn't wear this shawl. Nothing wrong with honoring yourself. Now you have beautiful yarn for some other project! Safe travels Leanne!
Not a knitter but so love all of this. Inspired always. And your calm demeanour is magical. ♥️ The education also on the acknowledgment of Indigenous Land. 🙏🏻 Thank you
I don't think I have seen a colourway yet that I don't like from Arcane Fibreworks. Absolutely stunning. Can't wait to see your lace work in your Zweig.
Thank you, Leanne, for your podcast. I love the piece you were wearing at the beginning of the podcast. It looks so warm and a great addition to a jacket in the fall. I am knitting "Autumn Comes" by Lisa Hannes. It is such a beautiful scarf and totally reversible. I am using a lace weight yarn and mohair held together. So delicate looking! It is a gift for my sister. I hope she loves it as much as I do knitting it! Thanks again for sharing various cities in Canada with us. "May your knitting be filled with joy and confidence". A quote from Amber of Sun Dragon.
Love the projects, and Hearts for Africa. What a great way to show us what's available for thoughtful gifts. I really appreciated that. Got the cowl to for swatching and the cause. Take good care! - Kimberly
TY for sharing your time with us again, Leanne. I like your phrase "honor myself". A dickie looks perfect under the jacket- no bulky sleeves or too warm with a full sweater. Stay well.
Hi Leanne, I love that Dickey and the color! I too, have been slightly obsessed with yellow. I just finished a bright yellow hat - pattern mouton noir - out of Julie Asselin’s boucle. It’s that nice pop of color. I’ve also started a baby blanket - Walt Chevron - for a baby due this month😅. My Ranunculus sleeve is in WIPs, and so is my eccentricity shawl. They are both too hard 😭 ❤❤❤
I knew that was Frank Ochre the moment I saw you on screen. It’s my favorite colorway of all time. It’s what happiness would be if you had to assign a color to it, at least for me. It looks beautiful on you, Leanne!
Clue 1 is too beautiful to frog. And I’m guessing if you haven’t frogged it by now, you really don’t want to. Check out episode 35 of Annijuuti’s channel in which she brilliantly turned the shawl into a cowl by completing clue 2 and connecting the ends. Clue 2 is a fun, easy knit of alternating garter and twisted stitch short rows, and you’ll get a chance to use some of that pop color for not a lot more knitting. Let us know what you think. nycSox
Thanks Carla! Yes I did hear that about the cowl from Annijuuti. Great idea. I think I’m going to need that main colour though for my Zweig. There are no more skeins of Mayflower!
Thanks a bunch. We're having a gloomy Saturday so it was nice to have a little knitting journey with you. You always have so many interesting things to check out.
I need a sweater in the color you are wearing ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Then I realized it’s a collar and I need the exact same thing. Thanks for your endless inspiration 😊
Thank you once again Leanne. I love travelling with you. Your Zweig is going to be amazing in that colour way. I love those orange colours of Arcane. Happy travels!
Lovely as always Leanne and I love that you put maps in. I have no idea where anything is so it helps! Wow Regina was interesting, thanks for taking the time to film and curate all this. Africa! Thanks for sharing all that too. (great gift ideas) and 60 hats, that was so lovely. Life can be full of such contrast and I learned when I was a young teenager (we travelled) how fortunate I was and that it should never be taken for granted and I raised my children with this exposure as much as I could too. They are kind, generous souls that make my heart sing. MKAL - ha ha what a ride, my first and I finished and know if I saw it I would not have chosen to knit it, but I love it, because it was so fun and not knowing what was going on was hilarious and worst case, rip it. Yarn is so magical like that, not like sewing! Gave my family endless hours of confusion as I'm quite the control freak, I prefer to call myself "in charge" but whatever! Happy knitting and thanks once again for the joy, Karen x
Hi Karen 👋🏼 I really love your feedback on the podcasts. I hope you know how much it means to me that you spend your time engaging with this channel. And hey.. this world needs those who are geared toward being “in charge” 💗🤗
Thanks ,,Leanne,,,,,I always learn so much from UR podcasts !!! Love UR dicķey,,,,,,love that color,,, and UR cowl! IS AMAZING,,,,THANK YOU,,, LOVED the tour,,,,, Elaine 🏡🏡 Knitting socks,,,,hats for Xmas gifts,,,,,
Hi Leanne, so nice to see you again and bring me back to Canada. Regina looks so peaceful. I'm knitting my daughter a sweater in the same brown in alpaca and I just bought plant tables in the same curry colour. I had to laugh . Thanks for the new episode, you're simply the best ! Hugz 🥰
Love the Dickey! We had them …. And we wore them when I was growing up. Yup I am a kid from that generation, lol. They are so awesome. You are an outstanding knitter. So enjoy all of the content in your podcasts. Thank you.
Thank you JACLevair! I am giving the gold one back to my sister and making another one! Let’s totally bring the Dickey back into fashion 😆. Thanks for watching 🤗
This was a wonderful journey to Regina with you and your knits. You have so many talents and make this seem easy. We all know that this takes a tremendous amount of organization, planning, enthusiasm and skill. Thank you!💗
Greetings from Maryland where it is unseasonably warm. As I listen and watch I am finishing a trivet knit with hand spun yarn which I will felt as a holiday gift. I loved knitting my Zweig and know you will too! Each and every episode is “Pure Joy” to sit and knit with you. I appreciate the time you take to help us learn more about Canada. Thanks 🙏
Hi Leanne! I love all the makes ❤ - thank you for all the advice on the un-spun yarn cardigan. I really appreciate the helpful messages you sent me on working with “Cotton Candy” (“Fairy Floss” to Australians…😂)
Hi Leanne/ great knitting with you tonight… totally understand frogging a project of it is “just NOT your happy place”… so much beautiful knitting and not enough time so knowing what works for you is super helpful to keep it fun. Thinking your colour is “honey” or “gold”! All your knits are lovely and your design is fantastic- thank you for designing👏👏👏👏. My Cousins live in Regina so have been a few times… but too cold in the winter. Brrrr!. Safe travels and look forward to your next Vlog 🤗
Thanks for knitting with me Linda! I am looking forward to knitting with you from home as I’m off this weekend 🙌🏼 I love Saskatchewan but oh yes them prairies are ccccold in the winter eh? 🥶
I knit a Zweig during lockdown and I love it so much! I really enjoyed knitting it. I hope you do, too. Thank you for another wonderful episode. I really enjoy watching you.
Enjoyed finding your podcast! Regina is my home. Yarn Over is my local. And I love the mustard/gold/ochres so beautiful! Thanks for featuring this amazing place. I have traveled the world and always come home feeling like we have the best of everything. Clean air, safe neighborhoods, affordable life, music, food, sports, art and knitting!!! I just got into spinning to support my yarn habit 😅
Hi there! Welcome welcome! I am so glad the TH-cam recommended my Channel to you in YQR. Saskatchewan in general is so amazing and comforting to me. I think it might be time for me to do a roadtrip down to Estevan to visit my remaining relatives there. I just got myself an e-spinner and after a rough start I seem to be catching on… maybe 🤷♀️.
Hey Leanne, so excited you’re coming to the Fibre Frolic. The Yarn Rebels and Yarn Divas will be hosting the Gathering Threads Social Lounge at the show, please stop by and say hello, I will be there hosting on both Sat. and Sun. and I would love to meet you. We’ll be having prize giveaways, games and having fun sharing what everyone is working on. Plus seeing all the amazing yarn 🥰
I think the Canadian tourist board should start sponsoring your great podcast! Every time I watch I get the traveling bug 😊 Only set foot in 🇨🇦 once (almost literally - walked across the bridge from 🇺🇸at the Niagara Falls) and I’d love to make a real trip there some day - to explore and buy yarn. Kind regards from 🇸🇪
It’s so nice to spend some time with you again. I think today your podcast was very special and I’m gave me lots to think about. Thank you for being so interesting as well as informative! Have a great day!
Please come to Yarn Over again. Brianna has created a wonderful community . Many of us watch your channel. Brianna also had the Queen City Fiber Festival, which supported a number community groups. It would be fun for you to see all the changes.
So lovely catching up with you Leanne 😊 Your Travellers Cardigan turned out so beautifully and what luck having similar colours of unspun to save the day! Looking forward to seeing your Zweig knit up with the Burning Birch colourway 😍 Thank-you for sharing about Heart for Africa and your personal experiences travelling to Swaziland. I found it very touching and inspiring 🤗💕
Thank you Nikki! The unspun from Woollentwine working as a stand-in for the Skrymsle Nutiden is a bonafide miracle in my books! 😂 Cannot stop knitting on the Zweig! Such a great pattern!
Don't be afraid to steek, go to Schoolhouse Press, I think Meg Swansen has a blog tutorial on it. She's terrific. Love the cowl you designed! I love to quilt too, your whole family is talented.
Thank you Teri… I’m determined I am going to do it! It’s not scary. I ordered some good scissors today, which I think is a good thing to have for steeking. Baby steps
Absolutely the best in vlogs, love each and every one of them. Dont know how you find time to accomplish so much. Thank you so much for your visits around the cities you visit.
Heather what a lovely message! So far I’m managing to find balance between work, knitting and family… my housework is actually suffering (dust bunnies everywhere!) but I’m not feeling bad about it. 😃 Happy weekend to you!
Thanks for this lovely trip to Regina. You are a great host. Why don’t you create your own shawl from that west shawl? Even if you simply add 2 long garderstitch wings, it will look great. That center part is so beautiful and was so much work! Take care. Love from Switzerland….
Hello from Vancouver BC Leanne! I look forward so much to your podcasts , you're amazing just for being able to get up before 3am to go to work hahahaha. I always complain if a flight leaves in the morning and do anything to travel late in the day! Love your knitting, the Dickkie is so cute and the yellow is so you. I made the Zweig a while ago when I didn't know how to do short rows and messed it all up so, I'll have to undo the whole thing and now with more experience do it again because it's a beautiful sweater. Thanks for showing us Regina, very lovely except for the weather, you us BC people don't mind the rain but snow it's a whole new ball game. Big hug, safe flights. See you soon. Lupita 🇨🇦
I agree with Lisa, such an awesome podcast! How could we ask for more, seeing all neat places in our Canada and all the lovely yarn shops. I met you in Regina and have binge watched you for 2 days now. So much information, so many patterns. Don't ever stop. I am in Prince George BC
Loved all your projects. Getting warmer a free espace tricot pattern is also a cozy neck warmer you may enjoy. Regina is also home to the 2022 CFL Grey Cup.🏈🏈
Loving all the knits, especially the yellows, my fave lately. Wow, I really enjoy learning about all the things you share in your content, so inspiring. Great clips of the quilts your Sister made, such a talented crafty family, must be so fun to get together. I have been working on Safe at Home blanket by Margaret Holzmann, this will be maybe a full winter project, just taking my time. I just purchased Tucson by Ashleigh Wempe, plan on knitting that sometime soon. It was just released as a single pattern on Ravelry, it is also in the book: Handmade: Slow Fashion Inspired by Arizona's Five Cs where there are some other lovely patterns as well. Thank you Leanne for another beautiful podcast. Take care and safe travels. 🤗
Wow!! Has it really been 7 months!!! I’ve enjoyed your podcasts and have learned some very interesting history about our beautiful country 🇨🇦. Looking forward to seeing where we visit next time!!!
I really like your channel so much. I’ve watched it all when I had COVID. You know what really makes me curious. Could you do a tour of your wardrobe? I would be so interested to see all the garments that you’ve knitted. How much do you think you have in total (that you kept). And do you make sure you wear it all? How do you ‘manage’ practically speaking having so many knitted wearables?
Hi Eleonora thank you for watching all my videos I so appreciate that. Hope your Covid is loooong gone. Regarding your questions: I’ve kept track of my projects on Ravelry from the beginning of my knitting obsession and I’ve made approximately 400+ projects. These projects have run the gamut from bookmarks to Cowichan sweaters. I have gifted all my knits with the exception of about 25 items which are in my own collection/wardrobe. I keep them folded on a shelf in my closet so that they are “visible” and at the ready while I getting dressed. I like accessories the most as they are a quick pop of knitting to add to a normal outfit. Now that my children are adults I have more time to start knitting sweaters and cardigans and I can see this becoming a focus. And knitting more for me … maybe!
Donna from Blind and Knitting recommended your podcast. I watched one, then had to binge watch the rest. So interesting to see the places you visit. Adding the maps is a great idea. Wonderful knitting projects which you explain really well. Many thanks, Jazell.
I just discovered your channel in the last couple of weeks and you've been keeping me entertained as I pack up my home and family to move to pastures new. When you mentioned Malabrigo there, I had to comment. I had just bought a skein of Rios in the beautiful shade "Azul Profundo" because I am knitting a Dave hat for my "Dave" for Christmas. It's my first time using this yarn and I am excited to move into our new home and finally get a chance to pick up my needles again. The Dave will be my first project in my new home. The yarn was the last yarn delivery to our old home 😊
Mary your post made my day for so many reasons! I listened to sooOo many podcasts when we were packing and moving in 2021 and it saved my sanity! Love that I’m keeping you company during this transition. Can’t wait to hear how your Dave turns out. Malabrigo is my ‘comfort yarn’ and hats are my ‘comfort project’. Thanks for being here all the best with the new pastures!
@theknittystew thank you so much! I have gotten so much inspiration from your videos. You have seriously contributed to my Ravelry favourites! I also love learning about your beautiful country. I also love how you pay homage with such reverence to the Indigenous people. One of my husband's big interests is learning about the native people of the America's, something he has ignited in me, too. Again, thank you for being such a calming and comforting companion to me throughout this huge transition. Moving house is physically hard, but I'm finding it quite emotional, too, as happy memories are stirred up in the process. Having podcasts to keep me entertained has been such a help 😊
Hi Leanne 👋 Missed you in Calgary but I'm glad you had fun at your sister's B/D party! 🥳 Luv your FO's. Isn't it funny, the urge to knit faster when you think you'll lose at 🧶🐔 🤣
Another great podcast Leanne! It is a lot of work for you and they are so informative and well organized. Love the 'travelogs' you include of the adventures you have on your work travels. You clearly enjoy your job & your knitting hobby very much! Best of both worlds! I have intended to knit the Zweig for some time -the roadblock is choosing the right colours for such a monumental project. Continued safe travels and I look forward to seeing whatever you share with us in future!
Thank you so much for that encouragement 🌟 I feel like making yarn choices and choosing colours takes me longer than actually getting the projects done. 😆 Have a wonderful weekend!
@@theknittystew I'm making my way through your videos and I've just seen it's progress in the Abbotsford episode. can't wait to see the final version 💕
Thank you so much for your lovely podcast. I love the projects and the inspiration that you provide. I'm knitting socks for Christmas and hope to do a cowl or two. I knit the Zweig shortly after it was released and I used a commercial black yarn for the body and a very special hand dyed yarn I bought in Paris. I get compliments whenever I wear that sweater. It's a memory from our trip to France and I always reflect on the shop where I found the yarn and the long walk to find it.
I would suggest making another section of the Stephen West KAL part 1. Make the inverse of the 1st panel. When you are done hand stitch them together. Good luck it does look beautiful.
So good to see you again. I have made Zweig (Ravelry…knitnut246) and loved making it and wearing it. Right now I am working on the Sophie scarf #2 so cute and fun. Connie Windsor Ontario.❤️🇨🇦❤️safe travels.
Lovely episode once again. I would have enjoyed your walk through the park and the visit to the yarn shop in Regina. All the shops in my area are tiny and crammed with goodies, but no place to sit for a friendly chat with fellow knitters. The piece you have finished for the West KAL is too beautiful to frog. I would definitely use a pop color or two by picking up stitches along the sides and knitting some crescent wings to finish out a shawl. The lime green skein you have would be a zinger, in my opinion.. I am ready for sleeve separation on the Zweig sweater, done all in beige, but it is "resting" while I'm working on other projects. Too many WIPS, as usual. Looking forward to next episode.
It's always a joy when I see a new episode. Thank you ! I am knitting my third dickie =personnal patterns= and indeed it's fun to knit and wear. I was running out of yarn (Julie Asselin Leizu worsted) so I changed the yarn for the folded cowl and knitted it with Drops Air. Very pleased with the result, it's like whipped cream on top of a good coffee....
Thank you for sharing about A Heart for Africa. I am definitely going to check them out. I thought your statement about meaningful giving was appropriate for this time of year with Thanksgiving and Christmas. Your projects are lovely. Kim
Thank you for such a socially conscious episode. We can always spend rich moments in knitting and the overflow of the craft and be better people. Travel safely!
What great luck that TH-cam “noticed” me watching knitting channels and brought me to yours! And the first podcast I watch is of my hometown Regina!! I enjoyed your walk about video so much; we moved to Chicago 24 yrs ago and oh how our hometown has changed. I am so looking forward to more podcasts! I cracked up when you said “give her”….I haven’t heard that phrase since we moved😂 Wishing you safe travels and good coffee!
Haha! Yay for the algorithm! Love that you noticed the “give er” definitely a term for us prairie folks eh? Chicago winters are probably pretty harsh.. wishing you warm knits and good coffee too 😃 🤗
What a lovely podcast! Really appreciate you showcasing our beautiful country and all the independent local yarn shops and lovely yarns.
Thank you Lisa and also for buying me a coffee! Hug 🤗
Thank you for another inspirational podcast, Leanne. ❤
Thank you Deborah 🤗
Thank you so much for your support Leanne! We SO appreciate you and hope to see you in Eswatini again sometime soon. 😊♥
I love the deep story of Grace and miracles that has been consistent during the development of HFA, and continues!A piece of my heart will remain in Eswatini. Would love to come back!
I am I bed with a morning coffee actually knitting a dickie for my son-in-law. Love yours!
Thank you for this lovely cowl pattern !
You are VERY welcome! 🤗

Have a great weekend.
☕️ 💗
I love the Golden Dickey- I think it would make a lovely vest as well- the collar and shoulder stitching is lovely♥️
Thank you Donna! I do have 2 skeins of Malabrigo in the colourway Pearl, and that would definitely be enough for a vest 🤍
Haha, I too gave up on the Westknits KAL, aside from being fiddly...I knew I wouldn't wear this shawl. Nothing wrong with honoring yourself. Now you have beautiful yarn for some other project! Safe travels Leanne!
Thank you Zerlina! I hope you have some knitting time for yourself this weekend 🤗
Thank you!Your shows are getting better and better!
Yay! Thanks Wilma!
Lovely knits and yarns. Thank you for sharing them and showing us Regina. Take Care.
Thank you Donna 🤗
Your explanation of the land acknowledgement is probably the best description I've heard.. thank you so much for sharing that.
That is SO wonderful to hear. Thank you!
Another beautiful podcast. Loved your FOs, your wee trips and learning more about you and your family and generous spirit. Many thanks
Thank you so much for this very kind message! 🤗
Not a knitter but so love all of this. Inspired always. And your calm demeanour is magical.
♥️
The education also on the acknowledgment of Indigenous Land.
🙏🏻
Thank you
💖💖 Thank you Talia ✨✨ (((hug)))
In my hotel room (work trip), watching your podcast and knitting away! Thank you!
Hotel knitting!! My favourite!!
I don't think I have seen a colourway yet that I don't like from Arcane Fibreworks. Absolutely stunning. Can't wait to see your lace work in your Zweig.
Right!? His colours are soooOoo good! 👌🏼

I love when you tell us the history of the land that you are visiting and their original inhabitants.
Thank you Jackie!
Oh my goodness, that yarn for your Zweig lace portion is gorgeous!
Barbara I literally couldn’t stop working on the lace portion … loooove the Blazing Birch and pattern a LOT 🧡
Love the projects, and Hearts for Africa. What a great way to show us what's available for thoughtful gifts. I really appreciated that. Got the cowl to for swatching and the cause. Take good care! - Kimberly

Ahhh yesss you are my people… Frank Ochre could definitely be the colour assigned to happiness 🥹💛
I am so happy evertime I see that you uploaded a new episode. Love your & Creabea cowl patterns. Lots of inspiration!
Aw thanks Celia 🤗 that makes me happy!

Thanks a bunch. We're having a gloomy Saturday so it was nice to have a little knitting journey with you. You always have so many interesting things to check out.
Thanks for travelling with me Bernadette! I love gloomy days. I think I should’ve been born on an island near the sea.
Wonderful podcast Leanne, as always. ❤
Thank you Pati! You are so kind to say 💓
I need a sweater in the color you are wearing ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Then I realized it’s a collar and I need the exact same thing. Thanks for your endless inspiration 😊
That gold on you would be amaaaaazing! Ooohh as the Sari N cabled collar or sweater! Thanks for hanging with me! 💛
Another lovely episode. Thank you so much. 😊

Hi Leanne, so nice to see you again and bring me back to Canada. Regina looks so peaceful. I'm knitting my daughter a sweater in the same brown in alpaca and I just bought plant tables in the same curry colour. I had to laugh . Thanks for the new episode, you're simply the best ! Hugz 🥰
Whoa! We are on the same knitting frequency! Thanks for the message 🤗
Love the Dickey! We had them …. And we wore them when I was growing up. Yup I am a kid from that generation, lol. They are so awesome. You are an outstanding knitter. So enjoy all of the content in your podcasts. Thank you.

Dickies for everyone!!!
Bonjour Leanne, great video as usual. What a great heart you have!
Merci Lucie! 🤗
Awesome podcast, thanks so much for taking us out and about your beautiful country. All the facts are so interesting.
Thank you Rosemary for travelling with me !! Love Canada so much.
Your cowl design is beautiful! Safe travels
Thank you Kelly 💗!
Watching from Newfoundland Canada, December 17/ 2022. So glad to find a Canadian knitter
Hi Judy! We Canadian knitters are drawn to each other like magnets! Thanks for watching. Where in Nfld are you?
The Dickey is great! I’m going to try it today. Thank you for your unique knitting podcast!
This is exciting news! Let me know how it goes!
I love the Drops Collar/Dickie. You gave me a wonderful idea for a Christmas gift or 2, 3😊
Bonnie this gold Dickey is going straight back to my sister.. she LOVES it. Such a great gift.
❤❤❤

Awesome! Thanks for this lovely message. Yeah, I’m still trying to get my bearings with this Fairy Floss myself 🤎
Hi Leanne/ great knitting with you tonight… totally understand frogging a project of it is “just NOT your happy place”… so much beautiful knitting and not enough time so knowing what works for you is super helpful to keep it fun. Thinking your colour is “honey” or “gold”! All your knits are lovely and your design is fantastic- thank you for designing👏👏👏👏. My Cousins live in Regina so have been a few times… but too cold in the winter. Brrrr!. Safe travels and look forward to your next Vlog 🤗
Thanks for knitting with me Linda! I am looking forward to knitting with you from home as I’m off this weekend 🙌🏼 I love Saskatchewan but oh yes them prairies are ccccold in the winter eh? 🥶
I knit a Zweig during lockdown and I love it so much! I really enjoyed knitting it. I hope you do, too. Thank you for another wonderful episode. I really enjoy watching you.
Thank you Michelle. I have yet to get a message about Zweig that isn’t positive 👏🏼… so far I’m having a blast knitting it.
I remember the good ole days of Malabrigo here in Canada …
I used to be able to but it for about $13CAD!
Thanks for explaining about the land acknowledgment, it makes sense now that I think about it.
Thank you! A lightbulb went on for me when I heard this gentleman Stephen Paquette speak about it: th-cam.com/video/_HtG7j19na4/w-d-xo.html
Looking forward to seeing that Zweig! 😊
🎉 Me too 😆
I love traveling through Canada with you. So many places that I haven't had the opportunity to visit. Love your podcast. Kim
Thank you Kim! Loooove your Slanting Slipover, btw!
Enjoyed finding your podcast! Regina is my home. Yarn Over is my local. And I love the mustard/gold/ochres so beautiful! Thanks for featuring this amazing place. I have traveled the world and always come home feeling like we have the best of everything. Clean air, safe neighborhoods, affordable life, music, food, sports, art and knitting!!! I just got into spinning to support my yarn habit 😅
Hi there! Welcome welcome! I am so glad the TH-cam recommended my Channel to you in YQR. Saskatchewan in general is so amazing and comforting to me. I think it might be time for me to do a roadtrip down to Estevan to visit my remaining relatives there. I just got myself an e-spinner and after a rough start I seem to be catching on… maybe 🤷♀️.
Thanks for another great podcast. I always love the extra video content of the towns you visit and their history. Your knita are beautiful too.
Thank you Solange for your kind words!! 🤗 Happy Knitting!!
Hey Leanne, so excited you’re coming to the Fibre Frolic. The Yarn Rebels and Yarn Divas will be hosting the Gathering Threads Social Lounge at the show, please stop by and say hello, I will be there hosting on both Sat. and Sun. and I would love to meet you. We’ll be having prize giveaways, games and having fun sharing what everyone is working on. Plus seeing all the amazing yarn 🥰
It’s going to be a blast! Will definitely stop into your party 🎉
I think the Canadian tourist board should start sponsoring your great podcast! Every time I watch I get the traveling bug 😊 Only set foot in 🇨🇦 once (almost literally - walked across the bridge from 🇺🇸at the Niagara Falls) and I’d love to make a real trip there some day - to explore and buy yarn. Kind regards from 🇸🇪
Aw yay! I love hearing that. I love Canada so much!
It’s so nice to spend some time with you again. I think today your podcast was very special and I’m gave me lots to think about. Thank you for being so interesting as well as informative! Have a great day!
Hello Michelle thanks for your thoughtful message and for spending your time watching!
Please come to Yarn Over again. Brianna has created a wonderful community . Many of us watch your channel. Brianna also had the Queen City Fiber Festival, which supported a number community groups. It would be fun for you to see all the changes.
Yay!! This is so wonderful!!
So lovely catching up with you Leanne 😊 Your Travellers Cardigan turned out so beautifully and what luck having similar colours of unspun to save the day! Looking forward to seeing your Zweig knit up with the Burning Birch colourway 😍 Thank-you for sharing about Heart for Africa and your personal experiences travelling to Swaziland. I found it very touching and inspiring 🤗💕
Thank you Nikki! The unspun from Woollentwine working as a stand-in for the Skrymsle Nutiden is a bonafide miracle in my books! 😂 Cannot stop knitting on the Zweig! Such a great pattern!
Don't be afraid to steek, go to Schoolhouse Press, I think Meg Swansen has a blog tutorial on it. She's terrific. Love the cowl you designed! I love to quilt too, your whole family is talented.
Thank you Teri… I’m determined I am going to do it! It’s not scary. I ordered some good scissors today, which I think is a good thing to have for steeking. Baby steps
Absolutely the best in vlogs, love each and every one of them. Dont know how you find time to accomplish so much. Thank you so much for your visits around the cities you visit.
Heather what a lovely message! So far I’m managing to find balance between work, knitting and family… my housework is actually suffering (dust bunnies everywhere!) but I’m not feeling bad about it. 😃 Happy weekend to you!
Beautiful hats and cowls!
Thank you 😊!!!
Another great episode, thank you! I love seeing your shots of Canada 😊 Your mustard colour cowl/bib was fabulous - Malabrigo is a beautiful brand.
Thank you Susan 🤗 ☕️!!
Thanks for this lovely trip to Regina. You are a great host.
Why don’t you create your own shawl from that west shawl? Even if you simply add 2 long garderstitch wings, it will look great. That center part is so beautiful and was so much work!
Take care. Love from Switzerland….
I have looked for a similar pattern . This is a perfect gift knit.
👌🏼
Hello from Vancouver BC Leanne!
I look forward so much to your podcasts , you're amazing just for being able to get up before 3am to go to work hahahaha. I always complain if a flight leaves in the morning and do anything to travel late in the day!
Love your knitting, the Dickkie is so cute and the yellow is so you. I made the Zweig a while ago when I didn't know how to do short rows and messed it all up so, I'll have to undo the whole thing and now with more experience do it again because it's a beautiful sweater.
Thanks for showing us Regina, very lovely except for the weather, you us BC people don't mind the rain but snow it's a whole new ball game. Big hug, safe flights. See you soon. Lupita 🇨🇦
Thank you Lupita !! I’m starting to think we should be doing a “Zweig-along”!
Oh I adore your designs!
Thank you Robyn!!
I’m knitting yet another Perec vest in Rowan Felted Tweed and socks for my sister for Christmas.
Looking that pattern up. I’ve used the Rowan felted tweed and I like it alot!
I agree with Lisa, such an awesome podcast! How could we ask for more, seeing all neat places in our Canada and all the lovely yarn shops. I met you in Regina and have binge watched you for 2 days now. So much information, so many patterns. Don't ever stop. I am in Prince George BC
Hi Laurie! Thank you for bingeing! 😆 I am honoured!
Loved all your projects. Getting warmer a free espace tricot pattern is also a cozy neck warmer you may enjoy. Regina is also home to the 2022 CFL Grey Cup.🏈🏈
Thanks Esther! Yass the 109th Grey Cup!
Loving all the knits, especially the yellows, my fave lately. Wow, I really enjoy learning about all the things you share in your content, so inspiring. Great clips of the quilts your Sister made, such a talented crafty family, must be so fun to get together. I have been working on Safe at Home blanket by Margaret Holzmann, this will be maybe a full winter project, just taking my time. I just purchased Tucson by Ashleigh Wempe, plan on knitting that sometime soon. It was just released as a single pattern on Ravelry, it is also in the book: Handmade: Slow Fashion Inspired by Arizona's Five Cs where there are some other lovely patterns as well. Thank you Leanne for another beautiful podcast. Take care and safe travels. 🤗
Thank you so much Sue! I appreciate you being here 🤗! Added Tucson to the FAVES. It’s lovely 🥰
Brilliant video I really enjoy your content did a knit along while you were blethering looking forward to the next… take care x
Thank you for spending your time here !
Love your podcasts!
Thank you Lucile!
Wow!! Has it really been 7 months!!! I’ve enjoyed your podcasts and have learned some very interesting history about our beautiful country 🇨🇦. Looking forward to seeing where we visit next time!!!
Thanks for always being here Penny! 🤗
I have made your cowl patter several times….thank you for sharing your talents ❤your podcast and travels to the yarn shops…
Awesome! This is so nice to hear 🤗
I really like your channel so much. I’ve watched it all when I had COVID.
You know what really makes me curious. Could you do a tour of your wardrobe? I would be so interested to see all the garments that you’ve knitted. How much do you think you have in total (that you kept). And do you make sure you wear it all? How do you ‘manage’ practically speaking having so many knitted wearables?
Hi Eleonora thank you for watching all my videos I so appreciate that. Hope your Covid is loooong gone. Regarding your questions: I’ve kept track of my projects on Ravelry from the beginning of my knitting obsession and I’ve made approximately 400+ projects. These projects have run the gamut from bookmarks to Cowichan sweaters. I have gifted all my knits with the exception of about 25 items which are in my own collection/wardrobe. I keep them folded on a shelf in my closet so that they are “visible” and at the ready while I getting dressed. I like accessories the most as they are a quick pop of knitting to add to a normal outfit. Now that my children are adults I have more time to start knitting sweaters and cardigans and I can see this becoming a focus. And knitting more for me … maybe!
I loooove your podcasts.
Thank you Pamela that means a lot coming from another podcaster !!
Donna from Blind and Knitting recommended your podcast. I watched one, then had to binge watch the rest. So interesting to see the places you visit. Adding the maps is a great idea. Wonderful knitting projects which you explain really well. Many thanks, Jazell.
Thank you Jazell I really appreciate that! And thanks to lovely Donna @blindandknitting for mentioning me!
I just discovered your channel in the last couple of weeks and you've been keeping me entertained as I pack up my home and family to move to pastures new. When you mentioned Malabrigo there, I had to comment. I had just bought a skein of Rios in the beautiful shade "Azul Profundo" because I am knitting a Dave hat for my "Dave" for Christmas. It's my first time using this yarn and I am excited to move into our new home and finally get a chance to pick up my needles again. The Dave will be my first project in my new home. The yarn was the last yarn delivery to our old home 😊
Mary your post made my day for so many reasons! I listened to sooOo many podcasts when we were packing and moving in 2021 and it saved my sanity! Love that I’m keeping you company during this transition. Can’t wait to hear how your Dave turns out. Malabrigo is my ‘comfort yarn’ and hats are my ‘comfort project’. Thanks for being here all the best with the new pastures!
@theknittystew thank you so much! I have gotten so much inspiration from your videos. You have seriously contributed to my Ravelry favourites! I also love learning about your beautiful country. I also love how you pay homage with such reverence to the Indigenous people. One of my husband's big interests is learning about the native people of the America's, something he has ignited in me, too. Again, thank you for being such a calming and comforting companion to me throughout this huge transition. Moving house is physically hard, but I'm finding it quite emotional, too, as happy memories are stirred up in the process. Having podcasts to keep me entertained has been such a help 😊
Hi Leanne 👋 Missed you in Calgary but I'm glad you had fun at your sister's B/D party! 🥳 Luv your FO's. Isn't it funny, the urge to knit faster when you think you'll lose at 🧶🐔 🤣
Yarn chicken is my nemesis! 😆
Another great podcast Leanne! It is a lot of work for you and they are so informative and well organized. Love the 'travelogs' you include of the adventures you have on your work travels. You clearly enjoy your job & your knitting hobby very much! Best of both worlds! I have intended to knit the Zweig for some time -the roadblock is choosing the right colours for such a monumental project. Continued safe travels and I look forward to seeing whatever you share with us in future!
Thank you so much for that encouragement 🌟 I feel like making yarn choices and choosing colours takes me longer than actually getting the projects done. 😆 Have a wonderful weekend!
That Arcane Burning beech yarn looks like it's on fire! So goregous, it's going to look fab as the lace panel in your Zweig.
Ooohhh Melissa!! 🔥 I can’t wait for you to see it in the Kelowna episode!
@@theknittystew I'm making my way through your videos and I've just seen it's progress in the Abbotsford episode. can't wait to see the final version 💕
Hi Leanne, just dropping in to say that I think of people who repeatedly lose at yarn chicken as "yarn optimists" 😄
Haha! I think you need to make t-shirts with that on it. It’s totally me.
Thank you so much for your lovely podcast. I love the projects and the inspiration that you provide. I'm knitting socks for Christmas and hope to do a cowl or two. I knit the Zweig shortly after it was released and I used a commercial black yarn for the body and a very special hand dyed yarn I bought in Paris. I get compliments whenever I wear that sweater. It's a memory from our trip to France and I always reflect on the shop where I found the yarn and the long walk to find it.
Loooove that when a knit has wonderful, sentimental memories attached to it whenever worn. We knitters are so lucky!
I would suggest making another section of the Stephen West KAL part 1. Make the inverse of the 1st panel. When you are done hand stitch them together. Good luck it does look beautiful.
Oh yes indeed my friend Annijuuti did that! But I will need the main colour for my Zweig.
So good to see you again. I have made Zweig (Ravelry…knitnut246) and loved making it and wearing it. Right now I am working on the Sophie scarf #2 so cute and fun. Connie Windsor Ontario.❤️🇨🇦❤️safe travels.
Thanks Connie! Will check out your Zweig!
Lovely episode once again. I would have enjoyed your walk through the park and the visit to the yarn shop in Regina. All the shops in my area are tiny and crammed with goodies, but no place to sit for a friendly chat with fellow knitters. The piece you have finished for the West KAL is too beautiful to frog. I would definitely use a pop color or two by picking up stitches along the sides and knitting some crescent wings to finish out a shawl. The lime green skein you have would be a zinger, in my opinion.. I am ready for sleeve separation on the Zweig sweater, done all in beige, but it is "resting" while I'm working on other projects. Too many WIPS, as usual. Looking forward to next episode.
Great suggestions Linda!
❤️❤️❤️
It's always a joy when I see a new episode. Thank you !
I am knitting my third dickie =personnal patterns= and indeed it's fun to knit and wear. I was running out of yarn (Julie Asselin Leizu worsted) so I changed the yarn for the folded cowl and knitted it with Drops Air. Very pleased with the result, it's like whipped cream on top of a good coffee....
Thank you Johane! Dickies for EVERYONE YAY! I need Drops Air in my life .
Thank you for sharing about A Heart for Africa. I am definitely going to check them out. I thought your statement about meaningful giving was appropriate for this time of year with Thanksgiving and Christmas. Your projects are lovely. Kim
That’s wonderful Kim! That makes me so happy! Bless you.
Thank you for such a socially conscious episode. We can always spend rich moments in knitting and the overflow of the craft and be better people. Travel safely!
Thank you Sheri 🤗!!
What great luck that TH-cam “noticed” me watching knitting channels and brought me to yours! And the first podcast I watch is of my hometown Regina!! I enjoyed your walk about video so much; we moved to Chicago 24 yrs ago and oh how our hometown has changed. I am so looking forward to more podcasts! I cracked up when you said “give her”….I haven’t heard that phrase since we moved😂 Wishing you safe travels and good coffee!
Haha! Yay for the algorithm! Love that you noticed the “give er” definitely a term for us prairie folks eh? Chicago winters are probably pretty harsh.. wishing you warm knits and good coffee too 😃 🤗
