A very Happy Birthday to a lovely, entertaining and happy lady! I for one enjoy your yarn hauls, love to see what others find. Sometimes I tend to stick to the same old thing, nice to see options. And how much you enjoy your sharing puts a smile on my face! Thanks for the joy!
I absolutely love your podcasts! Thankyou for being you and for sharing your love of yarn and of course your love of the Lord. You are so refreshingly normal!!
Happy Birthday Ruth 🎉 🧶🎂✝️ I love seeing yarn haul videos! What a birthday treat for you to meet up with special Yarnie friends! A birthday to happily remember. ❤
Happy belated Birthday Ruth!🎂 It was nice spending this time with You! Safe travels! Happy Easter to you and your beautiful family! 🐇 Happy Knitting!🧶🥰
Happy Birthday, Ruth 🎉 I loved seeing your yarn haul - so gorgeous and fun. I would have come away with many skeins of yarn at that price. I think you showed admirable restraint 😅 Have a smooth and safe journey to Edinburgh and northern Ireland. See you next time! Susannah
Happiest of birthdays Ruth, throughly enjoyed the podcast. Just adore Jo and Rachel too Ruth, I discovered them on your podcast and have watched all their episodes and nearly caught up now. Enjoy your trip away with your family and wishing you all the blessings of Easter 🙏❤️
Your girls night out sounds like it turned into something spectacular 😊 Yarns are all lovely. As you changed your pins from the hoop to what looks like a bag (it's behind your head), I had missed it until you pointed it out. Need to find something to do with mine. Happiest of birthdays 🎉 Have a wonderful time in Scotland and with your family in Ireland and a blessed Easter ❤✝️
Belated Birthday Greetings! I’m happy you made this podcast to share all the yarn and birthday gifts. It’s so nice to know you are so loved and appreciated. I’m using Turtle Purl yarn for the JoMo socks. The yarn is scrumptious and the pattern is so much fun to knit. Take good care! ❤ Terry
A joy to watch as always. Happy birthday! Love the "please hold the line" or something like that, when you forgot a name. I do this with Hubby too, except I say "please hold", and hum some hold music whilst trying to recall some information. Gives us a giggle. 😊
Hope you had a great birthday, Ruth. You certainly seemed to be enjoying it and it was lovely to see all your beautiful presents. God bless and have a safe trip to Scotland and Northern Ireland. Looking forward to hearing all about it in due course 😘
Happiest birthday lovely Ruth!! I just loved all your lovely gifts and chatting about your visit with Jo and Rachel. Much love and blessings from South Africa

Happy, happy birthday, Ruth. You are loved and admired by many! You bring so much joy and many, many smiles. Love your yarn choices for The Richhill Shawl, and am excited to see it knit up. My cousin lives in the family homestead in Richhill, so I am off to the Post Office today to send it to her. Have a lovely holiday in Scotland and Northern Ireland. But hurry back to us - we will miss you! Sending Irish hugs from Canada.

God Bless you this Easter as you celebrate Resurrection Sunday! Enjoyed your podcast! Happy Birthday 🎂! You share a birthday with our 11 year old grandson!
Happy Birthday Ruth. I loved seeing all of your beautiful gifts. It’s a testament to how much you are loved by your family, friends, and fans. 💛 Your girls getaway with Rachel and Jo sounds like it was completely fabulous! So happy for you.
Happy Birthday Ruth. I hope you have a wonderful time in Edinburgh. It took us nearly as long as you. 10 hours driving. But it was well worth it we thought. I didn’t get to Kathy’s knits but loved Be Inspired. Jam packed with soo many gorgeous yarns. I expect you have been before. I went to Ginger twist and Be Inspired while we were there. It is interesting to hear about no frills knitting in Bristol thank you. That isn’t too far from me (30-40mins) and i have made a mental note to go and have a mouch around there someday soon. Happy Easter to you and yours x
Happy birthday, dear Ruth, and safe travels. Here in my part of Canada we've had no winter really, but are ready for Spring. As I'm watching, I'm casting on a new colour-work sweater using John Arbon Yarnadelic....I can't get over the feeling of this yarn. Anything by John Arbon would be my desert island yarn! I've recently knit socks with the same AllSorts yarn that you have...so much fun. I'm now knitting the Fairground socks by the Bakery Bears....I wish I'd known how much I would enjoy this pattern before knitting the AllSorts Of Fun socks....wonderful pattern for using self-striping yarn ❤
Happy day, healthy year. Looks like you are in a purple phase. Love the different hues of purple. I also bought Amy Palko’ s Thegither cowl and am using navy, yellow/gold and cream colors of yarn. 😊
Your sweater and your cowl are just stunning together! I write this on Saturday and it's my birthday, which I celebrated by purchasing myself an orchid and a sweater quantity of yarn. When I was going through menopause I would go to sleep and then wake about 2 am and be awake for a couple of hours. This lasted for maybe a year and then it stopped, so I hope you pass through this phase asap. Your trip sounds wonderful! Safe travels!
That frog made me smile/ and my heart sing! I want to see that frog (Mothers Day gift) hanging on the grate behind you…… on every podcast! Loved it! Please and Thank You ! Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday Ruth!!! you look so pretty with that sweater and shawl.....the colors look so nice on you. That frog is just SO adorable!!! have a wonderful and blessed trip
Happy Birthday Ruth! What a fun video, it was just what I needed after a trying day at work! What lovely gifts and lovely purchases. Love the gift from your talented daughter! May you and your family have a glorious Easter. God Bless
Happy Birthday🎉 and Happy Easter, Ruth! Enjoy your travels to visit family. I’m being selfish but I will miss your sunny, friendly and informative vlogs!
🎶Happy Birthday🎶 Ruth! Have a wonderful birthday and a lovely Easter! I sang in a lovely Palms Sunday service at my church St Charles Avenue Presbyterian Church in New Orleans LA. It was a beautiful Requiem by Mack Wilberg with Orchestra.(the church has a TH-cam channel that live streams and podcasts) and I will be singing in a Maundy Thursday service and then on Easter Sunday!Lots of music! I’ve always said I get more from the music at church than any sermon!I loved every minute of your podcast!I was so happy when I saw the pics on Instagram of you with Rachel and Jo from Twinset and Purl!What a wonderful trip.The yarns, project bags and other goodies were beautiful. I ordered yarn for the Ruth shawl yesterday, a lovely pale yellow and light lavender.The colors reminded me somewhat of matching Easter outfits I made for my daughter and myself many,many years ago.Lovely old English hand smocked yellow peasant blouses and lavender skirts. I am knitting the Salty Air Tee right now and have the 2nd Pine Forest Stag sock on the needles, have to say it’s taken a backseat to the Tee right now! Safe travels to Scotland and Ireland! Can’t wait for your next podcast!💗💗🧶🧶
Hope you had a wonderful birthday!!! So great that you were able to visit with Jo and Rachel! I bet it was a terrific time. Lots of lovely yarn too! Hope you have safe travels and make good memories with your family.💛
