    My goodness! Your giveaways are so generous! Love your giving heart. Congratulations to the winners! You have inspired me to purchase 2 patterns today. I already have the yarn and I can't wait to cast on both the Tolsta Tee and the Felix Cardigan!

      I hope you make it back here some time, i will definitely be back to Canada, my husband is already planning our next trip. I loved Canada and there is so much more to explore, unlike NZ it is such a big country.

    Really lovely podcast. I so enjoyed listening about your travels and all the beautiful yarns you purchased.😮We live about 20 mins or so from the entrance of Algonquin Park in a rural area just outside of Huntsville. We love it here. Don't see many bears but the odd moose in the road at dusk.

    Your trip sounded wonderful Lisa. I follow Little Big Knits too and watched one of Selma’s podcasts while you were away. I was delighted to see you waving in the background of her video of her visit to the Knitting Loft in Toronto. 😄

    Thanks for sharing your trip! I really enjoyed seeing all your purchases and your pictures. I live in Ohio USA so have been to Niagara Falls many times as it is about a 5 hour drive from home. We prefer the Canadian view so we usually cross the border to stay overnight. Absolutely stunning!

    Lisa I just love your Jennifer Steingass sweater. I was with you when you bought James yarn and you have so enhanced it. James is our keynote speaker at Wai Knit Retreat this Saturday

      @UnwindandKnitwithMe  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you Sandy, it turned out so good, i'm really happy with it, you were also with me when i bought the main colour from Wellington last year. . Say hello to James and the ladies from your group, have a great retreat.

    Hi Lisa, I really enjoyed this episode learning about your trip to Canada and seeing all your purchases.
    You mentioned at one point a yarn called CaMaRose. This is by a Danish designer - the yarn named after her children I think. If you would like to learn more about this yarn and designer Fruity Knitting did an episode with her - Episode 141.
    Also, I have made the Felix Cardigan and love it. I used an 8ply yarn that I had in stash on 6mm needles instead of 4mm - didn't get gauge of course, 17st/10cm instead of 14st/10cm, so did larger size and made it longer, not boxy - but it is so comfortable, my go-to cardi.
    Best wishes,
    Kristine

    • @UnwindandKnitwithMe

      Thank you for sharing and i will check out Fruity knitting.

    Hi Lisa what a brilliant episode. Absolutely loved hearing about your trip and seeing your purchases and new patterns. As always lots of notes jotted down and it particular that bind off you mentioned.
    I'm still recovering from my trip home to New Zealand. Came back with the dreaded 100 day cough! Already planning next trip. See you in early 2026!

    • @UnwindandKnitwithMe

    Hello from Toronto. I was exhausted after attending Knit City on Saturday and will be more measured next time. It was a much larger show than Montreal last year. I went to the Knitting Loft on Sunday and picked up pink yarn for a shawl so I still ended up with more yarn. I agree with your recommendation to make the effort to attend knitting shows, but I will pace myself better next time as I also took a class on both Friday and Saturday. Love your pinks.

    • @UnwindandKnitwithMe
      @UnwindandKnitwithMe  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It was the biggest show I have been to and I also attended both classes on Friday and Saturday nights. I loved every minute of my weekend there.

    Lisa, youtube "introduced" you to me today, and I'm so glad! I live in Southern Ontario, Canada, so it was really fun to listen to you describe your recent trip! Sorry to hear that you had covid, but I hope you enjoyed your trip. Wish I'd met you while you were here. I've subscribed now, so I look forward to enjoying your future episodes! ❤

    Welcome home Lisa, happy to see all your pics and crafty goodness from overseas.
    Not bored at all, I wound my own acquisitions while watching. Best wishes from Perth, Western Australia and the rather winter weather here, must get back to knitting my blanket.

    It was so nice meeting you and your friend at Knit City. I live in Hamilton and used to live in Toronto and I've never been to the Knitting Loft....I KNOW! Do you recall the store you went to in Hamilton? I'm sorry that you got sick, but glad you got to enjoy some of the sites. I've grown up going to Niagara Falls and it has lost it's allure. But i'm glad that you loved it! Maybe I'll see you one day in New Zealand.

    • @UnwindandKnitwithMe
      @UnwindandKnitwithMe  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I think the Hamilton store was "Hand Knit Yarn Studio" I hope you get to visit our beautiful country one day

    Hi Lisa, Thanks for that very "meaty" episode. Your pink Tolsta is just gorgeous. It will look stunning on you, nice to see you getting into brighter colours. I love the Tolsta, Im about to make a long sleeve one. Your holiday looked like an amazing feast! Im looking forward to seeing you knit up all that delicious wool you bought. Sorry to hear you had covid while away. Ps: How are my Jandle Progress markers going ?? Im happy to just buy the jandles and make them myself if thats easier? Thanks again for this big, fast episode 😁

    I saw some of the photos on Instagram of your trip to Canada and it looks like you had a super time. It will take a while to settle back home.
    Thank you for the cable cast off tip. I’ve just got to a cast off on my jumper and thought I’d try it out. It looks really good. ❤
    I love your jumper you are wearing, it’s such a shame you feel you can’t stand up and demonstrate it.

    What a trip! I loved the skein with the sparkles. Are you able to get that?

    • @UnwindandKnitwithMe
      @UnwindandKnitwithMe  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I don't think so, although i have not made many enquiries, I will look into it a bit further. I have wanted it for a long time but it was a long way to go for sparkle. I will see what i can do.
