Don't worry about the background noise it's not as loud to us as it is to you. Kids make noise that's life. I like your knitting.
Very exciting news about the sheep! It was really interesting to hear about all the things you considered when choosing a breed. Fin sounds perfect. Also, side note, the kids having fun in the background didn’t bother me one bit. It’s just the sounds of a happy home ☺️
Congratulations on the flock of sheep. That is really exciting! 🎉
Your knitting is gorgeous. Congrats on being a future shepherdess. 🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏🐑
I love how your podcasts relax me but also gets me excited for the new patterns coming out. Just ordered quince & co for the lumi light and just received my order of manchelopis so I am ready for that one too. Whenever you publish it.❤
Beautiful knits. Hey kids are kids. Lol. Enjoyed watching. Keep creating those beautiful designs 😊
Hi! I love the children cheering in the back room! Please do t worry about that ! I just found you on TH-cam and a great episode !
I always learn so much in your podcasts and I love the real life sounds in the background 😊 I can’t wait for the My Fletching to release! I was working on a sport weight sweater but didn’t enjoy the process so I’ll be frogging it and saving the yarn when your pattern releases!
Love the simplicity of your upcoming shawl. Don’t like pointed shawls or ponchos. Hope someday you will think about a simple vest pattern. I’m happy that you and your family will have sheep in your future.
I’m signing up for the newsletter so I can get the My Fletching pattern asap :). I LOVE your designs, the natural yarns and colors are so beautiful.
I love that you put it "he lives at full volume." I have 2 kids who live at full volume 😂
I'm looking forward to that beautiful shawl pattern! Sheep! Fabulous news. It will be a real adventure for your family and the yarn possiblities are wonderful.
Hello Jennifer, the TH-cam algorithms seem to be working as I just discovered your channel and designs after they were recommended to me. Your designs are so beautiful and thoughtful a I immediately signed up for your newsletter. I’m base in the UK and actively seek out and support small breed specific producers so am really looking forward to your adventures with your Fin sheep. They sound like the perfect breed for you and your family. Thanks Jo
PS I’m off to check out your video about steaming Pom Poms as i sounds like it could be a game changer.
Hello from Spain. I just love everything in this video (the new designs, the new project on the sheeps, the kids in the background, the discounts….). XXXOOOXXX
love your colourwork hat🤎🤍🤎
Beautiful knitting, beautiful designs, as always, lovely things that you share. Gorgeous footage at the end as well!
Sheep! Very exciting news! Are you going to learn to spin, as well? It's a wonderful pastime, and knitting with yarn you made yourself is one of the most satisfying things. Spinning from your own sheep will amplify the satifaction!
Lovely catchup, thank you, Jessica. Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
I look forward to seeing your new shawl pattern!
And I’m very excited for you and your family to become sheep farmers! Maybe you will need a puppy also ☺
Another fabulous podcast! You’re lucky to have a husband who is on the same page… i’m already looking forward to watching the sheep
farm evolve! 🐑🐑🐑👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Really excited for your new patterns! I have started my first colorwork thanks to you with the Blizzard, so now I'm really looking forward to knitting more colorwork designed by you. My Forest book is in the mail, and can't wait to knit more of your patterns :)
Jana (Yaana), of Finnish Knitting Stories is a great podcast on TH-cam. She loves her Finnish yarn and has a store, as well.
Really love your knitting patterns; but have never knit color-work. Will subscribe to your newsletter and purchase a pattern. Thanks!
Sounds like they are having fun! 8-)
Hello there, I am sending another message as I tried to message you before but I didn't hear back and I know you are a very busy mom and you have your designing business so you have no time to spare but I purchased all your patterns in Forest and also the childs book version of that one as well. I also bought Lumi on Ravelry but my pattern does not have the little hearts in the crown decreases which I would like so can I get an update of that pattern with those included?? Also I cannot find Lumi Light anywhere to purchase so I am frustrated about that too. If you could please let me know I would be very grateful. I don't know how else to contact you other than on here! I think I sent you a message on Ravelry but I know a lot of people don't use Ravelry.
Thank you so much!
Hi Leslie! The best way to get ahold of me is to email me. My email address is jessicamknits@gmail.com just for future reference. Thank you so much for buying my books! The Lumi pattern currently out is the worsted weight version. Lumi Light is the one I showed off in this episode. The pattern for Lumi Light is currently in test knitting and will be out on the Winter Solstice. Lumi (the worsted weight version) does not have all the little hearts in the crown decreases. It ended up being too tall for all that so I decided to do it in fingering weight so that I could include all of that!
