:: Until the 30th April 2023 all money raised through this YT channel went directly to my sons previous special needs school. From May onward I will support the school in a different way that’s less sporadic through the help of Patreon::
My son, Bill, went to gorgeous, tiny, little special needs school for gorgeous special children. Bill and his friends there all need just a little more care, attention, love and guidance to help them access friendships and education. Bill has autism (and a variety of other issues such as Sensory Processing Disorder, ADD, Dyspraxia, Global Developmental Delay and Klinefelters Syndrome) and most of his school mates have similar challenges as well as Dyslexia across the board. Bill's school is woefully underfunded for a variety of reasons that would take pages of text to explain. The teachers aren't well paid yet they are constantly buying supplies the children need that most pupils don't require; such as pen grips and fiddle toys to aid concentration etc...I have been fundraising for a few years now and with your help have managed to help subsidise school trips, buy sensory room equipment, Occupational Therapy equipment, outdoor tables and chairs, a trampoline...and a mini bus!! # billsspecialbus 🤩 All this fundraising helps a phenomenal school that has given so many children a future they would not have been able to access. Thank you so much for any kind of support you give us.
The Half and Half Wrap colour choice is a stunner, you made a statement with it.
Very bold and I love it!!!
Your Half & Half Triangle Wrap - this is the most beautiful Colour Combination I've ever seen 😃😍😍😍😍 love it soooo much, need to cast on one HHWrap with just these colours 🤗☺️
Thank you so much! You’re making me like it all the more!
Omg the colors of your half and half……… 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍. I am so enraptured with them!!! And then paired with your eye color and hair highlights???? Absolutely stunning!! This color combo is how going on my list of ones I want to make.
😮 I think the colour combo for your half and half is my favourite!! Might have to shamelessly copy 😂. Its just looks so lush and squishy!
Is it really! Oh well you have made me like it all the more now you said you’ll copy. How fickle am I?!
Awe Gayna your half and half shawl is lovely. Thank you for sharing
I love the colours X
By girl! Great question over on patreon. Remind me to answer you with my best knitting tips. I have one big tip to share, though most people don’t like it 🤪😜😝
I’m in love with that shawl 😍 those two colours 😍
I was wondering if I liked them after all but I think I do and it is lovely to wear now I have blocked it 😍
Hi Gayna, I’m so happy to hear that you’ll be doing April VLOGS!!!
Those colors are beautiful together on your Half and Half
Your shawl is beautiful, both colors compliment you very well. I am playing catch-up on videos and I am grateful for your channel. You are a very bright light and bring much joy to those of us who watch. I will continue to watch you here, and thank you for staying. I also want you to know that I congratulate you on expanding your channel, I wish you nothing but the best!
Oh my goodness you and Alibobs for April vlogs - bliss!!! xxx
Don't answer scammers please
Yay for April vlogs! Xxx
Oh that’s wonderful news Cuckoo! April vlogs to look forward too..😁👏🫶🏻
I love your half and half shawl… especially the mustardy yellow colour, you’ve also kind of enabled me with showing your wild posy jumper…I’ve had some plutolopi in my stash in a purple heather colour and I think the wild posy jumper would be perfect 🙌 ( thank you! 😉)
oh and I’ve also cast on my second half and half shawl in the cream and cinnamon, it had to be done! 😂 Happy knitting lovely, sending hugs from Derbyshire Becxx❤
Your half and half both sound lovely. And I wonder if you have knitted the wild posy by now x
Oh - daily vlogs with a gardening and knitting theme (Lovely) going into Autumn here so I will live vicariously through your garden (hope theres some veges) Thanks Gayna
So excited for your daily blogs! You are so fresh and fun!
That’s a lovely thing to say! Thank you xxx
Ganya, I so much enjoy your videos, you make me smile and I laugh out loud at some moments. ❤ You, too!
Beautiful Half and Half!! Thank you for showing us your knitting!
It’s lovely to have interested people to share these things with. Thank you for being here xxx
I really enjoy your videos. They put a smile on my face, so thank you! I will look forward to your April Vlogs and hopefully it will give me a reason to get some things done in my garden too. Look after yourself. x
I’m going to need all the encouragement to get out there and at the same time I need to stop myself from having over ambitious plans 🥴
i have enjoyed your videos for about a year now and will continue to stay. Sorry for the ones lost due to Patrion status. your family is delightful and your knitting inspires me.
What a gorgeous thumbnail ❤
Awww thank you! It took me ages to find a shot that looked ok from the footage but I was pleased with the colour match I found for the text. 🤩
Gayna, thank you for spending sometime chatting to us. I so enjoy your vlogs and your knits are beautiful. I must say I am so jealous of your early gardening season. There is still snow on the ground and it's -8 celius tonight. I won't be putting any tomatoes out till the end of May. Looking forward to April vlogs,
Will you have higher temperatures and more consistent sunshine than us though? I’d rather have a smaller but more reliable season. Sometimes we put in our tomatoes in early April and still don’t get any to pick till mid July! Mind you it is nice to be able to spread out the work xxx
@@talesfromcuckooland The temperature will go up eventually and we will have 17 hours of daylight with big blue skies. By the end of May we can safely plant in the ground. It makes us all a little plant crazy! :)
Gayna I am so happy I found you here. You are such a inspiration to many. I especially love that you are truly yourself and those that are here admire your energy and kindness. I usually don’t comment but I feel like you have became a friend through the webs.
Hi Gayna! I’m back from a three week vacation and so happy to find your smiling podcast waiting for me upon return. Love the half and half wrap! ❤️🧶🌟
Don't answer scammers please
I hope the rested feeling stays with you after your vacation. I’m sorry the scammers messaged you. Thankfully we have Glorimar looking out for us. I have blocked the scammers again. X
Hello 👋🏻 stumbled upon your podcast today. Don’t know how you’ve hid for so long. I enjoyed your content . Will keep watching. You have a beautiful smile. 😊 I love your personality 😅
You found me! Hurrah! Isn’t it funny how one day you stumble across a channel you have never heard of before and realise it’s been around ages. It happens to me too and the. I hear it mentioned everywhere. I wonder if that’ll happen to you too. X
Lovely to see you Gayna; I love your shawl - it looks fab😊. I'm looking forward to your April vlogs
Love the colors of your jumper and wrap. Absolutely beautiful 💙🧡
Don't answer scammers please
Thank you! I’m wavering between liking and not being too sure about the colours. Sorry the scammers messaged you. I’ve blocked them yet again x
Hi Gayna, oh I love your half and half wrap. I’m a big fan of vanilla socks, sometimes the yarn just calls for a plain old vanilla sock. Best regards to you and your family 🤗🧶💕
So glad to hear there will be vlogs. I hung around to see if there would be any more they are so enjoyable and entertaining.
@ONTalesFromCuckooLand didn’t know your on telegram odd way to contact thinking you been hacked if i won anything please offer another way of contacting you i cant find an email of this is real LMK
Yes there was never any question of me deserting TH-cam. I love it here with you guys x
Hi Gayna. I’m very far behind in my Vlog watching. Just wanted to say that your half ‘n’ half shawl is absolutely beautiful. Both colours look gorgeous on you. The blue makes your eyes pop! You’ve made me want to cast one on. 😊❤
It’s a lively thing to have on the go when you want some mindless knitting. I really enjoyed it but it is a lot of plain old knit stitch…but that’s my favourite.
I absolutely love the smell of good clean wool. It's so sheepy and wonderful. I look forward to seeing your sweater as it comes along, it sounds like a lovely idea. April is my birthday month so I'm excited to watch your April Vlogs (and Little Drops of Wonderful).
There is something a bit special about washed wool. I find it a very comforting whiff!
@@talesfromcuckooland I used to work in a couple different yarn stores and I would always sniff the wool when it came in. My bosses thought I was nuts 🤣.
Hello Mi Lady. I love your smile and videos( sh sh Toby, Gayna are filming 😂) I can’t wait for April, two of my favorites are making daily Vlogs 👏🙏👋😘🌹🤩
Don't answer the prize scammers please
Hello mi lovely! Sorry the scammers messaged you. The horrid people. Thankfully Glorimar is looking out for us. And I’ve blocked the scammers again. X
@@talesfromcuckooland it’s okay mi lady, I knew it wasn’t you. 😘🙏😜❤️
Hi Gayna, I never miss a video or a vlog. You continue to be a ray of sunshine and I truly enjoy spending time with you. It’s like we’ve had a chat. Looking forward to more. Take good care. Your knitting is gorgeous btw.
Gayna love your shawl; what a beautiful job you did!
Don't answer scammers please
Thank you! I’m really enjoying wearing it now it’s blocked and softened up. Sorry about the scammers messaging you here. Xx
You are should a lovely person. Thanks for doing your videos. I truly enjoy them
I love your videos 😊can’t wait for April vlogs I can’t understand why people would unsubscribe from your channel it’s their loss x
😍Lovely as always 🥰
I don't have any garden space, so I love garden videos. And, of course, I enjoy spending time with you. Looks like a lovely April 😀
Looking forward to April vlogs and seeing what goes on in the garden. There is always such a sense of fun and enthusiasm and I look forward to watching more - it’s always super to see a new one appear.
I need to ramp up my enthusiasm for the gardening. But it’s raining so it can wait another day 😂
Hello Gayna, what a lovely podcast. I can’t wait to see what you’re doing in your utility room. I’ve been dallying over painting our downstairs loo…hopefully you’ll inspire me with that as well as everything else. Can’t wait for the April vlogs ❤ Last year I visited the Alhampton, Somerset, open gardens and looked around Charles Dowding’s ‘no dig’ garden - mainly vegetables but a principle that seems to allow you to spend more time enjoying the garden 👍 I don’t know how you find the time to knit and sew as much as you do - I’m on ‘sleeve island’ at the moment and resisting the urge to cast on something else 😂
I live so close to Alhampton, I should get myself down there. Are you local? I’m still painting a lot. There’s been quite a bit to get done but it’s looking so good now. I wish I had more time to knit but maybe if I did I would tire of it. I think it looks like I knit more than I do, that’s the nature of edited videos. Try to enjoy sleeve island, I rather like holidaying there 🏝️
I live on Exmoor, right on the border with Devon. But we have friends in Ditcheat, next to Alhampton, so went to the open gardens. I’m off sleeve island and moved on to the body of the jumper - it’s another of Jennifer Steingass’s (Telja) - loving it so far ❤ Have a lovely evening 🥂 xx
Shawl just beautiful
Don't answer the prize scammers please
The wrap is absolutely beautiful and colors look very good on you.
April vlogs! Thank you - I really enjoy those 💕
Gayna, So good to get to see your recent makes! The colors of your shawl are stunning. I look forward to seeing how the sweater goes, that construction looks very interesting. I don't always comment on your videos but I ALWAYS watch them and give you a thumbs up!! Yay for April Vlogs!!
Nice finishing! I did a round up of unfinished projects hiding around the family room, have been purging and rearranging rooms preparing for window replacements, starting yard and garden work, brooding 6 chicks in my bathroom, and trying to strike some balance in my life! Not much snow but it seems time is flying while it has simultaneously been a long slog of a winter. There is a glitch in the matrix.
Gayna, your half and half colors look beautiful on you, I love the mustard. We’re still waiting for spring to arrive here in Massachusetts, so I’m looking forward to your garden videos, thank you for sharing!
Don't answer scammers please
I think we have relapsed into winter here again too. I don’t mind too much but I feel bad for those who have been waiting and wishing for spring.
I am looking forward to April vlogs. I look forward to seeing your sweater. It sounds like it is going to be so lovely.
Hi Gayna, lovely to see you again
Don't answer the prize scammers please
Pssst...adore your Half and Half Wrap, my goodness this 2 coulors together are a winner💛🦋💛
I love the colours of your shawl, Gayna. I understand all about hunting for words.....I'm with you all the way😂
Hi Gayna. I just love the colour combination of your wrap, it looks gorgeous. Looking forward to your April vlogs. 🥰
I love the colour combo in your half and half. I think I need a jumper in this colours.
Enjoyed your video as usual and looking forward to April vlogs - hooray! xx

Blinking scammers! Sorry you got messaged by them Nikki. Luckily Glorimar is looking out for us all xxx
@@talesfromcuckoolandLove ya Nancy Drew
@@talesfromcuckooland lol it’s the 3rd or 4th time this past month! Tele’gram bots ought to take a long leap off a short cliff! 💕 I just ignore them
Absolutely love the colors you chose for your half and half wrap stunning
Love the half triangle wrap on you, looks fabulous ❤
So lovely as always. I’m absolutely in love with your dress!
I just love your wrap. The stitch definition is stunning. ❤️
I absolutely love the colours of yours jumper! Beautiful!
Lovely more knitting goodness!
You always pick lovely things to make, lovely colours in the shawl
Wilf is whooping it up 😹 I was looking at him playing the Saxophone 🎷 yesterday in your video from last year 🤗😘🥰😻
This old stalwart is going no where 🤪I love dropping in on your podcasts & catching up yippee April vlogs what a treat 🥰
I love the idea of your embroidered jumper
I met a Dutch lady last Saturday at “ East Anglian Yarn Fest “ who had done something similar but on a yolk jumper & it was like little # symbols across the top but
your flower idea appeals more so looking forward to seeing your progress
See you soon 🥰
I'm over the moon that you are doing april vlogs :) whoohoo! I so enjoy your pod/vlog
Oh Gayna you make me smile and you inspire me with all of your makes and DYI projects!!! ❤
I’m wild about the colors of your half and half! So beautiful!!❤
Yay, you're back 😀 Soooo looking forward to the April Vlogs, I love a daily dose of Gayna 👍 Sweater and shawl looking lovely. BTW Your skin and eyeshadow look amazing in this (I don't mean they don't normally 😛 they just look even better than normal oh no hope I haven't dug myself a hole 😋. Can't wait for the utility reveal.
Oo yay for April vlogs! Looking forward to it already. Loved all your makes particularly that gorgeous shawl. That’s on my to make list ❤
You are one of my fave podcasters and I am definitely staying with you. So sorry I am not able to do your patreon but when I am able you will be my first choice.
I wear my half and half as a shawl and hold it together in the front with a hand crafted, hammered silver pin whose head is shaped like a bolt of lightening. ( I purchased in Uruguay) years ago.
The pin is very long - not to be worn at the airport😜
It does the job of holding the shawl together, I have had many compliments wearing the wrap this way.
Hope you find a favorite way of wearing yours!
Your pin sounds ideal and has reminded me I have a wooden thing somewhere. Oh don’t worry about Patreon, there’ll still be the same stuff going on here too xxx
Oh hurrah! I'm so glad you're planning April vlogs! I do so enjoy your vlog series. I really love the idea of your embroidered sweater. I think it is a beautiful idea. I've been seeing a few different embroidered sweaters recently and it has made me toy with the idea of making one for myself, so I'm extra excited to see yours slowly grow. 🥰
Thank you Gayna, a joy as always. Looking forward to the April vlogs.
The scammers are out in force again! There are no prizes being given away at present on my channel. Report them! Their accounts have stolen my profile photo but are called something like “Telegram….” They are all over the knitting community, not just my channel so do not respond to any comment on any other channel that say you have won a prize unless you are sure it’s the creator and not a scam. I’m sorry about this. I’m fielding them and blocking as much as I can. Xxx
I love the colours of your Half and Half Shawl! And I’m very much looking forward to watching your April vlogs! ❤
Your half and half wrap is beautiful, the colours are fab.🤗🧶💐
I can’t wait for April my birthday is the 3rd and your videos- now that’s a great birthday! 😘🤗🥰🙌🙌🙌💙💛💙
Gayna, your podcasts and vlogs are always such a treat. Looking forward to April! 💕 Oh, and I love the idea of the I-cord edge on the wrap. It looks so finished! Now I need to make one like that. 😊
Don't answer scammers please
I liked the icord edge too. Someone recommended I do it and I’m glad I listened. I’m sorry about the scammers messaging you here. I have blocked them now. Xxx
@@talesfromcuckooland and I'm sorry you have to deal with scammers! It's so ridiculous.
So lovely to spend some time with you - I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - you have a very calming manner - the perfect watch to end a very busy week 🥰 feeling excited for the April vlogs xx
Ooooh, so looking forward to the April vlogs. I think adding those few cms to the sleeves and bottom of that jumper has made it look really flattering - and so cosy! Love and hugs. X
Hi Gayna! I’m a stalwart! Always love to see you and will now look forward to April dailies too! Love your two colour wrap and the bind off is so classic. Really love it. Hope the decorating is going well and we shall soon get a tour of your new utility room. You really don’t need to do a giveaway (although I’m sure your pottery will be gorgeous) cos most of us, I suspect, ain’t going anywhere! Lots of love from WW xxx
Lovely podcast - thank you! Enjoy your decorating! Looking forward to hearing about your gardening in your April vlogs 🙂
Lovely episode - as always ❤️
Looking forward to the april vlogs.
Waaay behind on any gardening here to - like what you said about enjoying rather than endure. Think I will try the same approach 😊👍
My focus is going to be on feeding the soil and tidying things rather than heavy graft gardening. Hoping to just sit and enjoy.
@@talesfromcuckooland sounds like a good idea 😊👍
Dear Gayna, it is a pleasure to watch your vlogs, thank you for sharing your beautifully made knits!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate you taking the time to say this to me 😊
Lovely to see you and catch up from across the pond! I was in the garden today prepping my raised beds for the season (I live at the beach, East Coast and have very little land). You're such an accomplished knitter and I love when you talk about them, dissect them and put them back together again! Can't wait to see you in April!
hooray for April vlogs!
Yay! Looking forward to some April vlogs 😊xxx
Aww brilliant 😀Knitting, gardening & daily vlogs, you've ticked all the boxes Gayna. Thank you😍Xx
Making my half& half wraps a joy ❤
Don't answer scammers please
I’m so sorry about that scammers. They are much faster than me. Thank you for helping me out Glor. Enjoy your wrap Elizabeth xxx
The colours of your half and half shawl suit you really well. So glad it worked out for you after blocking 😊
Yay! I adore your vlogs! 🏵
Hi beautiful 💜
I have been behind on everyone's videos, 1.5 years behind, to the point that I gave up and decided to start afresh. Except for your videos. I'm going to work my way backwards through them. And I can't tell you how happy I am that that's what I decided to do! That way I can say this sooner rather than later -
I am not going anywhere!! I do not understand why people would leave just because you started a patreon account... (Makes me think of the TLC song - Case of the Fake People LOL) You are one of my favorite people and I cannot tell you how much watching you brings me joy and laughter!! I can't wait for April!! Hopefully I'll be able to keep up. But if not it will still be there for my quiet moments!💜
I love you!!!! You are a beautiful person inside and out!! 💜
Don't answer scammers please,😮
@@glorimarcruz7824 I don't!! 💜
You little sweetheart. What I lovely comment to read as I field all these odious scammers. Talk about annoying time suckers!! I’m some ways I’m glad some people left, I can be more freely me with out the naysayers and those who did stick around after I explained I’m grateful to still have. I hope you don’t get sick of me during your video catch ups! Xxx
Hi Gayna! I'm really looking forward to your April vlogs! Thanks for sharing your lovely knits and all the stories about them. I have a crazy request that actually might be fodder for one of your vlogs - your makeup always looks so lovely. Would you consider doing a "get ready with me"? I know it may seem silly and you don't really like to focus on your looks - but you are a very pretty woman - even though you might not agree or want the attention. Anyway - just a thought! I enjoy seeing the boys and it's kind of sad they're all getting so grown up. See you in April!! (PS - I now watch all my YT on my big screen TV and had to come back to my laptop to reply - that's how much I like you!!)
She actually has one of those get ready with me where she does her makeup. th-cam.com/video/mZQJ4TNl37I/w-d-xo.html
But I wouldn't mind her doing it again :)
I will do one of those this April. Don’t let me forget. I have simplified things even more now and found a foundation that’s eco and clean and really really good too, I want to spread the word about that. But I’m the mean time, Maria has dug up an old one you can have a peep at. There’s no product recommendations there though, just speeded up footage of me slapping it all on. 😝
Will always be here for you Gayna!
Still here. I listen quietly on my own. Thank you for all you do. xx
I love to escape with a podcast. It’s a peaceful time for me xxx
Excited for your April blogs, watching you is such an encouragement.
I hope I won’t be boring. We are away in France the first two weeks so I fear I’ll not have a lot to share 🥹
@@talesfromcuckooland I will be living vicariously 🤣 I always feel like I am visiting a girlfriend when I watch your podcast. You enjoy yourself so we enjoy it too!
Gayna you really don't have to thank us. We get a lot of enjoyment following your ups and downs and that is treat enough xx
Ooohh Gayna I love the half and half wrap and love the colours. The gold/mustard looks superb and I think will look really super with denim clothes.Look forward to seeing the progress with the accentuating crewneck and the embroidered flowers sound lovely. It was great to see you again.
I ended up abandoning that pattern. The shoulders looked funny and I was it enjoying the way the pattern was written and constructed. I’m doing Floof by skiendeer knits now and it’s so much better 😍
Your wrap is lovely, looking forward to April vlogs
Hi Lovely Gayna! So good to see you and catch up with your makes. Love your tree jumper, and wrap, beautiful colours, just what i would choose. I do hope you are ok, you seemed a little nervous today, sorry to hear people have left, nowt so strange as folk! I’ll still be here, so enjoy your company, and sharing in your everyday life, so looking forward to your April Vlogs and looking forward to seeing your utility, I bet it’s fab! Love & Hugs Cuckoo. Suze. ❤🧶🥰 xxx
Well done! You are a very inspiring podcaster for knitting projects which is much appreciated!
Don't answer scammers please
Thank you! I do love knitting things I know I’ll wear.
I’m sorry about the scammers messaging you here. I have blocked them now. Xxx
I always enjoy your vlogs and really appreciate that you take the time out of your busy family life to talk to us and show us your projects. I'm sorry you recently lost subscribers. I'll always be here. Looking forward to April vlogs and I do love gardening so happy to see your garden.
April tomorrow!! I am ready to go! Just hope there’s enough going on to make a decent video each day 😝
Hi Gayna, love your shawl absolutely beautiful.
Looking forward to your April blogs, know what you mean about motivation I really need some of that have been struggling for a little while, happens to us all at times just have to go with the flow.
My favourite time of year, has arrived, love autumn, lovely days and cooler nights.
Take care and hope you had a lovely mother's day 🌹🌹🌹
A woman of many talents, DIY, knitting, sewing and gardening! I’m looking forward to the April vlogs, especially the walks with Bunny so I can see spring unfolding in Somerset.
