No! You are not too old for this! We Boomers need more representation here on the knitting channels! So lovely to see someone I can completely identify with! Hoping to see lots of you! Shalom from Israel!
What a lovely thoughtful podcast! I’ll be spending time here catching up and then looking forward to new content alerts🌟. You’ve inspired me to step out from the hats scarves socks space and into the big sky of sweaters.
Three cheers for a septuagenarian podcaster! Some who looks like me. I, too, am trying to be more ecologically conscious in my yarn selection, including sourcing locally to minimize fossil fuel costs.
It’s lovely to find a podcast that fits with my age group 😃. I used straight needles & have just started in the round but I’m kinda intimidated about my direction in knitting isn’t going as fast as I would like. You have amazing knits thanks for sharing. I would like to also go over to more natural yarn. I’m spending time clearing my not so good yarn first due to affordability. I shall watch with great interest 🧶🤗🇬🇧
Zena, I'm looking at the Garter Marler Cardigan by Stephen West right now as a fun way to use up a bunch of my older yarn. Mixing in all the yarns might give some new life to those older, not so great yarns. Thanks for watching!
Hello from the westcoast of Canada So lovely to find you today as I knit my Emsworth. You're a natural, and such a warm presence! I'm loving seeing your projects and hearing what you have to say! Your Lunenburg is beautiful, knit in all those colours I gravitate towards as well!
Hi Kathy from NYS. So glad you popped up in my feed this morning. I too have been a knitter for 50+ years. Nice to see someone of my generation on TH-cam. Your knits are lovely. I hope you continue.
Hi Kathy. Thanks so much for podcasting. Enjoyed the episode very much. The sweater and the tam go together so well. Lovely work. 🌟 I am also in my 7th decade, live in Scotland and enjoy knitting. Best wishes. 🐑
I really enjoyed your podcast. I love your beautiful sweater & tam. I agree I don’t like the back of my neck exposed to the cold. Thanks from Scotland 🏴
I like the pantry idea too. The only yarn I've bought in the last several years has been a ball to make my partner a hat (had to be navy blue fingering, and I didn't have any), a few minis, and one skein from a destash. I'm determined to start stashing down, because I have a frightening amount of yarn. I really enjoyed your podcast, and I hope you keep going :) I'm glad you watch Selma - you would not believe how long it took us to convince her to start her own podcast!
I really enjoyed your chat, so interactive. I'm beginning my colourwork journey and l hope to learn a little from you. Absolutely gorgeous knits. You might be interested in Gary Smith, the Knitting Man from Cornwall England. Big hugs from N. Ireland xx
I've been following the Knitting Man for awhile on instagram, so on your suggestion I watched one of his episodes. I'm intrigued by how he does a Fair Isle vest free-style.
I've just stumbled across your channel and all I can say is it was lovely listening to you. You are definitely not too old and I look forward to seeing many more videos from you. Thank you :)
Hello- I really enjoyed your podcast. Your sweater you wore is beautiful. I have that in my queue so it’s nice to see your colors. I’m really partial to blues. Thank you for sharing with us! (I should say I live in Oregon and really take advantage of my local yarn stores here in Portland….it’s a knitters delight!)
Thanks to @evil.knits or miss evil knits here on you tube, I started to watch you and I enjoyed the podcast, so now you have a new follower from Belgium. Thank you to make this very natural podcast and by the way you are not to old for doing this.
I just discovered your podcast and was intrigued because I've purchased the Ranunculus pattern but haven't made one yet. I haven't even held two yarns together in all my dozens of projects! Your blue and gray colorways are definitely ones I adore! Your Ranunculus is really beautiful!
Thanks, Lynn! Holding two yarns together can be a great way to change gauge or to get a marled effect. You do have to make sure you aren't leaving one strand behind.

You're never too old, surely! I tuned in as I wanted to hear more about the Lunenburg which is on my list and I must start it before it gets bumped off the 'next' slot by something else .... again. Yours is lovely. Please keep going and thanks for talking at a reasonable speed. I followed every word - some of these younger folk speak far too quickly. Best regards from Cambridge, UK
If you join Andrea Mowrey’s newsletter she’ll offer % off of patterns quite often. My next project will be Stripes! I love yours and I love the tam. I seem to like browns and grays with blues and greens. And if you like cables, Thea Colman has lots of good patterns.
even tho this is dated 4 mo ago, i only received it in my feed today! What a wonderful chat, and it is so good to watch and listen to someone my own age! Your sweater and tam are so colorful and go so well with your beautiful hair! You mentioned that you knit in continental style... i use both hands also when i do colorwork, but i do struggle with continental purling. Would you please do a short how-to video on your method of purling? And, BTW, you are not too old to start podcasting! Looking forward to your next episodes
I enjoyed your podcast, I hope you'll keep going! I have found Ultra Alpaca to be a great workhorse yarn with minimal pilling or stretch. Two of my favorite sweaters are knit in it.
Thanks for the kind comments, Virginia. And I appreciate the information about Ultra Alpaca. I don't have easy local access to many non-superwash wools, especially in sweater quantities, and that wool/alpaca blend is so lovely.
Just happened upon your channel as I’m currently knitting the Lunenburg. Yours is just beautiful! What intrigued me about this episode was you preference of berets over beanies. I feel just the same as you and wonder if you could recommend a favorite beret pattern as I’d like to give it a try.

Thanks so much, Beth! I'm stalled out on the Emsworth over the fit issue, but want to return to it. Thanks for listening.
Please keep podcasting! You do a great job and I enjoy your content. It’s going to grow, I have no doubt!!
Dana, thanks for the encouragement!
What a lovely 1st podcast. You popped into feed and starting from beginning! Thanks for sharing
Thanks so much!
Love your sweater, colors are just beautiful on you! Have been enjoying your podcast, I grew up in Grants Pass.🤩💖
I enjoyed your podcast and look forward to seeing more of your lovely knits.

I so glad you said that about purling. I feel the same. I knit continental as well and go faster purling
You look fabulous in your beret, tam and sweater! 🤗
Thanks so much, Joy!
Too hot to be outside! Fun to sit and knit and watch your podcast.
What fun, Corinne! I'm watching someone else's podcast right now.
Love your podcast! You’ve inspired me to do the Andrea Mowry’s stripped sweater. We love the same colors.
Thanks,
Mary
Your color work is beautiful.

Just found your podcast and I enjoy your thoughtful style. Keep on sharing please! We need your perspective.
Thank you!
Just found you! I lived and taught in Corvallis and now live in Salem near my daughter and grandchildren. I hope to binge watch to catch up!
You are so close by, Denise! What's your favorite yarn store in Salem?

What a delightful podcast, love your knitting and your style.
Wow this was your first video…You’re a natural. Love your projects and look forward to catching up on your other videos. Keep em coming!
Thanks so much!
Hi Kathy! I just found your channel. This episode was so pleasant and delightful to watch! I'm going to look up that tam pattern. It's stunning!
Thanks so much!
So interesting! Enjoined very much. Love your advice and ideas.

I absolutely love Thea Colman's patterns! I need to get better with cables and then I want to knit Widow's Kiss.
That's a great looking sweater!
I totally enjoyed your podcast.
Thank you so much!
Wonderfull ! I love it
Awesome work! Thanks for sharing!
Great colour choices in your projects! I enjoyed your podcast and hope you will continue.
Thank you! I really enjoyed doing it, so will post another one soon.

Carol, I'm so glad you found me. I'll think about a short tutorial or I might find one that is better than I could do but shows how I do it.

"tettegouche" is French Canadian for "meeting place". Tettegouche State Park is in Minnesota on Lake Superior.
Thanks for sharing that, Robert.
I think it's specifically either New Brunswick or Manitoba. Franco-ontarian, and I've never heard of that! LOL
