Just found you for the first time. I love your mix of footage of walks interspersed with crafty goodness. Thank you do much for sharing. Hope your surgery went well and you are allowing yourself to rest enough!
You are an absolute delight and we are all wishing you a very positive healing experience. We will be waiting for you, sending prayers and blessings, keeping the kettle on and the fire in the stove. You are a precious soul and we are so grateful for your gentle grace in this challenging world.
There is nothing more peaceful and soothing than watching you draw and paint or watching you and Jack on your walks. Best wishes for a successful surgery and a quick, pain-free recovery. 💕🧶🧵
I’m so moved by the way you have been creating useful and beautiful clothing-for-strength, and new and improved undergarments, too. May you be steadied by your Makes, and by knowing that a chorus of people is cheering you on -through any lingering surgery-scaryfeelings and on toward recovery and renewal. 🌱
I hope your surgery went well. Sometimes we sail through it, sometimes we don't. A neighbour of mine sailed through abdominal surgery but when I had an emergency caesarean, the recovery was awful. It took weeks before I could stand up straight. Sitting, standing, lying on my back, lying on my side, walking, staying still, everything hurt, but we get over these things. It's all part of life's rich tapestry. I hope all went well and you are taking it easy and being kind to yourself. We'll all be here when you feel up to podcasting again. Best wishes, Diane.
Hi, Katie! What beautiful work on those commissions. You continue to inspire me. I'm always very happy when I see you have a new episode to watch. I'm so glad you are caring for yourself, not pressuring yourself and looking forward to resting. Oh, my goodness! The knickers! Fabulous. I wish you well. I hope you make a speedy and complete recovery.
Your walks on Dartmoor with lovely Jack are a joy! The musical accompaniment is perfect and the views are stunning. Lovely podcast Katie, so interesting to hear about all your projects. Sending good wishes for your surgery and healing hugs! I’m sure you will use your convalescing period wisely and I will look forward to more podcasts when you are able.x
Let me start by saying that it’s my first time here. (Via tiny fiber studio). I’m not even 15 minutes in, and wow. Maps, beautiful illustrations, plants, yarn, nature walks, tea, coloring books, cold water swimming (yes!!), hand crafted local ethics, natural dye, a love of vests, sewing, good taste in music and a musical voice to listen to! You are a person after my own heart!! Thank You for sharing your creativity and presence here! It’s very nice to “meet” You! Looking forward to more. Ok. Back to listening.
I just found your channel and I love it! I hope your surgery was uneventful and that you are recovering amongst the peace and serenity of your beautiful handiwork ❤️
Wishing you well with your upcoming surgery Katie and a speedy recovery. Take all the time that you need to heal as your health is the most important thing.
Just what I needed today - reduced my anxiousness by a significant degree. Wishing you a gentle and speedy recovery and we willl see you when you are ready. Hugs from Canada for you❤️
Thank you Katie as I really enjoyed your lovely podcast, your dear little Jack is so sweet and as for the lovely Dartmoor scenery that was beautiful as I know it so well. We used to live in Whitchurch. I wish you all the best with your surgery and feel sure that all will be well, take care. xx
I love watching your walks on the moors. My great grandfather was from Tavistock and I imagine him seeing them and perhaps having time to walk on them as well. Best of wishes on your surgery. Take good care of yourself
Good luck with the surgery and recovery Katie! I always wear something handmade when I have to go in for medical stuff, it makes me feel hugged and proud.
You are so lucky to do what you do as a job Katie. To wake up and create. To go for walks out in nature. My job is terribly stressful. Rush, rush, rush. People wanting things finished ‘yesterday’. Pressure, pressure, pressure. Anyway, I do try to be grateful for the small things in my life despite all this anxiety. It was nice to come home & watch your calming, inspiring and creative vlog - thank you 🧵✂️🧶
Dear Katie what a nice podcast. I am impresst, you wear exactly the colours of your envirement while walking trough Dartmoor. That is something only artists can make happen. Blessings to you for all to come.
The new dress looks so lovely on you Katie, no wonder you felt good in it on your hospital appointment. Wishing you all the best for your upcoming surgery and a speedy and gentle recovery. How great to have all these projects ready for you to work on when you get back home. Take good care. 🤗🙏🦕🦋☘
The new dress is adorable. The walks in the park with the music is just so relaxing nd lovely, Wishing you a speedy recovery and lots of lovely slow time.
Awe, I loved this podcast Katie. I used to be so scared of needles and surgery as well. But then life came along and presented me with 3 c-sections and 3 more surgeries to remove growths from scars which had formed inside my belly. The last surgery I had was in 2018, when they had to remove my right ovary and fallopian tube. But I cope with all of the surgeries well nowadays. I somehow breath differently when needles get inserted and I somehow can "leave" my body for a few seconds, if that makes any sense. It is hard to explain. I also always bless the hospital and the doctors who will be coming in contact with me. To bless is a miraculous and effective way to get the most wonderful results. A higher force will protect you and make it happen, so everything can turn out positive. It worked for me so well. I love the green dress and what a great idea to make these "knickers"! Great! I think I am going to try that as well. 2 years ago I made myself a few bathing suits and I am very happy with those too. :-) Katie, you also got me into embroidering again. Right now I am stitching a little squirrel. It sits on a pocket which will go on my new polka dot tunic I sewed a week ago. So, let me wish you a positve hospital and surgery experience and a good healing time as well. Take good care and huggs from Rose-Cottage, Schurwald Forest, Germany.
So happy to see your podcast alert today. It's been a trial of a morning so I'm looking forward to a cuppa while watching. Wishing you all the best with regards to your surgery. Hope you have a speedy recovery. All the best from Cumbria.
Sending you comforting and healing energy for your upcoming surgery and recovery. Your videos are always a wonderful break in my day and I truly appreciate the time and energy you give to create them. Salam wa sa’aadah 🌷🌈☮️
Dear Katie I have only recently discovered your podcast and I am charmed and delighted by it. I love the way you kiss Jack on the head as he sits on your lap! So endearing! My thoughts are with you as you have your surgery. Please take it easy as you recover. Know that there are literally thousands of people thinking of you and wishing you well including me.
Katie, thank you SO much for talking about THINKING about our knitting as a form of self care! I derive such comfort and joy from the planning of a project!! Good luck with your surgery! Take good care of yourself, and I'll see you (and Jack) on the other side. :)
Aww, Katie, wishing you all the best with your upcoming surgery. No doubt there will be some discomfort, but trust your body to heal and return to better health before too long. it does take time, so patience with oneself is a good thing. Keep your knitting close and all the other things that bring you comfort. Keeping you in my thoughts and sending healing energy.
I think you will find you will be sleeping alot while in the hospital and probably for a few days after getting home... and sleep is the best thing for healing! You will also be surprised at how little pain you may feel - the anesthetics are so effective and even after getting home some major surgeries just dont have much pain. Jack is so funny during walks, hes so small but wants to direct everything!!! Make sure you bring a warm sweater you can take on and off, and bring a shawl for your shoulders.We will all be sending you warm, healing thoughts Katie!
Don't fret abut feeling ill from the anesthetic. Your nurse will have medication ready should that happen. We will miss you. Healing hugs to you, Katie.
🤗 Best wishes to you Katie in your surgery and recovery. As others have said don’t hesitate to voice your concerns or questions to the medical people, they have helped many patients through difficult times and understand the “not knowing” feeling.
Hi, Katie, I'm new to your lovely podcast. Thank you for sharing your talents and countryside. Wishing you well for your surgery and a smooth restorative recovery. Take gentle care. Jack is adorable.
Katie, it was so good to see you today. It is always a pleasure to have a break in the day with you. I wish you all the best with your upcoming surgery and recovery. ❤️ I look forward to your next visit once you feel better. 😊
New subscriber here, so glad I found your channel, love the content and the walks in the National Park, very beautiful. You have probably had your surgery by this, I pray all went well for you and that your recovery is quick. Be gentle with yourself and loved the commissions you were involved with, congratulations. Looking forward to seeing more episodes and going back over past ones.
Ive just ordered the Colouring book youve worked on Katie Green Bean I will enjoy colouring in Dorset Buttons I Love living in the Highlands & Islands Hello to your Isle of Skye Friend. XX 💕
Dear Miss Katie, keeping you in my thoughts and prayers for your surgery, sending you wishes of endurance and healing. Ha - I feel you with the preparing "all the projects" for your recovery - my husband and I are about to embark upon a couple of years of RV travel. Though I intend to have oodles of making time, my resources will be limited (no sewing machine, won't be able to dye my handspun yarns for projects, etc.) so I am planning specific projects with the supplies I have now and make sure those projects are ready to go. Cheers!
Best wishes Katie for your up coming surgery. I too planned out several projects when I was recently off my feet. Simple sock knitting won for me. Sending Love and Best wishes and a relaxed recovery
Thank you Katie! Your podcasts always bring joy to my day. I hope that your surgery goes very well and that your recovery is a fast one. With dear Jack as your nurse, you will have the best medicine of all --- love. I am going to be getting some of the postcards you made. It will be so fun to send them out into the world. Take care. We all will be thinking of you.
Big hugs Katie, and all the best for the surgery! As Claire mentioned on her comment, don't feel afraid to ask the team taking care of you all the questions you might have. I did that for both surgeries I had and it really helped (as a scientist I really wanted to understand everything they were going to do). Also be prepared for the things you might say as you wake up from the anesthetic... I apparently told the nurse taking care of me (the 1st time I had surgery) I was happy to be awake multiple times (my biggest concern was the anesthetic), my family said I sounded drunk :) Love the botanical drawings, so beautiful! And that greed dress is fab!
Oh Katie I can so relate to this episode. I too am having surgery (knee replacement) in 2 months time. They tell me I will be up walking the same day. The thoughts go round and round in my head. I have planned out multiple knitting projects both short ones, socks of course, and some longer ones like jumpers.
No worries, my friend. I had both knees replaced at the same time! Life changing! Wish I had done it sooner. You will be find. The most important thing: stay committed to the PT. It’s the secret to success. I was back to work within 4 weeks ( I’m a professional so it’s office based work.) And driving about 5 weeks after. Best of luck. Peace!
Hello Katie. I am new to your channel on TH-cam, and first saw you on Tiny Fibre Studio a few months ago. I greatly enjoy your music and your art, and find it a perfect background for when I am weaving or spinning. I had the distinct pleasure of visiting the Dartmoor area a few years ago and consider it one of the most beautiful areas in the world. You are an inspiration and I wish you the best.
Hi Katie! Hope your self care is blessing you and you are on the road to recovery. I received my beautiful fabric from you and absolutely love it! I have plans for a knitting project bag out of it and will spend a glorious day making a few things with it in January. I mentioned you in my newest FlossTube video that I posted this morning. Hope it helps you sell more of it because I think it is GREAT!
Cute nre dress. Glad you are taking good care of yourself and Jack is helping. Very important to take the time to heal yourself and make a little.Will think good thoughts.
Lovely podcast Katie! Coincidentally I was working with Black Isle yarns whilst watching, can’t recommend it highly enough and Julie is delightful! Good luck with the upcoming surgery xx
I have not seen your podcast before but just want to say that I have had 5 surgeries in the last 5 years due to cancer. Can I just say this...none of them have been that bad at all. I was apprehensive about the first + couldnt believe how well it + how fast I recovered. Because of this my fear was removed from the rest of them. Fear of the unknown is a devil! I wish you a speedy recovery + enjoy all your planned projects.
Hand winding a skein of yarn is a way to keep you in the present and in the task at hand. Simple tasks like that will help keep you company. Also some reading that can take you out of yourself. I hope the worst of your fears will blow away as quickly as a cloud on a windy day, that your pain will pass quickly as your body makes a full and speedy recovery.
Christina is right, talk about anything but keep talking when they are coming with needles, helps so much with relaxation. Was nurse who told anxious kids to say owwie,owwie boo boo on repitetion, made them focus so much forgot about shot. Good thinking about projects to come together as you come together again, esp easy stuff. I have to frog the sweater I started after September adventure so went back to spinning which is my physical manifestation of anxiety rationalized by getting alpaca yarn cheaper from raw fleece. Hope you have human caregiver too as my dogs are not good at washing dishes or cleaning house and refuse to run errands. : )
Thanks so much Cheryl, this is great advice. I usually try to get the nurses to ask me questions about Jack, because thinking of him (and my human caretaker) always makes me smile :)
Katie I am loving your podcast and all the best for your upcoming surgery. You would be pleased to know that your little Jack is not the only knicker ninja. My little daschie loves my knickers and though I don't sew my own have had to replace five pairs recently. Take care of yourself. Best regards Carol from Australia.
Good healing wished Katie for your impending surgery. And thank you for this lovely podcast. I usually leave yours to enjoy to the last of my viewings. I love the Green dress on you and may purchase that pattern if I can. I do not sew at all, except for buttons and hems but have promised myself that I will learn. Cheers!
Wishing you all the best for your surgery. I had surgery a couple of years ago and I was very very anxious but found that everyone I met was so kind and really did everything to make things as easy for me as possible. I was particularly worried about having a mask on my face, but apparently this is a really common concern. Whatever your particular concern don't feel scared to tell them and I'm sure they will have seen it all before and will make the process as easy for you as they can. Much love x
Love your podcast you are so talented and I can tell you have a gentle soul. I wish you a speedy recovery from your surgery put your feet up and have a good rest. This is the perfect time for it the outside world will not interfere with your thoughts as the World will be resting also. Jack will be good company he might miss the walks but he will be right at your side....
Katie, it seems you are doing all the right things. Your cardio is good, just a few exercises to strengthen relevant muscles (if you can), healthy eating, etc. are good prep. Plus you are doing everything else you can control. Good luck to you!
Oh, Katie! I had to laugh when you talked about "thinking about making" to handle the "big feelings." I am so there. Your videos, along with other makers' videos, are sometimes what keeps me able to cope with my chronic pain. I will keep you in my prayers for a gentle but quick recovery and look forward to seeing all the amazing things you get done! (wink, wink)
Sending kind and caring wishes to you for before and after your surgery. I had unplanned major surgery to, and though I get anxious over such things, when the time came, I approached things calmly, just tried to b r e a t h e, and all was well . I hope knowing others can get through this, and feel so much better afterwards will help you a little. Take all the time that you need, enjoy your enforced relaxation , I did! And we will look forward to your return when you feel the time is right x x x
Sending you lots of good healthy energy, Katie. It sounds to me like your plan for looking after yourself will work perfectly. We'll be patiently waiting for your return.
Katie, I too dislike getting needles. How I cope is I close my eyes. A nurse years ago said that when you feel the needle about to go in, wiggle your toes. Your brain focuses on the wiggling of your toes, rather than the needle going in. I do this when I get a flu shot and when I’m at the dentist. As silly as it sounds, it actually works 👣
Your gusset modification is genius. I'm sure no one's anatomy fits the normal gusset shape! I have been collecting leftover fabric for underwear but find attaching the elastic awful. I'll need to try foldover elastic. Hope your recovery is going well!
Also katie, love the undies! I've had a lot more success finding neutral and less bright fold over elastics on etsy so I'd really suggest checking some sellers on there. I've even found one recently which is black with little moons printed on it (heaven!), thanks for giving me the push to finally try out sewing some undies!
Just found you for the first time. I love your mix of footage of walks interspersed with crafty goodness. Thank you do much for sharing. Hope your surgery went well and you are allowing yourself to rest enough!
You are an absolute delight and we are all wishing you a very positive healing experience. We will be waiting for you, sending prayers and blessings, keeping the kettle on and the fire in the stove. You are a precious soul and we are so grateful for your gentle grace in this challenging world.
I so enjoy your videos. And I love that you take us with you for some of your walks. Sending you warmest wishes for your surgery and recovery. 🌺
There is nothing more peaceful and soothing than watching you draw and paint or watching you and Jack on your walks. Best wishes for a successful surgery and a quick, pain-free recovery. 💕🧶🧵
I’m so moved by the way you have been creating useful and beautiful clothing-for-strength, and new and improved undergarments, too. May you be steadied by your Makes, and by knowing that a chorus of people is cheering you on -through any lingering surgery-scaryfeelings and on toward recovery and renewal. 🌱
Such lovely words Linda, thank you so much x
I hope your surgery went well. Sometimes we sail through it, sometimes we don't. A neighbour of mine sailed through abdominal surgery but when I had an emergency caesarean, the recovery was awful. It took weeks before I could stand up straight. Sitting, standing, lying on my back, lying on my side, walking, staying still, everything hurt, but we get over these things. It's all part of life's rich tapestry.
I hope all went well and you are taking it easy and being kind to yourself. We'll all be here when you feel up to podcasting again.
Best wishes, Diane.
Thank you for the peaceful, calm and cosy podcast, Katie, and for the glorious walk! Take care of yourself and we will wait patiently while you do.
Hi, Katie! What beautiful work on those commissions. You continue to inspire me. I'm always very happy when I see you have a new episode to watch. I'm so glad you are caring for yourself, not pressuring yourself and looking forward to resting. Oh, my goodness! The knickers! Fabulous. I wish you well. I hope you make a speedy and complete recovery.
Your walks on Dartmoor with lovely Jack are a joy! The musical accompaniment is perfect and the views are stunning. Lovely podcast Katie, so interesting to hear about all your projects. Sending good wishes for your surgery and healing hugs! I’m sure you will use your convalescing period wisely and I will look forward to more podcasts when you are able.x

I always enjoy your podcasts so much. That gusset is brilliant! I hope everything went well and recovery goes smoothly.
Let me start by saying that it’s my first time here. (Via tiny fiber studio). I’m not even 15 minutes in, and wow. Maps, beautiful illustrations, plants, yarn, nature walks, tea, coloring books, cold water swimming (yes!!), hand crafted local ethics, natural dye, a love of vests, sewing, good taste in music and a musical voice to listen to! You are a person after my own heart!! Thank You for sharing your creativity and presence here! It’s very nice to “meet” You! Looking forward to more. Ok. Back to listening.
I just found your channel and I love it! I hope your surgery was uneventful and that you are recovering amongst the peace and serenity of your beautiful handiwork ❤️

I have only recently discovered your podcast and I am charmed and delighted by it. I love the way you kiss Jack on the head as he sits on your lap! So endearing! My thoughts are with you as you have your surgery. Please take it easy as you recover. Know that there are literally thousands of people thinking of you and wishing you well including me.
Thanks so much Colleen. The fur on Jack's head is so soft I just can't help but kiss it!
Katie, thank you SO much for talking about THINKING about our knitting as a form of self care! I derive such comfort and joy from the planning of a project!! Good luck with your surgery! Take good care of yourself, and I'll see you (and Jack) on the other side. :)
IT's so true, the thinking and planning is a really important part of the process and brings me as much comfort and joy as the knitting itself :)
Enjoyed your podcast, the scenery is breath taking. I’m sure your surgery will go well.
Aww, Katie, wishing you all the best with your upcoming surgery. No doubt there will be some discomfort, but trust your body to heal and return to better health before too long. it does take time, so patience with oneself is a good thing.

Dear Miss Katie, keeping you in my thoughts and prayers for your surgery, sending you wishes of endurance and healing. Ha - I feel you with the preparing "all the projects" for your recovery - my husband and I are about to embark upon a couple of years of RV travel. Though I intend to have oodles of making time, my resources will be limited (no sewing machine, won't be able to dye my handspun yarns for projects, etc.) so I am planning specific projects with the supplies I have now and make sure those projects are ready to go.

All the best with your operation.
Best wishes Katie for your up coming surgery. I too planned out several projects when I was recently off my feet. Simple sock knitting won for me. Sending Love and Best wishes and a relaxed recovery
Thanks so much Susan. I'm definitely feeling drawn towards sock knitting too.
Lovely ,Thank you,💝good wishes for your ‘special time’..🙏🏽🙇🏼♀️☺️
Thank you Katie! Your podcasts always bring joy to my day. I hope that your surgery goes very well and that your recovery is a fast one.

We all will be thinking of you.
Dear Celeste, you're so right, Jack will be an excellent nurse!

Cute nre dress. Glad you are taking good care of yourself and Jack is helping. Very important to take the time to heal yourself and make a little.Will think good thoughts.
Wishing you a speedy recovery from your surgery
Glorious!!!! All the best for that surgery of yours. See you soon 💞💞💞💞💞💞💚
Lovely podcast Katie! Coincidentally I was working with Black Isle yarns whilst watching, can’t recommend it highly enough and Julie is delightful! Good luck with the upcoming surgery xx
I have not seen your podcast before but just want to say that I have had 5 surgeries in the last 5 years due to cancer. Can I just say this...none of them have been that bad at all. I was apprehensive about the first + couldnt believe how well it + how fast I recovered. Because of this my fear was removed from the rest of them. Fear of the unknown is a devil! I wish you a speedy recovery + enjoy all your planned projects.
All the best with your surgery Katie!
hope everything gos well with your surgery and love your little waks with jack your dog his gorgeous your dress is pretty thank you for your show
Hand winding a skein of yarn is a way to keep you in the present and in the task at hand. Simple tasks like that will help keep you company. Also some reading that can take you out of yourself. I hope the worst of your fears will blow away as quickly as a cloud on a windy day, that your pain will pass quickly as your body makes a full and speedy recovery.
Thank you so much for these knid words Annie x
Christina is right, talk about anything but keep talking when they are coming with needles, helps so much with relaxation. Was nurse who told anxious kids to say owwie,owwie boo boo on repitetion, made them focus so much forgot about shot. Good thinking about projects to come together as you come together again, esp easy stuff. I have to frog the sweater I started after September adventure so went back to spinning which is my physical manifestation of anxiety rationalized by getting alpaca yarn cheaper from raw fleece. Hope you have human caregiver too as my dogs are not good at washing dishes or cleaning house and refuse to run errands. : )
Thanks so much Cheryl, this is great advice. I usually try to get the nurses to ask me questions about Jack, because thinking of him (and my human caretaker) always makes me smile :)
It's always a joy to watch your Podcast.
Katie I am loving your podcast and all the best for your upcoming surgery. You would be pleased to know that your little Jack is not the only knicker ninja. My little daschie loves my knickers and though I don't sew my own have had to replace five pairs recently. Take care of yourself. Best regards Carol from Australia.
Oh I'm so glad Jack is not the only knicker monster!!!
All the best with the surgery Katie! Also, I'm inspired to sew my own underwear now!!!
Wishing you all the best! 💕
Good healing wished Katie for your impending surgery. And thank you for this lovely podcast. I usually leave yours to enjoy to the last of my viewings. I love the Green dress on you and may purchase that pattern if I can. I do not sew at all, except for buttons and hems but have promised myself that I will learn. Cheers!
I definitely recommend the dress pattern, I think you'll be fine with it :)
Just want to say good luck with your surgery and I hope you have a speedy recovery. I am not one for commenting a lot but I really enjoy your podcast.
Thank you so much Ellen, your comment is so much appreciated :)
Hi Katie
Beautiful walk, content and update. See you after your surgery. The sooner it’s done, the sooner it will be behind you.
Speedy recovery and happy making!
Best wishes for a successful surgery and a speedy recovery!
Wishing you all the best for your surgery. I had surgery a couple of years ago and I was very very anxious but found that everyone I met was so kind and really did everything to make things as easy for me as possible. I was particularly worried about having a mask on my face, but apparently this is a really common concern. Whatever your particular concern don't feel scared to tell them and I'm sure they will have seen it all before and will make the process as easy for you as they can. Much love x
This is so reassuring to hear, thank you Claire x
Love your podcast you are so talented and I can tell you have a gentle soul. I wish you a speedy recovery from your surgery put your feet up and have a good rest. This is the perfect time for it the outside world will not interfere with your thoughts as the World will be resting also. Jack will be good company he might miss the walks but he will be right at your side....
Thank you so much. Jack will indeed be the best companion, I'm so glad he'll be by my side.
Good luck with your surgery. I am sure you will be fine.
Kind wishes for your speedy recovery and return to the pod!
Lovely podcast and wishing you well with your surgery
Katie, it seems you are doing all the right things. Your cardio is good, just a few exercises to strengthen relevant muscles (if you can), healthy eating, etc. are good prep. Plus you are doing everything else you can control. Good luck to you!
Oh, Katie! I had to laugh when you talked about "thinking about making" to handle the "big feelings." I am so there. Your videos, along with other makers' videos, are sometimes what keeps me able to cope with my chronic pain. I will keep you in my prayers for a gentle but quick recovery and look forward to seeing all the amazing things you get done! (wink, wink)
Sending kind and caring wishes to you for before and after your surgery. I had unplanned major surgery to, and though I get anxious over such things, when the time came, I approached things calmly, just tried to b r e a t h e, and all was well . I hope knowing others can get through this, and feel so much better afterwards will help you a little. Take all the time that you need, enjoy your enforced relaxation , I did! And we will look forward to your return when you feel the time is right x x x
Thank you so much Zillah x
Sending you lots of good healthy energy, Katie. It sounds to me like your plan for looking after yourself will work perfectly. We'll be patiently waiting for your return.
Thanks so much Ann
take good care, Dear Katie x
hi i think your show is very enjoyable and peaceful
Lovely to see you again..wishing you well for surgery......my brother and wife live on Skye.....i seen the video of dorset buttons on Fruity Knitting
lovely episode, even no knitting content. Good luck and all the best for you
Sending comforting and healing recovery.
Best wishes. Love and light to you both🙏🏽❤️🧶🐾
Katie, I too dislike getting needles. How I cope is I close my eyes. A nurse years ago said that when you feel the needle about to go in, wiggle your toes. Your brain focuses on the wiggling of your toes, rather than the needle going in. I do this when I get a flu shot and when I’m at the dentist. As silly as it sounds, it actually works 👣
This is a great tip Catherine, thank you. I'll try it!
Your gusset modification is genius. I'm sure no one's anatomy fits the normal gusset shape! I have been collecting leftover fabric for underwear but find attaching the elastic awful. I'll need to try foldover elastic. Hope your recovery is going well!
I’ve only just discovered your lovely podcast and hope the surgery goes/has gone well x
Thank you so much Amanda :)
Lovely podcast
Hi Katie, just thinking about you. Hope your healing and getting better everyday. Hope to hear from you soon 😁
Also katie, love the undies! I've had a lot more success finding neutral and less bright fold over elastics on etsy so I'd really suggest checking some sellers on there. I've even found one recently which is black with little moons printed on it (heaven!), thanks for giving me the push to finally try out sewing some undies!
Oooh, great tip on the elastic, I'll have a good look!
Such good luck coming your way for your surgery. Loved your discussion of hand sewing your undies. I may try that myself. Hug Jack for me.
