Thank you Dan. You have taken me to places I will never get to visit. The Yorkshire Dales is a verdant and peaceful place to get away from your troubles and wonder at creation. Kevin has been a wonderful addition to the Bakery Bears family.
I just can't express enough to you the enjoyment I am getting from walking the Dales with you. The countryside is stunning. Just stunning. And Dan, your editing is flawless.
Fabulous projects as always ! Many thanks to you both. Kay, I’ve recently discovered Holst Garn also . It’s a beautiful yarn with so many uses . I love the colors , different fiber blends .... The best part may be when the projects finished and it’s had a washing to remove the spinning oils left in by the mill. The yarn blooms and becomes even more lovely than before . Enjoy !
This is the first episode that I have watched. I do follow Little Drops of Wonderful and have made socks from Candy Skein yarn, which I love. I also love to read or watch walks through the countryside as well as towns and cities. I enjoyed the notes on the herbs and other plants. Thank you so much.
I can relate to your joy at being asked to knit socks for the college student. I'm looking forward to the same request from my granddaughter who has just begun college remotely!
Great podcast!! Love all the things!! Can’t wait to see the new socks Kay. Dan your sweater progress is awesome!!! Absolutely love the series Walking in the Dales!!
Our 3rd fall season out here in the country...’they’ have started their yearly trek up the valley towards our house at night time. My husband, shining his light out in the valley at night reveals THOUSANDS of eyes marching up to our house where they like to get on the house - sometimes they make their way in (thankfully, not too many and my husband - also THANKFULLY ‘takes care’ of the tragedy (for me, I’m petrified of spiders) for me.
Super nanny is Jo Frost! And Gilling West! One of my favourite villages. My husband used to wear Black Suede but when I fell pregnant I totally went off it and it has never smelt the same since! Love the hat Kay.
Supernanny is Jo Frost! Despite not having kids I did enjoy watching Supernanny at times. I loved her accent and how she said "not acceptable." When I hear "BTS" I think of "bangs to the sky" from the 80s! 🤣
I love the smell of earth too! I used to sit on the tractor with my husband when he was ploughing and working the land. My son does it now but I don't know whether he would take me with him! Another lovely walk thank you. And Kay - those gorgeous socks - sigh!
Lillia was grinning from ear to ear when she heard her name and saw those mitts! She says you’re so clever 🤗 If you write up that pattern I’ll be first in the queue! x
Your spiders must feel right at home. They probably peek in the window for knitting lessons! But seriously, they sound like orb spinners, wonderful garden helpers!
Good luck knitting the riddari. I've knitted one for my son. I struggled with the rows with 3 colours in a row, but in the end I managed pretty well. My son loves to wear his sweater. Lett lopi is the perfect sweater yarn for walking the Dales. I always wear my amalfi sweater when hiking. The lett lopi breathes, you don't sweat at all and stay warm! It's even water repellent!
I love autumn, it is my favourite season. Summers as they have been vor the past 5 years ar far too hot for my liking. Might have to do with the part of the country where we are living in, it is one of the warmest and mildest parts of the country. I loved your show, thank you for still beeing there.
New subscriber. Thank you for this lovely podcast, I loved the gorgeous knitting and your walk was amazing. I live in New Zealand and the scenery is very similar here. Had to smile at your number of sheep though, you need to come to NZ if you want to see sheep as we have more sheep than people LOL
Loved this podcast! I hope you do end up writing up a pattern for those lace striped mitts, I would love to knit some for my niece and would buy the pattern in a heartbeat!
Tom Collins is the only alcoholic beverage I drink. Gin, simple syrup, club soda, lemon juice, and a maraschino cherry. Here in Minnesota they add grenadine to it, which took some getting used to when I moved here after college. But I rarely drink alcohol.
Dan, can you please consider doing a series on music? Kay has her favourite colour ways, and I thought you could do something similar with favourite songs. I just would love to know what makes a great song to your ear. What I should be listening out for when I'm listening to music. Thank you!
I've done that walk a few times with Barney - though not the stiles at the end, as B can't do them!! But did you know that section of woods you went through has the most amazing display of bluebells in the Spring? Lovely to see it all from the air.
Dan and Kay, I'm 30 mins in and had to pause to tell you that I literally shrieked when you said Riddari as I waited to sit down with you both when I cast on my new project which is Riddari! How odd. Not to mention that I placed an order for Holst this afternoon, but the pure wool version so I was so pleased to see that you liked the way its knitting up. My husband was amazed at the coincidences! And yes you both have the allllyeurrrrrre!! xx
Have you tried teff. It's an ancient grain from ethiopia. They have white teff and brown teff. Ethiopian's make a flatbread called injera with it. But it is used just like flour...gluten free. Get it ground teff, unless you want to grind the tiny grains yourself. Love spending time with you. You are lovely. Kimmie
I have to giggle to myself when I hear you both saying you hope that’s the last of summer! I’ve just got off the phone to my daughter in London and she’s complaining how cold it is now. She’s lived there over 8 years now and still hankers after warmer temperatures. Meanwhile here in NZ it’s been a lovely 19-20C but a typical spring storm is on its way tonight so maybe the fire will be lit again!
When you wash léttlopi Í suggest after washing it like regular in wool wash, then soak it in conditioner for a while, it does make it soften up quite a bit. The Icelandic wool is super warm and rustic but our sheep is one of the oldest breed in the world and it is illegal to import any other sheep to the country, just a little fact😆

Its spider season here in Nova Scotia. As long as they stay outside they are safe. I could never get that close to a spider to see what colour they are😱
Hi...About the Holst garn ..Holst is the family name of the owner behind the firm and “garn” means yarn but it’s the danish word for it. And Holst garn is located in Denmark 🧶🧶🧶🧶
I think Dan definitely needs to acquire a tympani. And here in the antipodes it's spring, so of course it snowed yesterday over a huge swathe of south-eastern Australia.
Oh boy, we've had 3 spiders, that are humongous, on the kitchen wall, and on the arm of the settee, this year. Their out in force, and I hate them. 😵😵 I do dye wool for myself, and always use a bit of hair conditioner, as our hair like wool is a natural fibre. 😊 💕
HH, Baldersdale, can't wait! (I hope I'm not wrong..I'm about 12 years older than you Dan and I remember seeing H for the first time on the TV in the early 70's, I do so hope that's where you are going) I've edited to try and not give the game away if I'm right...G xx
Hi....the stripes look so neat. Do you have any suggestions on how to avoid jog when you change colors. I've tried a couple of suggestions that I found on YOU Tube, but they didn't work well for me. Thank you.
My husband wore Paco Roban and Drakar Noir in the eighties. Everything is scent free in Nova Scotia now so I get a headache if someone has perfume on.😫
Great walking the dales Dan. On your walk is that all privately owned farmland or is it open to the public? It's amazing how you find your way around. So beautiful and just what I imagine England countryside is like. I'll be dreaming of Enland tonight.
It’s all privately owned but with public rights of way across them. Many of the paths across farmland have been public rights of way for hundreds of years. To get across them I use OS Maps. If you google that they have a free website where you can follow along with my walks if you input the grid references I list. Dan
Question: what part of the Dales did they walk in the show Last of the Summer Wine? I also want to thank you for mentioning the lèttlopi wool properties. I grew up in an area that is bitter cold in the winter and one day I (being bundled up to the eyebrows in coat and scarf) met a man coming toward me in leather shorts, knee socks a turtleneck sweater and hat..I was flabbergasted! He was actually sweating! Well, 50 years on, I’d like to make such a sweater and after hearing your comments on this wool, I wonder if that is what was used in his sweater..
Hi Anne! Last of the summer wine wasn’t filmed in the Dales. It was actually filmed in the High Peaks which is about 70 miles south of the Yorkshire Dales. It was filmed in a town called Holmfirth. Dan
@@BakeryBears Ah, ok..it’s a place I always thought I’d like to visit “one day”. Now I find myself retired and living in the UK and there’s so much to see..I’m saving my money so when Covid’s had its run I will be free to roam and see things first-hand.
Hi, I have a question about your crochet blanket that you are making from yarn remnants. Should I stay with the same type of yarn? For example, all DK, or sport, or fine, or worsted, or bulky? Thank you, your blanket is lovely! Cynthia
Thank you so much! All the walks are circular - if you check the final shot of the show you can see my white car on the horizon just over to the right 😉
The discussion about hand knitting I always find interesting, in the past if you to wear a hand knit yourself or your children there was a stigma of you had to make it because you were not able to afford commercial bought so it was seen as something the less fortunate “had” to do, which is interesting decades before that perhaps 30’s - 50’s it was fashionable to knit beautiful twin sets, dresses and jumpers/cardigans. In the 60’s &70’s well you were just a hippy then came the decades until perhaps the millennium when you were obviously too poor to buy current fashionable items unless of course you were “alternative” a throw back to being a hippy. There are of course those of us who for no other reason have had needles and hooks in our hands just for the pure joy of it for every decade. Phew that was a lot of babbling

I so enjoyed this walk in the Dales! Thank you! Absolutely gorgeous and the photography was breathtaking!
Thank you for bringing some cheer to my day today. I needed this light hearted banter and inspire to pick my needles up!
The way you two love and care for each other comes through so strongly. It’s one of the reasons I watch. 💕🧶🙋🏼♀️

Supernanny is Jo Frost! Despite not having kids I did enjoy watching Supernanny at times. I loved her accent and how she said "not acceptable."
When I hear "BTS" I think of "bangs to the sky" from the 80s! 🤣
I love your podcasts, the best out there! Thank you for sharing your beautiful countryside. #fanfromSLCutUSA

Dan that sweater and colors are exceptional. I think I may try it as a winter project. Great podcast.
The lady behind Holst Garn is Helle Holst. Now I want to try some in a hat or scarf. Great podcast as usual!
Great show as always! For the brown socks, you could hold them both double, I bet that would look amazing!
I second the recommendation for the SWW hat.

Orbweaver spiders can get pretty big and colourful. They also build webs just as you describe. Cool!

Check out Dianna Walla for similar patterns to your cowl. Your colour choices look great together! 🇨🇦
Love your hat Dan! Shetland Wool Week Website has a free pattern for a beautiful hat that I think you would love
The moonwake cowl is lovely Dan. By Andrea Mowry its DK knit. It was my first colour work and you can go mad with the colour combo choice.

What is the name of the beautiful song that is playing during the opening of your walk? It's beautiful!
It’s an original piece of music created for the show by my brother. Dan
