I’d love to sit with my Mom….she and my Dad died of Covid three weeks apart in April of 2020. I miss them so very much. My Mom taught me to knit socks which is my crazy obsession…..I thank her every time I finish a pair. Thank you, Ruth…you are such a dear, kind person!
So so sorry for your loss. That must be so hard. Hoping you can find some comfort in your knitting x
Would love with my lovely Mum. Sadly no longer will us but was my best friend. We got up to lots of wonderful adventures and have great memories. She taught me to knit and every stitch, even now, is a wonderful connection to her. Thanks for your lovely podcasts.
Your podcasts are never too long!!! Really enjoy them. What a good Christian you are - no we should never be afraid to tell people that we're Christians. Something we can feel very proud of 😁
I would love to sit and knit with my Mom. When she was alive we would get together and sew. Lovely memories 💖
Hi Ruth. I voted the long videos because I thoroughly enjoy knitting with the wonderful TH-cam bloggers I subscribe to, like yourself. But on occasion I’m so lucky enough to get to spend time with my lovely daughter, who works in a yarn shop, and lives and breaths knitting, herself. An hour with my favourite TH-cam bloggers is the best way to spend my evenings knitting, but a day spent with my daughter, knitting and chatting is sheer bliss!
Cheers, Jen xx
Dear Ruth, you're an absolute joy. Both my Grandmothers were beautiful crafty women. Often when I'm sitting knitting I think of them and hope they would be proud. To sit and knit with them both would be a joy xx
I would love to sit with my husbands Great Aunts. They taught me to crochet and gave me a love for yarn crafting. And now I am a new excited knitter!
Oh to sit and knit with my MomMom, that would be lovely. She gave me the gift of knit and crochet at the age of 9; what a blessing has kept me going for 60 years.
Funny to see your children dressed the same at the beach, can you hear them had you suggested it.😮
I know right!!
I am a quiet person and enjoy knitting quietly. I would love to knit with my nana, who was born in 1903. She used to make lovely things when she came to live with my family when she widowed.
Jinny 🕊
I would like to knit with my grandmother. She crocheted, but I taught myself to knit. She died when I was ten, but I think we’d have a great time together working on our crafts. Love your podcast, as always. I’m glad to know someone else can have challenging moments knitting. Grateful for your devotions at the end. They have been a real comfort to me lately.
I would love to sit and knit with my Mom. She's been gone 30 years but I still miss our time together. She would be so happy to see that knitting has become a passion of mine.
Thank you Ruth for another lovely podcast! I would love to knit with you, Ruth. Your upbeat personality, heart of gold and sense of humor shines through all of your podcasts, such a joy to watch!
Thank you. Maybe some dayx
I would love to sit and knit with all my favourite knitting podcast hosts, especially you Ruth! Knitting podcasts have brought joy, inspiration, encouragement and good company to me in the past few years.
I would love to knit with my mom. She tried so many times to teach me to knit and crochet and I was never interested. It was years after she passed away that I started knitting and crocheting. I hope she would be proud. Miss her a lot.
She definitely would be proud x
I would love to sit and knit with my best friend of 60 years, in rocking chairs, on a deck watching the churning sea waves roll in, sipping on our favorite fru fru coffee drink. What a joyful memory. Thanks so much for this prompt
Oh my I want to come too xx
i would love to sit and knit with my Mom. She died 13 years ago before I started knitting very much. She taught me to knit, knit some sweaters for me and for all her grandchildren. Fortunately I still have the sweaters she knit for although some do not fit me now.
Thank you Ruth for your lovely never too long podcasts.
I would love to sit and knit with ALL the podcasters that I watch. Not only would I see some beautiful projects but the conversation and laughter would be amazing!!! 💕🧶
Just love your Christian message at the end, makes my day. You are allowed 8 shawls, they all have a purpose. I was just glued to the screen in the wool shops, it was just amazing and you did such a wonderful job showing us. Thankyou for a great podcast and we all want you back in 2024 ❤️❤️❤️
I thoroughly enjoyed this time together, thank you. Never apologize for you knitting. I also really enjoy your bit at the end, it always lights up my day
I would love to knit with my grandma who passed away when I was 17. Now I am 61 and still miss her warmth and patiance. I hope that in the near future I will have the chance to visit your beautiful ireland. Greetings from germany, Gaby ❤
I just like watch a podcast while I knit, or watch tv in the evenings. I love your podcast Ruth and just knit what you want to knit as long as it brings you pleasure!
I’d love to sit and knit with my grandmother who taught me to knit when I was 7. She passed away 35 years ago and it would be so wonderful to share this craft with her again.
I would love to sit and knit with my mom who passed many years ago . She was only 57 so I would so be blessed if I had that chance. It would be fun filled with lots of fun times talking about my grandchildren and her great grandchildren. Love love your podcast Ruth. So much fun and very light. Love your shawls and your favourite color.
Thanks for another great podcast. I’d love to knit with my great aunt. She is the one who taught me how to knit and crochet over 45 years ago. I would go to visit her and sit and we would do crafty things together. I wish she was still with us today so I could show her everything I have made over the years because of her ❤.
I would love to sit and knit with my Mum. She taught me to knit as a child but I didn’t really get into it fully until after she died. I think she would have loved podcasts and the modern knitting community ❤.
Thanks again for the lovely podcast, Ruth. I too am a yellow gal 💛
I would love to sit with my elderly lady who was our neighbour who took me under her wing and we used to knit together. I love the length of your podcast. It helped me process lots of garden produce 👍
I love to sit and knit with my sweet husband of 60 years-evenings as we watch tv! ❤
I would sooo love to knit again with my Mom. She passed in 2016 after 10 yrs in nursing home. She and I would knit together when I was little girl. I keep hearing in my head how proud she is of my knitting. I think she must be knitting with me, but from heaven.
Ruth, I’m so happy to have found your podcast today! You have a way of touching people’s hearts, like a great friend to knit with. 🧶💕Currently knitting The Austin Socks 🧦
Thanks for your kind words x
Love your podcasts. I only learned to knit after I was 76 years old. But when we were still all at home with Mom and Dad, we used to always sit with Mom and do hand work. There was five of us sisters. I often think back of those days. I love that shawl you showed us.
Dear Ruth-I would love to sit and knit with YOU. I can’t think of anyone more delightful and uplifting than you!
Wow, thank you!
I would love to sit and knit with my Mum again,I did as a child but she died many years ago , I never got to know her when I was an adult, she taught me my love of knitting which has help me whether the storms of life
I’d love to sit and knit with my grandma. She taught me to knit and sew when i was about 5 and we would spend hours and hours crafting together. She would be so excited about all the beautiful patterns that are available today ❤ I loved seeing all your shawls. Each one is more gorgeous than the previous. Enjoy making them all and feeling your confidence return! 😊
I love shawls! Don’t apologize - so much more interesting than boring socks 😊 Enjoy xxxxx
Ruth, absolutely love the color you chose for your Golden Hall Shawl! So honored you've chosen to knit my pattern, can't wait to see it grow! ❤
Can't wait for your new one either x
I would love to sit and knit with fishermen's wives ,who used to create special patterns with different meanings that were special to their loved ones on their garments and all the stories they could tell.xx
This gave me goosebumps.
I would love to sit and knit with my granny as well. She passed away when I was 5. She taught me how to crochet and knit. I am now 56 and still knitting and crocheting. Love your podcast❤
Lovely to see you again . I am so surprised we didn’t just end up as two puddles on the pavement 😂. You forgot to mention that the wheel fell off the pushchair at least fine times 😂😂. It was so good to meet you at last and thank you for being so kind about me being so late bless you xxx
The wheel issues can stsy between us 🤪😄
I love however long your podcasts are! I'll always stay until the end!
Oh how gorgeous, Falkland island wooollll soooooo soft so lovely to knit with too. And it looks beautiful, you just having a wee blip , you a very clever knitter ,this fog will lift and your moojooo will return ,keep knitting and podcasting please you a huge shining star 🌟 ❤❤
I would give anything to sit and crochet with my Momma. 🥰
Hi Ruth. Thank you for sharing so openly with us and I love your honesty. I would love to sit and knit with my grandmother again. She taught me to knit way back in the 1950s. Knitting has given me life long pleasure and a link with her although she passed many years ago.
And by the way, we don’t need professional podcasts, we need podcasters that put their personalities and souls into their podcasts, that is what makes them really interesting ❤
I would love to sit and knit with my grandmother and mother. We used to do this when I was younger. They are both in heaven now.❤
I would have loved to have been able to know my paternal grandmother better. I imagine sitting with her and learning to knit. My dad remembers seeing her fall asleep in the rocking chair while knitting socks and mittens for nine kids.
Oh, I would so love to sit and knit wirh you, Ruth, my dear sister in Christ!
If I could, I wish I could sit and knit with my Mom and Grandma. Both have sadly been gone for many years now, but their memories are never far from my needles. When I took up knitting again a few years ago (after not knitting for 35+ years) I'm sure they both fall off their cloud well having a good laugh watching me tie my fingers in knots the few cast ons. Have a wonderful day Ruth
I don't know anyone in my life who has ever knit; however I really enjoy knitting in the evening when everyone is out of the house and it is quiet and peaceful.
I love your ballyclaire shawl and I would love to knit with my sister! We don’t get to see each other often but when we do, we sit and knit, drink coffee, talk and laugh and encourage each other in the Lord! It’s a wonderful time!
I would love to sit and knit with you Ruth! I think I’d learn a lot about shawl knitting ❤
Thanks Ruth. I always enjoy your chatter about knitting while working on my projects. I was on the fourth start of my project so your conversation really hit home for me today. I would enjoy sharing a knit with my grandmother as I was too young to appreciate her while she taught me to knit.
I would love to knit with my Grandma who taught me to knit, my Mum and my sister. None of them would believe the internet and You Tube...and all those lovely patterns and yarns we now have available to us.xx
Oh to sit and knit with you would be so lovely, your such a friendly, warm person and i could learn so so much from you❤
I would love to sit and knit with you Ruth. Make no apologies for the wips they are the sign of a creative person.
I would love to sit and knit with my paternal grandma - she passed long before I was born, but stories about her reveal a quirky personality, which I think would be delightful.
I would live to knot with a group of people who would like to share, to chat, and to support one another. I have been looking for or a knit group, but havent been able to find one yet. I would also love to sit and knit with you, Ruth. You are my favorite podcaster because you always make me laugh and smile. Thank you gor sharing yourself with us! 😊
I would love to sit and knit with my granny! She passed away when I was pregnant with my first baby. She taught me to crochet, which led to me knitting.
Also I would love to sit and knit with you! Your podcast brings me so much joy ❤️
I just ordered yarn for the ballycare shawl but hadn't bought the pattern yet. Perfect timing!
I’m like you Ruth, I would love to sit down and knit with my Nanny. She taught me to knit when I was a child but now I have picked it back up in later life and become more interested in all things yarn I would love to sit and share our projects with each other. Thank you for your podcasts they are always entertaining and interesting. You keep me company whilst I craft and always make me smile. Yes it was Bullseye…..here’s what you could have won and it was always a speedboat or caravan !!
I would love to sit and knit with my Mom. She taught me the basics of knitting 66 years ago. I was even able to bury her in one of my hand knits.💚
I would love to sit and knit around my Grandmother’s kitchen table with her and my Mom and Aunt, her daughters. Oh, the conversations we would have! I miss them all very much. And thank you, Ruth, for another fun podcast! You are a joy!
This was a fun episode! You mentioned Gilmore Girls. The town in the show , Stars Hollow, is based on Washington, Connecticut. There is a yarn shop called Stars Hollow Yarns. It is quite possibly the most perfect yarn store I have ever been in. From the yarn selection to the building itself, it's beautiful.
I live on the southern coast of CT, but didn't know that Gilmore Girls was based on Washington, CT. My daughter and I will definitely make our way up there--and the yarn shop you recommend will be the icing on the cake. Thank you!
@@lesliewaddell3565 I'm in Bridgeport. I have been to every yarn store in the state. I can tell you that Stars Hollow is by far the best store in Connecticut.
Another lovely episode, as always. I always feel like a good friend is just chatting away telling me what she made that week. As to whom I would love to sit and knit with, I really wish I could knit with my mother again. She taught me how to knit when I was 7, and up until the age of 13 or so we would sit under a tree during the summers and knit away together. And then I became too cool to hang out with her and we never really knit together again. I grew up, got married, had 4 gorgeous daughters, and realized I never was cool in the first place and these days get my kicks from sitting and knitting (and a bit of whisky on the weekends). My mom passed away 14 years ago and now I wish I had gotten over myself a lot quicker and knit with her more.
Ruth, your podcasts are always a blessing and so encouraging! The time just flies listening to you. ❤
Dear Ruth! Don't be so hard on yourself! You know this season of life will pass and I promise you, life on the other side of menopause is so much better! Just think how good menopause is for your prayer life! And the prayer life of those around you 🙂🙃😉
Never thought of it that way 🤪
So sorry for your trials and tribulations. But just to let you know that after hearing what you were going through it has given me the confidence to continue with my knitting. Mistakes and all. God bless you. ❤😊🤗
If you enjoy it then keep going x
Lovely yarns and shawls. Really enjoy your podcast and all your adventures in knitting. I enjoy knitting by myself and letting my thoughts wanders. Thanks for sharing.
I would love to sit and knit with my mum. I didn't really come to knitting (she taught me when I was young) until after she died 18 years ago. I like to think she'd be so happy that I followed her love of knitting eventually.
I would love to sit and knit with my Mom, who is gone to glory many years ago. She taught me to knit and she would so enjoy all the yarn choices now available. The knitting would be great, but the talking would be the best! 💕
I had the pleasure of test knitting the Golden Hall Shawl for Nicole. It's an absolute joy!!!
Loving every stitch but know I will want to cast on her new one immediately!!
Oh Ruth you made me chuckle so much this episode - but yes cast on all the things that bring joy to your heart. Like many others here I would love to have the chance to sit and knit with my mum. I didn’t start knitting until after she passed away unfortunately so we never got the chance although we did spend time together crocheting granny squares when I still lived at home. My mum was an amazing knitter and crocheter and I treasure all the lovely things she made for my daughter when she was born. Heirlooms in the making I’m sure. Love to you and yours . X
I would love to sit and knit with my mom. I was not a knitter when she was alive but ended up with her needles, patterns and some yarn when she passed nine years ago. Her basket sat in the back of my closet for a couple of years before I ever touched it, happy to say once I started knitting I couldn’t stop. Would love to sit and knit with her now.
From one gray haired lady to another I love to watch your podcasts. Your shawls are lovely and if they are not your colours you can always use them as prayer shawls.
Thank you Ruth for your wonderful and thoughtful podcast ❤ I would knit with my mom, she was 47 when she passed away 22 years ago (2 years younger than me now) and I totally miss her . 😢
OH, my! I would love to sit and knit with you! I have been watching you incessantly from the beginning and it would be my ultimate bucket list to sit in a park or a coffee shop with you and just “be.” ❤ Don’t ever go away…..
Such a lovely comment. Thank you x
I was the first one to knit on my family. A friend taught me. I would love to sit and knit while my grandfather was sitting next to me, telling me the stories he used to tell me.
I would love to sit with my grandmother and knit. She made beautiful hand knits. But anyone who can sit and chat is wonderful.
I would love to stitch with my granny again. She taught me so much about life.
I would love to knit with anyone. I live on a small island, none of my friends knit and we have no knitting group. So podcasters usually keep me company while knitting.
I would love to sit and knit with my Nan - I sat watching her as a child and would like her to know how she inspired me to learn how to to do it 😍
I love to sit and knit with my friend and at-the-moment host Mo. She crochets and knits and I learn so much from her. 🧶💖
I would love to sit and knit with my Grandmother and Sister, they shared crafty talents with me in the fiber arts. ❤❤❤❤ wonderful memories
I love your podcasts. You often make me smile and I have to admit I talk back to you!
I would love to knit with my Nan and her sister. They fought (good natured) and were hilarious.
Thank you for not following up on never knitting again! 😂
As a teenager I had my dream Saturday job working in our local wool shop. I often worked with 2 ladies called Edna & Glenys. They were both so kind to me; Glenys would often pop out to the butcher next door to buy us pork pies to have with our cup of tea! Forty years on Id love to have a cup of tea & sit & knit with them both.
You are great inspiration to all of us and great tester. Never give up, please
I would love to knit with my grandma. I never had the chance to bc she passed but I remember her knitting away on a green blanket that I wish was still around. When I get to heaven I will love to sit and knit with her.
No one in family was a crafter, aside of my grandmother who crocheted.
I'd love to knit with Eleanor Roosevelt or Michelle Obama. They both seem like they'd be fun to spend some time with.
And thank you for showing so many shawls! I love making shawls because I know they'll always fit!
I would like to sit and knit with my father. He was an excellent knitter and taught me how to knit when I was a child. He would be so amazed at all the wonders of the knitting world now that just wasn’t around when he was alive. We would have lots to talk about!
,
I would love to sit and knit again with my Mom. She taught me to knit and would patiently fix my mistakes. In the the latter years of her life, her vision became bad and it was I, who was helping her with her mistakes.
Thank you, Ruth. I would love to knit while my daughter crochet with a lovely film/musical on TV. ❤
I would like to knit with my daughter. She died 2 years ago much too young. She did not knit but was very crafty, weaving,painting and generally making a beautiful home. I think of her often whilst knitting. Happy memories. Sarah xx
I am so sorry for your loss. So glad you can hold onto the happy memories x
I would love to sit and knit with my Nana she taught me to knit xx She lived quite far away from us, in the Lake District and we only saw her in school holidays when we went to stay and I have so many happy memories of time spent with her xx
I would love to sit and knit with Hazel Tindal. She makes amazing fair isle garments and I also love to hear her speak with her lovely Scottish accent! She has also won awards for the fastest knitter, so I would love to see that in person!
I would love to sit and knit with my mum who I lost 2 years ago. I have 2 of her WIPs to finish which I will do at some point, she was a beautiful knitter
I would love to sit and knit with you Ruth! We would laugh and laugh and laugh.......🤣🤣🤣
I would love to sit and knit with you. You are such a sweet lady. I like your Christian values and the way you go with the flow on your podcast.
I would love to knit with my Grandma. She was a homemaker, Baker, knitter and everything else besides, but she was born in 1898 and this was expected of her. She brought up her eight younger siblings as her mother died shortly after the last was born. It was a hard life, no mod cons of course. She dreamt of being a nurse but wasn’t allowed as she was needed at home. She’s been dead nearly 40 years now, but I still remember wearing her knitted cardigans and jumpers to school.
Never too long. Just a wonderful time!!
I would love to have time again to knit with my mum. When I was young she didn’t have much spare time. Then while I was working I had limited time. So we never really just sat back and knit and chat together. I’d love to experience that with her. And my other fav is to knit with all my podcaster “friends”. Seriously I receive so much pleasure watching all you podcasters who so generously give of yourselves and time xox
I would love to sit and knit with my mom. She passed away in 2020 and she loved to knit socks for my dad. I still have some pairs she knit for me. Absolutely adore your podcast and share your love for shawls!
I would love to sit and knit with my dad. He spent a lot of years as a child in a sanatorium for his health and was taught how to knit and sew, but he loved making his own socks on four needles….he passed away in ’91, but yes would love it if I could sit with him and knit now….x x x 🥰
I would love to knit with my frien Kate. She and I were neighbors for a few years and were such knitting buddies. About 12 years ago we both moved to different states ...not a couple blocks apart like before. We keep in touch. But...I would love to knit with her again.
Your shawl is beautiful and I sure enjoyed your podcast!
