Hi Julie, I have upcycled cashmere for more than two decades and made beautiful garments for myself and family members. It is a great way for environment and resources. I hope more people can join us. Linda from Seattle.
Julie, I think the rabbit hole you fell in is an awesome one. It’s a wonderful idea to save your mom’s sweaters and also the cashmere ones. I hope you are able to make something incredible from them all. I think it’s incredible you rescue cats. We have neighbors two doors down that their cat thinks we are his second home. He’s a precious orange fellow. Stresses me out but I love him just the same. Oh, your giveaway - I am a dog person but this neighbor’s cat has touched my heart. You are amazing. Love that bag your sister bought for you at the yarn fest. So fun. Great podcast. Have a wonderful spring.
I wish I could show you but we got a new kitty in January. My husband went and got her without speaking to me but I couldn't be annoyed with the little beauty. She's pure white with a big long bushy tail. Her mum is Turkish Angora and she really looks like her. She has settled well with our boys of 14 and 13. Harry our tabby defied the odds and survived a head injury at 5wks old. Learned how to walk again and no-one would know now. Our grey tabby (Bengal cross) Chewy moved in with us and wouldn't leave about 12yrs ago. We've been very blessed 😻
Great to see you again and learn about what you have been up to. I am a dog person at heart, but have also rescued several cats. Right now we have a 14 year old labradoodle. We are doing our best to keep her comfortable as she has many old age issues. We love her dearly.
You are so willing to try new things. You are generous and kind and so full of life and love. I smile the whole time I watch you share your joy of all you do. I have three kitties and I want some of the kitty yarn, your colors and beautiful yarn selections you brought home, I am so excited for you. Nothing quite as wonderful as yarn exploring and shopping all in one place like a festival. You are star and one that shines bright. Thank you for posting and going down rabbit holes and sharing your thoughts and ideas.
I love your podcast! My folks lived in Colorado for 30+ years so I enjoyed many visits. We had cats as pets over the years. Thank you for sharing your beautiful surroundings!
Thank you Julie for this lovely time. I truly appreciate every time you podcast, take your time, do it when you can, we are here. I only have had dogs and canaries in my life but I like cats very much too. My son and his partner have a beautiful rescued cat, Teddy and I love him very much, maybe someday. I am casting a wrap/scarf, that I saw at my daughter’s local yarn shop -Duality by Jane Vanselous, it will be very pretty for your black and white yarn❤
I am both a cat and dog person, however I must say I am partial to cats. But I also have to say you are my favorite-I look forward to each of your videos, with all of your interests and rabbit holes. Learning about different crafty things is so fun!
It was so nice to catch up with you! I think it is wonderful that you are able to create something new and special from your mother's clothing. What a treasure that will become. A true gift you give yourself! I am a lover of dogs and cats. My husband has allergies to most animals, and as a result, we have had Shih Tzus for pets. They are smaller dogs with great personality. I often say that having a pet is a lot of work, but the reward you receive is far greater! ❤
Hi Julie! Thank you for another episode, you inspire and make me smile with each watch! One of each, a three legged shih tzu we adopted who is quite literally the princess of the house. And then poor Tiger, our grey tabby. He thought he was king, right up until princess came along. Now they stare at each other from across the room, which they have both agreed is about as close as they are willing to get to one another!
Hi Julie, I love your podcast. I'm a cat and Dog lover. I just rescue a orange female cat and I named it Ginger and she is so good and sweet. I'm in love with her my little angel. You are such beautiful soul rescue cats 🐈. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful knits.
This is so sweet of you to gift us just for enjoying watching your video cast. I hope you’re doing okay with losing your mom. Moms are the best! I miss mine. I love cats and dogs and every animal that exists. I hope and pray that we don’t take all the the things that animals need to survive. We as humans are very selfish with our own needs and we need to wake up and think about over fishing, buying up every stitch of land so there’s none left for the animals! The ocean dies, we die.
Please email me TheKnittyKats@gmail.com. I will also post on instagram so you know this is real TheKnittyKats@gmail.com. I will also post on instagram so you know this is real. Winner winner
I too went down the same rabbit hole! It's pretty rewarding to buy a sweater from a thrift store, unravel it and end up with hanks of beautiful yarn! Oh and I love cats and dogs. I really enjoy your podcast. Thank you so much for sharing your crafting with us❤
Colorado sounds lovely. Still in winter woolies in UK 🇬🇧. I was a dog person but now im a both, as our 10 year outdoor feral cat suddenly decided to make friends and has gone from, "don't touch me!" to "your lap is mine, stroke me!" and now my house is his! 😂 First time watching, loved the birdsong and the yarn show and projects.
Both! I have a 15 year old cat I’m still loving on! I do love my doggies too! I’m an animal lover. A whole farm full over here. Everyone on our farm are miniatures. 🐶🐈🐓🐐🐣🐂🐾
I absolutely love that you unraveled your mom sweater and is Knititng one for you. You will feel hugged by her when you wear your sweater. I am a big DOG lover but I think that CATS are very interesting little creatures. So nice to see you again dear friend. Lovely episode filled with goodness. 💗💗💗
❤ Both cats and dogs! Have 1 indoor kitty Silvia that is 15 years old. 2 dogs Turbo (mini schnauzer) and Wilma Jean (Siberian Husky) and 6 Feral kitties we feed twice a day and have caught and had fixed. Poppy, Momma, Tori, Callie, Vader and Anakin. ❤
I love the idea of buying fibre in colours that match your cat or dog. Especially as it benefits rescue animals too. We have a rescue GSD and I would love some Black and Tan wool.
I've been watching you since that 1st show and love you're content. You are so pleasant and your beautiful cat's and what you do for them is amazing. I used to hide kittens under my bed in shoe boxes when I went to school,so my mother wouldn't find them hopefully while I was in school. I love cat's so much and have had one in my life since I was on my own going to college. Take care of my neighbors 2 cat's when they go on vacation and see them every day. I also love dogs. Keep up the great work your doing.
Love, love your podcasts. Wish you would podcast more often ☺️ you are such a cheerful person it is a pleasure to listen to you. I’m definitely a cat lover person 💕
Firstly, bravo for the 5 K. Been watching you since day one and it's always a great day when I see you've posted a new podcast. Love energy and your beautiful knits. I'm both, but mostly cat. Our cats were rescue cats but for many years now, I only get to enjoy other peoples cats. My son is crazy allergic, never saw someone so allergic to anything. So, no cats.🥲
Just discovered your podcast and LOVE that u rescue cats…I have a small neutered feral community outside (6 cats) and a spoiled one inside…thank for sharing all ur knits, acquisitions and cashmere unraveling…I am a fan!
Hi Julie, I was happy to see your podcast on my feed. I love all of the information you share. Your yarns are lovely. I love dogs and cats and we have had rabbits too for 25 years. My son’s family now has two rescued lion head rabbits that live the most spoiled life any rabbit could live. My granddaughter volunteers at her shelter because she rents and can’t have pets. My daughter rescued a dog also. We are definitely animal people 😊😊.
Hey Julie!!! CATS!!!!!!!! Congrats on 5k subscribers! I'm not surprised at all -- you and Deb are so special. ❤ Hope you are both well and can't wait to see you at the KMP retreat!
Julie! You are almost inspiring me to find a cashmere sweater to re-knit. I can see why you are excited about this new rabbit hole! I am for sure a Cat❤
I love both cats and dogs. I love watching your podcast. I feel like you are just having a conversation with us all. I don’t know how you manage podcasting by yourself. You d a great job. Thanks
Undoing garments is so much fun. I did this when I was a poor teenager. But it’s also fun for nice luxurious yarns. 💚 I’m also very much both a cat and dog person. We currently have one of each that aren’t really friends 💚
Congratulations Julie on reaching 5,000 subscribers. I’m a cat and dog person but currently only have one rescue cat who is 12 years old. I also love unravelling knitted garments. My mum taught me when I was very little the joys of reusing pulled out yarn. I’m currently knitting a jumper with wool used twice before. It gives me such a sense of well being reusing the yarn. Like you we also have a camper van and enjoy touring around the UK where we live. Have fun with the recycling of your knits.
Hi Julie, I love both cats and dogs, but I only have a cat now, a rescue of course. Her name is Squeaks. She's a beautiful tuxedo. I love hearing the birds when you video outside. The chickadees warmed my heart. When I was 5 I helped my dad make a bird house. He called chickadees 'Spitzees'. He always called that birdhouse my spitzee house.
Hi Julie, we had a black and white cat and she lived for 15years. Just beautiful, quiet and loved being in her felted cat basket. We miss her around but as we now live in a retirement village we don’t have any pets living with us. Thanks for the new podcasts to watch, and I think I would love to try doing the recycling idea too.
I love how you learned to recycle old sweaters. That is wonderful that you could use your mother’s sweaters. You summer sweater is gorgeous. I love both cats and dogs but I have allergies and cats really set them off.
I watched your try out podcast when it came out, and was happy you decided to go forward with podcasting! Subscribed right away, one of the first of over 5000 subscribers now. Congratulations on that!! We have been a rescue family for dogs for many years (we re-socialized a lot of them, and when they were ready, the organisation we did this for, found a new home for them). Socializing was such pleasure, our own 5 dogs did the most of the work I think! Now it's just me and my daughter, and since we both have jobs away from our home, we can't do this anymore. We do have 2 cats, both from a shelter, and we love them very much. So should I say both? No, not really, because if I had been able to work from home, we wouldn't have cats, we would have a dog (or 2...).
Julie, you are such a genuine sweet nice person and you are overdoing the giveaway; you have such a kind heart ❤Thank you for recording these podcast, I so enjoy sitting and knitting with you while listening to the birds......I am a bird person 😉
Wow, what nice words. I am so happy to do the giveaway. I am very grateful for my podcast friends. It is great to be able to share my passion with people who are get it! I love birds too!
Thank You! - I'm definitely a cat person. Don't have any of my own at the moment but 2 of the neighbour's cats visit multiple times a day for a treaty and an uninterrupted nap. Getting into the winter knits - In New Zealand
Another fun podcast-and I almost forgot to Like and Comment. I just used a little knitting tool as you recommended-for binding off! I usually find a double point needle. The little tool was much handier. And, Annie, I hope you’re safely inside tonight. Thanks for the visit!
Hi Julie, I love your podcasts. They are fun and interesting. I am a cat person and just love them. I do like dogs as well but I prefer cats. Thank you for your podcasts. ❤️
Both cats & dogs!! I'll be watching your progress on the cashmere repurpose--interesting! Also, what a neat idea to reuse your Mother's sweaters. I'm enjoying your podcasts--Keep them coming!
I love the fact that you are doing that with your mom's sweaters. I wish I knew about things like this when my mom passed because I don't have anything but jewelery. It is wonderful that you will think of her every time you put it on! and you can pass it down to your daughter. Congrats on your 5K subscribers! I am actually a dog person - have 2 springers. But we are becoming more of cat people too; we recently "adopted" two feral cats. we take care of them - cat house and all!
Thank you.. Yes.. I am glad I thought of it. It has been nice to live here and thoughtfully go through her things. A real gift. Jewelry is a great thing to transcend time with.
I actually am both! I started out DOG then over the years was only CAT and now many years later BOTH LOL I LOVE LOVE LOVE the ideas of you reusing the yarn from your moms sweaters and will be making something that you can wear and always remember her as you choose that new remade item to wear that day. Thank you for sharing ❤
Great episode Julie! Each podcast is better than the last, if that is possible! You are helping me find my knitting mojo, somehow it disappeared 😮, heaven forbid! Talk about a rabbit hole….. Cats and dogs, both favorites….❤
Dear Julie, although I have a soft spot for all animals cats definitely take the cake. We have two lovely cats at home, Josie and Feli, got them as babies and this year they both turn 13. A home is not a home for me without a cat. Thank you for this yet again very inspirational episode. I had the same bad experience with my first attempt to reuse the yarn of a store-bought sweater and therefore never tried again, but thanks to your excellent tipps I will now give it another chance. And I also will pay the etsy store a visit that offers these amazing yarns dyed according to the pattern of a cat. Thanks for sharing and greetings from one of your fellow knitting addicts from Germany 😺
I love all animals, however dogs are my little soulmates. Love your acquisitions!! Such pretty colors in beautiful materials. Your new knits are beautiful.😊
I’m definitely a cat person! I like dogs too, just like kitty cats more. I love the idea of finding sweaters and repurposing them for a new project. I will definitely check out a thrift store soon! Thanks for the great idea! Love your podcast!
Love your podcast, Julie. We have had both dogs and cats. Our cats will always hold a special place in my heart with fond memories. Currently we have a dog that we rescued, a lab mix. She’s a sweetheart. I don’t think I could be without a pet. ❤️🐶🐈
Congratulations on your 5,000 subscribers! I’m not surprised that your channel is growing! You are delightful to watch. I have a black cat named Charlie who will be 2 in July. He is a very big boy! I love him, even when he is ornery. Although I didn’t rescue him from a shelter, I did rescue him from an outdoor “squatter” situation. His mama decided to locate a shed in the country to have her babies. The owner brought them indoors, kept the mama and had her neutered, but couldn’t keep the 5 kittens. I was very lucky to have found Charlie through a friend’s friend’s daughter who told me. Of course I loved him, and gave him a new home. He is definitely a spoiled kitty, and I’d have it no other way. Your mom’s sweaters are pretty, and no matter what you do with them, they will always remind you of her. Here in PA where I live we have quilts, stuffed bears, or memory pillows made from shirts and belongings of those who have passed as a way to be able to hold on to them a bit longer. I still have the stuffed bear that I had made from my dad’s shirt when he died 21 years ago. I cherish it. I talk to it, and snuggle it when I’m missing him. The yarn you have is beautiful! Someone will be so lucky to win the items you have selected. Have a beautiful, peaceful Spring. To your husband…have a wonderful visit with your family across the pond. Love, Cindi
Hi Julie, it was so good to spend time with you today. And what a treat to see your beautiful kitty. Please check out The Italian Knitter, she has some free patterns on Ravelry and one of them is The Italian Summer Scarf. I loved making it. I used Holst Garn Super Soft held together with Holst Garn Titticaca. It was such a great pattern. She also has a great podcast. I have always been a cat person (all rescued), but one day we were given a gift from God (literally), we rescued a six month old puppy. I had to break my rule of a cat only household. She came with all kinds of fancy papers and she had a fancy name, we named her Kaiya. We had 5 cats at the time and quite miraculously they all got along. I was doing some research on her breed (Shiba Inu) and discover she was described as a cat like dog😂. We loved her and we were loved by her for sixteen and a half years, we just lost her this Monday. As you know this has left a huge hole in our hearts.
Dog lover 🐕 What an awesome rabbit hole to fall down! Am amazing idea! I love your podcasts, being outside and hearing nature in the background, it always lifts me up! Thank you for sharing 💞
Catching up on your episodes while knitting on my deck listening to birds chirping and feeling like you are here with me. I came across Herd of Cats yarn at Rhinebeck in 2022 and had to pick the yarn that matched my orange tabby, Spencer. Sadly, I lost him a few days after that and this year I picked up yarn from them matching my white gray tabby rescue Gary 😺 I’m so glad you mentioned them.
Congrats on 5,000 subscribers! More of a dog person but like cats too. Had a wonderful calico when I was young. Really enjoy your podcasts and your varied interests!
I’m a cat person! I just received a new cat for my 73rd birthday, a Maine Coon cat that I had been looking for. We had one in CT about 20 years ago and we all remembered how loving and lap sitting he used to be. My new cat is a cuddlier so that makes me very happy. The sewing world also has a tool similar to your hand iTool. This episode was great. The yarn from Louise Robert is beautiful and I may have looked at it on the store site!!
I love that you are repurposing sweaters to make something new. Also, it’s very special that you found a way to use your mom’s sweaters so that you can have them and use them to remember her by. Very sweet. ❤ By the way, I’m a dog person, but I like cats also.
I'm a dog person because I'm allergic to cat... weirdly, my friend has an old lady cat and I'm not allergic to her... We always get a rescue dog. This one was four when we adopted him. He his 11 now. Not the most intelligent one but he is the right dog for our autistic daugther. Thank you for the video
Love your podcast and your projects. You are doing an amazing job Julie! Thank you for your inspiration (I am a dog lover - but I admire your passion for cats. They are God's creatures too 😊)
Your Benedicta turned out lovely even with the small needle ❤ your summer linen tee is stunning. I have had only dogs in my life and i love them a lot but i grew to love cats too 😊 i mean they are adorable. The dog and cat inspired yarn i fell in love 💕 how lovely idea. I love the color you chose of sincere fiber.
Another fun podcast. When you shared your mom’s color scheme I was raising my hand saying “me too!”. I’d not thought of that being called a peacock; what fun. Dog person way more than cats for sure (sorry to disappoint), but at this season of life we happily have none of the above so we can travel without trying to take or kennel a pet. Time with kids and grandkids for the win!
Hi Julie, I so enjoy seeing all your projects and your podcast recommendations. Reusing the yarn from your mom’s sweaters is such a wonderful plan! I am a dog person and understand your love of cats because I feel the same way about dogs! They fill my heart!
I really enjoy your podcasts outdoors in nature! I am so glad you kept the pink cashmere sweater. It’s beautiful! I am a cat lover. They bring so much joy! What a great idea to dye yarn the colour of rescue cats! Congratulations on 5000 subscribers! 🎉💕
Hi Julie, I have upcycled cashmere for more than two decades and made beautiful garments for myself and family members. It is a great way for environment and resources. I hope more people can join us.
Linda from Seattle.
Thanks for sharing!! You are way ahead of me!
Rescue dogs all the way!! Another great episode. So looking forward to a visit to My Sister Knits in September. Love that shop.
The best shop!!
Julie, I think the rabbit hole you fell in is an awesome one. It’s a wonderful idea to save your mom’s sweaters and also the cashmere ones. I hope you are able to make something incredible from them all. I think it’s incredible you rescue cats. We have neighbors two doors down that their cat thinks we are his second home. He’s a precious orange fellow. Stresses me out but I love him just the same. Oh, your giveaway - I am a dog person but this neighbor’s cat has touched my heart. You are amazing. Love that bag your sister bought for you at the yarn fest. So fun. Great podcast. Have a wonderful spring.

Oh they are so sweet as they age. I like the old ones.

That is awesome!
🐾I have loved all your green makes. "In memory of" knits-what a wonderful idea! Your podcasts are a breath of fresh air. Thank you.
Thank you so much!
Thank you Julie for this lovely time. I truly appreciate every time you podcast, take your time, do it when you can, we are here.

Oh wow! You are way ahead of me. I love the idea too but
Colorado sounds lovely. Still in winter woolies in UK 🇬🇧. I was a dog person but now im a both, as our 10 year outdoor feral cat suddenly decided to make friends and has gone from, "don't touch me!" to "your lap is mine, stroke me!" and now my house is his! 😂 First time watching, loved the birdsong and the yarn show and projects.
Thank you. So glad your cat decided your lap was suddenly worthy!!😂😂
Both! I have a 15 year old cat I’m still loving on! I do love my doggies too! I’m an animal lover. A whole farm full over here. Everyone on our farm are miniatures. 🐶🐈🐓🐐🐣🐂🐾
That’s cool!
Hi Julie, I can’t wait to see what you knit with your recycled cashmere. I love both dogs and cats.
Hello Julie! My name is Bobbi! Congratulations on your 5k subscribers! I enjoy your podcast so much! ❤😊
Thank you Bobbi!
I absolutely love that you unraveled your mom sweater and is Knititng one for you. You will feel hugged by her when you wear your sweater. I am a big DOG lover but I think that CATS are very interesting little creatures. So nice to see you again dear friend. Lovely episode filled with goodness. 💗💗💗
Oh thank you! Nice to hear from you..
One Very Large Dog and 2 Senior Cats - Sisters from the same litter that we rescued 14 years ago! Good Luck to all of the entries. Enjoy your day. :)
Awww. What a fun pet family. Thank you for rescuing ❤️
We have kitty dropped off at our farm. Love kitties
❤ Both cats and dogs! Have 1 indoor kitty Silvia that is 15 years old. 2 dogs Turbo (mini schnauzer) and Wilma Jean (Siberian Husky) and 6 Feral kitties we feed twice a day and have caught and had fixed. Poppy, Momma, Tori, Callie, Vader and Anakin. ❤
Awww. You are a saint. Thank you for caring for those animals.
I love the idea of buying fibre in colours that match your cat or dog. Especially as it benefits rescue animals too. We have a rescue GSD and I would love some Black and Tan wool.
I love cats and dogs. Thank you!
Dogs - I like cats but love dogs! We had a German Shepard that I miss so much. Thanks for such a wonderful podcast.
You are most welcome!
What a generous giveaway. I used to be only a cat person for years until we rescued 2 dogs. So now we have 2 cats and 2 dogs.
Thank you for rescuing
Cat 💯😻
Love when we get a visit from one of your furballs during the podcast 🌟
YES! That was rare!
I've been watching you since that 1st show and love you're content. You are so pleasant and your beautiful cat's and what you do for them is amazing.

Love, love your podcasts. Wish you would podcast more often ☺️ you are such a cheerful person it is a pleasure to listen to you. I’m definitely a cat lover person 💕
Oh thank you!
Firstly, bravo for the 5 K. Been watching you since day one and it's always a great day when I see you've posted a new podcast. Love energy and your beautiful knits. I'm both, but mostly cat. Our cats were rescue cats but for many years now, I only get to enjoy other peoples cats. My son is crazy allergic, never saw someone so allergic to anything. So, no cats.🥲
Thank you for sticking with me!
Just discovered your podcast and LOVE that u rescue cats…I have a small neutered feral community outside (6 cats) and a spoiled one inside…thank for sharing all ur knits, acquisitions and cashmere unraveling…I am a fan!
Welcome! Thank you for saving the lives of those kitties.
Hi Julie, I was happy to see your podcast on my feed. I love all of the information you share.
Your yarns are lovely. I love dogs and cats and we have had rabbits too for 25 years. My son’s family now has two rescued lion head rabbits that live the most spoiled life any rabbit could live.
My granddaughter volunteers at her shelter because she rents and can’t have pets. My daughter rescued a dog also. We are definitely animal people 😊😊.
Thank your granddaughter ❤️
Hey Julie!!! CATS!!!!!!!!
Congrats on 5k subscribers! I'm not surprised at all -- you and Deb are so special. ❤ Hope you are both well and can't wait to see you at the KMP retreat!
Thank you. That retreat can’t come fast enough!!
Your sweater looks great on you. We are always more critical of ourselves than others would be. Truely, it looks very nice on you.
Oh thank you!
Julie! You are almost inspiring me to find a cashmere sweater to re-knit. I can see why you are excited about this new rabbit hole! I am for sure a Cat❤
Let me know if you find one to reuse. It is such a cool idea.
I am a dog person but also love cats since I had cat Taffy while growing up. Another great podcast and love the birds chirping in the background.
Thank you
I love both cats and dogs. I love watching your podcast. I feel like you are just having a conversation with us all. I don’t know how you manage podcasting by yourself. You d a great job. Thanks
Thank you... what a nice thing to say! I feel like I have so many friends out there.
Undoing garments is so much fun. I did this when I was a poor teenager. But it’s also fun for nice luxurious yarns. 💚
I’m also very much both a cat and dog person. We currently have one of each that aren’t really friends 💚
Yikes. Hopefully no pet wars.
Good day Julie - I enjoyed going to the 2024 Yarnfest as well. Totally a dog person.
Shoot - wish I would have seen you!
Hi Julie, Congratulations on reaching 5k subscribers, I am a cat person and have two rescue cats 🐈. Both much loved and very spoilt now lol.
Thank you so much!
Cats are my first love. Hope your husband enjoys his trip to the UK and his time with his mum. I live in Lincolnshire in the UK. xxx
Yes I am sure he will. I am just about to send him off! Thank you.
Congratulations Julie on reaching 5,000 subscribers. I’m a cat and dog person but currently only have one rescue cat who is 12 years old. I also love unravelling knitted garments. My mum taught me when I was very little the joys of reusing pulled out yarn. I’m currently knitting a jumper with wool used twice before. It gives me such a sense of well being reusing the yarn. Like you we also have a camper van and enjoy touring around the UK where we live. Have fun with the recycling of your knits.
Reusing makes
Perfect sense. I love that you always have done that. Enjoy your camper van this summer
Hi Julie, I love both cats and dogs, but I only have a cat now, a rescue of course. Her name is Squeaks. She's a beautiful tuxedo. I love hearing the birds when you video outside. The chickadees warmed my heart. When I was 5 I helped my dad make a bird house. He called chickadees 'Spitzees'. He always called that birdhouse my spitzee house.
Wonderful! I love birds too. They make me smile.
I love to reclaim yarn. I do with sweaters I knitted years ago and no longer wear. Excellent show thanks so much! I love cats.
I am late to this up-cycle party for sure
Hi Julie, we had a black and white cat and she lived for 15years. Just beautiful, quiet and loved being in her felted cat basket. We miss her around but as we now live in a retirement village we don’t have any pets living with us. Thanks for the new podcasts to watch, and I think I would love to try doing the recycling idea too.
Great memories of your sweet kitty. PS. my last name is Browne too. 🥰
This was an interesting and delightful episode. I've been a cat Mom and a dog Mom, multiple times, but my favorite fur babies have been dogs.
Thank you.
I love how you learned to recycle old sweaters. That is wonderful that you could use your mother’s sweaters. You summer sweater is gorgeous. I love both cats and dogs but I have allergies and cats really set them off.
Thank you! 😊
I watched your try out podcast when it came out, and was happy you decided to go forward with podcasting! Subscribed right away, one of the first of over 5000 subscribers now. Congratulations on that!!
We have been a rescue family for dogs for many years (we re-socialized a lot of them, and when they were ready, the organisation we did this for, found a new home for them). Socializing was such pleasure, our own 5 dogs did the most of the work I think! Now it's just me and my daughter, and since we both have jobs away from our home, we can't do this anymore. We do have 2 cats, both from a shelter, and we love them very much. So should I say both? No, not really, because if I had been able to work from home, we wouldn't have cats, we would have a dog (or 2...).
OHHHHH thank you for being with me from the start... and all your animals. that is a dream.
Julie, you are such a genuine sweet nice person and you are overdoing the giveaway; you have such a kind heart ❤Thank you for recording these podcast, I so enjoy sitting and knitting with you while listening to the birds......I am a bird person 😉
Wow, what nice words. I am so happy to do the giveaway. I am very grateful for my podcast friends. It is great to be able to share my passion with people who are get it! I love birds too!
Thank You! - I'm definitely a cat person. Don't have any of my own at the moment but 2 of the neighbour's cats visit multiple times a day for a treaty and an uninterrupted nap. Getting into the winter knits - In New Zealand
Hello NZ!
What a fabulous rabbit hole! I am a dog person, and apparently, a cat magnet 😊
We need more car magnets. 😂
Another great podcast. I’m a dog person. I’ve unraveled thrifted sweater and it’s so nice that you are doing it with your mom's sweaters.
Wonderful!
Another fun podcast-and I almost forgot to Like and Comment. I just used a little knitting tool as you recommended-for binding off! I usually find a double point needle. The little tool was much handier. And, Annie, I hope you’re safely inside tonight. Thanks for the visit!
Thanks for sharing!!
Hi Julie, I love your podcasts. They are fun and interesting. I am a cat person and just love them. I do like dogs as well but I prefer cats. Thank you for your podcasts. ❤️
Thank you so much!
Good Day Julie. I'm a true Both person. Missing my sweet Stella who has passed.
Thank you for sharing.
🥲 I am sorry for your loss. So hard.
Both cats & dogs!! I'll be watching your progress on the cashmere repurpose--interesting! Also, what a neat idea to reuse your Mother's sweaters. I'm enjoying your podcasts--Keep them coming!
Thank you
Julie, I really enjoy your podcast and seeing all your beautiful knits. I am a cat person first but love dogs, too!
Thank you....
I like both cats and dogs. Currently we only have a cat and he’s so much easier to take care of than when we had a dog.🐈
I love the fact that you are doing that with your mom's sweaters. I wish I knew about things like this when my mom passed because I don't have anything but jewelery. It is wonderful that you will think of her every time you put it on! and you can pass it down to your daughter. Congrats on your 5K subscribers! I am actually a dog person - have 2 springers. But we are becoming more of cat people too; we recently "adopted" two feral cats. we take care of them - cat house and all!
Thank you.. Yes.. I am glad I thought of it. It has been nice to live here and thoughtfully go through her things. A real gift. Jewelry is a great thing to transcend time with.
I actually am both! I started out DOG then over the years was only CAT and now many years later BOTH LOL I LOVE LOVE LOVE the ideas of you reusing the yarn from your moms sweaters and will be making something that you can wear and always remember her as you choose that new remade item to wear that day. Thank you for sharing ❤
I totally agree about my mom's sweaters! I am so excited. 🥰
Great episode Julie! Each podcast is better than the last, if that is possible! You are helping me find my knitting mojo, somehow it disappeared 😮, heaven forbid! Talk about a rabbit hole…..
Cats and dogs, both favorites….❤
I am glad you are getting excited again. It is okay to take a break. It is so obsessive. YIKES
Dear Julie, although I have a soft spot for all animals cats definitely take the cake. We have two lovely cats at home, Josie and Feli, got them as babies and this year they both turn 13. A home is not a home for me without a cat. Thank you for this yet again very inspirational episode. I had the same bad experience with my first attempt to reuse the yarn of a store-bought sweater and therefore never tried again, but thanks to your excellent tipps I will now give it another chance. And I also will pay the etsy store a visit that offers these amazing yarns dyed according to the pattern of a cat. Thanks for sharing and greetings from one of your fellow knitting addicts from Germany 😺
Aww..your kitties sound lovely! Thank you for your nice comment and for watching!
I love all animals, however dogs are my little soulmates. Love your acquisitions!! Such pretty colors in beautiful materials. Your new knits are beautiful.😊
Thank you
I’m definitely a cat person! I like dogs too, just like kitty cats more. I love the idea of finding sweaters and repurposing them for a new project. I will definitely check out a thrift store soon! Thanks for the great idea! Love your podcast!
Yay! Thank you!
Love your podcast, Julie. We have had both dogs and cats. Our cats will always hold a special place in my heart with fond memories. Currently we have a dog that we rescued, a lab mix. She’s a sweetheart. I don’t think I could be without a pet. ❤️🐶🐈
Let’s seem to be the soul of our homes.
Congratulations on your 5,000 subscribers! I’m not surprised that your channel is growing! You are delightful to watch. I have a black cat named Charlie who will be 2 in July. He is a very big boy! I love him, even when he is ornery. Although I didn’t rescue him from a shelter, I did rescue him from an outdoor “squatter” situation. His mama decided to locate a shed in the country to have her babies. The owner brought them indoors, kept the mama and had her neutered, but couldn’t keep the 5 kittens. I was very lucky to have found Charlie through a friend’s friend’s daughter who told me. Of course I loved him, and gave him a new home. He is definitely a spoiled kitty, and I’d have it no other way. Your mom’s sweaters are pretty, and no matter what you do with them, they will always remind you of her. Here in PA where I live we have quilts, stuffed bears, or memory pillows made from shirts and belongings of those who have passed as a way to be able to hold on to them a bit longer. I still have the stuffed bear that I had made from my dad’s shirt when he died 21 years ago. I cherish it. I talk to it, and snuggle it when I’m missing him. The yarn you have is beautiful! Someone will be so lucky to win the items you have selected. Have a beautiful, peaceful Spring. To your husband…have a wonderful visit with your family across the pond. Love, Cindi
Using your dad’s shirt was a great idea.
Hi Julie, it was so good to spend time with you today.
And what a treat to see your beautiful kitty.
Please check out The Italian Knitter, she has some free patterns on Ravelry and one of them is The Italian Summer Scarf. I loved making it. I used Holst Garn Super Soft held together with Holst Garn Titticaca. It was such a great pattern. She also has a great podcast.
I have always been a cat person (all rescued), but one day we were given a gift from God (literally), we rescued a six month old puppy. I had to break my rule of a cat only household. She came with all kinds of fancy papers and she had a fancy name, we named her Kaiya. We had 5 cats at the time and quite miraculously they all got along. I was doing some research on her breed (Shiba Inu) and discover she was described as a cat like dog😂. We loved her and we were loved by her for sixteen and a half years, we just lost her this Monday. As you know this has left a huge hole in our hearts.
Oh your dog sounds wonderful. I would love a dog one day too.
Hello Julie, as always I so enjoy your podcast. you give me so many good ideas. I love cats. I have 2.
I'm so glad!
I love the idea of using a cashmere jumper for the yarn. I am a cat.
Dog lover 🐕
What an awesome rabbit hole to fall down! Am amazing idea! I love your podcasts, being outside and hearing nature in the background, it always lifts me up! Thank you for sharing 💞
Thank you so much!
Catching up on your episodes while knitting on my deck listening to birds chirping and feeling like you are here with me. I came across Herd of Cats yarn at Rhinebeck in 2022 and had to pick the yarn that matched my orange tabby, Spencer. Sadly, I lost him a few days after that and this year I picked up yarn from them matching my white gray tabby rescue Gary 😺 I’m so glad you mentioned them.
Oh no... so sorry about your kitty. 🐱
Both! I have two of each and love them all!
Congrats on 5,000 subscribers! More of a dog person but like cats too. Had a wonderful calico when I was young. Really enjoy your podcasts and your varied interests!
Thank you so much!
I’m a cat person! I just received a new cat for my 73rd birthday, a Maine Coon cat that I had been looking for. We had one in CT about 20 years ago and we all remembered how loving and lap sitting he used to be. My new cat is a cuddlier so that makes me very happy. The sewing world also has a tool similar to your hand iTool. This episode was great. The yarn from Louise Robert is beautiful and I may have looked at it on the store site!!
Thank you!
I really enjoy watching your videos. As a fellow cat rescuer, I’m delighted to hear your feline stories. 🐱
I'm so glad!
Very lovely all the care in the "cat yarn " and the labels how very beautiful
Thanks so much for another fun and energetic podcast. I am currently a dog person. But, I love both! Congratulations on over 5500 subscribed viewers!
You are so welcome!
I’m happy for you that you were able to reuse the yarn from your Mom’s sweaters. ❤😊 And, Both!
Thank you.
I love that you are repurposing sweaters to make something new. Also, it’s very special that you found a way to use your mom’s sweaters so that you can have them and use them to remember her by. Very sweet. ❤ By the way, I’m a dog person, but I like cats also.
Thank you so much!
I'm a dog person because I'm allergic to cat... weirdly, my friend has an old lady cat and I'm not allergic to her... We always get a rescue dog. This one was four when we adopted him. He his 11 now. Not the most intelligent one but he is the right dog for our autistic daugther. Thank you for the video
You are welcome. Thank you for rescuing.
Julie, enjoy your podcast, love both cats and dogs❤
Julie, I so enjoy your podcast :). Congrats on 5000 subscribers! I love both cats and dogs.
Thanks so much for another inspiring video! I love your idea of unravelling your mother's sweaters and reknitting them! I loooove cats!
You are welcome.
What a treasure your Anker sweater will be made from the yarn from your mom's sweater!!!
Thank you. It will be so good. Thank you for watching.
What a pleasant podcast you give us! Thank you for your inspiration! Both.
You are so welcome!
Love your podcast and your projects. You are doing an amazing job Julie! Thank you for your inspiration (I am a dog lover - but I admire your passion for cats. They are God's creatures too 😊)
I would have all furry things if I could.
Your Benedicta turned out lovely even with the small needle ❤ your summer linen tee is stunning. I have had only dogs in my life and i love them a lot but i grew to love cats too 😊 i mean they are adorable. The dog and cat inspired yarn i fell in love 💕 how lovely idea. I love the color you chose of sincere fiber.
Thank you! 😊
Definitely cats! Congratulations on your 5000 subscribers. Your podcast is lovely, I love watching it.
Thank you!
Both my husband and I are cat people. (Puppies are cute, but kitties have my heart.) All of our cats are rescue kitties.
Thank you for rescuing 🐱🙌🏻
Another fun podcast. When you shared your mom’s color scheme I was raising my hand saying “me too!”. I’d not thought of that being called a peacock; what fun.
Dog person way more than cats for sure (sorry to disappoint), but at this season of life we happily have none of the above so we can travel without trying to take or kennel a pet. Time with kids and grandkids for the win!
Thank you.. yes, pets keep you from picking up and going for sure! Good for you... enjoy this time in your life.
Way to go on the 5000 subscribers!! I am a dog person, we have had a few rescue dogs over the years.
Thank you!
Love cats (but dogs are great too!) Thanks for sharing all the things!
You are so welcome!
I am a cat person, although I like all animals. Such a lovely episode. Thank you so much for your thoughts and stories and inspiration you give me.
Thank you so much!
I enjoy your podcast so much. I have a Domino Dog that is eleven but I love cats also. Keep smiling ❤️👵Sally
Hi Julie, I so enjoy seeing all your projects and your podcast recommendations. Reusing the yarn from your mom’s sweaters is such a wonderful plan! I am a dog person and understand your love of cats because I feel the same way about dogs! They fill my heart!
Yes.. I agree. I look forward to seeing them afterwoork each day.
Hi Julie. Missed you. Hugs! ❤❤❤Congrats on 5K! 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you
I really enjoy your podcasts outdoors in nature! I am so glad you kept the pink cashmere sweater. It’s beautiful! I am a cat lover. They bring so much joy! What a great idea to dye yarn the colour of rescue cats! Congratulations on 5000 subscribers! 🎉💕
Thank you! I love that pink sweater.
