All your creations are amazing! Ruby captures my heart, too. Overall, I'm a slow knitter but am using fingering and 2.75 mm and 3 mm needles; they give me a chance to settle in, I guess. The cursive practice is a lovely craft to honor. When I was teaching (sped,) some of my middle school students asked if I could help them with cursive; it was dropped from the formal curriculum-sadly, in my mind. Of course, I helped them! Also, I used to write the daily goals and plans on the board in cursive. My hope was to help them be confident in reading that type of writing. All the best, Lynn
Eeeek! Fingering and 2.75mm needles! Yes, the cursive was compulsory growing up and now I have kids who can't read my handwriting! I am having fun helping the kids. Good luck with the knitting and settling in...;)
If the kids would stop being so darn amazing and committed to handmade, I might finish that jay sweater ;). Glad you're here and tuning in Meg,...fond wishes
Loved every minute, as ever. Thank you for the "Ruby romp" winter wonderland footage! I love that your niece wants a shawl! 🩷 Your needles will be kept busy. All the very best Sarah . xx
Thanks Diane, I am feeling the business of making for the children, as I plot and plan for the third. Ai! Glad you enjoyed the romp. Thank you for your kind comment. Sarah
I’m so deep into Alafoss & Plutolopi. Winter knits are THE BEST. 🌬️🌊❄️ Youve got me thinking I need 🖤🤍 Just purchased the Wilderness Knits for the Home…OMG so good!
Checking out Wilderness for the Home NOW! I showed Cam the sweater tonight to fit for length and he said.."it's beautiful Auntie Sarah" and I was like...yeah, he's definitely a kindred spirit. ;)
What a delight to find your podcast! I stumbled across it while watching a podcast by the lovely Lærke of Fibertales . I’m now planning to enjoy many of the ‘back issues’ which I see go back some time! - lots to enjoy while Im involved with my knitting and sewing projects. Thank you so much for making such a fabulous contribution to our crafting community 😊
Your blog is truly one of the best on fibre arts. Such an interesting variety, well presented, helpful, inspiring, and so well filmed and edited. So professional. I just thoroughly enjoy each episode. Thank you so much. Living here in South Africa with all the violence and crime we have, it means a lot to escape to another world through your lovely episodes!
An absolute delight as always. I love it when you release your new podcast and I have to watch it as soon as possible. So inspirational. Hope you and your family are safe and well. Love Gail xx ❤❤❤
Thank you Gail, all is well here and I'm glad you find a little spark of excitement upon the release. I know how that feels with some of my favorites especially after a long day of work...phew to come home and be immersed in craft!
As I go 'round and 'round the sleeves with gray on my husband's sweater, I, too, crave colour work. I was encouraged to hear you say that you didn't have too many problems with plotulopi since I would really like to try it. I can't seem to get enough of Icelandic yarn these days. Comforting gentle armour, indeed.
Dear Ann, gentle armor for sure...It is a wonderful wool to lean in to for deep connection and practical material. Happy knitting on that gray sleeve ;)
Thank you for sharing Nathalie as she is a treasure ! Look at her TH-cam film on how to thread a needle. Her story is fascinating and you can visit out in Florence. I very much appreciate all your films as they are full and flavorful. Thank you.
I would love to visit her workshop and attend a retreat in Florence...it's definitely crossed my mind...I appreciate your kind feedback about the podcast. Thank you so much for sharing and tuning in. Many fond wishes, Sarah
@@FiberTrek my pleasure.I am a native Northern Vermont and Cape Codder now in the South, so generational handwork is imbedded. Be well and stay warm during this upcoming deep freeze.
Interesting. I’m 33, and I learned cursive in grade 2. To this day 100% of what I write down, including grocery lists, are in cursive. Is that weird? I have never thought about it, but now I’m wondering if that’s not common anymore.
Not weird at all! I use a cursive type script when I write and I had a kid the other day tell me they couldn't read my writing..it was too fancy. I am not aware of the school I work in or my nephew's school of teaching cursive/penmanship. So it is novel to them...
It’s wonderful that you learned and use cursive. I’m a teacher in Colorado and our schools no longer teach cursive, saying they don’t have time. It’s unfortunate, especially since there is evidence that learning cursive improves reading fluency. But then, kids hardly read anymore. Keep at it! Maybe we will start a cursive revival. 😂❤
So much goodness.. the cursive, the outdoor trekking in the snow, the hand stitching and of course the knits! I have some Manchelopi going on the needles soon and I am excited. Also, I can’t get enough of your 9 year old nephew’s persistent desire for a hand-spun pullover. Thanks for the lovely episode Sarah!
Leanne, I can't wait to see what you end up doing with the manchelopi...I just can't get enough! Tonight I took the plotolopi sweater over to fit for length and he was like "Auntie Sarah, that's beautiful." and I was like...this kid is definitely a kindred spirit.
@@FiberTrek oh my heart! Kindred spirit indeed. So looking forward to tucking in and watching your most recent episode after a couple days of flying ahead. Have a wonderful evening!
Happy snows :) I’ve meant to say this since Dec - I went to support you on patreon but couldn’t afford the tiers. I’m not sure if the fees make it pointless but I’m sure I’m not the only one who’d patreon a smaller amount which would hopefully add up 💕
Dear Savannah, I think the $3 is suggested and you can amend the pledge per episode in the check-out to less. Thank you for your interest in financially supporting my work. I am glad you're enjoying it and supporting it with wonderful comments as well. ;)
@@SavvyLikeThat Where you able to make something work that was less than the minimum? It's hard for me to tell what the page looks like as the "creator." Thank you for your consideration.
Would you please clarify your patroon for me. The other one I joined was a monthly fee but I see yours is per episode. So, does it take money when you upload a new episode? Or is per episode that I watch? Just unclear how the payment works per episode.
Dear Kristen, each month it will aggregate the number of episodes and charge you the amount. I upload no more than two times per month for charged post so the most you would be charged is $6 if you keep the suggested pledge the least would be $3 if you keep the suggested pledge per episode. I also upload an additional podcast per month with no associated charge. Is this helpful? I think you can amend the pledge amount in check out.
@@kristencolton8875 I went and double checked this...and it looks like I set the minimum at $3.00 per episode...I wonder if the tier would let you set it for less. I'm afraid what my screen looks like might be different BUT in the upper right hand corner it says "what you pay" and there's a drop down tab where I think you can amend the 3.
Thank you for taking the time to respond to me, look into this, and for your charity. I went to the patroon site. It will not allow me to join at the three dollar level paying less. I wish I could do the full amount, but my craft budget is so small. I will continue to enjoy following you at the free level.
What a delight to sit and knit with you this morning. There’s snow on the ground and it’s sun zero but I’m not well this week and can’t go out and enjoy it with my family. So to see you and Ruby romping through the snow was a particular delight. Thank you 🤎
Hello Dear Fran, as always, wonderful to hear from you. Glad you found some joy in our romping. I am so pleased we have snow on the ground finally. I am think of you often and an wishing you well. XOXO Sarah
Yeah, I can't help myself with the Ruby video especially in slow motion...dogs are such joy and her exuberance is so fun to edit on film. She gets that puppy look.

Oh no, I’ve been trying to resist the lure of the fountain pen but your video makes it look so satisfying! Maybe someday soon…
hehe...I hope you give it a try
Your Jay sweater is stunning, as is the one you were wearing for the fibre segment. And I loved seeing you and Ruby out in the wild!
If the kids would stop being so darn amazing and committed to handmade, I might finish that jay sweater ;). Glad you're here and tuning in Meg,...fond wishes

Perhaps you said it and I missed it……. What sweater pattern are you wearing? I am a sucker for cables!
It's probably my Carden Sweater by Jennifer Wood of Woodhouse knits!
I've gone back 10 years and binge watching your older podcasts.....very enjoyable!
Gail! 10 years!!! Ai! I haven't done that in sooooooo long! Thank you for the support.
Your knitting is SO beautiful! You are a wonderful Auntie too! Thank you for sharing!
Aw, thank you MichaelAnne!

Ruby seems to love the snow! I couldn't take my eyes off the lovely sweater you are wearing at the end. Gorgeous!
Yes, she is a snow dog for sure. The sweater is from Jennifer Steingass, I think it is Sea Change. ;)

Yeah, I can't help myself with the Ruby video especially in slow motion...dogs are such joy and her exuberance is so fun to edit on film. She gets that puppy look.
This popped up unexpectedly yesterday and was such a treat! I love being transported to snowy Maine and seeing all your soulful creations.
Well, hurray! I am glad you found me! Thank you for your kind comment. Many fond wishes, Sarah
