I love how the cowl came out!! And, the partial seaming trick is brilliant. Thanks for sharing!❤
It’s always so great catching up with you, Becky! I’ll also be going to Nashville in March, can’t wait to see you there. ❤ Mia
I made a kerchief as well for a gift and and I should have added repeats because I have a useless project that will probably get thrown away. I enjoy your vlogs no matter how many you have the time to make.
I was so excited to wake up and see your new episode! Thanks for keeping me company this snowy Saturday morning!
You are so sweet! Thank you for spending your time with me, Amber! ❤
LOVE that you show what other crafter have made! Makes your channel a celebration of crafts, not just all about you. Thank you!
@@helenkathrynhoover7298 Thank you, Kathy. I hope everyone keeps sending in their makes because I really love to share them.
Love the colors of your Grid Gambit! 💜💙 Molly's scarf looks so soft and fluffy. 🧶💗
Thank you, my friend. Big virtual squishy hug.
Delightful!
I so loved listening to all the duMaurier books they had on audibles including Jamaica Inn which was great! I wish they had them all. I always enjoy your sharing so share as you so desire my dear!
@@littlebigknits Selma! Thank you for watching. I always have a fan girl moment when you comment 🥰❤️
Hello Becky🙂 I will watch whatever you make and whenever you post it. I have a growing discomfort around overconsumption in the knitting community and I started to avoid some of my last year's favourite podcasters because of the amount of mainstreem selfcare knits they produce. You're my favourite because of the uniquenes of your slightly haotic creative energy and balance in your knitting. Of course I would love to see you more often but not for the price of your stress-kniting just to have content. My latest bingewothy podcast discovery is The Knitting Jungle. And I'm always ready for one more rewatch of whatever version of P&P too😂
Good comment! I agree about the overconsumption - kind of feel that way about patterns too. I need to work on projects in my library and yarns I have.
Hi, Dorota!❤ I always love hearing from you. Thank you for taking the time to watch and for your kind comment. I agree and I hope that I never come across as selling things to you all. Or that we all have to go out and buy so we can jump on a trend. My goal is for this to feel like our virtual knitting group. Where we just knit and chat and share projects. ❤ P.S. P&P is always the right choice. I’m going to go check out Knitting Jungle. I love channel recommendations, so please share with me any you think I should watch.
I hope you have fun at the festival, and find just what you’re looking for! I’m intrigued by the cardigan you’re working on. I’ve made one cardigan, but hated so much how the button band turned out, I haven’t tried one since. 😂 This was very early on in my learning, so maybe I should try again.
And, that quote sounds very Zoolander to me! Although I can’t remember a scene with that quote. 😂
Also, definitely looking forward to reading Rebecca! (And I also prefer the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice!)
Yay! Seeing your podcast on my screen always makes me smile!
And your sweet comment made me smile! Thanks for watching, Gia.❤
Love your Zoolander quote!!!!😂
How can we be expected to teach children to learn how to read... if they can't even fit inside the building?
@@AHandKnitLetter 😂😂 We are anything but stupid for having the ability to quote from that movie!!!! BTW, your videos are the best!!!
Becky you are a breath of fresh air thank you!
Aww, Anne! You are so sweet. Thank you for spending time with me. ❤
Just discovered your podcast and really enjoyed it. Particularly like that you acknowledge other makers and podcasters. It's nice to have a recommendation from a real person and not just an AI robot. Thank you from Ottawa.
@@marietappin9900 Thank you so much for spending your time with me, Marie. I really appreciate it. I love seeing and sharing what others made, so I hope to keep doing that as long as I make these videos. ❤️
Hi Becky - You are a delight! Your quotes from the movie openings are the best 😂. Made my day. (Love that you are knitting my design too, of course).
@@NorahGaughan Oh my goodness! Thank you for watching, Norah! You made my year! ❤️🥰
Hi there - I have just discovered you! Good for me ha. Thanks for a direct, clear podcast with interesting, cool knits. subscribed. 🥰
Thank you for being here, Sharon! ❤
Thank you, always happy to learn about new-to-me patterns!
I’m glad you’re here! Happy knitting!
Hi Becky!!! Love the aesthetic of your show! Your color scheme is always bang on and balanced!
Love your knitting designs also on this podcast. You are an inspiration!
Thanks so much! I appreciate you taking the time to watch.❤ You are super sweet, Leslie. ❤
Hi Becky thank you for another lovely podcast.
Thanks for listening! Happy knitting, Merri❤
Love your videos❤ And totally agree with you in regard to Shadow of the wind 😂
Thank you for spending time with me! ❤
I always enjoy watching your videos! :-) Also sharing other makers and TH-cam podcasts is very much appreciated. 💕
Thanks for sharing with us, Felisha!❤ I really appreciated seeing your beautiful work. Big hug to you, my friend.
Jane Austen’s movies are the best! Colin’s version of Mr. Darcy is my favorite ever! Your first shawl is so beautiful and cozy, the kerchief made me laugh heheheh! I repeat sometimes: “ yes it’s a comfort. Absolutely it’s not!” (guess the movie!) Thanks for the lovely episode!
@@atrinka1 Thank you, Raquel. ❤️ I can’t for the life of me place the quote. I gotta know where it’s from!
@@AHandKnitLetter The English Patient! Love that movie!!!
Out of Africa is my all-time favorite! I’m always excited to see that you’ve posted a new video ❤
@@whome2289 Out of Africa is excellent. I really love the soundtrack and I listen to it at least a couple of times a year.
I just discovered your channel today and watched your most recent podcast. I really enjoyed it and will be adding you to my list to watch regularly from now on. 😊
Thank you for being here! Happy you found me. Thank you for spending your time with me today. ❤
Yeeeeees to Knitting Jungle🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I’m going to check that channel out tonight! ❤
The Grid Gambit you knit is beautiful.
Thank you so much. It’s such a fun pattern.
I had the same experience with the pressed flowers shawl- much smaller than expected!
@@McBranagall It’s on the wee side 😂
I love your podcast so much and was so happy to see a new episode. You all got quite a bit of snow…. I remember ice and snow when I lived in Arkansas as a little girl (that was 50 plus years ago, where does time go). The shawl you are wearing is beautiful and looks squishy soft, and warm, and love everything you make and plan to make. I love Rebecca, and the movies too. The original movie with Laurence Olivier is my favorite but I did enjoy the version on Netflix with Lily James as Rebecca.
Hi, Tina! Thank you so much for your sweet comment.❤ We used to get a lot more snow than we do now. But, this was definitely a nice amount this time. Take care. ❤
👍
Same! When I can’t find a good show or don’t want to get sucked into searching abyss …Pride and Prejudice it is!!
It’s always the right choice.
Hi Becky! I love your Grid gambit so much, I have been eyeballing that pattern, so pretty. I had a lovely time visiting with you while I'm working on my Hello Friend vest! Great to see you...happy knitting! Marie
@@OldeThymeKnits Hi, Marie! Thank you for spending time with me! I look forward to seeing your vest on your podcast!❤️
@@AHandKnitLetter 🥰
I read Rebecca when I was a young girl as well. I was always taken with when she talked about the Rhododendrons. Jamaica Inn is way different. There was a movie of it made a few years ago. Every time I watch you I think I should start podcasting again. Love hearing about all your projects. You have the most beautiful grey hair.
Thank you so much, Kate! I’m going to go check out your podcast.
Zoolander! 😂 Lovely projects!
I see you’re also an aficionado of the cinema. 😂Thanks for watching, Francine.
I lost my ever loving sish at "A KERCHEIF FOR ANTS?!?" Thank you for another wonderfully refreshing podcast.
😂 Thank you for spending time with me, Manon. ❤
Becky!! Thank you so much for the shoutout❤ that was the best surprise!! 😭 also, that jacket is the winter chunky jacket and it is drool-worthy🙌
Aww! You’re so welcome, Kelley! Your podcast is a lot of fun and I can’t wait for another episode. ❤ I put the jacket in my Ravelry faves because I can’t stop thinking about it. 😂
I made the Carol sweater last year and loved knitting it. Unfortunately my gauge was off and it's a bit smaller than I liked so I either need to reknit it or just rip back some of the length and crop it a bit since it was a little tight over my belly and hips. I will hopefully do that at some point this year once inspiration strikes. I am adding the Jacob cardigan to my queue!! I've been looking for an open front cardigan and it looks like a winner!!
Hey, Jessica! Thanks for watching.❤ I can’t wait to make the Carol. I definitely want mine oversized like a big sweatshirt. So, I know what you mean. ❤
Always excited to see your posts! Your shawl and cowl are lovely. I like that you are not elitist about yarn choice. For gift knits to non-knitters, much wiser to use a JoAnn type yarn.
@@helenkathrynhoover7298 Thank you so much, Kathy!
My husband and I quote The Ten Commandments ALOT ( the movie of course) the over acting is the biggest chefs kiss !!! I just cast on a Felix pullover in a griege because I’m sticking with basics in 2025 apparently 😂
We all need the basics! I should tell myself this before I cast on another shawl/cowl/kerchief😂
When you go to Nashville look for Rich Mountain Fibers. She’s a fairly new LYS owner and dyer from Mena, Arkansas.
Your cowl is gorgeous!! Fun visit!! Look forward to seeing you more often.
Thanks, Evelyn! I will try to check her out! Thank you for watching.❤
What is this? A Zoolander quote? 😂 I love your Podcast so much! ❤ Greetings from Germany, Mirjam 🫶
I'm pretty sure there's a lot more to life than being really, really, really, ridiculously good looking. And I plan on finding out what that is.😉
Thanks for watching, my friend!❤
@@AHandKnitLetter 😂
I loved the book Rebecca, too. I had one quarter of Gothic novels in high school. When a crucial event was revealed, I remember I was sitting on the end of the sofa while my mother was watching TV. I let out a deep gasp, and my mother worried that something was happening to me! Frenchman's Creek is also good.
@@jilliankonig2759 That’s an awesome memory. Thanks for sharing! I will check out Frenchman’s Creek! ❤️
Would love a vlog plus your 2 a month😊😊😊 enjoy your podcasts, always..
@@suen6410 Thank you so much, Sue ❤️
Hi Becky! I like variety in the podcasts that I watch, so go ahead and be creative and do whatever tickles your fancy!
Oh, I wanted to share, I watch Cozy Meadow Knits also, and her latest podcast stated you won a pattern of your choice. I recognized your name on the screen when she posted it, CONGRATULATIONS!!
@@tamaratafoya9466 Thank you so much, Tamara! I had no idea I won a pattern from Sophie! I watched that episode and never saw that! I must have been looking down at my knitting when that popped up on the screen. Thank you for telling me. Also, thanks for spending time with me today!
lol ❤u
❤
Too funny, I re-read, Rebecca and couldn’t help but read the beginning with Joan Fontaine’s voice! LOL Great book. I’m reading The Secret History by Donna Tartt. It’s been an experience! Still have about 200 pages to go. Thanks for always producing such a fun podcast, Becky. Who’s Kaci? Never heard of her! Kidding! She is solely responsible for introducing you to us! Thank you Kaci! ❤️
Kaci is the GOAT. Thank you for hanging out with me, Catherine! I’m going to put that book in my queue!❤
LOVED the snowy wonderland opening scene... there's something truly delightful about snow on a bale of hay! OK I cannot resist any longer: Grid Gambit "add to cart". I love the colours of your Zoolander kerchief. P.S. I'm currently listening to The Dutch House and loving it but I have a problem. It's Tom Hanks reading it and I don't think I want to ever listen to any other narrators going forward.
Hey Leanne! Thank you for spending time with me! I’ve got The Dutch House on hold on Libby. Thanks for the recommendation!❤ Big squeezy hug❤
Hey hey! Love seeing you pop up. Always makes me chuckle. I’m super curious what yarns/colors you’ll use for Vertices. I have it in my queue and Kaci’s colors are also a favorite. I don’t wear a lot of shawls but might love that shape. Excited to hear you’re going to Nash Fest. Me, too! Southerners represent. 😂❤
Hey friend! I can’t wait to see you at Nash Yarn Fest!! ❤ You gotta tell me if you’re knitting anything to wear there or if you’re pulling out some of your already finished amazingness for that.
@ yes! We need to plot and plan our fashion. Will it be 87 and sunny? Arctic and weird? I am in the mood for something new. A vest is a safe bet…hm.
How nice to be able to share without Ravelry.
Oh Becky! Stranger than fiction is one of my favourite films! Pride and Prejudice (any tv or movie) is always on repeat! 😂But my absolute favourite is Persuasion, why aren’t there more adaptations? Love the cardigan you’re knitting. Will look for the pattern. Will watch anything you post on TH-cam. If you peeled spuds, I’d watch! 😂 Look forward to the next one 😊
Thank you so much, Annie! If I peeled spuds you all can play a drinking game for how many times I drop them into the trash can I peel them over. 😂 Thanks for being here!❤
OK, you had me at Colin Firth. I love that production. I am going to look at that sweater. You are making by Norah ( love love her designs), Jacob‘s cardigan. I have some good wool and that might just be the perfect piece for something I’ve been waiting to do with this wool.
Can I ask what needle size?
This is always my issue when not having a knit night group for some guidance - just a helpful tip to get started. Thank you so much for today. I love that shawl you’re wearing by the way.Thank you!
Hey Cindy! Thank you for watching and commenting. I love hearing from you. I’m knitting the Jacob’s Cardigan with the called for size 6 needles for the body so far. I swatched and met gauge with that. So, that was easy this time 😂 This is our virtual knit night/knit club, so happy to discuss any time!!!
Oh Becky- much thanks ! Online knit -nite. Helping me greatly.
Now to finsh my husbands birthday gloves ( was on 1/17- I wrapped one glove that was finished with an IOU to finish second glove).:, So many things on the needles I just couldn’t get to it as well as trying to knit without him, eyeing the piece. I’m on final clue of 2024MLKAL-and a hat.
Take care!
I am 100% the same with the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice. I put it on for background while knitting all the time! I also love the book Rebecca (my daughter's name) and the Laurence Oliver version. I was so excited about the modern version but then so disappointed in how they changed the story 😕.
If you haven't checked out Woozy by Celine knitting pod, I highly recommend!
Hello! Thank you for the knitting podcast recommendation! I will totally check it out!❤ And thank you for spending time with me!❤
You made the right choice not continuing to read The Shadow of the Wind. I forced myself to read the whole thing (don’t ask me why, I have no problem abandoning a book and do so quite frequently) and I hated every minute of it! I tried both listening and reading on my Kindle. I’ve never read Rebecca. I love your podcast however you want to do it!
It was no bueno! Thanks for watching, Eileen. I hope you’re reading something good and knitting something gooder 😜❤
I'll age myself, too. I caught that Zoolander reference 😁 What is this? A school for ants??
😂 Thanks for being here, Diana. ❤
I always look forward to your podcasts! A vlog sounds fun!
I don’t repeat movies in my head, but lyrics for sure! My brain seems to prefer annoying child songs… :D
😂So, do you mean you don’t want me to start humming Baby Shark?
@ Please no!!!
Zoolander 4eva!
If you want to have similar vibe with Austen Pride and Pejudice and Zombie is a must!
Can you turn left?
@AHandKnitLetter I'm not an ambi-turner.
