You are part of my Saturday morning routine- grab my cup of coffee, knit some stitches, and check in on Jen! Thanks for keeping it up!
same!
Aww, thank you - so happy to hear that! Happy summer (and happy knitting) to you!!
You are a huge serving of joy. Thanks
Aww, thank you so much - that is so kind!
I appreciate you podcast so much. You make not only knitting reachable, doable and bring ease to the experience of making but you do the same thing with your thoughtful motherhood shares. You have become part of my Saturday routine and I always leave feeling seen as a mom and maker. Thank you🎉
Thank you so much for watching!! I never know if it's a total waste of time to share the boring stuff, but that's life sometimes. Thanks for hanging out here with me!
I’ve been 6 weeks no knitting due to tendinitis. No knitting is misery. Take care and keep resting your hands and arms. Love your videos 🧶
oooof - I so feel for you! (but it's so necessary to rest.) hope you're feeling better soon - I'm working hard (or ... not working hard) not to overdo it!
Thank you for your podcast. It's so fresh and fun! I appreciate your comments about having to take breaks from knitting to heal. I have had to do the same thing many times. I'm very obsessed with the yellow fireplace in your background. So FUN!
Thanks so much - I knew others would be able to relate! It's hard to stop knitting, even when we know we should. (And thanks - the yellow fireplace is a Preway from the 70s and we love it! Lucky Craigslist score from a few years ago.)
I love knitting with your Saturday check in. Thanks for sharing ❤
Thanks so much for watching!
Thanks for the video! I have the same problem with my wrists and have learned the hard way that stopping immediately once pain or tingling starts avoids long periods of no knitting. I love knitting blankets but they do tend to cause repetitive stress issues. Still, that blanket is beautiful!
SO true - that first bit of pain/tingle is a warning sign! I'm still doing a bit of resting, and as hard as it is I know it's the right thing to do. I knew lots of us could probably relate! And yes, a row here and there on a blanket it totally enough. I've gotta remember that!
Thanks so much for making this video even when you're so busy with end of school things! We are in school for one more month here. I hope your wrists recover well. I have started to have pain sometimes too and it's so important to take a break and relax. As my Arne&Carlos shirt says, "Relax! It's only knitting". So fun to see your projects in the works and finished and your new collaboration with Knit Collage!!
Aww, thanks so much for hanging out with me here! We are *kind* of in school for one more month ... Bowie has summer school, but just in the mornings through the end of June. Which he kind of hates, but it's a good thing for him. Taking knitting breaks is SO hard but we all know it's the right thing to do ... sorry you deal with this too! (But I knew lots of us could probably relate.) LOVE that A&C quote - relax!!! It's supposed to be fun anyway and it's never a race. Thanks for your sweet comments, always!
I am from Australia and listening to your schools routines etc is so interesting. You are a busy woman. Love your videos ea h week. X
Thank you so much! I think all schools do things a bit differently, and it's all so fascinating!
Love your updates, even if they are not knitting related! We love following along with your family/lifestyle content too :)
Yay! Thank you so much for saying that (because sometimes I just don't know what I'm doing!) Life happens, gotta roll with it!
I could see the emotion in your face when you were talking about Bowie ❤ thanks for hanging out with me while I knit and wait for my little man at the trampoline place ! 😉
nice!!! thanks so much for watching - I've spent many a saturday morning at the trampoline place! 😉
thank you-useful ,so long!
I dyed Indigo on some Brown Wool Yarn that I had this week, and Tweeked my Shoulder Muscle, wet yarn is Heaaavy, so I had to take it easy yesterday! I completely Get it! We Love You Jen! It is Incredibly Importante Mui to take Immaculate Care of Ourselves.....🥰🙏
Oh gosh, that's too bad! Definitely take it easy (even though I know it's so hard!)
Congrats to Bowie! Hope your wrist is better soon. Yes, it is easy to overdo it. My arthritis reminds me to take a break 😉
thanks so much - still resting it a bit but it's so hard not to knit when that's all we want to do. definitely take care!
my goodness busy busy. Yes take care of the wrist.I had Carpal Tunnel repair 30 yrs ago. I remember telling the Orthopedic doc, in great distress. I can't knit , I want to knit... :) take it easy ladies! thank you Jen ❤
it's so tough not to knit!!! but I'm trying to take care and rest. ❤
Stopping your activity once you feel pain is absolutely the right thing to do. My husband wishes I would follow this advice. Was just in the emergency room two weeks ago with pain in my left thumb and wrist. Diagnosis: too much physical stress on my hand. I was fitted with a splint and was told it will take 4-6 weeks to get better. Ugh!!!! Take care of your hand.
Ugh, so sorry you have had trouble with this - it hurts!! It's hard to stop, but definitely best. Hope you're all healed up very soon!
So glad you took the time for a video. It' always like a shot of adrenaline for my knitting mojo. So sorry about your wrist pain. It is a big deal to have to stop knitting and take a break. Hope you are healing now. Love that pollen color in the Brooklyn Tweed. I looked at their clearance and foolishly decided to stop because I didn't 'need' more yarn. What kind of stupid thinking is that? Take care.
haha, good for you for staying strong and avoiding the clearance section! (thanks so much for watching!)
Congratulations to Bowie ❤ on his 6th grade graduation. Dinah is so sweet, how old is she? So good with yarn ❤
thanks so much and YES, she is the sweetest cat ever. she is 6, so I think she's past the kitten energy / yarn attack phase. she's so, so good!
Hi Jen: Always love your shares!! I am curious f Bowie has been in a small class, or integrated class? I would love to know your thoughts on special education for autistic students and how you navigated that world. Thanks again- would appreciate your wisdom in that area - of course understanding that each person is different!
Hi - he has been in mainstream classes all through elementary, and gets pulled out for help with certain subjects. (This has worked well for us so far!) We evaluate things every year to see how he's doing and to check and see if we need to make adjustments. Junior high will be a bit different, but I think he's ready to change things up!
Hi Jen… wow I don’t usually comment so regularly with anyone else but for some reason I seem to have something to say every week. Today I would like to chat about the term, “special needs.” I know I’ve chatted a lot about my son but have I mentioned to you yet that I am a person with a disability also? I have cerebral palsy and use a power wheelchair full time, so I’ve been disabled all my life. I don’t love the term “special needs.” For one thing, it’s a term invented by nondisabled people, especially in the education arena. But here’s another perspective. Our needs are not “special.” They are just “our needs.” And you know what else? In terms of education, they are also our RIGHTS. Bowie has a RIGHT to have access to education and a RKGHT to accommodations that make it possible for him to succeed. Don’’t ever let anyone diminish his rights by making them”special.” He is a person with a disability, a kid with autism, who is entitled to full enjoyment and participation. Just my thoughts, Love, From a Recovering Special Needs Kid.
Ahhhhh - thank you for this!! So much! I really appreciate you taking the time to comment *and* share your personal experience with this. I am definitely still learning (and re-learning) language in regards to disabilities and what I said is outdated, inaccurate and I definitely picked it up somewhere during our education journey. Making a mental note, maybe a mantra … not special, just needs. And rights!! Thank you so, so much. You explain it so perfectly. ♥️ Also, words really matter and I sincerely apologize if what I said was triggering/hurtful to you. I will do better moving forward.
@@JenGeigleyKnits Please, no need to apologize! I was not offended in the least. I just wanted to offer a different perspective and give you an alternative that empowers him, and you, as his advocate.
Didn’t finish writing before hitting send… sorry!! I bet you’d rather I just talk about my knitting sometimes, eh?
@@wheeltrishthank you, thank you so much!!♥️♥️♥️
@@wheeltrishand yes - your mini skeins would be perfect for this blanket (someday, because you probably don’t need more blanket wips right now. ha! I shouldn’t be starting this now either.) I’m good at starting socks and not finishing too, but they’re so fun and portable in the summer. And I can make a smaller size hat but the next size down is a child size, so we’ll see! It *is* kind of big …
