I’m glad I found your podcast. I live in Las Cruces and always live to find other New Mexicans. My ❤goes out to you and your community in this rebuilding process.
I just came across your podcast, I don't even remember where I first heard of you. I want to now go back and watch all of your previous episodes! I am truly sorry for what you and your family have gone through. Safe travels ahead!
HI, thanks for your contribution. I am going through a separation with many uncertainties. I am so sad. Moving out of our home is on the agenda, the future holds many surprises, I will try to embrace and accept uncertainty lovingly ❤
@@InGo-fy8zz Unknowns are so hard to face… your courage is inspiring to me! Remember to give yourself grace along the way, it’s challenging the things you’re going through. I am lifting you up! Hope to see you back here again in the future. Keep going! ❤️
Enjoyed your podcast. So glad you and your family are safe. I live in British Columbia in Canada and we constantly live in fear of forest fires in the summer. At this time we have fires all around us but thankfully nothing really close. We pray for those that have been devastated by fires (Jasper Alberta) 😢 I’m working on the Celeste Sweater by Petite Knits: I love colour work.
@@judycleland9087 Thank you for your kind feedback about my episode, I am glad you’re here! How scary there are fires all around you-I am glad you’re safe and not affected. I am lifting those up who are in the path of the fires in your area. ❤️ I bet your Celeste Sweater is beautiful! Colorwork is a lot of fun to knit. 🧶
Sad that I hadn't learned of your channel before today, but so grateful to view (and will continue to view). I so appreciate your message of resilience and openness and normalizing everyone's unique approach to different experiences. And, not apologizing for showing your emotions!!! SO IMPORTANT. From a fellow LCSW (in NYC), I thank you for all that you gave me today and look forward to learning more about you and your lovely crafting. Truly - if you can benefit from support from afar, please let me/us know. I wish you, your family and your community safety, health and recovery.
@@claireknitsnyc so so happy to connect with another fellow social worker and LCSW! ❤️ From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your feedback. I am so grateful and look forward to seeing you back again soon! ❤️🩹
Just found your podcast and I love it! Your sweater is lovely and looks great on you. I tend to have loads of anxiety and your tips were much appreciated! Thank you ❤
I just found your podcast and subscribed. I think your sweater and dress are so lovely and inspiring. I hope to learn to sew a skirt or dress for myself soon. I also love how you lean into your social work side with the knitting. I resonated with what you were sharing about the wildfires. We had a wildfire near our house fall 2020 and it was traumatizing. I appreciate you sharing how hard that is and not apologizing for it.
@@professorpurl I am so glad you are here! I appreciate your kind and thoughtful comments on what I shared. ❤️🩹 I am so sorry that you experienced a fire near your home in 2020… how scary! And it is a life changing event-just something you always remember. I hope you enjoy learning to sew! See you again, soon. ❤️
I can relate to your experience with the wildfires. It’s an experience which will take a long time to properly heal from. I nearly lost my daughter in severe bushfires in the Blue Mountains in NSW Australia 10 years ago. The devastation was hard to comprehend, many of her neighbours lost everything they owned and only had the clothes they were wearing on that day. Recovering from such a scary, devastating and life changing event takes years to heal fully. Best wishes for a healing for you and your family. Love your knits and sewing as well ❤🇦🇺💐
@@lesleyjones9263 I am so so sorry for your loss, how devastating!!! I cannot imagine at all how difficult it has been to go through losing a daughter. My heart goes out to you and I want you to know how grateful I am that you shared your story with me. I am holding space for you. You are right… it takes years-a lifetime really-to heal from life changing experiences. Thank you for watching and I hope to see you back again soon! ❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹
I feel very fortunate your channel popped into my feed. Your words and grace hit both my heart and my husband's. Your Framed and dress are both beautiful and the fits are spot on. I appreciated hearing about your modifications. Your outlook on handling the nebulous unknown were so much appreciated! I look forward to diving into your channel.
@@fidknits thank you so much for this kind and constructive feedback! I so appreciate it! I am glad you found the things I shared relatable and helpful. ❤️🩹 I am so happy you found your way here!! Stop by again anytime. 😊
@@robinmanly7381 Thank you for your compliments on my Framed sweater! It’s a special sweater. ❤️ My family is grateful for your support! I hope you have a wonderful day!
I had to evacuate from our family home 2 years ago. We were out of our house for two and a half weeks and I remember having daily breakdowns over something I forgot to bring with us. It was one of the hardest things I have ever been through and my community was extremely lucky and very few houses were lost. Thank you for sharing your story and all the emotions that come with it. ❤
@@malaynagalligan4006 thank you for sharing your story, I can relate to what you’re saying about being evacuated for sure. I am so glad to hear your community made it through mostly intact! ❤️
What an interesting podcast that is! And a discovery for me. Your advice and explanations on uncertainty and how to deal with it is illuminating. It is so true. I am 75 years old and I’ve applied these coping mechanisms through my life’s ups and downs and it truly helps. I’m sure it will be useful for many. Thank you! I will be back for your future podcasts, for sure! Good luck with the reinstallation into your precious home.
@@zabnol I am so glad you found my channel! It’s nice to know that you have used these various techniques for uncertainty over the years and you truly notice a difference. I believe in sharing what works long term! I look forward to you coming back for future episodes! ❤️🩹

@@suzannebrannan9715 Welcome, it’s so nice to have you here!! I appreciate your support so much, and it is wonderful to know another person from New Mexico. ❤️ I know you can understand what we are experiencing.
Love your sweater! Ranch Romance is a favorite color of mine also-I’ve made a Sophie scarf but would love a whole sweater. So happy you and your family are safe❤️I spent many summers in Ruidoso when I was younger, and it’s always been special to me. My husband and I had actually booked a cabin to visit the day the fires broke out-we had no idea until that night how horrible things were-and now the flooding. All this to say we have been keeping up with the news and praying for everyone. Thank you for sharing your experience 🙏❤️
@@julieturcotte8622 it’s always nice to meet another Ranch Romance lover! 😉 it’s such a great color. Thank you for keeping Ruidoso in your heart, and I appreciate your kind words. We had more flooding today. 😔 I hope you’ll be able to come back and visit Ruidoso again soon!
I have signed up the Framed sweater Knit-along, so when I saw your sweater I had to watch and see what you thought! Learned so much more. Thanks for your tips on dealing with uncertainty! Life is full of uncertainties. Your sweater is beautiful! Your knitting and your life is inspiring. Chin up! As you say...this too shall pass.
@@dlindsay913 I’m glad to hear you learned something when watching! That’s fantastic! And I hope you enjoy knitting your Framed Sweater as much as I have. It’s such a fun pattern. Also thank you very much for the encouragement, I really appreciate it!!! ❤️🩹
I really appreciate your thoughts about managing uncertainty. I’m thinking about my anchors! Love your dress and sweater. Excited to have discovered your channel. ❤
@@heatherbryant4527 Thank you!! I’m so glad you found your way here, and I am grateful you found the information helpful too. ❤️ I hope using your own anchors brings comfort and peace to your life. Hope to see you back again soon! 😊

@@PacashaYounger it’s good to be back in town, eventually we will make the road back home. ❤️🩹 in the meantime it is so nice to have in person hugs and knit meet ups with you! ❤️❤️❤️ and thank you for the compliment on my Framed!
I’m so sorry to hear about the fires and all it has brought to you and your families lives. I can’t imagine! This is my first time seeing your channel! I totally enjoyed listening to you and seeing your makes. See you next time!
@@catherinesp6378 I am really glad you found your way here, welcome! 🤗 I hope to see you around again soon. ❤️🩹 thank you for the support and encouragement!!
This was a miraculous discovery of your channel. I am so sorry for all the damage and destruction in your community and for all the upheavals that you and your family have faced/are facing. Nevertheless, you mastered the presentation. I especially appreciate the words of counsel for times that are unsettled and uncomfortable. I would guess that all your subscribers/viewers can relate. Of course, I am also inspired by your version of Framed. To be honest, the smaller amount of ease in your version really appeals to me. Best wishes to you and yours in the coming months.
@@janetdaniels8816 I am so glad you found your way here! Happy to have you. ❤️ Thank you so much for these kind words. I am humbled by what you said, about the things I shared, my presentation and also my sweater. I hope to see you back again soon!
@@jo-annefalconer6280 Thank you so much!! ❤️ We are looking forward to being back home, whenever that may be. I hope you have a nice week ahead of you!
This is such a beautiful episode, thank you for the time and sharing your story. Your sweaters are beautiful. You and your husband, and family have been through so much. Sending postive thoughts, prayers, everything your way. All the best, Kimberly
I’m so glad that you and your family made it though the wildfires safely. It is so, so hard to see the places we lived ravaged by fires or storms. Your attitude is very inspiring. The land needs time to heal but so do the folks who call it home. 💗💗💗 Your Framed sweater is delightful! I enjoy hearing about your mods too. I have a feeling I will probably be making similar adjustments to accommodate my traps and lats 😁 Thank you for another heartfelt and lovely episode. Tuning in has been a perfect start to my week.
@@sandandskycreations6263 Thank you for your continued support! It means so so much. I enjoy seeing your stunning photos on IG… keep being you! ❤️🤸🏽♀️
Thank you for sharing your holistic approach to life, not only in embracing all the joy and strife, but also how you do so with your entire being--the physical, emotional, and creative. I strongly believe all three are necessary to allow true healing. Your plight rings close to my heart, as we live in Tampa directly on the Bay and have faced evacuation due to major hurricanes. Thankfully, we've dodged serious damage, but know that heart-in-your-throat feeling during the disaster too well. May you and your family continue to recover and thrive.
@@MarshaAMoore Thank you for sharing your experiences about hurricanes where you live… natural disasters are so devastating regardless of the type. And they leave you feeling powerless in a way too, because you’re just left picking up whatever pieces are left once the storm moves on. Best wishes to you and your family in staying safe from natural disasters in your area. ❤️ And I appreciate your feedback on sharing about approaching uncertainty… you’re right, physical, emotional, and creative outlets are so important and integral to our well being. Thank you again for watching, come back again! ❤️
I am sorry about your experience with the wildfire, how scary, truly! I love both your "framed" sweaters, very cool colors. 👍 Uncertainty. My husband was just diagnosed with Parkinson's. I have had to quit my job and become his full-time caregiver and advocate. He has been admitted, into ICU, six times since March 12th this year. I have few precious moments for self care each day and I use that for knitting, cooking and (gasp) housecleaning. Those are my anchors for now. I am sure as the disease progresses I will lean into other anchors.
@@RuthannH thank you for being uplifting, I truly appreciate your support. ❤️ and, I appreciate you sharing about how you are currently facing adversity. I am inspired by your resilience in such a difficult situation… I can only imagine how you feel daily. A loved one’s health is so precious. I am holding space for you and your husband in my heart. And I am glad you find moments to take care of yourself… keep doing that!!! ❤️🩹
@edmistoncreations Thank you. On the REALLY positive side, I laugh when stressed, so there's lots of laughter. We have either good or great days, no bad ones, and each day is an adventure. Not one we would have chosen, but we're in it together, and that's what really matters in the end.
Thank you for sharing your experience and how it has affected you and your family. I live in the Uk so our climate very rarely suffers from wild fires but we all do experience sadness and tragedy and knitting is a therapy that can help us through. Take care ❤
@@bevabberley1524 you’re welcome! And that is so true… knitting can carry us through many different types of adversity in Life. It’s a good constant. ❤️❤️❤️ wishing you a lovely day!
I really appreciate both you sharing your experience and sharing the mental framework that goes along with such situations. I agree it’s important to give space for choices. I love the idea of keeping the normal routines and pleasures in place during stressful times when and if you can. 🥰🥰👏
@@thelefthandedreader6632 You’re welcome! I’m glad what I shared resonated with you and hope that you find applying them helpful to your own experiences. ❤️
I'm so glad that you and your family are well. After the fire and you returned from N.C., were you able to visit the house? I can imagine there was smoke damage but maybe you were able to retrieve more things? Like your son's favorite Halloween board book? I'm curious, what book was this? All the best, going forward. (Btw, your athletic background is SO impressive.)
@@shamszakhour6076 First, thank you for your support and for the kind things you said! ❤️🩹 We were able to check on our house, but couldn’t be in it for very long without getting a headache or not feeling well because of the smoke damage. For that reason, we have not taken items from our home so they could be cleaned or replaced properly by a professional company that does that sort of thing. I still have not found my son’s board book. 😢 I hope to find it when we can get back home, or if we have to replace it, order another. I tried to look it up but I can’t remember the title of the book, just the “story” my son would read out loud. ❤️🩹
Thank you for normalizing sadness and expressing that sadness. Wishing you and your family and neighbors strength and patience as you rebuild the physical parts of life. Hugs.
@@nicolepantojas Thank you, Nicole! ❤️ we are fortunate to be safe. The Orchard’s Dress is not difficult, I would say. You need gathering skills, know how to do buttonholes. The collar can be a little fiddly… but just be patient and follow each step one at a time and you’ll be good to go! I hand sewed some of the inside of the collar down also, where my machine wasn’t catching the folded under seam allowance.
@@eirecoleen Hi! I also prefer colorwork in the round, so I understand your hesitancy! Andrea has talked about on her channel that you could add steek columns for the armholes if you prefer to knit this in the round. I would not be able to give specifics on how to do that, but if you’re experienced with steeking and feel comfortable modifying the pattern to knit in the round then I say go for it!! ❤️ you could check out Andrea’s TH-cam for more details on her feedback if that helps! Can’t wait to see your Framed. 💃🏽
Love the color choice for Framed best ive seen so far.

Thank you for sharing your experience and how it has affected you and your family. I live in the Uk so our climate very rarely suffers from wild fires but we all do experience sadness and tragedy and knitting is a therapy that can help us through. Take care ❤
@@bevabberley1524 you’re welcome! And that is so true… knitting can carry us through many different types of adversity in Life. It’s a good constant. ❤️❤️❤️ wishing you a lovely day!
I really appreciate both you sharing your experience and sharing the mental framework that goes along with such situations. I agree it’s important to give space for choices. I love the idea of keeping the normal routines and pleasures in place during stressful times when and if you can. 🥰🥰👏
@@thelefthandedreader6632 You’re welcome! I’m glad what I shared resonated with you and hope that you find applying them helpful to your own experiences. ❤️
Sending you and your family/neighbors lots of love, thank you for sharing your story with us

I'm so glad that you and your family are well. After the fire and you returned from N.C., were you able to visit the house? I can imagine there was smoke damage but maybe you were able to retrieve more things? Like your son's favorite Halloween board book? I'm curious, what book was this? All the best, going forward. (Btw, your athletic background is SO impressive.)
@@shamszakhour6076 First, thank you for your support and for the kind things you said! ❤️🩹 We were able to check on our house, but couldn’t be in it for very long without getting a headache or not feeling well because of the smoke damage. For that reason, we have not taken items from our home so they could be cleaned or replaced properly by a professional company that does that sort of thing.
I still have not found my son’s board book. 😢 I hope to find it when we can get back home, or if we have to replace it, order another. I tried to look it up but I can’t remember the title of the book, just the “story” my son would read out loud. ❤️🩹
Thanks for sharing ❤
@@ColoradoKnitter Anytime! ❤️🩹
Thank you for normalizing sadness and expressing that sadness. Wishing you and your family and neighbors strength and patience as you rebuild the physical parts of life. Hugs.
@@bethclawson2573 Thank you so much! ❤️🩹
I love your dress!! Was it hard to make? I love layering pieces like that.
I'm glad you and your family are safe.
@@nicolepantojas Thank you, Nicole! ❤️ we are fortunate to be safe. The Orchard’s Dress is not difficult, I would say. You need gathering skills, know how to do buttonholes. The collar can be a little fiddly… but just be patient and follow each step one at a time and you’ll be good to go! I hand sewed some of the inside of the collar down also, where my machine wasn’t catching the folded under seam allowance.
@@edmistoncreations when you buy patterns online, are you able to print them, or do you use a projector? thanks for the info!!
@@nicolepantojas I have them printed using PDF Plotting… I’ll link the website here.

I really prefer knitting in the round. Is it possible to do this w,framed sweater,& if so, can someone help me w/ some tips? Thank you! ❤
@@eirecoleen Hi! I also prefer colorwork in the round, so I understand your hesitancy! Andrea has talked about on her channel that you could add steek columns for the armholes if you prefer to knit this in the round. I would not be able to give specifics on how to do that, but if you’re experienced with steeking and feel comfortable modifying the pattern to knit in the round then I say go for it!! ❤️ you could check out Andrea’s TH-cam for more details on her feedback if that helps! Can’t wait to see your Framed. 💃🏽
Thank you for sharing your experience and emotions Alisha💜 Sending you and your family continued healing and strength 🌞
@@knitnpurlen Thank you for the continued support and encouragement, Jenn! ❤️🩹
