Happy Birthday Nancy! I hope the actual day was better than the week leading up to it! Thank you again for visiting with us in the Knit Chat Cafe, we loved having you and I’m so happy to hear how successful your fundraiser was for Breast Cancer Research. I am loving my Titicaca socks and am almost finished my pair. Have a great week and I’ll see you in Toronto🎉
Thanks Kelly 🥰 It was a quiet day with knitting, podcasts and chatting with friends, which is about as good as I could hope for. The Countdown for Knit City is definitely on!!!
Happy Birthday! I am sorry to hear about all the hassle you have to go through at your business. It is terrible how selfish people can cause so much grief and expense to hard working people. Thanks for the podcast and hope your day was brighter.
Thanks Wendy 🥰 It was a quiet day of knitting, podcast watching and chatting with friends...not so bad 🤓 We are just about through the worst of the jobs at the store and we got the cheque from the insurance...phew!
Sending you the warmest birthday wishes Nancy, and I’m so sorry you didn’t get to Halifax to celebrate…it’s one of my favourite east coast cities. Enjoy the baguette, cheese and wine!
Happy Birthday Nancy💐So sorry you have to deal with such senseless destruction. That is so frustrating and the worry of it happening again. I hope the police had some suggestions. The Salty Air Tee has been on my to do list and your lovely, drapey yarn has me thinking of using the same.🇨🇦
Happy belated birthday, Nancy! Your wine & cheese birthday dinner sounds perfect! So sorry to hear about the horrible vandalism. Grateful to hear that insurance will cover the replacements!
Wishing you a happy birthday Nancy. Thank goodness the insurance has covered replacement of the items that were vandalized. A heavy metal cage will hopefully work as a deterrent to protect the new equipment. Take care. Barbara x
Thank you Barbara 💕 It was a quiet day with podcasts, knitting and some lovely chats with friends 🥰 The cage is almost built and we just have to get our alarm guy in to figure out the best way to get it linked to our security system 🤓
Happy Belated Birthday. I hope you were able to enjoy it amidst the vandalism and Brad being sick! I'm so sorry you are going through all of that. On a positive, I love your Salty Air Tee--that is on my list!--and congratulations on your donation to cancer research!
Happy Birthday Nancy!!! And I hope you feel better for having chatted with us. What a nightmare with the theft but I am glad the insurance is going to do their bit! I like Rosie (also makes me think of Katherine Hepburn's character in "The African Queen".)
Happy birthday Nancy. And I hope you have a truly happy rest of your birthday month. Rosey is a perfect name for your mouse. Rosé is probably her favourite too. After all, you were drinking red wine today too.
I hope you had a wonderful birthday Nancy! Sorry to hear about the theft. So glad the insurance company is paying the majority of the replacement costs.
Thank you Gwen ❣️ It was a quiet day with knitting, podcasts and a picnic dinner with Brad, which was perfect considering how busy the last few weeks had been 💕
Hi Nancy, hope you enjoyed your birthday- a day of uninterrupted knitting has to be an improvement on what seems to have been a trying time of late.Hope you have a wonderful time at Knitcity to make up for it all. 🌸🌸🌸
Thank you 🥰 I did have a relatively quiet day with lots of podcasts, chatting here in the comments and knitting...it definitely could have been worse 🤓
Happy Birthday sweet Nancy🫶🏻 hope you have the best day and that you get to go Halifax soon🤞🏻 Wishing Brad a speedy recovery🤞🏻 Take care and thank you for being you💐🙏🏻
Thank you for such a sweet comment Hanne 🥰 Brad is feeling much better today, thankfully because he's at work welding a cage. I didn't have to go to work, so I'm knitting and watching podcasts all day...bliss 🧶🧶
Happy birthday Nancy, love your Salty Air Tee, I finished mine this month too. Love Rosey she is beautiful and an ideal name for her. Enjoy the rest of your day 🥂🥂🎉🎉🎂🎂🎂😘
Happy birthday Nancy. Quite the best choice for your birthday meal. Looking forward to seeing your cast ons for the summer. Still in woollen sweaters here. 🇬🇧
Thanks Elaine 🥰 Agreed....dinner was delicious and no cooking with few dishes. Definitely a win!! I'm still in wooly sweaters here too for regular days. It's still very chilly, but it's been lovely and sunny with blue skies this week 🌞
Hi Nancy , Happy birthday , It’s always a pleasure when you post your videos love watching. Have a great birthday and good luck with getting your store back and running.
Thanks Cheryl 🥰 I loved coming for a chat and it definitely cheered me up this week❣️ We are making progress on the work situation and should have it all sorted by the end of next week 🤞
Happy Birthday, Nancy! You have the same birthday as my Mom’s was. So I am lifting up my glass to you today and wishing you the very best!🎉🍹 Love every episode - I’ve been watching since the beginning, and I always learn something new from you. I am always inspired by your knits 😊. Cheers!
Happy birthday! Hope the store renovation/fix gets done quickly and you are back to your normal. Love all your socks and your Salty Air tee is beautiful.
Happy Birthday. What a lovely idea to have a picnic supper ! Sorry to hear about the vandalism. Hope it all works out for you. Take Care! p.s. love all the socks.
Thanks Donna 🥰 It was a lovely supper and one of my favourites...no cooking and minimal dishes 😆 Brad had been working like a trooper and the cage is almost built and then to get the alarm company to come in and hook it up. It feels like the end is in sight 🤓
Happy Birthday Nancy! I would love for you to do a video showing your sweater adjustments. Ex: more short rows at the back, adjusting the stitches at the bust and increasing for a-line. I love your sock designs. I do toe up and have used a number of your stitch designs from the cuff down patterns. Of course I use your rounded toe recipe. It is my favourite!
Thank you 🥰 It was a quiet day, with as nutty as things have been lately, that was just fine 🤓 I keep intending to do a sweater modification chat, but I think I need to do a stand alone video, so I can easily refer back to it. Thank you for the boot up the bum to do it. Probably won't be until after Knit City, but I have put it in my calendar
Great episode, Nancy. Happy Birthday. I don’t spin but I have two rules for my knitting. No scissors after midnight and if you don’t like it now, you won’t like it 10 inches from now. Keeps me patient. :-)
Bahaha... no scissors after midnight. So true!!! Thank you for the birthday wishes 🎂 I've been very lucky and didn't have to go to work, so I'm knitting and podcast watching... bliss 🧶🧶
Aww Nancy ..sorry to hear that you have been going through so much at your buisness ! So much to go through at such a busy time let alone anytime . I hope everything gets resolved quickly, enjoy Toronto the theatre and the fun there at the fibre festival. Wishing you a belated Happy Birthday and thankyou for always being real with us we love you and all you share ,your beautiful knits and patterns loved to see you in person at FFF you are so lovely💕
Thank you Chrystal 💕 We are almost through the shenanigans at work with the alarm company coming on Monday to tie the new cage into the system 🤓 It was so lovely to spend a little time with you at Fiddlehead.
Happy Birthday Nancy! I was admiring your Salty Air Tee during the sock clinic. It's a beauty! I started a Bolan tee with Yarn Indulgences Silken Linen yard and loving it!!! 💓
Happy Birthdaaaaay Nancy!! I'm so bummed that I missed out on seeing you last night. I hope you have a fantastic day my friend and treat yourself! All DAY!! Cheers my friend xox
Happy Birthday Nancy! So,sorry about the vandalism and theft at your business. I’m glad the insurance company did the right thing. I like the length of your Salty Air Tee but understand the concern of it growing. As usual you gave a lift to my day even if your life has had it’s challenges lately. I understand about pet mess as we have 4 cats and in my opinion 4 cats = 1 dog as far as the work is concerned. 😊
Thank you Christine 🥰 I'll be getting the check from the insurance company today or tomorrow. We just need some milder weather so I can get my Salty Air into rotation and see how it wears 🌞🌞
Happy Birthday, Nancy! Sorry to hear about unexpected circumstances ruining your birthday plans! Great that you are also a Taurus, too! Hope you will have an awesome at Knit City! 🎂🎉🥳🥂🍾🎁🧶💐
Thank you 💕 I made the best of the day and got in lots of knitting and watched some podcasts. I went out and bought myself some beautiful flowers. Happy birthday to you too, fellow Taurus. Has yours passed already or is it coming up?
Happiest of birthdays to you, dear Nancy!🎉🎉🎉 I am very happy that you decided to record today. I enjoyed spending time with you. I love Les Miserables as well.😊
Happiest of birthdays to you!! Enjoy Les Mis!!! That's my favorite! Lots of luck in Toronto! Sorry you have to go through all that is happening at work.
Happy birthday Nancy! My daughter and I are going to our local yarn store, The Creative Knitter in Ridgeway, Ontario on Saturday for local yarn store festivities. You mentioned Stephanie and showed her beautiful sock yarn for your new design so I am looking forward to buying some of this lovely yarn for my own socks. We look forward to meeting you at Knit City in a few weeks ❤🎉
Thank you Linda 💕 I hope you had fun at Creative Knitter yesterday. I enjoyed seeing Stephanie's pictures on Instagram. Knit City is coming so quickly...can't wait 💕
Thanks Terry💕 Yes exactly❣️❣️ I feel like we are getting there. Brad has been a trooper working to get the cage built and we should be able to get the alarm company in soon to get it hooked up 🤓
Happy Birthday Nancy! Lovely projects as always! I am casting on a Salty Air Tee tomorrow - so it is lovely to see you wearing yours!! So sorry to hear of the copper coil thieves! I hope they get caught!!!
Happy Birthday. I received the lovely BlueberryFields bag on Saturday and immediately cast on the Tittygaga Socks. I have one done and the cuff of the second one. Love that you potentially named her Rosie, reminds me of AC/DC a whole lot of Rosie.
Happy Birthday Nancy 🎉🍷Thank you for your podcast. I enjoyed some knitting time as you chatted about your knitting & life. I am so sorry about the stressful situation at your business. It is maddening to think people can carry out such cruel crimes. Les Mis is one of my very favorites also. ❤
Thank you 💕 It was a quiet day, but with everything going on, that wasn't the worst thing 🤓 I always love to come for a chat about all the yarnie things 🧶🧶
Thank you Beverly 🥰 It was a quiet day and quite possibly the best it could be, considering 😆 Halifax isn't going anywhere and we'll get there soon. Coming and having a chat helped cheer me up 🤓
Love watching all your videos to see what's happening next! I suggest a shortie sock pattern for next years charity called Itty Bitty Titty! Thank you for sharing your time with all of us!
Happy birthday Nancy, loved the rambly podcast (except for the nasty thievery- do sorry you and Brad have had this happen to your business, good luck getting it all sorted), love your Salty Air tee, that colour really suits you. Huge congratulations on the fundraising with Tittigaga, excellent work. Thanks for podcastjng even under difficult circumstances - much appreciated as you keep me company (and teach me stuff) while I'm knitting. Have a nice relaxing birthday kitchen buffet xx
Thank you, thank you Hellen 🥰 I have the insurance cheque, the new heaters are installed and Brad has almost finished the cage. We hope that things will be back to normal later this week. I was so happy to come for a chat...yarn and knitting keeps me sane❣️
Happy Birthday Nancy I hope you can do something that brings you joy 😊 I am so sorry to hear about your store, I hope you are up and running soon. I love your salty air tee and your sock are lovely 🥰
Nancy Happy belated birthday, just watched your podcast , sorry to hear about your vandalised units at the back of your shop . Lovely to see you again the salty air tee is very pretty I also like the length and colour .well done with the donation . Hope you enjoy your time in Toronto. Love your new friend .Happy crafting ,see you soon.
Happy Birthday. Loved the rambling episode. It was nice to hang out with you as well. I don’t a have a local shop near me so I always get my knitting out and work one something.
Happy Birthday lovely lady! 🎉 I hope you forgot to pick up your camera because you were enjoying yourself and in a zone. You sounded like you needed to relax and unwind.❤🧶❤️🧶❤️
“Who am I…” oh do enjoy and sob and ton! Sorry for all the havoc at work it does feel like our society is struggling to be humane at times. Happy birthday! Cheese, bread and rose sounds like a perfect birthday dinner.
Jean Valjean... sigh. I'm so excited. I haven't seen it live since the mid 90's. Thank you for the birthday wishes... I've gotten lucky and didn't have to go in to work today, so knitting and podcasts. Bliss 🧶🧶
😄 Maybe we were at the same performance! My mother-in-law treatment us to the show when we visited her in ‘94. I still get all the ‘feels’ when I listen to the music. 🥂
Happy birthday Nancy! Copper theft is a common thing we have to deal with in South Africa. Well, one of many things in a high crime country, sigh. Atleast you have power there. Just sucks to be a victim of crime 😔
I’m sending very belated birthday wishes your way. I hope that by now all the workplace nastiness has been resolved, Brad is on the mend, you’ve been able to plan a new birthday/relaxation trip to Halifax, and your life is returning to its normal rhythm. I thank you so much for all the time, thought, and energy you put into making these podcasts. I enjoy them so very much and (I’m not sure you are able to hear me all the way from California) you just need to know that I keep a pretty steady conversation going with you. I need to do a bit of housework now so my “catching-up” on your episodes will have to wait until tomorrow, but I’ll see you then. Salam wa sa’aadah
Ahhh...thank you Linda❣️ And well done for being an adult and doing your housework 🤓 No time for the Halifax trip yet and I'm running out of time before busy tourist season starts 😬 Most of the workplace stuff is sorted...still a few lingering issues, but we're getting there. Thanks for asking and the best wishes 💕
OH NO!!! I am so sorry to hear about the damage and theft! There are no words for how it is these days. You are a good person and I pray that you keep your sense of humor up and keep knitting to relax. One day at a time! (it is a cleche but it's all we got!) I feel about Phantom of the Opera as you do for LeMiz. Oh and by the way HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
Happy Birthday! So sorry about theft at your office building. We had that problem in the greater New Orleans area after Hurricane Katrina in the mid 2000’s. Nothing is worse that finding A/C compressors torn apart, plumbing ripped out and wiring stolen. We were so lucky the trailer we lived in was right on our lot. So many friends and neighbors were not so lucky. Seems like it happens more and more. I saw you on KnitChat and wanted to get your patterns during the fundraiser but had surgery later that week and it wasn’t till last night’s KnitChat that I realized I missed it. I will still get the patterns when my world gets back to some sort of normalcy🤪🤣🤣. I so enjoyed spending afternoon knitting with you! My crocuses are so confused they bloom in the middle of our hot New Orleans summers! My summer mini daffodils bloom in January! My irises and amaryllises are almost finished blooming. We are winding down spring and heading into summer. I am knitting on my first Salty Air Tee. I finished the sleeves right after I had a couple of inches knit of the body. So now I can knit the body till I run out of yarn. 💗💗🧶🧶
That's so disheartening when you hear about looting like you had after Katrina. I hope you are recovering well from your surgery and enjoying some recuperative knitting. That's exactly how I love to knit my garments...sleeves first and then finish the body with what you've got left 🤓
Thank you Maureen 🥰 I love coming to have a chat and it definitely cheered me up and distracted me 🤓 Hopefully it's wrapping up. I have the insurance check and the fortifications are almost complete. We just need our alarm guy to come in next week and get it attached to our system 🤞
Struggling a bit today , I lost my wonderful amazing mum on Sunday and I'm so lost without her 💔, struggling to pick up my knitting right now , but I am enjoying having a catch up
I'm so sorry for what happened! Some people do terrible things and do not give a *** about how other people will suffer from those actions. I hope it never happens again in the future. 😥
It's very disheartening! But, the new units are in, Brad built the cage and we are waiting for the alarm company to hook it into our alarm system. Hopefully, that will take care of it
Gosh, I'm so sorry that happened to you with your business! It's so frustrating to see those things happen and then it's so much to deal with! I hope you get to have some chill time for your birthday and enjoy it! Happy Birthday Nancy!
Happiest of birthdays to you. It sucks that you got broken into like that.I had a break in at my old home a few years ago and of all the things that they took, they took away my peace of mind and that took a long time to get over . I hope the alarm company can help you so it doesn’t happen again. Try to enjoy your birthday my friend, don’t let them take that away too 💜
Thank you Wendy 🥰 I totally understand what you mean about the peace of mind and ours was less invasive than being in your home. That would take a while to feel secure again. I had a quiet day of escapism 😀 I ignored the real world and watched podcasts, knit a little and chatted with friends 💕
@@knitsiphappy I’m glad you got to escape and podcasts are a great way to do it. Thank goodness for you lovely people who create content for us to watch and enjoy and escape and of course for our knitting 🧶
Thanks Klaske 🥰 My day has started out well...I don't have to work so I'm getting to knit and watch podcasts this morning. Poor Brad has had to go to work because I can't weld 😬
I’m doing well and enjoyed the episode. Hope Brad is well soon, the shop is all repaired and secured, and that you have a nice birthday in spite of the changes!!! 🥳🎈🎁💐🥳. Looking forward to your new creations!!
Hi Nancy. I'm so sorry for the headaches the robbery has caused. I don't understand people at times bc like you said the cost to repair is so much more than what they stole. I was working on my second sleeve on my Tolsta while watching and looking at the 3 other summer cast ons I did a few days ago when nothing I had on my needles was making me happy. But I can't wait to see what summer knits your planning. I need to check out the tops you test knitted with drop shoulders bc I tend to stay away from drop shoulders bc they don't seem to fit right for some reason. Hope you enjoyed your staycation birthday this year and now you have a trip to look forward to when the time is right. Take care.
Thanks Sharon 🥰 Like you said, I just don't understand the point of taking the time to do this for such a small payout. Those 2 pattern are the Tankar Tee which is DK and the Lotus Lake which is fingering. I had a fairly quiet day with lots of knitting, podcast watching and chatting in the comments...so a pretty good day 🌞
Happy birthday!!! I'm so sorry to hear about the vandalism. Thank goodness the insurance is covering it!! Plan a nice little weekend away for the two of you once everything has settled down again - you deserve it. Hope Brad feels better soon!
Thank you 🥰 I ended up having a pretty nice day yesterday...quiet with lots of knitting, podcast watching and chatting here in the comments. I dragged Brad to the pharmacy last night to talk to someone and get some new medications. He's feeling a bit better this morning and hopefully we can avoid having to gonto the doctor 🤓
@knitsiphappy sounds like a lovely day!! 😊 we're full of cold/flu/other viral nonsense over here too and have also been for more medicine! Sending positive vibes to you both.
Hi Nancy - I hope you found some fun adventures or some self care in the form of yummy eats and knitting for your birthday. I am sure your hubby will do that Halifax weekend with you when he is healthy again. It is a bummer he was sick. I hope that you find ways of protecting your business so that thieves cannot cause immense damage to your livelihood. Your spinning looks neat. I am looking to get into spinning and I am taking the Turkish spinning class at Knit City Toronto to learn more. And today I am checking out the KW Weaver and Spinner sale here in Waterloo. The portable e-spinner you have looks neat and I like the yarn you've spun with the yellow and green tones. At Toronto I will look to get yarn for a Salty Air tee, and your TitsUp and TittyGaga sock patterns. For the socks I will be stopping by to see you at Yarn Indulgences. Hopefully I can catch up with both you and the Knit Chat Cafe ladies too. The three of you are lots of fun. Happy knitting, and take care of you. :)
Hello 👋 Thanks for touching base with me! I had a quiet birthday, but considering how busy it's been lately, it was very appreciated. I love spinning on my wheels, but I'm keen to try a supported or Turkish spindle...not enough time for all of the hobbies 🤓 I just started plying the green and yellow singles. I'll look forward to seeing you in Toronto...it's coming so quickly!!!
@@knitsiphappy Thank you Nancy. It sounds like your birthday was exactly what you needed. Pressing pause is not something we let ourselves do often. And you are so right re: so many hobbies, not enough time. :) See you in T.O.
I watched this Wednesday lunchtime, so a great big HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU. Hope you have a super year ahead of you. Know where you are with "Bring him. My son was in the Britsh Army from 17 through to 42 (when he retired from the Army). He went to Bosnia, Iraq, and Afgan twice, and that song was my always in my mind when he was away. It still hits home when I hear it and brings back that hollow feeling. I am sending you a hug for when you are watching it. Sx
Thank you Sheila 🥰 It's been a lovely start to the day with knitting and podcasts 🧶 That song just grabs you, when you love someone who serves in the military 😢 I can't wait to go and watch it live...it's been almost 30 years since I've seen it
Happy Belated Birthday! So sorry it started out crappy, hoping it got better, sometimes just a quiet day with comfort food and drink is good too! You are right on point, about us having nice things, but thank goodness for insurance. How about Rosetta for your new friends name?
Thank you 🥰 That's exactly what it was...a quiet day, with knitting, podcasts and a picnic dinner with Brad. Considering what's been going on here lately, I was very happy with that❣️❣️ Loving Rosetta 🐭
Happy Birthday!! Some days quiet days are the best ❤ Thinking I must knit myself a salty air tee - you're looks fantastic, might put it on my sept/oct knitting list though as we're cruising into winter here so summer knits are well and truely done for the next 5 months. Keep telling myself I need to have another finishing of WIPs month but next minute a new cast on happens or a new test knit call comes out and I sign up for 2 or them 🤔🤷♀️😂 I'll be up to double digits again as soon as my yarn for the 2nd one arrives 🤦♀️ Better sort that out before my bubba arrives at the end (hopefully not sooner!) of June ❤
Lol...it's our hobby and our happy place, so I fully support more cast ons 🤓 I'm still in full sweater wearing mode...it's still very cool, but I'm still dreaming about my next linen something 😃 Hope you're healing up 💕
Happy happy! Also, it’s too bad we can’t electrify our things lol mebbe they don’t break n steal if we shock the sheets of em…sharp edges are ok too! Maybe a plain outer cage w ninja sharp inner cage lol to save the innocents! Super hate thieves! And I totally wouldn’t endanger joe public. Hope you enjoyed the b-day pâté!🎉
Thank you Nikki 🥰 The birthday paté and cheese were just what the doctor ordered. Brad is looking up non-lethal ways to discourage any future *hitheads 😂
Oh Nancy - I am so sorry that happened to you and your business! I hope everything is resolved quickly and securely so it never happens again. Happy birthday 🎂- I say pick a later time to have a sweet birthday get away - you and Brad deserve it.
Thanks Beth 🥰 He's feeling better today and pootling in the garage welding metal to get the cage made. I didn't have to go to work, so I'm knitting and podcast watching...bliss 🥰 And I'm getting the cheque from the insurance tomorrow. Phew!!
Happy Birthday Nancy! I hope the actual day was better than the week leading up to it!

I too love Noelle and Kelly, they make Tuesday nights fun
Definitely ❣️ I don't very often get there live, but so much great knitting 🧶🧶

Happy Birthday Nancy! I would love for you to do a video showing your sweater adjustments. Ex: more short rows at the back, adjusting the stitches at the bust and increasing for a-line. I love your sock designs. I do toe up and have used a number of your stitch designs from the cuff down patterns. Of course I use your rounded toe recipe. It is my favourite!
Thank you 🥰 It was a quiet day, with as nutty as things have been lately, that was just fine 🤓
I keep intending to do a sweater modification chat, but I think I need to do a stand alone video, so I can easily refer back to it. Thank you for the boot up the bum to do it. Probably won't be until after Knit City, but I have put it in my calendar
Happy Birthday!!!! Always love ALL your podcasts!!! Enjoy your special day!!!! So very sorry you had so much damage at your store!!
Thank you Darlene 🥰 I had a very quiet day and that was OK considering all of the shenanigans 🤓
I’m so glad I saw you on Knits and Pieces! I am loving your podcast! Have a very Happy Birthday 🎊🎁🎈
Thank you Teena 🥰 I'm catching up with Kelly and Noelle now as I'm enjoying the day with my knitting and my online knitty friends 💕 Bliss 🧶🧶
Happy birthday Nancy, wishing you an awesome day, hugs
Thank you Nikki 🥰
Great episode, Nancy. Happy Birthday. I don’t spin but I have two rules for my knitting. No scissors after midnight and if you don’t like it now, you won’t like it 10 inches from now. Keeps me patient. :-)
Bahaha... no scissors after midnight. So true!!! Thank you for the birthday wishes 🎂 I've been very lucky and didn't have to go to work, so I'm knitting and podcast watching... bliss 🧶🧶
Aww Nancy ..sorry to hear that you have been going through so much at your buisness ! So much to go through at such a busy time let alone anytime . I hope everything gets resolved quickly, enjoy Toronto the theatre and the fun there at the fibre festival. Wishing you a belated Happy Birthday and thankyou for always being real with us we love you and all you share ,your beautiful knits and patterns loved to see you in person at FFF you are so lovely💕
Thank you Chrystal 💕 We are almost through the shenanigans at work with the alarm company coming on Monday to tie the new cage into the system 🤓 It was so lovely to spend a little time with you at Fiddlehead.
Happy Birthday Nancy! I was admiring your Salty Air Tee during the sock clinic. It's a beauty! I started a Bolan tee with Yarn Indulgences Silken Linen yard and loving it!!! 💓
Thanks Jeanette 🥰 I'm having a lovely day🧶🧶
I get so much wear out of my summer tees 🌞
Happy Birthdaaaaay Nancy!! I'm so bummed that I missed out on seeing you last night. I hope you have a fantastic day my friend and treat yourself! All DAY!! Cheers my friend xox
Thank you 🥰 It's been lovely so far 🧶🧶
Happy Birthday Nancy! So,sorry about the vandalism and theft at your business. I’m glad the insurance company did the right thing. I like the length of your Salty Air Tee but understand the concern of it growing. As usual you gave a lift to my day even if your life has had it’s challenges lately. I understand about pet mess as we have 4 cats and in my opinion 4 cats = 1 dog as far as the work is concerned. 😊
Thank you Christine 🥰 I'll be getting the check from the insurance company today or tomorrow.
We just need some milder weather so I can get my Salty Air into rotation and see how it wears 🌞🌞
Happy Birthday, Nancy! Sorry to hear about unexpected circumstances ruining your birthday plans! Great that you are also a Taurus, too! Hope you will have an awesome at Knit City! 🎂🎉🥳🥂🍾🎁🧶💐
Thank you 💕 I made the best of the day and got in lots of knitting and watched some podcasts. I went out and bought myself some beautiful flowers. Happy birthday to you too, fellow Taurus. Has yours passed already or is it coming up?
@@knitsiphappy Thank you, Nancy! Will do the same, hoping to take it easy and get some knitting time. Mine is coming up! ❤️
Happiest of birthdays to you, dear Nancy!🎉🎉🎉 I am very happy that you decided to record today. I enjoyed spending time with you. I love Les Miserables as well.😊
Thank you Dianna 💕 I love to come and have a chat and it definitely gave me a boost 🤓 So looking forward to Les Miz 🥺
Happiest of birthdays to you!! Enjoy Les Mis!!! That's my favorite! Lots of luck in Toronto! Sorry you have to go through all that is happening at work.
Thank you 🥰 I can't wait for Les Mis and hopefully I can get to another show
Happy birthday Nancy! My daughter and I are going to our local yarn store, The Creative Knitter in Ridgeway, Ontario on Saturday for local yarn store festivities. You mentioned Stephanie and showed her beautiful sock yarn for your new design so I am looking forward to buying some of this lovely yarn for my own socks. We look forward to meeting you at Knit City in a few weeks ❤🎉
Thank you Linda 💕 I hope you had fun at Creative Knitter yesterday. I enjoyed seeing Stephanie's pictures on Instagram. Knit City is coming so quickly...can't wait 💕
Sending best birthday wishes! Onwards and upwards ❤
Thanks Terry💕 Yes exactly❣️❣️ I feel like we are getting there. Brad has been a trooper working to get the cage built and we should be able to get the alarm company in soon to get it hooked up 🤓
Happy Birthday Nancy! Lovely projects as always! I am casting on a Salty Air Tee tomorrow - so it is lovely to see you wearing yours!! So sorry to hear of the copper coil thieves! I hope they get caught!!!
Yay!!! It's such a lovely make and I'm going to wear it loads 🌞 And thank you for the birthday wishes 😊
Happy Birthday. I received the lovely BlueberryFields bag on Saturday and immediately cast on the Tittygaga Socks. I have one done and the cuff of the second one. Love that you potentially named her Rosie, reminds me of AC/DC a whole lot of Rosie.
Thank you 💕
Yay!! I'm glad it got to you so quickly and for the Tittygaga cast on 🤓
Yes....Rosie 🤟
Happy Birthday Nancy 🎉🍷Thank you for your podcast. I enjoyed some knitting time as you chatted about your knitting & life. I am so sorry about the stressful situation at your business. It is maddening to think people can carry out such cruel crimes.
Les Mis is one of my very favorites also. ❤
Thank you 💕 It was a quiet day, but with everything going on, that wasn't the worst thing 🤓 I always love to come for a chat about all the yarnie things 🧶🧶
Thanks a lot for your inspirations. Best whishes for you and your family. Kindly
Thank you Juliane 🥰 I love coming to have a chat 💗
Happy Birthday Nancy. Even though you won’t have the trip to Halifax, I hope you have an extra special day and a fantastic year ahead!
Thank you Beverly 🥰 It was a quiet day and quite possibly the best it could be, considering 😆 Halifax isn't going anywhere and we'll get there soon. Coming and having a chat helped cheer me up 🤓
Happy Birthday! Enjoy whatever you do. Love your new hat.
Thank you Lisa 🥰 I didn't have to go into work, so I'm knitting and podcast watching today...bliss 🧶
Happy Birthday. Have a fun day ❤️🍾🍫🎂🎉
Thank you Barbara 🥰 It was fairly quiet with some knitting, podcasts and chatting here in the comments 🤓
Love watching all your videos to see what's happening next!
I suggest a shortie sock pattern for next years charity called Itty Bitty Titty! Thank you for sharing your time with all of us!
Thank you for hanging out with me Jeannette 🥰 I freaking love that suggestion 🌸🌸 So fun!!!
Happy birthday Nancy, loved the rambly podcast (except for the nasty thievery- do sorry you and Brad have had this happen to your business, good luck getting it all sorted), love your Salty Air tee, that colour really suits you. Huge congratulations on the fundraising with Tittigaga, excellent work. Thanks for podcastjng even under difficult circumstances - much appreciated as you keep me company (and teach me stuff) while I'm knitting. Have a nice relaxing birthday kitchen buffet xx
Thank you, thank you Hellen 🥰 I have the insurance cheque, the new heaters are installed and Brad has almost finished the cage. We hope that things will be back to normal later this week. I was so happy to come for a chat...yarn and knitting keeps me sane❣️
Happy Birthday Nancy I hope you can do something that brings you joy 😊 I am so sorry to hear about your store, I hope you are up and running soon. I love your salty air tee and your sock are lovely 🥰
Thanks Lorraine 🥰 I've been very lucky that I didn't have to go to work today, so it's been knitting and podcasts...bliss 🧶🧶
@@knitsiphappy Bless you lovely 🙏🏻🙏🏻😍😍
Happy Birthday Nancy!!!!
Thanks Carla 🥰
Nancy Happy belated birthday, just watched your podcast , sorry to hear about your vandalised units at the back of your shop . Lovely to see you again the salty air tee is very pretty I also like the length and colour .well done with the donation . Hope you enjoy your time in Toronto. Love your new friend .Happy crafting ,see you soon.
Thanks so much Davina 🥰 Getting really excited for Knit City and thankfully work has settled down with the units replaced 🤓
Happy Birthday! Take care and see you soon!
Thank you Lucia 🥰
Happy Birthday. Loved the rambling episode. It was nice to hang out with you as well. I don’t a have a local shop near me so I always get my knitting out and work one something.
Thank you 🥰 I'm so glad we can keep each other company. I'm knitting and watching podcasts today as a present to myself 🎁
Happy birthday Nancy
Thank you Janet 🥰
Happy Birthday Nancy ❤🎉
Thank you 🥰
Happy Birthday lovely lady! 🎉
I hope you forgot to pick up your camera because you were enjoying yourself and in a zone. You sounded like you needed to relax and unwind.❤🧶❤️🧶❤️
Thank you 🥰 Yes I was enjoying hanging out and looking at everyone's projects 🧶🧶
“Who am I…” oh do enjoy and sob and ton! Sorry for all the havoc at work it does feel like our society is struggling to be humane at times. Happy birthday! Cheese, bread and rose sounds like a perfect birthday dinner.
Jean Valjean... sigh. I'm so excited. I haven't seen it live since the mid 90's. Thank you for the birthday wishes... I've gotten lucky and didn't have to go in to work today, so knitting and podcasts. Bliss 🧶🧶
😄 Maybe we were at the same performance! My mother-in-law treatment us to the show when we visited her in ‘94. I still get all the ‘feels’ when I listen to the music. 🥂
Happy birthday Nancy! Copper theft is a common thing we have to deal with in South Africa. Well, one of many things in a high crime country, sigh. Atleast you have power there. Just sucks to be a victim of crime 😔
Thanks Colette 🥰 I had a quiet day with lots of knitting, podcasts and chatting in the comments here 🧶
🎉happy birthday Nancy, wishing you a wonderful year ahead 😊
Thank you Judy 🥰 It's been a lovely day with lots of knitting and watching podcasts. Bliss 🧶🧶
I’m sending very belated birthday wishes your way. I hope that by now all the workplace nastiness has been resolved, Brad is on the mend, you’ve been able to plan a new birthday/relaxation trip to Halifax, and your life is returning to its normal rhythm. I thank you so much for all the time, thought, and energy you put into making these podcasts. I enjoy them so very much and (I’m not sure you are able to hear me all the way from California) you just need to know that I keep a pretty steady conversation going with you. I need to do a bit of housework now so my “catching-up” on your episodes will have to wait until tomorrow, but I’ll see you then. Salam wa sa’aadah
Ahhh...thank you Linda❣️ And well done for being an adult and doing your housework 🤓 No time for the Halifax trip yet and I'm running out of time before busy tourist season starts 😬 Most of the workplace stuff is sorted...still a few lingering issues, but we're getting there. Thanks for asking and the best wishes 💕
OH NO!!! I am so sorry to hear about the damage and theft! There are no words for how it is these days. You are a good person and I pray that you keep your sense of humor up and keep knitting to relax. One day at a time! (it is a cleche but it's all we got!) I feel about Phantom of the Opera as you do for LeMiz. Oh and by the way HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
Thank you 🥰 I'll never stop laughing or knitting...they both help with the stress of real life. Oooohhhh! I love Phantom as well
Happy. Birthday wishes 🎉
Thank you 🥰 It was a nice quiet day with knitting and podcasts...not so bad 🤓🧶
Happy Birthday🎉 I hope it all gets made up to you soon!
Thank you 💕 It was a quiet day with lots of knitting and podcasts...bliss 🧶🧶
Happy birthday from Wisconsin!🎉 Hope it was nice!
Thank you Patricia 💕 It was!!! Podcasts, a little knitting and chatting with friends 🥰
🎉🎉 Happy birthday! I am so glad you came back to introduce Rosie! I was wondering what her name would be.
Thank you Anne 🥰 There were so many inventive and funny names and I fear that I've gone for the boring option 🤓
Happy Birthday 🎊🎁🎂🎈🎉
Thank you 🥰
Happy birthday, sorry about the thieves.
Thanks Noreen 🥰 It's been a lovely day 💕
Happy Birthday! So sorry about theft at your office building. We had that problem in the greater New Orleans area after Hurricane Katrina in the mid 2000’s. Nothing is worse that finding A/C compressors torn apart, plumbing ripped out and wiring stolen. We were so lucky the trailer we lived in was right on our lot. So many friends and neighbors were not so lucky. Seems like it happens more and more. I saw you on KnitChat and wanted to get your patterns during the fundraiser but had surgery later that week and it wasn’t till last night’s KnitChat that I realized I missed it. I will still get the patterns when my world gets back to some sort of normalcy🤪🤣🤣. I so enjoyed spending afternoon knitting with you! My crocuses are so confused they bloom in the middle of our hot New Orleans summers! My summer mini daffodils bloom in January! My irises and amaryllises are almost finished blooming. We are winding down spring and heading into summer. I am knitting on my first Salty Air Tee. I finished the sleeves right after I had a couple of inches knit of the body. So now I can knit the body till I run out of yarn. 💗💗🧶🧶
That's so disheartening when you hear about looting like you had after Katrina. I hope you are recovering well from your surgery and enjoying some recuperative knitting.
That's exactly how I love to knit my garments...sleeves first and then finish the body with what you've got left 🤓
So sorry to hear about the damage to your store and hope it's sorted soon.
Happy Birthday wishes 🍷🍷
Thank you Joy 🥰 I didn't have to go to work, so I've been knitting and watching podcasts most of the day 🤓
Belated Happy Birthday.
Thank you 🥰
Happy Birthday 🎉
Thank you 🥰
Happy Birthday Nancy and thanks for your podcasting time. I’m so sorry for the stress you’ve been out under. Take care. ❤❤❤
Thank you Maureen 🥰 I love coming to have a chat and it definitely cheered me up and distracted me 🤓 Hopefully it's wrapping up. I have the insurance check and the fortifications are almost complete. We just need our alarm guy to come in next week and get it attached to our system 🤞
Happy birthday!
Thank you 🥰
Struggling a bit today , I lost my wonderful amazing mum on Sunday and I'm so lost without her 💔, struggling to pick up my knitting right now , but I am enjoying having a catch up
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your lovely Mum. I'm sending you big hugs and hope that you will find some comfort in your yarn and needles 💔
I'm so sorry for what happened! Some people do terrible things and do not give a *** about how other people will suffer from those actions. I hope it never happens again in the future. 😥
It's very disheartening! But, the new units are in, Brad built the cage and we are waiting for the alarm company to hook it into our alarm system. Hopefully, that will take care of it
Gosh, I'm so sorry that happened to you with your business! It's so frustrating to see those things happen and then it's so much to deal with! I hope you get to have some chill time for your birthday and enjoy it! Happy Birthday Nancy!
Thank you Marie 🥰 It has started off well, with a lovely quiet morning, some knitting and podcast watching. You are next in my queue 🤓
@@knitsiphappy Yay for Birthday chill time...hugs!!
Happy Birthday Nancy lovely, hope you're having a wonderful day xoxo
Thank you 💕 It was a nice quiet day with lots of knitting and podcast watching...bliss 🧶🧶
Happiest of birthdays to you. It sucks that you got broken into like that.I had a break in at my old home a few years ago and of all the things that they took, they took away my peace of mind and that took a long time to get over . I hope the alarm company can help you so it doesn’t happen again. Try to enjoy your birthday my friend, don’t let them take that away too 💜
Thank you Wendy 🥰 I totally understand what you mean about the peace of mind and ours was less invasive than being in your home. That would take a while to feel secure again.
I had a quiet day of escapism 😀 I ignored the real world and watched podcasts, knit a little and chatted with friends 💕
@@knitsiphappy I’m glad you got to escape and podcasts are a great way to do it. Thank goodness for you lovely people who create content for us to watch and enjoy and escape and of course for our knitting 🧶
Happy birthday! 😊
Thank you 🥰
Happy Birthday 🎉🎂🎁🎈
Thank you Cheri 🥰 It was a day of podcasts, a little knitting and chatting with friends❣️
Happy Birthday Nancy and hope Brad feels better soon!
Thanks Klaske 🥰 My day has started out well...I don't have to work so I'm getting to knit and watch podcasts this morning. Poor Brad has had to go to work because I can't weld 😬
🎉🎉Happy Birthday 🎂 🥳 🎁
Thank you 🥰
Happy birthday Nancy. Have a wonderful day. It's a great podcast as always x
Thank you Jacky 🥰 It's starting off well...I don't have to go to work, so I'm knitting and watching podcasts 🧶
I’m doing well and enjoyed the episode. Hope Brad is well soon, the shop is all repaired and secured, and that you have a nice birthday in spite of the changes!!! 🥳🎈🎁💐🥳. Looking forward to your new creations!!
Happy Birthday Nancy, have a lovely day. 🎂
Thanks Robyn 🥰
Hi Nancy. I'm so sorry for the headaches the robbery has caused. I don't understand people at times bc like you said the cost to repair is so much more than what they stole. I was working on my second sleeve on my Tolsta while watching and looking at the 3 other summer cast ons I did a few days ago when nothing I had on my needles was making me happy. But I can't wait to see what summer knits your planning. I need to check out the tops you test knitted with drop shoulders bc I tend to stay away from drop shoulders bc they don't seem to fit right for some reason. Hope you enjoyed your staycation birthday this year and now you have a trip to look forward to when the time is right. Take care.
Thanks Sharon 🥰 Like you said, I just don't understand the point of taking the time to do this for such a small payout.
Those 2 pattern are the Tankar Tee which is DK and the Lotus Lake which is fingering.
I had a fairly quiet day with lots of knitting, podcast watching and chatting in the comments...so a pretty good day 🌞
happy birthday
Thanks 🥰 It was a quiet day, which was lovely after the crazy weeks we've had 🤓
Oh Nancy I am so sorry about what happened at your store. Wishing you a very happy birthday nonetheless!
Thank you Marina 💕 I've had a lovely start to my day with some knitting and watching podcasts 😊
@@knitsiphappy that sounds perfect 🤗
Happy birthday!!! I'm so sorry to hear about the vandalism. Thank goodness the insurance is covering it!! Plan a nice little weekend away for the two of you once everything has settled down again - you deserve it. Hope Brad feels better soon!
Thank you 🥰 I ended up having a pretty nice day yesterday...quiet with lots of knitting, podcast watching and chatting here in the comments. I dragged Brad to the pharmacy last night to talk to someone and get some new medications. He's feeling a bit better this morning and hopefully we can avoid having to gonto the doctor 🤓
@knitsiphappy sounds like a lovely day!! 😊 we're full of cold/flu/other viral nonsense over here too and have also been for more medicine! Sending positive vibes to you both.
Ugh...to you as well!! It seems late in the season for these shenanigans 🤧😷
@knitsiphappy agreed! Hopefully we'll all be through it soon.
Hi Nancy - I hope you found some fun adventures or some self care in the form of yummy eats and knitting for your birthday. I am sure your hubby will do that Halifax weekend with you when he is healthy again. It is a bummer he was sick. I hope that you find ways of protecting your business so that thieves cannot cause immense damage to your livelihood.
Your spinning looks neat. I am looking to get into spinning and I am taking the Turkish spinning class at Knit City Toronto to learn more. And today I am checking out the KW Weaver and Spinner sale here in Waterloo. The portable e-spinner you have looks neat and I like the yarn you've spun with the yellow and green tones.
At Toronto I will look to get yarn for a Salty Air tee, and your TitsUp and TittyGaga sock patterns. For the socks I will be stopping by to see you at Yarn Indulgences. Hopefully I can catch up with both you and the Knit Chat Cafe ladies too. The three of you are lots of fun. Happy knitting, and take care of you. :)
Hello 👋 Thanks for touching base with me! I had a quiet birthday, but considering how busy it's been lately, it was very appreciated.
I love spinning on my wheels, but I'm keen to try a supported or Turkish spindle...not enough time for all of the hobbies 🤓 I just started plying the green and yellow singles.
I'll look forward to seeing you in Toronto...it's coming so quickly!!!
@@knitsiphappy Thank you Nancy. It sounds like your birthday was exactly what you needed. Pressing pause is not something we let ourselves do often. And you are so right re: so many hobbies, not enough time. :) See you in T.O.
I watched this Wednesday lunchtime, so a great big HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU. Hope you have a super year ahead of you. Know where you are with "Bring him. My son was in the Britsh Army from 17 through to 42 (when he retired from the Army). He went to Bosnia, Iraq, and Afgan twice, and that song was my always in my mind when he was away. It still hits home when I hear it and brings back that hollow feeling. I am sending you a hug for when you are watching it. Sx
Thank you Sheila 🥰 It's been a lovely start to the day with knitting and podcasts 🧶
That song just grabs you, when you love someone who serves in the military 😢 I can't wait to go and watch it live...it's been almost 30 years since I've seen it
@@knitsiphappy I have never seen it. I'm not sure if I could cope.
I will have lots of tissues with me 😬
@@knitsiphappy I know that feeling. Enjoy. 💜💜💜💜💜💜
Happy Belated Birthday! So sorry it started out crappy, hoping it got better, sometimes just a quiet day with comfort food and drink is good too! You are right on point, about us having nice things, but thank goodness for insurance. How about Rosetta for your new friends name?
Thank you 🥰 That's exactly what it was...a quiet day, with knitting, podcasts and a picnic dinner with Brad. Considering what's been going on here lately, I was very happy with that❣️❣️ Loving Rosetta 🐭
Happy Birthday!! Some days quiet days are the best ❤
Thinking I must knit myself a salty air tee - you're looks fantastic, might put it on my sept/oct knitting list though as we're cruising into winter here so summer knits are well and truely done for the next 5 months. Keep telling myself I need to have another finishing of WIPs month but next minute a new cast on happens or a new test knit call comes out and I sign up for 2 or them 🤔🤷♀️😂 I'll be up to double digits again as soon as my yarn for the 2nd one arrives 🤦♀️ Better sort that out before my bubba arrives at the end (hopefully not sooner!) of June ❤
Lol...it's our hobby and our happy place, so I fully support more cast ons 🤓 I'm still in full sweater wearing mode...it's still very cool, but I'm still dreaming about my next linen something 😃 Hope you're healing up 💕
Happy happy! Also, it’s too bad we can’t electrify our things lol mebbe they don’t break n steal if we shock the sheets of em…sharp edges are ok too! Maybe a plain outer cage w ninja sharp inner cage lol to save the innocents! Super hate thieves! And I totally wouldn’t endanger joe public. Hope you enjoyed the b-day pâté!🎉
Thank you Nikki 🥰 The birthday paté and cheese were just what the doctor ordered. Brad is looking up non-lethal ways to discourage any future *hitheads 😂
You really have had a stressful few weeks. Hopefully things will get better.
It feels like we're getting there! The insurance cheque arrived, the units are installed and Brad has almost got the cage built...yay!
Oh Nancy - I am so sorry that happened to you and your business! I hope everything is resolved quickly and securely so it never happens again. Happy birthday 🎂- I say pick a later time to have a sweet birthday get away - you and Brad deserve it.
Thanks Beth 🥰 He's feeling better today and pootling in the garage welding metal to get the cage made. I didn't have to go to work, so I'm knitting and podcast watching...bliss 🥰 And I'm getting the cheque from the insurance tomorrow. Phew!!
