Hi Becky, I hope all is well with you and your family. Just to let you know, you're missed. X
Hi, i miss you… Hope you and your Family are all well. ❤
Hey, I've just noticed it's been a while since you last uploaded anything. I hope you're ok. I love your videos, they're always so peaceful. No pressure to upload anything, though, I know how much effort it takes!! Sending hugs x
Hi, I've only just got caught up with you after a few months of problems with my Mum, who sadly died in February. Hope you and your family are well. ❤
Everything looking lovely, can't wait to see the cable sweater come along! Welcome home Jack! :)
Congratulations on your lovely finished Yule sweater and Wee County Yarns cowl. So much work in them and you've made them so beautifully. I fell in love with the Wee County Yarns project from the first little pack of yarn you opened in the advent and really enjoyed watching you progress through it. I also watched the kits as they sold on the website, wanting to buy one, and when it got down to 2 kits left I thought I just had to get one of them or I'd regret it. A late Christmas present to me. all the best
Fabulous yule sweater, you are so talented and inspiring😊
Wonderful !❤ I just found your channel. You have such lovely color work knits. And to my surprise you are also making the Dune Blanket by Attic 24. Our progress is almost the same😅. I am now subscribed to your channel.😊
I just finished ‘The Maid’, in Dutch. Got it for Christmas, loved it. Also love your Harvey 🐰🥰
I am just here for the Battenberg ❤
😊
Always lovely to see you and all your beautiful projects. The Yule sweater is absolutely stunning! Well done for finishing that epic project.
Thank you so much! 😊
Unwell in bed today but found some lovely new YT channel's to comfort me (might have to pull a longer sicky at this rate 😂) this vlog feels like a I found a mislaid Christmas Present (to me 😉) Thank you & it’s still January so I’ve time to wish you & yours a Very Happy New Year! ❤😘
Happy New Year to you too! I hope you feel better soon and thanks for watching. 😊
Great podcast Becky and love all the colourwork! Just wondering if you know where to purchasae the JC Rennie Hawthorn colour on it's own? I imagine the advent probably didn't have enough to make the whole cardigan, but when I go the JC Rennie site to get a large garment amount, they don't seem to have it? The colour is stunning and the colour combo swatch for the Tioraidh is just beautiful <3
Thanks so much for watching! 😊 It's under their mini balls - if you order more than 10g they wind it into larger skeins for you.
@@BacktoBlighty Oh thank you so much! It's a lovely colour <3
Lovely vlog once again......hope Harvey behaved himself and your curtains were safe x
Thank you - Yes, he was a very good boy!
Goodness Becky you have been busy! What a fabulous collection of knits. I especially love your Lana vest and very tempted by that. Hope you enjoy Jamaica Inn. Glad Floss is doing well too 🐶
Thanks Emma - the Lana vest is a lovely pattern, I recommend it! 😊 xx
The yarn, Tioraidh, is Scottish Gaelic for Cheerio, its pronounced something like (really pronounce the ch sound) cheery. The cowl and yule jumper are amazing. Such lovely Xmas presents.
Thanks so much! I'll try to pronounce it next time and you can tell me if I butcher it again!! 😉
How lovely to see you! Your pullover is looking very good indeed! 🤗
Thanks Ali - I FINALLY got it done! 😊 xx
Lovely podcast Becky. Finally getting back into the swing of knitting/spinning/weaving after a fairly disastrous 2023. Only problem was that, yesterday, when I decided to sort through my stash, I discovered a whole bag of yarn , obviously for a designated project, only to realise that I hadn't a clue as to which project!!! It was hubby who came to the rescue 😂. He described very well, what he thought I had bought it for. He was correct! He obviously is more aware of what is going on, than I had realised!! Finished my Braids of Grass yesterday, so will cast on new project today! Yay!!
Thank goodness for hubby! 😉 I hope you like the Braids of Grass - it's a great pattern isn't it?!
It is a lovely pattern. However, I think the finished jumper is a bit short in the body for me, so I am going to lengthen it. Thank goodness it was knitted topdown!
Thanks Becky for another great podcast. I love seeing your stunning Knits, you are inspiring me to finally have a go at some colourwork, but much simpler than the gorgeous Yule Sweater. A book that I just listened to on Borrowbox which I recommend is "The vanishing of Margaret Small" by Neil Alexander. A very moving novel based on a true story. Worth a look .❤
Thanks for the recommendation, I'm always on the look out for a good read. Good luck with the colour work - it can be addictive!! 😉
Thank you. Loved the Lana Vest and added it to my ever growing list!
Thank you, it's a great pattern! 😊
I always look forward to your podcasts and generally I am quite taken with your projects and do love the Lana vest and think I have just the perfect yarn to make it. Always nice to find a pattern for the yarn in your stash that is not enough for a sweater and your are so anxious to use it, so thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks so much for your lovely comment. The Lana is great - I will be knitting more in the future! 😊
Your colour work knitting is just amazing and I always like to hear book recommendations. 😊
Thank you! 😊 I'm so glad you enjoy the book chat.
Thank you Becky for your beautiful podcast!
Thank you for watching and commenting!! 😊
Good to see you again! I started following you and Ali and Belinda during Vlogmas.id never heard of Vlogmas before but I’m so glad I discovered it on YT. I am a beginning knitter and I live in the US. I read Murder on the Christmas Express along with you and my assessment was along the lines of yours and Ali’s. Perhaps Belinda has said something about it, but I don’t know. I’d read another book by the same author if it centered on Roz in her new life after retirement and as a grandmother. Best wishes to you and yours. One of our grown sons is living with us while working remotely and saving to buy a house.as you say, it is wonderful to have him with us.
Thanks so much for tuning in, I'm glad you enjoyed my witterings!! Yes, Roz was a great character but the storyline was a bit flat. It's lovely to have our boys home again isn't it?! 😊
Lovely podcast Becky - so glad I started watching you last year! All your finished pieces look fabulous, and so do your colourful swatches.
Thank you! 😊
They are lovely warm socks (Manchester United colours) and very much appreciated...thankyou so much 😁
Ha!! I told you that I didn''t care!! 😉 I'm glad you liked them and it was a pleasure (kinda!) 😂 x
Lovely to see you here and see your wonderful knits. So good to hear Jack is doing well and loving his new job. That’s really good news. We are three generations who all live together and it is wonderful. Have a super weekend. 🧶
Thanks so much for watching - 3 generations, that's brilliant!! 😊
Loved all your finished projects Becky, they are lovely, especially your colour work jumper.. 🥰
Thanks so much! 😊
Such beautiful knits❤❤
Thank you!! 😊
Brilliant lovely pal. I adore my hat & special pompom & Shaun loves his MAN UTD socks 😂 xx
Ha! 😂 😂 Football? *puts fingers in ears*. I'm glad you love your hat. xx 😊
Lovely to see you and your beautiful knitting. The Yule sweater is a work of art! I love your finished cowl and I so enjoyed watching it being knitted during vlogmas. So glad to hear dear Floss is doing better after her operation. Take care and thank you.
Thank you so much! 😊
Your swatch for the abandoned project would be a great mug rug! So pretty!
That's a great idea! Thank you! 😊
Lovely to see your vlog. I've missed you since we finished Vlogmas. Glad to hear Jack is doing well. I must confess I gave up on the Christmas Express book. I don't often do that, but I bought it as a Christmas read and it really wasn't!
Thank you, it's lovely to be back! Yes I agree, the book was disappointing! 😊
Hi and Happy New Year dear Becky - that was just so very enjoyable 😊 I love your Yule jumper and I took great comfort in the fact that others take a longer time for such very special knits - just this afternoon I finally cast off the collar of my “Twisting Paths” cardigan which has panels of quite intricate cables. What a pity that you couldn’t get gauge on the Ella Gordon vest but I totally agree with you re ditching it - besides the Kate Davies cardigan is totally gorgeous. I have her “Sark” book with half a dozen projects from it lined up! Have a great time as you head towards Spring - here in Tasmania we’re having a very changeable Summer - horrid wind and rain as I speak - only one more month to go before we can breathe a sigh of relief that we’ve had no bushfires!
Thank you so much! I am looking forward to making the cardigan - I think all of Kate's designs are beautiful. Fingers crossed that the bushfires stay away.
Thank you for another lovely video Becky. Love all your knitting and crochet projects. I just finished the book Mad Honey, I loved it. 🦘😄
Thank you! I enjoyed the book too. 😉
So great to see what you have been making. I love the cables. And thanks for the book reviews.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Fab video as always 😊 The jumper and cowl finishes are amazing.
Thank you! 😊
I watched you and Jack knit on your Yule jerseys in vlogmas and Am now beginning my colourwork journey. Wow and Thankyou
Yay! Congratulations on starting your colourwork journey - I'm sure you'll be addicted in no time! Thanks for watching. 😊
What a lovely video. Your colourwork is amazing/brilliant/beautiful - I don’t have enough adjectives. You’re a beautiful knitter. And crocheter. The blanket looks great. I’m glad Jack is back home. He is a nice young man. Thanks too for updates on your dad. I think lots of us are taken with him :). Glad his wee dog is doing really well. Already looking forward to your next video 🤗🇨🇦
Aww, thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely comment! 😊. Dad loves to read all the comments, so he'll be really chuffed with yours!
Love your color work! And good to see you back. Happy 2024.The Yule sweater is beautiful. sad you are not making the vest. Beautiful swatch.
Thank you! 😊. Sometimes you just have to give in when something doesn't work out. At least there are so many beautiful options to choose from.
All your work is so lovely. Thank you for reminding us that half the winter is almost over. In Pennsylvania USA we had very low temperatures as most of our country did. We were dealing with snow and ice. It is above freezing again so it is much better. I have been working on quilts. My current one was started in the early 1980's before all the current tools we have now. It is taking so long. Some projects like your Yule sweater are worth the extra time and effort. 🤗
Wow, your quilt sounds amazing! I always think that long term projects are the best because they hold so many memories. 😊. Thank you for your kind message and I hope the big thaw comes soon!
I enjoyed journeying with You❤ I love your Christmas Cowl and all you finished projects and works in progress
Thanks so much! 😊
I love your Lana Vest.
Thank you! 😊
Your Yule sweater is absolutely amazing!!!!!! Wow! Love it ! ✨🤩👌
Thanks, I'm so happy with it! 😊
So happy to watch your podcast today. I just love all your projects and am inspired by your colorwork and cable jumpers. I may have to challenge myself and try the Lana Vest. I love how oversized and comfy it looks. Glad to hear that your family are all doing well. You also look very happy and content. I seem to have the same taste in books and have added your recommendations to my list. Looking forward to seeing your allotment as spring begins. Its still cold here in Colorado but not the below zero temps of January. Take care and see you next time.
Thank you! 😊. I do recommend the Lana vest - it is so clear with both written and charted instructions. I need to get up the allotment and do some digging ready for spring planting. I hope you enjoy How to Build a Boat, it was such a good story! 😊
Lovely to see you ,,Becky!!! You do amazing g work,,,,!!!that sweater is amazing,,,and that cowl,!!! Great you keeping busy,,, Elaine 🏡💖
Thanks Elaine, I hope you are keeping well. 😊
I love it when one of your videos pops up in my feed. I believe this is the second sweater you’ve knit called “Eclair,” the first by Karen Fernandes. I loved that sweater so much that I bought the pattern and yarn. For some reason I had a hard time attaching the second side of the split seam (it just doesn’t seem right), so it has sat in time out for months.
Yes, you're right! I forgot about the other Eclair! I'm sorry that your project is in time out, I hope it behaves soon! 😊
I love that colour work jumper finishing, it is stunning. I felt exactly the same re The Murder on the Christmas Express, a book that left you with so many questions. I think it was the Christmas Express just so they could get stuck in the snow
Thank you! 😊. Yes, I feel that it was a bit of a marketing ploy to get people to read it!
It was so nice to see you again, Becky. I love your colorwork sweater. Your Advent cowl looks like it would have been fun. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you. The cowl was so much fun to knit! 😊
Great to see you again Becky! Love your cowl - such beautiful colours. Always look forward to your videos! So pleased you are thinking about recording mini vlogs! I loved your vlogmas' 😃
Thank you! I quite fancy doing a little vlog during half term, especially as spring is in the air! 😊
