I’ll not unsubscribe really enjoy your podcasts. Thanks for all your effort. Hope you enjoyed the Ribble Valley a lovely part of Lancashire.

Keep going with the heel. The answer is out there somewhere xx

Heel flap and gusset takes longer, but actually fits. It's worth the effort.

Have you tried a fleegle heel? I find they fit really well. I have a basic vanilla pattern with a fleegle heel that I can send if that helps?

Hi Rachel! That was a fun one! I'm glad you had pressed record 😂

Hello from North Yorkshire! I'm new and I really enjoyed your podcast so thank you. I have adhd, and three kids with adhd and autism so I like the way your brain works. It just makes sense to me! Your makes are all so lovely, and I'd love to give the cardi a go. Can't believe your holiday, my husband took our kids camping and ended up next to a couple who argued really loudly every night. When he asked them to keep it down the man got two axes out of his van, luckily everyone is okay and the man was arrested. Also my eldest had terrible growing pains, he's just finished college so it was a long time ago now. I remember running him warm baths in the middle of the night to help with the pain, it was horrible and I really hope your boy's pains stop soon. I'll have to catch up with your your back episodes! Xx

I also have ADHD so I love the random anecdotes. I honestly can't watch the calm, thoughtful, podcasts with high production values because they're too boring. Not in a "this is totally lame" way, but my brain just gets bored and I start doing something else at the same time and realise I've tuned the whole thing out. I often have to watch things at 1.25x speed. You're fine, my brain likes the way you do things. It's weird hearing you talk about I have heard really nice things about the new yarnsmith dk acrylic for blankets but all I've used of their new yarns is the sock yarn which is beautifully soft and while I've knit with it, it's not been worn yet. And, while I live in Scotland, I am American and we don't have Wilco or Boyes where I am so I needed the explanation, thank you.

I love that you jump from subject to subject - it makes your podcast much more real. I am married to someone who has ADHD and autism, so I am quite happy with that kind of conversation. I like autumnal colours myself, usually quite dark and moody, so it is a breath of fresh air to see you with all your neons and brights. I would never wear them myself, but it is lovely to see you decked out in them. I am from Cheshire (though have been in exile in the South East for almost 40 years 🥲) and can attest that the proper term for an alley is a gunnel!! Jinny

Lovely podcast I have stuck the hoodie shawl cardigan on my list 🎉 would love to cast on now but I’ve got the gansey on the go and also I want to cast on a radiate too and arghh!!! I also loved the puppo snoring 😂 xx

My son used to get really bad growing pains too when he was younger. It was horrible to see, especially as i couldn't do anything to help, but thankfully it didn't last too long.

Hi from Northern Minnesota in the US. I am a new subscriber and your use of amazing color is what caught my eye. I love your bold choices they are fun to look at, but most importantly you look so happy and excited working on them and wearing them. And that is what makes your videos stand out for me. I don't want everything to be stage set. I want to see people enjoying their hobby. And a extra joy comes when they show us pets! Bonus points if it's a fat orange cat! Thank you for sharing this with us.

A snicket is what you call an alley. A Gunnel is a snicket which is under cover, you would probably call it a passage

Love your love of colour. Will definitely keep an eye out for your destash. Happy knitting x

Hi Rachel I love your podcasts…I’m not a rainbow knitter but all your gorgeous rainbow knits just make me so happy!! You put all the colours together so beautifully…really love the purple and yellow one ❤. You have inspired me so I have been getting the spectrum fibre tropics mini club each month and will be knitting the little squares blanket in all those lovely brights!!!! Please Don’t stop podcasting you’re one of my favourites!!❤❤

Glad to have found you! (Waves from HX! 🎉)

Thank you for the new episode. It's always great to see all you projects ♥

Lovely projects as ever Rachel

I love where you store your Pepsi max 😂❤

Lovely to see all your knits , I always think 4 th of July is special because over 25 years ago, I spent several summers working for camp America and they really know how to celebrate.

Love the dye candy pink ❤

Hi Rachel, thanks so much for your super fun filled podcasts, love your shawl, and thank you for all the amazing colours that you bring to the podcast. 🙏 x

The shawl is gorgeous. I always love your colour choices. Well done on making it to the end of the school year 💪🎉

The shawl is gorgeous and your choice of border is fab😊

I love the green jumper you are wearing. The destash yarns you got are all beautiful. I was a Reception teacher for 23 years. I taught other years up to year 4, and believe me, no age group is as lovely as Reception. 🤞🤞🤞for a good election result by the end of today 🌹. Jinny

It's nice so take time for myself, sit and knit and watch your podcast 😊 Seeing all your FOs I always make plans for my next projects - I really need to start my Lento 🧶 I never knitted with bobbly yarn but I love the look of your new Lento ❤

Hi, for your Lento, did you use just one skein of each yarn for the body?

Thanks for showing your Wool Monty haul, I really wanted to go but was just too busy so it's nice to see what you got.

Your podcast came up randomly on my feed and I really enjoyed it. Your colours are very different from the ones I choose, but it is great to see variation. FYI - goose poo is all shades of green, but if they eat something like blueberries, that will affect the colour!! I have subscribed and will also follow you on IG. Jinny

I love your new lento Rachel! I may have got some yarn to hold with a stash slub I have to make one myself!

Lovely colourful knits :)

I know I'm repeating myself, but it's great to watch the episodes and see all the knitting 🧶😀. Thanks for the episode ♥

❤

Free evening for me means I can catch up on more then one episode 😀 Love your Granny crochet wrap and the simply rainbow sweater 😍

Still catching up and it's great to see all your projects 🤩 Thanks for sharing ❤

Thank you for this episode, my lovely! I love all of you projects but I did get a sense that you were a little more nervous when podcasting this first time in a different way! Please don't feel nervous or anxious about your podcasting! I will always stay subscribed and watch you from whatever angle or take you make! I just love that you are so down to earth and natural, and I just love to see you bright and happy projects! You are a treasure so keep podcasting! PS I adore your dogs and I really love to see them pop their cute little heads up everynow and again! Life is real life so let them pop up and stay in the video in future!

Thank you for the new episode. As always, I love to see all your knitting 😃 Until now, all I have knitted were simple raglan sweaters. But seeing your Hoodie shawl cardigans I really should give it a try an knit something different ☺

Try the Maven tee,Tolsta tee, Breezeway tee, Coloring Book tee,Bustleton tee.

Love your knits and podcast, what breed are your dogs?

Great podcast as always, I enjoy your projects as we have very similar taste in patterns and yarn 😊

Looking fab as always ❤

love the cardigans. How about an icord edging?

I am catching up on your episodes, and like every time seeing all your knitting is very inspiring for me. Thank you for taking the time to film new episodes ❤ now it's about time to pick up my sweater and start working on the sleeves ☺

Great podcast, as always! I love to see your knits! I purchased the 12 day Advent + main skein (sock weight) from Spectrum Fibre! Did you? I have purchased her Advents in 2023 and 2022 and have not been disappointed so, yes, I knew I had to purchased her 2024 Advent too!

Thank you for the new episode. It was a very cozy episode. I felt like sitting with you on the couch, while crocheting on my blanket ☺ Lento is also a sweater I want to knit. But after 3 sweaters for kiddo, I needed a sweater-break 🥴Unfortunately I don't have a recommendation for a garment, I've knitted only raglan sweaters in the last couple of months. Since I had a little youtube break, I can now follow up on your previous episodes 🤓

Lovely podcast ❤ I’m on a mission to finish my shawl this weekend. Finished my assignment for the day going to do a bit of housework then settle down for the evening 🎉

I’m planning to film on Monday 😂❤

I've purchased my Bobble & Badger yarns Wallace and Gromit advent. Nice podcast as usual. Like your green stripes of joy. ❤

So tempted to get an electric ball winder. I also hate caking yarn 😂 Very much enjoyed this podcast. Can't believe how much you've managed to get knit!! xx

Wow you’ve got so much done. I bought those exact 2 shawl patterns too! Maybe we can cast one on together?
