🌴☀️ missing and thinking of you, sister you are in my thoughts and my prayers☀️🌴

I love your podcast. I wish that you Will be healthy really soon!

Beautiful socks, any pattern for those?thank you 😊

Thank you for that beautiful prayer

Chain plying❤

Thank you for the lovely episode. I finally got the time to watch it till the end. I hope you’re getting well soon. My son suffered anemia in his teens because of aiha (an immune desease). Anemia can be frightening and draining indeed. He is fine now. Take care. I’ll be waiting very patiently for a next episode.

I really enjoyed this video because although I have been knitting for many years, I’ve recently become enamored with weaving and spinning as well and marveling at all the new doors this opens as far as being creative goes! As another person said, I too love your description of Sadhana and how it relates to your work. ☺️ Btw, I have been looking at your sewing machine! It’s very unusual looking…sort of antique but modern too. Do you talk about it in any of your other videos?

Thank you 🙏 for this video Would it be possible to give your recepe for your rounded toe on your husband socks…..?

I hope that you thoroughly enjoyed the movie and time to yourself. I am also a mother of 4 children. My oldest is 19 and my only daughter. My boys are 16, 10, and 7. It is so hard to believe that my daughter is basically an adult. She has been my helper from a very early age. My boys have and still give me so much love and joy. Wishing you good health and to know when you need to rest.

I adored this episode! I loved so much you talked about... From repairing clothing, to embroidery, to the griffendor wardrobe (I'm reading the series to my children right now!), and especially your deep love and connection to spinning. How do you prepare the Jacob fleece for spinning? I was generously gifted raw alpaca about a year ago and I've learned so much about preparing it! I would love to hear more about how you prep your fiber. Looking forward to the next episode!

Hi Daki! The Floresta is perfect for spring! I'm waiting not so patiently for spring to arrive here. Woke up to 27F/-3C this morning. The trees aren't really doing much of anything yet, but the daffodils are up and there are hints of green. The sorting hats always put me into Ravenclaw. I'm OK with that. I admit I keep looking at that knitted Hedwig and thinking maybe I need a knitted owl. I have real owls who sit in the tree outside my bedroom window, but I can't cuddle them. Pretty sure their interest in looking in my window is the cats who are looking back out at them. I can't seem to make the cats understand that the big birdy is thinking kitten under glass sounds like a marvelous meal (they are indoor cats because we have a lot of predators around here). Have you ever noticed that each breed of sheep has a different scent? Wensleydale smells different than Teeswater, smells different than Jacob, smells different than Icelandic, smells different than Rambouillet, Romney, etc. (even after washing). Jacob and Romney are my favorites for smell and both of them are available to me locally. Lucky me! I hope you manage to get your iron levels up so you feel better. Until next time!

Take good care of yourself sister 🫂 Loved your podcast, as always. Am still looking forward to the story about the Iron Lady one day! 😄 I think by know you can fill several podcasts with subjects and stories you didn't have time for 🤣 Another Amble & Knit? All in good time, hope you feel better soon 🍀 With love, Michèle

Thank you so much for picking my name for the giveaway! You are so generous, I am honored to recieve such a beautiful gift. I will message you on Instagram.

Hello Daki! I've been craving a new podcast that I can connect with and today I stumbled across Wool and the Forest! An amazing find, I am going to go back and watch the previous episode. My knitting centres and draws me inward, sadhana captures it beautifully (thank you for that, I've been trying to explain my connection with this fibre craft). Looking forward to future chats. Unfortunately, embroidery is not my strong suit (I dont think I have the patience for it) however I recently purchased a pattern for a sweater that has some embroidery detail. I am hopeful that I will embroider on wool, because I find it beautiful. Namaskaram.

I absolutely love spinning Jacobs wool. It handles so beautifully

Hi Daki, hopefully spring and sunny weather will help you to relax and recover! Warm greetings

Hello lovely, just found you, loving your podcast, approach to fiber arts with magic and love od nature. I share the same views :-) have you tried anatomical socks for your husband? They are shaoed specifically for big toe - Inknitted them for my daughter and they fit fantastically!

🌴☀️Hello you🙋🏽‍♀️I am somehow just seeing this new video in my feed, I am not able to articulate the emotion I feel knowing theres a new video…I’ve missed you so very much 🌸. I decided to purchased the Harry Potter knitting book as I’m a huge fan as well. My favs are the Dueling Club fingerless mitts, Buckbeak Pullover, House & Transportation Scarfs. I don’t believe I’ve ever purchased a knitting book having totally loved more than 2 projects wow! I’d love it in a future podcast chat about session if you could share how you learned to spin in a slightly detailed fashion. I’ve considered purchasing a wheel over the past 2 yrs (so costly goodness😱) & value your input on the resource(s) you leaned to (I’m guessing you grew up seeing it🤭first hand). About Anemia: Although it was used as a staple tonic in the home I grew up using Ferrol (is it 1 or 2 “ r’s ”) it has helped me a lot during my adult life also during the menses as well. Also, maybe incorporating some Ragi Millet in your routine. Sending you so much love, peace & creativity, I can’t say enough I’ve missed you terribly. On an intimate note, if I could choose who my mum would be if I return again…it would be you or a woman like you. Take good care sistren☀️🌴

Thank you for sharing you are amazing

I did buy The book The Nordic Knitting Primer which you highly recommended. I love it and am working through the patterns.love love it

Thank you for the tip on using Felt for centre of flowers. Love the jumper you are wearing looks like a lot of work.

If you want to check it out, there is a crochet Harry Potter pattern book by the same author 😊

I've just discovered your podcasts and I suscribe. Thank you for sharing your knitting and your thoughts. I love the way you talk about the fiber (spiritually, emotionnally etc.) So similar and complementary to how I experience it. It's a pleasure. Thanks.

Beautiful knitting! Love your podcast

Hi Daki, I am an intuitive spinner (and weaver) too and I resonate deeply when you talk about the spiritual dimension you experience. For me personally it’s even stronger when I use the drop spindle. It’s like I don’t know Portals opening to ancient rooms and spaces. It’s so powerful and connecting in many ways. Thanks for talking about all this and showing up with such a quiet and vivid mind and heart even in a physically not so well period. All the best for you and all other wool- and fibresisters out there and of course for everyone going through a strong period, keep up, Ann

Hi, love your podcast! For anemia try raw beets juice twice a week. It works for me, maybe it will help you too. :)

I was so excited when I saw your new episode and so sorry that you've been ill. Please take care of yourself. Sending all the healing energy and love to you and your family. I cannot wait for your Harry Potter wardrobe. Your knits are stunning and your spinning sings. Happy knitting and creating 💚🧶💚

Lovely to see your smiling face and hear what has been happening there with you. Sending wishes for continued improvements in your health! 💚

So very nice to see you again. I do hope that you will be better soon regarding the anemia. It hit myself some years ago and I ended up self injecting B12 every other day and also eating a lot of liver and other good meats as well as fat from animals. This has now made a huge difference for me. And I still self inject EOD, probably until my symptoms will subside but I think the rest of my life. I have learnt a lot about B12 recently and it is such an important vitamin which cooperates with so many others like iron, folate and all the other B-vitamins as well as potassium and the uptake can only be done in the form of B12 from the animal kingdom. B12 deficiency has a long row of nasty symptoms as it is one of the most important ones for many different functions in our bodies (from eye sight and tinnitus to trembling and the whole nervous system). So if you haven't, pleas check it up. A deficiency long gone can be irreversibly. Also have a read at the B12 Institute in the Netherlands, they are world leading of the topic. Your podcast is such a joy to listen to and hear all the stories you tell about the hand craft you make. Thank you for sharing. And I so adore the jumper you are wearing and the one you have on your needles is so beautiful. Can't wait to hear all about it in a future podcast. Thanks for keeping med company whilst knitting 🥰

Because I'm new to spinning, I had spun A LOT of fiber that went from super fine to chunky, and from undertwisted to too twisted. It looked like a mess! I used it to knit a simple garter stitch triangular shawl and it turned out beautifully. It's sort of "rugged" looking (not fine and delicate), but I love it. Maybe you can use your "tame art yarn" to knit something using garter stitch. You could use the fine single that is cream colored to add a simple edging to whatever you knit from the "art yarn."

Your planned wardrobe sounds very exciting! I hope you were able to go and enjoy seeing the movie ❤

Lovely to see you again! I know as a mother and a wife it's hard to recognize our inherent value and give ourselves the gift of self care, but remember that a dry well quenches no one's thirst. If we don't care for ourselves first, we will soon be unable to care for anyone else. Years ago I had problems with anemia too. I learned that iron is best absorbed from a high protein meal. Try taking your supplements and/or high iron foods with eggs, meat, fish and fowl for best absorption. Also consider cooking in cast iron as it adds to your regular iron intake. Blessings to you and your family and increasing good health!

Another beautiful podcast thank you for sharing your time and making the episode always appreciate you, your asthesic and content in the podcasts.

Oh gosh Daki I hope your anemia gets cleared up. That has to be frightening and frustrating. ❤️ I have to say that I envy you for where you live. I miss the little tiny blackberries that are a chore to find and painful to fight off the stinging nettles to boot. But they make the best jams and pies! You knits, handspun yarn and embroidery are beautiful. Take care. 🌷🪻🌸🌻🌹

Very happy to see you. Take care of yourself. Your spins are gorgeous.

Lazy Kate is the name. I so enjoy your podcasts when you find time. As a mother of 4 now grown children, I totally understand finding those precious bits of time for yourself/craft. I love the simplicity of what you do which I see as a reflection of times gone past. Kudos for achieving that : ). Your health will improve. As a knitter and newer spinner, I look forward to your episode on spinning. My husband has commented that I look at total peace when spinning. I couldn’t agree more. All the best to you!

lovely podcast, again🫶🏻 thanks for sharing I love to listen to your lovely voice and your interesting stories while I am knitting…. greetings from switzerland 🇨🇭

Love your Jacob spin. Reminds me of the Jacob and Laban story of the sheep. So relaxing to listen to your podcast while I knit!

❤

🌴☀️you are in my thoughts…light & love☀️🌴

❤

Luv this💖🧶✨ Yes, would luv to see a recipe for your Potter socks💛🧶 Big Hugz, your new subscriber from Oregon💖🧚✨

❤

I just love to hear whatever you are talking about because it's like sunshine I my heart, the way you love the crafts that you are doing goes straight into my head and makes me smile ❤ Thank you very much for the time you put into your episodes and for sharing and giving me as a viewer so much inspiration. And also thanks for keeping me company 🥰 The Chainmail sweater is truly beautiful much more so than the original 😍

Hello, just came across your channel. I am truly happy that I did! Yes, please share your sock recipe(s)! Thank you. Very touching ending to your video, thank you again!🙏🏽

I knit the Sweater you wear I think 2 years ago. It was so much fun. I love it and have to do another one. Thanks for remembering.

The sweater you're wearing looks really beautiful on you! 🤍

OK some more serious thoughts, as short as I can because I don't want to take over the entire comment section 😆 I love your chainmail sweater, really appreciate the close ups and to see you wearing it in real life, this does it so much more justice! It looks gorgeous on you! (But I suspect you could wear a plastic bag and still look gorgeous in it 😍) I also really appreciate all you're telling us about handspun and unprocessed wool. I really thought that such yarns don't make for very strong knitting. That the yarn is much more delicate and therefore the knitted fabric will be too. Which doesn't have to be a problem for a sweater/jumper, depending on the pattern, but I never imagined that such yarns could be suitable for socks! And that the very thing which makes the yarn delicate causes the felting, which in fact will result in sturdier knitwear! It seems pretty obvious perhaps... but consider me amazed and intrigued 😄 Also, I was whooping just now because I am LITERALLY knitting with Camarose Lamauld as I'm watching this episode! I made a sweater for my daughter and now working on another sweater for my little boy who is growing like mad so I hope he'll still fit it when it's done! I wish I could show you a picture... The locally sourced handspun yarn sounds absolutely wonderful. I hope you can find the time to spin to your heart's content ❤🙏 (And if you're ever considering selling some of your own local handspun yarn, I would be interested!)

So much you said resonates with me. I am 80, starting to really knit, very concerned about the climate and even had two Icelandic horses. Wish we could talk in person…and the town my grandmother born in, Papa has an indigo dye history……so much I am thinking.
