    Dear Sister. I finally got around to watching this Part 2. I am sitting in bed, adorning myself with henna as I watch. How beautiful. How affectionate. How touching this video is to me. Your videos always make me feel hungry! And as I watch your family, I think just how blessed your precious children are to have such parents. And vice versa. Love to you all! Auntie Nam.

    people complaining about sniffling like they've never sniffled in their life haha You are human! :P I love your vlogs, my mother is sri lankan , you give off wholesome warm vibes, and you're so chill and natural in front of the camera. Thank you for sharing your part of the world today! xx

    Your mention of Korea just brings so much nostalgia. I lived in Seoul in the early 2000s and would shop a lot in Dongdaemun. I was still in the beginning of my knitting “career” when I came to the end of my time there and still miss it to this day over 12 years later.

    • @woolandtheforest
      @woolandtheforest  Před rokem +1

      How lovely to hear this! My life changed completely in Korea so it's such an important place for me. Very special memories 💙

  • @erinlisaaulfinger9594

    I don't knit from a particular container, but i am often knitting at my desk--I have three little friends. A plushie school mascot I bought because he seemed lonely in the shop (the last one left), a mini crab squishmallow my friend bought me inspired by an inside joke (I called a coloring page of a crawdad a crab), and a minihusky squish I got for my fiance, which is a miniature of a medium size husky squish I own--just a reminder that even though he lives far away right now, he is always going to return, and someday never have to leave again.
    Sometimes, my cat Hazel sleeps on the desk with me, too!

    • @woolandtheforest
      @woolandtheforest  Před rokem

      Oh it sounds like a delightfully cozy setup Erin! I especially love the sound of the squishmallow crabby 🥰 and as someone who lived apart from my own beloved for years and went through an entire pregnancy and giving birth without him by my side, let me tell you that these days of of being apart will make your union even stronger when that separation finally ends 💙

    It was lovely to catch up with you today while sitting in the dark with just the glow of the tree for company. The driftwood tree looks so beautiful and the decorations just perfect. I love the bikkie grotto, what a wonderful tradition! Happy solstice to you all. 🎄 ✨

    I was just thinking about your videos earlier before you released this and thinking that what really appeals to me so much is the dark deep tones of the footage. I love the dark videos, it's so suited to this time of year.

    I crochet which i learn from utube. I am very grateful..i was getting really bored with my 2 year old did not know what to do as i couldnt keep him alone..fast forward i made 2 jumpers and more..
    However..really want to knit...but really struggling. I hope you can tell us bit more about your interesting life in the forest..i would love a simple life to be honest.
    And i have always found Srilankan to be very friendly and love the hot food...
    Oh i am from Bangladesh originally but live in London, UK.

    • @woolandtheforest
      @woolandtheforest  Před rokem

      Hello there and welcome to the channel! And yes, Sri Lankans really do love their spice and very hot food 😄 I encourage you to give a few simple knitting projects ago, perhaps a hat worked in the round or even a sweater that is worked in pieces; I find that for beginner Knitters knitting in pieces is a much easier way to start than to knit in the round. Thank you so much for your sweet comments!

    Such a gentle & beautiful podcast.. I am so happy I found you a while ago. You bring such serenity into a world full of noise.. thank you for sharing your time with us. The baking really touched me as it reminded me of my dear nanna who sadly passed many years ago.. but such wonderful memories of baking with her, and which I still do today for my own family. Thank you for sharing you & your husband's wonderful talents & projects. May you all have a blessed time during this season & a happy & gentle new year 💕 Tea

    • @woolandtheforest

    Beautiful and inspiring. Love how you bring the indigo blue together with red for Christmas. ❤💙 the tree is awesome, the whole Vlog is awesome, so beautifully made, how you share the glimpses of family life, how you let us see the magic in it. The scene, where you put your son on the blanket, maybe after a bath? I don`t know why, but it touched me, maybe I saw myself in it seen from a different view. My kids are older now, but these things, so normal, so motherly, shown so artfully, they reach my heart. Thank you.

    Hello 🤗 I'm new to this channel. I joined at your last podcast and since than I'm following your channel. It is soo nice I really enjoy it and your works are breathtaking! I really like this cosy feeling of your videos it is so inspiring. I love to draw and craft (knitting as well but I'm not so good at it) so now as I'm making a drawing for one of my family member I'm watching/listening your videos and they give me so much inspiration.
    To introduce myself: I am a 22 years old girl living in a very old house sorrunded by a beautiful big garden. As this property is in a town I'm so happy that we have garden. I think nature is so important to maintain the balance in our life. I would really live in a forest like you and your family it must be so nice.
    You asked us to tell whether we have little creatures in our project bags. I have a little felted octopus on top of my wardrobe it looks directly to my drawing table. Besides my table is sorrunded by lots of plants they are bringing me joy and cosy feeling when I sit down among them. Furthermore I have three small pet rats one white, one silvery grayish and one planck-white spotted. I brought them home when they were babies from a reptile farm as they were kept for food to the snakes. Since than they make my life so happy and it's always joyful to se them and play with them.
    I hope I didn't write too much. 😅 I'm happy to find your channel I wish you and your family blessed festive season. Keep going with your beautiful channel. 🤗

    • @woolandtheforest
      @woolandtheforest  Před rokem +1

And I completely agree with you that it really is so important to have nature and all things green around you, just like your planned friends that live around your table and bring you Joy. Thank you so much for sharing so openly! Wishing you a blessed festive season and a very Happy New Year 💙💙✨

    • @woolandtheforest
      @woolandtheforest  Před rokem

      Oh how lovely! And yes I definitely enjoy both crochet and knitting as I feel they both have different strengths that can be used to create a different types of fabrics. My little rounds here look a little like crochet coasters before they get seamed up! 😄💙
