I came upon your video’s yesterday, Sunday, and can’t stop watching you! I am retired, have been knitting for over 50 years. I am from the middle of the USA, Nebraska. I hope to travel east someday. I wold love to walk into your shop! ❤. I am working on a cowl called Sallah. I was close to finished, when it was obvious I did not have enough yarn to finish. So I started over, using the open end of the skein, but cast on a little over half the stitches required. Now I will have enough to knit the entire cowl and then knit the I-cord required. I am also knitting a double sided stocking cap, toe up, 2@atime socks, magic loop and the Navelli sweater. I am always knitting dishcloths, hot pan holders and scrubbies for gifts.
I have trouble with wooden needles, because I press too hard while I knit, especially the smaller size needles. I break one of the needles almost every time. I use stainless steel needles most of the time. Chiagoo is my favorite. ❤. Do you use/sell FLEXI-FLIPS? I like to have them on hand, but they do come in handy when you need a double point needle. They come in a nice plastic storage tube. I store all my DPN’s in their own toothbrush traveling holder. It works great!
The biggest project I have ever made was a Queen/King size afghan for my grandson and his new wife for their wedding, called Tree of Life.
Socks are probably my favorite project to knit. I have several socks I need to mend. They may be several years old, but I can’t throw them. 😢
What is your opinion on cotton knit sweaters? I am leery to knit a cotton sweater, cuz I read comments that cotton stretches. I have one pair of cotton socks, and do not care for the texture which bothers the bottom of my feet.
Currently working on a large afghan for family member relocating away from home - so sending the him off with a hug from me. Yarn is a cotton with a bit of acrylic - wanted it it have "weight" and easy care. These day I am almost exclusively using interchangeable circulars. Have about every size (except for the smallest that many circulars did not come in when I added to my collection) and multiple cables of assorted lengths. Started my knitting life on metal 14" straights! Now circulars for flat, in the round or magic loop serve all my needs. I have them mostly in wood but a few metal or acrylic mixed in. Afghan is an old Lion brand pattern for a simple diagonal baby afghan. Originally done as a square, but I adapted for rectangle and make it to fit a twin/full size bed!
I’m from Chelan Washington and have been knitting for 70 years. Knitting Ranunculus for first time. The pressure got to me. I think I’m the only one who hasn’t knitted this project. I love your podcast Nancy with your beautiful yarns and tips. Nice to see you without your sling.
I'm Cheryl from San Antonio, Texas. I am making a wool blanket from one of Stephen West's patterns, Painting Bricks. It's getting very heavy. What's funny is that no one thinks a woolen blanket makes sense where I live but I appreciated all of my woolen items when we had a freak snowfall in 2021 and the power went out for days.
I crocheted for years but a year ago fell in love with knitting in western North carolina
I am in Western North Carolina. I started knitting in 2021 and am presently learning sock knitting through a Woolly Thistle video tutorial. Thank you for all the variety of information that you provide.
Hi Nancy and Team! I am from Baltimore Maryland. I just finished the Sorbet tee from Vogue Knitted S/S 2023. Now I am working on the Alpine Bloom.
I’m knitting the Gia Chemo hat for a family member, knitting the Sceles top, crocheting a Wallflowers afghan, crocheting amiguris and spinning some Merino fiber.
I’m in Raleigh, NC
I’m in Manhattan, Kansas. Just finished a swester - Purl Code by Isabel Kraemer . Also have a Sophie Scarf, Sophie Shawl, Burra Cowl, Boneyard Shawl and vanilla socks on my needles!
I, too, go back and forth with English and continental for garter stitch, but my tension in continental is inconsistent.
I’m a mixed crafter (knitter, spinner, crocheter) from the suburbs of Chicago. Still haven’t founded a local tribe, but really appreciate the online community. Keeps me motivated. Your channel is really great. Wish I could take some classes and craft in person at your shop. Sounds delightful!
I live near Branson Mo. I knit socks and lots of small accessories for gifts and myself. Would like to do sweaters we have no local yarn shop within an hour or more
Hi! I live in the southwest suburbs. I am a lone knitter as well. I recently learned of a couple of knitting groups meeting in local libraries although I haven’t attended yet.

Hello!
My name is Ulrika and I'm sitting very comfortably knitting and watching you from the west coast of Sweden. I wish I could visit you and your lovely store and sit and knit and chat for a while! After having completed the Seascape wrap, knit in Drops Fabel and I also held it with Drops Kid Silk, I've now begun with at blanket using yarn from my stash. Had to frog a project I started because I wasn't happy with the colour combination (the second Seascape wrap I had just started). So, now it's a blanket and I'll design it as I go. It'll be a project that I'll knit over a longer period of time so in between I'll finish my Filcolana Saint Malo, I've the sleeves left and it'll be a lovely jumper to wear. It's the first time I knit in that yarn (Merci) but not the last. After that I have a few jumpers to knit and mainly from Sandnes. I learned to knit at a young age and it was my mother who taught me. We also learned to knit in school and I rememeber I was very proud having completed my first jumper and in three colours at the age of 13. Didn't knit for many, many years but now I must knit every day. Also love watching different podcasts while knitting and this spring I found yours. Looking forward to your next podcast! 🌞🌞🧶🧶🧶
All the best
Ulrika
Nashville continental knitter here …
current project is Dumpling Bag by Purl Soho - it’s quick, easy and really popular.
Hi Nancy, BSK is my local yarn shop and I'm in the Monday evening class. I live in Roslindale and am currently working on a DreaRenee Knits Find Your Fade shawl and a Quince & Co. Fountaingrove sleeveless top. Couldn't do it without Deanna! I love your podcast and all the enthusiam you have for knitting project ideas and colors and for what's going on in the shop. Cheers!
Hi Nancy, I'm from Sweden and currently knitting the Peacock shirt by le Knit, Lene Holme Samsöe. I was on a package walk and wool trip on Shetland in July and was so inspired by knit designer Linda Shearer showing us Auld and new shell peerie lace pattern. So the Peacock shirt is much fun to knit.
NYC knitter! On the needles - Slipstravaganza by Stephen West, Ranunculus #2 in a DK Juniper Moon Farm yarn in a lovely lavender shade, Mynstur colorwork cowl (gift) in La Bien Aimee fingering weight yarn (oh boy-such a pleasure!) and a "log cabin" blanket by Stephen West called Parallelolamb (modular knitting- use all your leftover skeins...literally anything and everything) for my child who will graduate from high school next Spring and leave the nest. I love Stephen's designs. I can't wait for his MKAL in the Fall. **Someone mentioned pockets for a tutorial. I would love to learn more about that - especially an 'afterthought' pocket. Who doesn't love a pocket! Love your podcasts and your expertise. You encourage me to try new things, and rip out things that are not going right and try again. Thank you!
I live in Oneida, NY and I’m presently knitting a Dustland sweater by Stephen West and I always have a pair of socks on my needles too.
I live in Somerset in the
UK.
I am knitting teenage size blankets for the Linus Project, they have to be in acrylic yarn for easy washing.
I knit with long knitting needles English style, the right needle tucked under my arm. I struggle with tension if I use circular needles.

Hi there! I'm in Reston, VA outside of Washington DC. I enjoy your podcast and learning more about yarns and ravelry. I've been knitting since I was a kid, but in the last 3 years it's become a passion. I just finished a test knit (shh! it's a secret) and am working on a shawl. After that I'm making a sweater for my SIL. I love summer sweaters since they go so fast! I'm also planning for opening a yarn store in my area next year, so I'm learning a lot from you.
Hi Nancy, I enjoy your episodes, you are an amazing encouragement to improving my knitting! I'm from the Northern San Francisco Bay Area, I am knitting socks. Just learned to knit them in early 2023. Love them, will always have socks on the needle now. Just finished my 3rd pair and gifted them to a sick friend. She loved them. I find with every pair I improve. Started with magic loop method and now using 9" circular method which I like very much. I'm also knitting a sweater for my daughter in law. It is a sweater called Vanessa V-neck by Michele Rose Orne, Using the very lusious Juniper Moon Farms Moonshine in Colorway 09 called lagoon, an electric teal color. So Soft!!!!! Alpaca, Wool, Silk content. The question I have for you is I want to see your technique for lace lifeline. My next sweater is Zweig, with main color in medium gray wool and yoke in pink lace gradient. The yoke has lace detail I have never done before. I heard of adding a lifelinbe in case I make a mistake and need to rip back so need to find out best way before I start this project. Thanks for your continued knitting support! Carrie

Hi all, I’m knitting baby booties, a new design, and a Love Note, and have a few hibernating WIPs. As for other podcast ideas for topics, I’d love to see one about Nancy’s yarn dying. I also have enjoyed ones that are conversations with other staff or people in the fiber industry. Maybe it would be fun to do a few “meet the customers” where you have people on to talk about a WIP or favorite project and interview/converse? (Erika in Wellesley)
Thanks for the suggestion Erika!
Thanks, as usual for your knitting tips! I am Canadian living in the Niagara area of SW Ontario.

Noticed right away that you didn’t have your arm sling on …. so glad you are recovering from your surgery, Nancy and continuing to knit!

Thanks for your knitting suggestions and tips!
Hi Nancy. I’m watching from County Wexford, in the south east corner of Ireland. Working on the Andrea Mowry Weekender sweater. Love your podcast. 👏
Nancy, you sweater is beautiful!
Hi Nancy,
I’m from Michigan and visit your shop once in awhile when I am in Boston. A few weeks ago when I was struggling with a sweater for my husband, you were talking about having an easier knit around, so as not to get frustrated. At the same time a type of yarn came across my radar. It is assigned pooling. I used one skein of Dream in Color…there is more out there I’m sure, and knit “Field of violets” scarf. It is totally garter, except when you get to “the color” and it was just the break I needed. I try to pick patterns that I can learn a new skill as well. Love all your tips and advice…wish I could knit faster…won’t be in town for your class.
Hi I'm from South West Scotland and am knitting a cardigan for my granddaughter
Watching from New Jersey, knitting basic summer tee.
Hi Nancy, I'm from the New Orleans area and am currently working on Samantha Guerin's Pine Creek top. I will admit that 'summer' sweaters for others are often appropriate as fall/winter sweaters here! Enjoy your podcast, especially your tips and tricks.
I'm Diane from Richmond, VA and currently test knitting Bentley for Kay Hopkins aka Knit For The Soul. Great podcast! On hold during the test knit is Joji Locatelli's new sweater pattern Solare that I'll be happy to get back to knitting but no deadline for that one.

I live in Virginia Beach, Va. I am knitting a summer short sleeve tee from cotton/linen blend.

If I ever make it the Boston area, I will make an effort to visit your shop!
Hi Nancy, watching you from Richmond, VA. Currently knitting two projects from Stolen Stitches, Carol Feller's yarn/pattern store. One is the Galway Blanket, the other is her Trellis Top in Nua sport yarn. Hope your shoulder continues to improve.

Hi Nancy! I am your regular viewer from Finland, and I really enjoy your vlog. Currently I am knitting my first ever summer tee.

I'm in Woburn MA... just a little north of you. I've been in the shop a few times and had bought one of the sweater kits on my last trip there. I decided to knit a vest first (DIGE from UandIknits on Ravelry) first, and your tutorial on German short rows saved me a great deal of frustration!
I hope to start the kit in the fall. It has colorwork, which I haven't done before. The kit is for the alpenglow sweater. I'm trying to knit down my stash a bit as well.
Hi, I'm from South Australia and just getting back into knitting after not knitting for years. It has been an interesting journey learning completely new ways to knit.
I love your show because I can see new patterns and see what looks on a "normal person" instead of on a young trim taught and tall body. So thank you.
Hi Meredith, where in SA are you?
Hi Nancy, I’m from Fort Langley British Columbia in Canada. Not too far from Vancouver. I have several projects going as I like alternating. At this moment I’m working on making a rhinoceros by a pattern by Louise Crowther. I’ve made several of her animals. Yesterday I ordered the yarn for Andrea Mowry’s new pullover. I’m working on a ranunculus too. I have about eight projects on needles! Knitting is my passion and I have the joy of being able to knit everyday! I bring it everywhere with me.
Hi Nadine, Nancy here. I'm on my way on Saturday to Vancouver. Can you recommend a yarn shop there?
Hi Nancy, I'm in Somerset, KY and just finished the Knitting Badge Neckerchief in cotton and linen from Juniper Moon Farm. Currently I have a bralette on the needles in Fixation. When I was 15 and my sister 10, my mother didn't want us idle over summer while she was at work and signed us up for knitting lessons. 60+ years and we're still knitting. Love your podcast.
I’m in Sharon, MA, working on Oasis, by Yumiko Alexander, and just finished Big Sister by Hinterm Stein. I’m trying to work down stash. And I’m enjoying your podcasts. Thank you!
southern MN. Just a hat on my KB round loom. I will be getting the rotating double round loom. Ordered. My problem is finding interesting quality yarn. Really a good yarn store. They keep closing. Sad. Not much in variety of stitches, because I really like to use multiple colors in 100% wool and then felting. And then embellishing with beads buttons etc. And now that I have been youtube ing. Mainly self taught. I have never been able to use needles. I have used a lot of brown sheep yarn which I had available. Moved, so that is gone. When I order online I have greater restraint. Also do a lot of quilting and others stuff. Yup too many options.
Oh, about 50 years ago I made my own double sided loom with nails to make my mom a scarf in blue angora yarn. Imagine when KB came out with their long double loom. Wow!
I’m a knitter from WA state. On a previous episode you mentioned a pattern named Summer Tee…a striped sweater, short sleeves…I cannot find it and not for a lack of looking! I can’t even find the episode you showed it on.
Hi! This is a little late but I am on Long Island. Right now knitting the long, lacy cardigan an old pattern from 2021. BUT-it has charts for sleeves and I HATE charts!!! Going to try to write out the chart on Index cards-In the past I have skipped over patterns that I like because of charts!! Color knitting is something I would like to become more proficient at. Thanks!!
Hi Nancy, I am from North Carolina and have been knitting for 17 years. I currently am finishing the Autumn Square Sweater by Hinterm Stein, which you featured on your post cast back in the winter.

I look forward to your podcast every week and always learn something or am inspired by your beautiful yarns and projects.
Thanks for your informative podcasts! I’m from New Hampshire, so am hopeful to get to your shop one of these days. Currently I’m knitting the Kokkaloorie pullover byMary Jane Mucklestone. It’s a fair isle sweater that I’m planning to wear this September in Shetland while attending Shetland Wool Week. 😅
I am from France and Belgium (time shared between both) I enjoy your videos I knit from 70 years and I still learn news tricks from you …
I live in Wolfeboro, NH, but used to shop in your store when I lived in Massachusetts. I'm currently knitting two fairisle christmas stocking kits by Annie's Woolens as well as Baby Squares Afghan by Joanne Turcotte in Sirdar Snuggly Spots yarn.
