    Hi Gina! I'm a believer too and it makes me feel happy and safe. I also find that praying helps me in several ways, but I don't go to Church either - I tend to find peace in my faith at home where I feel the most safe. I received your beautiful minis a few weeks ago and I'm now caking them up for a striped tank top! I love your podcasts and I can't believe I didn't know you were in San Antonio - I live about 30 minutes outside the city and definitely would have "stalked" you - in a good way of course! Just to meet you - the woman who creates the beautiful "specials" and Buddy's mom would have been amazing. Maybe next time! Hugs from Texas! ♥

    There comes a time when we all have to take a look at our life and decide what is best for us as we move forward towards the winter years...some stay stagnant, some in their small world of being right and some of us who want to live in the best possible life possible with the years we have left in an awareness that is right for us...the trick is to do it with respect, kindness and dignity to others who are on a different path moving towards the same goal. I wish you all the best and hope you find what you are looking for as you follow this path of learning and exploring ❣

    Just watched your latest video and was mesmerized listening to your testimony. I was raised in the Christian church but as an adult had struggled with my faith and believing. Don't want to make this super long but after a life changing event 16 years ago, my faith went out the window and I felt abandoned by God if He did exist. Then 4 years ago an event happened that could only have come thru God. Looking back during the 12 years of doubt and struggle, I realized God had been growing me, making me stronger and a better person, enabling me to truly appreciate the BLESSING that was in store for me. I now live in amazement every single day. I love seeing all the yarny things and travel chat, but this episode really struck a cord. Thank you for sharing that journey. ( and sorry, this did end up super long)

    Hey Gina! Nice to see you. I am 54 and grew up an atheist like most Australians. God found me during Covid when I found myself working in a really bad neighborhood in south LA following a very boujee career in finance. It took me a while to get used to my situation but it is undeniable god was with me the whole time and is still with me every day. I’m happy about it. My mum is disgusted- and that’s her problem. They weren’t there, they didn’t see, they didn’t experience what I did, so in my mind they don’t get to judge. I’m happy for you. ❤

    Hi Gina! I knit my socks on dpns. To avoid ladders I occasionally alter the number of stitches on each needle. For simplicity's sake lets say I have 60 stitches divided on my three needles. If I see a ladder forming I will knit the 20 stitches from needle 1 and then keep going and knit 1 or 2 stitches from needle 2 onto needle 1. It changes where the break between needles occurs, and eliminates the ladder. You do have to reorient the stitches to their original position when you come to the heel and toe but for the leg and foot it really helps.

    Gina I met you last October at Cake. We hugged chatted and I sensed a softness in you that did not used to be in your podcasts. You exude peace and joy 53:08 when you used to seem lost and conflicted. Almost angry at life at times. Your new found faith shows. You have direction and answers and hope. Fantastic! Someone might just seek some knowledge for themselves having watched this. I share your faith but also think that differences is what makes the world go round and keeps us from being boring and we can celebrate the uniqueness in all of us including faith. And love our friends as they change and grow as humans. We need to accept each other for who we are and people that can’t accept you as you continue to grow and mature don’t deserve you as their friend. There are enough knitters and yarnies out there if some leave so be it. Keep shining keep smiling keep growing keep maturing keep knitting and most of all keep loving!!! Much love, and complete acceptance, ❤❤❤ marie

I've been reading the past Pulitzer prize for fiction winners among others. Latest books I've loved Small Things Like These by Claire Keegan, Year of Wonders by Geraldine Brooks and Sandwich by Catherine Newman. I'm knitting a Pampas tee and a Peacock tee... and going to get back into Wool sweaters soon... thinking about Tanaka, Norma, and Oak Lane as possibilities for Fall knitting... I'm happy for you that your newfound relationship with Jesus is giving you comfort and peace. I'm a recovering Catholic ;).

    Your journey to faith is really beautiful. I was raised in the Christian church and I had some near death experiences that showed me how present God is in my daily life as my creator, savior, and protector. As an adult, its definitely become more about faith than religion - I always say religion is mostly man made (man’s interpretation of God and specific “worship” practice) but faith is always just about what’s between an individual and God. I hate how Christians, especially in our country, have weaponized the religion. It’s a shame. But for me, knowing where I’m going when I die, and providing me a map (the Bible) in how to live as a moral person, is the best part.

    Enjoyed your podcast so much! I am interested in reading the book Science, Reason, and Faith. Happy for you to find comfort and faith. I love Nantucket, due to go again! I was in my glory when I went with my daughter! Keeping my knitting simple, Cozy Comfort Throw, vanilla socks (dk) and deciding on a scarf, advent type! I lived in Va, northern, and familiar with that Heat!
    Now the NorthEast is going crazy with these temps of 90 and wicked humidity. And I hate the A/C, but have to use it now, for part of the day. I am always chilled ! I like fans!

    Honestly the best knitting podcast I’ve heard. The real story here.. lovely and refreshing . Bishop Barron.. oh he is wonderful. Please as a Catholic, I understand. We have been persecuted for so long. There is “evil” in many churches. I pray you give us, personally, a chance to understand we are not the Evil ones. We have a love for Jesus as His Mother whom He adored. Anyway, loved Virginia on our trip to see our daughter and then down to the OTX and over to Ocracoke! Loved loved the trip. Back home in Texas now. Be well, be blessed! I love Thistle and light Seafoam right now.

    Gina, first of all thank you for sharing your spiritual journey in a raw and uncut way. It’s not the same for everyone, but there certainly are others that can relate. The feeling you had when you knew He is real is something I have felt myself and wouldn’t be able to explain as you have. Secondly, I live in Minneapolis and my husband is also a DJ in the house/techno/disco sound so I am very curious to hear about your trip to Minneapolis if you make it here and also to hope you’ll share more about Dave’s daughter as I would love to hear more!!

We dont go to church but I was told about this Church from a coworker we are about 4 hours away from it but he has sunday live on youtube but you can watch him at anytime. Just incase you would like a church. Old Paths Baptist Church Pastor Bob. He read from the King James Bible and he doesnt sugar coat anything about the Bible.

    I think it's chiaogoo that has shortie needles and cord sets. The set comes with shorter and longer needle tips. I find a short one on my left side, and a longer one on the right lets you grab with your right hand to avoid cramping. I find 10" circulars are too large for socks. But the 9 " are perfect with one needle tip a little longer.

    Thank you for sharing your journey to Jesus!! I was saved at 45 years old after being raised in an atheist home. Praise the Lord that our hearts softened and eventually found Him. My husband and I also struggle to find a church to go to. We do watch some online services as we live in a remote area, but its not the same as worshipping with other believers. I am spending the summer basically knitting socks, yes I have to use size 0's as I am a loose knitter! I do have a few cardigans on the needles but its too hot to pick those projects up. Looking forward to your next podcast! Hugs! ~ Kay

    Ae usual, Gina, your videos are always thought-provoking and SO interesting! ❣️ I am going to find that book by the priest and see if it resonates with me. Honestly, I have WANTED to believe and have been ENVIOUS of people who believe for a long time, and, at nearly 71, I know that faith would definitely make my remaining time on this earth, whatever it may be (and hopefully it will be at least twenty more years LOL), much less frightening. Thanks, as usual, for sharing so generously with your audience. ⚘️ But, I have to add, you don't need to be Christian to treat others well and with love. ❣️ It's what we should all be doing already, no matter what our faith/non-faith. 😜 Hope that doesn't come off wrong. I mean it as a statement of fact, rather than in a preachy way. ⚘️. LOVE your scarves and hope there are a few left when I see this!! No travel plans as I am old and chicken and still haven't had COVID and am afraid of getting it since I am a widow and live alone. 😥
