The Cornish Knitter - Episode 1 - My personal knitting life
Vložit
- čas přidán 12. 08. 2024
- Hello, I am Jane from Falmouth in Cornwall, UK.
This is my first ever knitting vlog episode. I have wanted to create a knitting vlog for a long time but was intimidated by the prospect of putting myself out there! Well here goes…….
Some of you may recognise me as 1 half of the Stitches and Cream www.stitchesandcream.co.uk/ duo who sometimes pop up on our IG post videos.
Full disclosure: I am lucky enough to be a yarn and knitting shop owner along with my sister Sandra. But this vlog is really about my own personal knitting life, although some of the yarns do come from the shop as we buy in what we love to work with, but some of them come from other suppliers and I love them too. We just don’t have the space for them all!
In my vlogs I want to chat about my knitting projects and plans, some lessons learned along the way, share some of my favourite knitting tools, and the knitting tips and tricks that I use and customers ask me about.
I may occasionally share some behind the scenes and insights about being a shop owner if people are interested in that just let me know.
Thank you for watching and please like, subscribe, and comment

Lovely to see your podcast- as a middle aged plus person who loves to knit I have to say I relate more to podcasts from people who aren’t 20’s aged! 😊 I tend to relate more to items created by those who are middle aged.
Thank you. We need to form our own tribe 😉
Hear, hear!
I completely agree!
@@jenm4721 thank you 😊
Tired of seeing all the little cropped sweaters
So nice to watch an experienced knitter who is nearer my own age. As a retiree who loves to knit and garden, I look forward to seeing all you have to share with us!
Thank you 😊
I so agree. I watch a wide variety of bloggers and it is so cool to watch those nearer my age and life experience.
@@donnajohnson9834 thank you 😊
Hi Jane, congratulations on taking the plunge into podcasting. I spent so many holidays in St Mawes, across the water from Falmouth, so was instantly drawn to your channel. I’d love to see video footage of the area too!
@@sarahjanewheatley5472 thank you. St Mawes and Falmouth will definitely feature in my videos 😊
So happy you popped up on my home page! Also in the middle at 62😂. I hope you continue. You’re a natural. My favorite podcaster’s. Are those that speak to us. As if we are all sitting at the table together. You did just that❤️
Thank you for your lovely comments. 😊
😀💕xx me too Teresa!
Jane, Jane, this is your 1st podcast I couldn’t believe well done you do absolutely brilliant,you look very confidence and natural 🎉 never too late to start something new please do not think who look after old ladies podcast your have very good karisma Well done 👏 looking forward for the next one.
Thank you so much 😊
Hi Jane! I’m Bobbi of Knitters Kniche Podcast. I am so happy to see another CZcams podcaster my age! I too was concerned about being in my 60’s and who would want to watch my podcast. I totally understand where you’re coming from. You have a lovely podcast. I subscribed and I’m looking forward to your upcoming episodes! ❤😊
Will go in and subscribe to yours now. Thank you 😊
Welcome, Jane, and all the best to you. Yes, please do share "behind the scenes" things with us.Good luck with this venture!
Thank you 😊
Wonderful podcast. So glad to have found you. I guess I'd be classed as an older knitter (75 yrs young) and knit pretty much every day. 🙂
Thank you. Knitting is for everyone and I hope I am knitting well into my 70’s and 80’s. My mum still knits beautifully and she is 90 this year 😊
Greetings from Minnesota. I’m glad I stumbled across your video as it is nice to connect with someone closer to my own age. Looking forward to your next podcast.
Thank you 😊
Yea!!!!!! I'm 62 years and while I enjoy all the young ladies in knitting You Tube-land, I related to everything you talked about! Thank you for representing us "older" ladies so genuinely and beautifully! Maybe you will start a trend on You Tube, I can only hope and pray!! P.S. my mom is 85 years and knits on straight needles only, and creates such lovely pieces!
Thank you. Once a knitter always a knitter 😉😊
I'm joining the chorus of middle-aged knitters who welcome a contemporary voice! Isabel Kraemer's Mariechen cardigan is on my tbk list.
Thank you 😊
I’m so happy to find a podcaster closer to my age. ❤
Thank you 😊
I love how you knit by combining yarns. Lovely! Yours in Gratitude
Thank you 😊
I look for knitters who are closer to my age to watch! I, of course, watch some lovely younger knitting all the cute things, but I prefer classic clothes that last forever. I’ve got my eye on the Mariechen cardigan and have made a winterfell cardigan which I also love! I’ll look forward to seeing the next podcast as I watch and knit while I’m at lunch. 🤗🧶🤗
Thank you and my cardi list is growing by the hour 😂😊
Hello from Houston, Texas! I really enjoyed your podcast. I would love to see your yarn shop! I like to see yarn shops in other countries to see how they compare to ours here in Texas and to see what everyone out there is knitting! XXOO
Thank you. I am sure the inside of the shop will come up at some time if you would like to see it 😊
Loved your podcast Jane. I’m even older than you are (74 years young) : I try to knit each day
It was great to see your wips and finished objects . Please do another next month ❤
Thank you 😊
Loved your podcast, I just turned 69 yrs…I too agree so many young podcasts although it is wonderful to see the comeback of knitting in young people.Have taught both my granddaughter and grandson how to knit!!
Thank you. I haven’t been able to get either of my two children to take it up but maybe in the future 🤔
What a lovely video. I enjoyed how you share from an older female perspective. The yarns that were shown are lovely.
Thank you 😊
Greetings from the State of Wyoming in the U.S. I enjoyed your vlog so much and you did a great job. I look forward to watching many more. I have always wanted to visit Cornwall and will do so eventually. I've watched many tv shows that were filmed there and I fell in love.
Thank you. Doc Martin and Poldark have been great for tourism and promoting Cornwall 😊
I subscribed after 2 minutes. Love your style and as a middle aged woman it’s refreshing !
Aw thank you 😊
So happy to have been recommended your podcast. I truly enjoyed this episode!! It's so nice to meet you Jane!
You too!! Thank you 😊
What a lovely podcast! So glad to have found you. I too tend to seek out podcasts done by knitters closer to my age as I find them so much more relatable....So please toss your doubts out the window about who would want to watch a podcast by a knitter of a certain age. There are so many of us here!! Looking forward to the next episode.
Thank you 😊
Hi Jane. You just showed up on my feed and I am glad you did. I really enjoyed seeing your projects and your yarn choices. I have been knitting on and off for over 30 years and there are so many more lovely designs out now and the yarn choices are endless. Most of all I love watching podcasts from all over the world. It amazes me how we all have so much in common. I live in Nova Scotia, Canada and hope you continue showing us you love of knitting.
Thank you from Cornwall 😊
Congratulations on your first podcast. I enjoyed listening to you talk about your knitting projects and plans. I'm a mature knitter as well.
Thank you 😊
Hi 👋. Really enjoyed your podcast. I too am middle aged plus a few 🤣. I don’t get the Sophie hype but as I’ve not knit it, guess I can’t judge. I do like the purple colour on you. I’ve only knit one sock, recently, and haven’t caught that bug either 🤪. I am thinking of knitting the Whitmoor cardigan - I love lace work and that seems a good mix of challenging plus tv knitting. Looking forward to your next video - I’m sure you were nervous doing this one. You did very well 👍. Also appreciated the snippets of scenery. I’m a Scot, expat, living in 🇨🇦 for most of my adult life.
Thank you. I didn’t get the Sophie thing either until I knitted it as a sample for the shop. Ooh lace and tv knitting. I always get lost in yo land so pick my lace projects carefully 😜
Hi absolutely loved your vlog
Please carry on
I’ve been knitting since I was 7 now a very young 70
Look forward to seeing you soon xx❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you. I think I was a similar age when I started. 😊
I just discovered your channel this morning. As a person in the 4 th quarter of my life, I appreciate your content.
Your face lit up when you held the blue kerchief scarf close to your face. As we age we know which colors make us feel good and look good on us. We don’t have to go with all the trendy colors. As you said with the colors you are thinking for your cardigan, it will be a neutral and you can wear the colors that are good around your face. Win, win.
I’m interested in knitting a cardigan as well. You’ve sparked my interest. Now I am in my 70’s , short and round, so a pattern for my body shape will be a challenge.
Love your content and demeanor! ❤
Thank you for such lovely comments and I still haven’t made a decision on my cardi pattern 😳 one good thing about getting older is we learn what suits us don’t we 😊
@@stitchesandcreamfalmouth9563 yes we do!
Loved meeting you. I've spent time in Falmouth and am sorry I didn't discover your shop at the time but have fond memories. Go we "more senior" girls. Youth and glamour don't necessarily make a great warm personality. Judy (79 yo), Nelson Bay, East Coast Australia
Thank you for such lovely feedback and sorry you didn’t find us when you visited. I have never been to Australia but plan to go one day 😊
Hello from Canada 🇨🇦. I am a knitter who enjoys watching other ideas from crafty people. Young and older. Good luck with your podcast. I will be watching.
I really enjoyed your podcast Jane, i am a very young at heart older lady. I have been knitting for 50 years and started as a very little girl. Knitting is my passion and i love to knit from the plain classic designs through to my favourite designer Marie Wallin's intricate colourwork designs. Look forward to seeing you again soon and thank you for taking the time to record for us x
Thank you for such lovely feedback and sharing your knitting story 😊
@@stitchesandcreamfalmouth9563 thank you for a very interesting podcast. I also like to keep my hands busy with either knitting or crochet as otherwise the time seems to be wasted. Looking forward to the next episode.
@@salliebradshaw7436 thank you 😊
Hi! I just discovered your podcast! Really enjoying it! I'm in the upper middle age group too. I have 5 granddaughters that I knit blankets and garments for and crochet amigurumi toys for. And that's all on top of what I make for my hubby and myself. I love the pullovers you are knitting! Have you tried the Shadow Wrap heel? No gaps like in the German short row heel. I also add 4 extra stitches on the 1st heel row to make it more roomy for the instep. I can't wear pullovers because I get over heated, so I knit cardigans. I liked knitting Blossom and want to knit the Whitmoor cardigan soon. I have a corner up blanket crocheted in Moss stitch (also known as linen stitch I believe) that I use my scraps for. I want to do the crocheted granny ripple stitch blanket next. Looking forward to your next podcast! Take care!
Thank you and wow some great tips and projects 😊
A really lovely and interesting podcast....thank you. I look forward to your next one. x
Thank you 😊
Love your podcast and patterns choices. ( I have the same hide and hammer bag- look forward to your favourite things segment too!)I look forward to the next one and yes please continue! Hello from Canada! 😊
I am now watching your old episodes. So glad I found you. Me too always been a monogamous knitter. Now have a few things on the go especially socks.
Thank you Linda. It was a hard switch for me to go from completed finisher mode to multiple projects but there is no going back now!
I too am an older knitter. Knitting since I was about 7 but I'm still learning new techniques from CZcams. Also can't be doing with these cropped garments! A blanket I've knit which is great for using small amounts of yarn is the Log Cabin blanket by Very Pink Knits - it's something you can just pick up and knit one colour and put down again - do check it out.
Just enjoying watching Cornwall on the Rick Stein programme, and then you popped up on the youtube home page. Really enjoyed your chat and seeing all your knitting, and the snippets of Falmouth! For the blanket I suggest Bits and Bobs, which I am currently knitting, holding two fingering weight yarns together, like you one plain colour and then 24 minis from a yarn advent. Hope to see you again soon!
Thank you. I haven’t started the blanket yet so will take look 😊
I visited your lovely yarn shop a few weeks ago whilst on a short visit to Falmouth. I was so glad I did as you have a wonderful choice of beautiful yarns I came away with some gorgeous yarns and notions.. Really enjoyed your first podcast very much looking forward to the next one.
Thank you. So glad you snaffled some yarn too 😊
It's so great to find a bricks and mortar shop stocking natural yarns. Here on the border of Northamptonshire, leicestershire and Warwickshire, we don't have any at all. I'm loving your blogs too. I must give knitting a sweater a go. ❤
Please do have a go. Pick a simple one and you will be fine. Thank you for the lovely comments too 😊
Hi Jane! Kudos to you for taking the plunge and getting out of your comfort zone. Thank you so much because it is inspirational for me and I’m sure to many others who are viewing your podcast. I learned to knit when my daughter was born, took al long break from it and now that I’m retired I have returned to it. Enjoying it immensely. Looking forward to your next one! 35:52
Thank you. Coming soon 😊
So delighted to discover a mature podcaster. Keep it up, your a natural.
I'm only halfway through your podcast but I had to stop to tell you how enjoyable it is to find a knitter representing my generation so beautifully. I love watching the young knitters too, incredibly accomplished in so little time in some cases, but I'm finding your content to be much more relatable to where I'm at in my life and knitting journey. Thanks for jumping in!
Thank you so much. They amaze me too but I am glad there are so many like me who want to chat about how we need to maybe adapt the things we knit to suit us 😊
Great first podcast. As another not young person it’s nice to see another woman not afraid to knit and wear modern styles. 🎉🎉😊
Thank you 😊 I just knit what I like and know what doesn’t suit me 🥰 getting older has its advantages 😂
I learned how to knit when I was very young, hated it because of the the straight needles, I was always dropping stitches. Fast forward to my adult life, I went into a knitting shop and saw some round needles and bought them. Loved knitting after that.
I was so excited to watch your video. As a young 58 year old just getting into knitting it was quite lovely. So, thank you and I look forward to the next one.
For a first video you seemed really relaxed and confident Jane. I was so distracted by your Ranunculus - it looks exactly like mine, even though I used completely different yarns and colours! It took me ages to find a cardigan pattern I liked. In the end I'm doing the Great Love by Ankestrick. I'll look forward to seeing more of your videos! 🤗
Thank you. I may look that cardi pattern up! I have to say I love a ranunculus 😊
Great to find you Jane. Will check out the shop too!
Thank you. I follow you too! 😊
Thank you for your lovely podcast,I too am in years! an older lady but I still love fashion, sometimes I think I don’t fit in the age and shape of the designs I love so watching you this morning has shown me I’m not the only one who’s feeling this way thank you . Looking forward to your next pod cast .😘
Thank you. It appears that there are many of us who feel this way. We have a new ‘tribe’ as I love some of the new designers but need to think about how they will fit a post menopausal body 😜
Lovely to meet you! I thoroughly enjoyed your podcast, and hope that you will do more of them! I am from Ottawa, Canada, but my husband and I lived in Cornwall (near Saltash) for 18 months in 1981-82. My parents were from Sussex and England has always been close to my heart. We traveled back nearly every year to visit family until the pandemic. I’m looking forward to returning again soon! Thank you again for making your video!
Thank you. 😊 if you do come over you must come back to Cornwall for a visit 😊
Well this is quite lovely! Hello from another middle aged avid knitter and watcher of knitting youtubers. I will be watching this too! Hi from NYC
Thank you 😊
Hello from Redwood City CA USA, thanks for your new podcast, as I am 81 & enjoy watching & hearing all you do. I visited your area many years ago & have great memories. Keep up the good work!
How delightful this was, thank you for sharing your knitting with us Jane.
Thank you 😊
Fabulous podcast. Keep going. Yarn we can access in UK. I am a huge Hide & Hammer fan too, great to take to pub for knit night.
Thank you. Mine goes to the pub too (occasionally 😜)
I’m older and enjoy watching knitters. I’m so glad to see someone who is more experienced with life. I’m slightly surprised by the number of extremely young women knitters.
Thank you 😊
Hello from Australia! I really enjoyed your first video! Like many have already commented it is so nice to have someone more my own age sharing their knitting and pattern choices…. I often don’t watch a podcast if it made by a young person. Keep the videos coming 😊
Thank you. It’s lovely that there are so many knitters out there of all ages who want to share their knitting life. I was nervous about doing it but in the end thought ‘so what’ if no one else wants to listen to my ramblings I am old enough not to care 😂 but it seems there are lots of us who are a similar age who do want to chat with each other and that makes me happy 😃
So happy to see a grown up talking about our favorite things...you are teriffic....best from Rhode island USA
Thank you 😊
I really enjoyed this podcast. I thought your plan of once a month was a really good idea. I see people get burned out and stop youtube. I'd rather see people take it at a comfortable, sustainable pace. I got some new pattern favorites and learned of new yarns. Thank you for the knitting chat!
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
as a 50+ age knitter, i really enjoyed listening to you, and you knit a lot of the patterns i enjoy. felt like i was having a chat with a friend
Thank you. That's exactly how I wanted it to feel
Hello Jane 🙋🏼What a lovely first podcast, lovely to listen to this morning, and super special for me to see some sea shots as I grew up down there and know Falmouth well 😊 It's been a pleasure to spend time in your company while I've been sat here knitting this morning, and I look forward to watching your next podcast 😊
Thank you for such lovely feedback 😊
Well done 👏 it was a great start.
Thank you 😊
So glad you took the leap...I am mostly a knitter who occasionally crochets for exactly the reason you do. I did a corner to corner crochet blanket for one of my children with fingering held double---and thoroughly enjoyed...
Thank you. Toying with crochet instead of a knit at the moment 😊
Hello Jane, it’s always exciting to see a new podcast pop up on my feed and yours was lovely. Cornwall and knitting… what could be better! Thanks for taking the time to share. 💕💕
Thank you. Yes to me Cornwall and knitting are the perfect combo really 😊
So happy your video popped up in my algorithm. Add me to your fan club of women with well-earned laugh lines. You've got a fantastic way of speaking to us, can't wait to see what else you get up to on the needles.
Thank you 😊
Good morning from Chicago! It is so nice to see mature knitters on CZcams. I have subscribed and looking forward to more podcasts.
Thank you 😊
Hello Jane...I just came across your podcast and just wanted to say you are a natural at podcasting. I really enjoyed seeing your knits and hearing about all you have in mind to knit in the weeks to come. I was also very interested to hear you have a yarn shop and although I live in Scotland holidays for me usually include looking for yarn shops wherever we are. Thankfully I have a lovely patient husband 😅....so one of these days I hope I can manage to visit your shop. Looking forward to your next podcast .....best wishes from Scotland...Nessa x
Thank you and hopefully see you at some time IRL. My daughter is I. Edinburgh so I always hunt out the yarn shops when I visit. Leave hubby in a bar 😜
I really enjoyed your podcast! At 74 knitting keeps my hands “young”! Looking forward to seeing your next podcast.
Thank you 😊
It's lovely to be able to watch someone about my age, who isn't afraid to knit with more colours than just beige and brown. I love beige and brown, but there are so many other lovely colours out there to use too. I particularly love the colour of your Ranunculous. I enjoy watching the younger knitters podcasts too and watch quite a few of them, but its really nice to watch more mature knitters too. And like you said, there aren't very many of them out there.
Thank you 😊
Fabulous podcast. Thank you. I’m also older (63) love craft and knitting. Originally from UK but I live in Melbourne.
Thank you. I have never made it to Australia but my daughter did some travelling there and loved it 😊
Nice to see you. I am from Maritime Canada. I am 63 and have been knitting since I was a child. Looking forward to getting to know you.
Thank you 😊
Lovely to find your channel and really enjoyed watching you 💚
Helen Stewart - Curious Handmade has some beautiful blankets that are perfect for scrappy projects - I’ve made her Habitation throw several times and you could make it in whatever weight yarn you like and keep going for whatever size you need.
Enjoy your knitting and look forward to seeing you again 💚
Thank you Melita 😊 I like her patterns too
Very enjoyable podcast. I loved doing the pinwheel scrap blanket by the knitting expat.
Thank you so much! 😊
Jane, loved your first episode! You’re a natural. Keep sharing ❤ on cardigans, take a look at Water Lilies Cardigan, Laine Issue 12. It was a joy to knit and now to wear
Thank you. Funny that is on my list 😂 I have been helping one of our customers with the pattern so once she has finished I think I may have to cast one on 😉
Like other comments its good to identify with presenters . Variety is king and loved your selections plus a UK based options when it comes to yarns . The world has become a smaller place and whist it is good to see what is available elsewhere I much prefer to keep the "miles " for my parcels and purchases down where possible . Kerrie
Thank you Kerrie 😊
Hi Jane, that was a lovely podcast, I subscribed 😀, love your natural style. I too am middle-aged (plus a little bit) and really appreciate seeing my age group so well represented, fashionable without being frumpy. I love all the podcasts, young and old and learn so much from them, they are all such good company whilst I knit and crochet. My absolute favourite is Ruth Loves To Knit, closely followed by Kevin & Ray of Needles at the Ready.
Your skill of knitting and walking at the same time is amazing- I can't even text while walking! Looking forward to your next podcast and to seeing more of your knits. Love your blanket plans of holding a grey alongside the sets of minis, that's a plan in my knitting wishlist.
Thank you. Knitting and walking is fine but texting …… 🤦♀️😂
Loved your podcast. I’m looking forward to seeing more. Subscribed and liked. 😊
Thank you 😊
Thank you Jane, I also love seeing someone in the same age group. Look forward to your next episode.
Thank you 😊
Hello, Jane -- I'm another older knitter, and I love podcasts from all ages! Like you, I don't need a cropped sweater. My most worn cardigan is Kate Davies Evendoon. It's a generous fit without swamping me, looks tidy when buttoned, very flattering. I've knit one for me and one for a friend and will be casting on another one soon. Looking forward to your next podcast.
Thank you. I have looked at that one too so your feedback on it is great 😊
Thank you for your first episode! I really enjoyed it for two reasons: 1) I love Cornwall and everything Cornish. 2) I like watching someone who obviously is an experienced knitter. Lots of love from a middle-aged knitter in Germany!
Thank you. I am biased as I grew up here but Germany is lovely too 😊
I'm so pleased that your podcast popped up as a recommendation for me. I'm 61 and I totally agree with your thoughts..I love your makes and I must check out the Hide and Hammer bags, I love the idea of knitting on the move. Please come back soon. Love and hugs Sue xx
Thank you 😊
Hello from Ohio in the US. Loved your podcast! As a middle aged knitter I relate to Everything your saying. I felt the same way about the Sophie shawl. It’s just garter stitch. No big deal. I decided to knit one just to use up some stash and I think I will like it. I may even knit more! I will look forward to your next podcast. 😊
Thank you. It’s great to see so many of us Feel the same way! 😊
Agree! I’m thinking of making one today! What a treat to see Jane pop up on my CZcams feed… I’m also here in Ohio, USA!
@@mizzkain thank you 😊
I so enjoyed your premiere podcast. I, too, am middle aged and fighting the speeding tummy. I can't wear the cropped sweaters and the yoke sweaters with no shoulders. I look forward to more episodes. I enjoyed seeing the coastline at the beginning and end and hearing your perspective on projects, patterns and yarns!
Thank you. I am glad it’s not just me who doesn’t wear cropped sweater 😂
I would want to watch a middle aged knitter and you are lovely. I really relate to your channel. I am a knitter of many years but still don’t have the courage to tackle some of the gorgeous garments I see on other podcast. I stick to my socks and jumpers and basic knitting.
Found your podcast today--what a delight. I'm in Nebraska, USA. My latest cardigan make, which I really love is the Toni by Cocoknits. I'm in my 60's and really like how it fits me. Look forward to seeing what cardigan you decide to make.
Thank you. Is that knitted in the Cocoknits method? I have yet to try their way of knitting but will now check out the pattern. 😊 more choices 😩
Your podcast is SO refreshing ❤ ….
Thank you 😊
I'm so glad you decided to podcast, I really enjoyed it, and look forward to seeing more.
I loved your Sophie Shawl and Scarves. I have also been thinking about knitting them but was undecided, now that I have seen yours I will be casting them on.
The Wood Nymph socks are so pretty, it's a lovely design. I also have a high instep and am not a big fan of the heel flap and gusset, mainly I don't like the way it looks, so I'm always on the lookout for a better heel. I can use the Fish Lips Kiss if I increase 6 stitches just before the heel start and decrease just after the heel ending. The Umbrella Socks by Kay Jones also fit me without any modifications.
The Nordstrand Sweater is so pretty and I love your colors.
Take care and I look forward to seeing you again.
Some great tips and thank you 😊
What a DELIGHT to see your blog this morning on my CZcams feed! I’m in the US, in SW Ohio (between Dayton and Cincinnati). I loved how you explained how you choose colors! Your comfy chatty style is a natural for the types of videos I like to watch. (My great-grandmother came to the states in the 1890s from her home in Lands End Cornwall, and I’m determined to travel one day to see that area for myself.)
Keep posting and thanks for including quick snips of Cornwall for us to enjoy, too!!
Thank you and there will be much more or Cornwall in the next few months 😊
Hi Jane from Australia. I love watching a podcast which features women our age. Your pattern and yarn choices are delightful and so suitable for our age group. Thank you and look forward to your next vlog.
Lovely video. Great to see someone more in my age bracket doing a vlog. I really enjoy watching/ listening to vlogs, and have been scrolling for an older person delivering one. So, I am glad I found yours. Lots of interesting knitting chat, and nice to see what's on your needles. I fancy the Sophie shawl too! Well done on the vlog. Hope you keep posting. 👍👍👍
Thank you. Definitely give the Sophie a try. Lives up to all the hype 😊
Welcome to knitty CZcams land. I thoroughly enjoyed your podcast and the content. I especially appreciated that you spoke on your podcast with a normal voice. As if we were having a conversation. It was a joy to hear. So many podcasters use this weird voice which goes up high at the end which I find so irritating. But yours was top notch. Welcome again and looking forward to the next one. ❤
Hello from Canada 🇨🇦 😊...very glad to have found your podcast, and I look forward to the next episode
Thank you 😊
Thank you for creating your podcast. Representation matters and more of us need to be out in the community
Thank you 😊
Lovely video with lots of knitting and wool chat. Looking forward to more of these.
Thank you 😊
I can relate to what you are knitting more than I can to someone in their twenties. Thank you for being brave enough to start your podcast. I really enjoyed watching you. Love your projects. I hope you will continue.
Thank you for your lovely comments 😊
Jane you are a Superstar! Just awesome 🌟
So glad I found your podcast. I recently started knitting after 30 years of crocheting. I've been in your lovely shop every year I visit for the past 4 years, it's such a pleasure to look (and squeeze) the beautiful yarns you sell. I'm looking forward to my next visit in June. The cardigan I'm about to start is the Cinnamon Twist Cardigan by Kutovakika. Now I'm off to watch your other podcasts. Thank you. 😊
Yay. Let me know when you are going to visit and I will try to be in the shop. Love that pattern too 😊
Hello, I‘m watching from Germany and thoroughly enjoyed (not only because approaching 60 😮). Looking forward to the next installment 🤩🧶🙏
Hi Jane nice to put a face to a name. The lady from the Ollie and Bella podcast has mentioned your shop very favourably. Lovely to listen to you & your knitting & yarn knowledge. I love a cardigan & I currently have on my needles the Felix cardigan by Amy Christoffer's. I'm knitting it in an Aran weight Jamieson of Shetland yarn . I love the simple but effective detail on the raglan & it should knit up fairly quickly. I'm 54 short & busty so fitting might be a challenge but I'm still 25 in my head 🤣 Looking forward to your next episode & if I'm ever down in Cornwall I'd love to pop into your shop. Take care. X
Thanks for taking the time to start your podcast. It’s great - I love it 🧡
Thank you 😊
Hello from Maine in the USA. Nice to see someone of similar age podcasting. My mum taught me how to knit mittens when I was in my teens and I didn't make much else through the years. A few years ago I started learning something new each winter such as hats with cables or lace patterns. You made me smile talking about only recently knitting socks. I've wanted to try them for a long time so this year I pushed myself to do a pair. Lol, mine are heavier and more for wearing in fall hiking. I am working both at same time (not magic loop) and have the toes left to do. It took me 2 tries to get the first heel flap done and once accomplished I couldn't believe how "not so scary" it was. Like you I am smitten. Great job on the first podcast. I have basic equipment so I'm looking forward to learning about tools and yarns etc.
Such a lovely podcast. So glad you popped up on my feed.
Thank you 😊
Hi Jane loved your podcast,
looking forward to your next podcast, it’s great to have a more mature woman podcasting, I don’t feel so old now, lot older than you, but still love knitting, although I will say , some of the yarn in the shops are a bit out of my price range, but still love seeing them all, subscribed and sending blessings from Scotland
Thank you. I am really conscious how expensive some of the yarn is to buy so we really try to have a wide range of prices in the shop. I love to window shop yarn too sometimes. My daughter now lives in Edinburgh and I really enjoy visiting and the yarn shops 😊
Loved your podcast and enjoy possible future plans. I am about to cast on Andrea Mowry Winter Beach Cardigan. Glad you started to podcast. There is room for everyone no matter there age. Love watching podcast and the ideas that people have. Looking forward to your next. Take care
Thank you. Total Andrea groupie here. 😊
