Hello Sarah, I am a young 80 year old and I went through a filet crochet time in my life. I looked into my basket of all my crochet cotton with a lot of pretty lace pieces I never finished. I love the curtain on your window. I did make curtains that I finished and many doilies, tablecloths and coasters. It was funny that it was on the same day you talked about it.
Itâs absolutely charming to hear you refer to your heart jumping over the crafty adventures! The example between your heart and your head, make my heart jump, because I relate to the whole experience and for myself, thought: âam I crazy?â Who else thinks like this? How can I explain this process to anyone? Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Itâs a gift!
Thanks for the lovely podcast, Sarah. I love your crochet curtain and macrame plant hangers! In the US we call the window covering with horizontal slats âblinds.â
Hej, Sarah, thank for your episode, itâs always a joy to watch and so much inspiration! I remember the little crochet curtains, they were very popular in german country style in the 1980/1990s years. Cute memory! Iâve the same window situation, the âGehwegâ, the sidewalk and street to our marina is just in front of my living room windows. Most time, I donât mind people passing by, only tourists stare direct into the windows ⊠or friends, I like to wave at or meet for a chat. I donât like curtains. So Iâve some roller blind inside the window frame (not above!) for the sunlight in summertimes or some privacy. I cover them with a âSchabrackeâ, itâs a short curtain inside the window frame at the top of the window, mine is simple linen. Itâs like a little clothing for the window, so the also donât feel exposed! đ€Ł
Hello lovely,Sarah from Australia đđšđ...we say " footpath" here.Very pretty filet curtain...on some "dowel"( that wooden thing").Love listening to you You would smile at Aussie slang.đ.Love languages and craft like you.đxx
Love that you follow your heart.....you are a true inspiration Sarah ! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
Thank you, Sarah! Your crochet plants sure did fool me! :) I love see homes from other lands. Lovely makes. I want to knit the Remi!
Trottoir in American English is called a sidewalk đ in British English it is a pavement đ
And in Australia itâs a footpath đ
I love the filet crochet on your window. I would love to make one but like you, I realize it might be beyond my patience. Thank you for sharing your "crafty adventures."
Hi Sarah, with our shared Dutch ancestors filet crochet and Hollandse kant were very popular in South Africa. Also the makramie hanging potplant holders were very popular. We use the word stoep for our porches. Sypaadjie is the sidewalk. I don't crochet but my mom does. I buy all the yarn for crochet projects and she makes them for me. Atm she is busy with a feather stitch striped crochet blanket. It's a very pretty pattern if you want to Google it. I'm knitting hats, scarves and gloves because winter is coming to the southern hemisphere. Alway a joy watching your podcasts, thank you đ
Sidewalk or walking path by your window, which has a lovely wide window sill lol and the wooden dowel, or curtain rod shouldnât buckle under the light weight of the filet crochet. If youâre worried, u can always add a suction cup hanger to the window, but it may cheapen the look. What a beautiful home u have!
My husband's family was Dutch, and he wanted lace curtains in our windows like the ones we saw in Amsterdam. We hired a friend to make macramé curtains from cord in the 80's. We live near Chicago, IL.
Sarah, I love listening to you. You are so fun. Love all your knitting
â€
I finished a Granny Stripe blanket for my daughters double bed two weeks ago. I did each stripe a different colour and wove my ends in every ten to twelve rows so I wouldnât be overwhelmed with weaving in at the end. I started it at the end of January. She loves it and our winter is about to begin so the timing was perfect for finishing. She said itâs very warm and the weight is perfect. Yay! Now I am knitting my first garment since I was a young girl and Iâm learning quite a few new to me techniques like twisted rib and tubular cast off.
In uk the pavement â€
And the window covers are called blinds
I have just started learning filet crochet as I wanted these type of curtains all my adult lifeâŠ. I love your curtain thanks for showing this todayâŠyou have inspired me to get started.đâ€ïž
In Poland the crocheted cutrains are called "firanki."They often had animals crocheted into them, kittens and bunnies with butterflies. Now these are usually just a sheer fabric or a lace fabric. In America these are called "sheers" so you can see out but people cant see in.
Lovely to listen to you chatting Sarah. Every time you get stuck for a word, I wish we could tell you. Lol! Where the people walk outside your house, they are walking on a FOOTPATH. :) Oh, and window sill was correct!
I love your crochet square blanket that your husband loves. Can you please tell me the pattern? Your English is amazing. I just wish I had a second language.
Ooh that lovely filet crochet curtain đ thanks for keeping me company while I work on my Corran cardigan. I also just bought the Tolsta tee pattern- you have been inspiring me to knit up Rebecca Clow designs for summer. Have a lovely week x
Thank you Sarah. Lovely podcast as always đđ§Ą
Dear Sarah oh my its so pretty the curtainsđ so even though you gonna use the yarn Im a bit sorry you ripped it outđ„čđ sent it to me - the pattern were so nice đ
Anyway thank you for a lovely episode again . I really enjoy your company.
Happy regards
Maja
Thank you Sarah x
Hi Sarah, thank you for a lovely podcast - would you mind talking a bit about your granny square blanket? I can only crochet a tiny bit but would love to make one Thank you Tracy
In Australia we call them footpaths †I like that term, after all it is our feet connecting to a path. Windows treatments could be Venetian blinds or there is a trend to use wooden shutters in my part of the planet. They look very nice indeed. Love your podcasts.
In Aussie the stoop is called a footpath. When I hear stoop I think of it as an old fashioned word for the front door step, where one step up to someones front door.
Lovely podcast as always Sarah. How do you spell the Dutch equivalent of your crafty adventures â€xxx
đIch dachte ich wĂ€re die einzige die auf ihr Herz beim Stricken hört â€đ
Stoop is fine, or step if going up, or path used in Australia or in America, sidewalk. For the window, just a blind or Venetian blind.
Hi SarahđšđŠ I think your English is pretty good ! Another lovely video Sarah â€
Mini blinds...is the word you're looking for. I just love watching you. Youre so cute. I love your sense of humor. Also your knits.
You're very talented. Thank you for your podcast. Lace crochet curtains.
We also have fillet crochet curtains
Love your podcast in US we called them blinds, and crosswalk is where we walk. My grandmother always crochet her curtains I wish I had some of them.
In Canada, we can call the front stairs and entry area the stoop or the front steps. Both are used. And the window covering with slats that you can open or close are called blinds.
Hello Sarah, your podcasts are always so much fun. I love it when you say something makes your heart jump. For me it makes me excited. Especially when I make something for someone and they love it and my granddaughter Pippie tells everyone what I make her.
Hi Sarah - listening to you talk about your knitting relaxes me and it makes sense in needing and wanting a summer shirt - its not quite summer here in the US so you helped me decide to cast on my summer tolsta tee on later instead of right at this minute
Hiya - in British English we say 'pavement', in the US they say 'sidewalk.' Always delightful to listen to your knitting and crochet tales x
I think you want âside walkâ. The pathway that people walk on
Nice lace curtain, why are you undoing it? My Thailand friend used to crochet so many nice lace weight doilies and tablecloths.
I want to make a granny stripe blanket! đâ„ïžđâ„ïžđ
Pedestrian way or footpath
And itâs much better to be practical and dust free đđ
Love your curtains. Did you use a pattern?
In America its sidewalks. Not stoop
â€â€
Sidewalk
The sidewalk.
pedestrians walk on the sidewalk in USA
First đđ
SARAHâŠ. YOU LIKE TO PUT YOUR LOVE đ IN YOUR KNITTING 𧶠ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS A GIFT đâŠ. IM THE SAME WAY đ. Love â€ïž LOVE YOUR GRANNY SCRAP BLANKET⊠CANT WAIT TO SEE YOUR NEW FINISHED BLANKETâŠ..
Decolletage (end sounds like Taj....soft J) ... We use it, too. But more common is cleavage
And i think you were looking for sidewalk. When people say stoop, they mean a small front porch (used mostly on the east coast)
