Welcome to the first episode of the Nellie and Eve podcast.
This is where I’ll be sharing my knitting and crochet projects, chats about wool, yarn, sheep and natural dyeing and snippets of life on a mountain in West Wales, UK.
Hope you enjoy.

Congratulations Helen and nellieandeve on your first lovely podcast - can't wait to see how your dye garden develops, your colours are always so beautiful and lovely to work with, I love your shawl patterns and kits - quick and enjoyable to knit and look and feel lovely to wear! And it was amazing to see how the plants look growing, especially the madder and tansy, looking forward to seeing what you turn them into when they're 'grown up'! More episodes please, Karen in Dorset 🙂
Thank you so much.
Lovely podcast, l look forward to seeing the dye garden evolve, l wish l could concentrate on one project at a time, l am sure l would get more finished items! 🧶❤
Thank you Julie
I watched the second podcast before this one! I'm a monogamous knitter as I have so little storage space for WIPs and I tend to knit when I want something to wear or to give as a gift.
I'm looking forward to seeing the dyer's garden develop. It'll be beautiful!
Sounds like a perfectly good reason to knit one wip at a time.
Yay!! CZcamsr Helen!! Great podcast and always good to see lush Wales!!
Guilty of having many projects in bags around the house!! Mostly because I enjoy the knitting and not the finishing!! I will try to get my 'Harry' cardigan finished for when I see you next?!! 😂😂
Hello my friend I’ll look forward to seeing this project finished 😉
Lovely first episode. I enjoyed the tour of your dye garden and hearing the birds and the sheep in the background. It makes me miss home (currently living in Norway). I'm also a one-at-a-time knitter. :D
Glad you enjoyed it, nice to meet a fellow OOATK 😃🧶
Hello Helen. Really enjoyed your first vlog and seeing your lovey finished knits and garden. Your yarns are gorgeous and as another viewer mentioned, I have to wait until I find that special pattern to use them. I try not to have too many WIP’s, usually a couple of tops and a socks on the go. I find this manageable and that I just might finish them all!😁
Thank you so much Janette.
Lovely podcast. Thank you. Following you from the prairies in Canada with a much more limited dye garden
Thank you for watching 🌿🌸
Hello Helen from the SE of the US. You did a super job! LOVED the garden and your farm and scenery. It's really beautiful. I have ancestry from the Isle of Lewis and the Isle of Sky so I am always interested in info about Wales. Your yarns in the shop are fantastic. Those patterns were new to me so that was fun too.
Thank you for watching, lovely to know you enjoyed this episode.
Well done Helen. Love your yarns and your podcast 😊
Thank you Pam
Hi, lovely to see you again we met at wonderwool. I'm not expecting you remember. I did get some beautiful yarn from you . Also it's delightful to see your flock of sheep at end.
Thank you Caroline
Fab episode!! “Knitting projects ready for the next season”??!!! What organised madness is that??!! 🤪🤪 😂😂 Lovely to see your dye garden plans. Look forward to the next ep ❤🎉
Thank you Lynne 🌸🌿🧶
Hi, I just found your podcast. I purchased two skeins of your yarn at wonderwool wales to make a shawl, and it's a lovely yarn. Looking forward to next podcast xxx
Thank you Jacky, good to hear you are loving the yarn.
Enjoyed your video and you in general. I am usually a one project wip but just recently tried having 3 at once. I don’t like it so am getting one finished at a time. Love your garden. So lush. I live in a very dry climate so appreciate so much green. My excuse for having weeds in my beds is not rain but wind. Not very nice to work in.
Enjoy those wips.
Thank you for sharing that, I really enjoyed it
Thank you Trish
It was lovely to see you, your projects, your garden. and hear your voice (plus all the sheep and bird sounds!). I, too, am a one-project-at-a-time knitter. I never know which to work on if I do more than one, and I seem to see progress faster with one.
Nice to meet you Jane, glad to hear it’s not just me 😁🧶
Fabulous Helen, loved seeing your finished creations and your garden in progress.
Thank you for watching
Nice to meet you. My mother’s name was Helen.
👋🏻
What a lovely podcast Helen can’t wait to see the progress on your dye garden and look forward to seeing more of your projects and your life in Wales. Your yarn is gorgeous too❤
Many thanks for watching
Just found you, loved your podcast. So nice to see your knits and your garden in the lovely Welsh countryside. Your yarn looks so beautiful. Very good to see patterns from designers I hadn't heard of and things I thought i could actually manage to do (being a novice knitter). Looking forward to seeing more from you and watching your dye garden progress.
Thank you Louise. Hope you give the patterns a try.
@@nellieandeve I've just bought the Dead Easy Sweater pattern so will be giving that a go next 😊 x
@@louisewilson1063 oh great, hope you enjoy it. 😀
Whoop whoop …. So good to see you on the old you tubes!! How exciting! Xx
Thanks Carol
Perhaps the Field sweater in that lovely rust yarn
Ooo yes, that’s a lovely pattern 🧶
Very nice podcast
Thank you Linda
❤❤❤
Such a lovely podcast!! I class your yarn as my treat yarn!! I’m always looking for special projects to use it on.
Thank you so much ☺️
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I’ve followed you on Instagram and was very pleased to see your podcast announcement - great job! Your opening shots of the landscape is beautiful too!
Thanks Jill
Yay. Welcome 🤗 lovely calm podcast.
Oh wow, Jane, welcome, you are my first viewer other than a friend who has helped me test this out.Glad you enjoyed it!
I will give you a mention on my next one ☺️ it really was lovely
@@thecornishknitter ah, thanks so much Jane x
Hi Helen, lovely to see you on CZcams. I'm really loving your Trysori Teal yarn I bought at Wonderwool, I'm making the Dead Easy Sweater, and it's living up to its name 😁 and it's nearly finished. Looking forward to watching the progress on your dyeing garden 😁 x
I’m so pleased to hear you’re enjoying that pattern. Dye garden has had a hair cut this afternoon…looking better already! 😆
I’m delighted to have found you! What a visual and auditory treat you have created. Thank you!
Thank you so much for watching.
I enjoyed your episode. Nice to see your dye garden & your lovely projects. Thanks from a rainy Scotland 🏴
Glad you enjoyed it.
I just found you today!💕🧶. I enjoyed your podcast and subscribed. This was interesting and I look forward to seeing you again. Hope all is well with you and that you have made lots of progress on your eye garden. Best wishes! I’m a knitter, currently working on lots of socks for family members in the warm summer months here in Maine USA. I like the cooler weather best so I can work on my sweaters for the cold months.
Sincerely
Katie
Thank you for finding me & subscribing Kate.
Lovely first podcast. Wonderful to get to know you better as I don’t get to many yarn shows. The Fleur sweater is on ravelry. Love your finished knits. Really helps show off your yarn for me. Look forward to further podcasts ☺️
Thank you Clare, I’ll head over to Ravelry for the pattern. Think I’ll still do knitted sleeves ☺️
@@nellieandeve great idea. I love to mix my knits up to suit me🐾
A great podcast- so interesting to see and hear about your work and environment. I love your yarns 😍
Thank you Jane 🌸🧶🌿
Thank you for a lovely video! Such a calm and relaxing video to do some crocheting to. I'm looking forward to the next one. BTW - I found it from an instagram posting by Welshtenor.
I'll check out your yarns (loved the colour you showed in the video 🥰) but it's always such a challenge buying something from outside the EU since it usually gets stuck in the Swedish customs for a couple of weeks 🙄.
I don't have a lot of WIPs as I try to concentrate on finnishing the things I start. At the moment I have 2 crochet projects and 2 knitting projects (one is a sock project that I keep for having a project that is easy to bring along to spend waiting time with).
Thank you for watching
What a joy to find you ! Such interesting content, and for someone with hearing problems, perfectly audible !
I love knitting and gardening so this is the perfect combination.. I know nothing about dyeing wool, but would love to know what colour the Lady's Bed straw produces as it is rampant in my tiny Swansea garden !
Hi Betty, glad you enjoyed the episode. One can get pinky tones from Lady’s Bedstraw with some effort but the plant has many other uses. 🌿
@@nellieandeve Thanks Helen. I have since looked at your 2nd one podcast and am looking forward to more
How lovely to see Nellie and Eve on CZcams! I met you during VKL this year and absolutely love using your yarn. Looking forward to more episodes!
Oh thank you so much for watching.
wonderful Helen - a delight x
Thank you Ali, glad you enjoyed it
Really enjoyed this Helen 😊 and love your Albers Slipover - will you be having kits for this on your website?
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. Kits will be in the shop on Tuesday.
Thank you 😊❤
