    So sad to hear that your husband was ill, but so happy that all is well now❤ Yes, prayer is definitely our strongest weapon! When I got cancer people from all over the world prayed for me and I really felt that the prayer carried me through and gave me strenght!
    Your sea glass tee is so beautiful. Can't wait to see more of it🤗 Thank you so much for a wonderful time with you, Fernanda🥰 Wishing you and your loved ones a blessed week🌼 warm hugs from Norway

    Hello Fernanda, thankful that your husband is well. Praise God. Just found your channel! Love everything that you do! I’m also a prayer warrior and can attest to the power of prayer. You are a wonderful lady and I have to say that when I saw you wearing the Poppy Cardigan, I fell in love with those colours and the gorgeous design!

    Love your podcast. Beautiful job on all your green makes for the month of February. Glad to see your Regia socks they are gorgeous. I have the yarn and plan to make a pair for myself. March socks screams Spring, love it. I need to make a pair of socks using eye of partridge heal. Thanks for sharing.

    I still haven’t finish all the videos but I have to say, I cheated, because here I am watching the last podcast and how happy I am your husband is in good health and home, it touched me how sensitive you are.
    I also have to say, wow Fernanda, I’m in love with all your earrings you wear while recording your podcast, what a treat to see you wearing them.
    Thanks for the great entertainment and tips, for the notes on each episode and to finish, I knit in even rows, never odds, lol
    So we are weird together, you with your 5ths and I with my even.

    Hi Fernanda. I love seeing the colors you use. Someday I’ll need to find some of those cones like you get, the brown one that you have is so lovely. I really like the way your eye of partridge heel turns out. When I do that heel, it seems like it’s less textured.

    • @littlemonkeysandme3171

    That type of neckline that is wide and stands up away from the neck is called a funnel neck. It was popular in fashion in the 1960s. It's supposed to create the illusion of a longer neck. Judy Garland in her later years was a fan of that style, she thought she had a short neck. Just a bit of fashion trivia.

    So glad to hear that your hubby is ok and out of hospital, Fernanda that would’ve been a worrying time for you. Love your Diagon Alley, I have 300g of Skogsrå here but not sure what it’s going to be yet. I am finding it much easier knitting with Nutiden now and I even cast on using the German twisted cast on with no issues. Love all your projects and will be interested to see which way you go with the Catkins, it’s so pretty.

    You're not alone with the number thing on the ribbing lol! I recently completed a sweater and the instructions were to knit 23 rows for the ribbing and I DID stop at 23 but it kinda felt soooo incorrect hahaha! I still stopped because the sleeves had cables so I felt like they took forever to knit and I was SO done with them.
    I liked the little Portuguese lesson lol! I didn't know that at all!

    Oooh, I hope I'm lucky enough to try Nutiden soon! I've recently used Plotulopi for the first time, and loved it. Before I finished the TULC cardigan I made with it I ordered more to knit a Wild Posy. If I get the Nutiden I will knit a Tulip sweater. I have a podcast recommendation...I don't know if you've seen Somer Knits? ....Somer lives somewhere in the States and knits lots of beautiful sweaters. I also ordered WoolyKnits cones using Rebecca's discount code. I cast on a Bridgerton sweater immediately, and I can't explain how much I'm enjoying the feel of this wool! I bought 3 cones and 1 hank...I think my total came to £75 which included the shipping to Canada. I'll for sure watch for sales and purchase more in the future

  • @MagdaKnits
    @MagdaKnits Před 2 lety +1

    So sorry about your husband!!! But I'm glad to hear he's okay now. When you described your experience of not being able to knit while he was in the hospital, I could 100% relate to that. When things get extremely stressful for me (and I mean SUPER stressful, not the "every-day" stress) I can't knit either, not even mindless stockinette. Maybe because knitting is a happy place for me where I relax and taking problems to that happy place doesn't work for me 🤔
    And yes, you got the pronunciation of Marzena Kołaczek's name so nicely! 😁
    As for your No Frills, if you're hesitating between the sizes, I would go for the smaller one. When I made mine, I swatched, looked at the measurements and yet I ended up having too much positive ease for my liking (unless you want something quite oversized of course).

    • @littlemonkeysandme3171

      Thank you Magda! I am glad john is ok too. We like him lots 😭😍 yeah, I took a sock to knit, but I just couldn’t concentrate, I went over 36 hours without sleeping while we waited for some things to get resolved. I got only a few rows in…I just couldn’t do mindless knitting either. I’m so glad that I said her name right 😍 thank you for helping me!
      Thank you for info on the no frills!! I think I will make one then! 😍

    I enjoy your “craziness” very positive! So happy your husband is ok and home🙏🏼. Knittybnatty has a fabulous yarn cozy and I just made my first one last week. Very quick and keeps the yarn cake from falling apart when going from the center of the cake. I like your seaglass sweater. Pretty colors. I am doing the magic knot, I am being super careful that I tie them properly and pull them tight. So far no issues with coming apart at all! I agree they chose this as the best option and I trusted them :)

    So good to see you! I'm home sick so this is a treat. Oh my goodness- I'm excited to see your Sea Glass tee. I started twice and had to frog both, then take a break. I was using magic knots with the fray and they were coming undone. I think if I did it again, I may leave the knots long before cutting them because one they came undone- and the glue stuck to another yarn- EEEE..
    And yes, prayer is very strong. It can be felt. I sure hope everyone is well and stays well. All the best to you all, Kimberly

      @littlemonkeysandme3171  Před 2 lety

      I am so sorry Ally! yeah, the sizes are not very big. I don’t know how, but everyone has told me that the pattern runs big anyways? 🤷🏻‍♀️ I guess you could try and knit until you separate for sleeves and try it on? If it’s not big enough you could make the raglan a bit deeper and like that the arm hole will be bigger?
