So much yarny goodness and inspiration 💖💖💖

Helen, you do so much and so well. I really love how your filming area looks on camera - neutral walls with all the beautiful yarn is lovely to look at. 😍 Be safe and enjoy your time with family. We’ll still be here whether you miss a podcast or not. 😉♥️

Your vertices united is so beautiful it hurts ❤ Gorgeous The colors of your sweater are so nice. All the sample knits!!! They did an amazing job. It is so nice to see samples at shows. Always good to spend the morning with you 😊

Hi Helen, thanks for another great episode. So full of knitty ideas and inspiration. As a retired teacher I always thought of the summer holidays as a time that things “quieted down” a little. It sounds to me like you have a full - or even more than full - calendar! Take care and enjoy all the plans and the extra family time you can get during your summer holidays. Until the next time. Salam wa sa’aadah

Wow so many beautiful samples and your Stephen West shawl looks amazing 😻. I knitted the flax sweater for a baby and it was my first knitted sweater and it was so great, I love it 😍. You purchased some lovely acquisitions. The progress keepers are fab xx

Hi Helen 👋, lovely podcast. The vertices shawl is beautiful. I'm sure you will be so pleased when it's finished as the colour's are gorgeous. I hope you and your family enjoy your up and coming holiday. Enjoy your day 😊

It means something like: riding the crest of the wave

Those bug bites look nasty, Helen!! Hope it's not too bad. Yay for summer holidays! I was counting down the hours this morning at school. 🎉 Love your jumper and the vertices unite look fab!! I wanted to start a shawl for the shawl-a-thon, but my yarny mojo has gone a bit (been doing more cross stitch lately). Hopefully it's coming back over next weeks!! The Opal yarn is called "Riding the crest of the waves" (that is a better translation than the literal "Wave crest riding" I think. 😉). The Glittering Snowscape Shawl looks amazing, and I love the colours!! ❤ Looove your teals and turquoises!! And can't wait for your new collection!! 😍 Hope you can enjoy the summer holidays.

That’s how I react to mosquito bites. They tend to be worse around water.

Love your (not 😂) so faded sweater, the colours are stunning!

More garlic needed 😊

Another lovely podcast. I just wanted to thank you for your lovely Christmas advent last year I ordered in Sparkle. I was very ill late last year into this year.Thankfully now making good progress and doing Christmas in July with your advent, it’s the first time I have ordered your yarn it’s lovely thank you 😘

I’m also extremely allergic to bugs, so I totally understand. I live on Benadryl.

Oof you are so close to finishing the so faded and the vertices! Can’t wait to see them done!

I love that Opal yarn, I really want to get some but it’s quite hard to find in Australia. Thank you for sharing all the sample knits - they are lovely!

I am having a horrible season for bug bites. I've not got too many at any one time, fortunately, because they are just driving me around a bend, and I just keep getting them. I have a good bug spray that I use, but it triggers my asthma so I have to apply it outside, not near an open window, and basically hold my breath until it's done so I only think to put it on if I'm expecting bug to try and nibble me. I had to go to the pharmacy today because even when I'm making a point of not itching, I keep unthinkingly itching, even through plasters. So now I have more plasters, and one cream for before I've scratch the bug bite and one cream for after. The woman at the counter said they've had a -lot- of people needing bug bit creams. I think it's because we've had such a wet spring, behind our neighbour's house in the woods there's a seasonal pond but because it dries up in hot spells there's no fish in it, and it must just be a midge larva nursery par excellence. Your samples are all incredibly lovely and it's so exciting that you're going to comic con. I've never been, not even when it was local to where I used to live and I probably knew half the people on the hosting committee.

I also react badly to bug bites, thankfully not many biting insects in the NE, I get a 2-3 bites a year. According to some wool shop websites that is Riding Waves? Not sure about a direct translation though 😅 isn't the quote "Second to the right, and straight on till morning"? Or did you change it for copyright?
