Dear Linda. Thank you so much for the inspiration. I enjoy watching your podcast very much, and right now in particular because I was so unfortunate to break my wrist during my vacation in Greece, so I had to go home earlier to get a surgery😢 Now I’m home from work the next 6 weeks and I’m not allowed to drive my car in that time. Having all this time and struggling to knit just a tiny bit is really hard because I have some nerve damage. So I spent my time watching knitting podcasts and you always make me smile 😊 I love your energy and all your lovely projects ❤
@forthefunofknit53222 күн бұрын
Oh Charlotte… so sorry to hear of your injury. While I can imagine it is super frustrating to have limited use of your hand I am glad you are on the road to recovery. Hopefully you will get a chance to go back to Greece at some point and complete your trip. Take care and glad I could keep you company for an hour🤗

Hi Linda! I just love your channel so much! I am a “60 something” knitter and while I enjoy watching young podcasters, I get so much more out of your projects (so much my taste) plus you are so good about communicating what you learn from each project. You see, I look at the projects and think, “Oh, I want to knit that too,” so it helps me to avoid the same pitfalls. Anyway, you are upbeat, lovely, and you’re a wonderful knitter/spinner! Brenda

20 WIPS?!? I don't know how you do it. I'm really bad at keeping notes & as I'm getting older, I CRS, therefore, I can only work on 2 *maybe* 3 projects at a time (and one of those is definitely socks). I used to be a prolific quilter & quilt project starter. And when I started knitting again, I promised myself I would not go down that path of starting and not finishing a project. I've been able to keep that promise to myself. I do currently have one project that's on the needles that's not being worked on because it's hurting my hands. I can't figure out if it's the needle size (US 8) or the yarn (B & L Heritage) or the pattern or a combination of all three. You must have quite a needle collection!!!😊

Hi Linda, so nice seeing you again. I love your stephen west shawl knitted with twirl. Really have to try that yarn in the future. I always try to keep my wip's limited to 3 or 4. Otherwise especially with sweaters, i sometimes get confused with the pattern . Certainly when there are cables or lace. Compliments with your spinning results! Enjoy flock fest!

There's an app, My Row counter you put in the # of stitches you have and how many stitches you want - it tells you how many stitches to decrease or increase. Love this app. Also I have been setting a timer for 30 minutes and I just work on one project. Then I put it away and set up another timer and work on another project. I do this daily and work on different projects so that I devote time to all the projects and make progress. Good luck!

You are a busy girl. I subscribe but the algorithms of Google are not notifying me of your podcasts. So I have catch-up to do. I have 3 WIPs and dont usually start another till all are finished. Starting to build up. Usually only 1 on the go. But had to frog Born on the Beach to re-knit in a larger gauge. Currently doing a King Cole summer lace knit 5737 in horrible Finesse yarn - Cotton/silk which sheds terribly. Will never buy it again. The other WIP is on the back-burner. Xmas blanket from Fleece & Harmony from last year. Trying to knit the squares all in one as a double knit. How is your Mum?
