Another lovely podcast, thank you for sharing you just as you are!

As always a great podcast, and your Felix sweater looks great on you. I’m happy that I made your day and lifted your spirits. I am looking forward to be able to make it to one of your knit nights.

Loved your trip to the UK. I live here and you took me down so many memory lanes, thank you. I found you from our lovely Gayna, so glad I did. 😊

I love the new sock design, so happy to see you've decided to release it. So happy you had such a wonderful time at the retreat. All of us ladies of a certain age will know exactly what you were going through and I am glad we live in a time when we can openly discuss the shit show that is the menopause and help each other through it ❤❤

Hi Nancy, I’m still fairly new to your podcast, and just wanted to say how real and heartfelt it was. Thank you for sharing. I love your FO, the colour looks stunning on you. ❤🧶

Hello Nancy…I enjoy your podcasts so much because you don’t candy coat things and I feel I am really knowing the real you! Thank you for that. I am hoping you can help me with the name of a pattern, I believe you knit for your daughter a year or so ago. It was a funky little wrap and it just had sleeves and a section that covered the shoulder area. I think it was in a natural color of yarn. I have perused your back podcasts trying to find it with no luck. My daughter is asking for something like this now. Can you help me with tracking this pattern down? Thank you!

Oh, Nancy, I'm so sorry you've been struggling with the changes we as women are so lucky to experience. I'm glad they have found a way to manage your symptoms and ease the transition. And I agree, you have no need to hide your emotions or apologize for them - we are here for YOU, as much as we know you are there for us. We're your community, too. Delighted you got so much good out of your trip back "home." Sounds like a wonderful, cup-filling time.

Oh my goodness, I LOVE the yarn you dyed 😍 One of these days I’m gonna give it a go. For your cowl…what if after running out of hand spun you just knit plain in the main color. That portion could be the “back” of the cowl that always goes behind the neck. I don’t think anyone would ever see it, and even if they did, it could look purposeful. Just an idea 😉 I’ve knit that awkward length before that is too long but also too short 😂

Lovely! I went to university in Oxford and it brought back some memories :) I am very happy to be going home next week or I think I would have felt more than a little homesick watching this lol x x x

It was lovely to meet you at the retreat Nancy and thank you so much for the lovely gifts you made for us. I sent a cuddle across the airwaves when you were talking about your pesky hormones xx

I wouldn't want you to burden yourself with vlogmas, but...if you have the creative energy to express yourself that way, I would watch every morsel. And "samey, samey" is perfection.

Congratulations to the winners

Sorry - I picked up the Njord Socks a day late for your donation! They’re perfect and I was looking for fingering weight. So glad you made the adjustments for us non-mathers. Thanks, Nancy!

Welcome home, Nancy! It’s good to have you back on RUclips! I would love to know how you do your twisted column on Rob’s Christmas socks. I love something very simple with a self-striping. Happy to pay if you’ve written a pattern. Thank you! And YES! To Vlogmas. 😊

Hi Nancy I’m a newbie I watched the travel vlog as I was at the retreat the week after you and it was lovely seeing all your footage of somewhere so familiar. I’ve been to four retreats and I haven’t used any of my full skeins but have made the minis of two of them into sweaters adding skeins bought from the shop. funny enough there was a firework display on the Saturday night. I’d made it back to my room in Ironbridge and watched it from my window . Your sock designs are lovely. Thank you for not editing out your emotions. It’s so easy for us to say we are fine when we are not. I firmly believe that travelling through difficult times can really strengthen us I’ve just subscribed so look forward to future podcasts.

Love your podcast and your honesty. We are probably around same age. Fun right? Haha! Your trip looked awesome. You are brave going on your own.

Thanks for the show Nancy. I gotta say, that sweater is killer on you, perfect color and fit, beautiful job.

I think I may have been living under a rock because I didn't know you had a podcast until this episode was suggested to me by RUclips!😂Slightly surreal to see where I live on a podcast. Loved watching all of your adventure.💕

Nancy….sending the biggest hug from Maryland. I’m so so glad you’re feeling better and that your England trip was rejuvenating and cathartic. I agree with the other views that there’s no need for apologize, we love you lots!! Love the yarn you dyed…so cool to see your inspiration come to life on a skein. I wonder if you’ll take up this new hobby in the future 🤔

Sounds like a wonderful retreat! Great time with friends.

Vlogmas is always so much fun.. I love them. Same, stuff is fine. .

Thank you, Nancy for such a full, real podcast. I so appreciate all your sharing. I am several years older than you, and I truly remember those days when I was not fit for human consumption!! Unfortunately, I seem to be going through another tough phase, but I'm working on it. I am SO glad you were able to go on the retreat and not only enjoy all the knitting aspects, but also reliving your youth. I dyed yarn once and decided it is not my thing, but I sure appreciate the hand dyers out there! Your skein is lovely!! I have signed up for the Grocery Girls Canmore retreat as a gift to myself as I have always wanted to go on a retreat. I am so looking forward to it! I love your Felix sweater--a pattern on my list!! I hope you do another Vlogmas. I have 3 Advent sets coming--one is from Birdstreet yarn, which I have been oogling. Lastly, I can relate to you getting rid of your mice. I think/hope/pray we are finished with our rats!!

Thank you Nancy! I always enjoy your podcasts, you are a delight to watch. Hearing about your trip was so much fun! Never apologize for your emotions, we have all been there and it’s good to see we are not alone. I see you! Sending you hugs! 💗 Erika

We are heading to the UK in the spring to visit family and was wondering did you have any issue with traveling with metal needles? I want to bring my chiagoo interchangeable set on the plane but am unsure is that is allowed internationally. I never have any trouble flying east to west in Canada. Also wondering why you brought the Zing set with you ? i di have a zing set as well. Thank you for a wonderful podcast. I found you from Becky’s podcast Back to Blighty. Love Canadian base podcasts

Hi Nancy, sending hugs, been there where you are and I am sure you will feel better once the medication is sorted. Beautiful projects and loving the yarn too. Hugs ❤❤❤

Wow! What a wonderful trip, thanks for sharing 😊🎉

Dear Nancy, thank you for everything! For your work as a podcaster and a creator, for your authenticity, for the knitting and traveling daydreaming you inspire me every time I spend time with you. As a fifty-something-years old lady, I did experience a bit of what you went through while trying to find a new balance with those crazy hormones… 😉 So glad that you seem to be on the right path! And as a fellow Canadian living in Quebec City, I also find myself enjoying traveling the old countries, England and France, as I feel I am pretty much a mix of those two cultures that made me what I am today. I know that doing a Vlogmas must be a lot of work, but if you ever decide do embark on that endeavor this year, I will happily follow you! And you don’t need to impose to yourself to invent or create new content in fear we get bored : the charm of those Vlogmases resides in the little things that make our day to day life beautiful… Happy knitting! 🧶🙏

I think of your podcast & this community as a safe place & was so happy you could share your feelings with us. Thank you. I would very much like to see you do vlogmas again this year. Last year's was just wonderful. Hope you have the time for it.

I hope you feel better and that going forward, you are as kind to yourself as you are with everyone else. And if being kind to yourself means regular trips to England to squish yarn and be with wonderful knitty friends, than so be it. I'm thinking of making the trek from NYC to go to the unravel festival in Farnham this February....have you been? I love England too. take very good care of yourself and thanks for lifting us all up with your terrific podcasts. xo

I love all your videos but I say you should take December for yourself…overindulge yourself in your hobbies.

Lovely to see you! So glad you had a wonderful trip. Great job dying your yarn!! I would be happy to watch whatever you want to create during Vlogmas. For me seeing similar content just makes it feel like Christmas!! 🎄🧑🏻‍🎄🎄

Great to watch my hometown (Ironbridge) from a visitors perspective so many things you don't see when you live here!

What happened to your accent?

I very much enjoyed your travel blog. Please don’t apologise for the way you feel or the tears. I’ve been back in Australia for 8 years but lived in the UK for 11 years and I miss it terribly. I had a bit of a tear in my eyes watching your video, because I lived for about 8 years in Twyford and Bracknell (near Reading). So I can relate to the emotion around being in the UK which I will always feel connected to. I’m glad you had such a good trip x

I would love to watch your vlogmas should you decide to do it!😊 Also, will the Njord pattern be updated on Love Crafts? I try to purchase there-thanks!

I just discovered you this year and then met you in person in the hallway on the Friday of Knit City Toronto. I went back and watched your Vlogmas from last year and loved it. I would love to see you through December in whatever capacity you feel you could manage. You are lovely to hang out with. :)

Hi Nancy, I loved your vlog of your trip. You are by far my favourite podcaster. You are terrific and keep it real. Hormones,mice and all! We are all in the same boat. I enjoyed your vlogmas last year….and do hope you can do it again. Take care.

Menopause is no joke and it sucks. I had a sudden menopause at 30 and then the universe decided to do all the awful stuff again 20 years later. (Hormones are just cruel) I’m glad they got your medication figured out - it’s a life saver. So glad you are feeling better and had a wonderful time in England.

Love your podcasts, love your sock patterns! As soon as I watched the part about where the money you raise from the sales on the Njord sock pattern goes, I bought the pattern immediately! A tip - you know all those lone braids of fibre that you spin up that will go into a "colourwork sweater"? I'm also a spinner, and like to plan my odd single handspun skeins to go eventually into an Andrea Mowry Nightshift shawl. You need 6 different skeins for that! 😊😅

Hello Nancy. I’m so glad that you enjoyed your trip to the UK. My daughter and I went to the Woollay retreat the weekend after you did and had a great time. We also stayed at the pub and had the overhot bathroom radiator experience, although we had the family room. It was a great retreat, I’d love to go again but we travelled across from Kent by train and it was a bit of a mission. Love your podcast.

Another great episode Nancy. As another woman of a certain age I totally understand how you have been feeling. I'm so glad things are a bit better for you now. Sending a hug xx

Loved travelling vicariously with you on your trip to the UK! You are indeed blessed to have connected with such supportive knitting friends! So glad to hear you are feeling better too. Take care! 🧶🤗

The yardage on your Rambouillet spin is incredible. Wonderful colours. I’m working on Targhee for the first time and thinking it will behave the same way.

The color of your Felix suits you so well 🩷 Going to copy your idea for the Litmus/which way cowl and thank you for sharing your moments with us, and as one child immigrant to another, I totally relate to your feelings of going home to recharge 🫶🫶🫶🫶

Never be sorry, we've all been through this, take care of yourself, sending hugs.

Would love to see you in Vlogmas,🥰

Dear Nancy, I am so glad that you enjoyed your trip to your "home" country. All my forefathers come from the UK. Spending time with your yarny friends is so special. The skein you dyed is so beautiful. All the minis that you received would make a nice memory lap blanket. I love that you donate to charities close to your heart. 💜

I so enjoy your podcasts and would Love 🎄Vlogmas!!! I cried when I saw the group of ladies you were with at the yarn retreat!! Such precious women and can only imagine the lifelong connections you have made!! Your yarn is BEAUTIFUL!!!

Oh yummy yummy beautiful skeins of wool.
