    Hi Kirsten, I just wanted to add that Emily Foden is actually Canadian and lives in Mooresburg Ontario. She is a knitwear designer and yarn dyer. Her wool company was called Viola, and was widely sought after. The book does have accessories, but also many garments. This book is an ode to Canadian winters, and the experience of rural winter living..❤

    I got such a laugh from your teacher story. I was a teacher of littles for many years and one year I had a little girl who liked to lick too. I couldn’t believe the words, “let’s not lick the floor” came out of my mouth one morning! Yes! Such laughter comes from teacher children! Have a great school year!

    Hey Kristen. Yep, hurting heart from our children leaving. Had youngest 23yo come home for weekend and still, on his leaving - aching heart. Knitting helps yes. Such an odd thing - all those years spent with those beautiful souls and then they fly away. Some of us more affected than others I see. Loved your podcast book review thanks. Some gorgeous patterns in them alright. 🥰

    I have a funny story from when my son was a little (4-5). My son’s name is Donovan and I often call him D-man. We were at a 6 Flags amusement park around the Halloween season. As we were walking around we saw lots of people dressed up spookily, and at one point I pointed out a great costume to him by saying, “Hey, look at the demon 😈!!” He started to cry, immediately I thought he might have gotten scared, I knelt down and said “my goodness, what’s wrong? “ He said, Mom, why do you call me that? D-man…demon. Boy did I feel bad.

    It's because you teach them to keep their hands to themselves that they don't do it as older students or as adults. I'm retired now, but the thing the first week back always involved for me was burning thighs. I had a classroom at the farthest point from the parking lot, on the lower level of the building. When getting my classroom set up for the year, I had to go up and down 2 flights of 17 steps over and over again! Luckily, you can google pronunciation of names and usually get close to the correct pronunciation. I also agree the it's important to say a child's name correctly, because you're also teaching the other children to say it correctly. I agree that flat bedsheets provide great fabric that is wide and long. Cute overalls!

    Hello from the west coast of Finland. This was the first video of yours that I watched and I started watching because I love beautiful knitting books. I think I´ve seen those before but it doesn´t matter. I was interest to see your choices and what you thought about the books. I have usually knitted something from the books that I have bought but as you know there is so much to knit and so little time so I also have a couple of books that I haven´t knitted anything yet. I do have plans though and as I said I love beautiful knitting books so they give inspiration and when the time is right you might start a project from the book that you have.
    And this probably isn´t that important and it probably won´t help at all but any way, you pronounce Finnish mostly as it is written.

    I already received my year of knitting and love the patterns, however I must return it because it is not size inclusive. Some of the patterns only go up to a large, just to let others who might be considering buying it. Most podcasters won’t present a pattern book that isn’t, it was my error in assuming.
