What a delightful hour I've just spent in your company! Anja is such an inspiration to all of us and she brings joy to our lives in her wonderful creative projects. You too are a very special person and your insightful questions and gentle ways clearly helped Anja to feel comfortable. It was like sitting with two friends chatting over a cup of tea. Thank you Teresa xxx
Hi Teresa what a fabulous interview you have done with Anja. Great questions which we would all like to have asked. It was lovely to hear how it all started and how much the community has grown over the years. I don’t know where I have been for the last few years but I only found Ophelia Talks earlier this year. I have learnt so much and I have crocheted so many different things and challenged myself to do new stitches all because of this channel. What a wonderful international group we are. Take care and I wish you every success in the future and look forward to seeing more on your channel. ❤️❤️
Wow what a wonderful interview with Anya. I love her channel. Yes bring her to the USA. Maybe do a yoga/crochet retreat. I would be there in a flash. Anya told us on her last live of this interview. It was a way to get to know you as well Teresa & many me curious about your channel. Thank you from a canadian girl.
Teresa enjoyed your sweet Texas accent. Enjoyed your interview with Anja. She has helped me in learning the correct hook I should be using for my blankets. My favorites are her granny stripe and her c2c on her Color Theory Blanket. Thanks again for the interview.
Thank you Teresa for this fantastic interview! I had such fun with your questions and it really made me think about the origin of those lookbooks! I think it was something I read in one of my translations, this company produced lookbooks for their wallpaper, so actual big books with swatches in it, and my brain just took a leap and transferred the idea into video and that was around the time I was making the modern vintage blanket, and when I finished the blanket I just wanted to try it out. and the rest as they say, is history! Anja x
What an extraordinary interview!! Your questions illustrate how well you know Anja! Brava! I had the pleasure of meeting Anja when she visited New York quite a few years ago. It was one of the most joyful days I had experienced in a long time. I am so happy you captured her essence in your interview. This is one case where we can agree, "you get what you see" in Anja! Thank you for this.!!
Theresa! I really enjoyed this interview, I too get much inspiration from Ophelia Talks! I know it must be so much work for Anja and Dirk to run the web 58:39 shop on top of making the videos, but they seem to have it down pat now! I cannot believe it’s been 10 years! ❤
You are a really good interviewer!! I have been following Anja's channel for years!! I have done almost all her calls beginning with Ode to Anna. She is such a gem!!
Teresa, I think you've put into words what I could not. Anja is very special. I have only recently found Ophelia Talks so I have a wealth of videos to go back and view. I have just started the Windermere CAL and I just love being taken on the journey she has set out for us. Thank you for the great interview!
What a lovely interview with Anja! I was privileged to host Anja and Dirk at my home one afternoon last year at the start of the Greenway CAL. I was so nervous that Anja was coming to my home here in the UK but immediately she made me feel at ease and she and Dirk were so friendly and chatty that the afternoon just flew. Anja was just the same as she is in the Sunday RUclips Lives even though she didn't know me at all. What a talented lady she is. Thank you Teresa for your video.
Oh I would be so nervous as well. It is great that we all can get to know her and crochet together. Thank you for watching and sharing your experience with Anja and Dirk!
Teresa, I want to tell you that I really enjoyed your interview with Anja, you did a fantastic job. I retired at the end of 2019 and I hadn't crochet for about 10 years. I found Anja channel in 2020 when she was just about to do her Ode to Anna CAL. I didn't even know what a CAL was so I lookup her video about What is a CAL. I jumped right in, ordered my yarn and join in my first CAL with her and have been a fan ever since. It was something about her voice and how she taught. You brought out so many things about Anja and I really, really enjoyed that interview. I want to say that I have been a fan of yours also. That southern drawl gets me every time😊. I'm a Alabama girl, born in Selma but live in Ohio now. I have watched you for sometime and I hope that your channel grow.
Hi Teresa. What fun to have been able to do this with Anja. I am also a fellow Ophelian here in Dallas, TX. I found her back in 2020 and haven’t stopped watching. I even went back to her earliest videos and would have them playing while I worked. And now through her I found your channel. I look forward to watching your videos. Take care. 🌼
Zij is zo duidelijk! Haar video’s zijn geweldig! Patronen en kleuren supper , haar video’s waren voor mij helende projecten voor mij in moeilijke tijden. En was trots dat ik mooie dingen als dekens heb gemaakt. Een groot dank je Anja ❤
I now how you feel. I found Anja when I was in a dark time and her videos taught me how to crochet and has changed my life! Im glad you enjoyed the interview!
Yes , Anja and her hubby are amazing . My family is in Devon UK and I found her when she first started her channel. I live in California USA they are genuinely lovely people, down to earth and also outspoken at the same time. Just a treasure to the crochet community and drama free. 🧶❤️Christy
When you interview your mentor and are a huge fan it can be very hard, but as always Anja made this interview a comfortable conversation.

Don't have time to listen to all but will finish listening later

Thank you so much. I am from Alabama so I probably sound more southern than I realize. Anja is always so kind and helpful.
Teresa, thank you for the wonderful interview with Anja. Watching your interview and also Anja's Ophelia Live is like visiting with friends. Good job.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it. It is a fun friendship created out of yarn! I hope to see you in some of her Lives soon!

You are a great interviewee. The lookbooks are such a wonderful aspect of your channel!
I’m in a crochet group at the community center and I refer to Anya as “Ophelia “. This way they remember the name of the RUclips channel.🧶
I love that Ruth. Your name is one of my favorites. I think Ophelia will be what I always call her.,.😂

Thank you so much Janet. It must have been such a special treat to meet her in person. Someday soon I hope to do the same.
@@Teresafromtheyarnshop yes, Teresa, so special. (I was also struck by how tall she is. Lol but then again I'm only 5' 3 1/2 " 😉)
