If we stop loving snow we have lost the child in us. I never want to be that old! Dear Lord,let me enjoy what you have made. I enjoy the winter season best
Snow days are the best!!! Sending hellos from snowy Canada. We have 35cm of snow coming by tomorrow for us❄ Lovely to see the fur and feather babies 😀 I think the lines are perhaps movement and under current of water. Thank you for taking us on your walk Kate 😇 and hello to Anna. Taking a moment to enjoy the simple things prove to be the most joyful.
So fun to see you enjoying the snow. No everyone does, though I love it when it snows!! I'm 76 and retired, so I can enjoy it from the warmth of home.❤
Oooh, I made these mitered squares years ago. I have some leftover sock yarn bits and some hand spun yarns in a similar weight. Most of its varying shades of white. Guess it's dye pot fun time again. I have plenty of food coloring and vinegar and it doesn't need to be light fast or wash fast. So since it will not matter if the colors fade and get muted over time, food dye is quite alright to use. I just need an extra small blanket for a shoulder wrap. I really like the shades when you deliberately break the black dye and a color way I call tequila sunshine. Make a light yellow orange dye bath the color of orange juice. Start dyeing the yarn once the yarn has taken up enough dye to color the yarn but still plenty left, drop in red dye here and there randomly Not too much but just enough to variegate the yarn. It gives a nicely orange/red variegated yarn that just pops. You could do the same thing with acid dye. There are a few color ways I dye that way. I have a lot of white sock weight yarn I bought and knit up a lot of white socks. However, in a wool sock, I much prefer a thicker sock. I like Lion brand Fisherman's wool and knit up thick winter socks for my winter boots. They hold up well to washing and when they get worn out and felted a bit, I recycle them into hand warmers by cutting off the toe and making a thumbhole. So I skeins and skeins of white sock yarn left. I will hit the bargain bins at the local yarn store for odd skeins of sock weight yarns. Since it's modular, if a yarn isn't quite the same gauge it is easy enough to fudge it and as long as the end result works, a few stitches more or less or rows It will only matter to get the same gauge on the beginning edge squares. The rest can be adjusted on the fly. I believe that is what I did before.
The snow looks so beautiful and there is nothing better than wrapping up warm and snuggly and walking in crispy crunchy snow, well maybe with a nice mug of hot chocolate too. Loved your snow Angel, do you know I’ve never ever made one of those, even though I’m in my 70’s next time we get snow deep enough I’m going to do that, God willing. Lovely video Kate, stay warm x
Winter is my favorite time of year. Due to he weather changes, it is not as cold and a lot less snow if any. I am in Pennsylvania, USA.at the Great Lake. Just listening to you walk through the snow and hearing the crunch brings happiness to me.. thank you
Those lines you see are pressure cracks. If the ice gets thicker you will see the ice raise up there. It has to do with ice expanding. Very common in colder climes. Sometimes you can hear them expand.
I used to call it, "the ice is talking" when we lived on Lake Cocolalla in Idaho. I used to leave the bedroom window open a tiny crack at night so I could hear it...
I so enjoy your videos. Whenever I feel down, lonely, or just need to unwind, all I have to do is watch any one of your videos and calls right with the world again. Love you, kate and all your kitties and Eileen. Stay safe and well.
November 25 2022: Anna is such a very beautiful daughter joining in on your walks and sharing such a beautiful scenery of the snow. Yes, I enjoined the “walk” with both of you.
Thank you for talking about the Spoon Flower company. I looked at their website and have fallen in love with their designs. Ordered fabric to make two sofa pillows. Love your shows.
Such a beautiful walk. We, here in the Pacific Northwest of Washington state USA, are also enjoying snow for Valentine's Day. 13" of snow is pretty rare for us. The music you chose for video is so appropriate for the footage. Life is sweet when you let it be. Thank you, Kate, for being a part of that sweetness.
@Tina Tipping, I'm on the Olympic Peninsula at sea level. We have 11 inches and it just keeps coming down. Crazy. More snow than we've had in ages. Stay safe, stay warm. Cheers
@@juliemix3373 , safe and warm here. We live in the Puget Sound area. The snow is turning to a misty kind of rain this evening, so things are melting at 28*. Cheers back to you, neighbor on the Lime Green sofa.
We live on a lake and the water still moves under the ice. The ice heaves and pushes together, creating cracks and water comes through those cracks. By now the ice on our lake has grown to about 18-20” in thickness. It’s amazing when it’s in the first stages of freezing. At times it sounds as though a jet is taking off. The movement and cracking do some astonishing things. Lovely snow day you’re having!
Hi Kate, Thank you for sharing such a beautiful video. I’ve never seen snow in my 65 years and living in subtropical Brisbane I probably won’t see it here, although we’re having a colder than usual winter here (2022), you never know. I love receiving your RUclips videos. Some gentleness and calm in a topsy turvey world. Many thanks, Jen🙏🏻 💐
I'm currently sitting on the lime green sofa, but hand quilting a miniature "simple whatnot quilt" designed by Lady named Kim Diehl. But, I'm enjoying seeing this type of knitting, I have bits of thread for sure.
Dear Kate, I've come full circle now. This was the first video I saw of yours and I've been hooked ever since. Any woman our age who still has the joy and whimsy of life in her to lay down in the snow to make a snowangel is the kind of person I'd liked to know! So I went back to the beginning of it all and today I watched you make a snowangel again! So many things I saw in past videos I loved and thought about leaving comments but didn't know if you got new comments on past videos much less have time to read them if you did. But at any rate, I've enjoyed them all and I've had a wonderful time visiting The Last Homely House. Thank you for inviting a kindred spirit from the Blue Ridge Mountains of southwestern Virginia and her three cats in! I wish you every continuing suceess and am looking forward to future visits! Thank you for all the time and effort you have spent bringing pleasure to my world!!!😺
How I love hearing the crunch of snow! It’s been too cold out for me to crunch, and it’s not fresh. But it so reminds me walking through sand to get to a beach; a familiar sound growing up. I do have to say, I purchased a scarf at a charity shop that used the same knitting method. I thought it was complicated, but an avid knitter told me it was easy; she never explained. Your video did-thank you!
I am an avid sewer and I always have a sewing project going with a few lined up after. I learned to knit briefly when I was a teen. Seeing all the lovely things you’ve made is making me want to learn again! Lovely video thank you Kate!
I was curious about those lines, too so I Googled and I think it's something called finger 'rafting.' The article I read said, "Finger rafting occurs when thin ice sheets floating on water collide and push over and under each other alternately, creating what scientists describe as “fingers”." Lovely walk, I enjoyed it. Also really loved the music. Thank you, Kate.
Hello Kate We are also having several snow days in a row and single digit temps. I am from a place called Bixby Missouri, in the Ozarks. I have been watching for a while now and completely enjoy each video. Thank you for sharing. I would miss you terribly if you were not here. You are such an inspiration. Thank you for being you.
🥰💕Lovely blanket. Mine is called my cozy Memory blanket. Using up all my scraps & all the yarn that I have been gifted. So I remember all the people & places I crocheted my blankets. I loooooved your snow angel I was thrilled when you just plopped in the snow & just went for it. You keep me smiling Kate! 🥰💕💃🏻❄️
I do what my grandmother did with her tiny bits, cut them up into 6 - 8 inch pieces and lightly snag them on the tree bark in the nearby trees or the branches of our winter bare bushes. Come spring you’ll see brightly colored bits in the birds nests in the area! Neighbors remark on the quirky nests and wonder how that happens. I’ll never tell. But nice to know it brightens the birds and the neighbors days.
The landscape is so very monochrome... so very tones of black-and-white and grey, excepting the splashes of red and yellow of your hat and gloves. You are so lovely.
A woman after my heart i love Snow I think it makes the world so peaceful. People think I'm crazy when I don the boots hat gloves and coat and go for a walk. But that is where I feel best .Apart from my crafting.
What a coincidence! I started a mitred blanket following The Knitting Squirrel’s blog instructions yesterday evening. Her finished blanket is beautiful. I shall enjoy knitting along with you Kate.
Thank you Kate. I have been a bit down having to isolate with my husband.....he’s one of the vulnerable ones, although we have had our jabs. But I found your video by chance. What a lovely idea, I’ve got so fed up with faces talking straight at me, but you made me feel I was visiting over a cup of tea, and a chat. I’ve really missed doing just that with all my usual friends, we’ve all been extra careful, as we are all in our 70s and 80s. Then there was the added pleasure of getting outside and seeing the countryside! I’m really looking forward to your video about quilts, as I’m an addict. I love quilting, although because of lockdown, I’ve discovered crocheted Afghan rugs too. I’m now going to catch up on all your other videos, thank you again.
I would have done exactly that! I feel a snow angel coming on!😂How beautiful! I always wish for snow here, but it's been a few years since we have had any sufficient for a snow angel or a snow man!☺You are so lucky!🤗
We are having lots of rainy cold weather in SE Tennessee. To fill time while knitting I'm watching old LHH videos. On one you made a 70's dessert with ginger biscuits and flavored cream. My sweet grandmother made the same with thin chocolate cookies. She'd make individual ones standing up. So good and great memories. Thank you
Good morning from down under, its 8am here slow morning no school today so just had my porridge in respect for your snowing morning, usually have fruit first thing here in summer it a cool 15 degrees Celsius out side we have had a rather cool summer only a couple of days over 40. For someone who has only experienced snow melting as it hits the ground I appreciate your snow walks and angel, thank you Kate. More fruit cutting for drying, cut figs before breakfast now some pears and apples, this year we have an abundance and because of a fruit fly outbreak in our area we are unable to give any away so drying it all for use later in the year, apricots, necterines, peaches and prunes all finished now so onto the next lot.💞
What a surprise to finally find someone who loves SNOW as much as I do! I wish I could brave the subzero temps and go for a walk, but so enjoyed yours. Your spot is beautiful. You are a treat for my senses and thank you for sharing your time.❤️ God bless
We knitted what we called a "buddy blanket" in our knitting guild. Each member added squares using up their scrap worsted weight yarn and passed it on to the next member. When the blanket got to a certain size, we crocheted a border all around, and then,donated them to charity.
Beautiful Kate , I love your videos they are so interesting what ever you do you make it so homely. I have only been watching it a few weeks but I am obsessed I can't stop watching I am so glad it just come up on RUclips. Thank you Kate for making this lockdown so interesting I am learning so much. Another friend Gerri Sweet from Nottingham UK sitting on the welcome couch. Xxx
Thank you for taking us with you. Thank you for calm enjoyment of beauty everywhere. Snow is deeper here than cats are tall, so kits cant go out to play, and its too cold, too windy for their little ears. Neighbor's horses have open barn but prefer to romp about with manes flowing, looking like shampoo commericals. Lime green is a good color for a couch. I'll bring my quilting and some brownies to share.
I am so thrilled I just happened upon your channel as I was sitting here, all comfy and cozy, in our home in Alaska, knitting 🧶 a pair of baby socks for a great nephew that will be making his entrance into the world mid April. Thank you for sharing your home and the beautiful walk around the lake. I may have to see about making a snow angle myself! We certainly have enough snow ❄️
I love snow and ice. This video is safely stored in my watch later list, ready for watching in the summer. The beautiful piano music completed the atmosphere. This will be a favourite for a long time.,.well worth leaving the lime green sofa for . Good to see you working on snow angel creation, Agnes will need you to be an accomplished angel maker by next year 😋. Nikki of knitting squirrel fame is a lovely lady. Her sister Pip was a colleague of mine, working in the classroom next to mesuch a special family. I have a couple of special little items made by Nikki years ago. They are beautifully designed and knitted up. Looking forward to Tuesday and the along you have planned.
I totally agree with you on the knitting. I always pick easy garter stitch patterns. It's more meditative than having to think. I could do complicated things...but just like to keep hands busy. I'm glad to hear you say this also.
I admire your ability to make a snow angel and then get up. I'm older than you, but for a long time now I've not been able to get up once I go down. It is bitterly cold here in Missouri USA. The weather man said today that we may get to -30F tonight. Dangerous weather here. I hope everyone is home & safe.
Hi Kate, I discovered you whilst watching Arne & Carlos last year . So I thought that whilst I was making a crochet blanket for one of my grand daughters after Christmas I would pop you on RUclips and have a look !! Well I’m still here and started back at your first video three years ago and today I am up to date.. I have 140 4x4 inch squares to crochet and am now at no. 98. Love your videos, I am not a sewing person sadly, I don’t have a sewing machine but am tempted by your English paper piecing hexagons, who knows in time.....!!!. So thank you Kate Norma Prudence Sadie Rita and of course Eileen and the rest of your family for being my support and company for the last six weeks and more to come....stay safe and best wishes to all. Mary, Tipperary, Midwest Ireland, and yes it is a long way as you said on New Years Eve......I was watching.☘️
One is never too old to make a snow angel. Isn't it gorgeous to see geothermal at work. How the inner warmth and the outside temperatures make things crack and move. Just like our own tectonic plates we live on move. Love the snow, what worries me is the difference in temperatures, from minus 20 to plus 18 degrees Celsius in one week here. But my snowdrops survived the pressure of all the snow! That's a plus, Kate.
We get minimal snow on the coast here in Astoria, Oregon. I miss the joy of falling snow that builds up overnight. The squeaky sound of boots on the fresh snow brought back childhood memories. Thank you for sharing that. Coincidentally, I was thinking "she should make a snow angel" and then you said it!! And then you did it!!!
I love that you love to walk in the snow like I do. I love to clear the walks, build a snowman and make snow angels. Most people I know say I'm nuts and hate winter. I think it's beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
Kate, I haven’t checked in for a couple of months.....for no particular reason. But I want to tell you how much I appreciated your daily videos during the beginning of the COVID pandemic. It was a frightening time and your calm, loving demeanor helped me get through it. I can’t begin to tell you how much that means to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 😘❤️❤️❤️🙏
We in Canadian got a couple of weeks mins. 21c and _17c day. But the wind that's what you can't get out of. Thanks for the good winter pictures. Me as a srn. Being staying in. Thanks for your weekly visit. Stay Healthy Anita
I so enjoy my visits with you while I knit. I feel like we are friends. . . . My ancestors migrated south into Northumberland from Scotland in the early 1500's. Who knows, we may be distant cousins! And here I am in South Carolina, quite a few years your senior! So that was a spectacular Snow Angel! LOL. . . . . The family that migrated moved on to America in the 1600's and one went on to become a close friend of George Washington and later the first Senator of Virginia. In those days, they were appointed, not elected. George appointed his friend and confidant, Thomas Grayson. I love to see pictures of Northumberland and imagine how it might have looked 500 years ago. Thank you for the views and the company.
Hello, Kate. Nature is so beautiful. West coast of Scotland only got a wee bit of snow, but my daughter over on East coast, and up north, got heavy snow. I love making these memory blankets with my sock scraps. I use circular needles. I have made a double bed size, and four small lap blankets. I gave away the small ones to family. That shows you how many pairs of socks I have made! I am addicted. Myself and daughters have small feet so always loads of wool left. And husband has smallish feet as well, ha ha 😀 🏴🌈
Thank you Kate, for sharing your days. Walking and talking and crafting especially in these Covid times when lots of us are unable to get out. I look forward to your postings.....they remind me of good times, I do actually feel as though you live, “ Just down the road and I’ve popped in for a chat and a cup of tea”.
I am halfway across the world in Washington State, USA and we too are having a snow day, over a foot, which is rare for us. I'm knitting Arne and Carlo's Christmas balls and watching the perplexed hummingbirds at the frozen feeder. It must be like a popsicle for them as they keep at it. In my head, I'm planning my garden and later I'm going to work on my latest quilt. I'm feeling as if I have a kindred spirit in you, Kate.
You warm my heart!! Love all the fun things you get up to. I can see us all sitting along the sofa all knitting mitered squares, with a huge basket of yarn to choose from. God bless you dear kindred spirit, be safe, stay warm, stay well. Much love!!
Beautiful! I love the place where all of those birds live, in winter its quiet and I love the piney tree path. Loved the snow angel. Of course, Kate, the thing that made all of those open cracks in the ice was the Loch Ness Monster and his family! Gotta get up early to see that happen.
You’re very interested in all things around you. You appreciate your world. I am going to try this new attitude. Thank you for sharing yourself with us. 💕
Another wonderful video. I live in Kansas, USA, and we also have snow with minus temps and some wind. The music with this video was so relaxing and soothing which I love; it did not send me to the moon as some music does in videos!! LOL. I find the lines in the top of the lake interesting as well; like you, I assume it has something to do with the temps and the various depths of the water, Mother Nature is a wonder unto her self. Thank you so much for doing your videos; they are always a bright spot in my life, especially with all of the Covid restraints and living alone. Enjoy your Valentine’s Day and happy knitting............
I sorted out all my wool ends a couple of weeks ago and am now knitting Frankenstein socks, who cares what they look like under trousers and I made it super easy for myself by doing an after thought heel. Half way through my third pair with the fourth in my sights. Gather those fragments!
If we stop loving snow we have lost the child in us. I never want to be that old! Dear Lord,let me enjoy what you have made. I enjoy the winter season best
I love that
I would like to disagree, that is a fabulous snow angel!
Snow days are the best!!! Sending hellos from snowy Canada.

This really is your little piece of paradise isn't it Kate?? No matter the season, it's just so beautiful.
Each time I watch one of your videos, I feel compelled to pick up my knitting or stitching. I love listening to your voice.
I love making snow angels as a child. 👼
So fun to see you enjoying the snow. No everyone does, though I love it when it snows!! I'm 76 and retired, so I can enjoy it from the warmth of home.❤

Winter is my favorite time of year. Due to he weather changes, it is not as cold and a lot less snow if any. I am in Pennsylvania, USA.at the Great Lake. Just listening to you walk through the snow and hearing the crunch brings happiness to me.. thank you
Those lines you see are pressure cracks. If the ice gets thicker you will see the ice raise up there. It has to do with ice expanding. Very common in colder climes. Sometimes you can hear them expand.
I was hoping someone would comment.
Where are you Freda Farley. I am a Farley in Canada
In my area, we called them "stress cracks", and when they happen, if you are skating, they scare the heck out of you!
Thank you for satisfying this curious mind.
I used to call it, "the ice is talking" when we lived on Lake Cocolalla in Idaho. I used to leave the bedroom window open a tiny crack at night so I could hear it...
Love a bit of domino squares! What larks!
Loved it all but especially the ice and water at 6:45. We should all enjoy life enough to make a snow angel ❤️ Thank you Kate.
I love how you surround yourself with what makes you happy and joyful x thank you xx
I so enjoy your videos. Whenever I feel down, lonely, or just need to unwind, all I have to do is watch any one of your videos and calls right with the world again. Love you, kate and all your kitties and Eileen. Stay safe and well.
When I am feeling lonely and want to hear a chatting voice, I turn on Kate's videos and feel like I have a friend here with me.
November 25 2022: Anna is such a very beautiful daughter joining in on your walks and sharing such a beautiful scenery of the snow. Yes, I enjoined the “walk” with both of you.
By the way, love the snow angel...if I tried it they'd find my frozen body in a few weeks because I can't get up without help anymore!!
Same!
Me too!
I'm sorry, I know it's not funny, but it made me chuckle... I'm so bad.

Yes, we had very squeaky snow last week! xxx

First time that I see you and you are SO pleasant to listen to and to look at, I feel at home, thank you very much, you're an awesome LADY!
I love to hear the snow creaking under your feet! One of my favorite things after a snow.
And thank you Anna for doing the filming! You are both treasures!
I really enjoy your walkabouts Kate. Beautiful, peaceful and mesmerising vistas. Thank you so much. 🦘💚
Yes! Snow angel! What fun ❤
It was a perfect Snow Angel. It made you happy and it made us happy. Can’t think of anything more perfect than that.
Beautiful! Nothing like a lovely walk in the snow
Yes, snow, we always seem to see it through our childhood eyes, we pay bills, keep ourselves fed and watered, but snow.♥️
I was curious about those lines, too so I Googled and I think it's something called finger 'rafting.'

Thank you Laura, for googling this information
You are never too old to make snow angels.
Loved it! I've never made a snow angel in my life...but I am only 61, so there is still some time left...^^

What a lovely idea, I’ve got so fed up with faces talking straight at me, but you made me feel I was visiting over a cup of tea, and a chat. I’ve really missed doing just that with all my usual friends, we’ve all been extra careful, as we are all in our 70s and 80s. Then there was the added pleasure of getting outside and seeing the countryside! I’m really looking forward to your video about quilts, as I’m an addict. I love quilting, although because of lockdown, I’ve discovered crocheted Afghan rugs too. I’m now going to catch up on all your other videos, thank you again.
this is all so lovely - thank you - this is why I invented the Sofa - so all you lovely people could meet up virtually and chat xxxx take care xxxx
I would have done exactly that! I feel a snow angel coming on!😂How beautiful! I always wish for snow here, but it's been a few years since we have had any sufficient for a snow angel or a snow man!☺You are so lucky!🤗
We are having lots of rainy cold weather in SE Tennessee. To fill time while knitting I'm watching old LHH videos. On one you made a 70's dessert with ginger biscuits and flavored cream. My sweet grandmother made the same with thin chocolate cookies. She'd make individual ones standing up. So good and great memories. Thank you
Good morning from down under, its 8am here slow morning no school today so just had my porridge in respect for your snowing morning, usually have fruit first thing here in summer it a cool 15 degrees Celsius out side we have had a rather cool summer only a couple of days over 40. For someone who has only experienced snow melting as it hits the ground I appreciate your snow walks and angel, thank you Kate. More fruit cutting for drying, cut figs before breakfast now some pears and apples, this year we have an abundance and because of a fruit fly outbreak in our area we are unable to give any away so drying it all for use later in the year, apricots, necterines, peaches and prunes all finished now so onto the next lot.💞
What a surprise to finally find someone who loves SNOW as much as I do! I wish I could brave the subzero temps and go for a walk, but so enjoyed yours. Your spot is beautiful. You are a treat for my senses and thank you for sharing your time.❤️ God bless
You bring such peace to this unsettled world. Thank you ❣️
Thank you Kate for sharing your snow day with us! I enjoyed the video very much!! ❄️😇💙
Thank you, thank you, thank you...from Florida where I miss snow season every year. And especially, so glad you made a snow angel. You fill my heart!
We knitted what we called a "buddy blanket" in our knitting guild. Each member added squares using up their scrap worsted weight yarn and passed it on to the next member. When the blanket got to a certain size, we crocheted a border all around, and then,donated them to charity.
Beautiful Kate , I love your videos they are so interesting what ever you do you make it so homely. I have only been watching it a few weeks but I am obsessed I can't stop watching I am so glad it just come up on RUclips. Thank you Kate for making this lockdown so interesting I am learning so much.

Great winter walk....my husband really liked the snow angel (me too)! Thanks Kate....
Thank you for taking us with you. Thank you for calm enjoyment of beauty everywhere. Snow is
deeper here than cats are tall, so kits cant go out to play, and its too cold, too windy for their little ears. Neighbor's horses have open barn but prefer to romp about with manes flowing, looking like shampoo commericals. Lime green is a good color for a couch. I'll bring my quilting and some brownies to share.
I am so thrilled I just happened upon your channel as I was sitting here, all comfy and cozy, in our home in Alaska, knitting 🧶 a pair of baby socks for a great nephew that will be making his entrance into the world mid April. Thank you for sharing your home and the beautiful walk around the lake. I may have to see about making a snow angle myself! We certainly have enough snow ❄️
I love snow and ice. This video is safely stored in my watch later list, ready for watching in the summer. The beautiful piano music completed the atmosphere. This will be a favourite for a long time.,.well worth leaving the lime green sofa for . Good to see you working on snow angel creation, Agnes will need you to be an accomplished angel maker by next year 😋.
Nikki of knitting squirrel fame is a lovely lady. Her sister Pip was a colleague of mine, working in the classroom next to mesuch a special family. I have a couple of special little items made by Nikki years ago. They are beautifully designed and knitted up.
Looking forward to Tuesday and the along you have planned.
I totally agree with you on the knitting. I always pick easy garter stitch patterns. It's more meditative than having to think. I could do complicated things...but just like to keep hands busy. I'm glad to hear you say this also.
I love coming to visit ...you bring such joy to me!!! I loved the walkabout...the knitting squares...and the beautiful snow angel. You are so loved.
Oh to live were you live Kate , Thank You for that 🥰xxxx
I admire your ability to make a snow angel and then get up. I'm older than you, but for a long time now I've not been able to get up once I go down. It is bitterly cold here in Missouri USA. The weather man said today that we may get to -30F tonight. Dangerous weather here. I hope everyone is home & safe.
Hi Kate, I discovered you whilst watching Arne & Carlos last year . So I thought that whilst I was making a crochet blanket for one of my grand daughters after Christmas I would pop you on RUclips and have a look !! Well I’m still here and started back at your first video three years ago and today I am up to date.. I have 140 4x4 inch squares to crochet and am now at no. 98. Love your videos, I am not a sewing person sadly, I don’t have a sewing machine but am tempted by your English paper piecing hexagons, who knows in time.....!!!. So thank you Kate Norma Prudence Sadie Rita and of course Eileen and the rest of your family for being my support and company for the last six weeks and more to come....stay safe and best wishes to all. Mary, Tipperary, Midwest Ireland, and yes it is a long way as you said on New Years Eve......I was watching.☘️
Beautiful episode Kate ..... I so look forward to listening to you ......... thank you again x
One is never too old to make a snow angel. Isn't it gorgeous to see geothermal at work. How the inner warmth and the outside temperatures make things crack and move. Just like our own tectonic plates we live on move. Love the snow, what worries me is the difference in temperatures, from minus 20 to plus 18 degrees Celsius in one week here. But my snowdrops survived the pressure of all the snow! That's a plus, Kate.
Love you kate! I feel like we are right there with you!The snow is beautiful....
We get minimal snow on the coast here in Astoria, Oregon. I miss the joy of falling snow that builds up overnight. The squeaky sound of boots on the fresh snow brought back childhood memories. Thank you for sharing that. Coincidentally, I was thinking "she should make a snow angel" and then you said it!! And then you did it!!!
I LOVE ❤️your snow angel, Kate. And I live in Florida so I don’t get to see this kind of day so thank you.
Tallahassee, Florida
I love that you love to walk in the snow like I do. I love to clear the walks, build a snowman and make snow angels. Most people I know say I'm nuts and hate winter. I think it's beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
Kate, I haven’t checked in for a couple of months.....for no particular reason. But I want to tell you how much I appreciated your daily videos during the beginning of the COVID pandemic. It was a frightening time and your calm, loving demeanor helped me get through it. I can’t begin to tell you how much that means to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 😘❤️❤️❤️🙏
Beautiful when I just get to look at it, but don't have to be out in it or drive in it!!! Thanks for the walk in it.
We in Canadian got a couple of weeks mins. 21c and _17c day. But the wind that's what you can't get out of. Thanks for the good winter pictures. Me as a srn. Being staying in. Thanks for your weekly visit. Stay Healthy Anita
Thank you to the folks who wondered about the cracks in the ice and explained them for us.
I so enjoy my visits with you while I knit. I feel like we are friends. . . . My ancestors migrated south into Northumberland from Scotland in the early 1500's. Who knows, we may be distant cousins! And here I am in South Carolina, quite a few years your senior! So that was a spectacular Snow Angel! LOL. . . . . The family that migrated moved on to America in the 1600's and one went on to become a close friend of George Washington and later the first Senator of Virginia. In those days, they were appointed, not elected. George appointed his friend and confidant, Thomas Grayson. I love to see pictures of Northumberland and imagine how it might have looked 500 years ago. Thank you for the views and the company.
I could watch everyday just sitting. You are beautiful, You made me laugh when you made the snow angel.
Snow angles never to old
Love you, Kate. Love the snow and cats and quilting, too!
Hello, Kate. Nature is so beautiful. West coast of Scotland only got a wee bit of snow, but my daughter over on East coast, and up north, got heavy snow. I love making these memory blankets with my sock scraps. I use circular needles. I have made a double bed size, and four small lap blankets. I gave away the small ones to family. That shows you how many pairs of socks I have made! I am addicted. Myself and daughters have small feet so always loads of wool left. And husband has smallish feet as well, ha ha 😀 🏴🌈
Thank you Kate, for sharing your days. Walking and talking and crafting especially in these Covid times when lots of us are unable to get out. I look forward to your postings.....they remind me of good times, I do actually feel as though you live, “ Just down the road and I’ve popped in for a chat and a cup of tea”.
Beautiful tranquil scenery with relaxing music ...thanks Kate 💐
Your new knitting project could be used to time your pancakes! Arne's is 18 stitches. Loved the video and scenes. Thank you.
I am halfway across the world in Washington State, USA and we too are having a snow day, over a foot, which is rare for us. I'm knitting Arne and Carlo's Christmas balls and watching the perplexed hummingbirds at the frozen feeder. It must be like a popsicle for them as they keep at it. In my head, I'm planning my garden and later I'm going to work on my latest quilt. I'm feeling as if I have a kindred spirit in you, Kate.
Thank you for sharing the view of your place. Where you live is beautiful!
A peaceful, lovely walk. I especially loved your snow angel...bravo, Kate! Thank you as always.
You warm my heart!! Love all the fun things you get up to. I can see us all sitting along the sofa all knitting mitered squares, with a huge basket of yarn to choose from. God bless you dear kindred spirit, be safe, stay warm, stay well. Much love!!
Beautiful! I love the place where all of those birds live, in winter its quiet and I love the piney tree path. Loved the snow angel. Of course, Kate, the thing that made all of those open cracks in the ice was the Loch Ness Monster and his family! Gotta get up early to see that happen.
Your snowy walk was so lovely it made me cry. I've lived in Florida the past 30+ years. I miss the seasons❣
You’re very interested in all things around you. You appreciate your world. I am going to try this new attitude. Thank you for sharing yourself with us. 💕
Another wonderful video. I live in Kansas, USA, and we also have snow with minus temps and some wind. The music with this video was so relaxing and soothing which I love; it did not send me to the moon as some music does in videos!! LOL. I find the lines in the top of the lake interesting as well; like you, I assume it has something to do with the temps and the various depths of the water, Mother Nature is a wonder unto her self. Thank you so much for doing your videos; they are always a bright spot in my life, especially with all of the Covid restraints and living alone. Enjoy your Valentine’s Day and happy knitting............
What a beautiful walk in the snow and I loved your snow angel ❄️
Thank you Kate. A beautiful little while of peace. 🌺🌸
😂 love it ! I too like to walk in the snow…. It is so peaceful…
The snow is so beautiful thank you for showing this God bless you
Hello from Montana, USA where I am taking a "snow two weeks". Thank you. Kate, for the lovely walk with music and a snow angel, too!
I sorted out all my wool ends a couple of weeks ago and am now knitting Frankenstein socks, who cares what they look like under trousers and I made it super easy for myself by doing an after thought heel. Half way through my third pair with the fourth in my sights. Gather those fragments!
😂😂i love the Frankenstein socks...
