    Whoever thought that we would enjoy watching someone talk into a camera about her knitting? You are right that it is like having friends listening to us but with no interruptions.🤣🤣I am helping my sister with my nephews back yard wedding at their house this weekend. Lots of work. We are doing some of the food too. Always a joy to watch you.

    Always fun Nancy, great listening to you, you are a fun lady. Happy wedding day, it’ll be a lot of work, so many emotions on the day, and exhaustion after. Belated happy anniversary to you both. Thanks for all the knitting info, tips and tricks that you share. 🥰

    “A little tipsy and no notes” seems like the perfect formula for a knitting chat! Love all the socks. Here in the California Gold Country we have had 15 days of temperatures over 100 degrees F! No energy for me! I just spend the day knitting, reading, and snacking. Today is slightly cooler but the thought of knitting on anything other than socks is unbearable. I love the “potential nex design” for socks that you are working on looks fabulous. Can’t wait for it come to fruition. Take the time to enjoy Samatha’s wedding! We’ll wait for you - and hear all about it when you have the time and inclination. Take care. Enjoy the festivites with family and friends! Until next time. Salam wa sa’aadah

      LOL!!! I was a little worried when I started editing that it might have been a mistake to record, but luckily it was OK 😆😆
      That is crazy hot with no relief! We had some very humid weather which is also unpleasant, but it only lasted about 10 days. The wedding was slap bang in the middle of the steamy days, bit it was beautiful and Sam was happy, so my Mum heart was relieved and thrilled.
      I'm hoping to record this weekend, so I will see you soon. Thank you Linda 💕

    Hi Nancy: Thank so much for sneaking in another awesome podcast before the event of the year happens, Nancy!
    Wishing your daughter and her very soon to be hubby all the best for a lifetime of blissful joy and happiness! Don’t worry Nancy, everything will go smooth, awesome, and lovely at the wedding! You are a great planner and manages everything seamlessly and flawlessly! Can’t wait to see all the super fabulous pictures!
    Thank you for the Halifax pictures! I wish I can see some of the places you show on your podcast in person, but it is very expensive to do so. I love Canada more than the Big Apple. I don’t know what is about Canada, but I would love to relocate to Canada! Happy knitting, have a blast at the wedding, and enjoy the rest of summer! ❤❤

    SKYP stitch. In my Mon Tricot knitting dictionary, this is called the"moire stitch". I have used it a lot. The psso is passed over both the knit stitch and the YO, thus keeping the same number of stitches.

    I love how you knit your Coastal Hint of Summer in the A line. I did it as you suggested to me in a previous podcast and it looks much better than a straight line. I love all of your yarn choices. Your socks are really WOW! I am still struggling with that as I often pick yarn, that once knit up, doesn't look the way I envisioned. Oh well, a great excuse to keep on knitting and trying new things. Your spinning is great. I have to spin faster as I have so much fleece to get through. You can always make rolags from your batts if you wish to keep the fleece. Just a suggestion. Enjoy the rest of your summer and congratulations on your daughter's wedding!

    Nancy, I just bought 4 of your sock patterns, including Smoke and Swiss Dots. I really like your patterns! I am sad to admit that I am still finishing up the pair of Tittygaga socks that I've been working on for months(?), but my knitting time is severely limited due to tendonitis in my thumb.

    A lovely sit and knit with Nancy time. I learn something new every episode. I am loving the button trick for knitting from both ends of a skein- game changer. I think I will make the Lotus Lake Tee. I made the socks and loved the lace and I want to learn the modified drop shoulder technique, as drop shoulder designs are common, but not the best look on me. I am experimenting with moving some back stitches to the front and really loving the fit improvement. Thanks for all the great tips you so generously share. Have the best of times, despite the craziness that comes along, with your daughter’s wedding. Being the mother of the bride is the best role ever. I am finishing up the Turtle Dove Cardi for my eldest daughter’s 50th next month. Then a summer knit for me- maybe the Agave or the Joni in summer yarn. And of course socks, with Nancy’s rounded toe. 🤗🧶💕

    You weren't blabbing on for no reason. I enjoy listening to you. It's like sitting, having a coffee with a friend. Are you doing all the food for the wedding? I just let my son and lovely daughter-in-law do their own thing for their wedding and it was lovely. They were both very organized and it was lovely. I was in a bit of a fashion/dress shopping funk unfortunately as I had gained a lot of weight (and mostly because my mom had passed away about a year before and would miss it all. Something she desperately wanted to see), and left dress shopping for the last minute (literally 2 weeks before the wedding). There really wasn't anything I liked that suited my autumn colouring at all since the wedding was August first. I did manage to find a lovely deep purple slip dress with a matching beaded kimono style jacket for an exorbitant amount of money, so I sucked it up and bought it since it was my own fault I hadn't found anything. It was too big in the shoulders, so my lovely friend took it in for me, and I felt quite beautiful for the wedding. It was really foolish of me that it didn't occur to me that I could have sewn up something gorgeous. I can sew beautifully, but hadn't for a few years. I hope everything goes well for your son's wedding.
