Hi again, Susan. Smile. Tonight I needed to hear you say that back to me. Never give up hope. We’re all hanging on together! Thanks for your reminder. - Liz
Thank you for your episode of HOPE 💕. Our state is one of the hot spots for the virus so Hope is definitely what we hold dear to our hearts. I also like the approach of being gentle to our love ones during this time and a reminder to maintain a gentle approach. I appreciate you. ❤️💗❤️.
Hello, dear JAB. Well, if your state is a hotspot, please stay well! Thanks for watching and thanks for your helpful feedback. Yes, most people have no regrets for the times they were gentle. May you have a refreshing and hope-filled day as you stay safe. - Liz
Hi, Penny! As you can see, you’d fit right in with this darling group of knitting friends! Thanks for watching, for your sweet comments. Stay healthy and safe, dear little friend. - Liz
Hi Margaret. Hope your day is filled with BLUE skies today! Just want to let you know that you are the winner of the yarn giveaway from the Hope Episode. Congratulations! Please message me on either Ravelry.com or Instagram to let me know where to send your 2 skeins of the Hope colorway yarn. - Liz
What a beautiful ending to the tornado story. I will admit that at the end of the video when you said to hold on to hope, I visualized someone being thrown around by the wind, holding on to whatever one can. A knitter might resemble a kite in such a circumstance! Beautiful yarn, and thank you for the optimistic attitude.
Making socks is my absolute favorite! I learned how to make them when I was a poor college student and needed an inexpensive project that would take me a long time to make. The best part of the socks was that when I finished one I still had another one to make so I didn't have to go spend more money on yarn! A good pattern makes all the difference (I'm sure your pattern is perfection). Thankfully the pattern I learned with 16 years ago was an easy one so I wasn't too intimidated. I love turning the heel. Your instructions were so great! I love your videos. Your sweet demeanor shines through and your love for people and knitting is very evident. Thank you for sharing your gifts with the world. I am not surprised in the least that you have an ancestor that survived a tornado, you definitely have perseverance and hope and all kinds of good character traits in your genetics not to mention all the strength you gain from the Lord. Love you Aunt Liz! ~Olivia Joy
Well I love you, too, Olivia Joy! Thanks for your kind comments. I think you’re a survivor, too, one who turns setbacks into stepping stones with the Lord’s help. I’m so proud of you! -Yup. Turning the heel is my favorite part of making a sock. Smile. - Liz
Oh Liz, these episodes are delightful. Thank you for all your efforts to prepare and to present. Also, you are truly winsome. There are not many people that I would describe as such; but, each episode feels as though I am right there with you as you teach and share stories...I feel so welcomed! 🤗
Oh! So glad you found this helpful. I think part of the job of a teacher is to make something as understandable and easy to remember as possible. That’s where my students come in! Their feedback reveals the trouble spots and helps me know how to address them. Sometimes it’s easy to “over-teach” and make something more difficult than it needs to be. That’s something I want to avoid, not by “dumbing-down” material, but by giving essential tips to put it within reach of most knitters. So thanks for your feedback, Michele! - Liz
Hi EMara. Well, you’re a quick study, so I bet you understood it all. Glad the camera angle was right. We had to get a different tripod to make that possible, and we’re glad it does the job. Thanks for joining us and for your ever-encouraging comments! You are dearly appreciated! - Liz
Marty, thank you. No, I don’t have a background in the performing arts. Well, I’ve played drums a lot in public, but that’s very different than this. Your question was an encouragement, because it feels like I’m blundering my way through. Your kind comment tells me that you’re the kind of person who looks for the GOOD in others! And how we need people like you, especially at a time like this! Have a beautiful day! - Liz
Wonderful story about your grandpa. Never give up hope. Never give up. You make turning a heel look so easy. Thank you.

Turning a heel is very helpful, thank you

You did such a good job of showing how to do the heel and the camera was so we could see what you were doing. Very good Teach. Thanks so much.

You are an angel. I mean that! I think you have been sent by God above. Please don't stop podcasting! ♥️
Leslie, thanks. You’re encouraging and kind. And you’re “one of us” now, so I hope to keep hearing from you! Have a healthy and blessed day! - Liz
Congratulations to the winner. Enjoy your beautiful yarn.
Thanks for your comment, Cindy. What kind of yarn do you prefer to work with? - Liz
I am so not fussy when it comes to beautiful yarn, but I normally work with #3 or #4 worsted weight yarns. Have a great new week ahead.
Very pretty yarn and I hope I win-lol. Do you have a background in the performing arts? You seem so natural.
Marty, thank you. No, I don’t have a background in the performing arts. Well, I’ve played drums a lot in public, but that’s very different than this.
