    We loved Wild Robot and are big fans of the series, my son just turned 10 and it came out on his birthday, it was a great present. It was gorgeous and well done and made me cry too, best kids movie we’ve seen in a while!

    Thanks for another lovely podcast Sherrie. Love all the socks . It's getting me in mind of some more cast ones I need to do. The Hipster hat is one I've been meaning to cast on. I always leave hats too late in the season to get any benefit out of them. Currently nearly finished the Mussleburgh hat by Ysolda Teague which I started last year. Genius pattern but it's taken me ages. You probably bought the 3 skeins of green yarn for the Oslo hat by Petite Knit I know that recommends 150g which seems a lot. Looking forward to seeing the Halloween knits. Take care & happy knitting. X

      Hey Tracy👋🏼 Ohhh I so want to knit a Mussleburgh hat! I think I am the last knitter to knit one 🤭 Oh yes - do you know what, I think you might be right! However I did attempt the Oslo hat with a different yarn and I frogged it because I struggled with the construction of it!💖

      @tracycharalambous5223 25 дней назад

      @@OllieandBella yeah I've looked at the Oslo too but opted for the Mussleburgh instead as you can get it out of one skein of yarn. It's a genius pattern where you can start & measure your gauge as you go then decide which size you want to make. You can also use 2 colours for a reversible hat & wear it with a fold up brim for extra warmth or as a beanie or slouchy beanie depending on the length. I've just about finished mine today & it'll be ready for blocking in a day or so. As a thank you for all your podcasts I'd like to purchase the pattern for you & add it to your ravelry. Just working out how to do that. If I fail I'll be in touch & I'll but you a patterns worth in your KoFi . I'll have a crack at that tonight.

Also, the Appeldore yarn is the same yarn that (not sure if you know) Kate at the Last Homely House (on youtube) knitted herself a cardigan from the same yarn and colorway. P.S.
