It always makes me happy to see a new podcast uploaded by two of my favorite podcasters. Congratulations to both of you on your soon-to-be grandma status! Have you decided what you’ll call yourselves to the little bundles of blessing!
Lovely to see you both. Such amazing projects that are very beautiful 🤩! Good luck with your dental work Deborah, I sympathise as I seem to spend a lot of time with the dentist . Wishing you and your families a blessed and happy Christmas 🎄 ❤, Bridget R
Yay!!! The girls are back. So nice to see you both. Emily, I'm glad you are taking care of yourself. Congratulations to both future grandma's. 🎉🎉 Now you can break open the box of baby knits you girls have made. Many blessings to you both. 🌲❤🌲
Congratulations on the grandchildren news! Knit all the things for them. I’ve spent spring till fall knitting for my first grand baby! Enjoy the bundles of joy!Wishing you and your family an amazing and memorable Christmas and an awesome and blessed 2023! Thanks for sharing! ❤️❤️
G’day 🇦🇺 Firstly congratulations both for your expectant ‘grandmotherhood’ 🍀🍀 Especially loved your alpaca shawl Emily & your notebook gift Deborah is so beautiful 🍒⭐️🎄🍒⭐️🎄
Congratulations on becoming grandmas soon. Such a blessing. Loved all the projects and WIPs. Emily, thank you for sharing that very touching story about one lady’s generosity. It brought me to tears. Happy New Year. -lajoyagirl
Thank you for being you, I loved all the projects and that inspiring story about the kind woman who helped the family. wow, we need more people like that in the world.
Congratulations to you both! Being Grandma is the BEST! Emily, I made the Eye-blink shawl, too. I made it in your yarn, "The Opera Singer's Daughter." I was running out towards the edge and I found a mini skein from your first Advent Calendar set that made it even more beautiful. I knit a pair of socks that was self striping from WYS and the striping turned out wonderful and in no way weird with a heel flap and gusset. I was so surprised with the first one, thought it was a fluke, but the second sock turned out the same. Good to see you both together. I have been enjoying Deborah's channel too. Have a very Merry and blessed Christmas and hope to see you in the New Year! P.S. Deborah, I have wound up your sock set, "Cookies for Santa" as my Christmas Eve cast-on.
Thank you for sharing the story of the caring and generous woman who helped the young couple out…….yes, we need more kindness in the world today. Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year to you and you families!
So wonderful to see you both together again. Emily, the story you told brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for sharing it! Merry Christmas to you both! 🎄
So glad you're back! I've recently started knitting my first ever socks and your learn to knit socks playlist has been so helpful to me. Thank you so much and have a nice Christmas!!
Love your podcast and I did check out the other podcast and subscribe to it. What I wanted to tell you that a few days ago I met 3 charming young men for your state and yes Mormons. Very clean cut and so very nice. I had invited them in since it was raining but was turned down. I live by myself so they told me that they couldn't but continue to talk to me. 9nce again 3 very nice young men and it was my pleasure to have met them
So great to see you. Merry Christmas to you and your families. Love all the knitting you showed us. Emily totally related to you re Stephen Wests knits. I have started the KAL, not completed but certainly will. I have learn’t so much from him and definitely adventurous. I loved your snowflake, think I may look at knitting that when the twists and turns has been finished. They are fabulous shawls. So exciting for you both with your news, it will be fun knitting for the little newcomers. All the best, love watching you both and will follow Deborah’s RUclips as well. I loved the red, white, blue socks you both knitted for the star sock and wondered if you would ever make up a kit of various reds/ pinks, white and blues. I will keep a look out. Have the pattern waiting. Bye for now, merry Christmas, take care. Hugs.💕💖🌸
Do y'all respond to comments? I have questions about the homeschooling. If it because you don't like the local public schools? How do you know if your child is on target? I am a teacher at a Catholic school and whenever I get a homeschooled student it isn't good. I see certain trends and I'm wondering if it just those particular parents or is it the homeschool programs or---what is it? I do think that homeschool is a viable option for people whose local public school system is particularly bad. And you girls got me back to my knitting. Thank you for that!
"Successful" homeschoolers are not typically being put into public or private schools. Usually a homeschooler moves to a more traditional school because homeschooling is not working for them. So it makes sense that as a teacher you would mostly see kids who are behind - if homeschool had worked for them they'd still be homeschooling! 😉 Here in Utah the public schools are very overcrowded and kids who are ahead or behind just can't get the individual attention they need, not saying that's Deborah and Emily's reason but it's often a factor. To check if they're on target we can opt to take standardized testing or review the state core requirements online. But usually you know if they're at grade level anyway because you're buying the curriculum and going through it with them. There definitely are some programs that aren't great though, it's really up to the parent to make sure a program meets the core standards.
@@MsFitz134 Yes, I do think it could be very successful, especially if you have other cooperative families with parents who have a variety of specialties and skills. What has frightened me is the students whose parents bring them to our school after having been homeschooled for a couple of years and---Yikes! Granted we are a Catholic school so our standards are probably a bit higher than your average public school these days, but still... Typically, I find that the students can read in subjects areas in which they have a personal interest. They can generally pass a multiple choice test, but they can not write, analyze, or infer. Anyway, thank you for your input. I think this topic is becoming more and more important in or society.
@@melissasw64 you make a good point about the Catholic school having higher standards. That's probably true, I hadn't thought of that. Plus you likely have smaller class sizes so kids don't fall through the cracks as easily. You've got some lucky students!
@@emilyclawson3416 She did it all the time. Say the pattern called for stockinette. She would always slip the first stitch and then go on as normal. She said it made the sides look nicer. IDK I just never heard it from anyone else. Thanks for the inspiration.
I only slip edge stitches when called for in the pattern. It’s not my usual practice. But there are times, like while knitting a heel flap for a sock, that I know slipped edge stitches will make for tidier picked up stitches later on. I account for that in some of my patterns like Frances Socks.

@@MsFitz134 The best part is that we can share the message of God and His grace with all of our students.❤
Oh and do you slip your first stitches?
Which project are you referring to?
@@emilyclawson3416 She did it all the time. Say the pattern called for stockinette. She would always slip the first stitch and then go on as normal. She said it made the sides look nicer.

GOOSEBUMPS from your story, Emily. 🥹♥️
Only the love of the Holy Spirit will prompt someone to be so kind.
I agree! ❤
