Hi Lorna - just enjoyed your video with some knitting and a cup of tea. I try not to make too many plans as my sewing and knitting is restricted by my health. I console myself by knowing that I am not consuming too much, and that I am the ultimate in slow crafting 😂. I love seeing your makes and particularly the practical nature of your wardrobe as my lifestyle is very casual. The Wyn dress would be lovely in that fabric. All the best ❤
Hello ☺️ I'm glad you enjoyed it with some knitting and tea, that sounds perfect. Sorry to hear about your health, though I think your perspective is a good one ☺️ I cut out my wyn dress at the weekend and I'm very excited by it! All the best back to you xx
I’ve just come across your video and can’t wait to watch past episodes and check out your designs. We seem to share mutual interests, including a love of Monty (I was lucky to attend his talk in Liverpool recently!). We’ve just acquired some land adjacent to our river with intentions of restoring the land to a healthy pre-overgrazed state, building back hedgerows and planting trees to encourage wildlife. Have fun wassailing your walnut tree 🤎!
Hi Lorna, I adore your podcast. That is my favourite colour too- that greeny mustard. It makes me so happy. And it’s a unique colour. I laughed when you said winter gardening. I live in Canada - near the capital Ottawa- where our gardens are usually covered in a meter of snow from December to April. :)
Haha that made me laugh too! Our winters are quite different. That greeny mustard is such a unique colour, and I know what you mean about it making you happy 😊 glad you're enjoying the podcast!
I think the Wyn dress with the round neck line would be so lovely 💞. I look so forward to your videos, I find them so peaceful and inspiring, thank you🥰
I vote for the Wyn dress V-neck! Love your calendar! I made two bramble skirts, and now I'm working on a three tiered skirt very similar. I use the Hinterland pocket pattern because it's so big, I love those pockets. Have a great cozy winter.
Thank you Patti! That's so lovely to hear about the Bramble skirts you've made! The three tiered skirt sounds fun too. I'm working on my wyn dress again this morning, nearly there now! I think the v neck looks good ☺️
Hi Lorna a lovely video as usual. So looking forward to hearing the briar shawl kits are ready to buy. It’s beautiful. I’m just getting started on my mitts. They will look great together. I think a wynn v neck would be lovely. And you know how much I love that quilt!
Your cabin reminds me of my idea of a Hobbit house Lorna, just delightful!! I do like the look of the Pelica vest, it's given me an idea of what I could plan for some Alpaca I have to spin. I love your idea of giving back to the special Walnut tree! I'm interested in your winter gardening too, that sounds quite inspiring. I've just decided to give up my allotment and replan my garden at home over the winter to grow more next year. A deeper look at clothes for gardening would be interesting too.
Hello Kate ☺️ yes it is quite hobbity in there, maybe that's why we felt drawn to reread it over the holiday :) that's exciting about your garden plans. I do love making plans for the garden at this time of year - it's perfect for dreaming and planning spaces I think!
As always I very much enjoyed your video. I spent my evening watching your video while hand stitching the bias on my hand quilted quilt (which you also inspired me to do!). Keep up the good work. And I’m in favor of the round necked Wynn dress, I think it would be lovely.
So happy to watch a new video today :) I vote for a v-neck wynn dress. That fabric is beautiful and I think the stripes would be so fun in a dress form. Happy to see what you make!
Hello Lorna. Really enjoy your cosy vlogs and seeing your wonderful sewing and knitting makes. I think the Wynn dress would be lovely in your new fabric and still could be layered. I love your art work and will head over to Etsy when I have finished writing this. I think the Walnut tree will appreciate the extra mulch and I don’t think you’re bonkers for doing that….and anyway it’s ok to be a bit bonkers😁. Best wishes to you❤
Yes, I love the idea of a Wyn dress in that fabric. I think the V-neck version would look lovely for layered over larger shirt collars and turtlenecks.
Make a divided Wind Dress. Separate the skirt from the top. That way you can have the skirt and the “dress”. Love your work and ideas. Just subscribed.
Hello Lorna, thank you for your lovely cosy podcast. I love how your gardening overalls are coming along!! I too have a very strong connect to the seasons and Mother Nature. Your Walnut tree will be very thankful for gathering up has many of it’s fallen leaves and create a donut shape, away from its trunk, around its root run. 🌿 I love the process of adding back to the ground during the winter in my gardens. Your vest is super!! I’ve knitted the Burgos vest last month which I can recommend 😊 😅 Monty Don fashions my gardening wardrobe too!! I really like the clothes made by the carriage company but they do come with a price tag! Would love to watch a podcast on mending / making your garden clothes! Seeing the shawl again for the knitting retreat is making me very excited for February ❤
Hello Kim ☺️ thanks so much for the lovely idea for the walnut tree - that's not something I'd have thought of! Is the idea to keep things away from blocking the trunk and move out mulch closer to where the roots will be? I am very excited for the retreat and to meet everyone, and to see your shawls come together 🥰 it sounds like we have a lot of interests in common!
@ absolutely Lorna! Keep the leaves away from the trunk🌿🥰 the tree will love you for it! I do feel we have a lot of common interests. I felt a connection with your podcast 😁
Thank you so much for all the inspiration! ❤ I would love it if you did a video on quilting for beginners, tips and tricks etc! Perhaps there are similar videos out there but I like the way you do things and how you explain them 🤗
Love your Pelica Vest, really beautiful. I'm knitting the Terrazzo Neck in similar colours just now. Oh, and the Christmas Caramel - they're so satisfyingly quick to knit. Really love your illustrations too. xx
Such a lovely video again, as usual. I'm working away (very slowly) on a Mode at Rowan knitted vest, before I get started on the Sheepfold sock kit I gifted myself. I love your Pelica vest. It reminds me a little of the traditional knitted jumpers we used to see people wearing when we lived in Austria. It's definitely being added to my wishlist list!
Hi Helen, that sounds lovely ☺️ I hope you enjoy the socks too! I'm finding mine very cosy in the cooler weather we had recently. I'd definitely recommend the Pelica for a satisfying, very wearable knit ☺️
Good strategy to put the extra pockets and loops on your dungarees when you can lay the front and back of the leg out flat. That also enables any side pockets that span the seam to be sewn flat. For working at your allotment during the winter, have you considered a cotton flannel lining for your dungarees?
Interesting idea! I wonder if it gets cold enough here for that, but it does sound very cosy! Perhaps flannel would be a good lining option for my cord gardening jacket :)
@@threadandyarn Flannel is good for a jacket lining, but you can't slide sweaters or long-sleeved shirts into sleeves lined in flannel. Jacket sleeves are better lined with something more slippery. Flannel-lined pants are good here in Maryland when the temperature goes below 30 degrees Fahrenheit (-1 Celcius), which happens a lot in January and February.
There are lots of wassails here in Herefordshire, I suppose because of all the orchards, it’s a local tradition 🌳 I certainly would like a gardening themed vlog, I love Monty’s jackets, he lives just down the road from me!
Lovely video, thank you for sharing. Hope you can record more during December and new years. Out of interest, how did you find the Rosa vest pattern to read, is it easy to understand and follow? I’m interested in making one 🤎🌿
Thank you 😊 yes, I'm hoping to do at least one more this year. I think the vest is fairly simple, but you have to remember to do i cord at all the edges. The only bit that confused me was the applied icord on the shoulders. I find Rosa very helpful and responsive though, if you ever have questions ☺️
Lovely attitude about giving thanks to nature for all she gifts to us. Can people outside of the UK as in Canada sign up to your patreon boxes? Also I have just bought yarn to start the Pelica vest...can't wait. I love yours.
If you want your new fabric to be worn every day, I'd pick a dress pattern that is your absolute favourite to wear then you'll know it will get worn and loved all the time! 💜
hey lorna, thanks for another video. Ooo ive been eyeing the Biscotti! I think it'd be wonderful as a wynn dress. Really random, but recently saw this short documentary on Quilting and it was so beautiful, thought you'd like it: ruclips.net/video/xH8Y7Mj_JqU/видео.html
Hello ☺️ yes it's such a lovely fabric, and I don't really have anything else in this colour. Thanks for the quilting documentary link! I will give it a watch this weekend :) hope everything's well with you!

Thank you 😊 I think I am leaning towards a v neck version now! Possibly also with a narrowed skirt so it's quite wearable everyday.

Thanks so much Janette ☺️ and you're right, it's not bonkers at all really! I'm going to give it a little mulch this weekend and say thank you 😊 xx
Yes, I love the idea of a Wyn dress in that fabric. I think the V-neck version would look lovely for layered over larger shirt collars and turtlenecks.
Yes I decided the same thing in the end and cut out the v neck ☺️ thank you!

I also have that vest pattern in my Ravelry favourites - inspired seeing another example! Yours is lovely.
Thank you, I recommend it ☺️

Ah of course Sharon! I forgot he's based there. It's a lovely tradition 😊
Maybe make the tie dress by sewing therapy? It’s very multipurpose and has 2 necklines as a reversible dress:)
Lovely video, thank you for sharing. Hope you can record more during December and new years.

You’ll have to knit some Monty inspired red socks for your gardening clothes video! 😅😊
