I am wearing: My Clandon Sweater ( www.ravelry.co... ) knit in our Kiki Delaine colour-way ( tinyurl.com/2e... ), Schiap lipstick by Nars and Model Citizen nail polish by Essie.
I talk about Heather Ross Fabrics, CSY Art Gallery paints, Educated by Tara Westover and our new colouway called Daisy Fellowes.

I hope you enjoyed spending some time with me and that you are having a good, creative start to 2023 :)
About Me:
My name is Ami Lowden, I design modern knitting patterns which you can find on Ravelry and Etsy, and own a hand-dyed yarn business with my sister called Dandelion & Dogwood.
My first love was sewing and I trained in Tailoring & Pattern-Cutting at London College Of Fashion. I wrote a sewing blog for years called Little Tailoress. I then gradually transferred my pattern cutting skills over to knitwear after falling in love with knitting for a second time after my first son was born.
I am inspired by a huge rage of things which is reflected in our Dandleion & Dogwood yarns and their quirky names.
I live in Surrey, England with my husband our two little boys and our two dogs.
Oh I loved seeing all of these updates, I do miss you when you are not able to vlog, your sunny face and all those colours! X
Thanks so much Claire :))
My goodness, why have I just found you? You are a delight! I love everything you portray. First, your knitting is so gorgeous. Your color palette is so like mine. I love Oracle cards, and so wish I lived in the UK to join the club. And….Educated was a book that was hauntingly excellent! I read it when it came out, and remember it vividly. It certainly made an impact on me. I, too, enjoy Audible. I just finished Anne of Green Gable, and adored it. I also love to journal, although I do have a hard time keeping regular with it. Now that I’ve found you, I will go back and binge watch your podcasts. Enjoy every day…oh…I’m also going to check out, Paper-dolls….Also…I like Essie; it does seem to last longer. I was going to do my own dip nails, and have everything, but have never gotten to complete it. ❤
Ah thanks so much Cindi! Very pleased you enjoyed the video! Wasn't Educated just so engrossing! I haven't read Anne Of Green Gables for years- I like the idea of listening to it! Thanks so much for watching :)
Hi, Ami...Your bullet journal is just beautiful! You are gifted at so many things, and I am always amazed at what you are able to accomplish with 2 little ones! It stands to reason that you are extremely disciplined, and use your time wisely. I have an artist friend who has been documenting her days for years by drawing and sketching in her journal each day. By now she probably has an entire library of them, and what a legacy they will leave! Can you tell me where you purchased your telescopic lamp that sits on your desk? Also, where you found your pink journal? Your sweater is so darling on you and I love the color! Thank you for sharing so many wonderful things with us!
Another lovely video Ami...so nice to spend time with you 😘 love and hugs Sue xx
Thanks so much Sue! :)
Third time watching….so much delicious stuff….please please keep up these amazing visits 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
Ah thanks SO much Darla! I really really hope/ plan to !!
That sweater is amazing! Depending on the exact gauge, I believe I have the perfect yarn-combo in my stash already!
Oh I love it when that happens don't you! :))
Oh my gosh if you need a test knitter I am available for you
Love the look of the lacey sleeves
So beautiful
Great to see you☺️ Your sweater design is beautiful! I would love to see some videos on your knitted and crochet blankets. Also a video on what kind of needles do you like to use for all your different knitting projects? Thank you so much for considering. I hope you have a lovely week. ☺️
Great idea!! Thank you! I will definitely show my crochet blankets soon and will put a video on needles on my list!
It’s already a real treat to see an episode pop up! I am late watching this one, but I wanted to sit with my tea and a cookie and knitting to really savor it.
Your aesthetic and projects are all so lovely.
I tear up during giving tree and miss maples seeds. So I totally understand not being able to get through reading aloud certain kids books.
Love the project talk, book chat, life stuff and journals just here for all of it!
Thanks for sharing- such a joy!
Another lovely video! I love your bullet journal. I have been doing this for around 7 years and it has been life changing. I have ADHD which I didn't know when I started but now it makes complete sense as to why it works.
I love your colour palette. I'm not a pastel person but do actually love the look of pastel but feel hot pink is a friend of pastel!!
I agree- it pairs really well!
Jack is being assessed this year for adhd (the non hyperactive kind) and I plan to be too after learning so much about it for him and feeling as if I were reading about myself...! That's brilliant to hear that journalling has worked so well for you on a long-term basis. What do you find it helps with the most- focus?
I really loved hearing the whole process for the fisherman's rib cardigan! It's so pretty, and oh my goodness, the time and thought that goes into creating your patterns explains why they are so lovely! Also, I'm crazy about the new Daisy Fellowes colour - it's absolutely gorgeous. 💖
Hehe- this one was a particularly intense example but I am like a dog with a bone when it comes to getting things just how I envisioned them, hehe!
Thanks so much for watching Anna!
@@andotherknits 😂 I completely understand!
Love your cheerful outlook. You you consider doing a vlog from idea to the complete skeins showing the whole process.x
Oh that would be a fun idea! Thanks so much for watching :)
You are amazingly talented, friend!!! ❤️
Ah thanks Leslie! And thanks for watching :))
I just found your channel and so enjoyed it. I loved all your details around sweater design and color ways of yarn and fashion history bits. Your yarn is lovely and I can’t wait to order some of it to wing it’s way to my house, lol.
Ah thank you so much Sue! So pleased you enjoyed the video!
oh i love this video! You are so inspiring! Love it! 😍😍😍 Love pinks also
Aww thank you 🥰🥰
Lovely chatty vlog. I have just gone online and purchased the colour book. Looking forward to reading it.
It’s such a lovely book! 😊
Try Yarnpond for test knitters
Oooo thank you!!
Recently found your youtube channel and SOOO enjoy watching!! I love the bag you made and hope to get one when they are in your shop!!
Ah thanks so much Darlene!! :))
Just discovered your podcast and I am in love! Your vocabulary around colors and enthusiasm when describing colorways is simply fabulous! Educated is incredibly moving and quite a special autobiography. The audiobook was a joy! Looking forward to more of your episodes
Thank you so much! This was such a gorgeous comment to receive :) So pleased you enjoyed the video!
You would probably like Zoya nail polish as well. And possibly mooncat?
Ah thanks Savanah! I will check them out! I have heard of Zoya but haven’t tried either 😚💓
That was an absolutely wonderful podcast. So interesting, informative, inspiring and motivating. I love everything you make. The colours are beautiful. Your quilt is stunning. You work so hard and at such speed to get so much completed. I was so surprised and happy to see you pop up again so soon after Vlogmas and am excited to see any vlogs you do. The more the merrier for me including lifestyle vlogs and tours. Yes!!! I love watching everything you do. Thankyou. 😀🧶☀️❄️🇬🇧
Ah thank you so much Carole, what an absolutely lovely message to receive!
Nice to see you “ this year!” When (what month) do you offer your Dandelion and Dogwood Christmas Advents? I always miss it and love your colors.
Ah thanks Ann! We have been doing it in the Spring the last few years- I think we plan to dye them up first this year so it may be different timing wise. I’ll make sure to let everyone know here on RUclips as well as over on our Instagram page this time with plenty of warning 😊
This is like a cozy visit with a sorority sister! Thanks! Very insightful comment by your husband about your reading. How nice that he listens when you chat and knows you so well to make such an astute observation. The Drummer is a reader so we have great conversations unless it’s about knitting when his eyes sometimes glaze over. 😂 I AM able, however, to listen endlessly about cymbals and drum heads!
(I have one of those mini-printers which I enjoy using for my journal. I do snap a lot of photos on my phone, and little 2x3 photos are so fun to stick on the page and write about.)
That is SUCH a nice idea!!! I'm going to look into one of these!
Ah that's so nice- books are SUCH a good conversation starter aren't they! Haha- I know that glazed expression well!!
First time watching you and realised that Sandra from Cherry Heart mentions your yarns alot so was excited to realise this was your channel. Absolutely love your pastel colours and also didn't realise you are the designer behind the Whitmoor Sweater which I've had in my queue for so long. So glad to have a new podcaster to follow. ❤❤
Ah Sandra is fabulous isn't she! I love her journalling :) Thank you so much for being here!
Wow. I have always loved you. Today you were absolutely wonderful and inspiring. You are incredibly talented and beautiful. Thanks for that wonderful podcast.
Ah that's so kind of you, thank you Jackie!
Hello Ami, I came across your channel whilst I was watching my usual sewing vlogs and I was really interested in all of your content. A really nice mix. I particularly enjoyed the excerpt about Shocking Pink from the colour book, what an interesting story. I have the Tracy Chevalier book in my ‘to read’ pile too. I will be interested to hear what you think of the book when you’ve read the second half.
I’ve tried to knit several times years ago, but never quite ‘got it’. I could really do with some hand holding. Are there any You Tubers that you could recommend to get me started please?
I can't wait to try your new cardigan pattern Ami. You are so creative, I wish I understood garment construction the way you do! Love your cheerful podcasts 💗🌟
Thanks so much 😊 I am really pleased with this final version of it! Thank you for watching :)
As soon as I saw you wearing that sweater I put it in my favorites. So beautiful!
Ah thank you so much Tami!!
Love the new colourways! I do the same with books and sometimes have the physical book, the kindle & the audiobook. I make use of the library though & my audible subscription so doesn’t cost too much 😂
Oh and I just finished Pat Barker’s ‘The Silence of the Girls’ and ‘The Women of Troy’ and would recommend!
ooo thank you! I will add those to my list! And I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one, the husband makes me feel like a total lunatic for it! Hehe.
Hi Ami, Thank you! I really enjoyed this podcast, just what I needed after a busy day at work! Loved the book recommendations.
So glad thank you Dee! Hope you enjoy the books if you do read them :)
Thank you for sharing your journaling - so inspiring to see how you took inspiration and made it your own!
Ah thanks so much Jenny! I'm so enjoying it!
Thank you Ami for another lovely podcast. I enjoyed a cup of Earl Grey (teacup and saucer, of course) whilst watching, and felt so inspired by the end. I don't know how you fit in so much with 2 young children and a business. Your journal is amazing, I wish I had that skill of drawing, sketching and colour. Looking forward to next podcast, vlog, whatever you have the time for. Always a lovely surprise when pops up on feed. Take care. 😊
Ahh thank you so much! I'm so enjoying finally doing the journalling! :)
Such a lovely episode Ami, really enjoyed this and feel very inspired to make all the things now ☺️ thank you for taking the time to make and edit this episode I can imagine that's difficult with a young baby. You asked if we had any content suggestions aside from knitting/sewing, I'm a newbie gardener planning to grow flowers for the first time this year so I'm always interested in content about your garden too as you seem to be very knowledgeable ❤️
Ah thanks so much! Oooo yes I love to ramble on about growing flowers so more than happy to make some gardening videos- hehe! Thanks for the suggestion!
Just what I needed to cheer up the week! So many gorgeous bright colours. You’ve really inspired me to start knitting with pink more as it just makes me so happy. All your yarns and makes are so gorgeous 😍💕
Pink is such an uplifting colour isn't it!? Thank you so much for watching! :))
Oh Ami I had to pause and comment :)) we love the paper dolls book too! I took Eva to the polka theatre in Wimbledon to see this as a play!!! I was crying my head off at the end 😂😂😂 it’s such a beautiful book! See if they still do the play as I think it would be great for the boys x btw for anybody that is wondering the book is by Julia Donaldson (the author of the gruffalo and room on the broom :) xx
Oh wow! I had no idea that existed- no way I’d convince Jan though 😆 he can’t even handle it in book form! Hehe!
I love these podcast type videos the best - full of creative inspiration!
Thank you!!
Thoroughly Enjoyed Your podcast Ami… can’t Wait for the New Fisherman’s Rib Cardy I Love It!! Also Love seeing you Journalling, Love your style… All the New Yarns are Gorgeous xx❤
Ah thanks so much Maree :))
Echoing all the previous lovely comments...this started a run of the mill Monday morning very nicely...there are about 5 more things on my Amazon wish list now though!...a sure sign when I've loved a vlog! Thank you.
Ah thank you so much Susan!
Ami, LOVE the sweater you’re that’s out for testing. I really look forward to making one! And I love what you’re wearing. That’ll be on my list too. I’ve only tried fisherman’s rib once and about pulled my hair out trying to not make mistakes and how to fix my mistakes! Idk what I was doing wrong. But I love the look of the one you’re designing too. A LOT! Great podcast! Have a wonderful day! ❤️
Ah thanks so much Margaret! That's actually a very good point!- I must remember to make a video tutorial on fixing fisherman's rib before releasing that pattern! It's such an interesting fabric it creates but not intuitive once you have to rip back! Thanks for watching :))
Oh wow Ami, I have just stumbled upon your channel and it’s simply wonderful and just what I needed.
Please could you share where your AMAZING bottle (i believe that’s what it is) it from please. The one with the blue straw.
Keep up the amazing videos. With love from Devon x
Isn't it gorgeous?! It is Kate Spade water bottle (it comes with the straw) I got mine from The Paper Parlour but I think quite a few online places stock them. They had a travel coffee cup version too! Thanks so much for watching!
what a fun video, thanks for sharing. It's always really interesting seeing how other people live. I especially enjoy you sharing the thought processes behind your plans xx
AH thanks so much I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Love your podcasts and vlogs. Very happy to see you pop up with all of your creativity and favourite things in life. Thank you for igniting the joy of creativity in all its glorious forms. Feeling inspired to journal, read more again, knit more, and everything else in between that is creative. Feeling happy after watching, many thanks 😊
Ah thanks so much Heather! And thanks for watching!
I'm making your clandon sweater now. Can't wait to finish it. Love your videos x.
Ah thanks so much! 😊 Are you enjoying knitting the Clandon?
The paper doll book is gorgeous my grand daughter has it, I know what you mean about tearing up. The new yarn colours are beautiful and the nail varnish colours xx
It really is! Thanks Julia!
I so enjoyed this video. I think the way you’re journaling is really doable, so sensible to keep it simple. I only put stuff in my phone calendar but I enjoy memory keeping on paper which I do in a journal similar to yours. I was also interested to see that you’ve gone back to normal nail polish. I’ve only had gel nails done a couple of times but didn’t like how my nails were once it was taken off. Thank you for the recommendations about nail products. Xx
Ah thanks so much for watching Julie! It's a trap too as then you need another set as your nails feel weak! I hope I can keep up with the regular stuff!
I do tend to overthink/ overdo things so I am so happy to have landed on a style that seems to be working as I have wanted to journal forever!
Great update. Your videos are always so inspiring. Love your yarn colours especially the new shocking pink. Thank you.
Thanks so much Corinne!
Thank you for the piece of history, those 2 colours look very good together!
Ah thanks I really enjoyed learning it. Don't they? Love the combination!
Really enjoyed this podcast! I love your little vlogs too, I've got similar aged kids, my eldest loved Jack's rock advent, he's asked for one this year! I love the Mayberry cardigan, I do remember the older versions! Your bullet journal layout looked great too, I dip my toe in and out of journalling, but I've never found a style that suits me yet, I might try a weekly spread again but ignore all the recurring events as like you say, they are in my phone calendar! Loved the inspiration section!
And who wants to be reminded of supermarket trips and doctors appointments, hehe! That rock advent was seriously amazing! I loved learning what they were and such a nice collection to have afterwards! I would highly recommend! Thanks so much for watching Janet!
A beautiful podcast Ami. The colours throughout the video are so lovely and enticing. Adore every one of them. Really enjoyed to hear about the shocking pink colour. Love the idea of your journalling book and hearing of your wishes for it to be. You have started off beautifully. Look forward to the pattern becoming available for the fisherman rib cardy, it's a fabulous pattern. Adore your Pyrex colourway.
Thanks so much Shirley!!
That was lovely, I love the new yarn colour it is so bright! You have given me ideas for books too I especially liked the look of your book on colour. I am keeping a sewing scrapbook this year as I make things for work too so I don't keep all of it and also it is just good to have to hand for the fabric and pattern codes along with image and swatch. So i am really enjoying that, I am also doing some art each week but just on paper, after seeing your beautiful journal I think I should have started a book for that too. Have a lovely week.
Ah thanks Dianne, the colour book is really lovely! I LOVE that idea about the sewing journal! Love Sandy from By The Lakeside sent me a project book so I should use this in the same way!
Loved your video and recommendations. I try every January to journal and have spent a fortune on bleedproof paper and quality pens. I struggle when the colours can be seen on the reverse page or the ink bleeds. Which book did you end up using for your lovely journal? I am inspired to try again…. Will check out “Educated”. Really enjoyed the content today. Thank you for giving me several ideas to try out with regards to knitting, journaling and nails. Looking forward to your new pattern release.
Hi Claire!
I have historically been exactly the same way! Every year 😆
I began trying in my paperchase grid page journal and it it bled through horribly. I asked for advice on Instagram and was recommended to get one with paper of 150 thickness and up. So I got the Ottergami one (it’s 160 thick and dotted) and I can literally use any pen/paint and nothing bleeds though at all!
Thanks so much for watching!
Thank you very much for this podcast, it was fascinating to learn your design process and so many versions you knit for your cardigan until you feel it works!
Ah thanks for watching! This particular design was definitely a journey! hehe!
The quilt is looking gorgeous, can’t wait to see it finished. I started a journal this year and finding it fun. I write a diary every night and have done since I was 12! So funny to read. The yarns are all beautiful especially the Agatha Christie inspired one and Pan Am one. Good luck with your new cardigan. Xx
Ah that must be so wonderful to have Sally! I wish I had kept journals like that! Thanks for watching :)
I have to admit, I love ALL your videos, so the more variation and content the better.
Loving the fisherman rib cardigan without the lace and the colours gorgous.
I've started a journal this year too, I'm keeping a record of the books I'm reading so I dont buy them twice..........again 🙄. I like your idea of putting watercolour blocks in to write on, I might steal that 🤣
Ah thanks so much, that's so nice to hear! Yes the watercolour is so quick but really makes the pages pretty! I think the idea of keeping a record of the books read over the year is so nice, and I feel like it is motivating to prioritise reading too!
Love your fisherman knit sweater
If you are looking for a test knitter I would love to do this
I live in Canada and have never test knitted but have made 2 fisherman knitted sweaters
Love your style
Ah thank you Kim! That would be great!! I will be using Yarn Pond for the testing call (someone mentioned it on here and I had never heard of it before somehow!) So I will be SURE to announce it on RUclips and instagram before the call goes up :)
Thanks so much for watching! Ps- I am determined to visit Canada in the not-too-distant future!
Love all your patterns! Can’t wait to try. Is the cardigan ok for an advanced beginner?
This was so lovely to watch.where did you buy your book the secret lives of colour from?I have looked but I can't find the hardcover .I used to watch your sewing vlog,do you still sew? I love your sewing patterns and your yarns.
Ah yes I still love to pattern cut and sew, knitting is just more possible more often these days with the kids but have lots of sewing projects to share. Was actually planning to wear a recent dress on this video but it was too cold. Next time 😊
The book was from my mother in law a few years ago- I expect she got it from waterstones as that where she usually buys books.
Thanks for watching!
Loving all of the things that you have shared in this vlog, I really do find you so inspirational. Loving the journal, I really need to get on with mine, not filled in anything for January yet, totally going to steal some of your ideas 😬😬 🤗🤗🤗
Ah thanks so much Vickie! Those blank pages can be oddly intimidating!!
Delightful vlog Ami! I really enjoyed this.
Ah thank you!
Lovely catch up, such lovely makes, the quilt is beautiful, can’t wait to see it finished. I’ve bought the Draw your Day book and just reading it is inspiring. Could I ask if you could recommend a journal that will take watercolour and market pens ? I’m determined I’m going to have a go, your artwork is amazing. Thank you 😊
Ah thank you Mandy! YES! The one I began in was a disaster and so I asked for advice on instagram and have replaced mine with the Ottergami- it's brilliant! Such lovely thick paper, nothing bleeds at all!
Ami: when you took out the first pink Pyrex I was like…. That’s different for you! Then when u pulled out the hot pink I was like whaaaat?! This must be an imposter 🥸 😅 But I do remember you knitted a fire engine red sweater once …. A couple years ago?! I think it was a vintage pattern… anyways as always lovely podcast thanks ☺
Hopefully this imposter can get up with the baby in the night too! Haha!! Thanks so much for watching :)
What a gorgeous video! I can’t wait for the cardigan! I’ve already ordered the club yarn. Thanks lovely! X
Ah thanks Lynda! :) The club yarn is going to be so fun!
Knitting on my second Chartres Cardi (for a friend!) while listening and it’s amazing to hear how the new cardigan design process has gone. It will be so perfect when it’s finally published, and I love the shocking pink hues you’ve chosen. ❤
I’ve also been trying to read better books and so far I’ve read two novels that I’ve just adored: “The Bone People” by Keri Hulme and “The Red Tent” by Anita Diamant. I’ve been transported! ❤
Ah thanks Anna! Yes it was a many stage process that one- hehe!! I've written the books down, thanks so much for the recommendation! Transported is the best isn't it!

Hi Ami, I’ve been knitting for many years but have never attempted to knit top down, in the round. Do you think your new jumper pattern would be suitable for a first time attempt. My daughter-in-law loved that jumper in the tv show and asked if I could knit it for her? So enjoy watching your vlogs, thank you.
I'm currently test knitting and I would say it is! I've done lots of socks, hats, shawls etc and this is my first in the round sweater. I always say give it a go, the worst that can happen is we get stuck and ask a knitting buddy or frog it! X
@@clairedurnell7754 Hi Claire, Thank you so much for answering my query. I’m going to take your advice and go for it. I’ll let you know how I go. Cheers, Pat Gold Coast, Australia🐨🇦🇺
@@patriciagabrielides3146 hello from the UK! Hopefully it all goes well, I love thinking there are knitters and the world working on the same knits, a thread that ties us no matter how far apart we all are x
Yes I would say so! And you can always drop me an email if you have any queries! RUclips is also a brilliant resource for videos on any new knitting techniques :) Thanks so much for watching!
Hi Ami, well that was a pleasant interlude this afternoon watching your lovely self. Would you mind sharing the author of the child’s book you mentioned please. About the paper dolls? Thank you.
Of course Jackie! It's by Julia Donaldson, she is fab!! Thanks for watching!:)
Lovely podcast thank you Ami. I’d love to see more journaling as you develop, it’s something I’m trying to do. I have a Hobonichi weekly planner along with my phone, so planning isn’t a problem, it’s the journaling I find harder. Can I ask what book is it you’ve bought, it’s such a gorgeous pink colour?
And at the age of 54 I still can’t paint my nails that doesn’t look like a 3 year old has done it 😆
Hehe, not the look alone is going for really ;) I bought the Ottergami Journal, I'm SO pleased with it. I got it after I was recommended one with thicker paper (I have was having serious pen bleed-through with my paperchase one) You can literally use any ink/paint with the Ottergami and nothing bleeds.
I was always really intimidated by blank journal pages but somehow this year I've managed to get past it. I'm sure it will morph as the year progresses but I'm looking forward to developing my page layouts!
Try keeping your nail varnish in the refrigerator, they last better. Lovely video. 🙋🏼♀️
Oooo what a brilliant tip! Thank you :)
Knitting patterns
Lovely video as always 🥰 If I may ask, you mentioned before you do barre workouts at home. Could you share what program(s) you use? I did ballet years ago, and would like to go back to that routine from home, but unsure where to start with all the options out there.
I use Les Mills On Demand - although I think they have changed their name to Les Mills Plus now. It's actually the only Barre I have ever done so can't really offer any comparison but I do love it.
Could you please share the author of Paper Dolls…..I think I must have a copy🌸
Absolutely! It's by Julia Donaldson- she is a genius!
I would love to test knit for you! I have done some tests through yarn pond which seems like a nice way to discuss and keep progress notes. My question is, would there be a way you would be able to tell me approximately how much yardage I would need to make your new sweater design that is currently with testers? It’s the one that you first talked about on this podcast episode. I want to order that exact yarn, the Pyrex colorway, and I am just not sure how much I would need to order. My bust size is 40 so I guess you can go from that. Thank you so much in advance, love all of your Podcasts and your designs!
Ah thank you so much Diane! You would need 6 skeins of the Dreamy DK base for your size :)
Thank you!!!
@@andotherknitsBUMMER ITS NOW SOLD OUT! Can I special order the 6 skeins?
@@dzubik1 absoloutely! Let me add it to the shop and we can dye it up 😀
@@dzubik1 you should be fine to do it now Diane 😊
I love the quilt! What pattern did you use?
Ah thank you! It is called the Sawtooth Star block- I'm sorry I totally should have mentioned that! I used the 'quick, no-waste' method for the flying geese which are the bits that surround the square. There are lots of videos showing this here on RUclips. It makes it so speedy to make these blocks!
I really enjoy your videos, or would if I could hear you! I wonder if you can boost the volume somehow. I have to hold my device up to my ear in order to hear you! This is chronic, not just this episode. Here’s hoping you can somehow crank it up…🤞
You may find it useful to use head phones.
So sorry about that, hmmm I'm afraid not sure why that would be. If I play the video on my devices it's the same volume as other RUclips videos and Audible etc...? I have seen some RUclipsrs use big mics so perhaps I will look into that.
