I just love you when you have had a bit of caffeine. I chuckle and knit and just love all you knit and show. I keep stopping and following a link and then come back, knit and watch some more. You could be sitting right here with me, wish you were. Love it all.
I love your yarn adventures. No pressure to perform outside your comfort for my viewing pleasure. I live vicariously through you with your travels. If you sat on a park bench in rural Alberta knitting, I would be still be here for you. Love your style always❤️🇨🇦
You are too funny! Adding the angelic music to the Rauma wall of yarn!😂😂😂. Great podcast! I am in love with your 4th Raununculus! Sooooo fun! Thanks for taking us along for the ride! My brother passed in 2014 and his favorite saying was, it’s 1234 o’clock for 12:34! It’s amazing how many times I’ll catch it on my watch and think of him! Safe travels to you Leanne!
I like to think of those numbers as a reminder/confirmation that they aren’t far and “just in another room” as a favourite poem of mine says about loved ones who have passed. 💗💗
Thanks for sharing the knitting loft with us. I have ordered wool from them online. It is cool to see the shop itself. They have more fab yarns than I realized.
So sorry to hear about your brother, but what a special way to keep him close to you! Hope your sister gets well and that all three of you enjoy your crocheted cardigans! Love your projects and seeing Canada. We were just in Montreal for a few days and had a wonderful time!
Fantastic podcast! You bring so much joy when your latest one pops up in my feed. Thank you for taking us to The Knitting Loft, everyone’s dream store.
Thanks for another great episode. I have No problem watching you head straight to the woolshop! Most times you vlog the town, but hey it's all good and the variety is nice. Love those slippers with your handspun yarn. And your Ranunculus! ❤ Happy knitting, and flying till next time.
I love the “sister square cardigan” Lovely episode, again. The ranunculus is beauty, I would never have imagined that variegated sock yarn would be so pretty in a sweater! Thank for showing this. Greetings from 🇨🇭
i audibly gasped when I saw your colourwork sweater! Your stitches are so beautiful. Congrats on such a successful spinning project and thanks for sharing your friends' get away.
Thanks for sharing what it’s like to be a flight attendant. It makes us appreciate your hard work and sacrifice even more! You are a delight to watch, and always bring me joy. ❤
Thank you so much Carol! I love it so much and cannot imagine another job that would line up with my personality and life preferences better than this - so VERY grateful! Don’t get me wrong there are some BRUTAL days and rough patches but it just always feels like home at 40,000 ft
Great to see your podcast in Ontario. The Knitting Loft is to die for. What a wonderful selection of yarns in so many colours. Love your finished items and works in progress. That maple leaf was stunning. 🇬🇧
Thanks again Leanne. And thanks for showing us The Knitting Loft. I’ve only shopped online with them because I live on the West Coast of BC. Next time I’m in Toronto, I hope to go there I personally.
You crack me up. I too started “spinning” to be economical and creative….i have quite a bit of fabulous unspun fibre, downstairs in a bin and continue to purchase fabulous yarn to just keep knitting
The knitting loft is amazing. The next time in Kitchener you should visit Galt house of Yarn in Cambridge it is another great store and the drive to Little Red Mitten is about the same distance as the Knitting Loft without the traffic of Toronto!
I'll definitely check them out !! I have both of those places in my sights, but I just had to see for my myself if The Knitting Loft was as awesome as I had heard.
I just so enjoyed this ep - it’s kismet - my colour gasps, love for Rauma and Lopi, the slippers, the twinning with vests and slippers and the love for similar makers. Even the smoothies were epic! 😂😂 love your work and the new style ❤❤❤ Lisa
Oh, wow - vicuna!! That is a super precious yarn. I remember reading about it, and the government in Peru limits the amount of yarn that can be sourced. The animals were nearly extinct at one point. You have a treasure.
Best wishes to your dear sister as she deals with her cancer experience. Your sisters sweater project sounds like a wonderful expression of love and mutual support ❤
Thank you for another lovely episode - so many lovely things in your knitting life. Knitting friends are great. What a Good idea with a crocheted sister cardigan 👍
The Knitting Loft looks fabulous, thanks for sharing. Only 7 hours from Ohio here in the US!! (Three dolphins!!! hehehe) Love the mountain/river tattoo. Almost ready to try a ranunculus.
Such a joyful and moving episode, Leann! I was moved to tears to hear the story of your special necklace and jethro cardigan project. So intrigued by your new colorwork ring. I would love a tutorial. Thank you for lifting my spirits today, edgy fiber friend 😊
This is the second message today that lifted MY spirits. Love that we as a knitting community do that for each other. Thank you so much for being here 💖
Oh my! Love your woodland loafers. I made one (first of more to come) last night. Will make the other tonight. I ordered suede slipper soles from Etsy that I will sew on the bottom to extend the life of the soles. Funny you said you will show the slippers using “footage.”
yes please to the tutorial - i'm an English knitter and have been struggling with a thimble. Thank you for your youtube channel, I very much enjoy your content and although I'm rubbish at leaving comments I do always give you a thumbs up 🙂
another vote for the tutorial. Your colorwork projects are stunning and I've just started dabbling in colorwork, but end up with such a tangle of yarns that it makes me less interested in pursuing another project
I just love your podcasts and missed you!!! So much content in this episode, awesome and you have been one super busy lady! Those slippers are great. I was taught very young how to knit (pee-shoes) slippers by my Memere which I still knit yearly for family members when in need of a new pair. To save the wear and tear on them my sister crochets soles that I sew on with yarn and when they wear holes in them I just sew on a new pair of soles. It works out great! Kathy from Massachusetts ❤❤
Oh my gosh loved your episode🥰 the sound when you saw Finull was so funny😂 had to go back and see it 2 times. Thank you for taking us along on your knitting adventure and travels - so special with your necklace - this is such a beautiful thought ❤️ Take care and safe travels💐
My Granddaughter recently started crocheting so her and I collaborated on a cardigan for her. She loves the finished product and wears it often to work. It was fun to make together.
Great makes Leanne. I love the yarn you used for your latest Ranunculous. I also love those wee slippers, they look super cosy. And thanks for showing us round The Knitting loft; 2 floors of yarn sounds like heaven. That deep brown/aubergine colour is gorgeous.
Thank you 😜 for a great podcast! Off I will go again to add more “I needs” to my queue, especially love your handspun slippers WOW! You should be proud! I was at the Knitting Loft today but only for 1 1/2 hrs 😊, hubby was waiting. Found some real treasures and also fell in love with Rauma Garn Finull, I love the heathering it has. Safe travels 💓
☕️💪🏻🤭🤣 “thank you so much” …… Omg you were so funny! Thanks for a super fab episode. You’re a spinner 🎉💕 and all the knits were so good…. btw never do $math when it comes to crafting…. I think it’s in the rules, thou shall not add up!! I smiled sooo much, love the friend tattoos, thanks for sharing 🙏🥰😘
I love your podcasts. I doubt I will ever visit these far flung destinations so living vicariously through you is a pleasure. The Knitting Loft was overwhelming. How will anyone ever choose?
So glad you took us to the Knitting Loft! I immediately got on their mailing list and may make that my local yarn shop. Nothing even close to that in my relatively large midwestern city. One of the many reasons I wish I was in Canada--fabulous yarn shops.
Welcome to my neck of the woods (close to Kitchener). The Knitting Loft I consider one of my LYS’s. It’s tough to get out of there in under 3 hours and without an armful of yarn so don’t feel weird! Pretty unreal, I know. ~
Oh,my goodness!!! I love your colorwork sweater test knit!!! So nice.thanks for taking us to the Knitting Loft. I need to look up that slipper pattern as it looks so nice and fits you so well. Thanks for sharing all your knitting goodness. I enjoy your podcasts and your travels each podcast.
Loved watching today while working Clue 4 of the SW MKAL. Thank you for always taking us along on your travels and seeing not only lovely places but also yarn stores I hear about but have never been. Your festive sweater test knit is gorgeous. I think your necklace is amazing and such a special way to honor your brother. I’m looking forward th seeing the sisters shared cardis. Have a great few weeks.
Great podcast!! Your finished objects are awesome. I love your sweaters and your hat. It was so nice to see the Knitting loft. Just unbelievable, I wouldn’t know what to get. Thanks again for a great podcast
You are so funny! Thank you! 😅 Just thought I would mention that I also like to bring my breakfast and snacks when I travel and on my last trip te mini fridge was cool at best. I ended up buying a bag of ice (at a gas station) and the hotel gave me one of their plastic laundry bags to put it in. I rolled it up nice and tight so it wouldn’t leak and popped it at the bottom of the fridge. Between the ice and the coolness of the fridge my food stayed nice and cold for the 2 days I was there and the ice could have lasted another day. I guess it made the fridge like a plug-in cooler.
Oh my goodness. I have so enjoyed your podcast. I stumbled across it and now I’m hooked. Thanks so much for the gift ideas, the tours, and your sweaters are beautiful. Can’t wait for your next adventure.
I always enjoy your podcast. Thank you for the Jason hat pattern suggestion. A friend gifted me some super bulky yarn, 1 skein of two different colors. Now I know what to do with them.
Thanks so much for taking us to the Knitting Loft , what an amazing yarn store . Your Nordic Noel Sweater is absolutely beautiful 💚🌲. Lovely to keep your brother so close to you 🩵
Love to see all your adventures❤ how gorgeous your sweaters are. I do find your necklace very precious and what it means .your brother goes with you to all places
All I can say about the woolly goodness is "WOW"! It was all amazing!!! Your WIPs, FOs and then The Knitting Loft! It's wool on steroids! 🧶🧶thank you so much for sharing so much! I love your maple leaf too....when I was in elementary school we would gather perfect leaves and then press them (with adult guidance) with an iron on low setting between two pieces of was paper. It preserved them for a little while....I thought about doing that the other day - could frame a collage of them....autumn is my favorite season. Stay safe Leanne in your jetting around✈
Wonderful episode. So lovely that you made it to the Knitting Loft. I live about 1-1/2 hrs from them and never ventured through the crazy traffic to get there until last week. My girlfriend and I stayed for hours and had the best time and got the best yarn. Linda.
I never thought about putting some silicone inside the colorwork thimble. I own two of them and they’re always slipping downward on my finger and in the end I don’t use them. Now I know what to do and I can’t wait to knit some color work with them. Thank you for the tip. BTW - your red scarf is stunning.❤
I Love your podcasts and missed you! All your knits are wonderful. I’m proud of you too! Your handspun is beautiful! You sold me on the slipper pattern! And your green and white sweater love love love it. I really like the 2 colors. Urban shiek is a great color on you. I never knew they made charms that contain ashes. I wish I would have known and done that with some of my dad’s. What a lovely sentiment and having your brother with you. You are a sweet young lady. Thank you for sharing your knits and your life with us. Hugs ❤
I laughed out loud when you said you spent 3 hours at the Knitting Loft because I did too when I visited. I walked away with three sweater quantities and the most amazing faux fur Pom from that fun wall display. Just yesterday I finished the second of the three sweaters. I don’t dare return until I knit through my stash some more - waaaaay too tempting. I grew up a hop skip and a jump from Kitchener - love the way your podcast sparks memories of my youth in Canada. Can’t wait for my next visit home.
It is a wonderful and very dangerous shop! So much goodness. I am glad I at least had my “Rauma” plan. The plan is to show Kitchener footage next time so hopefully you’ll see all kinds of things from your youth!
So great to see you again! Love the scenery, the knitting shop tour, the new knitting thimble/tensioner (going to look into that one), gifts, tattoo....beaded projects (that fish!!)...hope you get some good rest and we will see you next time!
It was truly lovely to spend a few minutes with you at Rhinebeck Sarah!! That footage of all that wildlife!! Truly spectacular!!!! Thank you for a lovely episode 🤗🤗
Have missed your podcasts lately. Love seeing your shares. Your journey is so inspiring w everything. From detailed notes and even food(!). 🩷🙏🏼woodland loafers, beanie. Ranunculus. TU Lee Anne! Sorry of loss of your brother.🌺
Oh my goodness - I got that exact colourwork thimble in an order that arrived last week!! I, like you, mainly did two-handed colourwork previously but I plan on doing the Levi pullover (Sari Nordlund) next and decided to give the Clover thimble a chance! Seems perfect!👌 Love all your finished objects - thanks, as always🥰
Leanne, you make me laugh at your antics. Love your Ranunculus and the hats. A tutorial on your new clover thimble would be great. Thanks from NZ where it's a sunny spring day!
Leanne, great podcast. I love this ranunculus, the yarn is great for this. I have not made this pattern yet but now want to, never thought to use sock yarn. Couldn’t find it anywhere but I was finally led to ebay. Thanks so much for the idea, this is what is so great about podcasts.
Yay! I’m so glad you found some! Let me know how it turns out. My love for the Ranunculus has surprised me as I was late to the party and “accidentally” modified it to the point where it’s my favourite garment. Crazy!
I love the alpaca face on your test knit. Lol. Our priest has a fancy scroll design on the front of his vestements, but all I can see is a dog moteif (I'm not sure if it's Japanese, or Chinese, but I've seen this moteif quite a few times in pictures and statues, and that's what I see every time I look at him.) Not what I'm supposed to be thinking about during mass, but it makes me smile. Lol. He probably thinks I'm really enjoying the homily.
Great episode! Caffeinated Leanne made me laugh. I'm going to keep my eyes open for the colorwork sweater release. Gorgeous! Also, what a sweet necklace. I didn't know such a thing existed.
Haha 🤣 Aw thank you Amber! I love coffee soo much but wowzers the older I get the more sensitive I become to the caffeine. Nordic Noel should be released on Nov 15th … pattern gauge is 19sts so quick and beautiful - win win!
@theknittystew I am the same way. I do not tolerate caffeine anymore. I have switched to one cup of black tea in the morning which I tolerate well, but to drink espresso like I used to would make me a jittery, panicky mess.
Thank you for showing us your lovely makes! Love the Ranunculus. I hope you had a good break, the wool is just the best. We don’t have maples much in Australia, usually Japanese maples are grown in people’s gardens so I particularly loved the maple leaf at the very end. Cheers.
I have a yarn guide similar to yours. As a continental knitter I enjoy using it. Unfortunately, when I got ready to do Framed, I couldn’t find it! Good to see you 😊
I just love you when you have had a bit of caffeine. I chuckle and knit and just love all you knit and show. I keep stopping and following a link and then come back, knit and watch some more. You could be sitting right here with me, wish you were. Love it all.
Oh thank you! I am a bit of a weirdo and when I edit these videos i shake my head but I mean that’s okay.
I love your new uncut format. It feels friendly and natural. I do so much enjoy your channel.
Aw thanks so much. It feels authentic and far less editing required !! 😊
I love your yarn adventures. No pressure to perform outside your comfort for my viewing pleasure. I live vicariously through you with your travels. If you sat on a park bench in rural Alberta knitting, I would be still be here for you. Love your style always❤️🇨🇦
Thank you so much! This message really lifted my spirits! 💕
This was a wonderful podcast! The Knitting Loft looks like heaven on earth.
Thanks Susan! It is a wool Mecca
Thanks for. Today. So much yarny goodness. Love the sisters collaboration ! Hope she is healing and feeling better!
Thank you Cindy! She is a champ and getting very good news at her follow up appointments.
Your mint green floof is definitely dreamy!!! Awesome to spend some time with you Leanne!! ❤
Thanks Selma!! It’s the floofiest!!
You are too funny! Adding the angelic music to the Rauma wall of yarn!😂😂😂. Great podcast! I am in love with your 4th Raununculus! Sooooo fun! Thanks for taking us along for the ride! My brother passed in 2014 and his favorite saying was, it’s 1234 o’clock for 12:34! It’s amazing how many times I’ll catch it on my watch and think of him! Safe travels to you Leanne!
I like to think of those numbers as a reminder/confirmation that they aren’t far and “just in another room” as a favourite poem of mine says about loved ones who have passed. 💗💗
Thanks for sharing the knitting loft with us. I have ordered wool from them online. It is cool to see the shop itself. They have more fab yarns than I realized.
It is such a great yarn store i’m lucky I’m not closer or I would spend a fortune there!
Love every minute of your podcasts, Leanne! Thank you. 😊
Aw wow, thank you Alison that made my day!
I’ve bought from the knitting loft a number of times (online) and it was nice to see the store in person! Thanks Leanne!
Hi Patrick 👋🏼
So sorry to hear about your brother, but what a special way to keep him close to you! Hope your sister gets well and that all three of you enjoy your crocheted cardigans! Love your projects and seeing Canada. We were just in Montreal for a few days and had a wonderful time!
Thank you Denise!! 💗💗
Thank you for sharing the Woodland Loafers. They look amazing and I quickly added them to my to do list!
They are very quick and satisfying! I should have mentioned they are slippery on wood floors!
I love that you felted them a bit. Did they shrink a lot?
Fantastic podcast! You bring so much joy when your latest one pops up in my feed. Thank you for taking us to The Knitting Loft, everyone’s dream store.
Oh thank you Heather! TKL is truly a dream yarn store !!!
I love a highly caffeinated Leanne 😊. When you were showing the hat for a friend and said 'and Bob's your uncle' I was 😂. Love that phrase lol.
Oh my gosh - it is really starting to have a effect on me at this age 😆
“Robert’s your Mother’s Brother” 🤣
Thanks for another great episode. I have No problem watching you head straight to the woolshop! Most times you vlog the town, but hey it's all good and the variety is nice. Love those slippers with your handspun yarn.
And your Ranunculus! ❤
Happy knitting, and flying till next time.
Aw thank you!! I’m honestly just trying to keep it real.. I think we’re there as a community hey?
I love the “sister square cardigan”
Lovely episode, again.
The ranunculus is beauty, I would never have imagined that variegated sock yarn would be so pretty in a sweater! Thank for showing this.
Greetings from 🇨🇭
Hi Patricia! Thank you so much. That cardigan is going to be very precious!
I agree
I always love your podcast, wherever you might take us. Travel on! Thanks for the gift ideas.
Awesome! Thank you Alexis!
i audibly gasped when I saw your colourwork sweater! Your stitches are so beautiful. Congrats on such a successful spinning project and thanks for sharing your friends' get away.
Thank you Angie! Isn’t the Nordic Noel design amazing! 🤩 19 sts gauge too I should’ve mentioned that because it’s a quick one.
Thanks for sharing what it’s like to be a flight attendant. It makes us appreciate your hard work and sacrifice even more! You are a delight to watch, and always bring me joy. ❤
Thank you so much Carol! I love it so much and cannot imagine another job that would line up with my personality and life preferences better than this - so VERY grateful! Don’t get me wrong there are some BRUTAL days and rough patches but it just always feels like home at 40,000 ft
Great to see your podcast in Ontario. The Knitting Loft is to die for. What a wonderful selection of yarns in so many colours. Love your finished items and works in progress. That maple leaf was stunning. 🇬🇧
Thank you Elaine!
Thanks again Leanne. And thanks for showing us The Knitting Loft. I’ve only shopped online with them because I live on the West Coast of BC. Next time I’m in Toronto, I hope to go there I personally.
You are so welcome! My advice when you do visit: have a plan 😂 because holy moly!!
Wow, the Knitting Loft looks to be the Best Yarn Shop Ever! Thanks for taking us along!
It’s QUITE a place.
You crack me up. I too started “spinning” to be economical and creative….i have quite a bit of fabulous unspun fibre, downstairs in a bin and continue to purchase fabulous yarn to just keep knitting
Hahaha!! We are hopeless aren’t we?! But are we happy in our fibre/yarn chaos… yes!
The knitting loft is amazing. The next time in Kitchener you should visit Galt house of Yarn in Cambridge it is another great store and the drive to Little Red Mitten is about the same distance as the Knitting Loft without the traffic of Toronto!
I'll definitely check them out !! I have both of those places in my sights, but I just had to see for my myself if The Knitting Loft was as awesome as I had heard.
Such a fun episode! Thank you. The Knitting Loft footage was inspirational
☺️🍁💗
Hi Leanne, thank you for another wonderful podcast❤
Thank you Aida! And thanks for your Kofi support 💗💗
Thank you so much for sharing your adventures with us! I now need to visit the Knitting Loft!
You are so welcome Mary! Oh boy make sure you have a plan before stepping into The Knitting Loft! One could break the bank in that awesome shop.
I just so enjoyed this ep - it’s kismet - my colour gasps, love for Rauma and Lopi, the slippers, the twinning with vests and slippers and the love for similar makers. Even the smoothies were epic! 😂😂 love your work and the new style ❤❤❤ Lisa
I would say we are knitting twins Lisa!! Opposite sides of the globe!!
Oh, wow - vicuna!! That is a super precious yarn. I remember reading about it, and the government in Peru limits the amount of yarn that can be sourced. The animals were nearly extinct at one point. You have a treasure.
Wow! A treasure indeed!
Best wishes to your dear sister as she deals with her cancer experience. Your sisters sweater project sounds like a wonderful expression of love and mutual support ❤
Aw thank you so much 🙏🏼
Thank you for another lovely episode - so many lovely things in your knitting life. Knitting friends are great. What a Good idea with a crocheted sister cardigan 👍
Thank you Ulla! 😊
The Knitting Loft looks fabulous, thanks for sharing. Only 7 hours from Ohio here in the US!! (Three dolphins!!! hehehe) Love the mountain/river tattoo. Almost ready to try a ranunculus.

I soooo enjoy your blogs. Your knitting choices are beautiful, love every one of them!
Thank you so much Connie! ☺️
That was awesome. I’ve always wanted to see the Knitting loft. Thank you so much for all of that. Love all your makes all your yarn. Wow so cool.

You got it!
Coming soon! I need someone to help me film it and then I’ll get it up online.
The sister cardigans are SO sweet, I'm in tears 😭💕
🥹💗🤍
OMG!! I was laughing so much... Thank you!!
Can I please hang out with you and your knitting friends? The crochet cat bag is beautiful 😻
😂 🤣 Isn’t that cat bag amazing!
Thank you for another wonderful podcast! Stay safe.
Thank you! You too!
I just love your podcasts and missed you!!! So much content in this episode, awesome and you have been one super busy lady! Those slippers are great.

Love your hats and the ranunculus,
💗 Thank you!
Oh my gosh loved your episode🥰 the sound when you saw Finull was so funny😂 had to go back and see it 2 times.
Thank you for taking us along on your knitting adventure and travels - so special with your necklace - this is such a beautiful thought ❤️
Take care and safe travels💐
Thank you Hanne! I cracked up laughing during editing that part as I searched for the perfect angelic choir sound effect!
My Granddaughter recently started crocheting so her and I collaborated on a cardigan for her. She loves the finished product and wears it often to work. It was fun to make together.
Aw how special is that!!? Love it.
Great makes Leanne. I love the yarn you used for your latest Ranunculous. I also love those wee slippers, they look super cosy. And thanks for showing us round The Knitting loft; 2 floors of yarn sounds like heaven. That deep brown/aubergine colour is gorgeous.
Thank you 🤎🤎🤎 I have to find just the right project for the brown/aubergine Rauma!! Nothing has spoke to me yet
@@theknittystew I'm sure the perfect pattern will turn up for you soon 😊
Super pretty Ranunculus!❤
Thank you! I am wearing it a tonne!
Your sister's granny squares are beautiful! Here's to a full recovery for her!
Thank you so much! ☺️ 🙏🏼
Thank you 😜 for a great podcast! Off I will go again to add more “I needs” to my queue, especially love your handspun slippers WOW! You should be proud! I was at the Knitting Loft today but only for 1 1/2 hrs 😊, hubby was waiting. Found some real treasures and also fell in love with Rauma Garn Finull, I love the heathering it has. Safe travels 💓
The Rauma knits up like a dream. I’m also a big fan of De Rerum Natura Ulysse but I had to restrain myself!
Your slippers in that beautiful handspun are gorgeous! What a terrific idea to felt them a little....and the fit is perfect.
Thank you so much Constance!
Love your collaboration project with your sisters! How absolutely wonderful and meaningful!!
Thank you! I can’t wait. I think they’re going to be treasures!
Gorgeous knits. Love the winter sweater. Thank you for the tour of the Knitting Loft. Thanks for sharing. Take Care.
Thank you Donna!! 🥰
☕️💪🏻🤭🤣 “thank you so much” …… Omg you were so funny! Thanks for a super fab episode. You’re a spinner 🎉💕 and all the knits were so good…. btw never do $math when it comes to crafting…. I think it’s in the rules, thou shall not add up!! I smiled sooo much, love the friend tattoos, thanks for sharing 🙏🥰😘
Aw thank you !! 😂 I didn’t know that Crafting Math .. but it definitely rings true.
I love your podcasts. I doubt I will ever visit these far flung destinations so living vicariously through you is a pleasure. The Knitting Loft was overwhelming. How will anyone ever choose?
They carry 83 yarn brands.. overwhelming INDEED. One would really have to know what they want before stepping foot in there.
Such a wonderful episode! Thank you ❤
Thank you Deborah!
Good thing I am not near that yarn store! WOW, beautiful! 😮😮
I know right!?? Danger!!
So glad you took us to the Knitting Loft! I immediately got on their mailing list and may make that my local yarn shop. Nothing even close to that in my relatively large midwestern city. One of the many reasons I wish I was in Canada--fabulous yarn shops.
Love that Nancy! The USD is strong and that might be a very good thing for all the tempting yarns!
Welcome to my neck of the woods (close to Kitchener). The Knitting Loft I consider one of my LYS’s. It’s tough to get out of there in under 3 hours and without an armful of yarn so don’t feel weird! Pretty unreal, I know. ~
It was UNREAL!! So glad I had the Rauma as a focus because lordy I could break the bank in there 🤩
Thanks for another great podcast. Happy travels!
Thanks for watching!
I cast on a paid of Welted Fingerless Mitts (Churchmouse Yarns) as a gift knit. The are DK so pretty quick. Loved this episode
Love Churchmouse Yarns patterns!
Oh,my goodness!!! I love your colorwork sweater test knit!!! So nice.thanks for taking us to the Knitting Loft. I need to look up that slipper pattern as it looks so nice and fits you so well. Thanks for sharing all your knitting goodness. I enjoy your podcasts and your travels each podcast.
Thank you so much Susan! ☺️
So glad you got yo the Knitting Loft is close to my home which can be good and bad! It really is a great store and the staff are great .
Oh boy having that place close would be dangerous for me … i tend to need a lot of “retail yarn therapy”
@ it is dangerously they have such an amazing selection just so much to see !
Loved watching today while working Clue 4 of the SW MKAL. Thank you for always taking us along on your travels and seeing not only lovely places but also yarn stores I hear about but have never been. Your festive sweater test knit is gorgeous. I think your necklace is amazing and such a special way to honor your brother. I’m looking forward th seeing the sisters shared cardis. Have a great few weeks.
Aw thank you Sharon! ☺️🫶🏼
Great podcast!! Your finished objects are awesome. I love your sweaters and your hat. It was so nice to see the Knitting loft. Just unbelievable, I wouldn’t know what to get. Thanks again for a great podcast
Thank you so much! Yeah it is QUITE the yarn shop. 83 yarn brands! I couldn’t believe it
You are so funny! Thank you! 😅 Just thought I would mention that I also like to bring my breakfast and snacks when I travel and on my last trip te mini fridge was cool at best. I ended up buying a bag of ice (at a gas station) and the hotel gave me one of their plastic laundry bags to put it in. I rolled it up nice and tight so it wouldn’t leak and popped it at the bottom of the fridge. Between the ice and the coolness of the fridge my food stayed nice and cold for the 2 days I was there and the ice could have lasted another day. I guess it made the fridge like a plug-in cooler.
This is absolutely genius! 👌🏼
Oh my goodness. I have so enjoyed your podcast. I stumbled across it and now I’m hooked. Thanks so much for the gift ideas, the tours, and your sweaters are beautiful. Can’t wait for your next adventure.
Yay RUclips! I am so glad the algorithm caused to you swing on by! You are very welcome here to the travelling shenanigans
I always enjoy your podcast. Thank you for the Jason hat pattern suggestion. A friend gifted me some super bulky yarn, 1 skein of two different colors. Now I know what to do with them.
That is awesome! Hope it turns out absolutely perfect!
Thanks so much for taking us to the Knitting Loft , what an amazing yarn store . Your Nordic Noel Sweater is absolutely beautiful 💚🌲. Lovely to keep your brother so close to you 🩵
Thank you so much Miki!
Love to see all your adventures❤ how gorgeous your sweaters are. I do find your necklace very precious and what it means .your brother goes with you to all places
Thank you so much for travelling with me! I forgot my necklace the last time I went to work and it felt weird not having him.
All I can say about the woolly goodness is "WOW"! It was all amazing!!! Your WIPs, FOs and then The Knitting Loft! It's wool on steroids! 🧶🧶thank you so much for sharing so much! I love your maple leaf too....when I was in elementary school we would gather perfect leaves and then press them (with adult guidance) with an iron on low setting between two pieces of was paper. It preserved them for a little while....I thought about doing that the other day - could frame a collage of them....autumn is my favorite season. Stay safe Leanne in your jetting around✈
I remember doing that too! 🍁
Thank you for another great episode. I love that you and your sisters are doing a cardigan together, it’s very special ❤
Thank you! 😊 Love my sisters so much and the older I get the more I treasure them
Wonderful episode. So lovely that you made it to the Knitting Loft. I live about 1-1/2 hrs from them and never ventured through the crazy traffic to get there until last week. My girlfriend and I stayed for hours and had the best time and got the best yarn. Linda.
I could go back and spend another 3 hrs there easily!!!
This was a delightful episodes, sharing, rambling, changing light and all the other bonuses. Thank you so much for sharing.
@@patriciahill7958 aw thanks Patricia! 🫶🏼
I never thought about putting some silicone inside the colorwork thimble. I own two of them and they’re always slipping downward on my finger and in the end I don’t use them. Now I know what to do and I can’t wait to knit some color work with them. Thank you for the tip. BTW - your red scarf is stunning.❤
The silicone really helped!
Love knitting with you again sweet friend, you make me feel so happy when you take us shopping and wandering and rambling! It’s all good!🧶♥️
Oh thank you Janet! Thanks for being here. “Shopping” at The Knitting Loft virtually is safer on the budget 😂
I Love your podcasts and missed you! All your knits are wonderful. I’m proud of you too! Your handspun is beautiful! You sold me on the slipper pattern! And your green and white sweater love love love it. I really like the 2 colors. Urban shiek is a great color on you. I never knew they made charms that contain ashes. I wish I would have known and done that with some of my dad’s. What a lovely sentiment and having your brother with you. You are a sweet young lady. Thank you for sharing your knits and your life with us. Hugs ❤
(((Hugs)))) thank you for your kind message !!!
I laughed out loud when you said you spent 3 hours at the Knitting Loft because I did too when I visited. I walked away with three sweater quantities and the most amazing faux fur Pom from that fun wall display. Just yesterday I finished the second of the three sweaters. I don’t dare return until I knit through my stash some more - waaaaay too tempting. I grew up a hop skip and a jump from Kitchener - love the way your podcast sparks memories of my youth in Canada. Can’t wait for my next visit home.
It is a wonderful and very dangerous shop! So much goodness. I am glad I at least had my “Rauma” plan. The plan is to show Kitchener footage next time so hopefully you’ll see all kinds of things from your youth!
So great to see you again! Love the scenery, the knitting shop tour, the new knitting thimble/tensioner (going to look into that one), gifts, tattoo....beaded projects (that fish!!)...hope you get some good rest and we will see you next time!
@@Knit.Purl.Repeat thanks Jess!!!
It was truly lovely to spend a few minutes with you at Rhinebeck Sarah!! That footage of all that wildlife!! Truly spectacular!!!! Thank you for a lovely episode 🤗🤗
Oops I think I know who this was for! @fibertrek!
@ how did that happen!! So bizarre!! Off I go! Haven’t gotten to your gorgeous video yet my dear!! 😘😘😘
Have missed your podcasts lately. Love seeing your shares. Your journey is so inspiring w everything. From detailed notes and even food(!). 🩷🙏🏼woodland loafers, beanie. Ranunculus. TU Lee Anne! Sorry of loss of your brother.🌺
Thank you so much! ((Hugs))
Greetings from Denmark 🇩🇰… thanks for taking me along .. enjoy each and every trip of yours !!
Thank you so much for watching! 💗🍁☺️
Thank you for another great podcast Leann! I could listen to you all afternoon! Loved everything on and off your needles too. Happy Fall!
Oh thank you! Happy FALL!!! 🍁
Oh my goodness - I got that exact colourwork thimble in an order that arrived last week!! I, like you, mainly did two-handed colourwork previously but I plan on doing the Levi pullover (Sari Nordlund) next and decided to give the Clover thimble a chance! Seems perfect!👌 Love all your finished objects - thanks, as always🥰
So cool! Love that sweater design. Let me know how it goes with your Clover thimble’
Thank you so much for sharing all your yarny goodness always a pleasure watching your podcast. ❤
Thank you so much Patricia! ☺️👌🏼💗
Loved your trip.. thanks for
So glad! Thank you Sue 💗
Not that I have plans to go to Toronto, but the shop was incredible!
If you ever get remotely close to the area I HIGHLY recommend! But have a plan and someone to help 😂
Leanne, you make me laugh at your antics. Love your Ranunculus and the hats. A tutorial on your new clover thimble would be great. Thanks from NZ where it's a sunny spring day!
Aw thanks Emma! ☺️
Instead of alpacas on your Nordic Noel sweater, I immediately saw pinecones! I love your color choice, Leanne. It is a beautiful sweater.
Pinecones!! Yes!!
Leanne, great podcast. I love this ranunculus, the yarn is great for this. I have not made this pattern yet but now want to, never thought to use sock yarn. Couldn’t find it anywhere but I was finally led to ebay. Thanks so much for the idea, this is what is so great about podcasts.
Yay! I’m so glad you found some! Let me know how it turns out. My love for the Ranunculus has surprised me as I was late to the party and “accidentally” modified it to the point where it’s my favourite garment. Crazy!
I love the alpaca face on your test knit. Lol. Our priest has a fancy scroll design on the front of his vestements, but all I can see is a dog moteif (I'm not sure if it's Japanese, or Chinese, but I've seen this moteif quite a few times in pictures and statues, and that's what I see every time I look at him.) Not what I'm supposed to be thinking about during mass, but it makes me smile. Lol. He probably thinks I'm really enjoying the homily.
That is awesome! This makes me giggle.
Love the festive sweater!!
Thank you!! I would definitely make another!!
Great episode! Caffeinated Leanne made me laugh. I'm going to keep my eyes open for the colorwork sweater release. Gorgeous! Also, what a sweet necklace. I didn't know such a thing existed.
Haha 🤣 Aw thank you Amber! I love coffee soo much but wowzers the older I get the more sensitive I become to the caffeine. Nordic Noel should be released on Nov 15th … pattern gauge is 19sts so quick and beautiful - win win!
@theknittystew I am the same way. I do not tolerate caffeine anymore. I have switched to one cup of black tea in the morning which I tolerate well, but to drink espresso like I used to would make me a jittery, panicky mess.
Thank you for showing us your lovely makes! Love the Ranunculus. I hope you had a good break, the wool is just the best. We don’t have maples much in Australia, usually Japanese maples are grown in people’s gardens so I particularly loved the maple leaf at the very end. Cheers.
Thank you so much Christine! I want to frame that maple leaf 🍁!
Oooh, lots of pretty things. I love that cable hat. It was great to see you again.
Thank you! 😊
Another great podcast. Always enjoy watching 🧶 Your shawl and your colour choice are both stunning!!
Thank you so much Colleen!
I have a yarn guide similar to yours. As a continental knitter I enjoy using it. Unfortunately, when I got ready to do Framed, I couldn’t find it! Good to see you 😊
I need to order about 5 of them to have handy in every nook and cranny!!
I am always happy to see you. Love all of your projects and your purchases.
Thank ewe 🐑!!!
In the US Loops & Threads Cozy Merino is now called Luxe Merino but it seems to be the same, and it's at Michaels. There's also a tweed version
OoOo!!!
What a lovely yarn store. Thank you for sharing these patterns, I was looking for something like the Fri!
Wonderful! Let me know how they turn out!
You managed to do it again! Thanks so much for this delight ✨See you soon, Leanne 🍄🍁🍂🧶🤎🧡
Thank you I am thrilled you keep coming back!
Lovely
💕
