Selma I loved your knitting story, so wonderful to have your Mother's knits, they would be still stylish today. The porcelain and paintings your Grandmother and Mother crafted are also amazing. To have and treasure, passed down through the generations. Goes without saying, your knits are always so beautiful. 🤗

The sweater you are wearing is so beautiful, Selma. And I love your new blue/greyish bag.🥰 Wow, how amazing it is to have those knitted pieces of yout mother.🥰

Lovely knits and yarns. Love that you have your mother's and grandmother's work. How special. Thank you for sharing. Have fun in Mexico.

Oh my word...Selma I was totally gobsmacked to hear my name and see it on the screen..thank you so much..I just love that little hen..will send you a message. I just love your lace knits in this podcast. Thanks once again..xxx

Thank you so much for sharing your knitting story and especially the lovely painted pieces that your Mom and Grandmother did! ❤️

The big safety pin on your new bag goes in through the 2 holes in the front of the bag. What an heirloom you have in your mother’s suit!!❤

Beautiful video. The lovely objects you show inspire gentle and warm manner. Thank you for sharing your time and gracious kindness with the rest of us.

The lace legwarmers are not as warm, I knitted Alpaca Sox Legwarmers by Pam Allen but use them over leggins, not nylons. They do help keeping me warm in winter. Selma, thanks for sharing your knitting story, it is quite touching. lovely knits and furture dream knits, you queue is almost as long as mine. 😉

Your knitting story!! 🥹 How precious! Your father's potholder!! And your mother's knits, beautiful!!! What a knitting story! And mohair at 14!! My grandmother crocheted and always sent us slippers at Xmas. But for me, I taught myself to knit at 20 when I knit a crude, seamed pullover for my first child. I finished it but who knows what happened to it. Life got too busy! Then fast forward to 2001, I found a Lions Brand magazine at Joanne's Fabric, on the anatomy of a knitted sock. I bought it and taught myself to knit socks and more! The rest is history! What a lovely podcast today. Thank you for sharing the love of this wonderful craft!❤️

Thank you doe sharing your time and your future knitting projects. I truly enjoy your podcast and seeing your lovely knits.

I love all of your projects! Safe travels. You really have treasures in the porcelain pieces you have. How beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

What a Wonder Full visit , Selma ! Gorgeous knitting as usual. Your Heirloom knits are STUNNING ~ and that you have them is truly priceless - in remarkable shape , winning the test of time. Just Fabulous Thank ,you for sharing them I must say that I gasped at the Beauty of your also heirloom painted pieces. Just Breathtaking actually. The talent and refinement is really something to behold. Again , thank you for sharing these treasures. Congratulations to Ursula , indeed. All the best to you, safe travels. marcia

Your Petrie leaves sweater is exquisite. I love the dela q bag. I have one I was gifted about 10 years ago, and it has aged so well. I look forward to seeing your completed cardigan. Megan’s is beautiful and fits her perfectly. Your mother’s items are amazing and so well preserved.

Great episode. I loved hearing your knitting story and about your mom. That's so neat. I'm the same with handbags. I wish I was able to trade them out but.. I like what I like. Thank you so much! - Kimberly

I'm 70 years old, and when I was 9 years old, my step-Mother bought yarn and needles for her self and me and when knit stocking hats. Her's turned out perfect, my had a funny point at the top! I stopped knitting, my Step-Mom kept knitting. She graduated into machine knitting. And I remember being on a trip and she seeing this knit dress in a store window. She went home, drafted her own pattern and made the dress. I still have that dress and all the other things she knitted for her self and for me. I love looking at them, they have wonderful memories with them. I think you and I were lucky.

I made the Vair as my Rhinebeck sweater this year and had never steeked before… there is a lot going on in this sweater re lace, colourwork, short rows, steeks, major sleeve pick up of stitches but the instructions are amazing and I ran into zero issues…steeking was fun!

hello Selma, the Moorland mittens by Tania Barley (raverlry) is a pattern for mittens knitted with nutiden. she recommends 160 m . I did not knit them but saw it on the Knitting in the dark-podcast. thanks for your joyfull and inspiring podcast!

You will start a fashion trend with your beautiful leg warmers. I’m sure people will ask you to knit them for them, LOL. Another possible Gift Knit. The cold is coming soon then later.

I’m making an orange and brown sweater right now and I love it.

I love your knitting story! It so enjoyable was this episode! Best wishes for your journey to Mexico City!

Beautiful podcast as always Selma, the Jumper you are wearing looks lovely on you 😊

Yay! You found the perfect red for your Christmas Ranunculus!

You mentioned that you haven’t steeked before. I just finished my first steeked sweater - I looked at a lot of tutorials before I did it. I found the Tin Can Knits article/tutorial to be very helpful.

Thank you again and Always ... such a refuge - listening, viewing ... your truly gracious manner and cheerful time away for a bit in the midst of Life pressssing in ... threatening to rob joy - I also appreciate the pace, the detailed presentations and the beeeutiful colors - the red Christmas sweater and the purple pressed flower plans surely welcome both seasoned and new knitters - Safe travels to and fro - Kind regards, looking forward to each and every podcast, Margot in California

I made a Felix pullover out of just a little over 2 plates of Plutolopi so you should be able to get mittens out of one!

How wonderful that you have those knitted heirlooms from your Mother, and also the beautiful ceramics from your Grandmother. Priceless ! I was taught to knit aged 8 by my Father, although he didnt knit himself, he knew how to do it. My Mother was the active knitter . She always had a rogue stitch that shouldn't be there, but she would leave her mistake intact as her " trademark ". She would say it was deliberate :) Her name was Dorothy, and if myself or my sister find a mistake in our knits, we say we have "done a Dotty " 😄 xxx

Lovely podcast...have you seen Miss Evil Knits Hwila Mittens? They are worked in Nutiden but plutolopi would work fine. I used 55 grams of the MC. It is more of a recipe than a specific pattern, see her video on youtube. I love these mittens, they fit so well. I wrote some notes on Ravelry...mbknits. I really must make more!

I love your podcasts! Really look forward to them as we have similar taste. I just started a Stockholm Slipover also. I think it will be great for hiking. Another good vest is Ravello. I have made 2. Made from Rowan felted tweed it is gorgeous and light. The sweater you are wearing is really lovely. Love the colour. ~

Legwarmers are the BEST!!! I wear 95% skirts just bcs I love them and I pull out my cashmere leg warmers every winter for the last 15 years! I can’t live without them! You’re the second person who makes a pair with Briggs & Little yarn, now I need a pair too! ❤❤❤

That cayenne pepper color is absolutely gorgeous 😍

What a beautiful episode Selma. Your fall walk was so colourful and I love the music you chose. That is a lovely shade of green on you. I think I might try those leg warmers. Good for wearing skirts in winter! Have fun in Mexico!

Really enjoyed this! Thanks for showing the china painting! The colorful leaves at your feet were just mind blowing beautiful! I love your new green sweater and hearing how you learned to knit!

Such a lot of beautiful colors this time. I am really looking forward to see your upcoming projects. I have made the Vair, with the stripes and it is not as bad as it looks in the book. You read a bit, but its like most other sweaters, so it will be easy as soon as you start. Smiles from a Norwegian podcaster

What great memories to have your mothers items. My neighbor taught me to knit because my mother and grandmothers did not knit.

I’m making the heartwood sweater in plotulopi. It’s almost finished and I have still a little bit left off my second plate. I used a single strand. I think one plate is enough for mittens

thanks for sharing Selma! Love all your makes and especially your knitting stories. Enjoy your trip!

The Frida Kahlo museum is great and the craft market in Coyoacán is also very good. If you can manage to go to the museum on a Saturday, take a taxi over to nearby San Angel; the Saturday art (and craft) market is wonderful. Also in San Angel is a lovely museum in an old home and a convent with very scary mummies in the crypt! Incidentally, I don't think Diego Rivera's studio is worth the visit; go to San Angel on Saturday instead.

Wow! So many wonderful projects, love the leg warmers. Your mother and grandmothers porcelain art- so beautiful- real treasures! I have such fond memories of knitting with my mum, still miss her a lifetime later. The scenery reminded me of a time my youngest daughter, who was just graduated from Carlton and had moved to the attic of an old house near the Natural History Museum. We rented bikes and rode on a path by the canal to attend the Tulip Festival. I have never ridden a bike since (rickety arthritis old knees), but it is a lovely memory of a great time with my girl all grown up! Enjoy Mexico City- such a beautiful city, steeped in history!
