Mexico City! Wow! Frida Kahlo museum...Icing on the Cake! Beautiful flavor of Mexico...Thanks, Selma!

Thank you Selma for the lovely tour of Mexico City...so great to see the world this way. Enjoy your Advent projects. xxx
thank you for the tour of M.C. lovely to see the mix of old and modern architecture keep taking care xxxx
Today I've wandered the streets of Paris with Clara Parkes, heard all about Newfoundland with Andrea and Madeline and now meandered the streets of Mexico City with Selma. Knitting has brought the world into my home. Places I may never have seen otherwise. Thank you, Selma! I always enjoy your podcasts and the walks you take us on, not to mention the knitting inspiration.

Wow Mexico City looks amazing! Thank you for sharing with us. It’s gorgeous, I can see why you would want to go back.
Thanks for the heads up about Kate. I found you through her podcasts so I am off to say welcome back to her. Have a wonderous holiday season.
Mexico City looks like a fabulous place to explore. And, as it cools down here in Michigan, I’m ready for a trip! Thanks for showing that footage.
Love your mannerisms and easy listening voice ♥️ Your vest is lovely and look forward to seeing your current wips develop!Thank you Selma.
Thank you Selma. Love the vest. Really enjoyed the Mexico bit. Looking fotward to Kate's vlogs

Thanks for the knitting updates, and I really enjoyed the Mexico City footage! I’ve never been, but now I want to go! It looks like a beautiful city!
Thanks for the trip down memory lane. We spent two days in Mexico City a few years ago before continuing on to San Miguel de Allende. We also loved the city. By the way Leanne flies with Westjet I believe. If you don't podcast before Christmas have a nice one.
Thank you for your lovly inspirational podcast 😍🌹love from Gurli in Norway 🇳🇴🌹
Your leg warmers are fantastic! I’m definitely making a pair. I wear dresses and tights with a bit of a walk from my train to the office in Chicago! Such a practical item! ❤
Quite enjoyed the podcast and Yoda is so pretty 😍 I'm glad she joined for a bit! I'm impressed with the vest from petite knit, usually not ta fan of white stuff but it's very elegant. 😊 I enjoyed the Mexico interlude immensely! 🎶 💕

Great podcast! I really enjoyed your Mexico footage. I’ve been to many areas in Mexico (close by in California), in central Mexico, Guanajuato and San Miguel Allende and many coastal towns. Never been to DF but have heard many good things. The music you picked just enhanced the footage. Gracias!

There is a lovely young knitter from Ontario whose podcast is KuriaKnits. She has a short episode relating her experience of trying to get on a flight in England with her knitting needles. It's about 4mths ago, entitled something like "how I had to knit to get through security "....worth a watch 😁

Your vest turned out great. It is funny bc one of the reasons I hesitated to Cast On Stockholm Slipover was the somehow v-neck shaped neckline. So I created my own pattern, knitted bottom up, as it is easier to get shaping right for occasional, personal designs. I have enjoyed seeing Mexico City, very interesting mix of architecture and rich culture.
This podcast is a real treat on early Sunday morning here in the Netherlands! I always get inspired by your projects. So in love with your red Ranunculus!
Thank you Selma for the gorgeous pictures of Mexico 🇲🇽
Thank you for such wonderful content and sharing Mexico City. What a joy to be able to see how awesome it is.

What a beautiful cat. I love gray cats. I did see Kate from Harthorn cottage very happy to see Kate back.
I really like the Stockholm Slipover and now I am smitten with the Adelita vest. Love that red you working with for the Ranunculus sweater! And the images of Mexico City were wonderful. I particularly enjoyed the song La Paloma Linda. Thank your for all your sharing.

Thank you so much Selma for your podcasts (which I have watched since before you had your own podcast). I watch for your videos every 3 wks -month. This time I am particularly grateful for your shots of Mexico City. I have long wanted to visit Mexico, but never will now (in this lifetime). I am particularly thankful for the many architectural shots since it (and botanical gardens) are things which particularly speak to me. Living in easy reach of Washington D.C., architecture is particularly important to me - or at least I notice it a lot. Thank you so much. Also, you almost have me interested in knitting the ranunculas - I have lonngg resisted. I love the blue-green socks as well.

Hey Selma. Glad you had safe travels to Mexico and back. I love your Red Ranunculus. I know I was late coming to the Ranunculus party and it was after the pattern sizing had changed. I had no idea what size to make and made the size 5 and it was way too sloppy big to be wearable. I need to frog it and do it again. I had been told that if you want to make it from the original size that would be the size 2 in the new pattern. I really have no idea. I hope a few people will comment about that.

I believe it would be size 3 actually. Luckily it is such a quick knit so it’s not as great an investment as if it were another pattern.

Hi Selma, in Britain we say pukka (pronounced puckah) to mean something which is real and good or genuine. I think the word comes from India, maybe Hindi. Pukka is a British company. Also Twinings is a British company which was started by the Twinings (pronounced Twine ings) family in the seventeenth century! I love my tea too especially Earl Grey and Lapsang Souchong 🥰
