What a lovely, refreshing podcast! You just appeared today on my YT recommendations, and I'm chuffed- I love your sparkle and your projects 🤩Looking forward to watching your Nova Scotia episode this afternoon whilst knitting on my self-draughted mittens (hopefully they will keep me warm during my winter concerts in French churches and chapels). See you soon!

Had to go back to your 1st podcast after seeing 2024 episodes! I also still have some MacAuslands yarn that I purchased there in 1998. Still have a few different colours in stash so will watch future episodes to see if you made the Cara. From a fellow Canadian who moved from the GTA to Niagara region several years ago. Wondering what favourite LYS you are referring to ….. thanks for a great episode!

Hi there! I'm can't recall the exact LYS. My favourites are The Knitting Loft and Eweknit. There are so many exciting options in the city!
Welcome to Nova Scotia Jennifer! You will not need any of those sweaters here in NS right now as it is Hot and humid. Terence bay is just down the road from me. I am sure you made it to Peggy's Cove by now😊. Hope you make it down the south shore to all our beautiful beaches and towns like Chester, Mahone Bay (Woolworks yarn shop), Lunenburg, Shelburne , Liverpool...and beyond. Have a great trip!🥰, Sharon.

You are a natural. I love how adventurous you are with your knitting. Can’t wait to see your progress and travels. I’m in Arizona. The weather has been consistently over 110 for the past several weeks. This is the first year that I’ve started knitting “summer” garments. Only to be worn in deep air conditioned buildings. My heart really lies with wool knitting. I love the yarn and process even though they don’t get much use.

Loved your episode! Can’t believe it’s your first. I am looking forward to following along on your knitty travel adventures. Your Amy slip over is very cool. I think you will have lots of fun wearing it. I am watching from the very hot sunny interior of BC. I have been knitting forever (about 65 years). I knit sweaters for my boyfriend and I as a teen, but then only knit baby sweaters, kids sweaters, hats and mitts for the next 63 years, so am definitely a newby to garment knitting and started knitting socks during COVID. I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks, but I have much to learn before I go rogue on a sweater pattern lol!

How lovely that I found your channel. I live on a farm, a half hour west of London, Ontario. We are also in the process of exploring the Eastern provinces. I have seen all of the Western provinces, but my husband hasn't seen any of it, so we decided to start with the Eastern side of the country. Just not all at once like you are doing. (I did do the western provinces all at once though, as well as separately.) so far we have been to Quebec, PEI, and New Brunswick. Nova Scotia (Annapolis Valley region specifically is next on our list.) I love bringing my knitting along for the ride too. So your vlog is right down my alley. You are a natural, so I'm really looking forward to watching your vlogs .

Loved your first podcast. I love Alison Rendall as a designer and have knitted her beanies. She is a very tight knitter and though I am not a loose knitter, my lovely beanie was too wide for my head. Yours looks very large also so try it on. When I knit her designs again, I’ll do one or two repeats less in the pattern. Happy traveling.

I live in coastal NC (US) and in our county the area to our east is called Down East so you alerted me when you referenced it. We have far more warm weather than cold weather. So this year I had an epiphany about my wooly knits. They were getting very little love. So my focus has shifted to plant based yarns.

Beautiful knits and colour choices 💮 Do you find the Briggs and Little a bit scratchy next to skin? OTOH, B&L makes fantastic warm socks more like a double knit weight, which get cozier with each washing. A good thing for Canadian winters, eh?
