    Your podcast was just what I needed today. My beautiful cat Alfie died just after midnight and we buried him in the garden at 6 o,clock this morning. He was nearly 20 and the bravest and most loving companion. All my knitting had a bit of Alfie knitted in because he was always on my lap. He particularly liked your podcasts because of your soothing voice and the lovely music. So thank you Katie. X

    Oh so sorry to hear that. It’s very hard, I lost my cat a few months ago. Hopefully you can work through the grieving process with ease. Not without its down days, but knowing you gave him a fantastic 20 years will hopefully help.

    Oh I loved this episode. Your lichen drawings are amazing. Yes, you can create your own residency program, no matter how long it is. The lichen sweater is gorgeous. When you showed the yarn I thought it was white or cream when you were knitting but then I could see it was a green which makes sense for lichens. I once took a dye class where we dyed with lichens and that was fascinating. I had a project more than 20 years old. It was a Norwegian sweater. I had knit the main part of the sweater but not the sleeves. I would pull intjout if storage very few years and think I should knit those sleeves. I did that in 2021. I finally have this beautiful sweater to wear. I think if the sweater part has been half knitted I would have frogged it. So looking forward to seeing you in that finished cardigan.

    Katie: Love how you embrace our world! Your work is so inspiring. I love lichens too because they are intriguing as well as beautiful shades of mild colors that I find calming. They are texture that I can never resist touching one little edge. Probably should not touch. In college, one science class covered all the kingdoms and families, and so on. We had to complete a leaf collection. I got into this project because I love nature. My leaves had bark, seeds, flowers, etc with the identification cards. Some barks had lichens; I couldn’t resist. My barks were collected off the ground❤️

Your vignettes would make a great print on a green/grey/brown teatowel. Or maybe a minibook. Anyway, lovely to see you Katie, and lovely to see you shaping and enjoying different projects.

    I love your Artist in Residence project - beautiful work - I am sure they will bring 100 joys to many. Culottes - wow that's a great idea - I made a whole load in the 80's and loved wearing them. My favourite looked like a skirt and had essentially a box pleat that ran into the gusset...all good fun and so easy to wear. Recently I referenced you in my Steeking video - that's how I found you - I broke the rules and steeked superwash wool - havent blocked it yet...you are a very inspiring artist thank you .

    I have to admit I am rather saddened and surprised that you took that stick inside with lichen living on it. Did you not realise that some lichen, if not all, would die inside? Lichen have to be treated with extreme care. Was the stick kept in a terrarium, misted regularly to keep the humidity near 50% and with several hours of indirect sunlight every day? Probably not judging from you saying you put it back outside when the weather was damp. I am rather disappointed that you are quite happy to watch, and document in your drawings, the slow death of the lichen. Do you really think your "observational project" is worth the killing of the subject?
