Loved all the sweaters but in particular your Mom’s😍 I know the podcast is time consuming and hard to fit in a busy schedule, but know that it is a bright spot in many lives and much appreciated. My goodness! your hats....don’t know how you find the time to do all the things. Stay well and safe need your light 💞

Thank you for the code. You can always do a bit of baking. I love to learn about the different customs for holidays. I love when you light the advent Sunday Candles and when you opened your advent calendars - especially that little paper one with the animals. You could take little snipits of you decorating for the holidays or social distancing walking around showing us the wintry sights. It was a really good episode. Glad you took the time to record. Stay safe and be well. xx

I’ve been trying to watch this episode for three days now! I keep being interrupted, or my daughters teacher is ill... and just now my daughter had an accident and we needed to have her finger checked by the doctor. Thank goodness it’s not broken. But I’ve made it to the end now! 🎉 and left a comment too 😜

Eli thanks again for such an entertaining podcast. I love the newsletter popping up in my inbox. I agree about commercial patterns. When I was learning to knit a long time ago(1970s and 80s ) they gave me the impression that knitting was difficult. The worst one was seeing the phrase At the same time. When I started getting independent patterns I found the “handholding “ strange at first but soon came to appreciate how easy it made the process and so my knitting was more enjoyable and fun. I love the new Sweaters you have made for gifts for your mum and sister. I always leave comments on my favourite podcasts as I think if someone has put so much time and effort into creating content for me to enjoy its nice to show my appreciation Can’t wait for Vlogmas. The candle poem is one of my favourite things x

Always a pleasure to watch your podcast! The hat collection is a super cool idea! Those hats can be used swatches before making the garments. 😂 Love it!

Your podcast Bad became a regular for me. I really enjoy it and learned alot.

Thanks Eli, for another lovely podcast. As always your honest words are so appreciatet!

[lesliehamilton]

Your mom and sister are very lucky sweater recipients! Love your Christmas sweater. I’m looking forward to your Advent Blogmas.

Love your videos and really looking forward to vlogmas. I have not been a comment leaver until now but now I know what it means to podcasters I do it whenever I can and have found its fun to be part of the community rather than just watching from the sidelines.

Thanks Eli for showing the Sashiko it's beautiful and I have already purchased the pattern, after purchasing your hat collection. I was intrigued by the construction and can't wait to cast it on. You always inspire me to try something new and that's what I'm about. Keep doing what you do, I for one, love it.

I'm from the USA and had a massive headache on the 28th the day I watched you. I so understand and I don't know how you were able to podcast although you did a wonderful job. I do enjoy what you do and hope to do a colored sweater someday. Your sister's sweater is beautiful. I really want to try it. Thank you for this podcast and for many more. Try a strong cup of coffee next time for your HA. LOL

I love all of your episodes, as you may know. I think I also mention you in every singel episode I make myself. As a Norwegian I think it is very interesting to watch how you bring our traditions and yarn to the world and the way you mix it with everything else, like I really think all tradition should do. A nice variation and adaption! Digital hugs from the countryside not far away from the town you can not visit for Christmas - Merete

Always enjoy seeing your projects and hearing you chat about them, thanks for another great episode!

[deborahlunn]

Great podcast Eli. Love your patterns. Have a good week 😎🇦🇺

[ThreeCatsYarn]

Thanks for your episode. I’m so in love with the sweater 🦌

[annieoannie]

That sweater is amazing. I only crochet, but I am so impressed by your sweater in the thunbnail!

[Willyum]

I have been a long time admirer of Bristol ivy. Thanks for showcasing her pattern. Just beginning to knit hats so your patterns are on my maker list too.

[elinarlowry]

Your hat patterns are lovely. I've added several to my Ravelry queue. Such an inspiration!

[gaildawkins]

Love that jumper so much and I have the hat collection..., ❤️.. You can never have too many👌🏽🎩

[donnapreston]

Love love love the hat patterns I want them all even though we are getting into hot weather here in Oz. The Christmas sweater is just gorgeous but again no need for it here as Christmas Day could be 40 degrees! Great video Eli 😁
