Great podcast.... Isn’t knitting with your daughter the best! My daughter and I will often knit the same project together. So lucky to share this with her.

hi there, leslie - the excitement of your daughter wanting to knit again could, i'm sure, be felt by everyone watching! i like your “library card” idea. you cracked me up when you pulled out your new stamp - it made your plan complete! 😄

[tacianasimmons]

I love your podcasts and have been watching them since the beginning and I find myself laughing sometimes because I do so many of the same things you mention that you do … including I also have a library card for my Lykke needles and my crochet needles because I end up loosing them … I was smiling as if I was talking to you right in my living room. I don’t have the library stamp but you made me seriously think about buying one to make it even more fun. Thank you for being such a great inspiration and I am loving to have “a friend to knit with”. 💖

Omg Leslie! I just discovered your channel. I used to religiously follow your blog years ago and I loved it. So good to see you here. I’ll be watching and loving every minute. ❤️❤️

So great to see your beautiful faces toast mits are still on my list to knit before the end of the chilly season! I love the heart on the palm 🤍

The library stamp checkout idea is awesome. I have been going crazy with all my needles in sips but nor remembering what has what and this is an awesome idea

[mjrdjr]

I always enjoy your podcast. The library card is such a great way to keep track of your needles. I have used a sticky note but your idea for the library card is so much better. I, too, enjoy looking at the library check out cards. Stay safe and am looking forward to your next podcast.

Great podcast, sweaters and toast mitts. I too loved the "library check out/in system" for your needles. Always great to see (virtually) you!

[CasualKnitter]

I love all the mits, they are birthday sprinklers indeed, all look delicious 😋

[lynnkoscher]

Love love your library card checkout system too cute. ❤️ I always remember how to pronounce Lykke needles from a yarn shops owner who said pretend you have a Rhode Island accent and want to go the “liquor” store but drop the “r”. Since I grew up in New England it was an easy way to remember. 😀

Oh my word! The library card!! I even have a library card project bag. But the card!! It’s such an AWESOME idea! I’m totally going to use this system! Thanks for the tip!

[jeansavoy]

Thank you so much for the free patterns. My niece is always cold and she is going to love them. I love your “ checkout” system....so simple, great idea 💡

[meadowsweetfarmfiberartsdesign]

That's a brilliant idea re the stamp/library checkout system! I'm a total bibliophile, so I'm inspired :D Thanks Leslie! Also, finally - somebody has knit and shown off a finished Mousseux! It's stunning, might have to knit this up sooner than I planned!

[belindafernandes]

Your podcasts are always so interesting! Great ideas and patterns..
So happy that your daughter has renewed her interest in knitting!! So exciting for you..
Love your sweater your wearing you look so cute in all your knits!
I am starting over on my triangle wrap! Just in time to slip those stitches.. thanks

[kathy]

I recently had your podcasts recommended to me by one of my knitting friends so I’m now watching them from the beginning and loving them! That tip about the library card was 💡 brilliant! I have so many WIPs and have bought extra needle sets(yes I said sets 🤷‍♀️)because I can’t find the correct size and it’s such a pain to dig through all of my bins…today am making library cards 🥰. I also miss the old stamped library cards that were fun to look at.

[fazzybear]

Hi Leslie! I'm going back and watching the episodes published before I found you! I too loved the library cards! I'm an avid reader and a Reading Specialist & always thought I was the only one who found the handwritten checkout cards interesting. I have some old ones that I use for bookmarks now. I'll def. use your idea as I can never find those needles either.

[elainemorrison]

Leslie, you are a friend ! Your suggestion to knit what you love was timely. I have now ditched the yarn that was not giving me any joy; only knitting it up out of "duty". 
I have been watching your podcasts since the beginning. I've enjoyed them all and learned something... like today's tip with the library card. That's fun!. Here is a long over-due thank you.
Also thanks for being so generous with your patterns.

[anarolls]

It was nice to find your prodcast 😊. Love your aesthetics. Also your bracelets.

[josandie]

Love the library card idea - and stamping it 😊 what fun 🤗
