I enjoyed your podcast very much! I’d love to hear more about your shop; how did you come about to own a yarn shop, what yarns you carry, a tour of the shop. I am also interested in your design process and, lastly; how did you (an American) come to live in New Zealand & what you like about it.

I was curious about the sweater you are wearing

[samantha-wtfc]

You can definitely wear that yellow sweater - it makes your skin look wonderfully golden! I'd say continue, don't frog it. :)

Hi Alana. I loved your first podcast. You’re a natural on the camera. I loved all your WIP.
And I’d love to see your wool shop

[mairaurena]

I will love to see a tour of your yarn shop and learn about the yarns you carry. Also I will love to know more about your knitting journey and what you were wearing, it’s a beautiful one and I love love the colors on it. Looking forward to seeing you soon 😊

Wonderful first podcast, so exciting to see our yarns and patterns shown, I would love you to talk about the sweaters you wear in the podcast. 🎉

Really love to hear more about NZ wool and dyers. Great podcast.

This is a great debut vlog.
I’m looking forward to seeing more of your episodes. You have beautiful knits and colors.

I thought I recognised your beautiful shop right at the very start of this podcast! I visited earlier in the year from Melbourne. What a fabulous podcast, so engaging and informative. Love all your wips, its an eclectic range of knits! I'd love a shop tour and maybe more info on NZ wools. The colours in your shop look so beautiful behind you. Thank you for a great podcast, Im looking forward to your next.

1st episode was good. Lighting was fine for both am and pm. I feel like we all go back and forth between shawls and sweaters. I would agree about the mustard color yarn. I would frog it and keep the yarn for another sweater or another part of a swester. I like the color but right up against your face it is a little light. I'm glad you added the note in comments to say what you were wearing. It's always a good thing to start off with. I will tell you that if you want someone to test your sock pattern I would volunteer (as I'm sure most anyone would volunteer even if it has not been tech edited). I like toe up better and do magic loop so either eay I will be one the lookout for your pattern when it's ready. I have not figured out the best heel yet for my fit. I like the look of the Knus Light. Will look up the pattern. I've never seen it before. Ok..again, good 1st episode! Subscribed and will be happy to watch and listen to you talk more knitting. Shop, technique, patterns, things you finished 10 years ago, how they hold up, etc.

This is fabulous! You're a natural. Your new Maeve design is wonderful. Yay you!

[dianeazzopardi]

I really enjoyed your podcast. Looking forward to your next one.

Great podcast! A shop tour would be fun! I’d also like to see the outside of the shop and the neighborhood the shop is in ❤ I love to have the whole picture 😊

Hi Alanna!
Welcome to the podcasting world! Wow you've done such a fantastic job with your first video (it's not fair, you know, most of us had pretty amateur first videos :))) But you look like a pro. Well done!
I loved seeing all your wips. I also have been admiring the sweater that you're wearing and it looks stunning with the wonderful colours that you've chosen - they look so fresh on you! I hope you will also show us some of your previous FOs - I'm sure there are some that you're most proud of? Also it would be so amazing to see like a special episode focusing on all the patterns that you've designed. It'll be very interesting to see them all!
Congratulations, my friend!
You're a real star.
Marina

Hi Alannah, Loved your podcast and so glad I came across it. Keep going on your Marie Wallin knit - It is so beautiful and I'd love to see it in RL one day so that I can experience her colour blends in her own yarn. I love hearing about the yarns in your shop. It's all so interesting! Thank you so much for sharing!🙂

[Helen_Amt]

Yeey! I thought I recognize the spot you were filming from, and yes, that's THE shop I've been personally too! :) Please share more of new yarns, NZ wool, living in NZ, picking yarn for different projects (i.e. for a spring weather: what type of yarn would you choose for a top? ) Lovely to see the face behind the business, and so glad you decided to film for us :)

[ravenbelote]

You have a lovely shop. Thank you for sharing your wips. You’ve done beautiful work on all of them, and have inspired me to try some knitted animals. They’re super cute…😊✨

[kellyfazekas]

Your sweater looks beautiful on you! The color of the "vines" at the top and bottom bring out the color of your hair and seem to glow. Beautiful!

[stephaniewilliams]

I would love a shop tour and see more of your designs.

[jcafardi]

I really enjoyed your podcast! Great background, lovely patterns and color choices. I love how you insert photos, extra videos…. Makes a great video podcast.

I’d love to hear more about you and your yarn store!
