OMG! Wow Amanda, you and I share the same birth date (April 30th) and same zodiac animal (tiger). I couldn’t think of a nicer and more talented person to share a birth date with!

Thanks for sharing! ❤

Hi Amanda! I’m so enjoying your podcasts! I love that you are a fellow Maritimer:) I’ve been watching a few of your podcasts and love them all. I really enjoyed your fashion show of all your knitted projects! It inspired me to put a few on my to do’s list. Thank you 💕

Yay for your sock knitting mojo! I love how your beautiful colourways have knit up in the socks you have showed, your yarns are so beautiful! Its so good to knit with you again Amanda and happy birthday for Friday!

Enjoyed your podcast, my first from you. It's so great to find other Canadians among all the US, UK, Denmark, Iceland, etc. knitters around YouTube! I'm still not sold on socks, I'm trying shorties next, maybe it'll change my mind. You're very lucky to have so many crafting friends! I know zero people who knit and my friends think I've become weird during COVID restrictions by taking up knitting. Love it, though, and I won't stop.

Love all the yarns you showed us. I’m a sock knitter too and always have 4 or 5 in various stages.

It was lovely seeing you podcast again. Your knitted socks are wonderful gifts. I recommend The Autumn Acorn's (Judy Jewell) Magic Heel Socks (in fingering and in DK) as a change up from heel and gusset. I bought a Homespun House 2020 Advent calendar and will be knitting the Cozy Comfort Throw. I have already ordered your 2021 Advent calendar and am looking forward to dream knitting a pattern with your yarn!

Good to see you Amanda! I always enjoy your podcasts ~ I smile the whole time! Thank you for sharing your projects, ideas & suggestions. I love your yarn & your many happy colors & names. Your yarn is being worn all across Canada as I enjoy knitting scarves, neck warmers & shawls with it for my family/friends coast to coast. Happy early bday! I hope you enjoy a really awesome day & upcoming year! 💃🌷🍷

It’s so great to see what you’re been up to. Your blankets are gorgeous! I’m glad to hear your arm has heeled. Oh-oh, you tried Chiagoo. LOL. I alway tell people once you try them you’ll never go back. LOL. I was always a Hiya Hiya girl too until I tried Chiagoo. Now I hate when I have to use my Hiya Hiyas. It’s the cord. Chiagoo’s is just so amazing. I actually use the mini cord and have the adapter to use it with approximately the 2mm-5mm needles. Because I do magic loop I find it so perfect. So flexible and no memory. I sound like I sell them. LOL. I have converted two of my friends to Chiagoos. We have one other friend that swears by her Hiya Hiyas and always so to her, great, just don’t ever try the Chiagoos then or you’ll never go back. LOL. Xoxo

I just came across your podcast and love you! You had me at you love “brown”! No one else seems to care for the brown palette. Your work is lovely. I have begun following you and can’t wait for more. I can’t wait to shop w/you. Your yarn looks awesome. I also love Chelsea yarns! We seem to have a lot in common. I’m glad to have found you. For that Kahuna how about a shawl for you and your bestie! Happy Happy early Birthday! Be well, Karen

Just ordered a skein each of your lovely roll in the hay and crazy plant lady yarn. One is for me and the other - the crazy plant lady (which sounds an awful lot like me 😎), i’m thinking of using to make some fingerless gloves as a bday gift for a dear friend.

Gorgeous shorties and the colors are amazing. 💕💕
