A knitting adjacent podcast? I talk a lot about wool, but also food, canning, gardening, board games, and pretty much anything else that's taking up my headspace at the moment.
I was always THE ONE who got all the mosquitos bites until I met my wife and oldest kid-I literally will get zero if they’re around. It’s bananas. Mosquitos caused me serious issues my whole life until now 😅
Just had to pause 28 min in to observe: omg, you said Uff da!! I've never heard you say this before but it warms my soul so much because with my Norwegian-Canadian heritage, I just grew up hearing this a lot from my mom and aunties. ❤❤❤
Good morning! I’ve always felt a little weird about commenting. I was SO EXCITED (sorry about the shouting) to see that you’re enjoying women’s rugby sevens! It’s the only sport I’ve tried myself. Went great right up until I discovered that I have hyperflexible knees. I became the official Keg Mom during my rugby experience in college. I just love watching it still. Enjoy!
Finding the UV modesty bathing suits was a game changer for me. I'm comfortable swimming again because I'm covered & not turning into a boiled lobster in 5 minutes. Gen Con sounds like zero fun to me too. Too much noise, fries the brain circuits. The idea of it is lovely, and I hope everyone has a great time. All my friends are at Pennsic right now, and while I've loved Pennsic the times I've gone, the idea of going now is like "oh hellz no." So yeah. That. Yay event organizers! It's hard on whatever level you do it on. I always love the idea of cross stitch & embroidery, but when it comes to the actual doing thereof, I've discovered that I am far more of an instant gratification kind of person, hence spinning, painting & that sort of thing.
You should create an Amazon store front. All the things you have recommended over the years I would tots get it from your store front. Love the cast long time watcher first time caller. LOL no one gets that joke anymore
Amy Beth, thank you for the tip on how you “do” the stitching on your needlepoint. I also like to do the sew method when I cross stitch, but some stitches are wonky. Going back perpendicular to the cloth is something I’ve never thought of! I think that will help the projects.
Hello Amy Beth, Just found your channel and you are so much fun to watch. You find so many things to talk about and you have so much talent in your speaking and crafts. I have to go back and watch more of your videos. Love love that cross stitch rooster. Would you be willing to sell the pattern ? Or borrow? Thank you Barbara
I forgot to mention the Olympic gymnast Fredrick Richard is from my town! (Did I know this fact before my sister who lives in Virginia told me? Maybe not. 😂)
Happy Birthday! 🎈💐🎈For a second I thought the one yarn color was “Oh Crud”, and thought they could find a better name than that! 😂😂😂 Always great to visit with you. Mosquitoes find me very tasty. I have After Bite pens everywhere. I’ll have to look at the Bite Away. You’ve inspired me to try counted cross stitch again, and now I want to do needlepoint! 😊
I appreciate YOU, Amy Beth... #verklempt! PS: I think I might need to also acquire that Apothefaery ramboulliet top in the Bryophyte(?) colorway...? And I'm not even a real spinner girl, yet. Darn, it's not on her website at the current moment... LOL, saved for another day!
I’ve been watching you from the beginning, or nearly. I can’t fathom how much time has passed. But I’m so appreciative of you and your weirdness. It makes me feel seen and heard. 🙂
I always enjoy listening to you! I think I could qualify as a yarn and craft santuary due to everything I have re-homed, lol. I love your way of thinking!!
I love your podcast! Happy Birthday from a fellow Leo (7/31). You made a shawl a few months ago. The shape was 3 triangles so that it sits nicely on your shoulders. I looked but can’t find the name of it. It you know off hand, please let me know. Thank you!
@@yarnhoarder awwww, thank you, friend! I must have misspoken. My birthday was at the end of June; I’m an annoying Cancer🧡🦀🧡 That shawl was Susan B Anderson’s Weight It Shawl 2 (www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/yowza-weigh-it-shawl-2)
Very much enjoyed the visit. Your spinning is lovely, and thank you for sharing all your work. It’s inspirational. You’re a magical human. I spray bites with perfume. Stings like a cluckerducker sometimes, but I’ve found it does help to take the itch away. Probably the alcohol in the perfume, so dabbing on some white spirits (I’m looking at you, vodka) might do the trick too? Thanks for having me over.
Today is my birthday. It’s been a really rough year…here you are to make me laugh and feel like it’s not just me. 🤣😂🤣 The gaming thing…my youngest son is having some major emotional/behavioral health BS going. That child (he’s actually and adult ish) walked into a video game competition in San Jose (we don’t live in San Jose…or even CA 😂)not knowing a soul. I told if he stepped in and it was too much we could leave. He didn’t leave. He competed with kind strangers. The host was amazing. He went in slightly disheveled…he’s struggling…I think the host could tell. The host was amazing to him. He invited him to join their groups online and to come back anytime he’s anywhere near. I would not have stayed. I would have just walked away. I don’t really have social anxiety but I don’t find all the stimulation pleasant. My poor kiddo has such potential when he gets through this time. Thanks for being a little weird and inviting all of us slightly off people into your home. Oh yeah, my old dog passed away a few days ago chasing a mouse. If that gives a little more insight into my emotional stability at the moment. 💔I needed your video tonight. 🌈🌈🦋🦋
If we were in the same room together, those mosquitoes wouldn’t know what to do and would probably burst! I, too, am a mosquito magnet and flea magnet which are even worse than mosquito bites….
I read that hibiscus is a natural diuretic. I have been making myself Tazo passion tea by the quarts, and it really helps, my ankles are usually horribly swollen in our heat here. It tastes good too. Your Riley Harbor looks amazing, mine is stalled.
You always put me in a certain state of mind... like in a really good way, so waaaay not complaining!! I love where my whole person is, when I watch your videos. It's like we aren't even in this time, or place. The world as it is doesn't exist in your podcast time. (When I watch it, I mean.) thank you for your time that you spend putting these together for us. So much appreciated by me for sure❤❤❤ Real life is very hard right now, it is nice to know I'm not the only one who feels that way, it's nice to hear your REAL.
Thank you for sharing Annie‘s passing. I am so sorry for your loss, with was really unexpected. You did the right thing - for Annie, and for sharing this with us. We lost our last dog a year ago. Every time you loose a pet, it‘s hard, and it will hurt. They are family, and have shared a large part of your life. Cherish the memories you have of Annie!
Listening to this a month - two months late - but stopping in to say that is it normal to feel like a bog lady after you‘ve been to the gym. You work your body really hard in new ways, and it needs time to adapt. Keep doing it, and you will feel less like a bog lady after every time.
Btw, I‘m 55, 190lbs and recently started running again. My legs and hips were not happy with me, but they are getting used to it, thanks to pilates ;-)
I am living proof you can build muscle and be strong post menopause. Everyone is different, but even if it’s taking longer than when I was 58ish, I am returning to my personal record. I’m 67 now, and bench pressing 185 lbs. which is only 20 pounds from my all-time goal. It is possible. Start small, keep at it, pick something. you like/love (I didn’t even know I loved powerlifting until I tried it), do it for you. I feel strong, healthy, happy, and proud. You can do this and you will be glad. Baby steps.
Thank you for sharing this with us, I am so sorry for your loss. I am grieving right now too (my mom) so for whats its worth, it helped me feel less alone in these feelings. I've been watching you for years and I really love your channel, it brightens my day! big hugs Amy Beth
I hope you can feel my hugs from Maryland. I love that you loved her so hard that it was hard to say goodbye. A love like that is something very special.
I also have a hard time going places when I don’t know what to expect. I can do it, but it usually makes me anxious. I also struggle going places/sales/stores that aren’t organized. If there’s a lot of stuff and it’s disorganized I become completely overwhelmed and generally leave earlier than I would if it was well organized. This getting overwhelmed thing has definitely gotten worse as I’ve gotten older. 😜
My favorite apple here in Washington state is the Ambrosia. It stays firm and so sweet. Also, have you froze cherries? When you bite them, they are just an easy bite, not hard. I also love to dry things like onions, and I love homemade dried bananas. I hate hard ones they sell.
