I do know that you can’t hear me when I’m watching your videos, but I feel like we’re having a chat together and enjoying spending time with each other. I’m sitting here and making remarks like “I know what you mean” and “I do that too!” Thank you for the lovely visit!
Omg am I so glad I stayed to the end to hear the ant/human speech. Couldn't have agreed more and laughed so hard (family was giving me the stink eye, "What is she laughing about!?) I continue to be a big fan and will think of you every time I observe the jerks, ants, humans or otherwise!😂
You are ranting my rant! I feel you, sister. Insurance, the broken system, the meanness of some who hold too much power. Makes me wanna holla! Thank goodness for knitting and sunshine and people like you. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on our messed up world. I’m one of those people wondering “Is anyone seeing this?! What the heck is happening?” It’s a relief to hear someone else so clearly expressing what I’m feeling. Also, I’ve run into my insurance charging more for medications than just buying them outright as well as using a discount app like GoodRx. Im super lucky in that my pharmacist recognizes me when I go in, remembers my name, and looks up which is the cheapest way for me to get my medication. I love that woman! I drive across town to go to that pharmacy just because of her. 😊 Our health system here in the US is nuts. There are some alternatives around, but - sheesh - it’d be nice if we had a healthcare system similar to Canada’s.
I just wanted to apologize for “ falling by the wayside “ watching you…2022 was not nice to me ( or my body) and I just stopped watching a few of my favorite channels.🤦♀️🙈 I’m really trying to get back in the groove of watching again . I noticed that you’ve lost some weight and without knowing why , I’m not sure if congratulations are in order but ……….,I’ll just leave it up in the air !😂❤ I love,love,love to see what you’re doing in your life and am very pleased to be back. I’m not going to continue with just this episode,I am going to try to go back and watch from the year I missed.💞💞
Hey Amy Beth👋 Those bunny bags called out to me and I got an aran bunny bag!!! Centuries ago I used to collect little bunny fugurines, so when I saw you show that bag I immediately knew I had to have one!!!!! I love the vest you're knitting!!! Gorgeous colors. Hope you all have a beautiful Easter weekend!!
Thank you Amy Beth. You are wonderful. Sometimes things have to be said even on a knitting podcast。It is necessary and helpful to talk about hings that frustrate us. I always enjoy your podcast . Thank you for keeping me company while I knit a sock at midnight...
I did it! I ordered the fabulous hares in the Aran size and it’s going to live by the side of my chair all summer at the lake and hold a whole mass of great Jacob sheep yarn that I’m in the middle of making a blanket with! Picture old, wooden lake cabin, right by the water, loons coming to visit, sleeping dogs on the couch… Will send you a photo. ❤️🙏🏻
Rant away, you are saying the things that need to be said! Thank you! Regarding those ants, there is a great children's book: "Two Bad Ants" by Chris Van Allsburg. Great illustrations too!
Loved your vest...stunning. Love your concerns about our moral compass as a people. You have a gift of expressing your humanity care and dignity without being hyperbolic or offensive.
Thank Goodness for your speaking up and saying things can be Fouled up! The crazy that is the world is overwhelming and I appreciate your saying it is not just me! Nice to be reminded❤
I live in NC and the last few weeks have been rough for sure. Sending you hugs and supportive thoughts for those fragile moments, thank you for bringing a smile to so many of us!
I'm with you on the PomPom yarn selections. I always dreaded trying to help a customer pick yarn from my shop for their patterns because I just wasn't confident about it.
What a good soul you are, Amy Beth, speaking on the craziness affecting the people we should take care of. ❤ If you don't get anywhere with the pharmacy, your insurance company may be able to tell you where you can get it for less. I love the colors you picked for that webby vest. Gorgeous!
Oh my word... Amy Beth! I did it! I ordered one!! woooohoooo! But I needed to let you know that the linktree link in this video description did not work, so I quick hopped over to your last video and it worked like a charm and I dithered only slightly before choosing myself a LARGE rabbit bag! Oh I do love it!! SO MUCH. SO much. ALL the heart eyes!!! 🥰🎉 Best, Lynne
Oh, I’ve B so enjoyed your podcast again…thank you! I’m waiting to be collected and taken to theatre for my stoma reversal surgery so I needed to be immersed! Thank you! I also had some credits on Audible so I got Get a Life Chloe Brown! Thank you
Best of luck finding the perfect bra pattern! “Keep ‘em separated” and “For Fans Only” 😂😂😂. It is good to know other people are seeing there are some very disturbing things happening, because many don’t seem to notice. Hope it is only 20%. 😐 I also feel better that I have “permission” to not continue reading “Regaining Body Positivity”. I decided it was too intense for me, I’ll look into your YA suggestion, those are where I am right now. Always look forward to your podcasts. Your vest is gorgeous and I loved Gus’s cameo appearance! ❤
Feeling pretty fragile today. Less than five minutes in and I’m smiling and laughing. Thank you, Amy Beth. 🙏❤️ PS. “Twenty percent of ants are jerks “ sounds like the title of an intriguing book. 🤔
OK, I thought I was pretty nimble around the BGA site, but hadn't come across hot seating - what a clever way to play solo! I went in hard on hardback solo for a while if you are a fan of wordgames. (And am always open to a wingspan game, but 100% understand if you've found 'your' way to play and enjoy it!). I've got two mystic squares so far, and the next spin I have lined up is for JW beads of joy (or something like that. Not going to open a tab and search as I'll get swept down the pattern search vortex and the bread will get burnt!). I'm a true convert to cropped these days, 30s Amy would not believe it!
I just looked at RU-vid on my phone and you were right there at the top. Your captioning started and it said “welcome to the festival speaks”. I never quite thought of you as a festival before but why not? We all keep coming back for the festival that is Amy Beth.
Love your heart and your brain, lady. I was here for the knitting and crafty goodness to begin with, but honestly you could do reviews of ready made potato salads and you’d make it worthwhile. 😁
Your ant fact reminded me of the special features in Lord of the Rings when they made a computer generated model for the hoards in the battles, some of the goblins ran away.
Adjoa Andoh is in “Bridgerton” and her audiobook narrations are fantastic!! Glad you found her. I first heard her when I listened to The Matrix by Lauren Groff. I’ll check out her Talia Hubert books now. Thanks for the rec!
❤❤❤love your podcast as usual!❤❤❤ you brighten my day, which is super awesome as I'm really struggling with my anxiety and depression right now. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!😢😊
I’m knitting the Xiao Mai and I’m using a lot of my stash , some deep stash that I’ve had for years. It’s very refreshing to play with all the color combos and I’m so happy I have a curated stash
Hi Just to let you know that Leslie from the knit girllls podcast is also making the crochet weave top. She had some issues with it starting the 2nd yarn.
Thank you for reminding me that I need to announce that! Yes, Saturday noon-2? Sunny weather in the grass, stormy weather in then4-h shed that’s just up and to the left of the grass.
WTF indeed. But my library had the Chloe audiobook! That crochet garment-ish item is a bold choice - look forward to seeing it grow. Astrophysics - in summer 2020, during lockdown, I listened to Until the End of Time by Brian Greene. Mesmerizing (and somewhat incomprehensible).
A lot of boob talk! It finally dawned on me why I am unhappy with my recent crop knits.😂 My oldest needs his wisdom teeth out. He lives out of state from our insurance. I found him a local dentist to him in program…he got in in 3 days. They referred him to an oral surgeon 1 and a half hours away. We drove over…had some sushi. He went through the entire appointment, they did another swirly X-ray on him. The finance lady game in to tell him the cost…walked him through everything…then proceeded to tell him they were out of program! The man child makes $20 an hour…not enough to pay for oral surgery. He came out of the back just livid that they didn’t tell him from the get that they were out of program. Why? Of course they are charging the insurance company for the visit…depleting his dental for the year. I will find him an in program oral surgeon…but it’s gonna cost him because they can’t be upfront. Blows my mind. How do people without a Mamma Bear get through? I think unused insurance should carry over instead of disappearing. 🤔
Yep. Reality is scary shit. Between trying to deal with my own problems, do I dare look up and see what the world is heaving our direction? This week was hard and I am thankful for you, sun, and knitting. Those bring me joy. Good luck with the pharmacy. Move to Canada. 😂
Keep ‘em separated 😂 I love seeing what you are knitting and the bunny is so sweet. Please make a Fox. I know you probably have some rusty colored yarn, and if you don’t, well you’ll just have to get some. The bags are beautiful and it’s nice to see you 😊
Speaking of garden peas, when is your frost free date for planting? Or does that even exist anymore with climate change…. Did you get your seeds? LOVE all the prints you picked for the bags-wish I could get them all in all sizes! (April is typically a cash poor month though 😮)
Definitely in for the prescription ring crap and although the knitted pieces with the 7000 yarns and mohair might be beautiful I sometimes think it’s a conspiracy.
Oh, I mean, it’s DEFINITELY a conspiracy! If I were a yarn company, I too would be happy to present a beautiful pattern that required a million dollars worth of yarn.
Can I add something to your ‘messed up world comments. I’m old enough to remember WWII. (Yes there are some of us still around) The anxiety that is attacking this generation reminds me of the air raids. When you went to bed, you didn’t know who would still be alive in the morning. When you walked out of the air raid shelter, your house might not be there, your place of work might be a heap of rubble, you child’s school might be burning. It’s that type of total unbalance and constant anxiety that is pervading society now.. Okay, back to the ants!
I also had loved ones from london who lived through ww2. They said movies, books can’t express the anxiety that was constant every day. I’m glad you are still around to give your perspective❤️
I loved your video as usual. I always wait with baited breath for your next vlog. I just have to say though that your hair was making you crazy. Those beautifil auburn strands that kept coming and hanging over your glasses made you constantly push them back. I don't know about you but I was really distracted by that. I really shouldn't have an opinion about it but I couldn't help but, like I said, say something. Of course, it had nothing to do with your narrative, your knitting, with your crochet, with your game review and your lovely laugh. I would watch you even if you were bald or your whole face was covered in hair like Sia.
My ADHD meds are cheaper without using our insurance than with it. :-\ WTAF INDEED. The medical establishment still doesn't believe that Neuro divergent folks need help. I understand your frustration.
I don't think it would be a good idea for me to put my boobs in a sling, someone might get hurt. I would like for them to be separated. Why is it so hard for someone to just come up with the perfect bra!
Insurance and prescriptions are so unaffordable in this country. Lawmakers...how about not bein pro birth, but be actually pro life and take care of these children once they are born to this earth. What is wrong with providing a child at least one meal a day? It may bee the only meal they receive in a day.
