The Island Lamb Episode 14: A Holiday Visit From Mom! Memories and of course some knitting! 

What precious memories❤

Perfect hope your having a wonderful time x

That was just lovely to see and hear from your mum all the best

This was a wonderful episode. How blessed you are to be able to spend this precious time with your beautiful mother. I lost my mom 46 years ago when I was 12. She passed 2 days after Christmas. She was a beautiful knitter and I always wish she was here to knit with me. Wishing you both a happy and healthy New Year. 🎊

G’day Dianne, how lovely to share your precious time with your Mum, Happy New Year from South Australia 🇦🇺

It was delightful to hear your mother and you reminisce about the Country store. The tradition of exchange of Christmas decorations is so sweet. I am going to miss your weekly episode but can understand that you give so much time every week to create it. Do have a great time traveling and doing some enjoyable stuff! Happy new year

That was beautiful my friend in every way. ❤️

Thank you for this special episode with your mother, your plans and New Years Eve traditions. Enjoy some respite and your new video schedule. Happy New Year.

Huge smile on my face while watching you both! I remember the big coffee grinder at the Almy house, it was a very special place. Your sweaters are gorgeous works of art. Thanks for a delightful episode! 0:06

Happy New Year! Great episode - love seeing your Mom and the NYE tradition with your husband sounds wonderful.

Delightful! Happy 2023 🎉

Wonderful! I enjoyed it so much! It is so good to share the memories of good times. And I like hearing your mom say "it was fun". Wonderful! Thank you for sharing this with us. Have wonderful and relaxing holidays and a happy and healthy new year! With lots of greetings and good wishes from Cologne, Germany.

I had such a wonderful time listening to you and your mother's stories. While I look forward to Tuesdays vlog cast. I will wait and look forward to it all the more! 😃 Enjoy your time and Happy New Year 🧨

This was such a nice episode. I remember The Old Almy House very well as I live nearby. It was such a special place to stop by on a weekend afternoon. Happy healthy new year to you and your family!

What a joyous vlog. So wonderful hearing your mum chat and talk about what sounded a magical place to work. Thank you both. ❤ Love both your jumpers. Wishing you and your family all the very best for the New Year and look forward to seeing you in a few weeks. Enjoy your activities and your “ putting the old year to bed”. That sounds a super idea.

A very special episode. Happy New Year, wishing you all the good things in life. Enjoy your travels, and hopefully you’ll share snippets on you videos. This is your channel, post when you can. We’ll be here 🤩🥂🍾🔔🎉

Thank you for another lovely vlog. I feel somewhat sad that I will probably never meet you in this life, but also happy to have found your knitting vlog. I feel encouraged to refine my knitting skills even more. Have a wonderful New Year, best wishes to your darling mom. Love from Alberta.

We sure did get hit in Buffalo! It was bananas, like no storm I have ever seen before. Such a wonderful chat with your mom, sounds like beautiful very precious memories. Your tree looks beautiful, especially with that blue blue sky behind you 😍

A sweet episode. Happy New Year! 💖

How lovely to see both of you! I really enjoyed your mum's fond memories of working in the country store. It seems as if she really misses it? You both looked really great in your knitted sweaters. The teal mercury glass bauble will go so well with your other decorations. I am glad you were not affected by the extreme weather which has hit your country. We do not get very much snow generally here in the UK and I am in Norfolk, on the eastern side which hardly ever gets any. I live on the outer edges of a small village called Horning which is in the Norfolk Broads national park. Well, I will send you all the best for the coming year and totally understand if you wish to produce your videos at longer intervals. People do not really appreciate the effort which goes into them. Please give your mum a big hug from me. Sophie XXX

I don't enjoy Christmas as I used to, but seeing the bond that you have with your mom and the joy that you both talked about it, and your traditions and the ornaments, and all the simple things that matter, brought back some good old feelings for a bit. I thank you both...for that and for sharing your love with us, strangers🙂! What does your mom think about being a youtube star? Let us know, ok? Love for all of you from Lisbon!!!🥰

Hi Esther! Happy New Year!

Glad I found you !! So - I just "binge-watched" all your episodes !! I'm in North Kingstown. I belong to a knitting group here. I live down the street from the Mermaid's Purl. I remember all those old pattern books !! I just love BI and visit often ..... been to the farm and mill ...........Happy New Year and I look forward to when your return. 😊

it was so sweet to see the love and respect you and your mother have for each other. and you've certainly got a lovely way to bring in the new year with your husband. shooting and editing videos each week is wonderful for us, but so much work for you - i think you're smart to do it less often. have a very happy and healthy new year. i look forward to more diane!

It was a wonderful episode with your mom Esther, almost felt like I was there! You both looked great 👍 Happy New Year! 🎉🍸🎉

Your mom is so sweet and it seems you have such a beautiful connection❤️ Made me think about my own mom that is not with us any more❤️ It was so lovely to listen to your mom tell about her memories of the store! Wishing you and your family a blessed new year✨️
