The Cornish Knitter - Shop tour, some knitting and the steek is happening.– Episode 4

Publicado 2023-04-22
Hello, I am Jane from Falmouth in Cornwall, UK. I am an avid knitter and co-owner of Stitches and Cream, a yarn shop that specialises in natural fibres and British yarns.
www.stitchesandcream.co.uk/
Thank you for all your comments and suggestions from my previous video. They have given me lots of ideas for future content and have also helped me attempt to steek my first garment with something like confidence!
This video is in response to your feedback that you would like to see some shop footage and in this episode I share some of our favourite yarns and my sister Sandra joins me to talk about S&C.
I catch up on a FO and a couple of WIPS and update you on my steeking progress. We chat about yarn…obvs… our most popular samples from the shop, and my fave knitting accessories. I also take you on a trip to Tintagel with me, the home of legends and King Arthur.
Thank you for watching and please like, subscribe, share with friends, and of course comment! I will try to respond to as many as I can.

    I cannot believe that people have the audacity to criticize your coloring or background. You are a lovely brave person who is taking your time to share your life and skills with a large group of strangers on the internet. Please continue and know you are appreciated. We knitters love your perspective and content.
  • Oh my gracious! That was the most perfectly wonderful episode, Jane! From seeing your beautiful shop at the beginning to the lovely hike at the end and everything in-between---- thanks for all the time and effort you put into making such a great video.💚

    I really enjoyed this podcast. Your shop is so charming with lovely yarns. It was nice seeing your sister and hearing your story. So many fun little quips and bits of information. You two make a great team. Your knitting projects are stunning and I really love the Stripes Sweater! The colors look fabulous on you. I agree about cap sleeves. I always have to make short sleeves reach my elbows. The hike footage was so pretty. You braved the wind and showed us beautiful scenery. The goodies at the end looked delicious. Thanks so much for all the time you put into this video.
  • A really lovely episode. Thank you. It was great to meet your sister and hear the story of how you started the shop together. 💕💕
  • Dear Jane, lovely to meet you in the shop this morning! I will send you a photo of the hap made with the lovely Backer Yarns when the hap has been completed. Best wishes, Lesley

    Jane I really enjoyed your podcast once again. I loved seeing your yarn shop. The planks on the floor to the furniture and all the beautiful yarn. Oh let’s not forget about your sister. I also love that you have fabric in the shop. Thank you for the sightseeing tour. Just beautiful. Also the knitting content was pretty good.

    A wonderful show today. I loved the tour of your shop, such beautiful yarns in gorgeous colours. Also especially appreciated the scenery at the end. I was in Cornwall over 40 years ago . Remember the fabulous coastline. I live 100s of miles from the sea in Ontario, Canada and when growing up in UK lived almost the furthest point from the sea too. It holds a special fascination for me.
  • I am so Happy to “see” you again and I must tell you that this episode is so Wonderful! I love seeing scenes from your village… always the Perfect ending! Also, I must say that I agree with you and long sleeves! They are a staple in my wardrobe for us “mature” girls😊! Looking forward to your next podcast! Thank you!

    I enjoyed this so much. How marvellous that you are able to stock so much hand dyed wool. Thank you for the lovely tour of your shop - I think I may have been drooling!

    Your shop is wonderful. I wish I could pop in and spend time there with you! Lovely. Your yarn choices are perfect. Exactly what I look for. Best to you both.
  • Great to meet your sister. Sandra I sew in the daytime and knit at night 😊
  • Wool and Tintagel....It doesn't get any better than that!! Thank you so so much for this fabulous video and the exquisite extra footage!!
  • Wow Jane…..what an absolutely fab video, the best so far, well done you 👏👏 ❤ love love love all the stock in your fabulous shop, also you & your sister look so alike, almost like twins? I’ve lived in the South West all my life I’m 68, I live with my husband on the edge of Dartmoor, so I too enjoy the rugged moors, plus we are only 20 minutes from the sea, but I’ve never been to Tintagel, so thank you for that. Can’t wait for your next blog! 😄
  • Thank you-Loved the tour of your shop and the gorgeous backdrop of colourful yarns. 😊
  • @debrizzo7031

    Greetings from the State of Wyoming in the U.S. What a delightful shop. Wish I could visit it. I love knitting and sewing.
  • Hello from Sweden, half an hour from Gothenburg. Thank you for your lovely Knitting podcast, I like it very much. This afternoon I casted on for Hirne as well. I'm using a Swedish wool from Ullcentrum, from Öland. It's a rustic, beautiful 2ply yarn. I've choosen an apple green colour. I think it will be lovely to ware in the summer, as the wSedish summers aren't always sunny and warm. Looking forward to next episode.
