    Happy Birthday Jane! I love your podcast so much, I always have to watch it first when I have other favourites waiting. I am a bit older than you but can completely empathise with how you feel - when sometimes you cannot really explain what is wrong, and there is much to be thankful for, but you just feel that little bit down. I certainly felt better after watching you, and hope you have the loveliest day today. Thank you for the Lizard footage, and for showing us your latest yarns which are just sumptuous. xx
  • Happy Belated Birthday Jane you have shown us some lovely patterns and wool. I especially like the scarf and the sock that you had finished.
  • This is the first video on your channel I have watched. I thought the yellow hat looked great on you btw, really it did. So cheery and bright!
  • Happy belated birthday Jane. It was lovely to watch all your wips and finished objects.
  • Happy birthday Jane. I always enjoy your podcast. I enjoyed the video at the end. Nice scenery. You knit so beautifully.

    Happy birthday! If you're reading this and hemming and hawing about joining sock club: do it :) (wearing my most recent sock club socks now, even though it might not be sock weather!)
  • Happy birthday Jane, hope you had a fabulous birthday, & got spoilt rotten 🎂🍷 Watching your lovely visit to the Lizard coast, reminded me of a cheeky weekend away, in that very lighthouse b&b years ago with my hubby 💕 Thank you for that. Xx

    Happy Birthday Jane I hope you have a Lovely Day 🎉I am a little older than you and can relate to feeling a little bit Blur at times , when I do feel like that it’s my body telling me to take a Rest and slow down….Please Take Note! It’s also hard to keep weight off as we get older as well so don’t be too hard on yourself, enjoy life’s pleasures in moderation. ❤🇦🇺
  • Oh, the colours of the sea and the grass and the lichen.. thank you SO much for taking us along 🥰
  • Really lovely to have this super vlog update and Happy Birthday. I hope you're having a wonderful day and enjoy your cream tea. Thanks for the trip to the Lizard Peninsula. It's a beautiful and wild place.

    Happy belated birthday! I hope you had a lovely day. What absolutely gorgeous yarns. Happy knitting 💚🧶💚

    Great to see your WIP progress. Loving the latest Ranunculus. I wondered about Ranunculus vs Love Notes and you gave your verdict at that very point! You always have so much on the go with the shop and all the exciting projects, keeps you busy but make sure you carve out some you time, even if it's knitting in the garden or on the beach. Can recommend Michael Mosely's 5:2 way of eating. 2 days a week is very manageable and the recipes are flavoursome.

  • I follow you quiet a while ( i am from Germany)and i love listening to your suggestions of patterns and wool. So sad that i can’t visit your shop. I wish you all the best for your birthday ,stay healthy . Greetings from Michaela
  • Happy Birthday Jane!! What a wonderful podcast. Filled with fantastic ideas and motivation. The beautiful countryside makes me feel like I could just sit down and start knitting. Enjoy your trip to London, looking forward to seeing the finished socks. I must go look in your shop, you have wonderful colorful skeins. See you next time. A
