  <description><![CDATA[I absolutely love your Friday letters Jane and this was no exception. I had a real treat - empty house, mug of tea and watched it while I crocheted another round of the base of a shopping bag - perfect timing. I definitely tuned into the concept of using up left overs straightaway. I have left overs going back 40 years! I am a basic knitter - but will download the pattern and give it a go - soon.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Thank you for your recent video and for sharing the beautiful scarf pattern. I too hold the tension between supporting creators, and not spending reflexively for her enjoyment-- or the dopamine hit! I was balanced with this until I started watching knitting channels on YouTube. I finally understood what is meant by influencers! Now my stash has grown and is actually a source of anxiety, not joy. I have decided I need to curate what I truly love from my stash and gift the rest. It will bring( for me) more peace. I really enjoy your channel for the thoughtful reflections on how how we engage with our craft as expression of our creativity, curiosity, and values.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Jane, I love the scarf and more importantly the knitting, the woven pattern you chose, type of weol, the charming retro element of it. Here's an American style question for you: I never found that style to be of any use, as I tend to need a longer scarf to keep the vitals warm, neck warm, etc. Have you considered a slightly expanded version of it, or conversely do you ponder going 60s retro and wearing it as a strapless top these days. Your comments about shopping are spot on - I find myself falling into it, as "browing online" seems harmless enough for style ideas. Wrong. I find that it becomes like my 500th procrastination tool to avoid the fulfillment of painting or writing or sewing, etc. - not to mention the paperwork. Thank you for being yourself.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Ah this is lovely, thanks for the pattern. I am an avid Ravelry user but I try to limit my pattern buying. I was a bit sad that there is no pattern page on Ravelry for it but I'm learning that not every pattern I use has to be available on there. I'll add a link back to this blog post from my project page then people can find it and your post & video.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Thank you for making this available it is much appreciated.  At the present time my knitting is making summer tops using silk and linen yarn which is quite an adventure.  I imagine this scarf could be knit in silk but I think I will try some good old fashioned wool first. A September cast on probably.  Im always interested to hear your thoughts on life this time consumerism. As I write this I am without my iPhone because of a technical failure and Im surprised at exactly how anxious I am at the loss.  After all the situation will get fixed.  I’m 68 not 18!]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[<div class="commentreply">In reply to <span class="commentlink" data-id="1497">Susan Hadden</span></div>I kept the language exactly the same in the PDF as it is in the pattern - it’s a completely different format to modern patterns I find - much more concise and also replies in you being able to ‘read’ your knitting as you go. No stitch markers.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[I downloaded your pattern for the triangle scarf and wonder about the instructions first line "continue decreasing in this manner....".  No instruction for "in this manner", am I not seeing something that really is there??]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Thank you for once again such a timely video, Jane.
A couple of years ago I had to make some major life changes due to some health issues. As a result, I've had a lot more free time and less contact with other people, and this has been a very difficult adjustment for me to make. I have found, sadly, that I turn to shopping to try to fill some of this void. It of course, doesn't work. Your video has really, once and for all, clarified that for me.
I too feel that it's important to "support" local businesses and entrepreneurs, and thus I justify a lot of this spending. I'm going to try your lovely suggestion of putting that money in a special place and when enough accumulates, I have a local animal charity that I support that would be very grateful for the contribution. And going out for a dog walk, texting a friend, or just sitting down and actually using some of the many art and craft supplies I have bought over the past two years is a far better use of my time that going out on yet one more errand because I'm bored or feeling lonely.
Once again, Jane, you've sent me just the message I needed to hear!  Happy knitting!]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[That is a another really interesting video Jane. I try to buy most things locally, ideally from an independent business, but even if it is from a chain store I am giving work to somebody - Amazon etc are my last resort! I buy a lot from charity shops and other second hand outlets. So far as knitting patterns are concerned I have been using patterns from books , either books I bought years ago when I had a bit more spare cash or from the library. But I have often been disappointed with the fit. So now I am trying to learn to design my own starting with simple rectangles and then how to introduce more fitted shaping. I have just bought 2 patterns from Natalie in Stitches because she gives instructions on how to adapt them to fit different body shapes. I reckon if I knit those it should help me learn. And I am experimenting with different stitch patterns so thank you for the download! We have all been trained to support GDP and it really isn't good for us or the planet!]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[What a beautiful scarf and how generous of you to make the download. 
I watched your film over breakfast in the sunny not too sweltering yet garden. I really resonated with what you said about shopping culture/addiction. I am ashamed of my acquisitive  nature but am so often entranced by another lovely ‘thing’. Your idea of the separate pot for things/experiences you have thought about and really want is an excellent one - will try it. I’m remembering standing next to an old lady in a queue to pay. I must have had something indulgent in my basket and she asked me if it was ‘an impulse buy’ - well of course it was and boy, did I feel guilty (though still went ahead and bought whatever it was). Thanks again for your words of wisdom]]></description>
