Hello! I love your sweater! Have you decided what to do with the color/yarn on the sleeves yet? I am looking forward to seeing it finished! Also - I never have good luck with try-it-on-tubing! I push the needles in as hard as I can, tug to make sure it’s snug, but it still ends up coming off for me and I lose stitches. 🤷🏼♀️
@@michelemarie885 thank you so much! My current plan is to work from the other end of the skein and just make the sleeves starting with the dark pink. I will see if I can get away with doing 3/4 length that way. If not, I will do short sleeve, and I think that will still look nice
Your top is looking so good, I hope it fits you. Enjoy your holiday visiting your friend!
@@nancywillick5737 thank you so much! I think my visit will be a lot of fun. 🤩
I feel your pain 😅 I have done things like that before. I will say the sock is beautiful even with the heeling 😅
@@Tinas_Workshop it is so silly. Glad I am not the only one.
Congratulations! It's so exciting to see you today out if your brace. I remember you saying you weren't working on those shrimp socks to often because you didn't want them to be done 😂 I love your stories, and you just the right amount of speed for me!
@@nancywillick5737 thank you so much! You are correct! And it’s so true. I almost wish I was still working on the shrimp socks. 😆
Congratulations, that is amazing. It feels so good to get it off. My tip is acupuncture. After I got out of my brace the muscles in my neck were so sore. About 6 months later my Dr sent me to acupuncture. I was unsure of it but after my second visit the muscle pain let up, it was amazing. I have now been going once a week for 7 months for all my chronic pain and it really helps.
@@Tinas_Workshop thank you! And thanks for the tip. I will keep that in mind.
The snake colourway would work for a South African species called a red-lipped herald. Their bodies have white flecks (? - scales, I dunno). So glad you're out of your Brace and feeling a less in pain now!
@@lemonbalmmel immediately going and looking up red-lipped herald … oh yes! Those white flecks do look just like that. Very impressive knowledge on your end!
@@iekika5047 They're quite common where I live - I'm South African, and I love our country and all things nature. I could do without the politicians though. What crochet stitch is your blanket? I'm teaching myself crochet after being a knitter (I'm not dropping the knitting, but crochet hurts different parts so I switch between all my things to keep comfortable. I was kitting my cat a blanket using moss/seed stitch, but I think actually a crochet blanket might be nicer. (The funny thing is, this cat doesn't like being covered, but I'm making them their beds and my other girl loves being under stuff in winter and I want them to have the same setup, so Ani is getting a blanket. Maybe she'll appreciate it in her old age). P.s. My PP is of my old cat that has passed away, but I was studying vet nursing and hand reared her from 4 days old.
@@lemonbalmmel it is a single crochet and a chain one. Super easy to do! My kitty also does not enjoy being covered up, but he does love all things fiber arts. He will lay ON my bags, or anything that I am making or have made. I figure he would love a kitty couch :D I think it is super wonderful that you thing of your animals, and try to make them happy, and comfortable too.
@@iekika5047 Thank you. I designed myself beds for them - so I do ribbing all around and knit stitch in the middle - then on the top I knit in their name in a contrasting colour (I always use a patterned wool for the main knit). I sew batting between the knit part and stuff the ribbing parts with normal stuffing so it creates a pillow all around. They're quite big beds but the cats appreciate it because I think I live in a similar climate to you and they stretch out in the heat of summer. We're in winter now though so they're curling up. They do all love sitting on my projects, especially the cross stitich I'm doing for a friends wedding (I may have it finished for there 2nd anniversary...) or my knitting for charity blankets. I have to wash everything thoroughly to try get most of the cat hairs out! Our 1 cat (he's a black clown) also like kneeding my balls of wool and generally making a mess of them. (We have 4 cats in total, and 1 dog)
So sorry to hear about what happened I'm glad that you are going to be okay and you guys are going to bounce back from this I pray in the name of Jesus dad he will send his healing over you and over your husband for the kind of your head that a tibia told that you will have complete utter healing in the name of Jesus Thank you God bless you and thank you for bringing us still doing crochet even with your injuries.
@@mustbebornagain23 thank you.
Love love your cardigan!!!
@@LouGreen-vd4ov thank you so much! 😊
What happened to ur neck I feel so bad for u
@@fluffybeeDutchangeldragon our golf cart was hit by a car. Thank you so much.
@@iekika5047 owie get well soon
So cool! I love Poirot! And knitting. This'll be perfect to listen to during the manual part of my job!
@@globoboboglob3270 oh cool! Glad I could help.
For cosy and possibly co-op look at Dinkum. I like it because Aus and SA share quite a bit of slang and food. Plus i can relate to the biomes James used. Medieval dynasty is co op. You only need to use a bow and arrow or spear for "shooting". For an adorable form of sudoku look at sudocats. I'm a crazy cat lady, so little kitty, big city is on my radar, and quilts and cats of calico (,i believe its a board game made into a pc game) i havent bought it yet, but id love to do quilting and love cats obs. Then the people/cats that developed sudocats have another game called cats and boxes which i just want because those characters are cute! Lol. Hence still on my wishlist.
The Quilting Cat game, I do have, and I enjoyed. I have seen little kitty, big city, and I am sitting on the fence on that one. I will look at Dinkum again, that one did interest me at one point. I am remembering that name. Thank you so much for the suggestions!
Love the cardigan! I keep all those bits with the intention on knitting up catnip mice for our spca. Our 4 will be testers of whether i've got the right amount of 'nip and twirly tail things for fun. Good for you using a machine - i believe a top loader is pretty similar to hand wash and in SA you can use hand wash powder in a top loaders. My front loader has a wool cycle - if you can set speed and temp the try 800rpm with 30°C (i think thats 80ish in freedom units?) Guage swatching. Eish (south africanism). I'm teaching myself crochet after knitting for ages. I found very quickly with the crochet trying to make hexis not curling, that no matter how loose i went it didn’t help. Only, it took me ages and i couldnt go on auto pilot if you know what i mean. I've also realised that i didnt know how much crochet needs blocking. I knit blankets, so dont block and the only blocking i knew of was just drying jerseys flat between 2 towels. I want to knit myself a cardigan in cotton one day... and i don't think I'd guage, because my knitting im totally auto pilot and to change my tension would be hell. Plus, everyone says i have very even good tension, so i dont want to interfere with the universe on that front. I'd use the recommended size needles and if that looks wrong, frog and change needles.
In general, I don't think the intention of gauge swatching is to change your tension. But to find the correct needle or hook size to meet the same measurements that the designer had. However, sometimes, it just doesn't work out, and is more frustrating in the end. So I get it, if you don't do it. That is really cool that you donate for the kitties. <3
The Mary maxim blanket is going to be gorgeous!!
Thank you! I think so too
Do your yarn in 18in lengths. This will make it more manageable.
@@susanpearson6997 I definitely will, going forward. I have no idea what I was thinking on that one. 😆
❤sending healing love your way. I’m new to your channel and what a blessing you are. Shine bright beautiful diamond. Prayers for relief.
@@amyself8008 thank you very much. 💝
Please tell your Dr about that pain when you do have your checkup - can't remember if you said which vertebrae you injured, but your lower neck vertebrae has the nerves coming out for your arms and hands. Alternatively, it looks like your right hand clip might not have as much padding as your left, so it might be digging in? I feel so sorry for you with that brace! And I hate the irony of you saying you'd do the ride at the Gardens when your parents weren't with you because it might be rough on bad backs! I have a neuromuscular disease and sadly know the frustration of having to stop everything (even gaming) due to pain. I'm on disability, so the days of pain nearly bore me to death! Yes, I have the same working with colours I really love. Isn't there another colour way for the socks? Maybe do that 1st and then this as a reward?
I have been in contact with my doctor about it. I did check the pads on the brace, and they are all in place. The one on the left is slightly pushed out, and maybe that adds just enough cushioning? But thank you so much for taking the time! I am sorry that you have to go through this, on the regular. It is extremely frustrating on my end, so, I can only imagine what it is like for you. There are two colors left for the socks. That is a good idea, but I think I will press on, and just look forward to using the yarn in another project.
Awe yay! Thanks for the shout out! I think we should either stick with Cardigan Buddies or we could do Crochet Cardi Crew 😂 I love the shrimp socks and I agree that the wolf socks are giving tiger shark vibes! I feel it also fits much better to the underwater theme of the other two! 🦐 🐠 🐙 🦈
Crochet cardigan crew is pretty catchy. 😆 Absolutely no pressure though.
Ive heard they think he had porphyria. Ive only watched some documentaries on him - they seem to have just sent him up in Windsor or Kew palaces, to keep him out of scrutiny. George IV wasn't much better as he lived a life of excess!
Aw, love love love that mantis shrimp colourway!! My colours too.
Yarn ball twins. 😆
Omg, we really are transatlantic twins! I had fish and worked at our local aquarium shop, before I got sick and disabled! I'm in South Africa, so much longer transatlantic journey than to the UK! But being an ex colony and my Scots, Irish, Dutch ancestry, and also not having a TV we watch TH-cam documentaries and stuff.
Oh wow! Working in the fish store must have been quite the experience! I would have a hard time seeing them go. 😆 I have a dear friend that grew up in South Africa. You probably know her. 😆 (I am absolutely kidding, that is my favorite joke when I know two people from the same area)
The phone in the über 🫠 Noooo! Also, the campfire cardigan is very similar to the horizon cardigan by Hobbii which is a free pattern as well, but it doesn’t have a hood! I also plan on making that and seeing yours is really giving me the itch to cast it on!
Ooo. If you cast it on, let me know! We can be cardigan buddies!
@@iekika5047 will do! 👏🏼👏🏼
I love that grey wolf colourway! Super stunning!
It truly is. They all have been a lot of fun to work with so far.
Can you ask your local chemo infusion centre if they'd like you blanket. I think it'd be lovely size and bright for infusion centres.
That is a wonderful idea! I will look into it.
The dragon came out sooo cute
Thank you! 😊
Yay for summer sock camp! What a great first pair of socks 🧦✨ Your dragon turned out so cute!!! Looking forward to seeing his sibling! As far as the elastic goes, I’m not a prolific seamstress, but I would say just make a few vertical stitches on both sides and if that’s not enough, add a few to the front and back :) Happy crocheting/knitting/reading/ gaming!
Are you participating in summer sock camp, as well? Thank you for the advice. That is sort of what I was thinking too. Fingers crossed it works.
@@iekika5047 yes! Summer Sock Camp all the way! This is my first year knitting socks, so I’m doing a Halloween sherbet pair right now and plan on following them up with a DK pair for the fall :)
Beautiful blanket.. you are very talented. Im still so slow .i guess im just not confident enough to challenge myself. Im 73 and i started knitting 10 years ago and crochet about 2. But O boy...I really enjoyed crocheting stuff for grand kids ..Love your channel
That is sweet of you to say. I am also a slow knitter, but I enjoy the process. That is great that you have found a new hobby to enjoy. (If ten years can still be counted as new).
Wow.. what a great job.. beautiful colors.. I've never made socks .I'm kinda scared to lol . Love your skirt..a d the dragon is just adorable.
Thank you! I wish I could say that I chose the colors, but it was actually VK Yarns that dyed up the sock set. I was scared of socks too. I am very picky about which socks Iike. But, I am glad that I eventually gave it a go. When I started doing research about sock making, I started with nitty natty, but I branched out to Summer Lee and Crazy Sock Lady. Also, I have heard that EarthtonesGirl has a great no fear socks video, but I have not watched that one. Let me know if you ever give it a try!
I saw your thumbnail pop up and saw your brace, I feel your pain, well not the same but last year I spent 6 weeks of my videos in a neck brace(during the hot summer moths) in a neck brace after having neck surgery. I hope your recovery goes smoothly and quickly. Glad to have found you. Wow! Love those bright socks and the progress keeper matches so well. I have a sock that I kept ripping out so much that the second sock should have already been done 😅I can't wait to see your finished dragon.
Thank you very much. I hope that you are fully recovered. The progress keeper was designed to go with the dyed sock set, which I thought was really neat. And I feel you on, you would have been done with the sock already! (That is what is happening with the second sock)
I donate a ton of baby hats to our NICU and your blanket would be such a beautiful baby blanket! Love it! Really hope you and hubby are well and pain free soon ❤
Thank you very much! That is a wonderful idea. How cool that you do that for your local area!
Concussion with amnesia is a closed head injury and should be evaluated by neurology/neuropsych if you have concerns. It happened to me several times in bike, auto, and falling accidents so mine is considered CHI (closed head injury) and CBT (cumulative brain trauma). There are lots of ways to compensate for cognitive changes once your know what your possible impairments look like. ❤ Wishing you all the best and a beautiful recovery
Thank you. I appreciate this very much. I am in touch with my doctors. I am so sorry that you had to go through that.
Just found well utube showed me your channel which is great I have been really trying to fallow and show support to small channels, mine is also really small , I have been able to to really enjoy seeing new faces My daughter has the crochet dragon book and gave me the impkins one . For me right now I have been on a knit and crochet fish obsession lol, I have two pairs of socks on the go that I just keep putting off , like the second sock syndrome 😊❤ great podcast
I am glad you are here. How wonderful that your daughter made one for you. Is she still a kiddo or an adult? I would love to see a crochet fish. I believe in you, on the second sock!😆
Hey you crochet! TH-cam put you on my radar so I will watch.
I do also like to crochet sometimes. Glad you are here.
TH-cam just decided to show me your video and I don’t know how it happened but I’m so glad! Knitting AND ttrpgs and dragons and a harp and everything? I’m sold. Thanks for sharing your work!
Aw! Thank you so much for being here. It is always nice to "meet" people on the same wavelength. 🤩
The little blue stripes on the socks!! 🫠 they are so good! Can’t wait to see how they turn out! The dragon must become your knitting/crochet mascot once finished ✨ Happy knitting!
I absolutely agree about it becoming the mascot. I don’t know where I will put it, but I will figure it out. 😆
Love these reading episodes and Agatha Christie is my favorite!
Believe it or not, this is my first time reading Agatha Christie. I have seen movies and plays based on her books, but never actually read one. Crazy, I know
I love that 'potatoe chip' knitting...just one more! I do that ALLLL the time! I'm going to steal that one 😂
Just found your site and saw how new you are, wanted to say you're doing very well and are very enjoyable to watch ☺️Love your laugh and your projects look really cute and interesting! So I definitely subscribed and hope alot of people will also. I think you'll be very successful and I'm so lucky to get in right at the beginning of your utube career 😂Good luck and keep laughing ❤
Aw! Thank you so much! That is very kind of you to say. I am glad that you are here.
Hi, lever back is the one you like and lobster clasp is the one you don't. If you would like to see a "daunting" blanket go see episode 184 of Noble Character Craft's podcast where Amy shows her finished afghan. She crocheted 950 squares, it's very pretty.
950 squares! That does sound every daunting. I will have to go see that one.
I especially love your mom's sock!
Love it!
I’ve been watching your Vodcast for the last week or so and I really enjoy it so much! I have always found DND so creative and although I’ve never played, hearing you talk about it makes me feel transported into a different world ✨ so thank you!
Aw! Thank you so much! D&D is a fun game to play. I recommend it, if you ever get the chance to play.
I've heard that toe called 'wedge'. The socks look great!
Thank you. A wedge. That makes sense b
So sorry about your accident, very happy to hear both are on the mend! Sending healing vibes your way!! Happy Birthday!!
Thank you so much! 😊
There is a plaid blanket and pillow pattern by Cori Eichelberger called Pump Up The Plaid you might like. I haven't made it but thought of it when you talked about plaid.
Oh interesting! I will have to look into this! Thank you for the tip.
I've never made plaid, and you may already have thought of this, but if I were to approach a plaid project I would consider doing the main part of the plaid work then come back afterwards to embroider the finer lines both vertical and horizontal. You know how they do the little V stitches over the Vs in the stockinette stitch. That might even keep you from alot of different color changes depending on the plaid. I'm picturing like green and black large plaid with fine red lines over the top...I don't know if I'm explaining well?!
Your sweater does look great!
Thank you 😊
Your sweater is really beautiful!❤Love the colors and the lacework!
@@CrojoJojo Thank you very much. It was a fun one to do, and have finished 😆
A fun way you could decide the stripes is roll a dice
That is a great idea! I’ll have to incorporate that into one of my projects.
Hi, you don't look nervous to me!
Thank you for saying that I don’t look nervous. I think I hide it well. 😆
Love this! I can't wait for Chapter 2. Well done!
Thank you very much! 😊
❤❤❤❤ Excellent job
Thank you very much! 😊
