@@echozines same to you! Happy New Year! 🎊

@@LightFromLantern thank you!!

So glad you enjoyed the episode!! I can’t wait to add this book to my collection too. Thanks for watching and keep us posted if you make anything from it once it arrives!! 👏🪡

Awesome!! I hope you have a great month! Thanks for watching and happy crafting!

@@lauraarena7838 I do the same! ✨🌙 So glad you enjoyed the deck, I had a feeling it would be right up your alley! 💕

@@marilynmonroig I appreciate your feedback and am so happy the reading resonated with your signs! While I’m not very skilled at crochet myself, I can definitely be more inclusive going forward. We’re all using yarn after all, so why not?? Great idea, thank you! Speaking of crochet, there will be a crochet version of the Count Your Blessings cowl pattern available soon! I’ll be sure to announce when it’s available here on TH-cam and also in my newsletter/social media - stay tuned! 💕🙏🧶

@LightFromLantern that is great 👌 Ty 😊

@@echozines thank you for watching!! It’s so much more fun knowing someone else is enjoying them with us 💕

Thanks so much!! It’s fun to remember those old stories on occasion and share them with others. One day I’ll get a better gimbal setup and be able to do a real ‘walk and talk’ style video like the West Wing! 😂

@@LightFromLantern West Wing style can be fun too but I really liked how you filmed this though! 🙂

Oh! I had no idea about the wood lengths, that’s so interesting!! I’ll definitely pass that info along to Ellen. Thanks so much for watching and for your feedback!! 🙌

So glad to hear from you and happy to know you enjoyed the episode! Raechel is such a wealth of inspiration and one of my favorite repeat guests 💕 Enjoy your week of passion, however that shows up for you!!

@@LightFromLantern Thank you! Same for you! I can't wait to read Raechel's new book.

Whatever works for you is the way to go! Just socks can be skimpy in their own way too, I suppose. 😂

I do love a good lichen! They’re always the most beautiful colors. 😍 Thanks for listening Laura!! 💕

Such a great attitude! I always felt the seaming was an art in itself. And it’s another opportunity to layer on intention or a cute sewing technique that’s just for you! 😉 Thanks so much for watching and sharing!!

Oh! What a great idea do it in the opposite direction. Seems like we had similar thoughts on incorporating the idea of cold to break it up, too! 🙌 So glad you’re OK and I appreciate your comments!! 💕

Im in lithia i also did the same thing

@@HennaHuu this is the ultimate compliment! I’m so happy I could inspire you. Plus, what great timing! ✨😊 Merry make!!

That’s awesome! What a rich resource that book is. Maybe they will republish it after we’ve talked about it so much! Thanks for watching!! 🎉

Thank you so much!! It was quite an experience and I don’t recommend it lol. The knitting inspiration was a nice bonus at least!

Wow, that’s great!! Polk always seems to get hit by some weather storm so I’m glad to know you’re ok and the power was returned quickly!! 🙌

Thank you so much!! The outpouring of support has been so amazing! 🤗 It was a great practical exercise for the spell, even if I hoped to never have to do it!! 😅

We really appreciate your amazing feedback! I shared your comments with Ellen, too! 💕 Personally, I was born on Friday the 13th so that number is very powerful for me too! Thanks so much for watching and I hope you enjoy my other episodes too!

@@LightFromLantern I was born on the 13th as well. I think that's part of why I like 13 and I like 3 because the numbers in my birthday written side by side have a sequence with a lot of #3 in it. But I've found that prime numbers are just awesome in general.

Makes total sense! They must be very powerful for you. The power of three!! 3️⃣

I totally get it! Washcloths and scarves are real hobby killers lol. I'm glad socks were your entry back into it and are being so well received, too! Regarding your question about changing the gauge for the hat pattern, as we mentioned in the episode it's not always so easy. However, since it's only one gauge away (DK to Worsted) I have some suggestions which hopefully will give you some options without going into re-design mode. 1) Is the yarn you're looking to use a similar fiber content to what the pattern used? If not, it might be harder to get a similar gauge. 2) Knit a swatch in the same pattern as the gauge in the pattern. Start with the same needle size as recommended. If it comes out too small (too many stitches per inch) try a larger needle. Once you meet the gauge, check to ensure you like the fabric as it might be looser/more open. 3) If neither of those work, the easiest option will be to find a new pattern for a DK weight. Otherwise you'll end up re-designing the pattern and it could take a long time to tweak stitch counts to match the pattern. Good luck and keep us posted!

@@LightFromLantern thanks for the suggestions. It is a similar yarn type so I’ll try knitting a gauge swatch and see what happens.

@@marinawelch3964 I hope it works out perfectly! 🙏🧶

So glad you were able to join!! I can't wait to hear what project you start this month. ;) We were very lucky during the hurricane and had minimal damage for being the scariest hurricane I've been through. This week's episode of Knit A Spell will have more detail if you're interested in learning more about the whole experience! Thanks for watching!!

@@jilliankonig2759 Yes!!!! 🙌😂 You totally nailed it. Few re enthused enough by an apron or a scarf to finish and carry on 😂

Because the apron teaches basic skills. Why jump into the most complicated projects just to screw up expensive fabric and yarn? I hate knitting sweaters. They never fit even when gauge is followed.

@@sharontabor7718 That makes sense too! My home economics class in middle school (late 90s) taught a pillowcase and PJ pants which I thought was a clever set. Funny enough, I ended up making 3 aprons much later for my brother and his family since he’s a big BBQ guy! I still hate knitting scarves though! 😅 You’re not the first person I’ve heard that complaint about sweaters! Have you tried one in pieces? Not a guarantee, but it offers a lot more structure than those in the round in one piece.

@@karinhaack3700 another friendship you helped facilitate!! 🙌 Next season we gotta get you on, too!! 🎤

@@honeykid68 thanks so much!!! 🥰

@@YogaYarnMom Welcome to the channel!! 🎉 So glad you enjoyed this episode. She may return before the end of this season for another episode! 🤞

@@bethdirksen3313 Thanks so much for your feedback! Next time we’ll go even more into it beyond gauge and grading. 🙌

@@genier7829 Wow, way to move your knitting knowledge way ahead quickly by tackling so much at once! 👏 what a learning experience! I’ll bet your next sweater was amazing. Thanks so much for watching and sharing!!

@@kaesnow2380 welcome to the pieces club! 😂🧶 they fit so much better but I understand wanting to avoid seaming too. Thanks so much for watching!!

Mugs and bags are two things knitters can’t get enough of! 😂 I hope you had a nice surprise last month, or maybe it’ll be coming in early October! 😉

@@hazeldonner1855 me too!! 💕 thanks for watching!!

@@patriciajans2831 It’s a classic now!! Good one to have in your collection 🙌

I learned crochet & basic knitting from it. I have two copies of it.

@@karinhaack3700 We don’t hold back! 😂🧶 Maybe next season you’d like to be a guest?? 🤞🤞

@@karinhaack3700 we met because of you, so thank YOU!!! 🙏

@@marielasmith860 that’s awesome!!! 👏 if you still have the book, it’s quite the collectors item now! I was only able to find them on eBay and second hand markets. Maybe they will republish it digitally! 🤞

I still refer to mine and whenever I see a copy at a used book store I always buy it and pass it on to someone who is new to knitting, crochet, quilting, embroidery.... because it's such a handy resource.

@@thechillydog that’s a great idea!!! 💡

I just ordered it from Ebay. Not expensive at all.

@@Rosebud2503 oh good! Avoid Amazon!! 🙌

They were really fun to make and it was a great excuse to get nerdy on our favorite topics lol. Glad they're entertaining for more than us! I think you'll enjoy the new episode this week with Ellen, too!

@@LightFromLantern I still have to watch it but I'm sure I'll enjoy it!

I hope it’s been a fun weekend for you!! 🙏🧶

So glad you enjoyed the debut season opener! Let me know what you think of this weeks episode on Bobblemancy after you watch! 👏🧶

I hope you are healing well!! Clearing out old clutter and energy is a great way to keep that motivation going. Finishing projects is a huge energy boost! I’m so glad the cards resonated with you and wish you a speedy recovery! 🍄

Aw shoot, next time maybe! 🤞 It’s a fun day to have something in common with that’s positive! 😂

Thanks so much!! It was lovely! 🥰

Oh! I love this with granny squares. What a great idea and wonderful inspiration. Thanks for sharing!!

@@mazzy.h Welcome! Hopefully you can glean some fun tips on how to make any task or hobby more magical! 🥂

@@melissajenkins9960 I’m a little late with this episode, so maybe you did get it on time! 😂👍 Thanks so much for watching!!

@@echozines Great reflections on the color, I love it! 🌞 I think this season will have a lot for any crafter to appreciate. Thanks for watching!! 🙏

@@echozines I hope things get better for you soon, friend! 💕 I hope the sun energy helps you move the stress off like morning cloud coverage. 🌞

@@LightFromLantern thank you so much! Reading your comment already helped!

@@LindaSlackFaelind77 I can’t wait to hear about all the surprises that find their way to you this month!! 🙌
