The color you have on is a summer color. Those winter swatches are meant to represent icy pastels, which are far more saturated than your sweater. Color is more than just the hue, it’s also chroma (brightness) and value (darkness). So the swatches you paired with your items didn’t match. I was honestly shocked when you concluded you’re a spring because of all the clothing you showed as well as what you’ve made, I don’t think there was a single item that had spring color qualities. 😅 I assume that came from a mix of your self assessment as warm and not having dark hair.

I AM SO GLAD YOU ARE BACK! HALLOOO! You dont need to make many videos, do it when you feel for it and we are still here even if you just make a few videos every year🥰

Cozyyyyyyyyyyy! Me: sitting in front of the laptop on the kitchentable crocheting and watching your husbands masterfilming

I am in my 70s and I remember when that book came out. I was selling Avon and learned about color pallets. Long ago 🤣

I'm making my first shawl at 62. C2c in Lions brand Mandala Baby in the colored Echo caves. Started off as a baby blanket, and the more I handled and worked with it, the more I loved it. Pulled your video up to see your ideas. I love the way you can change how you wear them. Thank you.

I love the sneak peek into your cozy evening and the vlog style footage! I think you’ve mastered cozy!

Curious about the chocolate chip cookies from the video? They were my first attempt at this recipe - search "Honeysuckle Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies" if you don't want to click links, or if you do, here it is: th-cam.com/video/f-M3JN_7LGU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=InY2NTaeDekCRf5R

Hi Mary 🤗 Aww your little cozy crochet corner looks very comfy! Love the candle & the cookies, they add to the ambiance! Your husband did a great job! 👏🏻👏🏻 Thank you for sharing your home with us, my friend! 🥰🧶🤩

I love how you picked out your favorite clothes to wear. That is a great thing to do, not just with color, but style as well. Moving fairly often has helped me with cleaning out my closet, but I would recommend doing it that way. 😂

Just the video I wanted. Thanks!

The way this was filmed you can feel the love light. Such a welcoming, cozy corner! I can't help but feel a sense of peace. Thank you!

So cozy! I love it! 🥰

Hi Mary! Love your video! You have such a cute cozy crochet corner and your husband did a great job! ♥️🙂

Am I the only one who wants to see more of your homeschool choices? 🤣 Love the video so much! Great work with the shots, Mr. Slow Crochet!

Mercy indeed, riches of mercy all purchased by the precious blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.

knowing my color season has made a big difference in my life. I try not to buy things not in my season because I know I tend to not wear those items I feel less confident in. And it translates to crochet. I feel so much more confident in colors that suit me :) Colors outside of my season are more for pajamas and can be for fun. i’m not super strict but i’m more mindful with how i spend my $

I'm looking forward to seeing the results.

I picked up that book as finding out what season you were, was popular when I was planning my wedding. I’m a Spring.

Color theory is obviously not a new thing but I know the color season thing is trending because of the Korean color analysis. I didn’t realize the seasonality part was always a thing, but my color theory is pretty weak. I’ve always wanted to get a color analysis or find my personal color because the colors I find pretty to look at are different from what look good on me. I do find it interesting how you mentioned how we intuitively know our color palette and what looks good. I will say, sometimes I find a color that I don’t gravitate to but it ends up being my favorite thing, kinda like that red sweater you have.

Nice video. Always enjoy them

I remember the book Color Me Beautiful. It changed my life!! I thought I was an Autumn and looked dreadful in Autumn colors. I found out that I was a winter and also could wear some summer colors. Wearing colors in my "Season" really brought me to life!! I think you're a Summer. You may be a Spring, but try some of the more vivid Spring colors and see if you like them. Please try some Summer colors and maybe even some winter colors. May I very kindly say that gray just isn't your best color. Also, avoid oranges, and browns. Have fun and Happy 2025!!

I was thinking that hank looked more winter! Color systems and color theroy in general really interest me. It's a bummer to make something to wear and not wear it. Great video!

I really like those three colors in tweed yarn you're putting together. Looking forward to seeing how they look stitched up. This topic is reminding me of one of my favorite classes in college, which was a color theory course. I've never heard of color seasons before. I think I gravitate to the winter colors in that book, but I'll have to look into it some more. Thanks for this introduction! 🤗

I think just the suggestion that we go through our closets to see what our favorite clothes are is a great step to finding you preferred color scheme. And then using that to pick our yarns.

Hi Mary 🤗 as always, lovely hanging out with you! All your makes are gorgeous! 👌🏻 great ice-cream choices 🍦😋 I totally agree with you on musk sticks 🤷🏻‍♀️🥰🧶🤩

Pretty projects! Love Edy. I would put a pink tongue on her to lick that ice cream, but that's just me.😂

I agree with other sentiments: No worries about how long you go between updates, we’re just happy to see you! 😊 Also: Was it this video or a different one where you were wearing a LOTR shirt? I loved it so much… I either need to just enjoy yours or get four for this whole family. 🤣 This weekend I frogged three projects! Ahh! I needed a fresh start. I’m excited. Anyway, happy Lord’s day, Mary! Blessings, friend!

So many great projects...amigurumis are adorable and the sweater vest is beautiful! Lovely yarn from your friend...how sweet!

Good to see you back! If you really enjoy Tim Tams, World Market out in Nashville West carries them, along with a large variety of international candies and confections. I enjoy that place quite a bit and have gotten Tim Tams from there. Amazing!

Love the red panda and Edie the bear. You’re getting so good with the amigurumis. 🐻🥰 The sweater vest is just what I like…so creative. The shawl is gorgeous…love it.❤️

Love the red panda and Edie the bear. You’re getting so good with the amigurumis. 🐻🥰

Hi Mary! I love seeing your videos, no matter the time between. I love your red panda! And that sweater vest is my favorite crochet vest ever. I'll zoom-in to study the stitch. Moss stitch is a slog for me too, but I love the finished product. I'd follow my heart for the wool yarn colors, you always choose well. That malachite is gorgeous! I love your scrap blanket! ❤ I finished my wave blanket and I love it. Working on a giant rainbow granny square, it flies by! Your shawl is stunning. I'll be looking at your notes here for pattern names. And I love a large hat, easy to throw on. I'm immediately watching this video again, so much beauty to see! All the best, stay well! 🎉❤

I love your Edy ice cream bear. 💖 Also, love the red panda and want to make that now 😄 I want to make a sweater vest too. I really like yours! Beautiful shawl as well.

I love Edy! And her grass skirt!

It's good to see you! Beautiful yarn from the UK! The scrappy blanket is beautiful, and the red panda is adorable. Sorbet bear is precious. I love the sweater vest! Stay warm 🤗

Love love.❤. Love the grey,orange best. Love abit of bright. Very vintage . ♥️

Great to see you, Mary. So many lovely new finished projects. I currently only have 4 WIPs. Happy new year and blessings to you and your family. Enjoy.......

I can’t wait to see what you combine with that beautiful color

When you talked about musk sticks I immediately started searching the internet for what the taste is. Reddit had some creative answers but it seems like it’s supposed to be rosewater or some other floral flavor.

Oh my gosh! I was so surprised and happy to see your video posted today!! So nice to see you!! Thank you for sharing your yarn acquisitions! Bless you and yours!

I really enjoyed your video as I like to make shawls and am constantly on the hunt for new patterns. Also,you have a rather hypnotic and soothing voice which makes watching your video a pleasure. Thanks!

Hi Mary! I love seeing The Shire peeking from your right shoulder! ❤ I attempt every day to give of myself with an open heart, because it's the intent and energy of unconditional love that will heal anyone that encounters it. I still mostly crochet for myself as a comfort, but gifts come in many forms. So lovely to see you, and it makes my heart happy to see your makes and your outlook! 🎉

I’m making blankets for a program I found this year, it’s year round so you can take your time. And u trust them. Camp boggy creak. Cute hats!

Lovely ❤

I do not donate to the shelters because i found out this one in our area take the nice stuff for employees. So I've gone to the schools and my local sheriff because we live in a small town ...and ask him to share our gifts to a family. They can tell you who in your community is in need or take it themselves. Ive been in this little community for over 30 yrs .

Beautiful donations. 💖

Hi Mary 🤗 sooo many beautiful items made with love & donated with love 🙏🏼🥰🧶🤩

Awesome that you donated all of those beautifully crocheted items. I'm sure the recipients will be wonderfully warm & thankful! I really enjoy donating my crochet items too. I'm a prolific crocheter & couldn't possibly keep everything! 🥰Blessings from South Australia💕🐨

Mary, I think your healthy habit is something we could all adopt. When I was a child we lived near a train track. One day a young black man (no it doesn’t matter that he was black but for context this was an all white neighborhood and people were not always kind) came to our door and said he needed money for the train home. We were about a dozen houses away from the station so I guess he kept getting turned down. My mother gave him the cash she had. (This was the nineties and we were a family of eight so money was always tight) and i guess I asked her why she gave it to him, I was very young, maybe 6-7. She said “you never know when God is testing you. And that if he was being dishonest and didn’t need the money well then God would handle it” I think she caught flack from people when they found out. But this has stuck with me my whole life. She took a chance and gave him money on the faith that his heart was genuine. It’s been over thirty years and I carry that lesson from that day that my mother didn’t realize she was teaching me. Some people “give” because they feel they have to. This is not what Jesus wants. He wants us to love and give as He did. If it’s not genuine then why do it? Obviously I’m not asking you personally that question because it’s so obvious that your heart is genuine and it’s so beautiful Mary. Thank you for being a bell sheep ❤ So many people will feel loved and special and warm because of your beautiful gifts!

You are so kind with your donations. Such a great philosophy about it. Thank you for your generosity.♥
