Morning Amanda, just catching up with your latest podcast, absolutely love your little sock frame, I think I will have to try one with the left over ‘silent night’ yarn! Also would be interested in joining you with your quest on expanding your crochet stitch knowledge and maybe we could have a wee crochet along whereby we challenge ourselves to do a few squares each month?
How odd that u were in Woking - That’s where I lived ( I’ve just moved ) 😮
That must have been great living so close to London. I hope you are settling into your new home and exploring your new neighbourhood 😊
Another lovely podcast, which I always look forward to.🥰 your new top will look lovely and loving the colour of your yarn. Yes your wee socks are so cute. 🤣😂 Well done you for finding your charity yarns and yes, something I would do...Now I have a confession to make I have ordered an advent calendar 🙈 oh well, you have to have a Christmas treat to yourself, don't you?? 😂🎅 Enjoy your day 💕xx
You've bought an advent 😁😍😱🤣 Which one did you buy? It gives you something to look forward to and that is a treat too 😊
@@CraftingwithShuttermonkey Wool is the Answer...cocktails 🍹xx
Great episode. I have been crocheting longer than knitting and the things that were new to you would be new for me too. I need to check out the pattern. Sounds like you had a great day out.
It was such a good day out 😊 Yes, have a look at the pattern - always good to find some new techniques to try out 😉
You are a very talented crafter, i always look forward to seeing your vlogs from up here in the North East of Scotland 😊
Thank you so much, Anne 😊
Another nice podcast. Great projects , plans and acquisitions. Hope you have a lovely crafting week 😊
Thank you, Morag. Wishing you a week filled with crafty fun too 😊
Good morning from Kentucky, USA!
And a very good morning to you too 😊
Awesome ❤😊
Thank you 😊
Loving all your beautiful works! 🤩
Thank you 😍
I've just found you and I'm now going back over your episodes - I love your creativity and diverse crafting interests. Your quilt is so precise - so much work but how beautiful!
Oh, thank you so much! I have really enjoyed making that quilt 🥰
I've just found you and I'm so glad I did because I loved seeing all of your lovely makes! I knit and crochet, and I can sew very basic things but not very well! I'd love to be able to quilt one day. Your animal quilt is amazing. I look forward to catching up on your last episode x
Thank you, Emma. If you see quilt projects that you like online, give them a go. There's lots of helpful tutorials out there which are so useful when you want to try something new 😊
Hi Amanda, I'm just catching up with all your podcasts, I started with the November one I think 😅 It was me you bought the D&D Advent from, it looks lovely all lined up! I, too am trying not to buy any advents this year, I have so many from previous years. All your makes are so inspiring ✨️ I've watched Vera for years but just recently discovered Shetland, which I didn't realise is the same writer. So give that a go, if you haven't already 😊
I watched the first season of Shetland a few years ago and enjoyed it. I think I'll try that again, thank you! I think I bought a Beehive Yarns DK Grease themed yarn from you too 😉 I made my Daft Days cardigan with that yarn 😍
Your donkey is definitely’ Donald ‘ ❤
So many gorgeous projects! Love the donkey, blankets and cardigan so much.
Thank you, Nancy 🥰
Hi Amanda, I've just finished my second pair of skoosh socks, love this pattern thank you for such a great for up pattern! X
Of even toe up pattern. . .😂
Thank you, Anne. So pleased to hear that you have enjoyed working on your Skoosh Socks 👍
Amanda, your crochet cardi is gorgeous. Great idea to try it on when both sleeves are at the same length before finishing them. I think the cute donkey looks masculine, and his name could be Dougal? ❤from NZ
Thank you, Emma. I'm patiently waiting for the extra two balls to arrive to finish those sleeves. Dougal is a good name for a donkey 🫏
Hi Amanda 🥰 another lovely podcast with your socks, cardigan, blanket and cute donkey and yes I did guess it right😊 I was so pleased to see it pop up in my subscriptions with all the sport on the TV at the moment! 😅😂 I hope you had a good trip with your daughter and all went well 🥰xx
Thank you, Teresa. We went to London yesterday! We drove there and back again in one day - very tiring, but so worth it 🥰
@@CraftingwithShuttermonkey so pleased you had a good time. Gosh London and back in one day is one long day!!!!🥰
It sure was a long day! Glad it was at weekend, as rush hour traffic in London during the week would have made it more stressful.
Amanda, I have all my Christmas socks in a box and bring them out in December, my aim is to knit 31 pairs, one for each day. It’s Christmas in July at the moment and I have two pairs of WYS on the needles at the minute!
@sandraquince1970 I have bought two boxes, Sandra - one for Christmas socks and one for Halloween. What WYS yarns are you using just now? 31 pairs of socks for December! That is a fabulous amount of Christmas socks 😍
Hi Amanda, I’m currently knitting the Silent night (the blue sparkly one) and gingerbread. I seem to collect them each year and never get round to using them so I thought Christmas in July would be the perfect opportunity. Have you used either of these ones?
@@sandraquince1970 The WYS Christmas colourways are all so lovely 😍 I do the same - collect them every year. I have knitted socks with all the xmas colours, But I don't have silent night ones for myself. I hope that you are enjoying knitting your yarns for Christmas in July.
You are so talented I am in awe thank you for sharing all of your makes 🤩 stunning
Oh, thank you 😍
You are so talented I am in awe thank you for sharing all of your makes 🤩 stunning
Just catching up with you now Amanda, and haven’t you just been a busy li’l monkey! Your Jethro looks amazing!! I love everything of course! I also have a sweet tooth, but love anything toffee, caramel Or licorice! 🍬
Thank you, I have enjoyed working on the Jethro cardigan. Working on the sleeves just now. I love toffee and caramels too, but they dont agree with all my fillings 🦷😂
Thank you for sharing Amanda, all beautiful socks...cannot see the link to your Friends TH-cam? Helen? 💕🥰xx
Thank you, Teresa. The link to Helen's channel is next to the Old Shale Socks details. Her channel is called StitchwithSprit966 x
@@CraftingwithShuttermonkeyThank you 🥰x
So many awesome socks. Love the Indiana Jones ones! The bottom of mine get faded too.
@nancyhughes386 so it's not just my socks that do that! My commercially dyed yarn seems to last better when used for socks 😊
Your socks are all so gorgeous! I defibately find that my socks knit up with a heel flap and gusset last longer than socks knit up with any other heel and in whatever yarn. So, from now on I will be knitting all if my socks with a heel flap and gusset. Yes, they take longer to knit, but the extra effort pays off in the long term as the socks wear better. and last longer! I also much prefer top down socks!
If you can't sell them swap them - join a knitting club and play swapsies
Thank you! Swapping is something to keep in mind 😊
Your blankets are beautiful! I can't wait to see how they progress :)
Thank you 🥰
The quilt blocks look amazing! I can’t wait to see it put together. Lovely knitting.
I am so looking forward to seeing those blocks all sewn together 😊
That quilt is going to look amazing - looking forward to seeing it when it’s completed. All your work is beautiful - you are a very talented craftsperson, Amanda.
Thank you so much 😊
Blankets don't count as WIP's🤣. Just love your fox quilt, absolutely gorgeous.
Thank you. Those wee foxes are so cute 😍 I agree with you that blankets are not WIPs - I must stop thinking of them as a WIP and more like a long term project 😀
Wow! you have been very busy, Amanda! I'm recovering from surgery and haven't done too much knitting. I do admire that you can crochet. Take care
Oh, thank you! I Hope your recovery is going well and you feel like knitting again soon 😊
@@CraftingwithShuttermonkey thank you 🤗 I’ve been doing a bit of gentle knitting 🧶🤗
Cabana is my favourite chocolate bar.... it was cherry and coconut.... it was very popular in the 80s but was discontinued 😔xx
I had to look that chocolate bar up - it sounds delicious 😋
Amanda, I would frog and keep the purple yarn, too nice to give away and I’m sure you could find another pattern to use. The pink one why not make a cushion cover and use it in your office where you can see it most days?
Oh Sandra, that is a very good idea! Making a cushion would give it a new purpose rather than it just being stuck in a cupboard 👌
Oh my, Amanda. Keep the cashmere/silk yarn. Keep the beautiful buttons, and keep the pink jumper you knitted when you were 19. It's a shame they don't fit, but everyone's body changes over the years. The charity shop will drool over those gorgeous knits and the new owners will wear them with pride, and know how lucky they are to have such beautiful garments.
Thank you. You are right to suggest that i keep the special things and rehome the rest. Our bodies change quite a bit over the years, but late 40s was such a drastic change for me!
So inspiring! TFS! 🧶🧵✂️🐏
Thank you 🥰
All the items you showed are just lovely.
Thank you 🥰
Reuse the cashmere yarn for sure
Yes, it is such a special and luxurious yarn 😊
You are a fabulous knitter. Thank you for sharing with us
Thank you 🥰
Keep the buttons, frog the cashmere sweater and over dye the one you knit when you were pregnant.
Yes, I agree with you. Keep the special things and rehome the rest 💕
I would frog the cashmere/silk Cardigan and use the yarn for something to wear now! 😻 Would your daughter be able to wear the knits you want to re-home? Or maybe someone you or she knows that they would fit?
I could ask my daughter as she might wear a couple of them. I could ask my son's partner too. Good suugestion - why did I not think to ask them!! 😅
Aw, it is a shame you have to part with so many of your pretty knits! I can also relate, as I agree that we can all change in size over the years, so our knitted garments may not always fit us! If I have not worn a garment, I either just rip them back and reuse the yarn, or I just put them in the bin if the yarn was inexpensive and not worth saving. I have never attempted to sell a past knitted garment or donated it to charity.
I've kept quite a few, but it's time to let go of the ones that don't fit and especially the ones that haven't been worn. I'm hoping someone else will love them and get lots of wear out of them x
They are all beautiful handknits. Yes definitely reuse the cardigan Yarm. I love your swan lake jumper, beautiful colour and pattern💜, what a shame you have never worn I. Have you thought about selling it? A friend of mine sells her old handknits on Vinted. You are a talented knitter 🥰x
My daughter has used Vinted a few times. I might ask her for advice. If I list them and they don't sell, I haven't lost anything 😊
Oh please repurpose that cashmere yarn - it would be so expensive to replace and there should be enough to make something you’d like to wear. Keep podcasting - I really enjoy watching you and your projects.
Thank you, Rowan. I think I'll have enough of that cashmere yarn to make a Worsted Boxy by Joji Locatelli 👌
Whoever these end up with will be very lucky! Keep the buttons, rip out the yarn and def keep the one that you brought your son home in.
Thank you, Karen. Exactly what I was thinking 😉 Definitely keeping the cashmere cardigan (for the yarn) and that pink jumper.
Thanks so much for showing that yarn. We stopped to take a photo of the couters candy statue in Gala! Ally Bally was a rhyme my grandma used to sing to us when we were little x
I sing that to my grandkids too 🥰 It's such a lovely colourway and is knitting up nicely with Oil Slick as a contrast 👌
The flower is so cute. Love your Jethro too. The last two times I was in Scotland I brought home the Tunnock’s caramel wafers for family and friends. They are so good. I have not tried the cakes though. I’m in Michigan. It is difficult for me to pick a sweetie because I like so many but I am a big fan of Better Made Old Fashioned Red Licorice.
Caramel Wafers are so good 😋 I like red liquorice too - not a big fan of black liquorice, but I can manage to eat in Liquorice Allsorts 😉
I love the colours of your cardigan I think they would make a lovely blanket. I am thinking of starting a quilt from the fat quarter shop as watching the video from the spooky one the instructions are very clear, however can you recommend a beginner one to start with? My favourite sweets are shertbert lemons, is this a British sweet?
We have Sherbet Lemons here and they are very tasty 😋 If you are looking for a simple block to start with, you could try making the 'Nine Patch' - it's a good way to practice joining your seams. You could also add in some 'Disappearing Nine Patch' if you are feeling a like more adventurous. 'Trip Around the World' is also a good technique - you work with strips of fabric and it's the way you cut up your sewn strips that makes a lovely patchwork piece.
Cinder Toffee 😍 but if I can’t get it a crunchie will suffice. I’m in Arbroath in Scotland
I'm not sure if I've tried Cinder Toffee, but I do love Crunchies 😋
I love the tunnocks yarn, I had to get some after seeing yours. I also got the irn-bru. Have been trying to find the caramel wafer colourway but no luck. My favourie sweeties are smarties and creme eggs. x
Smarties and Creme Eggs - both good choices 😋 You could email the dyer from 'For the Love of Yarn' - she'll be able to tell you when the Caramel Wafer colourway will be available.
Jelly Babies. Kilmarnock, Scotland. Love the Tunnocks socks.
Jelly Babies are yummy 😋
Another lovely podcast thank you 😊 I love your Goldilocks cardigan 😂 I love a walnut whip!❤
Walnut Whips - I haven't seen those in a while 😊
