So awesome that you got to see all the wildlife in Yellowstone, but also a bear on your hike in Grand Teton National Park. Also excited that you made it to Knit on Pearl in Jackson, WY. I met you in CO at Lambspun and I'm so glad I am following your grand adventure now.
Hello, just a suggestion for you in your travels. When you get to North Dakota, if you can work in a visit to the Dakota Fiber Mill in Nome, you will get a great tour (I would call ahead though)! It is located in the Nome Schoolhouse which is a wonderful remodeled school that is a retreat and event center and they host all kinds of fiber related classes and retreats. They even have a camping area! They really are a hidden gem, I hope you get there.
How fun. You did get your wish on seeing a bear. It’s fun when we manifest those things. Stay safe and enjoy your travels. Thanks for these videos. Sending good vibes to you, Kent and (as always) Toaster too. He is as chill as one of my beagle mix buddies. My guy snores too.
For the crochet blanket, perhaps try the '15 min a day' routine. Set timer for 15 minutes and hyper-focus on that piece in that time. If you do that every day you should be able to cram together a lot of stitches. Good Luck! I think all your stuff looks great!
Great podcast as always. You made me smile every time you said Grand Teton as in French it means Big teats. The Grand Teton were originally named "Trois tétons" by French trappers in the early 1900s.
Hi Natalie. I have a suggestion for a knitted project bag. The Skrabucket by Theresia Lew. It’s on Ravelry. I just knit one and love it. It is a quick knit, a bit like the Musselburgh Hat. I love your videos and seeing what you’re making. Thanks for sharing. ❤
First time I’ve purchased for sock week. Last year I was still a beginner knitter/sock maker. Bought from Wool and works Australia as its local to me. Thank you for bringing all of us together from around the world Natalie. Can’t wait to see all the socks
I am originally from Illinois but moved to Wickenburg Arizona last year. I work at our local knitting shop here in Wickenburg. Too bad we couldn't meet up when you were in Tempe. We are about 90 minute north or Tempe. The shop is Isabelle's Yarn Parlour
I loved hearing your bear story. Now you have a bear story like my grizzly mama bear story I shared on Instagram about our hike in Glacier. Glad you and everyone else were safe. It certainly is amazing, interesting and scary all at once. Me, I prefer my very large stuffed teddy bear collection. I knit sweaters for teddy bears for baby gifts. I continue to love all your travels; and all you are doing for the knitting and crocheting community. Have a wonderful vacation. 💖
I've been watching your channel for a while as a crocheter, and I'm proud to say that I'm watching today for the first time while knitting! You have been such an inspiration for me to start 🥰
That is so cool to hear about the fruit and veggie male in your membership! I don't know what the criteria is for it, but I have some crochet vegetable stuffy patterns on ravelry if you're looking for something crochet within the theme!
I started the BoK in May using the Cabin in the Woods colorway. Love it so far,I am trying to get May done before June arrives. I wish I would have done crochet since I am not very good at it but I am more comfortable with knitting. Idid use your link also.
When making mittens, for the thumb you make a triangle before actually working the thumb ‘length’ because your hand sticks out on the base of the thumb. And you need a bit of extra room there! So my guess is the lower point is the base. Then you get directions to increase. Before making and finishing with the actual hole of the thumb 😊
For the base of the thumb question, look at the pattern photos on ravelry, you can see where their thumbs are coming out and you probably will adjust for you.
Natalie I bought one of the cotopaxi chalk bags based on your recommendation for knitting and walking. The people at the outdoor shop thought it was both hilarious and awesome.
@@violashook they are originally designed for rockclimbers to carry chalk for their hands, but natalie found it's a great size for a 100 g cake of yarn. she mentioned it in her video about knitting while hiking.
Are you going only to the 63 national parks with ‘National park’ in the name? Or are you trying to go to all 429 sites including National battlefields, National historic sites, national monuments, national seashores and national recreational sites?
As always, love following along w you and your adventures ❤

I higher recommend the Nome Schoolhouse as well. So much fun there. About an hour west-south-west of Fargo

I will take the Toaster background ANY day!
Toaster's reaction when you said "true vacation" 👀 too good 😄
Love your bear story and so glad it was happily wandering and not protecting cubs 😳 pleased you’re all safe and can share your story ❤

Yay for Toaster in the background!
If I saw a bear I would probably panic. The biggest animal in my day-to-day life is a Great Dane, so yeah.
Wow quite the National Park adventures!! Beautiful projects. I love your planning video too.

Here in the first hour, ready to enjoy me some knitting Natty and Toaster!

Base of thumb is probably wherever your thumb joint starts to stick out from your wrist width! That sporti shawl is looking so so so good!!!

Why are the bags called "chalk" bags?

What kind of heel did you do on that vanilla is the new black socks in this video!?!! Thank you!
It’s always windy in WY
💛
Have you tried on the vanilla is the new black do they fit good initially?
