Don't force yourself to shorten your videos! I suspect that your other viewers just like me - love to spend time with you while knitting. So longer video is always a treat!
It's interesting you raise the idea about fast fashion pushing itself into the knitting and crochet community. I remember seeing something a couple of years ago saying that home sewing is becoming the new fast fashion and it was quite a good point - people get into handicrafts and handmaking things to avoid buying fast fashion, but are now doing it excessively. I'm guilty of it as well
I binge watched your videos. I crochet very slow & your voice is very soothing. I always feel like peoples voices are usually like their siblings & family members. I loved all your sweaters!
Well done on reaching 10K subscribers, Isabella! It’s very well deserved, too. I practically drop everything when I see a notification that you have uploaded a new video! You are amusing, sincere, and thought- provoking, and I enjoy watching you so much! Thanks for your contributions to the crafting community…!
Wow!!! I love that you hit 10k!!! Obviously I'm not the only one that feels like you have such a great vibe and want to "hang" out with you with your videos!!! Awesome 🎉🎉🎉
The gravely voice thing is going around - someone left a similar "vocal fry" comment on one of my videos, and another podcaster recently commented about the same thing. I have to laugh at how there's someone out there so bothered by our voices that they're watching entire episodes then leaving comments about how they're going bananas.
Gravely voice... my goodness. I very much prefer listening to Isabella than to those AI produced voiceovers. Sometimes trolls just seem to run out of nasty things to say 😂
If you ever have an off month and don’t want to put in much effort, just throw in a video of Supercuts of the kitties and I’d probably just have it playing on a loop forever (for my own pets and me). They’re amazing hobbit cats.
@@BreathingYarnhave you considered knitting them little hobbity vests and crocheting them hobbit wig-hats for Halloween? 🎃 Then you and your Hubby could be Treebeard and an Entwife, or another Ent, or Gandalf the white! The pictures recreating scenes from the movies would be ✨chefs kiss ✨ and spectacular!
@@CallMeAL1 It's like you're inside my brain. So, long-story-short, i made my husband a Gandolf costume for a wedding. I have a lady-hobbit outfit already, so all we need are little hobbit outfits for the kitties!!!
I’ll echo a sentiment others have said: I love love love the finishing WIPs videos!! Before finding your channel, I remember actually wishing someone would make a video like that :) your channel is exactly the cozy vibes I love and, as was mentioned in a comment in the video, the fact that you can take things at your own pace is lovely. I’ve seen so many videos of people rushing projects on a time crunch and losing all the enjoyment out of the craft, and your videos remind me that we are doing this for ourselves and no one else
Very enjoyable 😆 As ever you brighten my Sundays whatever the subject. I am part of your ‘older lady’ demographic and I love your voice , certainly wouldn’t be drawn to listen if it was gravelly insincere. Please carry on being you I so want to knit The Halibut and after your colourwork video am encouraged but maybe I should start with something easier, I don’t know.
I just absolutely love your videos. Your channel is so cozy and I love that you're so up front about what's going on with your projects, the ways that you're trying to troubleshoot an issue, and your sheer enjoyment of this craft. It's so wonderful.
I absolutely loved your patchwork quilt video along with you working on your WIPs. I have always been so frustrated with sewing 😡 (many echo the sentiment) but when watching your quilt video I felt like we were struggling together. Congrats on 10k!!!! 🎉
@@BreathingYarnI knit vintage and so anything like that would be lovely. One of your older female viewers here. I've been here nearly from the beginning and find your voice and style very relaxing. My shoulders say thank you!
i'd love to see you make a project that includes both knit and crochet. i find mixing those so interesting but rarely see people do it. also love the hour long videos. and any other video!
More scrappy projects would be fun, and journaling content would also be cool. I'll add my two cents about your voice, it is lovely and very calming. Congrats on 10k!
I just love your videos and I’m so glad there’s so many people commenting mostly nice things towards you. I watch every video but don’t comment often (actually this may be my first comment) because I watch on my tv but I pulled out my phone real quick to say I enjoy starting my day w your videos. Your soothing and positive energy is so helpful especially when my days haven’t been going so well 🫶🏽
Congratulations! You so deserve this success! Your videos are so calming yet are realistic for being a younger person knitting and still working full time! Best knitting channel I’ve watched! Also I’m all for the hour long videos! Do whatever works for you!
"We competed at the state fair in... ladders.." Seeing the picture and in context it makes sense, but out of context it sounds like "I majored in underwater basket weaving." I would tell people all the time, but without the context, so people are left wondering "was she joking? What is a ladder competition??"
Haha 🤣 so ladders is how fast you can safely set up a retracting ladder and how quickly you can scale up it and get a leg hold to hang off the side of the ladder while holding an axe.
Congratulations on 10K! I'm making my way through all of your videos! I love your take on podcasting/video making! Thank you for sharing all of this with us! 😊
Been making my way through your videos for the past week. I am a crocheter and these videos have given me the push I need to pick up knitting. Just ordered my interchangeable knitting needles.
I'm watching this as someone who just found your channel today and I am 1000% binge watching your videos right now. You're very calming and when you mentioned your cats are Pippin and Merry that's when I hit subscribe 🥲
As a viewer I really like your release schedule! I understand why there's pressure to put out more content faster but I personally find it really overwhelming when people are releasing videos every week (or more frequently). Too often I'll miss a week and then just.. won't watch anymore. Not constantly pushing out content has led to me being really excited when your latest video pops up on my subscription page. Every creator that I'm excited about, regardless of size, releases content less frequently.
Congrats on 10k! I love your release schedule because it feels like a settled time that I can sit down and do things my adhd brain has been procrastinating and the week off makes me take a break. Love the 1 hour long videos for that reason too! Keep it up!🤍
Binge watching your channel and got to here, love what your doing and keep doing it. Pippin is indeed the real star though and every time I see either of your cats, it makes me really happy!
Congratulations on reaching 10k!! The brilliant cinematography and music creates a cozy friendly vibe and I am left feeling that I ve had a nice chat with a friend :) Something I would like to see is a project that mixes knitting and crochet.
The first video of yours I watched was Every Sweater I’ve Ever Made and it inspired me to make my first sweater! I’ve been knitting/crocheting for years but was always intimidated by the thought of a whole sweater. I can proudly say that I am halfway through the Halibut Sweater and I’m amazed by it every day. Thank you for your videos!!!
commenting on the commenting on comments video. Your videos are my favorite! Congratulations on 10k, you absolutely deserve it - such original ideas, making knitting content evocative and inspiring. Thank you for all your hard work ❤
I loved this one, so cool to hear your thoughts not just on comments but on your old videos and and the journey itself. Congrats on 10k! Future video idea: Interpreting your favourite piece of art into crochet?
Congrats on 10k! I’m one of your loyal older female subscribers! 😊 I find your content refreshing. As for male subscribers, my retired materials engineer husband would never subscribe to a knitting channel, but he is aware of what I watch, and he thinks you’re fantastic. And he is going to love your LED comments because I am always nagging him to turn off the lights, even though they are all LED! 🤪 ~ Brenda
I love the WIP videos. I actually work on my WIPS while watching. These videos give me motivation to get my stuff done. I do love that you put your personality into the videos. My husband is trying to start his own channel for his music and has many ideas which he doesn't know how to execute. He asks me and I have no clue. I tell him just to push a button to see what happens. (That's how I took done the University of Minnesota School of Engineering's entire intranet system in the 1980's.) While I don't have time to watch all your videos as soon as they come out, I will definitely set aside some time to watch your videos while I work on my own projects.
@BreathingYarn Thank you! I had to move from Paraguay back to my parents' house in Puerto Rico. It was stressful at the beginning, but now I found some kind of balance.
You really do have such a calming voice. I just found your channel today as I was crocheting, and I like to listen to certain videos and music while I do so. You have a really soothing energy. It's like talking to a friend in person. :)
Hi hi! I'm one of those who has been binging your videos the past few weeks. As a fellow Femme in STEM, I adore your approach to fiber crafts and honestly life in general. I care deeply about sustainability but as someone in SoFlo I have to accept that cotton blends will be my most wearable projects. I love measurements (why are all of my crochet and knit books in imperial????) but hate counting overall, so I'm attempting to take inspiration from you. Thank you for your personal pace compared to the extreme speed of tutorial channels.
So... no shame, but you put nude beach twice in your bobs burgers journal page ( i had to screen shot it so i could judge your taste) hahaha Also love your videos! Keep up the great work!
Congrats to the 10k! I fell in love with your channel from the first video I watched, the whole calm, cozy, aestethic vibe, your choice of music, the projects you make, your personality, and of course, the real stars of the show. I have two feline jerks of my own, and it's always fun to watch a fellow crafter have to deal with the tiny marauders living rent free in their home. It's comforting to know I'm not the only one who has to deal with a cat crawling into the half made sweater on my lap, or whatever else kind of nonsense they come up with. This is probably super niche, but I'm really into vintage knitting (and crochet) mystery patterns. I know you self draft a lot, and also, vintage terminology is a whole weird world of it's own, but I'd love to see you tackle a mystery pattern. Doesn't even have to be vintage, I mostly just love the mystery aspect and trying to figure it out.
Congratulations on reaching 10 thousand subscribers! About the voice: I do think you have one of the best voices of all people I have ever heard (yes, in my life). But lately it changed a bit, maybe you changed equipment or there is some other technical reason. Anyway, it's not only the voice but also your intonations, you speak in a soothing and pleasant manner and I love it. Unrelated: the way you treat your cats with respect always melts my heart. I adore the chemistry you have with Pippin. I should probably add "and Merry", it's just that we haven't seen much of her... thank you for explaining about her unwillingness to be in front of the camera, I was wondering why she's not in your videos as much as Pippin. Regarding ideas for videos, I'd watch anything, I'm not here strictly for knitting and crochet. Anything that you'd like to make a video about would be interesting because you are an interesting person. I like your journalling vidoes a lot, I also like movies and would enjoy something in that direction (also I'm honestly not a stalker but I did watch your "100 movies" journal pages on 0.25 speed, repeatedly hitting pause in order to see each and every film you chose and your comments about them).
I would totally do the same 😂 I made sure to include a slow-ish flip through all the movies so if someone wanted to slow it down more and see which movies I wrote down, they totally could!
Congratulations on 10k! Can’t wait to see the future of your channel! I actually started a journal because of you and introduction to a low pressure style of journaling ☺️
I loved your journaling video! I like that you made it look so easy and kinda casual. Whatever you make I'm excited to see the future of your channel! Congrats on 10K!!!!
Woooo congrats on 10k subs!! I have loved your videos ever since I found your channel! Youre inspiring me to revive my booktube channel (not this account, this is my personal account). I love seeing your "getting wips DONE" videos because they help motivate me to finish some of my unfinished crochet projects. I dont knit and yet love hearing you talk about knitting! Thanks for being you ❤️
I'm a bit late, but congratulations on 10K subscribers! It's almost 11 now! I certainly agree with the comment that said your video quality is that of a channel with 100K subscribers or more. I really enjoy every video you put out, especially the ones where you finish your WIPs! I would love to see more journaling videos too, your last video about it inspired me to pick my journal back up after a loooong time
Congrats on 10k!!💪 💪 💪 Love all the videos you make, they drive away the Sunday scaries. ☕ From a previous video where you were discussing movies, I would highly suggest you watch if you haven't already Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind. Maybe with a bottle of red wine and the kitties. As for future videos, I'd love to see more painting? And always knitting, but anything really. I'm currently knitting a free ravelry pattern called Bold Art Deco Pillow Cover and loving it. Small project but it will perk up the living room. ♥ ♥
The art deco pillow is so cute, excellent choice!! I also have been wanting to watch eternal sunshine and I feel like I’ve been “saving it” I gotta stop saving it and start watching it!
Have you read Knitting for Anarchists by Anna Zilboorg, yet? As a neuro spicy brain and an engineer, I LOVE how she breaks down stitches and explains them. It really helps me solve when I’ve made a mistake. Commenting this here because I think you’d love the book - but then you could do a video on it. Always love your videos. Keep being authentically you xoxo
competitive CPR is somthing I didn't know existed but now I think should probably be in the olympics also: you really do have a nice voice. and congrats on 10K!!
I enjoyed this video, and I really appreciate that you talk about how you feel about making videos and knitting :) I liked your recent video about colorwork knitting patterns and i wanted to suggest a similar one that focused more on different textures that knitting can create. I have knit 4 sweaters so far and it always takes me an immense ammount of time to decide what stitch I should use because I don't want to do ribs or stockinette for most of my sweaters. I did brioche, some kind of woven stitch, where you pass the yarn in front of every second stitch of every second row alternating between even and odd numbers, and then the sticth that kutovakika does for the pride and pearls cardigan, I don't know what it's called, it is similar to broken rib. I like all of these textures, the "ribbed" ones are better for sweaters in my opinion. In general though I haven't found to many textures that I like for my sweaters on my body. I know this is a very specific suggestion, don't worry if you don't like it ^^ Have a good week and I am looking forward to your next one
congrats on 10k!! you should be so proud of yourself omg,, your videos are so cosy and make me feel so welcome and safe and i cannot thank you enough for that! as for videos, i love when you document the journey of a specific project, its really interesting to see other makers' process and problem solving, and its soo nice to work on something alongside too, but honestly i love everything you make so j keep doing what you're doing haha
It’s funny that everyone’s been saying you look like Anya Taylor-Joy, I can totally see that now but the first video of yours I saw I thought ‘this person looks so much like Katherine Heigl.’ That’s still what I think every time I see one of your videos! Congrats on 10k!
Hi! I love your videos, this is the first time I'm commenting on a TH-cam video at all; I'll just put it out here. I would love to see a video where you are just knitting anything and maybe talk about how you improved in knitting; I am mostly a crocheter just recently getting into knitting. Once again I really love your videos!
Yas! ✨ this was entertaining, and fun (you are funny and genuine and it comes through :D) and your videos are always a treat! so many “and”s… Since you invited us to type down video ideas… I’m one of those nuts that goes all in on a project the first time they try something out. Never made a proper color work project before, or a round yoke, nor short rows in the body but I am planning the fox tales sweater (theperiteknitter) for my husband After sending this comment I’ll probably go browse your older videos, but was wondering if you will have a process video for color work project in your future plans? Anyways looking forward to your future work ✨
When you read the comment about someone being surprised you only had 40 followers, I thought it was sweet now that you do have as many as some other TH-camrs with 100k+ followers… then you said you are about to hit 10k and now I’M surprised you don’t have more 😂 Still, congrats on this milestone! 🎉
You’re amazing! Thank you so much 😊 I can’t wait to see what happens to this channel the longer I do this and I hope I keep growing my TH-cam skills, there’s so much to learn 🥰
Congratulations on the 10K! I’m not at all surprised at your rate of increase because you’re such a real down-to-earth, interesting and intelligent woman with a great sense of humor. I’m one of your “older-but-not-that-old cat lady” followers who has had a variety of interests through life, so I enjoy watching your videos whether journaling, crocheting, knitting, or the adventures of glider riding, or a trip to the vet to have your cats’ anal glands expressed 😄. Im looking forward to more videos and enjoy learning from your knitting content as I’m trying to teach myself to knit. P.S. I don’t think you look anything like Anya Taylor-Joy, at all.

As an Australian with a slight allergy to strong American accents yours is lovely. I literally can’t watch some videos because I can’t stand the accent. I love your videos and I am totally here for the long form ones ❤
I loooove your long videos, if it's easier for you (less cut) I think I'm not the only one to appreciate that! 🙏 I don't like whatching anything on insta or tt (don't have that) because of the "short video", so I pivoted into YT and found something more real through longer videos. Plus, we get to understand more the train of thoughts behind project, the best part! :)
just wanted to say that i LOOOVE the non tutorial content and the WIP finishing videos!!! and i have also thought you look like anya taylor joy, to the point of calling you "the fiber arts youtuber who looks like anya taylor joy" when reminding a friend of who i was talking about hahaha
congrats on 10k subs! on a previous video you mentioned wanting to crochet you and your husband as amiguru and I think that would be fun to watch, and idk how you feel about skirts but making a knit/crochet skirt might be an idea :) (to the you and your husband you could knit a little mask for him to wear for the internet)
I love these type of videos. LOL! Love your videos. It always gets me that some people choose to spend their time writing negative comments. Not constructive in any way, just negative. What the heck, just pick something else to watch people, LOL! But they do make for entertaining content. Make your videos as long or short as you want. Guess what, I have a pause button if something gets too long and I have to come back to it. Gravely voice, tell them it's from growing up midwestern. We talk fast and gravely due to the winters. We are midwestern grown, we can blame everything on the winters, LOL Take care and you gave me more than a couple of laughs during this one.
@@BreathingYarn If it's not below zero, it's not really that cold. If it's above 50, it's shorts weather in any month between January & November. We have to talk fast or our mouths might freeze open or shut, and another word for gravely voice is 'that Stevie Nix quality' and who doesn't like that.Take care.
Oh my that anya taylor joy comment was mine! I'm sorry I've been MIA. I still love your videos and have absolutely loved watching your channel grow from 10 to 10K but life happened and i haven't been that active lately👉👈 still a subscriber and will forever be
10k 🎉 One of my other favourites, Danish musings, also ponders whether it is good to publish other than purely knitting stuff. She noticed that people unsubscribed. Well I say, do your own thing because THAT is why we, your fathful followers, subscribe. Isabella, I like you for what you are and what you do and 10 000 other peple agree with me. Onwards and upwards! You are a trailblazer❤ regards Sari
Danish Musings had been such a beautiful source of inspiration for me, thank you for the reminder of that message. I remember that video of hers and I think I’m due to rewatch it!
Gravely voice? Raspy voice? WTF? I don't think there is any basis in reality for that at all! You have a very nice voice 😊 Edit: As a crocheter, I love it when a crochet project pops up now and then! I watch a lot of knitting podcasts and videos and don't expect people to also crochet, but when they do, it's fun!
My first hate comment was about my voice and how I was forcing a vocal fry. What is wrong with people? Like you really think I change my voice for every single video? I talked like this my whole life.
@@BreathingYarn right? I have never once turned off a video because of someone's voice or felt the need to comment about it. I think you have a lovely voice.
Hey girlie. I just wanted to tell you I was unsubscribed from your channel. I don't know if it has happened to anyone else but just thought I would bring it to your attention.
Did I just see (I'm deaf) you asking for suggestions as to what type of content we would enjoy seeing here? I Have one: Just sit and knit for a half hour or so, so those of us who also knit (or other fiber craft) can sit and do our work with you. Like a quiet(?) fiber fling. Any chance we will ever see your husband? Fully understand if he is not willing/comfortable.
pretty sure the reason your legwarmer video has the least amount of views is because the thumbnail doesnt highlight what you're trying to show. If you look at the image, the brown boots, your light jeans, your grey socks, the grey couch, the white pillows, even the gingham jacket (rug?) nearby, all stand out more than the actual legwarmers. i have no idea how long the legwarmers are or what the finish fabric looks like
One of the reasons I watch you is you have a nice voice. It's not the only reason tho. But an annoying voice will make me not watch a video, yours is not one
Don't force yourself to shorten your videos! I suspect that your other viewers just like me - love to spend time with you while knitting. So longer video is always a treat!
Agreed! I always look for longer videos when I’m crafting so I can get into a flow without choosing a new video

"We competed at the state fair in... ladders.." Seeing the picture and in context it makes sense, but out of context it sounds like "I majored in underwater basket weaving." I would tell people all the time, but without the context, so people are left wondering "was she joking? What is a ladder competition??"
Haha 🤣 so ladders is how fast you can safely set up a retracting ladder and how quickly you can scale up it and get a leg hold to hang off the side of the ladder while holding an axe.

Binge watching your channel and got to here, love what your doing and keep doing it. Pippin is indeed the real star though and every time I see either of your cats, it makes me really happy!
Oh my gosh, thank you so much 😊
I love your honesty! And the fact that you literally stopped at the last video I catch up this noon so I wasn't lost. 🤭 Congrats on your 10k! 👏🎉
Congratulations on reaching 10k!! The brilliant cinematography and music creates a cozy friendly vibe and I am left feeling that I ve had a nice chat with a friend :) Something I would like to see is a project that mixes knitting and crochet.
Yesss! That’s a must, I’ve had a project in mind and I’m definitely gonna work on that video 🥰
The first video of yours I watched was Every Sweater I’ve Ever Made and it inspired me to make my first sweater! I’ve been knitting/crocheting for years but was always intimidated by the thought of a whole sweater. I can proudly say that I am halfway through the Halibut Sweater and I’m amazed by it every day. Thank you for your videos!!!
That’s honestly so amazing!!! I hope you celebrate when it’s done, throw yourself a little sweater party 🎉
commenting on the commenting on comments video. Your videos are my favorite! Congratulations on 10k, you absolutely deserve it - such original ideas, making knitting content evocative and inspiring. Thank you for all your hard work ❤
Thank you 😊🥰
I loved this one, so cool to hear your thoughts not just on comments but on your old videos and and the journey itself. Congrats on 10k! Future video idea: Interpreting your favourite piece of art into crochet?
That’s an amazing idea!
The journaling video was excellent. Your art is amazing and I can see art and fiber, together, as your future.😊
Congrats on 10k! I’m one of your loyal older female subscribers! 😊 I find your content refreshing. As for male subscribers, my retired materials engineer husband would never subscribe to a knitting channel, but he is aware of what I watch, and he thinks you’re fantastic. And he is going to love your LED comments because I am always nagging him to turn off the lights, even though they are all LED! 🤪 ~ Brenda
😂 that’s amazing Brenda! Hello from a materials engineer just starting their career to a retired materials engineer!
I love the WIP videos. I actually work on my WIPS while watching. These videos give me motivation to get my stuff done. I do love that you put your personality into the videos. My husband is trying to start his own channel for his music and has many ideas which he doesn't know how to execute. He asks me and I have no clue. I tell him just to push a button to see what happens. (That's how I took done the University of Minnesota School of Engineering's entire intranet system in the 1980's.) While I don't have time to watch all your videos as soon as they come out, I will definitely set aside some time to watch your videos while I work on my own projects.
Oh you definitely don’t have to make time to watch my videos. Love your awesome life! Also love the U of M story 😂
Few months ago I had to move so I didn’t have enough time to watch your videos. Now that I have more time I’m binge watching them. 😊
Omg you’re too sweet. I hope the move wasn’t too stressful, I know they can be really tough!
@BreathingYarn Thank you! I had to move from Paraguay back to my parents' house in Puerto Rico. It was stressful at the beginning, but now I found some kind of balance.
@@GabitoRivera Mi español no es muy bueno pero estoy aprendiendo. Espero que puedas disfrutar viviendo en Puerto Rico con tus padres.
@@BreathingYarn Muchas gracias! Tu español es muy bueno! 🥰🥰
You really do have such a calming voice. I just found your channel today as I was crocheting, and I like to listen to certain videos and music while I do so. You have a really soothing energy. It's like talking to a friend in person. :)
Hi hi! I'm one of those who has been binging your videos the past few weeks. As a fellow Femme in STEM, I adore your approach to fiber crafts and honestly life in general. I care deeply about sustainability but as someone in SoFlo I have to accept that cotton blends will be my most wearable projects. I love measurements (why are all of my crochet and knit books in imperial????) but hate counting overall, so I'm attempting to take inspiration from you.
Thank you for your personal pace compared to the extreme speed of tutorial channels.
Congrats at 10K! I will watch all your videos.
Thank you!!!
You definitely don’t have a forced, gravely voice! I find your voice soothing and calming.
Your favourite things, I’d like to see a video about that. Congratulations on the subscribers! x
I love talking about my favorite things!
@@BreathingYarn yay! Video incoming then!
So... no shame, but you put nude beach twice in your bobs burgers journal page ( i had to screen shot it so i could judge your taste) hahaha
Also love your videos! Keep up the great work!
Twice for a reason 😂
Congratulations on 10k subs! Absolutely deserved!! I always love your videos
Thank you! (Love your user name btw)
@@BreathingYarn aw thanks!! I love yours too!!
im running out of your videos to watch and i still have more projects to work on lol i also love the phrase "crazy town banana pants" amazing!
Underrated saying for sure!
Congrats to the 10k! I fell in love with your channel from the first video I watched, the whole calm, cozy, aestethic vibe, your choice of music, the projects you make, your personality, and of course, the real stars of the show. I have two feline jerks of my own, and it's always fun to watch a fellow crafter have to deal with the tiny marauders living rent free in their home. It's comforting to know I'm not the only one who has to deal with a cat crawling into the half made sweater on my lap, or whatever else kind of nonsense they come up with.
This is probably super niche, but I'm really into vintage knitting (and crochet) mystery patterns. I know you self draft a lot, and also, vintage terminology is a whole weird world of it's own, but I'd love to see you tackle a mystery pattern. Doesn't even have to be vintage, I mostly just love the mystery aspect and trying to figure it out.
I have never thought about making a mystery pattern before but you have officially sparked my curiosity and now I’m afraid I must do that!!!
@@BreathingYarn *whispers* one of us, one of us, one of us
Congratulations on reaching 10 thousand subscribers! About the voice: I do think you have one of the best voices of all people I have ever heard (yes, in my life). But lately it changed a bit, maybe you changed equipment or there is some other technical reason. Anyway, it's not only the voice but also your intonations, you speak in a soothing and pleasant manner and I love it. Unrelated: the way you treat your cats with respect always melts my heart. I adore the chemistry you have with Pippin. I should probably add "and Merry", it's just that we haven't seen much of her... thank you for explaining about her unwillingness to be in front of the camera, I was wondering why she's not in your videos as much as Pippin. Regarding ideas for videos, I'd watch anything, I'm not here strictly for knitting and crochet. Anything that you'd like to make a video about would be interesting because you are an interesting person. I like your journalling vidoes a lot, I also like movies and would enjoy something in that direction (also I'm honestly not a stalker but I did watch your "100 movies" journal pages on 0.25 speed, repeatedly hitting pause in order to see each and every film you chose and your comments about them).
I would totally do the same 😂 I made sure to include a slow-ish flip through all the movies so if someone wanted to slow it down more and see which movies I wrote down, they totally could!
Congratulations on 10k! Can’t wait to see the future of your channel! I actually started a journal because of you and introduction to a low pressure style of journaling ☺️
That is awesome! Good luck 🥰
Congrats on 10k! So well deserved
I enjoy whatever video you put out. And congratulations on 10K !!!!!
Congrats on 10k!!! Well deserved! This was a fun video, something a little different :)
I loved your journaling video! I like that you made it look so easy and kinda casual. Whatever you make I'm excited to see the future of your channel! Congrats on 10K!!!!
Woooo congrats on 10k subs!! I have loved your videos ever since I found your channel! Youre inspiring me to revive my booktube channel (not this account, this is my personal account). I love seeing your "getting wips DONE" videos because they help motivate me to finish some of my unfinished crochet projects. I dont knit and yet love hearing you talk about knitting! Thanks for being you ❤️
Aweeee that’s amazing and thank you so much 😊
Congratulations on more than 10K🎉
I'm a bit late, but congratulations on 10K subscribers! It's almost 11 now! I certainly agree with the comment that said your video quality is that of a channel with 100K subscribers or more. I really enjoy every video you put out, especially the ones where you finish your WIPs! I would love to see more journaling videos too, your last video about it inspired me to pick my journal back up after a loooong time
Aweee thank you 🥰
Congrats on 10k!!💪 💪 💪
Love all the videos you make, they drive away the Sunday scaries. ☕
From a previous video where you were discussing movies, I would highly suggest you watch if you haven't already Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind. Maybe with a bottle of red wine and the kitties.
As for future videos, I'd love to see more painting? And always knitting, but anything really. I'm currently knitting a free ravelry pattern called Bold Art Deco Pillow Cover and loving it. Small project but it will perk up the living room. ♥ ♥
The art deco pillow is so cute, excellent choice!! I also have been wanting to watch eternal sunshine and I feel like I’ve been “saving it” I gotta stop saving it and start watching it!
@@BreathingYarn Agreed! Don't make any movie "too precious" to watch because you could overhype yourself and end up disappointed.
This was a fun video! You have interesting videos; I get so tired of watching formulaic videos by TH-camrs in the knit/crochet world.
Love your videos!
Thank you!
Have you read Knitting for Anarchists by Anna Zilboorg, yet? As a neuro spicy brain and an engineer, I LOVE how she breaks down stitches and explains them. It really helps me solve when I’ve made a mistake. Commenting this here because I think you’d love the book - but then you could do a video on it. Always love your videos. Keep being authentically you xoxo
competitive CPR is somthing I didn't know existed but now I think should probably be in the olympics
also: you really do have a nice voice. and congrats on 10K!!
I am so ready to hear any tips on making your own patterns.
Sweeet!!!
I enjoyed this video, and I really appreciate that you talk about how you feel about making videos and knitting :)
I liked your recent video about colorwork knitting patterns and i wanted to suggest a similar one that focused more on different textures that knitting can create. I have knit 4 sweaters so far and it always takes me an immense ammount of time to decide what stitch I should use because I don't want to do ribs or stockinette for most of my sweaters. I did brioche, some kind of woven stitch, where you pass the yarn in front of every second stitch of every second row alternating between even and odd numbers, and then the sticth that kutovakika does for the pride and pearls cardigan, I don't know what it's called, it is similar to broken rib. I like all of these textures, the "ribbed" ones are better for sweaters in my opinion. In general though I haven't found to many textures that I like for my sweaters on my body.
I know this is a very specific suggestion, don't worry if you don't like it ^^
Have a good week and I am looking forward to your next one
I'm new to your channel, and I have to say I love your vibe.
Thank you! That's so incredibly sweet!
congrats on 10k!! you should be so proud of yourself omg,, your videos are so cosy and make me feel so welcome and safe and i cannot thank you enough for that! as for videos, i love when you document the journey of a specific project, its really interesting to see other makers' process and problem solving, and its soo nice to work on something alongside too, but honestly i love everything you make so j keep doing what you're doing haha
Those are my favorite videos to make! They’ve helped hone my own process and understand it better. Thank you ☺️
It’s funny that everyone’s been saying you look like Anya Taylor-Joy, I can totally see that now but the first video of yours I saw I thought ‘this person looks so much like Katherine Heigl.’ That’s still what I think every time I see one of your videos! Congrats on 10k!
😂
Hi! I love your videos, this is the first time I'm commenting on a TH-cam video at all; I'll just put it out here. I would love to see a video where you are just knitting anything and maybe talk about how you improved in knitting; I am mostly a crocheter just recently getting into knitting. Once again I really love your videos!
Love it! Thank you so much for sharing 🥰 I really appreciate it. I think that’s a wonderful idea!
Yas! ✨ this was entertaining, and fun (you are funny and genuine and it comes through :D) and your videos are always a treat! so many “and”s…
Since you invited us to type down video ideas…
I’m one of those nuts that goes all in on a project the first time they try something out. Never made a proper color work project before, or a round yoke, nor short rows in the body
but I am planning the fox tales sweater (theperiteknitter) for my husband
After sending this comment I’ll probably go browse your older videos, but was wondering if you will have a process video for color work project in your future plans?
Anyways looking forward to your future work ✨
Ouuuu, maybe. 🤔 I think it’s awesome that you’re gonna go for the fox tales sweater!!!
I don’t recall your rug video 😮 I need to go and search through them 😊
It feels like forever ago 😂 It was my second ever video. th-cam.com/video/14wU1xKg3Jk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=RrfZfvZoqicup134
@@BreathingYarn you little star, thank you!
When you read the comment about someone being surprised you only had 40 followers, I thought it was sweet now that you do have as many as some other TH-camrs with 100k+ followers… then you said you are about to hit 10k and now I’M surprised you don’t have more 😂 Still, congrats on this milestone! 🎉
You’re amazing! Thank you so much 😊 I can’t wait to see what happens to this channel the longer I do this and I hope I keep growing my TH-cam skills, there’s so much to learn 🥰
Congratulations on the 10K! I’m not at all surprised at your rate of increase because you’re such a real down-to-earth, interesting and intelligent woman with a great sense of humor. I’m one of your “older-but-not-that-old cat lady” followers who has had a variety of interests through life, so I enjoy watching your videos whether journaling, crocheting, knitting, or the adventures of glider riding, or a trip to the vet to have your cats’ anal glands expressed 😄. Im looking forward to more videos and enjoy learning from your knitting content as I’m trying to teach myself to knit.
P.S. I don’t think you look anything like Anya Taylor-Joy, at all.

Ooh id love a video on self drafting patterns! I wanna get into designing my own patterns I just don't know where to start
I just finished filming the self drafting video so it’ll be out some time in the next 3 weeks :)
Happy 10K subbies. 🎉 Maybe it's the millennial in me, but I have to turn the lights off. 😂
As an Australian with a slight allergy to strong American accents yours is lovely. I literally can’t watch some videos because I can’t stand the accent. I love your videos and I am totally here for the long form ones ❤
I loooove your long videos, if it's easier for you (less cut) I think I'm not the only one to appreciate that! 🙏 I don't like whatching anything on insta or tt (don't have that) because of the "short video", so I pivoted into YT and found something more real through longer videos. Plus, we get to understand more the train of thoughts behind project, the best part! :)
just wanted to say that i LOOOVE the non tutorial content and the WIP finishing videos!!! and i have also thought you look like anya taylor joy, to the point of calling you "the fiber arts youtuber who looks like anya taylor joy" when reminding a friend of who i was talking about hahaha
😂 I love that!
Great job you gave me to push start to just post something on TH-cam 😊 thx
Yayyy!
I lovooove your your channel! I'm actually at the point of watching every video :) and can't wait for more
Thank you so much!!
congrats on 10k subs!
on a previous video you mentioned wanting to crochet you and your husband as amiguru and I think that would be fun to watch, and idk how you feel about skirts but making a knit/crochet skirt might be an idea :)
(to the you and your husband you could knit a little mask for him to wear for the internet)
I am loving all those ideas! I’ve actually been itching to make a crochet skirt!
I love these type of videos. LOL! Love your videos. It always gets me that some people choose to spend their time writing negative comments. Not constructive in any way, just negative. What the heck, just pick something else to watch people, LOL! But they do make for entertaining content.
Make your videos as long or short as you want. Guess what, I have a pause button if something gets too long and I have to come back to it. Gravely voice, tell them it's from growing up midwestern. We talk fast and gravely due to the winters. We are midwestern grown, we can blame everything on the winters, LOL Take care and you gave me more than a couple of laughs during this one.
lol, thank you for this! Midwesterners are a different breed. There’s not enough love for midwestern grown folks!
@@BreathingYarn If it's not below zero, it's not really that cold. If it's above 50, it's shorts weather in any month between January & November. We have to talk fast or our mouths might freeze open or shut, and another word for gravely voice is 'that Stevie Nix quality' and who doesn't like that.Take care.
Oh my that anya taylor joy comment was mine! I'm sorry I've been MIA. I still love your videos and have absolutely loved watching your channel grow from 10 to 10K but life happened and i haven't been that active lately👉👈 still a subscriber and will forever be
10k 🎉 One of my other favourites, Danish musings, also ponders whether it is good to publish other than purely knitting stuff. She noticed that people unsubscribed. Well I say, do your own thing because THAT is why we, your fathful followers, subscribe. Isabella, I like you for what you are and what you do and 10 000 other peple agree with me. Onwards and upwards! You are a trailblazer❤ regards Sari
Danish Musings had been such a beautiful source of inspiration for me, thank you for the reminder of that message. I remember that video of hers and I think I’m due to rewatch it!
My mamaw put my glow-in-the-dwrk barbie doll on a lamp to "charge" it once and it started smoking 😅 melted the barbies face 😂
Oh no 😱🤣
You should make a second channel with your unpublished videos
Noooo... She should publish them here, snippets at time. We would all love them... well, at least enjoy them because we LOVE Isabella 😊
Hi! Im not sure, I can see Taylor- Joy but I think you look more like the 27 dresses girl lol fun video! Love the cozy vibes, fun to knit to
Gravely voice? Raspy voice? WTF? I don't think there is any basis in reality for that at all! You have a very nice voice 😊 Edit: As a crocheter, I love it when a crochet project pops up now and then! I watch a lot of knitting podcasts and videos and don't expect people to also crochet, but when they do, it's fun!
I love crochet projects, I have a couple coming up that I’m really excited for!
@@BreathingYarn Hooray! 🧶
My first hate comment was about my voice and how I was forcing a vocal fry. What is wrong with people? Like you really think I change my voice for every single video? I talked like this my whole life.
😂 I love knowing that it’s not just me. There’s some serial commenters who have no patience for real human voices!
@@BreathingYarn right? I have never once turned off a video because of someone's voice or felt the need to comment about it. I think you have a lovely voice.
Hey girlie. I just wanted to tell you I was unsubscribed from your channel. I don't know if it has happened to anyone else but just thought I would bring it to your attention.
Whoa super weird! Thanks for letting me know
@@BreathingYarn you're welcome, and I did resub. I really enjoy your channel.
Did I just see (I'm deaf) you asking for suggestions as to what type of content we would enjoy seeing here? I Have one:
Just sit and knit for a half hour or so, so those of us who also knit (or other fiber craft) can sit and do our work with you. Like a quiet(?) fiber fling.
Any chance we will ever see your husband? Fully understand if he is not willing/comfortable.
I honestly have no idea about if he will make an appearance or not. I kinda hope so but I get it if he wants to be an off-camera mystery fella.
pretty sure the reason your legwarmer video has the least amount of views is because the thumbnail doesnt highlight what you're trying to show. If you look at the image, the brown boots, your light jeans, your grey socks, the grey couch, the white pillows, even the gingham jacket (rug?) nearby, all stand out more than the actual legwarmers. i have no idea how long the legwarmers are or what the finish fabric looks like
That’s a super valid point. Thumbnails have for sure been the toughest part of TH-cam for me. Total work in progress.
One of the reasons I watch you is you have a nice voice. It's not the only reason tho. But an annoying voice will make me not watch a video, yours is not one
I’ve definitely unfollowed people because I just couldn’t get used to their voice
