Now you’ll have to go down the rabbit hole watching all the cross stitch you tube videos.
You had me at Marsh Mallow Midsummer Murders 🤣🤣🤣
You mentioned Vera Stanhope I’m watching reruns of the series here in England made me smile, Vera is wearing a ditsy print blouse with a knitted scarf the same colour green as the blouse you were wearing. I’ll be watching closely from now on😂. My brother lives in Northumberland spent many holidays there beautiful county as is Yorkshire where I live. Love your podcasts thank you c
You truly are the best
Love your pink sweater!
Sooo, I can absolutely relate to the fear of a wider leg pant! I love wide leg pants and often call them my socially acceptable pajamas. One day, I dramatically bit it in the parking of my workplace. I was wearing extremely wide leg pants and pointy shoes. I had successfully navigated my way down a treacherous open staircase, out of the office and halfway across the parking lot. At that point, I had to step up unto the curb of a small sidewalk area. While doing so, the jabby pointy bit of my shoe caught inside of my pants and I felt my pants pull me forward. I had that moment of knowing I could do nothing to prevent this fall while flailing my arms wildly. My brand new hyrdoflask went flying as my hands, chest and knees skidded against the concrete that was previously below my feet. To put the cherry on top, my laptop in my tote bag jabbed me in the ribs. To this day I am reminded of the danger of wide leg pants ever time I use the water bottle that bears the scars of that incident.
As along time stitcher and more recent knitter it’s such fun to see you go down the rabbit hole of needlework. 😊
You are so enjoyable to watch!!!
Amy Beth , I used to watch your knitting podcast. Carolyn from Curious Crafters mentioned you. I am happy that I found you again. Looking forward to seeing more videos ❤
Love the colors on your Baltian!
7:08 you want patreon but for sheep care. Totally a great idea!
Longwayhomestead has a sponsorsheep program where you contribute to their upkeep and at the end you get a skein or fibre according to the amount you give!
💚 Vera, both the books and series. Your pants looked great; you make me want to learn to sew, even though I know I don't enjoy sewing😂. I had to laugh when you talked about your B belly and the struggles finding pants that fit. I am not plus size, but the B belly is a thing at any size. I also have hip dips, so my lower B and high to mid hip measurements are basically the same. Every time I bend over, my pants slide down🤣
I enjoyed seeing all of your beautiful cross stitch. I buy single balls of Valdani from The Rusty Crow.
I love your idea for the sheep scholarship.
Ooooh your sweater is gorgeous! I’m in same quizzical spot on the fit of a dolman. Hope to try on a sample at the next show, before I commit to this incredible Alicia Plum cabled dolman. Also, huge love to you for fabulous stitching and service. Our birthday girl LOVED the butt-erfly wedge pouch and it was a hit at the witchy sister weekend of wonder.
I have to say, I got so excited when you mentioned Keepsakes. I live in Dayton, and I only know of one cross stitch shop in this area. Keepsakes sounds fantastic!! Thank you thank you 😊
Thank you for another lovely afternoon (many pauses to look up patterns, etc.). I love those Quaker cross stitch patters and I'm inspired by your socks -- I have a non-gradient (OOAK) skein of Fancy Schmancy Pumpkins that's screaming to be cast on. Had a nice chat with Woolens and Nosh last week at VT Sheep and Wool, where I also always see the Zeilingers Mill folks. If only Zingerman's deli would also be there . . . ..
And I'm completely smitten with my Butt Bags! Several are stashed as holiday gifts, but you know how that goes!
best from Boston!
I am so grateful to you for giving me a great idea for the 1st ever fleece I ever bought and was then told by my spinning group that it was not fit for spinning!! When you mentioned fleece for compost, it reminded me that they use wool pellets to deter slugs and I do have a problem with slugs, so guess what I'm going to use that old fleece for. Your a great enabler, love you.
I LOVE valdani threads. Lovely colors, nice to work with. I did about a third of that autumn quaker. Loved the chart, hated working on it. So I got it to a finish point, and framed it. Looks awesome!
And I love stitching monochrome quakers. You just get to enjoy the process of stitching and watch it grow!
Your description of the embroidery store reminds me of my nearest Dollar General. Sometimes I walk in there, shop, self-checkout, and leave and the whole time I wont see any store employees. And I'm left thinking, "Is this store on the honor system?" lol. As an introvert, I'm totally fine with it.
Love all your videos whatever their length ❤
I love your forays in sewing. As far as sewing pants I have found @liftingpinsandneedles tutorial series on how to fit and and alter pants (its a 6 part series but you can choose the one that applies to your fit issue if its all you need) to be SUPER helpful in how to get the correct waist band size the right fit through the seat belly and the crotch curve!
Plum de lucks is so good I love them the fruity flavors are super
My cousin up in Maine sells calendars of her sheep for hay money! Your idea is similar. Farmers/vendors should put out a hay money box ! 😂
I love everything about your vest - the pattern is so cute and the color is perfect for you! I love your videos because it always feels like we’re sitting and chatting - of course I talk to you like you can hear me lol.
I would like you to know that Steven broke out into a rendition of Electric Disco Clam in your honor 😂 Hot coral and rustic oatmeal belong together in colorwork- if’s science or something
Love that you made it to Keepsakes. It is a real destination for x-stitchers. They originally did custom framing, therefore all those great framed pieces. BTW the older charts like yours and older Blackbird charts really do sell for crazy prices. Happy fall, Kat.
I love Vera Stanhope. I had to buy me a Vera hat to wear.
I’m the same with the sweetener, I need to decide the portion and type of sweetener. It’s honey or it’s nothing…well when it comes to beverages at least 😊
❤❤❤
News reader styling it 😂
Love your rooster❤ awesome.
I love working with silks. Missus sedas are great.
See you soon
❤🤗
Fleece stress is real! Thanks for the validation 😉
Everything looks great! I love the shirt you made and all your colors. I haven’t made them yet, but I’m intrigued by the cashmerette meriam trousers. The elastic is hidden in the sides where the waistband is split.
I absolutely love the outfit you made it’s wonderful and it looks so pretty on you ……great job ❤
I love the talk about the "B" belly.😀I never thought of it that way, but mine so totally is. I have a very hard time with non-stretch waist bands.
I’m loving all your cross stitch! I totally enjoy stitching with silks, which isn’t very often due to the expense, but for single color projects like holiday ornaments? Teh bomb. 😊
Love your podcast. Miss my stitching but damn, I can’t see anymore. ❤
Another super podcast. Half the things u do r foreign to me but love them. Quaker bird is fab. I could never do one color. But does make design pop. Quilt to die for! Great brain food here.
Amy Beth!!! That sweater is gorgeous ❤ Can’t wait to see it finished 🎉 I had to look it up….did she say “clam”…😂😂😂 Yep! It’s Electric Disco Clam 😂😂😂
My understanding of the reason behind all the stitches crossing the same way is because of how the light reflects off the thread. As a spinner, I suspect you understand about s and z twists, and that’s the reason for the uniformity. 29:29
How the heck have I missed a sweet potato tea 😮 I think I’ve tried everything David’s …I’m drinking apple cider atm/ fall fav 🍂 Vera- I have rewatched too many times- I want to move into the Croft next door and bomb around in her ancient defender. Your stitching is beautiful, I’ve been carrying around multiple Mirabilia mermaids (for many many years) you inspire me to try
I just want you to know that Plum Deluxe made a special blend for the Rose City Yarn Crawl (Portland, OR) a few years ago, so ❤. Also if you like banana bread you must try their banana bread herbal tea. I was highly skeptical but it's absolute perfection.
AmyBeth, you spin, therefore you could spin all the silk embroidery floss you would want, then dye it any color you want! I am stitching with handspun Eri silk right now and it is some of the most luscious fiber I have ever stitched with. Just a thought.
Oh! I hadn’t even thought to do that!! It would be especially fun for a single color project!
Oh I do wish I could see well enough to stitch on linen. Even with an 18 count Aida, I can only do about 10 minutes at a time. The valdani threads can be purchased individually. I buy from several places for my embroidery and wool appliqué. And oh my goodness! Your finishes are fabulous
I have to have a VERY bright light!
I love the Buttery Shortbread tea from Plum Deluxe. So good, but I drink too much tea to buy from them regularly, just too pricey. I associate Constant Comment by Bigelo with fall, so that's easy to come by! I mainly get tea from a local shop, Sheffield Spice and Tea Co (they do ship!), and I'm always excited about their spiced teas.
Fab shirt
Was also at the Woolgathering... sorry I missed you this year! I think I was zoned in on all the fiber and yarn and didn't really pay attention to who all was around.😂
Next time!
Another wonderful video! I'm a long time knitter, who caught the cross stitch bug in 2020 during the pandemic. It's so fun to see that you have also started cross stitching. I have a couple of designers to recommend: Kathy Barrick (just finished her Crow No. 5 piece) and Modern Folk Embroidery (some beautiful Quaker and other geometric designs). Thank you for all the inspiration and laughs! -Carolyn
Did the wool batting look like it was needled? If so, I would say that it's for quilting use. When we lived in New Zealand you could buy wool batting to put on top of your mattress to stay warm in the winter.
If it was a fine wool and a very fluffy batting, it could be used for wet felting?
Ooooh, that is interesting! Next time I will know to look for the needling.
Why is it frowned upon to use quilters cotton for garments?
It’s a drape thing. Which I understand. It certainly doesn’t work for everything (like a very gathererd skirt will likely stick out from the body more than was intended), but it is a very functional fabric for many others.
I keep thinking of her name but one of the girls who works at Keepsakes has a Floss Tube channel. She does it with her Mom who's name is Pam. Stephanie? Is her name?? Really good but I had to stop watching because I have too many irons in the fire.... or WIPS in my basket!
Have you ever tried your hand at silk ribbon embroidery? So enjoyable and satisfying. I tooked a class years ago with Beverly Sheldrick from New Zealand.
I think I did a little piece when I was in high school, so it’s been a minute, but I remember it being very enjoyable!
