A cosy and quiet Sunday was much deserved after this busy week. Thank you for your vlogmas, Malene. Your daily episode is such a treat for me.

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Thank you so much Anne! That makes me so happy to hear❤️

[@LindaSimpson]

You so deserved a nice quiet cosy Sunday. I love doing nothing but knit and crochet on Sunday it makes me happy. Beautiful yarn for the new socks. I am sure mama will be happy. Have a wonderful week ❤❤

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Thank you Linda! Hope you have an amazing week as well🎵💖

[@mettehjernielsen6822]

Tak for dit store arbejde med at lave vlogmas. Nøj det er hyggeligt❤️

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Tusind tak Mette! Det er så sødt af dig at sige❤️

Hi Marlene, thanks for another lovely video, I know what you mean when you say you feel tired, I feel tired by all the awfulness in the world, the wars and conflicts in the world, it’s hard to find joy in these times, but the moments you give us with your vlogmas really help to distract the mind so thank you xx

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Thank you so much Debbie! Things in the world is very much not as they should be and it is so sad😞
I pray for more kindness and understanding. Just like in our amazing knitting community❤️

[@conniewatson1659]

I just came to your podcast,. I have definitely enjoyed it,... And went ahead and subscribe to it... Happy Knitting 🧶💜💕

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Thank you so very much! Happy knitting🎵💖

[@conniewatson1659]

@@ThePlayfulKnitter yes ma'am...

[@JustFluffyQuiltingYarnCrafts]

I'm really looking forward to seeing those tiny socks completed - Very nice colour choices. I am also of the belief that if one's hair is always done with makeup in place, it does not qualify as a vlog. It can just be a regular "day in the life" video. 😉To me, a vlog is more spontaneous with the camera being turned on with little to no preparation. TFS! ❤

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Love the definition of the difference between the two😃I’ll have to keep that in mind😊❤️

[@debradockendorf3155]

I so enjoy spending time with you each day. I don’t like long socks either. I’m knitting an advent sock as well. I decided that I’ll make shorty socks with the yarn that I don’t use. I gave 100g total and never use all of that in my socks. Just relax and have fun.

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Thank you Debra! I never use the full 100g either, and love to have the leftovers for all the scrappy projects🤩

[@ninamariannajensen5297]

Det er så dejligt at have en dag i weekenden, hvor der er tid til bare at være 😊 Og jeg er enig med dig i, at hjemmestrikkede strømper er den bedste gave, både at give og at modtage ❤

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Helt enig😊💖

[@tovemelsen3032]

Tak for et dejligt afsnit Marlene 😊 uh så meget lækkert garn 😍🧶

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Og alt for lidt tid til at strikke det;-) Jeg ønsker mig strikketid i julegave;-)

[@weijourn1970]

It will be nice to see how those little socks knit up. They probably will outgrow them by spring so doesn't what you are comfortable knitting also count? I haven't watched all of your videos so I don't know if you have mentioned where you got your windowed project bags from?

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Thank you! The projectbags are some I make myself. Sometimes I sell extras on Instagram on @theplayfulknitter_salg. Thank you for watching:-)

[@weijourn1970]

Thank you. I'm not on instagram but I'll try to look sometime.

[@debrabrady1069]

What is the sweater you are wearing in this vlog? I love it!

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Thank you😊The one I’m wearing when I’m picking the yarn is the Helena Sweater by Katrine Hannibal and the blue one in the beginning is the Ranunculus by Midori Hirose. I’ll some links in the description box😊

[@nwilliams9845]

Do you do your socks magic loop including heel & toe?

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Yes, I magic loop the whole sock. I started out using DPN’s but for me magic loop gives me a better flow😊
