I love a rambly podcast 🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶
Well, how clever is Jasper!!❤. From someone who finds cross stitch very difficult, I admire his talent at such a young age. I sew, knit & crochet but find cross stitch & the charts, not for me. I have tried a few times, & am convinced that I must be the only one in the world that can’t master this craft, but always end up with it wrong in the end 😱. I have the same trouble with directions when driving, I can go to a place six times, & still not remember how to get there without the GPS! Lovely podcast as usual Helen. All the yarn that you showed were gorgeous colours!❤. Your items & blankets I loved, always good to see you, cheers 🥰👏❤️💕😍🤗
Thank you 💓
Sometimes crafts just aren't for us. I'm trying to accept that with spinning, I've tried it but it really doesn't hold the same appeal.
🧶🧶 Thank you for this chatty episode, look forward to seeing you again
Hi Helen 👋, I really enjoyed watching your podcast. Your cross stitch is looking fantastic and so is Jasper's. I love dinosaurs too. I also love starting a new blanket even though I've got 10 on the go. Enjoy your day 😊 x
Seeing a Giddy Yarns video in my subscriptions feed always brings a smile to my face. 🧶
Yay, thank you!
Happy February Helen, love sharing my day with you. just finished my 2nd scappie blanket💕
The gnome kit inspired by chocolate dipped strawberries is so lovely - it would also make lovely stripey socks. Gorgeous yarn as always 🧶💕
Ooh it would do lovely scrapy socks, or little mitts!
Thank you, Helen! ♥️🧶
Lovely podcast, lovely projects and lovey yarn. Thank you Helen 🧶🧶🧶
Thank you! 😊
🧶🧶well done on your hat it’s fab I’ve just started my first flax sweater. Jasper does well with his cross stitch xx
Always happy to give you a thumbs up and a 😀
Oh my goodness, those minis from Hannah as delicious. Proper fomo here! I'd be tempted to do a hat, mitten, cowl combo with them all to make a set. Not that I think I would want to wait until I had them all before I start.
Love your version of the sweetshop blanket - having colour across the board sounds like a fab way to keep your interest. I did a baby blanket with colour/natural squares and after a few rows it became quite a chore.
Keep up the amazing work. 🧶
They're so pretty aren't they. I think I'll wait until next month and see whether the colours work together before I make project decisions 💓
Enjoy your podcast Helen
Lovely episode!!!! Super excited to see the gnomes at EAYF😊🧶
Thank you 💓 there will be an army of gnomes at EAYF 😆
I love Jaspers cross stitch so much. Looking forward to your Gnome updates. So excited as I have exactly one week until I can cast on a cardigan using your Eeyore colourway as my birthday project for this year 🧶
Ooh new projects are always exciting!
🧶 thank you so much Helen, another lovely podcast
Thank you! 😊
🧶 thank you, Helen!
Thanks Helen, always enjoy seeing what’s in your basket. I’m loving knitting gnomes this year…🧶
They're quite addictive aren't they!
I really enjoy knitting along to your videos and am in love with the colours of your hexi cardi! 🧶
Thank you so much!
It's always a happy time to see a new Giddy Knits video here on YT! I was knitting along, working with your Miss Honey colourway - so pretty. I'm hoping to complete a summer top with it (but I'm not following a pattern, so who knows how successful I'll be 😆)
I'm always in awe of people that can just sleep draft patterns as they're knitting! Good luck!
Always love your yarny chats. 🦙🐑
Thank you 💜
Love watching your podcast! Hugs from Portugal!! ❤️❤️❤️
Yay! Thank you!
A lovely podcast Helen. Well done Jasper, your cross stitch is looking great 🙂 🧶
Thank you! 😊
Great job on the hat! The valentine gnome kit is so pretty. 🧶
Thank you! 😊
Always love your podcasts Helen!
Thank you 💜
Thank you xx
The Spice colour is gorgeous!! I think it would make a lovely tshirt. I’d definitely be interested in a mini pre order. I was lucky enough to get the Pooh minis but I’d love some of the other mini sets too. 🧶
Thank you, I'm so pleased with it! As for the mini preorder, I will try and get one scheduled in April/May time.
Helen, thank you for keeping me company today while I had my morning coffee. You do know blankets don't count as WIPS. I enjoyed seeing your Gnome, I would join in the Gnome KAL, but I am packing for a move and dealing with my hubby's health issues.🧶🧶🧶🧶
Very true blankets never count as WIPs which is a good job! Hope everything goes well with the move 💓
Oh boy that blanket is going to pretty!
I'm so excited by it!!
Thank you for a nice episode🧶
Thank you 💜
Thanks Helen, love your channel 🧶
Thank you! 😊
The Sweet Shop Blanket is the perfect project for your Sweet Shop Minis. 🧶
I'm so excited for it!
Love you channel ❤️
Thanks for the visit, Helen. :) 🧶
You’re welcome 😊
🧶🧶🧶 Love your podcast and your 🧶🧶🧶!
Thank you 💜
Love your projects and yarn 🧶
Thank you 💜
Thank you for sharing all your project and plans. Love the gnomes. Jan🐑 🧶
🧶🧶🧶💕great episode,thank you
Thank you 💜
Lovely episode 🧶🧶🧶
Thank you 💜
Lovely video Helen. I am knitting a Habitation Throw with my Hogfather Advent. The colours are all gorgeous. I am working on the 10th shade so the rows are getting really long. 🧶
You're coming along great!!!
😊 a great channel and the best yarn too 👍
Lovely episode Helen . Jasper is doing an amazing job on the cross stitch and what a nice kit it is . See yo u at EAYS. Cant find the yarn ball emoji on my tablet but i do know there is one on my phone ........
He's really enjoying it! See you at EAYF!!!
Great podcast! 🧶
Thank you! 😊
Loved the episode! 🧶
Thank you 💜
Enjoyed your 🧶 E goodness!
Thank you ❤️
Love the gnome kits 🧶 im hoping my kiddo will be more into the Jr. cross stitch kit i got him last year, we've only picked it up twice 🤦🏻♀️
He'll get there I'm sure. Jasper loves everything crafty but I will say the cross stitch is a nice change from constant junk modelling
Couldn't find a yarn ball so here's a 🐑❤
I think a mini pre-order later in the year would be great. I missed out on the Winnie the Pooh minis and would love a chance to get some at another time 🧶🧶🧶
I will have a look at my schedule and see where I can fit one 💜
🧶
Enjoyed your video as always.
I have started the “Advent Adventure” crochet blanket with the Sweet shop minis- really enjoying it so far. Just have to pick a contrast for joining the strips…… decisions, decisions!?
That's always a tough decision!
Well. Hi from Canada. Hope you get loads of comments.
Hello 👋 thank you for watching 💓
Hi Helen , I would love a pre order for minis when you have time 🧶🧶🧶🧶
I will get one scheduled in!
🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶Yay Yarn balls !
Lovely sweater🧶
Thank you! As always, I forgot to say what it was 🙈 it's a love note by Tin Can Knits.
I also have roughly ~8 blankets on the go. 😬😅
Woohoo! Blanket buddies!
Hmmmm... how many hours did you say till the shop update🤔 Soooo tempted by Spice and the gnome minis🧶🧶
...and I couldn't resist 😅
Thank you 💜
@@GiddyKnits 💜
🎀🎑🚦😹 I dont have the yarn emoji, so we have a bow, a bowl of undyed hard and mini skein pack of 3 colours! 😬 close enough.
Great choice of emojis 😆
With your cross stitch, when there's a solid area, I tend to say to myself that I have to do one strand for every other section I do, or I'll get bored of it too 😅
Why does your gnome have pockets on the beard? I meant to ask last time but think I forgot. It weirds me out x
That's very disciplined of you! I'm trying to say that everytime I finish a a little sections I need to add more blue.
As for beard pockets, I have no idea, I guess you can just thank Sarah's imagination 😆 but I imagine beard pocked are quite cosy for your hands.
@GiddyKnits I have some rules in my crafts or I can get distracted lol
With socks, I can only kitchener the toe if I have time to cast on the ribbing of sock 2, stops second sock syndrome lol 😅
🧶🧶🧶!!
👡♥♥♥
🧶 Always a delight to watch/listen to an episode with you. I’ve been in a real gnome kick lately and have decided that I need to put it away until I knit a March gnome for the GKAL, I just can’t seem to get my mojo going for any project that’s larger than socks or gnomes. Help! Thanks for taking the time to make these episodes for our enjoyment - I love the podcasts as well as the GY yarns! Until next time. Salam wa sa’aadah
I know the feeling, I'm definitely reaching more for those quick gratification projects at the moment!
🐑🐑🐑🐑, no yarn ball so sheep instead, lol

Lovely podcast. I’ve just bought the habitation throw to make with your Hogfather Advent. 🧶🧶🧶
🧶🐈⬛ have to have the cat with the yarn ball. My cat loves to try to steal yarn, especially when it is balled up and not caked up. … of course her brother likes to steal the yarn when it is in skein form for some reason.
I will be anxiously awaiting the Winnie the Pooh minis preorder. 🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶
Yarn 🧶 is my favorite subject and I enjoy your videos immensely 😉
Thank you 💜
🧶I am also working on the Gomes
They're so much fun.
