    I wish I’d seen the community post! Not particularly impressive, but for Christmas i knit myself and my family all ribbed beanies, and they all have a grey stripe in them from our dog’s sweater that i unraveled. She passed at nearly sixteen back in October, and i figured this way she gets to keep us all warm

    The validation mentioned at 6:00 is so true! This is why I prefer gifting my knitting pieces to my father- he's the only person who truly appreciates them. He sees it as an unbelievably difficult craft (though it isn’t for me), which deeply satisfies my inner child😅

    @caillemac หลายเดือนก่อน +7

    I relate so much to what Al said. I also always feel like a child when I show people, like I am being humored. I was so looking forward to this video. Thank you so much for doing this, it is amazing to see everything the community has created

    I've been learning 2 color brioche in the round and I made a couple irreparable mistakes and my coworker convinced me to unravel and now that I restarted it's sooooo much better! Worth it 100%

    • @BreathingYarn

      Brioche and I have a completed relationship for that reason. I’m so glad you finished and love it

      Unraveling hurts but it is worth the effort and pain. Just unravel a significant amour of my pressed flowers hat - hundreds of stitches. But I am so happy now.

    I love those videos! I can't believe someone knit a colorwork sweater for their first project! I decided to learn how to knit because I loved the look of colorwork. My first project was a pair of plain fingerless gloves knit flat. After that, I thought I could knit a circular yoke colorwork sweater. My mistake was thinking I could save up by using a free Drops pattern, and it confused me so much that I didn't separate body and sleeves and basically knit a colorwork tube with no arm openings... and I kept going because I thought there was going to be some magic technique later in the pattern to fix that. Anyway, I'm very impressed by everyone's beautiful projects!

    I think with the brand new knitters trying all the hard things - they don’t know it’s “hard” so they just go for it. I need to remember to embrace that more!

    It's me! I'ts Dianna!
    If you want just a single piece of pottery that's not part of a set and for sure not mass produced, hit up a local pottery studio! If they don't know a local market to point you to you can also ask if the members of the studio sell pieces. Potters are so obsessed with making new ideas they'll probably be excited to have a commission! The other option is get into pottery yourself and then lose yourself in getting messy and making pottery everything including a cat bowl and trivets and teapots and plates and more bowls than you know what to do with.
    Speckled glaze can be the glaze or more often the speckles are found in the clay! Speckle in clay gives it more sturdiness in wheel throwing but can be rough on hands depending on speckle size. But the final results are just so delicioussssss.

    • @BreathingYarn
      @BreathingYarn  หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Are you the one who made the cat toy at 14:31? I made one for my cat and she loved it! It made me so proud, since she usually doesn't like cat toys. Thank you so much❤❤

    • @dinannananna
      @dinannananna หลายเดือนก่อน

      @ yes that was me!!! They’re so relaxing to make and now my cat has so many haha but she loves them and I love watching her fling them around. They make such good gifts for friends too!

    To the person who made the cushion cover, intending it to be a blanket. I also was unable to breast feed our child, because I wasn't producing. He was losing weight rather than gaining weight, so we made the switch to formula and a bottle. And it was heartbreaking and left me angry with my own body for so long. (Not helped by being a trans man, but it felt like a totally separate battle with my body than gender dysphoria.) We do what we can for our little ones, to have them thrive and live as healthy of lives as possible.
    You are a great parent, full of love. I'm glad that you were able to make a physical memento of those experiences. I hope it brings you so much happiness in the years and years to come!

    These are amazing! I hope you do these regularly! Not only to inspire and encourage yourself and your viewers (your big heart, empathy and compassion shine through), but also for us who are less involved in social media, or don’t have many around us who can or would appreciate the creativity and effort and value we place on our FOs. For someone to do that here is so heartwarming, thank you.

    I love all of your videos! Keep going, as you are so inspirational! I’m no youngster. I’m 72 and started knitting only about 3 years or so ago. It is totally therapeutic as your mind concentrates on only what you are doing, not the stresses that we endure daily. I love to see young people like you doing such wonderful inspiring videos! I totally got back into needlework when my beloved older cocker spaniel boy became terminally ill. He was most comfortable laying beside me as I was crocheting. Thank you again for your beautiful videos!

    Oh my goodness! Everyone is so creative and talented in this community. It’s so inspiring what everyone can do. I don’t know anything about knitting so seeing ANY knit projects blow my mind. They look so detailed and cozy. One day I will learn. But as for right now I want to get some crochet experience under my belt.
    On a different note I have been binge watching your channel. It’s just so welcoming and inspiring. And it feels like going over to a friends house and just basking in their presence.

    I just found your channel a few days ago and binged several vodeos. So excited to see the 2md video in this series. I am a master knitter and a certified level 2 knitting instructor. Now please know theae are not important things to obtain. I am just obnoxious and an overachiever at times. I am also a historian who loves knitting history and crochet too. I am just so proud of all the beautiful htetalented creators sharing their pieces. I also loved hearing that you size down a needle for purl stitches. It is common that a person will be a looser knitter for one stitch or the other. I tell my stude ts constany to do this. I am happy to help anyone that needs help. I am happy to answer questions. I love this channel so much.

    AHHH! Omg it made my week having my Halloween costume of Edelgard included in this video 🥰🌟! To answer your question - I spray painted the yarn after crocheting it. Mostly because I had bought so much of the red yarn it seemed a waste not to use it all to the end. I knew I couldn’t dye it gold and have it sparkle so I thought, screw it I have gold spray paint🤣. Thank you so much for the kind words. I can’t stop smiling!!

    An idea for the Japanese tea cup. You could find three other people who want one, and buy a set and spilt it. A bonus would be every time you use it you can be reminded of the other people in the world that own a sibling of your cup. A small moment of connection with people

    I just wanted to let you know that I've been watching your videos for a little while. Along with @justvintagecrochet, I always wait for your videos with impatience. I like your voice and your aesthetic. I like seeing you in love with your cats, just because I love mine so much as well. Also, I like the way you express your thoughts in your videos: always mindful, respectful and smart.
    Disclaimer: I'm a French-Canadian who teaches High School French, so I M-U-S-T tell you this: please excuse my imperfect grammar. It itches if I don't say it. I swear.
