Someone may have already said this....not sure! As for the print out for needle inventory, I decided to print it out and use it as a wish list! And gave it to friends and family! So they all know what I don't have and need!
Once again the content of the episode was great. I loved seeing how good some of the downloaded labels could look with just a little color or cardstock. I look forward to notching up the look of my gift giving. I was delighted and so surprised to be greeted personally - Kristine is as wonderful in person as on camera so here is a public thank you to her for taking the time to meet with me when I was in Illinois.
Hundreds and hundreds of thousands free patterns for everything under the sun. I agree with all about what a great series this is. It is great especially if you are on a limited budget like me. Thanks, Dr. Kelly.
💗 Dr. Kelly. Thank you. Even though I learned to knit as a child from my grandmother (I'M 62) I feel like a newbie with all that you can find on the internet. My knitting" knowledge is growing so much.
Hello Dr. Kelly, Thank You for the free freebies ideas. I especially liked the snowman gift box. Too cute! But I wanted to add an extra "thank you" for reminding people not to click on the "Download Here" unless it is the item you want to download. Very thoughtful of you to add this in your podcast. THANKS!
Wow, Dr Kelly, I found your channel too late for Christmas, but I will use these ideas for this year. I have really learned a lot from your channel and your videos. Thank you for all the time and attention you have put into these videos. I for one greatly appreciate it.
Amazing - thank you so much! I prefer the printed pages for knitting journals. The thought of trying to go thru all my needles. hooks and yarn is frightening!! My favorite were the mouse ornaments. I have been doing the mini sweaters and mitten banners for a while but those mice were adorable!.
Dr. K you have outdone yourself this series. I always enjoy your show but this series is my favorite thus far. Thanks for all your hard work. I appreciate you.
Thank you for all the work you put into your videos! I especially loved all the printables! I'm having lunch and watching this video. I look forward to your videos!
Love the show. Idea, grow your own lavender to make sachets for keeping bugs from yarn and knitted items. My plants survive the winter and keep producing and will provide gifts in the future as they get bigger.
Hi Dawn! Great idea. I love lavender. But it's really not that effective at keeping bugs at bay -- I did a show about it earlier this year. That doesn't mean we can't use it to keep our things smelling good. I certainly do! :)
Another fabulous podcast! I definitely appreciate all the research involved in providing and passing along, aaaalll these goodies to your followers. Thank you😊.
So enjoyable and usefull video am cutting some tags now an they make such a difference, my gifts look preofessional with them.I can not wait for your video next week.Thank you, ypu are great.
What an awesome episode! I'm definitely going to use several of the options! You always do amazing work! I especially love the project journal ones. I'm a bit of the old school and prefer a printed copy. I might even use the stash pages which will be so helpful. If I categorized them by weight it will be so easy and faster to find yarn for my next project. Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️
You could also put knitting/crochet journal pages in clear plastic page protectors from the office supply store (kind of like what's also used in photo albums).
Thank you so much for finding, reviewing, and linking all of these patterns and labels! I have already printed out some labels to use for my knitted gifts this holiday season, and I can't want to make some of the ornaments!
Great episode of freebies. I had to chuckle because I just found the gift tags/care instructions and handmade with love tags this past weekend and used them for a baby shower gift! I like the idea of the project pages because I have a knitting journal much like the notebook you shared and although useful it is a bit sloppy 😒. So I think I’m going to have to upgrade to a nice binder 😁
Hi Rhonda! Oh that's great. I think I'm going to do that, too. Although I have a lot of projects recorded on Ravelry, I have not updated my projects page in so long. Maybe I will keep up with it better if I can write things down. :)
Hello again!! I enjoyed seeing all of your wonderful ideas for wrapping and keeping track of hand made items. I wish I had started a book of all the things I have made in my life. There weren't computers then so I would have to do it all by hand which is still the way I seem to do it lol! Recently I put together a package to a couple who were getting married and what I did was knit five dishcloths and found an adorable scrubber to give them. I can draw so I made my own tags and drew my own message on them and gave them one of my hand drawn cards, which they always love. I have spent a lifetime making things for friends and family. I wish I had kept a journal. I plan on looking at all of your links and see if I can use some for this Christmas. Thank you so much for all the great ideas you found. Your episodes are always enjoyable and fun to watch! Sharon :)
Aww, thanks, Sharon! Your wedding gift sounds amazing, with everything handmade. I agree, we should all keep a diary of our handmade things. I'm going to try to be better about it. :)
Good morning Dr. Kelly, I just watched your holiday freebies video for the 3rd or 4th time, so many great holiday freebies. I especially love the gift tags and labels. Thank you and Merry Christmas!! Terry a.k.a. tlchondagirl.
I've actually seen the gift tags before and plan on using them for my hand knit gifts I'm doing this yr. I think they add a professional touch to things much like taking the time to properly block. I've also been looking at possibly knitting a few advent calendars (one is mittens another is random Christmas ornaments) as gifts to give for next yr, as I don't have time to complete them this yr.
I'm really interested in those handspun yarn labels. I don't usually give my handspun as a gift directly (usually it's knit into the gift before I give it) but I'm far enough along into my spinning journey that I'm starting to forget what I did. I have few skeins of yarn in my stash that are either left overs of projects or I spun up on a whim without a project in mind and I can't remember the fiber content. I have roving in my stash too that I bought so long ago I don't remember what I bought and it wasn't labeled with all the information. I should really go through and organize/label things while my stash is still small enough to handle. I'm also in love with those little animals you showed. Now I want to decorate my tree with little knitted animal ornaments. Last year I started knitting ornaments for my tree and it's something I want to keep doing every year so I can eventually have a nice big collection. Speaking of animals I spied the sock monkey sitting on your self a few episodes ago. Did you knit that from a pattern and if so would you mind sharing it? I would love to make one.
Hi Fern -- it sounds like those handspun labels are perfect for you. If you do the tree decorations with the teeny animals, you have to share a picture of it! The little monkey is a cutie, isn't he, and he's always in the background of my videos. My friend Gail made him from this pattern: www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/monkey-jacobus.
Very interesting video as always. While I watched this video, I got an idea for a small knitting and crochet Christmas tree. I am going to start looking for 3D printables of crochet or knitting ornaments. Also I could knit a few items too!. Maybe download, knit or crochet the tree itself! So many ideas in my head right now! Looking forward to your next video!
Hi Sonia! Yes, I'm sure you'll be able to find patterns for knitting or crocheting a Christmas tree. I have one that someone made for me years ago, so I don't know what pattern it is. They are so cute, though. I'm glad you are inspired! Thanks so much for sharing your comment. XO
Hi Susan -- all of the links to everything I talked about are in the description box below the video. You may have to click on "Show More" to expand the box. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas! XO
This inspired me to look for Christmas-specific knitted gift tags, and I found a bunch of gift tags here: blog.worldlabel.com/2013/printable-christmas-labels-for-homemade-baking.html One of the tags says "This is handmade so you better like it. With love, _____". That's what I'm going to use for my knitted gifts this year!
Thanks Dr. Kelly for another great podcast. As usual, you are interesting and informative without being silly or using nonsense to grab attention. That may sound like faint praise, but believe me, I get so sick of podcasts whose content is 10% (or less!) information and 90% white noise. Honestly, there are some podcasters that I really WANT to like, because they are so popular, and supposedly knowledgeable, but if after watching a whole podcast, I cannot remember any of it ... well if I want empty entertainment, I can always watch TV. I love genuine laughter, but silly, fake giggling that some resort to (maybe they are just nervous?), frankly it gets on my nerves. It's not easy maintaining an intelligent, interesting balance, but "ewe" do! So that's why you are my favorite podcaster (don't tell the others, they'll be jealous I'm sure). And yes, I didn't see this one in time for Christmas 2018, but it has given me a lot of ideas for next year, plus those tiny animals are not only adorable, but could be used for gifts all year! And one person on her IG stories was gushing about her Knitting Planner that cost $25, but as far as I could see was pages and pages of boxes, so your suggestions for printables is right on target. Plus if you print them and put them in a three ringer binder, you could have a section for different crafts if desired. Maybe you could do a show on crafting planners, and compare and contrast them! So thank you and here's to a Happy 2019!!! (PS I didn't notice until after I wrote this, that you had broadcast this in 2017! I can't figure out how TH-cam decides what to recommend and why.... it would have been nice for them to recommend this one BEFORE Christmas... Maybe you could do a podcast on social media and how they decide what you get to see or NOT see. I'm sure a lot of people are curious about that.)
I have a fiber arts page that I primarily use to give out tips and products/sales I've found as well as show off pretty yarn. May I share a link to this on the Facebook page? I think a lot of people would love to see this

Hello -- I'm so glad to hear from you. Thanks for watching! XO
The little snowman box is perfect for some hats I've made for Christmas. Thanks so much for the great collection of freebies.
Hi Liz -- yes, I'm actually giving a hat today as a holiday gift to someone, and I have it in that cute little box. They are going to love it! XO
Dr. Kelly, I truly appreciate all your hard work, sage advice and thoughtful explanations your videos entail. You are a true gem!
Aww, thanks Elizabeth. XO
I really liked the tiny toys and the neat labels to wrap around your knitted gifts. Thanks Kris!
Hello my sweet friend! It's always so nice hearing from you. Hope you're having a wonderful week. XO

Hi -- thank you for watching and for passing along the information to your friends. :)
Thank you for all the work you put into your videos! I especially loved all the printables! I'm having lunch and watching this video. I look forward to your videos!
