I've been reading more as well this year in order to move away from knit and crochet a bit. I found that knitting and crocheting all the time was giving me a "more more more" mindset. I would finish a project and immediately do another one and then another and then another and never really feeling content with actually finishing. I've been reading to slow down my knitting & crochet and to make less. It's felt so good. And I have my whole life to make things, so I feel good about having longer periods of time without working on anything. It's also making me more mindful about what I make and creating a smaller but more intentional wardrobe. I would recommend reading!
This is such a lovely comment, thank you for sharing your perspective! It’s crazy isn’t it how such a wholesome hobby like knitting & crocheting can turn into something so stressful. I think it’s nice to have mulitple hobbies, especially as a creative person!
i love your content so so much 🫶🏻✨ also have you thought about maybe making a video discussing all your fav yarn ? (iknow you also thrift a lot of yarn but still i would love to see it)
Can’t wait for the video abt the hood! Love the square and colours you chose- you inspired me to make it in bag form so I can carry small knit projects inside.
I second the comment about trying your library for audiobooks! In the states we have the Libby app and it's great. You save so much money. And it makes me very giddy when a book I've been waiting for finally comes into my queue and I can listen to it
Please be careful sharing your view ❤ I've unfortunately heard horror stories about people being tracked down just by a view outside their window. Just something to think about. Thanks for the great vlog~
Congrats on your back tattoo. Glad you had better experience this time. Ask your tattoo artist about what numbing cream you can use the next session if you want to be more comfortable. I did a big back piece without numbing cream. I have had two kids (with an epidural) and I'd rather have another kid instead of a 4 hour back tattoo without numbing cream 🤣
@@averpaula the tattoo outlining is the most difficult part. Shading sessions are little easier! You're a brave one for getting they that first back tattoo session! Congrats!
Hi aver, I just recently got I knitting machine, but im so lost in learning how to use it😢. Do you have any recommendations of tutorials? Or how did you learn to use your machine?
I learned by watching TH-cam videos and looking up specific issues I was having to solve them and learn! Honestly the best advice I can give it to just give it a go and overcome the initial fear of getting it wrong. My projects during the first 6 months of using my machine were mainly fails and super simple projects, and eventually I got braver and more experienced to try new things.
Remember audiobooks *are* reading! There's no such thing as actually reading verses reading audiobooks - because that would mean people with any kind of impairments to reading physical books didn't read 😅 it's about taking in the story/information, not about your eyes looking at scribbles ❤
Yess a longer video in witch we see more of the “behind the scenes”
Im here for it
I’m glad you liked it! I was worried this format might not be as entertaining

More vlogs! You have such a serene way of editing and adding the perfect music. This was so much fun.
Thank you so much
I really enjoyed this vlog and seeing more of your home! that crochet hood/scarf is SO cool, i’m def going to make one similar
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I’ll be sharing more about the hood in next weeks video
i love your content so so much 🫶🏻✨
also have you thought about maybe making a video discussing all your fav yarn ? (iknow you also thrift a lot of yarn but still i would love to see it)
This might be a fun idea! I’ll have a little think about how I could structure this and maybe even integrate a little yarn stash haul
That top you wore for the tattoo is so cute I love it!!
This video just popped on my yt feed and caught my interest. I'm really enjoying it, you are so calming! :)
can't stop watching! I adore you 🥰
Your plans for the flat sound so exciting!! Love to see more interior content :)
Thank you, I’m hoping to share some more bits, it’s been taking over my life

This would look so cute as a bag!

I downloaded Libby ages ago but never really used it, it’s definitely time I check it out!
@@averpaula yay I'm excited for you!! ♥️♥️
Love love love each video, immaculate vibes, you are such an inspiration ❤️
Thank you so much 💖

Just cropped this out! I wasn’t really that bothered about it until your comment 😅
@@averpaula don't worry about it too much! But it's never bad to take precautions

No stop because the whole time I told myself ‘this is so painful but surely childbirth is worse’ to keep me going 😂

i would LOVE a tutorial of the bonnet scarf :)
The video is hopefully coming next week 💖
Lovely vlog!! I absolutely love your yellow bag!! Where is it from?
I got it 2ndhand but i think it’s from debenhams originally
@@averpaulaThanks!
I love your videos 🧸 I wonder where you got your leopard coat? Thanks 🤍
Thank you! I found it on vinted but I think it was originally from Sainsburys 😅
Can you do a tutorial or share a pattern of the granny square mohair cardigan?? Really cool and cozy video btw✨💟
I’m filming a video on the cardigan as we speak 😊

try your local library for audiobooks if you don't want to pay for audible
This is such a good idea! Thank you for reminding me libraries exist 😅
TH-cam has a lot of good audiobooks
