Edit: Up until the 30th April 2023 all revenue from this video was donated to Bill’s previous special needs school. Now they are better funded they don’t require the help they once relied upon
My son, Bill, goes to gorgeous, tiny, little special needs school for gorgeous special children. Bill and his friends there all need just a little more care, attention, love and guidance to help them access friendships and education. Bill has autism (and a variety of other issues such as Sensory Processing Disorder, ADD, Dyspraxia, Global Developmental Delay and Klinefelters Syndrom) and most of his school mates have similar challenges as well as Dyslexia across the board. Bill's school is woefully underfunded for a variety of reasons that would take pages of text to explain. The teachers aren't well paid yet they are constantly buying supplies the children need that most pupils don't require; such as pen grips and fiddle toys to aid concentration etc...I have been fundraising for a few years now and with your help have managed to help subsidise school trips, buy sensory room equipment, Occupational Therapy equipment, outdoor tables and chairs, a trampoline... We have a lot to pay for soon as we really need a reliable minibus but additional to that the school is trying to move premises and is taking on 20 extra pupils. This is all amazing news but means the pressure is on financially. All this fundraising helps a phenomenal school that has given so many children a future they would not have been able to access. Thank you so much for any kind of support you give us.
❤️❤️❤️
Loved seeing UR bits and bobs!!!!
So fun,,,

lovely chat this morning! 💖
Thank you Gayna for sharing the contents of your basket! Always terrific to see what another crafty person has put away. 💜💜
Good thinking, the dog love the bed up there lol
Oh Gayna , you are just amazing what you you,what you know your wonderful ability to just help everyone without even knowing you are doing it that busy pillow you were showing that helps Bill is just brilliant does your friend sell and ship to Australia 🇦🇺 I am a special needs Teacher Aide and would really love to my hands on some of those see through pillows 😜💕
The longer your vlogs the better, really enjoy your chats and I really liked the cowl might have to make that.x
It was just like we were sitting chatting 😊 so glad the I spy bag is / was helping, thank you for all your very kind words xxx
They aren’t kind words! They are facts. So there.
Loved your vlog-pod! The cowl is lovely and I may attempt it. I am a loose knitter (funny since I tend to be a tense person!). I keep my pretty progress keepers and stitch markers in a bowl on my desk -and use plastic ones in my work that I don’t mind if they get lost! And yes, I buy them, project bags, etc. and they are my “treats” in life😅 even tho some are too precious to use😂
Goodness you make me want to learn to knit desperately! Heaven knows I don’t need another crafty hobby but oh how I want to make socks!
Love looking through your basket with you xx
Ooh, you are so blooming lovely Ganya. Wishing you all the happiest of days 💕💕💕
Thanks for sharing the bits and bobs in your basket. I must confess, I did watch Bunny sleeping for a bit. 💛
I don’t blame you, special little dog 🥰
Thanks for Jo's info...I have a great niece who is on the spectrum and I just purchased 2 items for her Christmas presents 🤗
Jo is wonderful and she even gets her products safety tested.
You could attach the pins to the pull cords or outer tags on your project bags. That way they’re on the outside and won’t matter if you’re going in & out of the bag. They won’t catch on anything. Just a thought! ♥️♥️♥️
PS you did a great job! I thoroughly enjoyed the hang! 🤗♥️
😘
I am rubbish with the pins too and don't like putting them on my bags - I just work too hard at making the bags, or saving to buy one, to puncture it with holes... so instead of making a pin pennant, I made a bell pull looking thing. It's only about three inches wide and hangs down about four feet - literally the width of a piece of fabric by three inches across. It is backed and has a lightweight betting in it to support the weight of heavier pins. I put a point on the end and attached a pretty handmade tassel. The other end has a ring that hangs on a hook by the shelving on which I store wips and other crafty goodies. The ring lets me take it down easily to add another acquisition and I can enjoy all my pins without messing up a bag or the project the bag might contain...
Love you Cuckoo GBY all thanks for keeping me company ,loved this vlog it inspires me to organize my toys also hugs and kisses to all 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘🐰,forgot, love your hair it's so long and beautiful
I like having my hair long but it’s a bit stringy as it’s very thin. It’s nice to be able to tie it up and some days it falls nicely. X
Felt like I was sat having a rummage with you Cheers Cuckoo
By the way thanks for the tip on second stitch pulling on cable sock cast on works well in comparison with other cast on failures 8 times now
Everyone says socks are fun oh I wish 😏
Sometimes, if I’m struggling with knitting in the round from the start I will cast on two extra stitches and knit in rib flat before joining in the round. I then decrease 2 stitches and continue in the round. I close the funny gap when I’m done by seeing it up. It will be fun! Promise. I’d love to help you get to that point. So ask me anything anytime, ask on Instagram message. X

Than you
Gayna I might do that on second sock thought of 8 more cast on’s is enough to put me off
All you vlog/pod lasses make great socks 🧦 & I want to at least try & that will probably help having wide enough top for his swollen ankles
Enjoy your time off & a A HUGE BIG THANKS from me for keeping me company during these long months of COVID 🥰
I use a super stretchy cast on these days. If you’re on IG I can show you otherwise I’ll send you a TH-cam link.

Loved seeing all of the bits in your basket.
What is it about rummaging about in someone else’s baskets, bags and boxes? So much more interesting than our own 😉 Bunny asleep behind you was so cute too (although she was keeping an eye on you!) take care xx
I’ll send you more maple tea my sweet, cannot have you running out. Especially as the colder months approach closer 🤍
I wasn’t hinting but o wouldn’t say no!
I have my pin badges on a crochet basket I made which is on a shelf in my craft area , they look nice. I love Ollie &Bella blogs
Love your vlogs! It feels like being part of your family! Just curious what cast on you were doing at the start of this vlog!
Ganya, in regards to pins and progress keepers may I suggest using the plastic canvas mesh squares. They are usually 10"x12" and some crafters embroider shapes with yarn...
I even hang earrings on them. You can hang them from cord on wall with bull clips or put in a picture frame...
Hello from Nova Scotia,Canada 👋
That’s a good idea as a solution to store then all.
Its always an absolute pleasure listening to you, love your vlogs 👌👌👌👌 x
💕
I need to sort my craft stash! I've started but seem to end up going round and round 😂 xx
Morning loverlie, ooohhhh need some Maple tea
They make “locking” pin backs. I think they sell them on amazon. They don’t pop off in your bag! They are hard to remove... I too have lost many a pin. 🤣😫
That’s good to know, I just bought a new pin at a yarn festival and nearly lost it the first time I wore it.
Cuckoo, I have to go up an entire needle size when knitting in the round. Compared to a flat stockinette swatch. This is because I purl much tighter than my knit stitch. So if I swatch flat (hate swatching in the round) I know I have to go up a size. I have found this to be consistent with a small needle size as well as a bulky. 🤪
That’s enlightening! Maybe that’s my issue too. X
