CROCHET W/ ME ft. apartment drama, HUGE yarn store in hongdae, cozy cafes | life in seoul korea vlog
happy to report that my neighbor hasn't made the strange noise again and we're going on 2 weeks! we love character development!!!
*oops and in the first screen i obvs mean January 2022 hahah
@Rez March It was from the center of our room right above the desk where there arent any pipes :/ unless she was repeatedly hammering a poster to the wall lol trust me, we've thought of EVERYTHING
I can understand you. I also had a noisy neightbour next to me at my previous place. He was a younger guy with guitar and with his 2 dogs. He didn't want to understand first I hear everything. I also say that you should talk to them.
My old rooftop apartment had no neighbor noises but I had to climb 5 floors and 1/2 mile walk to the station. Paying less to live on second floor across the street from station with loudish neighbors these days. It was a even tradeoff.
I just loved the" we are the downstairs !! " moment 😂, good job Cari 💪🏻
Wow she was probably wearing heels, I have a neighbor who I used to live under who would purposely stomp on her floor all the time so I know how you feel.
The way you felt about the swiftie and the Pureness of her happiness is how we feel about you living your life and doing all the things you love 💖
🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
I’m so glad you went to a yarn store!! I’m preparing to move to Korea at the end of this summer and I’ve been a knitter since age 9 (20 years!!) and one of the few things I’ve been been stressing about the move is WHERE WILL I BUY MY YARN!?!?!?
dongdaemun craft market is definitely the place for all your yarn because its cheaper BUT its also pretty overwhelming and there often arent prices listed so you have to ask and haggle for a deal. So this is a really peaceful way of shopping hahaha but there's a really vibrant knitting and crocheting community here! excited to see it growing!
We are in the process of also moving to Korea and I’ve crocheted for decades. Been building up a stash for specific projects from Hobby Lobby but great to see I can get it in Korea. Although we plan to live much further South, yarn shopping is as good a reason as any for a trip to Seoul.
omg I had a similar situation with an upstairs neighbor! for the life of me I couldn't figure out what was the sound but it felt like a HUGE washing machine that made our whole flat tremble and it was driving me crazy but thank God I didn't have to go and talk with her in person ('cause it would've been awkward) because we had a group chat in WhatsApp so I took her number and DMed her. Anyway turned out it was her exercise bike. The fact that you know what the sound is makes it SO much more bearable. But she used it like 2 times more after my text and then stopped and recently moved away. New neighbors though invite some kid every now and then and I think I prefer the bike haha
oh by the way, would it be possible to record the sound that your neighbor makes and then go the the security with proof? Would they be able to do smth then?
There's no "wrong" way to hold a crochet hook or knitting needle - there's literally as many different ways to hold it as there are people who crochet/knit! Do whatever works for you, and don't be afraid to switch it up if it helps you - keep in mind that a different grip may change your tension though, so be careful if changing mid-project.
Love the greens :) and glad your neighbour is being more quiet now!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who reacts that way when seeing a corgi! :)
I have decided just now that I’m gonna keep a count of how many corgis you record throughout 2022 vlogs 🐶 see you on December with the final number! ✨🤓
LOL i love it!
I love everything about this video, from the café to the dreamy dreamy yarn store that even has swatches?? To your successful non-confrontation with the neighbor to your crochet bag in my favorite checker pattern AND one of my favorite color combination. Congrats on your (first?) colorwork project! I've also been knitting for hours I totally understand the wrist pain, grip issues, and eye focus issues. It's so cool how crochet is just like.. one loop on the hook that becomes anything from a bookmark to a whole blanket!
Thank you! And yes! So wonderful 🥲🥲🥲
best notification to get is a Cari Cakes upload 🥰
🥰🥰🥰
I started crocheting again back in 2020 and then picked up knitting last summer and that yarn store looks like the dream, i can definitely relate to having to talk yourself out of buying everything lmao
so pretty :''''')
Your vlogs literally transmit so much warm even tho the weather there looks freezing 🤭😻🤎🤎🤎
hahahah thank you! this winter has actually been pretty tame so it hasnt been toooooo freezing yet!!
Love the bag. So cute. The stores there are so pretty inside. Yarn, coffee and a Corgi, living your best life!! 👍🤗💕
thank you!! and yes, coffee and corgis are really all i need hahahaha
I can't believe I'm watching this video while also crocheting AND having neighbour drama!
UGH sending you STRENGTH!
I really love how you tell a story💫 the music is so good as always, I feel like I grew up watching your vlogs, I remember that I'd just rewatch them over and over again for the scenery and the music while making my homework when I was a freshman in 2018 haha~ thank you××
That quote about how books find you… I truly believe in that!!!!!
I love when a book shakes you to your core. ❤️
Loved the Vlog!
absolutely! they always come at the right time :')
@@caricakes What is the book called? Ive been trying to find it but it only says the name of the introduction and couldn't find anything!! HELP CARI 🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭
@everyone if you're interested i kept digging and found the book! Its called Black Swans by Eve Babitz!! Cari never mentioned it in any of her wrap ups so idk if she dnfed it or what! But I'm super excited to read it soon lol
It’s so cool that you crochet! I love seeing all the different cafes that you visit.
This yarn shop with cafe - so cool, I would love to go there, I love crocheting. Also, I can't count how many times I was croacheting while watching your videos 🙂
You have inspired me to take up crochet.
I love how your project turned out! It looks perfect for spring.
Super nervous and scared for my year abroad to South Korea (from London) but thank you so much for sharing Korea through your eyes! It makes the move less scary and more hopeful
the bag is lovely!! also, commiserations 😣my first apartment was a "garden unit" a.k.a. in the basement, and the whole time I lived there, it was chaos-noise from the stairs, vacuums, pots, dogs, children, you name it, I swear I heard it lol. Subsequently, I now have a Gollum-like appreciation for ear plugs, white noise machines, and sound proofed walls...
LOL oh no im so sorry!! my basement apartment was actually amazing because we got ZERO noise somehow and the one time my new foster dog barked a lot, my neighbor left me the sweetest note about it :') so i was shocked then this banging nonsense started haha hope you're in a quieter space now!
I started my first ever crochet project two days ago so I was really happy to see this video!! It's just so cozy to crochet togheter
When I lived in China in a huge apartment building, me and my two (also foreign) roommates would always hear loud talking, high heels and like... furniture scraping across the floor noises? Every. Single. Night. It was super annoying. But none of us spoke Chinese, so we asked our landlady to help. She said she asked the building people to deal with it, but the neighbors denied doing anything wrong. It kept happening so finally we called the police and apparently they were running an illegal gambling den out of the apartment! It stopped after that. 🙂
Please keen on doing these type of vlogs I’m in love 😻
Sending you all the love ❤️
the apartment drama bit felt so personal and fun omg it was so nice
I am always so inspired by your crafting videos. Thank you for sharing your project! The bag is extremely cute!
thank you!! hay hay crochet has great designs :')
watching your new content is apart of my sunday morning routine now!! wishing you a nice day, cari ^^
have a wonderful day too!!!
when i feel anxious your videos always gives me peaceful mind... really thankfull from bottom of my heart. have a good day, i will pray for you
Cari I cannot even put into words how much comfort your videos give me. Seriously your channel got me through 2021. Also I cannot tell how much you made me fall in love with Korea. I am so excited to see all in real life one day. You are such a gorgeous, authentic and funny person(no really you crack me up so often^^) and I just wanna thank you for being you and putting out videos. I send you so many kisses from Vienna xx
When I heard the trumpet start la vie en rose I started smiling. Agreed wonderful playlist. Your vlogs are such a good vibe. Thanks for the cool content.
Hi Cari as a crocheter of over 30 years let me say you can hold your hook in whatever way you like! There is no 'supposed to's' really! Whatever is comfortable for you. Hopefully as you go along you'll pick up speed. By the way I love your colours, I don't feel the green is too bright but it might be brighter is real life than it is in video form. Your pattern is lovely.
I always watch your videos while i'm crocheting, its so relaxing! maybe hoping for a future crochet with me by you! it would be so relaxing! thank you so much and happy year of the tiger
Watching this on a Saturday night and about to go to sleep as the granny that I am. Loved the video as always, sending all the love 🌼
hehhehe have a lovely night!!
Watching this while crocheting was the best pleasure ahaha. After watching you buy yarn I'm finally motivated to drive to a shop (it takes nearly an hour to get there... i've been procrastinating this for a month) and buy some new colors myself :3 Glad the situation with your neighbor resolved calmly xx
I love how many happy moments you had during this video
That is such a cute bag!! I love the colors so much! 💚🤍
thank you, i do too!
Just stumbled across your channel. I lived in Wonju for a few years and spent money weekends in Seoul. Loving the memories your videos are bringing back. Love from Scotland
cari님 올리시는 영상 항상 잘 보고있어요💕 영자막 달아주셔서 공부하는데도 도움이 많이 돼요ㅎㅎ 예쁜 장소도 많이 알아갑니다🥰 층간 소음 잘? 해결되셔서 다행이예요 정말 친절하게 말씀하셨네요ㅋㅋㅋ
What a beautiful bag...OMG :)) I'm in love with it
I love seeing the world through your eyes Cari! :)
love the colours u chose for ur bag
I love how the bag turned out. It's so pretty and the colours are so nice. I would love to learn how to crochet but don't know if I have the patience to finish it. And in Singapore crochet items are so expensive. Maybe I should really give it a try. Enjoyed the vlog Cari,thank you for making my day!!I am all caught up with all your vlogs. Keep them coming okay? Take care Cari ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Pausing the video to comment you crocheting with a face mask on and listening to music🎧🎶 on a coziest looking bed and that ponytail...... Is a whole daymn vibe ✨✨✨😊💜💜💜..... Unnie you look so smart in that ponytail.... Would love to see you do it often 😊😊😊😊
Love this so much Cari!
I was in Seoul almost 6 years ago and wanted to buy some yarn like a souvenir, but I really didn’t know how to google yarn shop locations! Now I know where I can go during my next trip 🥺
Thank you for this video! I really love your style of vloging and editing 💕
Yey! Another cari vlog! You always complete my Sundays
hope you have a great weekend!
loved the vlog cari!! it makes the grey winter days way more colourful :)
🥰🙏
why do i share so many hobbies with so many people lmao i like to crochet and learn korean like you, i’ve met people you crochet and like fnaf like me, some kpop fans and crochet people. i love that we’re all connected by something
The bag you made is so cute!
You sound so high on the clouds when you talk about how happy you are with the finished product you made by yourself. Im happy for you too! Have a great week cari
Hehhehe thank you! Have a great week too!
I love that bag pattern. Looks like a fun make for me to whip up, maybe as a few gifts? You might enjoy Arne and Carlos' floral blanket patterns. I bought three of them as a pack and am working on two of them as blankets. You could easily just crochet the flowers and use them as adornments on things, including the bag you just made. I like the greens you chose. It can be so hard buying yarn, especially if you buy it online as I do so often as getting the colours to work together is a challenge. The one thing about living in Tasmania is the lack of really interesting art and craft shops with a large selection of products. Yarn is one of those things best shopped for in person. I've recently discovered The Yarn Inn which is in Latrobe in Tasmania and Sally is absolutely lovely, incredibly knowledgeable and has a beautiful range of yarn. She is one of the few here though.
I always look forward to your vlogs every Sunday! 💜 healing~
Hoping I get to go to Korea real soon :)
hope you have a lovely sunday!
Love my weekend cari cakes vlogs ✨
Those yarns! So pretty. I would have to stop myself from buying everything too.
I learned how to crochet holding the hook the same way, like a pencil. But after I learned how to knit and went back to crochet, I held the hook like I would a knitting needle. It's so much easier for me.
Wow...the Swiftie in question is adorable. She also sounds like an Australian who grew up in Canada but spends lots of time in London and random places in the US. Her joy and happy-tears are palpable.
i think she's british but she has said that because of moving her accent is a mess (she lives in the US now) so you're spot on hhahhhaaa
The crochet bag turned out really good!
I loveee this I’ve been knitting recently !! I feel like I’m watching a lil clip of my life HAHA I went to the yarn store n picked colours
Ugh this makes me want to get back into crochet. Love that bag.
Ahhhh Cari you are the best! I started crocheting in November (I'm on my third piece now!) and I'll be in Korea for several months from March on and was contemplating wether or not to take yarn with me or where to get it in Korea and how much it would be and then you come out with this video! Can't believe it! Thank you so much and happy crocheting!
😍😍😍😍😍
Loved this!
niamh adkins is ❤️!!! chats and reacts also has very long and entertaining reactions to Taylor stuff
YEEESSSS!!! So much to love in this video! The red hat: chef's kiss, corgi: perfection, mentioning Niamh and her Taylor Swift fan-ness: YAS! plus on top RuPaul as background entertainment, honestly, except for your neighbour I've loved everything in this vlog
LOL thank you so much hhahhahaaa
Amazing work with the bag! 🤩👍👍👍 I want to (re) learn crocheting, too, but first I have to finish my bachelor thesis...
Your vlogs are awesome!!
ah yes the serotonin i needed for today
Seeing you knit reminded me of taking a knitting class in high school & how it was nice knitting baby hats & sweaters to do as part of community service. I surprised myself how much patience I had though I would lose count a lot haha. Props to you all continuing to knit or crotchet, I know it’s not for me but it was a nice skill to learn at that time.
Hi!! I’m a new subscriber, and I just want to say that you are one of the brightest beings I’ve ever come across. Have a good day 😊
Straight Serotoninnnn for the entire 20 min 🥰🤩
Your purse turned out so cute!! perfect for springtime~💚I definitely wanna check out 바늘이야기 the next time I go to Seoul. I lived in Wonju for 3 years and could never find a yarn store but me and my husband just moved to Busan last week and found out there's a yarn store at 서동미로시장 (Maze Market) so I'm super excited to go there when I get the chance ^^ (lol still unpacking)
!!!! How did I not know about this yarn store omg ily
Tbh love the crocheting content!
yeeee thank you!!
Love the bag!! Your videos always provide such a calming experience. You guys really need to get a Corgi someday. I could just imagine Kurt's face if he had been with you when you came across that sweet pup....LOL!!❤❤
Love the bag. Well done!
That bag is super cute! I love the pattern, gives me retro vibes, would be adorable with 50s sundress.
Glad your neighbor issue resolved. Strange cultural difference about the not talking to neighbor directly. Me and my downstairs neighbor exchanged phone numbers early on, since floors are super thin, we always let each other know if the other is being too loud. That's how I found out my little robot vacuum sounds like a dog playing with a heavy toy on the floor (no I don't have a dog lol), so I just switched back to my regular vacuum. It was a cheap model, so not a big deal. Maybe your neighbor has a robo vac? Floor boards magnify sounds in weird ways.
Also cookies are a great way to befriend the neighbors lol, I'm always bringing baked goods to my neighbors.
Your videos sooth my soul
Cari !!! I want your bag !! Lol it’s so cute 😍🙌🏻
wahhh thank you! try making it!!!
I love the bag you made it's so cute 🙂
Your videos bring peace ! I srsly need to sleep (it's 4:30am!), But I guess, 1 video won't hurt,right ? 🤐😸
go to bed ahhhh!!!!
the yarn shop clip gave me so much happiness!! it’s quite hard to find nice yarn where i’m from and i could only dream of having such a huge place to buy it from. thanks for sharing the joy, cari! hugs ❤️
hope you can find some good yarn sources soon!!
Your bag is amazing👍🏻 i want to try it!!
Omg I love Niamh too! She's so pure 🥺❤️ I also love Nena Shelby bc of you!! I live for swifty content lol 😂
Congrats on that gorgeous little crocheted bag Cari, and exited for next week's video! Happy Sundayyy ❤️🥰
yesss her guitar tutorials are the only ones i can follow hahaha and thank you! happy sunday too!!
@@caricakes ❤️🥰✨
Love little coffee shops so eclectic..and great yarn shop. So jealous…
ah the bag is so cute!!
thank you!!
A tip I use sometimes (as a bad color picker myself) is to take a photo of your yarn in black and white so you can see the value differences. If your colors are in the same color family (i.e. several shades of green) but look the same in black and white, they won't have enough contrast when they are used next together. if they never touch each other it's not a huge deal, but if they do the color changes might be much more subtle. I love how the bagged turned out! I started. learning to do tapestry crochet last semester during finals to waste time and destress. Molla Mills is a GREAT tapestry crochet designer.
I wish I had a good tip for hook grip...I hold mine like I hold my knitting needles, which is way harder on my wrists but I can go really fast!
We have Michaels here in Canada and it's the only craft store where I live that sells yarn besides Walmart but that's a grocery store. The yarn store in your video is like heaven to me because I love art and also knitting (I knit with knitting looms). If I ever have a chance to visit Korea, I will definitely check out that yarn store.
Loved the random german poster about a monk from Gallen in the bagel café hahaha
I love your vibes. Your Vlogs are so calming. You’re living my dream life. Hope I’ll make it one day come true. Btw that thing you said about the noise that your neighbours do it’s the same with mine. Like for no reason I hear them banging the wall with a hammer or whatever. Sometimes I think that they do this maybe because I’m loud, but I’m not. And they usually do this early in the morning or during night time when everyone is asleep. I’m so sick of it, but I can’t actually go to them and complain.
I saw your bag on Instagramme and it looked so cute I can’t. Didn’t know you made it yourself, it’s really pretty and the colours are looking great😍😌
Thank you for putting the link in the description, I will definitely check it out🙏🏼
thank you! its so easy to make so definitely try!!
Hey if you want to go back to the pen-grip, I really like the Clover Amour hooks for both pen and knife grips. The set is more on the expensive side, so I would just get one or two hooks in the sizes you use frequently to test them out. I bought the set a few years ago and it was definitely worth the investment for me (but I've been crocheting for like... 15 years 👵🏻). I don't have time for hooks that don't make my life easier 🤣
omg yes i love Niamh so much, her and her boyfriend are also so so cute together! I was never really a fan of taylor but when the 10min v. came out and i saw her reaction to that and the rest of taylors version, i went on such a deep dive to understand what it was all about and meanin behind all the lyrics lol
I legit spent a week crocheting a cardigan while binge watching RuPaul's Drag Race so... I can totally relate haha love your content, you're definitely my favorite vlogger
Wow!! Your new bag looks great!!!
thank you so much^^
Watching this in my lazy sunday without sun today ☔
Love your video as always 💕
have a cozy day!
@@caricakes you too !!!
Yes!! I love the yarn and crochet content!! The pencil hold is great when you work with fine threads. But the over-hand hold is my go-to. A few videos back you showed you crocheting sontag and it's been on my mind ever since! I'm determined to figure out how to make it!😁😊
Omg yesss there are plenty of patterns! Mine was from etsy and maybe the only crochet one you’ll find - the rest are knit!
@@caricakes Omg thank you so much!! Exactly - all I could find was knit. Oh I'm so excited now!😊 Can't wait to get to it!💖
ummmm that yarn store is a dream!!! OMG
Oh Cari 🥰 so happy to be watching your video today and not part of the noisy neighbor gang.
💛💛💛
Hi! Loved your video! I just wanted to mention that both ways of holding your hook is right! One is called the knife grip and the other is the pencil grip, It's different for everyone, but both work! I personally use both because it gets tiring to do one or the other for a while but yeah!
could you possibly film a whats in my purse video? I luv watching them and it would be rly cool to see, especially with the new bag you crocheted!
Love the vlog, great bag its looks good, I literally dont have the patience for fiddly things like that. Im glad the neighbour has quietened down, my eldest in her last place lived next door to a 22 bedroom student house which was a nightmare constantly partying nobody would do anything about the noise its the councils issue but they were beyond useless, he landlord couldnt careless as he was racking in a fortune from the students, she eventually moved after a year of hell, thankfully she is in a much quieter apartment. Have a blessed weekend and cant wait for the next video, lots of love from the UK xx
i can only imagine! luckily i was able to live on campus for school where the noise level was pretty controlled but so many of the kids who lived off campus would be SO loud and we lived in an old historic neighborhood so i felt even worse for the poor neighbors :/ glad she got out!
I looove that bag omg
MY FAVVV HOOMAN IS BACK WITH A VIDEOO
