Tonight I 'discovered' you and I am absolutely blown away by your talent. Not only the crocheted projects, but I Ioved seeing your beautiful embroidery too. It was so wonderful to see your studio. Thank you so much for this tour. By the way: I think we are about the same age. I was born in December 1952, so I am 71 now. So great to watch a video made by someone of my age instead of someone aged 30 something ! I am more of a knitter than a crocheter, but I love all things creative. I have sewn a lot in the past and also worked with paper, for instance scrapbooking. Also loved to do crazy quilting. If I had only more time I would do that again. Nowadays I often test knitting patterns for designers from all over the world and I love that very much. Thank you for a very nice video and I hope you will vlog much more in the near future. Hugs from The Netherlands!
I’m so glad you discovered me! Yes we are about the same age. Thank you for your really lovely comment, - it encourages me to make more videos. The next one will be a little more about my embroidery. x
You just popped up on my recommended videos, and I don’t how I’ve managed to miss you before! I am primarily a knitter, but have come very late to crocheting (I’m 74). Your blankets are inspirational, and I really enjoyed your studio tour. You’re right, we do like a wee nosy around other people’s craft spaces! 😅 Have subscribed and look forward to seeing more of you and checking out your tutorials. 😊
Acabo de ver el video y para mi eres una inspiración de colores, estoy haciendo tu manta de troncos y estoy enamorada de ella. Yo soy profesora de crochet aquí en las Palmas de Gran Canaria, antes fui sanitaria y mi Mundo ahora es este. Y te admiro y me pareces una persona sumamente especial para los colores. Gracias por ser y estar aquí ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm curious if you have ever made junk journals? I ask because I made one out of an old book that I quilted a cover for and I filled it will all of my little needlework samples and works that never amounted to anything. I enjoy looking through it so much, rather than just having it stashed in a drawer. All of your little samples are so fabulous, they deserve to be seen.
Thank you Marion for sharing your studio and giving us a peek at your design process. The space is lovely and the surrounding countryside just beautiful! I absolutely love your patterns and tutorials, and am nearing the completion of Winter Walk and hope to start the Seed Packet next. You are very talented!🌷 Maryann
Thank you Marion! I absolutely enjoyed touring your Crochet Studio 😍 It was so wonderful to see your previous crafting endeavours & how they have melted together into your crochet designs ... ❤ Susannah
Loved your video. I also like to have special little knick knacks round my craft room. I have drifted from one craft to another over the years but always return to crochet. Been doing it for almost 50 years now, I love that it's had a resurgence, especially The good old granny square. Love your work Marion.
Thank you for sharing your creative space with us; you’re right we are nosey crafters! But it’s inspirational and motivating and one can get good ideas. I really enjoyed your vlog 🧶😊
I would feel compelled to make a giant, beautiful wall hanging out of the tiny squares of fabric and tiny roses. I can see it in my minds eye. It would look like your little cards but be huge. I enjoyed your video.
Thank you Marion for a wonderful tour of your studio. I agree..we crafter / crocheters are a nosy bunch. I so enjoyed seeing all of your craft work. You are an inspiration for many of us crocheters and I'm looking forward to another Vlog! You have a beautiful studio! Thank you for all you do and for sharing with all of us!
It's nice to meet you! Your studio is wonderfully bright and airy, one can't help but be happy there. Thank you for sharing your space, it was a nice visit.
Hi Marion, I follow you on Instagram and love your patterns. I have so many projects waiting and people keep having babies so I keep having to stop to crochet gifts for them! As soon as I’m caught up, I can’t wait to try one of your patterns. I liked the vlog, I’m 28 and perhaps not your target audience! You come accross as very warm and maternal, it was comforting. Best wishes Alex
😂😂No, maybe not my target audience ( just think of me as your granny!👵🏻) Anyway, I hope that doesn’t stop you trying one of the patterns, as you say. Crochet is such an amazing pastime for any age. xx
You just popped up lovely to see someone nearer my age am 70 since March been a knitter as long as can remember and still learning crochet and getting there thank you
What a lovely creative space. I particularly enjoyed hearing about your creative and business journey. As a creative about to reach 4 years in my business it really gave me heart to hear how dreams can be achieved and how the path evolves along the way. Thank you for sharing your space.
@@midgeporter7495 It’s been a long, hard journey as you will know yourself, Midge. I’ve watched your Instagram posts, setting up your craft market stands, with a good deal of nostalgia. That was our life every weekend from 1988 to 2010. We used to double up to two fairs a weekend, with a mid week one sometimes too. At that time I also had a bricks and mortar shop/gallery, a mail order business (before the internet), then a website. Oh, and I taught three evening classes and two day classes in embroidery just to ensure that sleep was way down the list of priorities! This was all because my husband had given up his secure teaching job to be in the business with me, and with two kids at school looking to go to uni and a mortgage to pay, we HAD to make it work. I scaled well back on the craft fairs though, when we started doing trade fairs in 1998, and that was when the business really took off. I think your stands look brilliant, and though it’s a slog to set up and take down, you get a real buzz from talking to your customers, don’t you?😊
@@Woolthreadpaint thank you so much. I think I am reaching that stage of moving on from craft fairs now and I have really enjoyed being part of some of the larger yarn festivals. Great places for networking and getting good ideas and tips. I do love talking to folks and getting that feedback is so valuable. Being able to work around my family really helps :)
@@midgeporter7495 Yes that was the way we went. We cut back on the smaller fairs, concentrating on the larger ones, like the West End fair during the Edinburgh Fringe (seven days a week for three weeks was quite an experience) Country Living and the Highland Show, for example. Latterly we just did those three, as well as the Trade Fairs and that was enough! I could see you having great success at the Yarn Festivals and the big Creative Craft shows at the SECC are worth trying. We used to exhibit at the Creative Craft Christmas events and they were really good.
@@Woolthreadpaint thank you for great suggestions of new places to try. Last year I was at Yarndale and The Scottish Yarn Festival. This year I have done 'Tangled' in Galashiels, The Cumbrian Wool Gathering, and I will be at The North East Wool Show and The Scottish Yarn Festival again. It is always great to hear which shows to try and hopefully next year I will build up to a trade fair. Not quite sure how that works though.
Your video just came up in my recommended feed and I'm so glad it did! I've got one of your crochet blankets on my to-do list :) That was a lovely studio tour! Thank you for sharing it with us :)
I just came across the lovely video of your studio. You are so talented! You do beautiful work. I think I’m around your age and I knit, crochet, sew …I’ve been living in NY for 35 years but where you’re located reminds me of growing up in rural Ireland where I’m headed home next week for 3 weeks. I’m subscribed to your channel now xx Mary
Hi from Scotland. Yes I’m sure we are quite similar to Ireland. How lovely to be going back home to visit! Have a lovely time and thank you for subscribing😊
You may have stimulated me to have a bit of a tidy because my studio is a hot mess lol. I love the yarn all on display. Sadly, I am wool hoarder and although I am a Brit I currently live in the US in Louisiana, so I cannot leave any of mine out due to all the tropical pests that can and sometimes do make it into my house. I look forward to returning to Scotland soon. Also, today its over 94 degrees in Louisiana and it isn't even really summer yet. So, seeing the lovely countryside and cool wind makes me long for home. Also not crocheting or knitting anything large right no due to the aforementioned Heat. The work is gorgeous, and I love the light in the studio and that glorious French door.
I think this was great, I loved seeing your studio it was really interesting. I think you have allot of experience and I found it fascinating to listen to. I mostly like to watch crafters vlogs on TH-cam while I craft. Loved this video ❤
I strayed across this tour just before lunch today so I paused it had lunch and came back to it. It was a very thorough tour. Thank you so much for doing it. Such beautiful colours. I use acrylic yarns as I have allergies and wool yarn tend to shut my lungs down. You can be assured I will be going back to the start of your vlogs and work my way through, so glad to have found you x Tina
Glad you managed to fortify yourself with some lunch - it’s a bit of a marathon tour! I’m glad you’ve found me too! I think you might enjoy the next vlog coming soon x
I'm impressed by your craft space . So lovely. I live in Arizona in the US. I have a summer home and a winter home so in winter I do have a small craft room. In my summer home I have a very large bed room which is also my craft room, not the best situation but it works for me. The heat in Arizona drives us to the mountains of eastern Arizona where it's cool in the summer. The worse part is deciding what materials I want to take. I do slow stitching and watercolor painting and some junk journaling. I've slowly divided my materials and split my materials . I also like to knit and crochet. Makes my life interesting. Living in the desert and living in the forest.
I'm very lucky. The heat in central Az is very intense. It can get up to 120 degrees F. Luckily I do indoor crafts. Lately I've been thinking about crouching some shawls for winter and summer here in the mountains where it gets chilly in the evenings. Your crochet inspired me to do that after I saw your projects thank you for that. Happy crocheting.🌵🌻🌲
Thank you so much for your lovely video, I will one day have a beautiful studio like yours. When my granddaughter is grown up, she is 11 now. I havnt made one of your patterns as yet as I am currently working my way through Jane Crowfoots blanket patterns. But I love your style and colours so will pick up one of your soon. I have the pattern of the Seed Packet so this will be the one I feel. Thank you again. Oh I live in Western Australia 🇦🇺 And am a descendant of Scotland 🏴. 🩷🤍💙
Such a beautiful light and airy workspace Marion , I can also understand how you like to be alone to work there - I would be the same . Your creative endeavours are many and beautiful.
Love the video Marion I’ve got similar stashes of fabric, fabric I’ve painted ready to embroider, watercolour paintings at various stages A very small amount of wool and then I found you and now the wool stash is growing I made the winter walk and loved it even tho it was challenging at times. I’ve just started the new beach walk for youngest granddaughter, nearly 10 and I’ve just received the wool to do the cherry blossom for eldest granddaughter 13 next month. My plan is to finish them both in time for Christmas 🤞🤞🤞. Wish me luck 😂. Looking forward to your next vlog Thank you 🙏
I enjoyed your tour through your studio! I am primarely a knitter but i also like crochet. I will look up your patterns on Ravelry, and look for the bright christmas pattern.
I’m a first time viewer and enjoyed the tour of your studio very much. I guess I must be one of those nosy crafters you mentioned. You spoke of Maria Goldberg several times but I couldn’t find her anywhere. I’m I spelling her name correctly? And what is the name of her book? I’m anxious to check out your other videos. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us.
@@zena-knittingbeans7973Yes. There only a couple at the moment but another nine coming soon. However it’s very easy to purchase the individual colours on Wool Warehouse yourself.
i love your studio and where you live. I am making a sea creature blanket and need to know how to crochet together . I am getting great ideas from you. Thank you Love meeting you. Happy to find you - I'm from New Jersey, USA
Hi, a very interesting video, you are certainly very talented at many things. I enjoyed the tour very much , thank you ! You referenced Marie Goldsmith books, are they still available, ? I’ve had no luck finding them ?Or did i mishear the name? Thank you, Bridget
I did your Noel n p last Christmas and I adore it..I’ve bought the seed packet pattern and yarn pack so that’s my next blanket when I’ve finished the one I’m doing now. ( sorry but it’s one of Made by Anita’s First adventures) I only do yours and hers blankets because I love the grannies ( sometimes 🤨😂) Can I ask do you have a favourite brand/ type of hook..? Best wishes Julieanne from Barnard Castle xx❤
No apologies needed😆 I love Anita’s patterns too! I always use my trusty Clover Amour hook. I crochet a LOT as you can imagine, and my hands never get sore with those hooks.
I enjoyed your studio tour very much. Lovely space and wonderful home. Have you ever made a granny square blanket with cotton yarn? I have had gorgeous colors of Cascade Ultra Pima dk on my shelf for years and finally decided to make a sunburst granny square blanket with it, probably queen sized. My concern, of course, is whether my ends will find their way out after sewing them in. I know i can probably trim them every once in a while because i am crocheting over, and sewing in, long ends. 😊
Hi, no I tend to steer clear of cotton yarn as it hurts my hands. As long as the ends are securely sewn in (I weave each one in three directions) you can safely trim any little bits that pop out later.
Most of my patterns are beginner friendly, especially as there are so many accompanying video tutorials. Probably the Cloud Cover blanket is the simplest but I know of many people who have successfully made the Beach Walk blanket when they had never crocheted before.
You are gifted, all the beautiful projects you do, you can put your hand to anything, JUST AMAZING, I must try one of your crochet blanket tutorials, I love your work space, AMAZING thanks for the tour😂
