That shoulder hug is just to die for! The two skeins worked so well together and the colours look fab on you! Tami is so thoughtful and Judy nailed it! Such good yarney friends. I always knit in 'my spot'. Enjoy your family dinner.❤
The yarn was perfect for that pattern -- it totally made the pattern work. Thank you so much Diane. I am so grateful for such a blessed birthday, and my yarn friends. :-) I am really looking forward to family dinner -- it will be fun to catch up with everyone!
The pattern turned out so nicely in this yarn! And wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be on first look. I will be making this one again, for sure. Your knitting spot sounds very cozy. :-)
I have a special recliner i like to crochet in because then my dog can still snuggle in my legs. He's a big mama's boy. The shoulder hug looks so cozy. Lovely birthday gifts. The hat yarn just screams fall to me. I just love that teal hat! ❤
Hi Cathy, Happy Belated Birthday! 🎂 You received some very lovely gifts from some very lovely friends. That was so sweet of them. I too had my issues with the rippling of my washcloth. Your hug shawl looks so pretty on you, you compliment that yarn so much. Stay well and take good care of yourself. 💜🧶🤟🏼
Hi Dianne. Thank you so much for the Happy Birthday wishes! You are so right that my friends are very kind and sweet. Relieved when I hear that others had rippling with their washcloth. Not to worry though, it will still wash dishes, all the same. lol Another that I can keep for myself, and I do need a few for the house. The yarn really worked well with that hug-shawl pattern. I am so happy that people suggested knitting and looking for a shawl. If really set me on the right track. Thank you Dianne, and take care. :-)
Thank you so much, the poncho is really soft! My couch is pretty comfy and one of my favs. Sometimes I even fall asleep when I could be crocheting. lol
Happy Birthday Cathy! Your gifts are wonderful. Enjoy them all. The diamond painted door hanger is adorable. So happy that you found a pattern for the yarn from Diane, it turned out beautiful. I mostly crochet at my desk while watching videos or listening to an audiobook.
Thank you for your Happy Birthday wishes! The suggestions in the comments really helped set me on the right track for finding a pattern. Thank you for that. As soon as the video was finished, the door hanger was put in place. Very nice, as I haven't had something to have to hang on my door until now. :-)
That is such a good choice! Next year, Judy has said there might be more black yarn in the Butterfly MAL, so I will try to remember to sit by a window.
Hi Debbie. Thank you so much for the Happy Birthday wishes, Debbie. It was a great pattern, and fun to knit. I also enjoy knitting while watching TH-cam. It's like having company of a yarn friend. :-)
Hi Cathy! Happy birthday, some wonderful gifts from friends. Your shoulder hug looks so good on you. I will have to look up that pattern. I had not heard of acrylic hand-dyed yarn before. It's very nice.
Thank you so much for the warm Birthday wishes Dimitra. The yarn did all the work in this pattern. The Landscapes and the design were made for each other! I feel very blessed. :-)
Happy Birthday Cathy! Love the colours in your shrug❤. Have a wonderful dinner Sunday. We are busy packing up today and tomorrow will be long so we opted for pizza for ours Sunday, yay, no muss no fuss. And, I think we find out what the new grand baby coming in March will be. Another yay, and then I knit 😂. Have the best birthday dinner!
Thank you so much for the Happy Birthday wishes Tami! And thank you for the lovely gifts. The shrug worked up so pretty -- and it was all the yarn. It did so well in this pattern. Happy Birthday to R. (not sure if I should say his name here, privacy etc). Many blessings about the new grandbaby -- that will be exciting news!
Hello Cathy W I love to sit at the bottom of our bed to do all of my Stitch work either knit, crochet, embroidery, or whatever else I would be working on ❤🎉
Hi Cathy! Happy Birthday 🎉🎉. What lovely gifts you received, and I love the shrug, it looks so cozy. My favorite place to crochet is at my craft table in front of my computer 😊 the sofa is out of the question because my dogs believe the sofa is for sitting with them and of course petting them. 🙄
Hi Christine! Thank you so much for the Happy Birthday wishes. I am so grateful for another year, for lovely friends, and yes, lovely gifts. Your dogs would of course be priority when it comes to petting time on the couch. Years ago, we used to have a dog and a cat & I totally understand!
Hi Cathy. Happy Birthday. It’s been a busy week. My daughter had major surgery and after. 6 weeks of being on palliative care my mom passed. She passed in her sleep at the age of 95. She wasn’t sick at all it simply became her time. Hope you have a great week. 😊
oh Shannon, my heart goes out to you. So much has been happening in your life these past few weeks. Continuing prayers for you and your family. That peace surrounds you all, comfort with each other, and healing energy for your daughter, S (not putting her name here for privacy). Gentle Hugs, my friend. 🫂💙💖
It will probably take me quite a while to get to it, my knitting queue is quite long 😃 On top of which I’m a slow knitter and limited on time, but I DO think I have yarn that will work for it, so when I get around to it I will send you a pic. 😊 random question: Do you use fingering and lace weight yarns very often?
@@KnittingAlongTheRockies I also have quite a queue, and totally understand. No worries, and no pressure from me, just if you decide it's time to make it. 🙂 About your question, I have a goal to work with fingering weight yarn more, and have been saving up patterns. It is one of my goals for 2025!
Judy amazes me. So surprising -- how soft the hand dyed acrylic is, and how beautiful the colour. And so much love and care in choosing the gifts. I feel so blessed.
Happy birthday 🎉 we are moving into my birthday month. Not sure I'm impressed 😂 However my thanksgiving news was a sonogram of my grandson's first child❤ a girl!!
Liking that shoulder hug Cathy! I’ve a question. Do you knit/crochet in public? I am getting a bit braver to do this in certain circumstances. Guess it’s because I’m thinking people are focusing on me which unnerves me a little x
Hi Loraine. I love this question! May I answer it on my next video? And I will give you a quick answer here, in advance.... I have not tried doing this as yet. However am curious to try, as it could lead to some great chats. It is a wonderful conversation starter!
My favorite places to knit/crochet are on the sofa, or at my craft table.
Do you have favorite places to knit or crochet too?
So great that Tammy included the pattern. The yarn is incredibly beautiful
You are so right about the pattern being a lovely surprise. And my birthday yarn is all beyond. I am feeling so very grateful.

I love your shoulder hug....beautiful colours! I knit in a chair right by my livingroom window.
The pattern turned out so nicely in this yarn! And wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be on first look. I will be making this one again, for sure. Your knitting spot sounds very cozy. :-)
Hope you had a wonderful birthday.
Thank you so much Mary. It has been a wonderful time. All month of November has been lovely. :-)

Hi Sarah. Crocheting in a recliner sounds like a really comfortable spot. Thank you so much for watching and commenting. :-)

Your shoulder warmer is beautiful!
Thank you so much Heather. I really enjoyed making this one. And the yarn really striped well in this pattern.
I love to crochet in a sunny window. Better to see by 😂
That is such a good choice! Next year, Judy has said there might be more black yarn in the Butterfly MAL, so I will try to remember to sit by a window.

Happy Birthday 🎂 Blessings 😊 My favorite is on the couch when I am alone. I don't usually crochet when my husband is home.
Thank you for the Happy Birthday blessings. I like crocheting at the couch too. Very comfortable!

Hello Cathy W I love to sit at the bottom of our bed to do all of my Stitch work either knit, crochet, embroidery, or whatever else I would be working on ❤🎉
What a cozy spot for stitching. And I imagine, a blanket to snoodle up in is nearby, so that is a bonus!

@ thank you lso much my friend 🥰🙏🥰
Just got the free pattern for the shoulder hug. Love it and the color of yours!
I hope that you enjoy making it. Love to see your finished shoulder hug, if you would like to send me a pic.

Hand dyed acrylic! Not too common . Leave it to Judy to find such beautiful yarn and how special that she made you that adorable diamond art.
Judy amazes me. So surprising -- how soft the hand dyed acrylic is, and how beautiful the colour. And so much love and care in choosing the gifts. I feel so blessed.
Happy birthday 🎉 we are moving into my birthday month. Not sure I'm impressed 😂 However my thanksgiving news was a sonogram of my grandson's first child❤ a girl!!
Happy December Birthday to you! And wonderful to hear about your granddaughter-on-the-way. Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Birthday. I’m a November child also. My birthday was the 13th of November
Thank you for the Happy Birthday wishes. And a very Happy November Birthday to you too, Bonnie! :-)
