    Knitting youtube - that is another rabbit hole to fall down into. The Knitty Stew, Needles at the Ready, Crazy Sock Lady, Knit365, Grocery Girls and Driftless Knitting are always on my list to watch. Thank you for keeping me company while I worked through the tangle that my sock yarn ended up in.

    Oh my goodness, Apricot is PRECIOUS!! I’m sooooo happy you love your small! I’m also obsessed with the one you made for me, and how you were thinking of my sweet Piper 😻 I’m sending you a great big virtual hug! 🤗🤗🤗

    Holy Smokes - Apricot is a STAR! Love, love your cat! My cat would kill me if I tried cuddles like that - lol. I was working on Thomas by Kathy Barrick while watching your video. I'm about an hour or two away from a FINISH!!! YAY!!

      Apricot would probably kill me if I DIDN’T meet my cuddle quota for the day 😂 congrats on your finish!

    I love seeing all of your knitting projects - glad you've been enjoying it again 😁 one thing I would say about Stitch Pal is that I have to remind myself I don't need to check the completion date every time 🙈 have to really assess my mood before checking 😂 I've been working on my Link and Zelda piece while watching, thank you so much for the video! Happy stitching! PS. The cuddle from Apricot made my heart completely melt 😂😍

    • @StitchesByShelby

      Thank you! And yes, I definitely need to not check Stitch Pal every time I work on Contessa 😂

    I’ve been enjoying seeing all of your knitting. Your botanical tee turned out lovely and your reel with all of the styling options is so cute! I’ve been on a knitting kick lately too. I’m working on the last few rows of my Garter Snake Cowl while watching this morning.

    Hi Shelby! Your smalls exchanges are precious. Congratulations on your stitch along and your knitting finishes. Both are beautiful. I stitched on Elizabeth Furniss 1836 by Hands Across the Sea as I watched your video. She’s a big girl I started for Sampler September. I have read the last book you recommended about the book club. It was not my usual type of book, but I LOVED it. I recently purchased The Butcher and the Wren by Alaina Urquhart. She is one of the hosts of Morbid, a true crime podcast I listen to while I’m running. I am headed out of town for a few days next week and plan on taking it with me to read. Thanks for another great video.
    Happy stitching,
    Kara

      Ah yay another Southern Book Club fan! I do think that book has a wider appeal than just horror lovers. Happy reading!

    I was working on my Hue Shift Afghan while watching you this evening.
    Good luck with your knitting

    Great FFOs!! I’m stitching Nevermore from the prairie schooler. I’m so close to finishing!!

    I’ve been loving this weather too. I love watching Jasmine from The Knitting Nurse, she is actually working on a Sea Glass Tee too. She also streams on Twitch.

      Thank you for the recommendation, I’ve been enjoying Jasmine’a videos!

    Hi Shelby! I was stitching Jeanette Douglas’ Fall Into Autumn while I watched today - I’ve been really into the fall smalls this month. I love your knitting - I am a beginner knitter and don’t know of too many knitting channels yet but I do watch Kutovakika (she recently knit her wedding dress!! 😮) and Stacy Ellstone. Thanks to her I’m casting on a half and half triangles wrap by Purl Soho. Have a great weekend 😊

  • @sharri115

    I love your completed tee! It makes me want to learn to knit! I’m currently working on Rule of Life by modern folk embroidery. I really like your book talks and although I don’t really like horror movies, I can handle horror novels (except for a certain Stephen King short story that just freaked me out lol). My absolute favorite book actually won the bram stoker award long ago, it’s called Swan Song by Robert mccammon

    • @StitchesByShelby
      @StitchesByShelby  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I haven’t read that book, I’ll add it to my list! Also- I need to know which Stephen King short story that is, because there is one for me like that too 😂😅

    Thank you for your lovely episode! I would like to recommend “skeindeer knits”. She is a Norwegian like me but lives in London so her channel is in English. I’m not done with my CaterpillarSAL yet… but I need to knit Christmas gifts 😂

    • @StitchesByShelby
      @StitchesByShelby  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for the recommendation! Christmas is sneaking up on me this year, I need to get moving on gifts as well 😂

    funny that you mention it, I downloaded a ton of Darcy Coates books off of kindle unlimited today! I’m going to read the one about a ship wreck on my beach holiday next week. All her books sound really intriguing.

    • @StitchesByShelby
      @StitchesByShelby  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I’m tempted to get Kindle Unlimited again just because of Darcy Coates. Let me know what you think of the ship wreck one! I just read Parasite and enjoyed it.

      @Stitches By Shelby ok, so „down below“ is hands down one of my favorites this year! It had me on the edge of my seat for every single page. Hunted by the same author was also a good one, more thriller than horror though. I’m exited to read more of her books this spooky season. 👻

    Working on Redwing Blackbirds sampler by Carriage House Samplings. As a 50/50 knitter/crossstitcher these days, I really enjoy the mixed content!
    I also loved the book recommendations. I read Cabin at the End of the World by Tremblay so I need to check out Head full of Ghosts. (Also, I’m pretty sure Shyamalan is adapting Cabin, so that should be interesting 😅)
    I also loved Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires. I’ll admit I was a little sad it wasn’t veering to a wackier, comedic conclusion, but the level of realism made it much more eerie.
    Enjoyed the podcast as always!x

    • @StitchesByShelby
      @StitchesByShelby  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you! I’m cautiously hopeful for the Cabin movie- we’ll see how it goes 😂

    Look up combination knitting if you don’t like continental purls.

    • @StitchesByShelby
      @StitchesByShelby  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Ok, I love that! Thank you for letting me know that’s a real thing!
