Oh my! The carrots are huge. I'm thinking a nice big vat of soup 😃 Have you ever sliced radishes and put them on a sandwich? Good luck with the costumes.

The soups you mentioned sounded delicious! I'm going through my cookbooks to find new recipes. Have you washed babys new hat? I find acrylic really softens up in the washer and dryer. I forget if I have mentioned this, we have been watching Cooking the Books on youtube. She has some great ideas.

Oh my how fun listening to the video when you sped it up. The voices sounded like a cute mouse cartoon! When you change fabric or color while sewing to you need to change the color of the thread?

I thought it was cute in the one section you could hear the girls' feet running across the floor - that is a noise that I cherish! Yes, many people switch thread when they do different colored projects. I don't know if it is normal to switch within a project like this or to just choose a color that matches the main color. I'm not a professional! I kept white the whole time because I didn't think it mattered that much when it was just for me.

I burst out laughing when I saw the R on the mitten. I have a friend who is a theoretical physicist and he still doesn't know his right from left so every year or so I get a request for another pair of mittens. One mitten is red and the other is lavender! 😂😂 The baby socks are adorable! I love the little sweater ❤ I do look forward to seeing the second one completed. Awww, kitty just wanted to be a guest star 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛ I use a lot of worsted weight yarns for shawls, ponchos, scarves, mittens, blankets and warm socks. I hope you have a fantastic weekend.

I'm over here laughing at myself. When I made my cardigan I fussed and fussed over buttons, finally put some on and I have yet to button my cardigan! 😂😂 I've been making dishcloths to give to a local charity shop that supports a school in my area. I'm all for making scrappy projects. I might use up some worsted yarn and make scrappy slippers for winter. We do not have any carpeting in our house (allergies) and the wooden floors get very cold in the winter.

33 subscribers! 🎉🎉 I really don't have a favorite color, I like the majority of them. If you twisted my arm, lol, it would be either yellow, green, red, purple, blue, orange...well, you get it. 😅 The sweater looks fabulous on you. The musselburgh looks great. I will have to check out the podcast you mentioned that made the gloves. The purple is pretty. I've also worked with the 4 strand cotton yarn (not Hobbii) and it almost drove me to drink 😂 The shawl did turn out beautifully but it was a chore.

I LOVE the tweed color of your sweater but, lol, the sleeves would drive me bonkers. I don't like them so far away from the body. I do like cozy and oversized but not the shoulders so far down. I would frog and do a more basic crochet sweater. I have yet to knit a sweater that i liked the fit of but I really like the look of the Stick sweater. The color is gorgeous! The socks are so cute. I decided not to purchase the pattern for the Habitation throw. To me it looked like a large shawl that was knit to size and then decreased down. Or, lol, a huge dish cloth pattern. I'm working on a scrappy shawl that is going to be thick, big and warm. Winters are getting rough as I get older and I can't get warm some days. I love the color for the Musselburgh! If that disappears from your project bag, it was me 😂😂😂 I just might borrow the changes you made. I love the idea of 2x2 rib for 6+ inches. The very first one I made was a disaster. I followed the pattern and the hat ended up being 13" around 😂😂 I don't know where I went wrong but all the others have been fine. Silly me 😅 Have a great Sunday and stay warm!

I love your dress! Are you going to wear it on an episode? As for your sweater, have you looked at the other projects on the project page, or the questions area? There are always changes that people make to get the fit better. Can you stretch the neck and sleeves during blocking? Also, the sweater may be getting caught on what you are wearing underneath. Do you have anything "slippery" to wear under it to find out if that is part of the issue. I hope you have a wonderful holiday season.

Your top is beautiful. Will you make more in different colors? I think Tin Can Knits has mitts and hats in multiple sizes for little ones. I'm curious to see how the hat fits your husband. It looks like it will be nice and warm around his ears. Has your husband checked Arcane Fibers for dying ideas? They might be able to help if he has questions.

I always go up one needle size when binding off. For some reason when I do a stretchy bind-off, it ends up looking wonky and really wide. It looks like you either dropped a stitch or did not pick up enough stitches in the underarm. You can darn those a bit to close up the space. They are cute though. I love the hat. I have made 5 so far for gifts.

Do you go up from your ribbing needle size or your main fabric size? I’m excited to try the Latvian bind off as it was pretty simple for a seen bind off. I have no clue what happened in the underarm as I was counting my stitches, but I’ll darn it up and it’ll be ok. First sleeve on the second sweater is turning out nicely so I’m proud of that!
