Wow! Everything is so beautiful & almost looks like fabric. I didn't know that you could use modeling paste. Have to give it a try. All your molds are so beautiful. Mine are all so deep because they are for backing. I can't seem to find the ones you used. I know this video is old, but I will try Amazon or eBay. Thank you so much for sharing.

Hi Helen, Thank you for sharing another really lovely video really very much appreciated 👍 loved all your knitting I thought you had success with dying your wool it all looked so pretty from what your are saying the wool over with you seems to be a lot more expensive than the U.K Helen, if it is at all possible could you include in your video a small piece of knitting showing how you join 2 different colours of wool together thank you take care all the best to you & your family Lin 💖👍🦋

Thank you Linda for your comment. I can try to show you how to change colours when knitting. The Sweet Shop Blanket I change colours all the time, so I will try and show you how I do it, usually I leave the sewing in the ends until the end.

@handcraftedbyhelen19632 ай бұрын
You are so welcome Linda, and thank you for continuing to follow me. I am glad I was able to help with the knitting. No I haven't thought about selling my knitting bags, I know 'Crafty Cleggs', 'Sew Sweet Violet' & 'Sew Rae Me', all have KZbin channels and make project bags and sell them on etsy, they are all based in UK or Scotland, so check them out, they all do beautiful bags, so if you want to shout yourself one, then check them out. I think the postage for over the other side of the world would be quite prohibitive.

@handcraftedbyhelen19633 ай бұрын
Thank you, usually a diamond painting takes about 2-3 months for me if I work on it fairly steadily , but lately I haven't been doing nearly as much, so it will take me probably take a lot longer. They are quite big, that one was about 60cm × 80cm, but you can get smaller ones that don't take as long

Thank you so much Linda for your well wishes with our Grandson. The scarf/ shawl, is that the peach shawl you are meaning? It is actually crocheted, not knitted, I'm afraid with a 3.5 crochet hook.

@handcraftedbyhelen19633 ай бұрын
Lin if it was DK 8ply I would knit with 4.00mm needles and with 4ply/fingering I would knit with 2.5mm or 2.75mm. I would recommend the DK weight and the 4mm needles as that would grow faster and not be so labourious.@@lindaeastment4542
