So glad it was helpful!

It should make 4

You're right. Thankfully, this soap is so easy that exactness isn't required. I usually just pour some soap in and add some water (more water than soap), and it works out fine. :) Still making this every week (just made some today!) after several years, and still love it.

My children were older when we started using this, so I'm not sure.

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm so glad it was helpful!

Thanks for sharing!

Homemade saves so much money!

I'm so sorry to hear that! I haven’t experienced cracks with my candles, but I’ve received a couple of questions about how to avoid this. I’ve read that in order to avoid cracks, try to let the candle cool more slowly in a warm location. Also, you might try pouring the wax at a slightly cooler temperature (155-160 degrees has been the suggestion I’ve seen). You can also try heating the containers before pouring the beeswax into them (heat in a warm oven). If you want to fill in cracks after they occur, you can melt some beeswax and pour it in the cracks to fill them in (I haven’t tried this myself, I just saw the suggestion on a candle website).

Hello! To increase to 45 stitches, repeat Row 2 until you have 45 stitches on the needle. Row 2 is: k2, yo, k to end of row If it would be more helpful to see the instructions in writing rather than trying to follow the video, you can find those here: www.artfulhomemaking.com/knitted-dishcloths/

Castile soap isn't technically antibacterial. According to the Dr. Bronner's website: "Castile soap is safe for cleaning both the body and home. The soap molecules have one end that bonds to water and another that repels it. When combined with water, the result is that one end attaches to dirt, grime, and grease, effectively removing it from the applied surface. On top of this, soap molecules rupture the membranes of bacteria and viruses, rendering them useless."

I wash mine in hot water and also bleach them. But they don't stay perfectly white. :)

I use a sewing machine.

So glad it was helpful!

I'm so glad it was helpful! I agree, these are so fun to knit and give as handmade gifts.

@@ArtfulHomemaking it’s been extremely helpful. Thank you again.

You're very welcome! Thanks for watching.

You can sub olive oil for the coconut oil.

Hope you enjoy!

You could try putting it in the refrigerator for awhile until it is more solid.

Thanks so much for watching!

According to Brambleberry, "the best temperature to pour is 155-160° F. A rule of thumb is to allow the wax to cool enough to coat the sides of your pouring vessel." I usually don't take the temperature of my beeswax, but I always do when making soy candles.

I don't think it would help with that, unfortunately.

Thank you!

Baking soda is low abrasive and won't scratch your teeth, I've been using natural toothpaste for a while now and I have never been happier with my teeth. You can always grind it down to the consistency that you are happy with.

There are wick stickers and glue dots you can use, made specifically for candlemaking. I haven't tried them, but they might be an option.

Sometimes tunneling occurs because the wrong wick (for the size of the jar) was used. And it can take a bit of trial and error to find the best wick for the container used. My beeswax candles made in jelly jars have a nice burn pool, spreading all the way to the edges. But the ones made in the wide mouth jars don’t burn as fully to the edges because I think they could really use a different/bigger wick. The other (very common) reason for tunneling is that the candle wasn’t allowed to burn long enough. I usually plan to burn my candles for about 3 hours each time they are lit. This is especially important for the first time the candle is lit, as it helps it to burn more successfully after that. Beeswax candles can take a bit of experimentation to get them right!

Yes, you could.

It's 1 lb beeswax and 1/2 cup coconut oil.

Hi Cheryl! If you watch starting at 10:23 , it shows that last stitch on the needle, and you simply pull your needle out of that stitch (keeping the loop that was left), and then follow the instructions for cutting the thread and pulling it through that loop (that last stitch) that was left. This binds off the stitches. Hope that helps!

I haven't personally used it with toddlers.

You can leave out the xylitol.

I'm sorry to hear that! Mine are never perfect, but since they're just dishcloths I don't worry too much about it. I view this as more of a utilitarian pattern.

Mine too! It’s all wonky shaped and like Swiss cheese. But I know why I have extra holes. I got distracted a few times. My issues is the last bind of stitch. Her video cuts out and jumps to her stitch off needle. So I’m stuck with last bind off stitch still on needle lol

@@ArtfulHomemaking how can I send a picture to you

Thank you! I hope you enjoy making them!

You're welcome! I'm sorry to hear that the lace pattern isn't turning out. I'm not sure why that would be, as I haven't experienced that before. So sorry I can't be of more help.
