Your finished projects are beautiful! Love those fingerless gloves! That triangle blanket is intriguing. If you did the first 2 rounds in a black or dark charcoal the triangle would look like stained glass pieces and maybe you wouldn't have to worry too much about colors next to each other. Sounds like you had a wonderful time with T and her family for Christmas! Seems like we have very similar tastes in what podcasters we watch and looking forward to checking out a few you mentioned that I don't know about! Thanks for sharing! Hope all goes well for you both in the move and wishing you all the best in 2025 and your new place. I'm right there with you on those sentiments for the coming year(s). All the best to you both! ♥♥

Hearing you is a hug. Thanks so much for all your support. I hope that the next year isn't rougher - I know I'm a distance away, but if there is anything that I can do, please let me know. Love to you both and good luck with the move. Xx

Lovely W.i.P´s! Oh you are moving, i hope you have a better start at the new place than at this one! No one needs stinky carpets. I wish you both a lovely new year, hoping it is much better than 2024...or at least not as bad as the last years.

That was such a beautiful story that jim shared, thank you . Happy New Year to both of you ❤

Hi you guys!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR ❤ to two of my favorite Love Birds. Great book and podcaster recommendations, of course i think we share maybe like 98% same but I did get some new ones, and thanks for linking me as well. ❤ Take care you guys and hope your move goes well. Cheers xo

Listen I had to rewind so Cake could hear what you said about him and I've never seen him grin ear to ear so hard before so thank y'all. Thank y'all for coming over, we're so happy y'all had a good time and enjoyed the food and please believe I'll send a text for the next event, food or no food! Now that Christmas is over I'll be watching 6888 but to hear Jim talk about the story on the boat,lol.... HILARIOUS! And thank you Jim for what you said to Devon, it hasn't changed him but I saw the look in his face when you were talking. Sometimes others helping us get the adult messages to him helps because he doesn't think we went through the same stuff. Oh and I love Stephanie Plum series....I'm trying to read them all in order but it's taking me a min lol. Great way to end the year and we will claim that 25 is going to be great PERIOD!!!

That was a great tip on how to fix a dropped stitch!

Beautiful makes, and great message at the end. Know that you can always reach out, too. I'm always here. Take care xx

The shawl came out fabulous! Excellent use of well chosen colors.

All those cables. Whew. Makes my brain hurt. Talya in Love is the podcaster you mentioned. She hasn't had anything in 11 months. I hope she's okay.

LOVE the idea of all the beautiful solids with the biege COR wool! It will come out stunning! 😊

Love, love, love your sweater/top! It looks so comfortable, and the color is perfect

So sad about the bleeding on your sweater! I hope the overdying works. Love the pink hearts project!!❤❤❤❤

👓👓👓💙

That pink jumper with the hearts is soo cute! Sad that the red colour in the striped one bled all over the white. Maybe a wash with vinegar can help ( or some colour catching sheets/cloths, don´t know the english word for them).

Glad to have you to watch tonight. Too much hurricane. ❤

Dear Jim, I encourage you to continue working on perfecting your craft 🥰 🎥

Thank you for showing the vendors. I didn’t think you moved as fast as the other video which I had trouble watching.

show us a little slower, you go to fast, i cant see nothing, its turn around in my head hahah

Omg PLEASE slow down and warn possible motion sickness issues . You obviously have never had this occur to you. Sorry couldn't make it passed few minutes

what fabulous yarns shown in both vids so many colours keep taking care, Val xxxxxxx

Thanks for the good wishes. Sorry it's taken so long to watch. Lots of love to you both xx

I love the top you are wearing, it looks like a painting or a fun print...amazing.

I never knitted with bulky weight yarn, but that jumper will be beautiful! I would love a history series. I studied cultur studies and my main subject was history (but more european centered). My "newest interest"(i just heard about it a few years ago), concerning the USA and its history, is the Internment of Japanese Americans. It was shocking to me, (or at least surprising) because people from the US after WWII always kinda boasted that something like Hitler (this was way before Trumpelstilzchen and Magats) would never happen in the good ol´ USA...and then there have been some kind of gulags or concentration camps as well.

Thank you for sharing! I hope to pop in the zoom Sunday!

I got an email recently from Netflix, which I have had for a very long time and it said that they were eliminating the basic plan and that the new plan will cost $15.49 a month. I went on the website and it turned out, the new plan they were offering was one without commercials, but I could purchase a standard plan for $6.99 a month with commercials, which is even less than what I used to pay. So if you got a similar email, look into that. It irritated me that they did not advertise. that there was a lower price.

I was there ! That was a cool building!

Too fast to awe over the yarns, Jim!!

Hi Nana and papa! So awesome to meet you today, and thank you for the little knitting lesson. Excited to try again. Hope to see you at hillsboro buccees again soon. You made my day!

Good to see you both. Sorry you've had such a frustrating time with your projects. As i was watching, i was making the decision to unpick something and redesign it, so you have my sympathy. Take good care xx

I would love you to share ALL the things you want. I just love your hair. All my knitting has been fails recently. At least I knit more after I rip it back 😂.

yes. I would love to hear more about your projects, especially how you adjust -

Hey yall watching while at work because I needed some happiness! Waiting to go home and celebrate Harvess 17th! Cake didn't even tell me about Reba! See ya soon

Yes, Valorie, I would love to hear what you have to say about your knitting process and how the sweater held up over the years. Thanks for sharing the fails, I could feel the frustration of each one.

I had no idea that was a backpack!! I thought it was a tote bag 😂. From here forward you can ALWAYS say my name and where I got it from, that is not an issue for me. If it’s something very personal, I will say so when I give it to you otherwise you have carte blanche to blare my name and details. Great podcast and I think the videos you talked about are a great idea. Many folks who have an interest in specific patterns and also have not done things technically like myself would greatly benefit, thanks.🥰 Love you both ❤❤

Love your Hair cut, and your glasses are so fun! I would love to hear about your older sweaters and what you love about them. Yes details are great ❤

I’d love to see those alternate videos you talked about.

Great seeing you two again! Sorry your knitting has been so frustrating Valorie!

I love the colors of the sweater you are “winging”.. very pretty! Great job!

Your hair looks great!!!

Oh man, I miss you guys so much ❤

Absolutely love your hair!!

Sorry I'm so late watching. I hope that your reworked knitting is proving much less frustrating. Congrats to your winners and take good care xx

Loving your hair!!!❤

Really useful tips - Many thanks from Australia 😊🧶

Heyyy! Oh can you send the hot weather over to us? It's cold still in the UK, we've rubbish weather and lots of rain. I nearly put the heating on last night!! Also loving your Hair do Valorie! You're looking fabulous!

Thank you for the giveaway!💛

I give my sister 2 large ( or equivalent ) Brazil nuts to help her thyroid. She started with 100 mg of meds and now she is down to 75 mg. So, enjoy your Brazil nuts!

Very nice video. So sad that the sweater doesn’t fit properly, but you are not one for needlessly ripping it out so it must of had a bad fit. No sense not to thin back in that case. I’ve done a top for my daughter in the CotLin yarn and liked it very much. It is the blue and white one and I am looking for a simple pattern to finish up the skeins now. The Tolsta tank might do the job.! I am glad that you both are making friends in your new town, nothing worse than not having any one around to call upon during a bad day. Congrats to the winners of those lovely yarns!
