I loved watching this vlog! The style of it was a joy to watch. Also "take the boys out for a W" made me chuckle thinking if they heard the word walk they'd go bananas haha. I can't wait to see all these items in your podcast. Happy holidays Ana

[@brookwillow]

Haha you definitely would’ve seen their heads pop up if I said the W word ☺️ and thank you so much!!

[@margie7063]

[@brookwillow]

Thank you so much! 😃

[@phoenixhulsey2868]

Your pillow is looking so cute! Love the colors. And the dog bone weights are cracking me up 😆

[@brookwillow]

They sure come in handy ☺️

[@trsbrn]

You are always so inspiring ❤ I love this new format!

[@brookwillow]

Thank you so much 🥲

[@christinegiroux8471]

The little houses pillow cover is so cheerful and colorful, and can be used year round! I love how you adapted the blanket pattern to create this! Thanks for doing these videos- especially enjoyable to watch this time of year when we need to take a break from rushing around!

[@brookwillow]

It’s true!! I was just thinking today that I’ll definitely keep it out after the holidays ☺️ and thank you for watching and always being so kind ❤️

[@laineandsimple]

I had a crafting weekend too! Must be the season. Much needed every so often.

[@brookwillow]

Crafting weekends are the best weekends 🥰

[@what-rhi-makes]

Using the dog bones as pattern weights is such a mood 😆 Loved this video!

[@brookwillow]

They are always conveniently within arms reach 😂

[@jeannepien4565]

Happy December! I love seeing all your crafting ideas. You inspire me.

[@brookwillow]

Happy December to you as well 🥰

[@KnitandGrace]

Loved the video Ahna! And the format! It was perfect to have on this morning with my cup of coffee while I picked up and knit a few rounds on the bottom panel of a swatch bag I’m putting together. Wishing you all the coziness this season! ❤ Mia

[@brookwillow]

Aww thank you so much!! I’ve been loving peoples swatch bags! I bet yours is looking very cute 😊

[@QueensYarnBoutique]

Love the little houses on your Safe at Home blanket. Your Carpet Coat is just so stunning. Hello to Marshall and Kevin...oh no I forgot your cats name. Well, hello to her too! LOL I think it starts with a L but idk! 😄

[@brookwillow]

Haha you have a great memory! Her name is Lou ☺️ and they say hi to you!!

[@celestedouville2529]

[@brookwillow]

At the end? 😃 they sure were magical!

[@brookwillow]

Thank you ☺️

[@Bookupied]

I love the colours of your house pillow! Wow!

[@brookwillow]

Thank you! 😃

[@joannemoseley8994]

Hi Anna! All your projects are so beautiful and beautifully crafted. I love the little houses pillow! We are planning to check out the Christmas market in St. Paul this weekend…is that where you went? I hope your legs are recovered…nothing like an easy walk to flush out the soreness 😊.

[@brookwillow]

Ohhh I’ve been wanting to check out the Christmas market there! I went up to a farmers market in St. Croix Falls at Abrahamsons ☺️ it’s very small and quant and nice!

[@MaressaMade]

this was so incredibly relaxing and soul-filling, thank you for this beautiful video!

[@brookwillow]

Oh thank you! I’ve been enjoying your vlogmas videos so far ☺️

[@deborahhendricks1492]

Loved your video!

[@brookwillow]

Thank you! 😃

[@saskia_makes]

I’m always so excited to see that you’ve posted a new video! I really enjoyed this format. I’m a new knitting/sewing youtuber, and it’s so much harder to film/edit than I expected, especially in the winter. I love how naturally your videos flow and how calming they are - all of it feels incredibly authentic and grounded. I also love everything you make - that pillow is going to be absolutely stunning. Happy holidays!

[@brookwillow]

Aww thank you so much!! And I agree filming/editing is a lot of time and work 😅 but also fun! I’ll have to check your channel out 😃

[@jessicav606]

Great video! Loved seeing what all you’re working on and able to accomplish! I’ve been in a bit of a craft slump these days. My brain wants to, but my body says otherwise :) Your pillow is turning out so cute. I really like the mitered corner approach. I wouldn’t have thought of that, but one of those mall details that adds a lot IMO.

[@brookwillow]

Thank you so much!! I hope you get your crafty groove back, but sometimes I think it takes a little bit of time away from it to bring it back ☺️

[@hundredyearhouse]

Love your video as always! The dog bones as pattern weights got me 😂 we have tons of those kicking around and right now the only purpose they serve is something for me to stub my toe on so I may have to take your inspiration and use them like this! Wishing you a cozy start to the festive season ❤

[@brookwillow]

Hahaha I can relate!! One of my dogs leaves them all over the house. And he always gets concerned when I use them as weights but they do work very well ☺️ I hope you have a lovely season as well!
