[@nsfenster]

I have been meaning to tell you how much I LOVE my Dodgy Bag pins. BOTH! I got the Dodgy Dodgy and the fixed, and they are both glorious.

[@juliegreen4714]

Thank you, Ali. It's been a wonderful making week. Hope to see you all soon. Take care.

[@itscarrotsncashews3481]

Thank you so much for answering my question and for the lovely videos this week ❤

[@Juleslovesknitting]

Your vlogs are always welcome and make a dull day brighter - thanks Ali

[@pennyspearing2731]

Love your daily vlogs and I’m playing catch up as I’ve been away for two weeks with no access to KZbin! Lovely to see your mum and well done with the charity amount you’ve raised 😊

[@annephillips3655]

Yes, I learned sock knitting from Winwick Mum, too! Love her instructions and just passed her tip starting on a dpn for cast on to a new sock knitter. Great information. Love watching your videos ❤

[@elena---c1558]

have had a bit of a dovet day, and curling up with the last two of these making vlogs, which I hadn't watched yet, and some knitting has been a bright spot in an otherwise very ordinary day. I loved seeing the hexagons appear, the colours are lovely and it is interesting to see how long it takes to make them and how many you can get out of a mini. I am glad you have been enjoying your ballet exercise class, it sounds lots of fun and I look forward to hearing more about it.

[@juliemccullagh3962]

Hi Ali, would love more making vlogs.. very enjoyable, thank you.💕💕

[@janicemcculloch654]

Thank you for the daily podcasts. You fitted a lot into this last day😂 Great fundraising effort for brain cancer. My son had surgery and radiotherapy for a brain tumour when he was 6 years old. He's now a healthy 40 year old - makes me feel ancient 😂

[@vimalaranggasami5894]

Good morning Ali enjoyed your daily vlogs. I am sorry I don’t comment so often but I do watch all your vlogs and podcasts. I enjoy them immensely thank you so much for your effort. We really appreciate it 🎉❤

[@sallyclark6142]

Really enjoyed your daily vlogs this week, thank you for taking the time to make them 💕 Also, thank you for answering my question and yes, please please please can you record a tutorial of how you hold and tension your yarn when knitting, I would really appreciate it 😊

[@nsfenster]

I have been meaning to tell you how much I LOVE my Dodgy Bag pins. BOTH! I got the Dodgy Dodgy and the fixed, and they are both glorious. Cork for bag tags is really lovely! I use them all the time!

[@marianfairburn8613]

Hi. Loved watching these daily vlogs as I do all your programmes. Amazed at the cast on tip for socks on DPNs. Thank you for that. Can’t wait to try it out! 😊

[@mysonruns]

Love the Q&A! Love learning more about what you love to do!

[@faithburgher1115]

Thank you for the weekly vlogs. I am alway very happy to see a new one pop up. I do wonder how much time this takes out of you days and family time. I guess I don't need to worry about you because you are a grown up and know what you are doing. But thank you for your time. XO

[@jopicklelily]

Just catching up! Have a lovely time with Kelly xx

[@kristinahill3708]

Such a joy to watch

[@karencarswell5724]

Loved the vlogs. More would be gratefully recieved.

[@QuietlyCraftyLindaC]

Love, love, love the daily making vlogs. Thank you! I think you should do those whenever you feel like it. They are so lovely!

[@joyceford1301]

Yes-Yes-Yes - I always enjoy your vlogs!

[@jackyteague6509]

Thank you for taking the time to make these videos Ali. It is much appreciated. Take care.

[@kellyfazekas7831]

Ooooh, you could do stitchmarker tins too with your Little Drops of Wonderful design and Phoebe's tree design!

[@lavendercottagefibrearts]

I've really enjoyed your making vlogs and would love to see more in the future. Your top is so cute!

[@heathertucker7056]

How lovely to have a morning out with your lovely Mum! Glad you enjoyed yourselves! Always interesting to hear other people’s questions. I’ll never tire of watching your videos Ali so any that you are kind enough to make for us , is fine by me! Thank you for this mini series which has been most enjoyable xx

[@juliemansius9921]

Thanks Ali, this was so much fun!

[@EldenwoodCraft]

Very far behind in my KZbin watching but just wanted to say how much I enjoyed this series x

[@stevenr3162]

Hi Ali I've enjoyed your week of daily vlogs and yes, I would love you to do more at some point in the near future if possible. Thankyou for answering my question and well done on raising so much for the charity, that's really great! The hexegons are lovely and I'm looking forward to when they are all put together. Take care and see you soon. Oh yes I nearly forgot, I found a wonderful yarn shop today on a day out. So many beautiful yarns in it I didn't want to leave but with hubby waiting outside, I sadly had to. But I didn't leave without buying something and asking for a phone number😂happy needlework!

[@SewRunKnit]

I’m so happy to see the vlogs whenever they pop up. I also delighted to hear that you are considering making more dodgy bag pins and tags. It will be fun to see your shop expand.

[@katyo3076]

Thank you for these making vlogs ~ it’s always a pleasure to see your face pop up in bonus content 😂 Have really enjoyed them. As a keen ‘would be’ knitter who can crochet, I would love to see a tutorial by you! I have zero confidence in knitting so continental style might just be the thing, and you are a brilliant teacher! And DPNs ~ crikey ~ they just look so complicated to me as a non knitter, but I am determined to make a pair of socks at some point!!! Anyway, thanks again, glad you enjoy making these vlogs as much as we enjoy watching them (reckon we get the better deal tho 😂) will look forward to more in the future! Have a lovely weekend 😊

[@Millie.C]

I just discovered your channel and I enjoyed these making vlogs so much! They gave me such a calm and fun vibe. Looking forward to future videos 😊

[@jayshreeshah6245]

Thank you Ali

[@catherinemitchellmurphy588]

Loved the vlogs Ali hopefully see some more soon x

[@kittykatsknitplace69]

I love knitting my socks on 2 circular needles two at a time,I first learned on DPNs. From very pink knits. Thats for another great update, hi mum

[@janecopeland2306]

Thanks so much for the week of vlogs. I thoroughly enjoy them and would love you to do another series at some point. I am making squares for a Battenberg Blanket (Cherry Heart pattern) and manage to get 3 or 4 done in 30 minutes as well. Looking forward to you exciting news!

[@carolynfowler3133]

Have fun with Kelly and Nick this weekend! 😉

[@paperandtwine]

Lovely, lovely, lovely vlogs 🤗

[@carolyncampbell6149]

Thankyou Ali, I love these vlogs. Hello Ali’s mum! Please, please do the needle keepers, I’ve been looking for nice ones for ages. (No pressure 😅). Take care xx

[@Tinysavers]

Ballet is so good for fitness and core. It can help with joints and balance. There's the Silver Swans programme by the Royal Academy of Dance, it's designed for older ladies, they put out online classes every week during lockdown which I joined in and loved. Some yoga breathing techniques are great for stress relief. I've started to knit a pair of socks as a beginner to knitting socks. I've paused it as I want to complete my outstanding projects. I usually do blankets and preemie hats for my local NICU centre at the hospital. I've tried having different projects embroidery and knitting on the go at once but I've found for me I wasn't completing anything. I've gone back to finishing my projects as I find that works better for me. I go to my local knit and natter group and I've found that has given me some confidence as well as a social event. I would love to learn to crochet but it's a mystery. Good luck to your daughters with their end of school and college work.❤

[@stinkzillaz]

Yes! Dodgy bag fabric tags!

[@nicolawood1066]

Oh more daily vlogs for me Ali. I love them. It always brightens my day to see them.

[@sanna7412]

Thank you for the lovely vlogs - I enjoyed them very much! Seeing you work on your hexies is very tempting. I might take up the hook again after many moons of only knitting 😅

[@yvonnay8904]

Ty for these vlogs, good to see your mom and peek of Dan. Love the hexis 💐👏👏👏

[@lizmerritt8682]

I have very much enjoyed your week of making. Thank you for sharing.

[@joannenardi4234]

Thank you for the week of Vlogs. Anytime you feel like doing them, they will be well received! I feel spoiled having had your April Vlogs, then Gayna and Rachel in May and now this week! What will I watch tomorrow??!!🧐😹

[@kozymom1528]

More, please!

[@sarahwelsh3]

I’ve enjoyed these daily vlogs so much! I am excited to see how you join all your hexagons together. I have a bunch of minis that I want to crochet into a blanket and I am torn between the pattern you are using or a traditional granny square blanket… I may just wait until December when I see you join your blanket 😆

[@pameladawson6648]

Thank you Ali...

[@elaineheisler8584]

Great video as always.

[@marionhandsley7959]

Ali thank you for these daily vlogs of crochet/ knitting. Like yourself I too learnt to knit socks with Winwick Mum and like you I love dpns. Lovely to see your mum, it bought back lovely memories of my mum wearing the same flip up sunglasses over her glasses, made me smile. Love Marion xxx

[@EvieO1950]

I’ll take any daily vlogs anyway you want to do them!! Enjoyed the visits and the creating!! 🤗

[@valeriehowden471]

Thumbs up for more daily vlogs now + then. Thanks for brightening up my day.

[@marygarradharp]

Thank you for a lovely week of making vlogs. I love your hexes. And would love a demonstration of how you knit. Im a crocheter and though I can knit, i get frustrated with how slow i am. Im sure continental would be better for me. I'm looking forward to finding out what your exciting next thing is!

[@sandiking1584]

Always love your vlogs, whenever you have the time to do them is much appreciated x

[@suecoles7824]

I can’t believe Ali the last 7 days have wizzed by! Where does all the time go😮 as you know I will watch anything you decide to vlog , this week was a treat, thank you. I use my knees to wind wool as well, that’s what they were made for 😁 we need a demo now of a sample of ballet workout 😅, hope Dans ok. missing you already, Love & Hugs, Suze. 💗🍄🧶🦞🩰🤗 xxx

[@sherrimcdow2215]

[@helenhorn5562]

[@nautilus5648]

Thank you for your videos! I am excited about the idea of a needle minder.

[@asuka_lee21]

Love these videos ☺️ I would definitely love to see these types of vlogs again 🩵

[@hannahkay1913]

More daily vlogs please x

[@rebeccacorser-wallace9885]

From one Whovian to another thank you for answering my question. My husband and I have said the same about the feel of this session. We love the new Doctor. Thank you for a lovely week of vlogs. X

[@stitchitch7010]

Thanks for the visits this week! Seeing your mom was a bonus ☺️ Has Dan given up on knitting? I'm sure Lilia is too busy to crochet but it will be there when she's ready 🧶

[@browneyedgirlgb1308]

Loved these vlogs. Thank you.

[@chickiemagoo9995]

Hi Ali, I love whatever vlogs you come up with so if you make them I'm sure I'm not alone in saying we'll watch and enjoy them. The only sock knitting method I couldn't get my head around was DPNs, I even bought some and have tried and tried without success. I would love to learn how to use 4 dpns because 5 just kept stabbing me! I also can't get to grips with how to hold the needles properly so I can knit without them getting in my way. Does the next needle sit under or over the working needle.. little things that seem to be glossed over in the tutorials I've tried to follow. If you did a tutorial on this I'd be front and centre watching to see if I can break this camels back! I've been using 2 x 60cm 2.5mm circs as my choice...but its double the cost to use 2 needles for one sock lol... I have lots of empty dpns... 😅😊

[@midge5921]

Thank you Ali😊 I love your vlogs. Have you ever seen the Hidden Spring Farm videos on KZbin? They are delightful.

[@melhartley8376]

Always love your videos and vlogs. How are the new chickens doing?

[@SpookyDolly11]

Oh I’d appreciate a video on continental purling - I currently flick knit.

[@paulamedeiros2477]

Thanks!

[@LittleDropsofWonderful]

Aw thank you so much Paula! 🥰

[@patriciamcmullen]

I love the new Doctor as well. The return to stand alone episodes is great. Although I liked the idea of a female Doctor I just couldn’t get interested in her storylines. Thanks for the Week of vlogs. ❤️

[@TheCannyMagpie]

Have you tried the Addi CraSyTrios needless for sock knitting? Only three needles to handle. It's the only way I knit small circumference now, I have quite a few sets now.

[@katiegerrard1124]

Hi Ali, I have been wanting to start crochet for some years now. What is the best way to get started as a complete beginner? Thanks Katie

[@ericallerton809]

❤❤thanks Ali,,,, Lovely day out with ur mum,,,,, You are in fire,,,, 🔥🔥 ELAINE 🏠💗

[@Tootsie63]

Having an afternoon of Drops 🥰 Could you please tell me who the lady Patty is who made your top, and does she have a KZbin channel? Love your vids, Clare x

[@fleurday9438]

No such thing as too much Alibobs in whatever form it takes !!! x

[@np2175]

Please can you do the "how to" video you mentioned in this vlog...... I am desperate to learn, I tried last year and enrolled in a local group and was hopeless and I felt embarrassed so didn't carry on, although I did join Ravelry and everyone on there is sooo nice

[@wendyluvsbooks1580]

When you showed what you were watching in bed what channel …… I got my pins and a big thank you 😘 I sent you a email ❤ ……..📚💛📚
