Beetlejuice Blanket is finished! // Love in Stitches Episode 252

[@wendyk4183]

Thanks for adding the German based yarny events😊

[@heathertucker7056]

Love that you are learning to spin! I didn’t get on too well with a Nano but now learning on a wheel which I’m loving! Will love to see your progress!

[@gypsyqueencrafts36]

I just love the Salty Days, can’t wait to see it finished. Kent’s blanket is lovely. Hx 💕🧶🧵

[@davonnac2413]

I just got an EEW and am learning to spin too! I can’t wait to see yours. I just finished my first skein and I’m in love!

[@Nancyappert]

Don't know if you are still in Bethlehem but my favorite yarn store is located there - The Knitter's Edge. I like it so much that we drive from New Jersey to buy yarn there.

[@maleja13]

21:17 they are your Baltimore Ravens socks now 😏

[@nicoledoyal8386]

You can get the socks done! I have faith in you friend ❤

[@sharbear1968]

Love Kent’s blanket. I wish more people put notes in their ravelry projects. Especially when using different yarn weights, needle sizes. I probably put too much tho. Your Salty Days is so beautiful. I have the 16th on my calendar God willing. Maybe I can give Toaster my very own ear scratches. Be safe. Enjoy winding down.

[@mendezcher]

The Salty Days sweater is so beautiful! I can’t wait to see it finished!

[@MyParamedicAfterLife]

On the Salty Days Sweater, I stuck with the recommended size 2.5 needle for the bottom hem, and it turned out completely perfect. I can’t even tell that it was so much smaller after I blocked.

[@braceletgoose]

I love vlogmas I’m so excited!!!

[@KarinCreations]

Hi Natalie, The Middle TN Fiber Festival is in Dickson, TN at the fairgrounds. I hadn’t heard about the other fiber festival in Nashville. But will be looking forward to both of them!

[@kristinahill3708]

So glad you're enjoying your time with friends!

[@janetjroberson2581]

Hello from Swansea, Illinois.❤❤❤❤

[@krisvanallen]

lol! I'm lazy I guess! I don't block blankets, ever. And shoot, my socks either. I guess I dont block anything, except maybe shaped shawls.

[@rosimom]

You got a Nano, I have both it and the 6.1 I found the Nano finicky and never use it. The 6.1 is a much better spinner. Have fun.

[@inesw.7024]

Middle TN Fiber Fest is fairly rural in Dickson, TN. Went the past three years and love it!

[@my4kitties]

That is a really good-looking blanket. I love the pattern that it formed.

[@LDSVenus]

Hope you enjoy your spinning! There’s just something about the softness of the fiber (and in my case, I don’t use an electric wheel, so the rhythmic treadling) that is so peaceful, and when you have finished plying, you magically have a skein of yarn!!

[@KnittyNatty]

It's been such a cool experience so far. I can't wait to share more!

[@pammyers1982]

Love the colors of your halloweentown socks!

[@MJay77-u9z]

Beautiful makes, and yarn!!

[@KnittyNatty]

Thank you!

[@flaxline]

Ohhhh the "Kielgeholt Wool Festival" is just straight up cruel to pronounce for non-German speakers. That one gave me a good chuckle, thank you! And thank you to the person that submitted the German events ❤

[@KnittyNatty]

haha happy to provide a laugh! And so sorry for the awful pronunciations!

[@jatraveler1277]

I just finished a sock pairing LUXE mohair from Red Bank, NJ with a self-striping yarn . The socks are yummy cozy. Love your Salty Days sweater, gorgeous .

[@einfach__nora]

Your German pronunciation was good ❤

[@michellekitson5405]

Hi Natalie. Your advent baby crochet blanket is gorgeous. You did a great job with the border. The Salty days sweater isn't taking you long to knit up and is looking great. Up to you with what needle size you decide to use for the ribbing. I would try and see if you can do a few rows and see if you like it. Thankyou for the tip on moving the start of round maker one to the right. I might decide to knit this pattern first instead of the Artic Sweater from the same designer. Enjoy staying with Brianna and Michael. I follow Brianna on her channel. take care

[@almadelagarza-wozniak1380]

Thank you for the tip on round 5 in the second diamond section prefect to move BOR ! Hooray I might make another and will take this tip!

[@Ladeedi73]

💛

[@cottagekeeper1044]

I am so excited about your sock pattern. I think it will be just what I’ve been looking for. I loved your blankets. Thanks so much for sharing and giving advice. It really is helpful.

[@libbybowles]

Veronika's patterns often make that giant jump for the ribbing and I have never understood it. I mean, they don't look all cinched up on her, do they? So I'm with you...I only go down a needle size or maybe two. Trust your instincts. It's looking amazing!

[@handmadeschwan]

I think it strongy has to do with her personal gauge. For me its kind of the same, whenever I do ribbing, i go down to my 2.5 mm needle. No matter what yarn Im using and no matter the needle size I used for the rest of the project. Or else the ribbing is never clean enough for my liking. Its never sinched in too much, either.

[@SarahP_official]

Oh I casted on the Salty Days today!!! I'm going to keep your notes in mind. Thank you!!

[@KnittyNatty]

Hooray!!!

[@pamelaparham5489]

The Middle Tennessee Fiber Fest is in Dickson Tn, not too far from Nashville. I went last year and it was great!! That's awesome they are having a Yarn Fest in Nashville too!

[@KnittyNatty]

Ah that's right!! Thank you!

[@kimohaver6541]

Middle TN Fiber Fest is in Dickson TN at the fair grounds. About an hour west of Nashville

[@KnittyNatty]

Thank you!

[@wendydeckard5072]

I just finished the Salty Days Sweater and I went up a needle size for the bottom rib and I’m really glad I did. It would have been way too tight for me.

[@KnittyNatty]

Thank you! That is good to know!

[@carollee188]

I can’t wait for sockmas and vlogmas

[@KnittyNatty]

me either!!

[@madisonheise]

I am so sad I’m going to miss you and ruby and roses being in Columbus! I live just outside the Columbus area and was waiting for when you guys were here but I just had a baby and am still not feeling up to doing much and don’t want to bring anything germy home to my newborn! I’ll be sending good vibes your way! Hope you enjoy our city

[@KnittyNatty]

Aww I totally understand that! We will miss you! And congratulations!!

[@Whinniesandknits]

I’m very curious how musical WIPs works!

[@kristencarico9804]

The last pair of socks I made for myself I also experimented with a slip stitch pattern but I did that for several rounds around the entire foot. It is nice and snug and is the best fit. I’m curious to hear how your experiment turns out just donn in my it on the bottom. ❤

[@KnittyNatty]

Ooh I didn't think about that! I bet that worked really well!

[@kristencarico9804]

@@KnittyNattyI’ve found that pair of socks doesn’t slip around my foot like some of my other pairs do.

[@cindymswyo]

I’m getting ready to cast on Salty Days also, just waiting for my Ruby and Roses yarn to arrive.

[@KnittyNatty]

Ooh yay!!!

[@cynthiawick216]

Wow, going down 6 or 7 needle sizes for ribbing would be SO much! I know people who go down 2 or 3 needle sizes, but that’s twice as much! Hopefully you won’t need to do so. The blanket looks gorgeous, nice work.

[@ebbaclaesson]

Metric needle sizes often aren’t as many as US ones, so going from 5mm to 3mm is not a big step 🙏🏼

[@cynthiawick216]

@ still, going down by 2mm is at least 4 sizes, which seems a lot

[@ebbaclaesson]

@@cynthiawick216 I can understand that it seems like it but the result looks really nice. 😊

[@annettewiggins2220]

Wouldn't going down that many needle sizes make the sweater puff out over the hem (or the dreaded bubble effect)? I usually prefer a straighter silhouette on my sweaters, so at the most I'll go down 2 needle sizes. Looking forward to Sockmas!

[@debracross2881]

Fun video. If I may ask, how many advents are you doing this year?

[@arianesmith9997]

Please tell me wear you got your cute stitch markers

[@arianesmith9997]

You might want to watch Kika’s tutorial of that sweater or at least her video when she’s wearing it then you can see if you like the way she did it.

[@sandydonaldson2338]

You can do a Musselburgh hat
