Ep. 93 - 2 Epic Finishes!!

[@msfreshfood1111]

In the olden days, on Fridays, I would rush home from work, pour myself a drink, light a candle, turn off the lights and sink into the X-Files. It was the perfect way to end the work week. And then they moved the X-Files to Sunday. Thanks a lot. Now it’s Friday evening. I flip on KZbin and there’s Chevyrell! So I make myself a drink. I curl up on the couch. I light the fire and I enjoy an episode from the stuff room. It’s a great way to end the week. I haven’t watched your show yet. I’m still making that drink and lighting the fire but I’m about to enjoy 40 minutes and 37 seconds of a good time. Thanks.

[@allsubstance]

I miss so much about how regular TV series used to be. I do not miss how stations would change where and when you could see your favorite show, plus any episodes you missed.

[@chevyrell]

Awww that’s awesome🥹💜 thank you for watching😊 the fire sounds amazing. Perfect scenario for a Friday might if you ask me🔥🍸🛋️📺

[@jennymiles4426]

Great job on your Steek, well done I would not worry about the colour run but think that vest would look great as a cardigan, where the sleeves are knit in just the plain trim colour Love love love your crochet Hexi Cardigan, brilliant colours, money well spent on the Noro in my opinion. Cos as well as getting a stunning garment there’s the enjoyment you get while working on the cardi. I am guilty of spending big on Labienaimee yarn , but wear everything I’ve made with it so often and keep loving it and also love it while I’m making it.

[@geraldinehudson4669]

Hi, don't be too hard on yourself, your waistcoat looks great. Embrace it and wear it for what it is, especially if your heart isn't in redoing the cast off. 😊

[@ShanaH414]

Holy sh&t that roving is amazing. I’m super excited to see what you make with it!

[@MYROCKOROCKO]

So dang pretty……. You an your sweater 🎶😉🎶🎶🙂‍↔️🎶🎶

[@joandewolfe5949]

I CAN’T TELL YOU ENOUGH HOW MUCH I ALWAYS ENJOY YOUR PODCAST: U R PURE JOY😍

[@gonza284]

You could add rows when you connect the granny sides together in the back to give you more width. So even though it’s hitting close to your armpit now, it still needs the center back section to give you space for your neck. I hope this makes sense lol but that yarn is looking AMAZING!! 🤩

[@megmog4877]

even though you have some waves near the top, I think at least on the camera your colors came out really well despite over soaking the Epic vest. You should be proud, that is awesome!

[@TheCreativeObsession]

Now I need to make a Yarmalada and a HexiGranny cardigan! 💜

[@the_dapper_scrapper]

You are a ray of Sunshine, thanks.

[@kbjazzfan]

RE: Daylight Savings Time, I think it's harder now because we "fall back" too late in the year. When we were kids (I think I'm a few years older than you), we fell back in September, closer to the equinox. Now it happens in November. I think that makes a huge difference because we don't fall back until after the days start getting shorter, so it's like the loss of daylight in winter is magnified by the end of DST. Just my hypothesis... Love your podcast!!

[@sherryknowles0811]

Well we keep hearing that DST is going to end & how many years has thing been a thing I know Arizona no longer practices DST...maybe it's a state by state thing...I hate when it is dark so early...for those that work a 4 days week, they leave for work & get home from work in the dark....how depressing is that.

[@msfreshfood1111]

From my POV I saw no sucky FOs. Both the vest and the technicolor dreamcoat are beautiful. True story: if we ever manage to finish a perfect project, the universe will cease to exist. Don’t tell me I’m wrong. That thought keeps me knitting because perfection isn’t in my wheelhouse.

[@msfreshfood1111]

I love Yoro. Your color way is gorgeous.

[@chevyrell]

Yeah, I not really a fan of perfect to be honest💜

[@allsubstance]

"For an attitude adjustment" - for me and you both, Chevy. It has been "a week," to put it mildly. Great to see you! I love your FOs!!!

[@barbmckinlay5108]

I just love both of your projects. Glad your neighbor is okay. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your loved ones.

[@beverleysimmons8080]

Good morning girl love you waistcoat beautiful and i know everything is expensive especially sewing making quilts no one wants to buy them. Been home for awhile with this sinus infection grrrr. He is cute though just working on that granny square blanket join as you go. Almost there. Ho my we had a wind and rain storm last few days no one was going anywhere lol so me cosy as a bear got coffee and crochet the day away lol. Have a great week from Newfoundland Canada i need a hat pretty love it

[@sandras2479]

I love the waistcoat ❤❤❤

[@astridermanis7534]

What a wonderful Friday night treat. Thanks for the lovely visit. Your two finished pieces are beautiful. Sending good juju to your neighbor.

[@Lulovestoknit]

I ❤your podcast and wish I had seen this live bc I would be drinking with you ❤

[@mbohl7149]

I really like the wrap you made with your Halloween advent yarn!!!!

[@hens-n-chicksfiberarts]

Listened to the fleece book on audio. I liked it.

[@Mercedesse.kreativ]

Oh , Chevas! I've been watching you for years...I am Franka from Germany. Years ago you send me sweet greetings❤. What happened to you? You look so amazing right now. I feel your full energy is back..loooove it❤❤❤you are the best!

[@chevyrell]

Franka!!! Hello!!!! I think grieving my dad these last couple years hit me pretty hard. Just now feeling like I might be getting back to myself💜 It’s a new season 🌕

[@justduckyknitter]

OK, I totally went down the Woobles rabbit hole and am 5 Woobles in already (one week) Chevy, I did the same as you and thought why can't I just print the pattern. . . After 3 Woobles I finally saw it starting me in the face, when you first open the pattern when you put in the code, right under the name of the critter you are crocheting, in tiny print, it says "Download Pattern" click and voila, there is that pattern (also very well written). I had such DUH moment and day and laughed at myself for missing it. 😂😂 Grab Yoh Drink!

[@chevyrell]

If I has a 💵 for every duh moment i have😝

[@carolroy5435]

EPIC!!!! Well done you! Bummer about your Voyage. I hate it when colors bleed. 😡 Cast on a Coorie In poncho with my Rhinebeck yarn. Lots of easy-peasy stocking stitch. How did I miss Simply Socks in Fort Wayne??? I showed up in Sarah's video (Fibre Trek) - look for the person wearing the red and gold horse sweater (Dala) hugging Sarah. We had a blast!! And thanks for the bathroom tip - worked out really well in the end 🤣🤣🤣

[@10amTracy]

I feel you on both the weird guilt/pressure of having a stash and buying more yarn, as well as the emotional support yarn stash!😊

[@olgalazar8840]

You are awesome!!! I also have a SALE ( stash above live expectancy ) in my work room. Remember, some people collect stamps ….😅

[@paulastoner499]

Prayers up for your neighbor!! Epic finishes is right. I think your voyage is stunning, tie dye and all. The amount of time and love you put into your yarmalada shows! I imagine your quite glad to have both off the needles. Thank you for another great episode. I enjoyed it.

[@suebigger5097]

Good Evening Chevy🤗 I started watching this last night and I fell asleep. A love your duster🥰. I love your channel, I like your granny square top can’t wait till you have it done. Take care and have a Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🦃

[@Lulovestoknit]

I ❤ your podcast

[@pattigolden1]

LOVE the schlanket!! I think its perfect. I totally get not crocheting anything small because it hurts...heck, any crochet now hurts for me. 😢 Luckily I'm fine with knitting, I don't know what I'd do without my knitting!!

[@karenmezzacapo8763]

Love your hair, and yes, it’s been a devil of a week. I checked them out and haven’t been seeing them everywhere; in fact, I don’t think I’ve seen them since then. It’s probably beanie hat.😊

[@MyPinkBathtub-Diane]

I live in Manitoba, Canada and we observe Daylight Savings time. But not all of Canada does! The province next to me, Saskatchewan, does not! They just keep on keeping on. Might move there...cause yes, it gets harder the older you get!

[@shelleyfry]

Cole looks so impressed. I love it. 💜 And I hope your lovely neighbour is okay. Amazing job on your finished pieces; congratulations on your perseverance. I must admit, if an item has to experience a bleed, it looked really good, almost intentional. At least on my screen… 😬

[@marypanich9880]

Thanks for this video! I had an idea for the peekaboo Hexi cardi - Done in summer cotton and it would make a great coverup for the beach. Cute! That stingray is so adorable!

[@dianam4778]

Re: daylight savings. Ask someone who works nights whether or not Dan is correct. (TLDR: he’s wrong) In spring, at 2AM, it’s suddenly 3am. In the fall, after you have worked an hour, at 2am, it’s suddenly 1am again.

[@susanhebert3299]

Chevy I love both your FO’s are beautiful and in Canada we do the daylight savings too

[@mariakristinahawl1640]

My family in Italy complain about the inconvenience of time change, so daylight savings time is done elsewhere on the planet!

[@soxynanaalice]

Hey sweetie, the W could be Wool, and the C could be Corridale and Pol be Polworth, doesn't really matter, Have a great time spinning it up, felted slippers and thumbed mitts would be terrific! ❤

[@joandomske1593]

Hey good to see ya 😁🌿🍁🍂🌿🦃

[@VisitWithNanaAndPapa]

Always good to see you.

[@YarnStorieswithOlivia]

I was so happy to see you had an episode up. Congratulations on finishing those two pieces and definitely treat yourself to smaller projects. The colors you chose for the hexi cardigan are gorgeous 🤩 Happy Thanksgiving!

[@chevyrell]

Back atcha lady!!!😘

[@sherryknowles0811]

You are so right when you get too much instruction..you usually lose interest....I will say I am not one that ever reads the "directions" to anything unless I get into trouble... they should call them in case of emergency sheets. I think it's my ADD lack of patience, or is it that if I take to long I will forget what I was doing 😂😂

[@debzamot5291]

❤luv ya chev..and Cole is growing up fast! Adorable. Happy holidays to you and yours.

[@PamStout-i3w]

I’m working on Diego the Stingray. At the top of the page that has the list of videos, there is a link to download the pattern. The link is to the right above the picture of the finished wooble.

[@KimberlyAtkins-r7f]

Happy Turkey Day to you too!

[@teresaharp]

Yay the big finishes!😊 I wonder if th PW was for Polworth wool. Purl Together has a great pattern for felted cloggs, might be fun. Actually she has tutorials, not sure if it's her pattern. How much fun, picking a monster face with Cole❤

[@therepublicofme]

You have such beautiful eyes and look very pretty today ❤

[@chevyrell]

Awww thank you 🙈💜😊

[@candygrubisic]

Wow, still weird to see color bleed even if it was overnight. Seeing the Yarmalada finished, it was worth it. Size and not cinched is fine to me. Interesting sock heel. Still love the royal quilting square, the stitch is just so pretty. I don't know why guys wear hats "fisherman's style", but they do. Holy, now those are some big bumps of wool. You can probably narrow it down by staple length and of course, doing the sample like you want. My brain went to Wensleydale & Coopworth lol. Have yourself a good T-day too.

[@chevyrell]

That sock pattern is seriously so cool!!!!

[@lopezmariae621]

Hello Chevyrell, It's always a pleasure to see your podcast! I’ve been in Indiana recently, and while it gets quite cold, it's also beautiful. I have a couple of questions: As a self-taught knitter, what sweater pattern would you recommend for a first project? Also, I’d love to learn colorwork-do you have any easy patterns to suggest?

[@chevyrell]

I’ve not knit it but SO many people say the Flax Sweater by Tin Can Knits is perfect to start out! As for colorwork, not sire a specific pattern, but a coffee cozy would be a nice little project to dip your toe in I think😁 maybe a cowl too! They also have DK and sock weight www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/flax-worsted Something like this? www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/mandolin-mug-mitts www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/milky-way-cowl-2

[@pammyers1982]

Hi, Chevy! 😘😘😘 I would kick Dan in the shin if he said that to me. 😂😂 I bought the pattern book because I am a very experienced crocheter. I also think they are very pricey.

[@Lisa-vb3gn]

They are, but part of the reason for that is they are pre started. That can’t be done by a machine. Machines can’t crochet. So when you consider the labor involved-it makes sense.

[@LaChefication]

I just did the Peanuts Woobles -…the pattern is at the top of the page when you get to the videos. If you look at the photo of the wooble at the very top, there’s a link that says download pattern.

[@chevyrell]

Thank you!!!

[@TrudySchwartzBurrill]

Always fun. Cole is so big, just like my grandson, Noah. Anywho. You are a crazy chick that is so much fun. I have to meet you one day. Perhaps when. I visit my son. He lives in Pittsburgh, PA; it's close to yo7, but not really. But we live to travel and drive. So, coming from Texas, my hubby will figure it out-no clue when just a future hopeful idea. We have tons in common. Tarot and David Bowie are too many to list. But you're on my list of people to meet. I'm an OG who's kept up with your wild and hectic life. I would love Steve Martin if you missed the reference. Am I thinking about getting my grandson a wobble for Xmas? If I help him at 6 years old, he's super intelligent. Do you think that's doable? I won't purchase the fox for him until I hear back. But his middle name is Fox. I will get Gertrude the lama because that used to be my first name, and my mom named me. I've never been called that except by a high school boyfriend who called me Gerd. I'm so glad your neighbor was not taken away in the ambulance that's so scary when we see that in our neighborhood. Your heart sinks. I always love your projects. I think I may have to make the granny things you're making. It's very tempting. Also, I love the long knitted mud length. I guess my mom would call it a duster. I'd call it a hippie throwover. P.S. I've been thinking about starting a KZbin channel. But it might be two-one about my bird and training and showing her to the world. The main ones would be knitting and fiber adventures. But I'm curious about advice. How did you become comfortable being yourself and allow your adorable personality to show through? You have a ton of laughs and fun. What makes your podcasts so fun is your natural ability and your editing skills. What program do you use, and what do you film on? Thanks. Sorry for all the questions. But you're used to my insanity by now, too! Have a great Thanksgiving and all those happy family things. Cheers dear friend, Trudy😂🧶✌️

[@TammyLynn-z7d]

What about making pencil roving w/diz. Then knit a Miles Shirt Jacket by Ozetta. I always have so much fun watching your videos. Take care.

[@chevyrell]

Thanks for the suggestion! Worried that i would spin it to thin if i used a diz🤔

[@TammyLynn-z7d]

@@chevyrell I was thinking more along the lines of unspun. Nutiden type? I think that can be created w/diz? It will be fabulous whatever you do. Can't wait to see. Happy Thanksgiving to you!

[@deborah-k-IN]

I feel your pain on your vest. When you work so hard on something and it does not work out, it is so disappointing.

[@teenera3064]

We don't change the clock where I live... I like it but it would be even better if no one changed

[@marcimakes8936]

Arizona and Hawaii do not observe daylight savings time.

[@chevyrell]

Indiana didn’t just a few years ago either! I grew up changing clocks in Ohio. You should’ve heard the hoosiers bellyache when we started to change😝

[@flosimonsen8162]

You not that old, tell Dan I said so, and its not just you, I hate any time change, we also change the time in Ontario, Canada! What a pain in the ass! Whoever thought of this needss their head read, it's starts to get dark at 4:30 pm here and it seems 10 pm at 6 pm What!,! Lol
