Love the prayer board in the corner. Great idea

Thank you! It’s Mainly just photos and mass cards. Lots of family and crochet mixed in too!

Hello Karen, your shawl is looking great. Some questions I have about fibers 1-is there a difference between linen and cotton mixes? When you design your shawl, does the design dictates your yarn choices or the yarn choices dictates your design? Can you please also explain how ply in yarn affect finish product? Thank you

[@KarenWhooleyDesigns]

Marie these are great questions! I will be sure to answer them!!

[@SharonCodyCowgirlCreations]

Have you worked with rambouilett yarn? I am curious how it compares to non- superwash merino? Softness, wearability, care? Thanks!

[@KarenWhooleyDesigns]

I have worked with it a little. I had 100% non super wash that I tried. It was squishy and plump fingering with wonderful stitch definition but it was better for knitting than crochet IMHO due to how much crimp it had.

Love watching your videos but I sure struggle with the volume even with my computer volume turned up all the way. I know you must be soft spoken but even with earbuds it is hard to hear you. Not sure if it is your microphone volume or the editing.

[@KarenWhooleyDesigns]

Wow! Being Italian I have never been told I am soft spoken! I don’t edit the volume at all. I fact I tend to increase it because I wear hearing aids. Is it all my videos or just some??

[@francesf527]

Most. I have to have it on full noise. And I have exceptional good hearing

[@SharonCodyCowgirlCreations]

@@KarenWhooleyDesigns It is on most of your videos unfortunately. I recently had my hearing checked too so I don't think it is me. I have tried the computer speakers, via my Echo speaker, and earbuds. Just thought I would mention it.

I jave tried it on all of our devices here and it seems to be sounding fine and it can even be too loud without my hearing aids if I turn it up. My husband can hear it fine on his work computers too I will do some checking next week when I’m recording but right now it seems to not be a problem on my end.
