Thanks for sharing what you've been up to. Fantastic blanket, totally fabulous. Those kids looked thrilled with their bears.

[@craftymom7]

Thanks so much Beth, for sharing what u have been up to. You have been very busy, bless your heart. I love the mermaid blanket, the colors are spot on.

[@lyxlyx1303]

Precious Person! Blessed be always!

[@Londieshc]

You always make such great projects. I love the little haul also.

[@swal593868]

The Mother Bear project sounds a fantastic idea. Best wishes to you and your family. Samantha from the UK.

You are the best!😊

Always happy to see one of your videos pop up in my feed.. I was thinking the same thing about the chest. get some fine sandpaper wrap it around a sponge and a light sanding should do you... ALSO in the pet department you might find big bags of cedar shavings they are used for animal bedding usually for rabbits. get that and fill old nylon hose or mesh bags "found at dollar store" and set them in your closets and yarn bags.

I also have a Lane hope chest. My mother bought it in 1964 when my parents were married. It has been closed up for years and years now. When I opened it, wow wee was the smell of cedar strong! Though I like the smell of it, it was a bit too much for my nose to handle. I took everything out of the chest and dumped quite a bit of baking soda in there and closed it. It did help to knock down the cedar smell. I vacuumed the soda out after a few weeks. But, the guy at Walmart was right. Get some good sand paper of a fairly tough grit and go to town on the inside. It helps if you have a small orbital sander. If you don't have one, you can buy one for around 40 bucks. Work your way down to finer and finer grits of sand paper. Vacuum up the dust. If you want cedar wood chips/shavings, go to the pet department and you can often get a bag of cedar bed shavings. You can also put a bunch of baking soda in there, or, if you can find it, get either kitty litter with activated charcoal, or go the aquarium area and get a box of activated charcoal there. Sprinkle any of these in the chest and leave it there for at least a week or so. Remove whatever you put in it. If the mothball smell is still strong, add some more for another week or so. Do any of these methods after you've sanded the chest if it still smells of moth balls. It's good to see you back on KZbin. You've been a busy busy gal! :-)

I'm glad you are doing vlogs!

[@crochetingcanuck]

Love that magaziine rack! Hope to have something like it in my future craft room one day!

[@tsdeakin]

Enjoyed your video and seeing what you were up to. It was great seeing all the different crafts you do. I enjoy many different crafts too.

[@BJ7481]

It is always good seeing you. All of your projects are lovely, especially the ASL Blanket. BJ

[@flowerchildliz9650]

Thank you for sharing your awesome creations and stories ! I really appreciated your Vlog, I honestly didn't want it to end. lol I was working crocheting a beanie with cat ears and was so glad I found this Vlog to listen to while working on it. I'm inspired to make crochet a butterfly like the one behind you, :) thanks again Beth!

[@Bethintx1]

I have the pattern available in my Ravelry store for the Fairy Wings Shawl.

[@beverlyevangerandteddy1769]

i soooooooooo love your videos... please keep em coming

[@jellyacc]

you're looking great Beth, radiant! also, i love that crocheted butterfly in the background

[@jonesbluesandjam]

Very Nice, and the blanket is beautiful!

[@MarnysCrochetandCrafts]

I've already got the blankets planned out that I am making for my niece and nephew, but the mermaid tail and shark fin sounds like a good idea for next year.

[@arkeisha2008]

Thanks

[@sheroamalcrochet973]

Thank you so much

[@hugettewatson2789]

Great idea about the bears I’m going to make some and donate

[@CHICHISWEETS]

Nice projects, especially the bears! I luv your idea for decorating a mailbox. Walmart sells large bags of fragrant cedar shavings in the pets dept.. I wonder if you put the shavings in the chest, if this would rid it of the moth ball fragrance. Maybe, fill pillowcases, or those $1 mesh laundry bags with the shavings for ez removal too.

[@cherylfranks2090]

Thanks for the video it was very interesting

[@nancymarchefka3244]

Hi Beth do you do a regular blog have not seen you in awhile know you moved to new home love all your tutorials are you still on u tube and face book?

[@Bethintx1]

I don't do anything regular! LOL! But I am still on You Tube and Facebook.

[@YarnjoyPodcast]

Hi Beth! Excited to see a new video from you. You said that you ship the mother bears several at a time to fill the flat rate shipping box. Do you have to include the $4 for each bear that you put in the box? For example, $40 for a box of 10 bears.

[@Bethintx1]

It is $3 each. I include a check. You can email Amy (addy is on the website) if you can't afford it. Another option is to get a sponsor.

[@stancexpunks]

So skilled

[@sheepishlysharing]

You did it! You saved the bear! Is there a medical degree for knitters/crocheters??

[@mirandawhite4514]

Where is the pattern for the shawl behind you

[@crystaldragonchick2020]

[@hugettewatson2789]

[@hugettewatson2789]

Bethintx1 thank you so so much

[@hugettewatson2789]

Hi I love ❤️ the butterfly shawl in the background is it knitted or crochet? Can I please have the pattern I love the colors it’s made with. Love to watch your blogs and tutorials thank you 🙏🏾

[@livinginthenorthwoods]

I'm having such a hard time teaching myself. I cannot seem to end my rows evenly. So frustrating as I so enjoy crochet. Any tips? Wish I could sit with someone for a while.

[@Bethintx1]

If you work row by row, with single crochet the edges should be fairly even. Don't forget to chain 1 at the beginning of each row. ...and count your stitches! For double crochet, if you count your turning chain as the first dc, and skip the first stitch, be sure to double crochet in the top of the turning chain. that should even it out. again be sure to count your stitches if it looks wonky.

[@livinginthenorthwoods]

Thank you for taking the time to reply to me. That was sweet😊

[@StephanieMarieSeverson]

Do you have a video and pattern for the butterfly piece behind you. ..it's gorgeous! !!

[@Bethintx1]

The Fairy wing shawl is my deign available on Ravelry. It is my first pattern I am charging for. I do have supplemental videos. The links are on the Ravley page to the videos. It is a challenging pattern. www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/fairy-wings-shawl-2

[@ms.joannab5705]

Hello Beth, I've recently come across a plastic crochet hook by Boye, it is standard length. It says: "BOYE" J SAME AS SIZE 9 USA The finger indent is closer to the throat than normal, it also has a flat throat similar to the Susan Bates hooks, but it is tapered and gets very narrow going up to the tip of the hook, the two outer sides are flat. I don't know if I can or not but I am going to upload a picture, I'd like help identifying this hook, I would like to buy a set of different sizes if possible. For some crazy reason when I tried it out, my tension was better lol. I thought that it may have been a modified hook that someone made, but the glossy finish is consistent on the hook. Any help is greatly appreciated. 😊

[@roz.russell8122]

Just love watching you crochet and I have learnt so much from you, what do you do with all your crochet, do you sell it?

[@merljohnson4695]

[@favorexner3049]

Hi, just heard of you on Bobwilson 123. Do u a crochet tutorial for the beautiful butterfly behind u, looks like a shawl or throw? thx

[@Bethintx1]

I have no tutorial on this shawl. The pattern is available for sale in my Ravelry store. It is an intermediate pattern.

[@rosaaguadogutierrez5603]

muy bonito te entiendo aunque no hablo el idioma

[@beverlyevangerandteddy1769]

do you ever do any clothes for plus sizes?

[@Bethintx1]

I as a general rule do not do videos for clothing. Even within the plus range people are too many shapes and sizes! I already get questions about the afghan patterns on how to make them different sizes. It would be more difficult for clothing!
