I love day in the life vlogs because I love a glimpse into somebody else's day to day plus a bit of scenery too .I enjoy the crazy sock lady as well and like the relaxed style of the vlogs

💕😀 xx great vlog Laura. Thanks so much.

[@roseb4988]

Beautiful Vlog Laura, so enjoyed it, many thanks 😊

[@53mags]

Your vlog has been lovely to watch Laura, felt relaxed and happy, and if it's easier for you to edit etc as well, that's a huge bonus for you. I would be very happy to see other vlogs in and among your podcasts, especially in the run up to Christmas, when I am sure you will be busy x

[@rebeccahamon9009]

I loved joining you virtually in your day. You kept me company while I was knitting too! I'm so glad to hear you speak up about mental health and taking the time to take care of ourselves that way. I work as a victim's advocate and I often encourage people to develop these kind of conscious self care routines. It's such a huge part of healing! It's also a huge part of how I handle the emotional burdens of my own life and the ones that come with my career. Keep on knitting!

[@_laurapenrose_]

Wow what amazing work to be doing! It’s a simple thing isn’t it but helps so much, snd I definitely notice when I stop doing it! Thank you for watching! C

[@elizabethm6995]

Favorite part - the excitement of adding tea to the pompom jar.

[@_laurapenrose_]

It’s the little things 😂

I really loved your vlog. It was just nice to walk along with you to the shops and the post office and see the trees and your littlies and your socks. Hope you get them finished. Have a good weekend

[@_laurapenrose_]

Thank you for watching Sandra! And the socks are now blocking woohoo!!!! X

[@_laurapenrose_]

Thank you Mary! So glad you enjoyed it! X

[@The1vali1]

YESSS! Loved the vlog, keep going with them - you’re a natural!

[@fokesingh3500]

You held me company as well Laura! Would love to see your vlog once in a while. No pressure, just make whatever suits you. It is more important which style YOU like. It should make you feel excited to make one and feel like you have company. That way you will keep it interesting for yourself and we will get to watch you! Just being selfish here as you see😉😄

[@emilymiller40]

Vlogs are so fun to watch!

[@MyLovelyLifeAsMe]

This was so lovely, Laura! I love the podcast, but it was so nice spend the day with you. I hope you vlog more often ❤️

[@_laurapenrose_]

Thank you Hannah! X

[@annef.3387]

Just found you and loved your vlog. Thanks for taking me along on your day, your shops are beautiful there and I enjoyed visiting them with you.

[@athertonca]

Generally speaking, I like vlogs better than regular podcasts.

[@sueaxon3688]

Lovely vlog. Nice to see your life + thoughts so a big thankyoy!

[@helenorvana]

It was wonderful to spend time with you - I don't really have fiber friends nearby where I live, so watching vlogs from my favorite KZbin knitters and crocheters is my best substitute. I'd love to see more videos like this 😍

[@FeijaFleur]

Love this type of video! Thank you for taking us all along throughout your day, really fun to watch!

[@weronikar.1994]

Waiting for more vlogs, this one was very nice 👍😁❤️

[@katemccurrach7454]

I really enjoyed this. I've also just started watching your podcasts and I'd like to see you do this again. It took me back to when mine were little. They are late teens now. Thanks for sharing your day.

[@_laurapenrose_]

Thank you so much for watching Kate!! Next up will be another podcast but I’ve definitely got plans for more vlogs as I really enjoyed it! X

[@sylviaeast9444]

Really enjoyed this little vlog Laura, thank you for sharing ☺️ I used to live in Leamington Spa so it was fun seeing the streets again and 100% with you on Berylune 😍😍😍

Well done Laura it was lovely! Like spending time with a friend! You look like you live in a beautiful part of the country x

[@_laurapenrose_]

Thank you loraine, I’m very lucky to have my little village, I never thought I’d be a country bumpkin but I can’t imagine anything else now! 🙈

Love the vlog. You’re a natural. More please. Until the next time. Salam wa sa’aadah

[@kathrynhatton7851]

Loved it Laura! Well done! Hope you enjoy using your pastels tomorrow, they're my favourite art medium. Go for it!

[@Songbead]

So nice to have a peek at your day! I’ve got 2 wee ones as well and it’s lovely to see someone else who balances a creative practice, parenting and life.

[@_laurapenrose_]

So glad you enjoyed it Rebecca! The question I get asked the most is how do I knit with small children 😂😂😂

[@christycampbell1874]

Absolutely loved this! You're so sweet and adorable and it's fun to see your town and day. Def repeat IMHO 😁

[@valeriafaber3415]

I really do enjoy your vlog!

[@susanadams8119]

I'm not usually that keen on vlogs but I loved it! You're so engaging and it was really well-edited. The music fit so well with the different segments, too. I got a real sense of what your days consist of. It's a while since my children were little (the youngest is in his final year of school) and it was lovely to be reminded of those days.

[@_laurapenrose_]

Thank you Susan! And I’m glad my efforts to set the tone with music is appreciated!! Xx

Your vlog was great fun. I was having a bit of a bad few days this week and it cheered me up to spend half an hour knitting in your company.

[@_laurapenrose_]

Thank you Kat, I hope you feel better soon and I’m glad I could bring you some cheer! X

This was such a pleasure to watch! Definitely do more vlogs! 💕

Shut the front door. From the queen herself. Thank you so much for watching and being such a lovely inspiration! Going to go lie down now 😂😂😂

Ok now I’m dead 😂🙈 I really hope you enjoy them!!! I havnt had the courage to go back and watch episode 1 again, it’s probably cringe 😂

[@CrazySockLady]

[@jacquelinewillson4232]

I loved it!!! What a fabulous way to spend time with you and to get to know you even better. You are a natural vlogger and I hope you do it again. I cast on for a cabled sweater while I watched you. I am knitting My Favourite Things Knitwear Sweater No. 15 in a navy blue colour. Have a great week!

[@_laurapenrose_]

Thank you Jacqueline! I haven’t knit anything by my favourite things yet but I’d like to do the cabled vest next year!! Thank you for watching! X

Keep doing the video love them all ...

[@juliamorrisey5541]

What a fun change of pace. I love your podcast with all the knitting content but this was such a fun way to get to know you a little better. I loved the sketch book for your husband. Sort of a creative journal!

[@bethmayo8589]

Really enjoyed the vlog, it’s nice to how you fit knitting into your days too and not just the beautiful instagram side! Ill definitely keep watching if you keep posting :)

[@_laurapenrose_]

Thank you Beth! Xx

[@danielafranchini7890]

This vlog was really really lovely Laura, thanks so letting us into your life like this….I really enjoyed it so much and will welcome very happily all the new episodes you’ll feel like recording but to me this requires focus and dedication and editing time. Just don’t let it take over your creative energies….sorry if I say this, but I mean it as a friend’s advice, really! Xxxx

[@_laurapenrose_]

You are very right Daniela! I really enjoyed making this and it was the right use of my creativity at the time, I look forward to making more but only when it feels right and will bring me joy! Thank you so much for watching! X

[@knittedbywhitney]

This was such a lovely video Laura! I loved getting little snippets of your day, mixed in with chatting and knitting time, and you chose such great music. You’ve clearly put a lot of thought into editing this video, and you seemed so relaxed and comfortable with this style of video. I think I’d like to see some of these blogs peppered among your regular knitting podcasts 😊

[@_laurapenrose_]

Thank you lovely! I really enjoyed editing this and it was a nice change from the podcast, and much quicker to upload 😂😂😂

[@kathykujawa6183]

thank you for sharing your life with us. i loved seeing your house- so open and modern. your hubby is lucky you worry so much about his socks. i am sure even a day late would be ok. i love the idea of you painting en plein aire with him- that would be great. you can always paint/sketch little patterns for colorwork socks and such-- so much in nature for shapes and color combinations. you really make me want to knit socks but i am on a mission with sewing and crochet xmas gifts right now- so i just have to wait. take care of yourself too. i agree about knitting a dress like that. maybe a sleeveless one for summer- i saw lovely halter type dresses i plan to make for my niece in maybe next year in cotton/bamboo yarn...... see!!-- i have to stop planning more projects!! yikes!!!

[@_laurapenrose_]

Thank you Kathy! I hadn’t thought to use my plein aire time to find inspiration for knitting! I love that!!! Thank you so much for watching cx

Loved watching the vlog. It was so nice to see a sneak peek into your day with your family. I really liked it so I say "keep it going."

Thank you so much yasmine! X

[@kathykujawa6183]

also i loved seeing and hearing all the troubles you had with the socks. its one of my favorite things with podcasts- everything always looks easy but then you change up yarns or sizes or needles and everything goes pear shaped. it was good to understand your methods of madness!!!

I thoroughly enjoyed your vlog Laura. What a beautiful home you have. I love your little area with the kettle and toaster where you can close the door!👍🏻Don’t your little ones look all cosy in your their Christmas pyjamas. Aww! My two granddaughters come overnight every Friday ( sisters 5 & 6) I’ve had them since they were about six weeks old and I know they’ve got new Christmas pyjamas tonight and some for Dede ( grandad) too. I’m sure your husband loved his thoughtful gifts!🥰

[@_laurapenrose_]

Thanks Geraldine! When we design the kitchen it was the one thing insisted on having, I love that I can close the door on all the stuff, though I do look forward to the day the shelves aren’t full of kids snacks 😂 I wasn’t intending on putting them in the Christmas pj’s just yet but when they arrived I couldn’t resist!!!

[@geraldineaydin1453]

@@_laurapenrose_ I’m with you on concealing everything. I love clean lines. Let you children enjoy their pyjamas for as long as they can, they’re adorable and it is a time for children.😍 We’re taking our two granddaughters Christmas shopping tomorrow- let the fun begin! 🥰

[@carolinedodsworth6481]

I started knitting myself dishcloths shawl.

[@Julia-lz8vl]

Thanks for your vlog today, it keeps me good company while I'm trying to knit and look after my toddler who refuses to take a nap at the same time as his sister... I have the exact same issue with interchangeable needles, and I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, I always thought it was connected to me being lefthanded and maybe twisting the needle in a funny way or something like that. So it's good to see that I'm not the only one with that problem. ;)

[@Julia-lz8vl]

Me again, the hello sailor sock set looks so lovely, I want to knit them all! ;) But I really should crack on with my wips first, got a Stephen West shawl going and I already bought a kit for his hiberknitalong, haha. But just like you, I'm starting to think about gift knitting. :) Have a nice weekend, the plein air painting sounds exciting!

[@MagdaKnits]

It was so fun to "spend the day" with you! Don't give up on the idea of knitting a dress one day. I'm currently working on a tunic (which I'm going to wear like a dress) and I'm knitting it at a big gauge but in the lightest yarn possible - Katia Concept Cotton-Merino. Despite all the fabric, it's knitting up really quickly and it's going to wear like a cloud. And yaaaaay my parcel is coming! 😃 Have a wonderful time with your husband on his Birthday!

[@_laurapenrose_]

Hehe yes it’s finally on it way! Thank you for being patient!! I’ve just seen the new augustines design and it’s a stunning dress and I’m like…. Yes please 😂
