LOL...do you ever sleep? The gnomes were precious and the pompom gnome was a perfect project for a younger crafter. I literally watched the video twice it was so enjoya le and you had so many gorgeous projects to share. The Paul Klee sweater is so lovely and I can't wait to see you modeling it. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@therapybycraft]

i loved catching up with you, Stephanie! watching your channel always inspires me to pick start making a garment for Sam.. Quote of the episode (that made me laugh out loud): "... it's from a stick in the yard." 🤣

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thank you so much Eunice!! I'm sure Sam would be very helpful in picking out a pattern for you to knit her lol. Take care friend!

[@ndjen]

Hi Stephanie! Love the gnomes - they are so adorable. And the adaptation with the pom pom is so clever! I had to laugh when you mentioned The Day the Crayons Quit because as I was watching I kept having to restart a jar cozy I was crocheting. Definitely had an “I quit!” moment! 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

I’m so glad you enjoyed the gnomes! The crayon quit moment is all too real, haha! 😂 Take care friend!

[@BR54niner]

Stephanie, you are inspiring as always. Thank you for all the ideas. I chuckle while watching you because I can hear Judge Judy saying, “Will you do me a favor? Don’t sing your words.” 😅 I didn’t realize I do it too until I heard her say that. 😂😂😂

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thank you! Good thing Judge Judy doesn't watch my channel then🤣

[@BR54niner]

@ she’s missing out. 😁♥️

[@jayjaychappo]

Loved your episode, your energy and your WIPS! Hello from hot Australia!

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thank you so much! ❤️

[@deekay1641]

Great episode. Thank you. Your daughter's Christmas sweater is so cute. You are so clever, I loved the way you knitted your Mussleburgh Hat, and the colors are beautiful. Your new cast on sweater is amazing!! Can't wait to see it on you. We are also waiting for snow, hope we at least get some for Christmas. It has been a warmer autumn/winter then usual. Take care

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thank you so much!❤️❤️❤️

[@kaywright1978]

Your color choice for the Paul Klee sweater is beautiful.

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thank you so much!❤️

[@mimiywan]

You made my Saturday morning! Love the gnomes, they are adorable. I signed up for 2025 sock club from Farmer's Daughter. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thank you so much for spending some time with me. Yay, so excited for 2025 Sock Squad!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@nicoswanmakes]

Gnomes!! I just pulled out our gnome Christmas book to flip through to find some gnome activities :) Your Paul Klee is so you and is so beautiful.I'm gushing over that one. I appreciate what you say at the beginning. In the overlapping carework circles/communities that I find myself in, we call that "usable time". Everyone has different usable time and by acknowledging that, we can understand eachther better and help eachother better. Ok. Now I gotta go make some gnomes ❤ Cheers to you and your making!

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Excited for your gnome-y activities to come!!! I'm SO EXCITED about my Paul Klee sweater. Thank you!!!! I always appreciate you sharing your perspective - love that take on "usable time" so so much❤️Take care!

[@Tkok_iswatching]

Um, literally the cutest gnomes I’ve seen knitted!!!

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thank you so much!!❤️

[@A_knitters_suitcase]

It's 36 degrees here in Western Australia at the minute! but I still knit with wool! Love your Paul Klee...Can't wait to see it finished. Happy knitting xxx

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

YIKES! That's super hot!! Thank you so much, take care❤️❤️❤️

[@TheMissybae]

That Paul Klee sweater!! Love it!!❤

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thank you so much 😊

[@jasmynepierre9168]

The anthology hat pattern (+cowl pattern) is actually free! It's in the (paid) strange brew book but is also available as a standalone free pattern for download. Delightful podcast, as always. Thanks for sharing your beautiful makes with us!

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thank you for the correction re:anthology - I forgot about that! I'm glad you enjoyed the episode!❤️

[@ronniecitron-fink4078]

Love your Paul Klee. Thanks for all the inspiration!

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thank you so much!❤️

[@elenabeyers2088]

I missed you. I love the gnomes and want to knit some for our ornament exchange. Will see if I have time. I also joined the Farmers Daughter sock squad earlier this year and signed up again for 2025. I love everything you shared. I’ve put the Paul Klee sweater into my favorites. 2025 will be knitting for myself. I have tended to knit and give everything away. I’ve got a lot of lovely patterns to choose from. Have a wonderful Christmas.

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thank you so much! Happy holidays to you too!❤️

[@elenabeyers2088]

Hi Stephanie, ty for the excellent podcast. Loving your gnomes, I'm very into them atm. The bug bit me last year but I'm just getting there now😂 I have decided to make a gnome every December ❤ Much love from Shetland xxx

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Hello in Shetland!!! Thank you so much for spending some time with me. A gnome every December sounds delightful!!! Take care ❤️

[@AlwaysYarnFirst]

I think it's brilliant you put in episode numbers in your Rav project pages, I may need to steal that idea!

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thank you!! Absolutely go ahead! 😊

[@laurielortz7387]

You inspired me to make 2025 my sock knitting year. I’m not a sock knitter! But want to be. For Christmas I ordered myself Farmers Daughter Sock Club. Thank you for the tips, inspiration and recommendations. (I only found you a few months ago so on the weeks you don’t post I catch up on past videos, you’re so talented❣) Right now I’m reading The Berry Pickers by Amanda Peters….not fantasy or YA but you might like it.

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Cheering you on!!!! I’ll look into the book, thanks!

[@sjorchatodman34]

Super hot here in Australia, making festive gingerbread biscuits with the grandies and some op's grandies, then they'll go for a swim, but the air con is on. My oldest grandie goes to a small Montessori school in our semi rural area, so I'm Oma (Dutch for grandmother) to all the kids of the school. I recently purchased the Gnomes of Grimblewood book and finished the November Gnorri makelong, currently enjoying the mystery gnome mal - Gnana's Visit. I love making the gnomes from leftover sock yarn. If this keeps up I might have to attend a Gnomes-anonymous. Thank you for another enjoyable episode, love your channel

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thank you so much for sharing your day! My children are gifting me the Gnomes of Grimblewood book for Christmas! Take care❤️

[@Lulovestoknit]

Love summer Lee socks

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

They’re so fun!

[@LottaSocks]

P Klee sweater colors are gorgeous! Thank you for some good pattern ideas! I prefer drop biscuits (if I have to roll out, too much flour/handling=hockey puck…). I never thought about plunking a biscuit on top of soup/stew! I usually have wide buttered noodles w a stew-style “soup” on top. Did we get spoiled w a very (!!) warm October & November?? I prefer cooler temps vs hot hot (sweaters!!!), but I don’t like to BE cold… Knitting & crocheting on whatever… no real plans! And listening to audiobooks (or podcasts/youtube knitting related). “No PressureKnitting”!!! Happy knitting (crafting)!!

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️

[@katespin99]

Love your podcast this one was especially great. I love seeing all the projects you made for gifts of all this talk of Good Wool by Purl Soho leads me to a question for me. Does it pill a lot? I used some of their Knitting Yarn and although I loved knitting with it, the sweater I made pilled terribly. Would love to know your thoughts before I buy any of this yarn.

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thank you so much! Great question. I haven't had a lot of pilling with Good Wool and I've used it in a lot of garments. I also haven't had a lot of pilling with Knitting Yarn though. Not sure what to tell you!! Sorry!! In comparison, I feel like Purl Soho Widgeon pills A TON - like with first wear there was a lot pilling so I wouldn't use it in a garment again or anything with any friction.

[@joanngrigoli5349]

I am also interested in this yarn and was wondering how soft it was. Did you use a sock yarn on the neck because it’s scratchy? Love your videos btw!

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

@@joanngrigoli5349 I don't find Good Wool very scratchy but merino is definitely softer. It was mostly a color choice reason since Good Wool doesn't have a neon pink! And thank you!

[@FirnMamaMakes]

Love that I got to spend the morning with you before we are off to skate and celebrate with family today. We need a holiday in the snow, my Winter baby is so sad it's been so warm and we've had no real snow. (We agree if it's super cold it needs to be snowy!) 😂 Love seeing all your projects! Gnomes! So dang cute! And oh my gosh your sweater is going to be amazing! Always a joy catching up. ❤❤❤

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

So glad you enjoyed the episode friend! I hope you have a wonderful day with your family, even if it isn’t as snowy as we wish it to be ❄️❤️!!
