Love that pillow hack, Belinda! Beautiful FOs. Looking forward to watching vlogmas.

Thanks so much Nancy

Thank you Belinda! I will be in touch. I agree a mal does tend to keep me engaged in a project. I’ve got a few wips so will join in your next one. Love the tops you’ve made. Hope your wrist is easing up 😘

Sounds great!

You got some great yarns on your travels. The orange hits my ❤ in a special place. The first time I got to pick the color for my bedroom I picked Nasturtium orange. It was a great color to wake up to every morning 😻. Can’t wait to see your Ranunculus in orange…

Aww thanks Norma, orange was never my favorite when I was younger, I was more a lime green & purple kind of girl but now... I can't get enough of oranges ☺️

Hi Belinda Lovely to see your purchases, I have to say you were very restrained, much more than I was at Yarndale. You have some beautiful colours there. I am making a musselburgh at the moment for hubby, his last one is looking a bit tired now. I just do a normal long tail cast on and join the beginning up at the end!! I love your finished items, very well done on the Silver bells top, I couldn't do that lacework. xx

Thank you Dorothy (you need to send me a pic of your Yarndale goodies ☺️) I will try the long tail next time, I just get so frustrated with the pinhole. I actually loved making the Silverbells sweater and really love wearing it. TinCanKnits is so great at holding your hand & helping you learn new things. They are definitely my go to!

You picked up some beautiful yarn. I love the orange. If you decide to do the Ranunculus, ping me if you want company. I have Kare specifically for a Ranunculus. It's a slubby yarn from the Knitting Loft and the color is Electric pink, so we think alike 🤣. I am planning on doing Stripebuster by Amy Gunderson with my Advent while opening. Then later working on an Hoodie Shawl Cardigan with advent leftovers or some other miniskeins. Thank you for your episode, I hope you have a great November! 🙂

I am thinking of doing the Unexpected Turn hat with my scrappy Advent but I am going to wait till I open all of Mandy's to decide on which pattern to use. I am leaning towards 24 Skeins Go Crazy though. I want to cast it & the orange Ranunculus on after Christmas so I can work on them for the Topping Out MAL. I would love for you to join me for the Ranunculus!

@@belindasbaubles I will cast on mine after Christmas as well then 🙂 24 skeins go crazy is a pretty pattern, I love it it!
