Great to see you! I’m currently working on the Cozy Memories Crochet C2C Blanket, knitting a Beanie and a pair of socks. I haven’t been crafting very much either because we bought a new home and moved in December. The end of last year was hectic and very busy but the best part about the whole move is that I now have a craft room. Retirement and a buying new home in the same year is a blessing. Until next time…Happy Crafting!💜🧶

[@EverydayErin]

That sounds so exciting and exhausting! Hope you are settled in your new home and were able too enjoy the holidays :)

[@giselegallie7893]

Whoot whoot ! Erin is in the building folks!!!!

[@violetjohnson1012]

Thank you! I am glad to be back. Thanks for spending a few minutes with me :)

[@vickieg8791]

I'm crocheting blankets for the Linus project., trying to whittle down my stash.Great to see you, you make such beautiful things!

[@EverydayErin]

We have some big financial goals this year so I am going be leaning heavy on the stash too. 🤞 We can do this, right?

Miss you!! Glad to see you again!!!

[@EverydayErin]

Thanks Emily!

[@sandygrogg1203]

As always, I am amazed at all the projects you have going. I am currently working on a granny square blanket. I’m doing 8 inch squares of bright colors that will be bordered by a white border. It will be very bright and cheerful, and will eventually be used by a child. I am also trying to finish a blanket for my daughter. It’s puzzle yarn, the color maze in a VE, I think. So good to see you again, I’m looking forward to seeing you more often, as in the olden days. Love, Sandy from Cincinnati.

[@EverydayErin]

Sounds like It is going to be beautiful! I have a couple skeins of puzzle yarn I need to dig in to sometime in the near future.

[@vickimontgomery3519]

Happy to see you back. I'm working on socks and shawls. Contemplating starting my first scrappy blanket.

[@EverydayErin]

Thanks! I vote start one. What have you got to lose? I call my scrappy happy my retirement project because I'll be lucky to finish it by that time 😂

[@dianemason3299]

Hi Erin! Great to see you back! Enjoyed seeing what you’re working on. Hope to see another video from you soon! Take care.

[@EverydayErin]

Thanks so much! I am hoping to get back into somewhat of a schedule.

[@paulalatham1266]

Hi it was nice to see you again I can’t wait to see all that you been doing

[@EverydayErin]

Thanks Paula!!! Nice to catch up with long term friends :)

[@jillipepper5353]

Nice to see you back.🙋🏼‍♀️ we’re all still here, I’m just knitting socks and fingerless gloves, nothing fancy, reading /listening to books. Currently a series by Jayne Ann Krentz, I’ve been sick in bed all week so just falling asleep, hitting bookmarks starting over but am on the third of the Trilogy. Loving puzzles by Galison and or Mudpuppy, they sometimes design together👍🏼. The best fun is we have two little kittens who are so sweet and entertaining, I’m loving seeing them. They belong to the grandkids but like to spend time with me when the kids are busy. 🥰🙋🏼‍♀️

[@EverydayErin]

Thanks so much! I hope you are feeling better today :). I do love Galison puzzles but I haven't tried Mudpuppy, I'll have yo check them out :)

[@2Arcticwolves]

Hi Erin, lovely to see you again. I'm crocheting shawls, blankets and knee blankets. Really like the puzzles you have been showing on Instagram. Have a lovely day. :)

[@EverydayErin]

Thanks! Sounds like you are keeping busy :)

[@amysamin]

Seeing the notification for this video made my day! I can only imagine how much work it makes for you, but I love your videos.😊 Right now I am trying to use up scraps by making a toy from a pattern called Watchlings. Next I will start my first crochet amigurumi, a Wobbuffet - wish me luck!

[@EverydayErin]

Okay, I am intrigued. I must look into this pattern ASAP!

[@bigheadike]

It’s so nice to see you again! I’m working on a C2C blanket and reading Bright Young Women.

[@EverydayErin]

Thank you! I actually just got Bright Young Women from the library and cannot wait to start it. How did you like it?

[@bigheadike]

I actually DNF’d it. It was so slow but I was listening to the audiobook so perhaps i should try to read it with my eyes and not my ears. Would love to know what you think of it.

[@beckyshook3526]

I am here glad to see you new insurance has gone high making fixed I come less than fixed so learning how to be more frugal then we keep getting hit with massive storms last one two days ago twelve inches of snow now tonight nine more inches the tomorrow we go into a blizzard till sat then very dangerous wind chill till Tues so hoping to keep power on. This winter I am going to enhance my skills, knitting, weaving, spinning, learning a knitting machine I got at a yard sale, being more frugal

[@EverydayErin]

That's A LOT of snow!!! We had nothing all December but Mother Nature is definitely making up for it in January. YIKES!

[@michelletessier1647]

So nice to see you back. I am currently working on the Sleigh All Day cowl pattern using the handspun advent I have from 2022. This year I'm hoping to work through some of the yarn and embroidery kits I already have.

[@EverydayErin]

Thank you! Just looked up that pattern. PRETTY!!! I bet yours is going to be beautiful!

[@terryminckler7007]

Hello!! Welcome back :) Just doing some stitching on a piece for my son for his birthday.

[@EverydayErin]

Thanks! What are you working on for his birthday?

[@terryminckler7007]

@EverydayErin I'm doing a plague doctor cross stitch piece. Really hoping to get it done! Almost 1/3 of the way done and only have until the 27th to get it completed

[@mandykos]

Good to see you. 🙂

[@ToniH.-cn8uw]

I was thinking about you guys today!! ❤ ❤❤ Sucks when life interrupts the crafting! Heh. Glad everyone is well! I hope that continues through the year! Past my bedtime and the melatonin is kicking in, so I will finish tomorrow lol... 😊

[@EverydayErin]

Thanks Toni! Life is very lifey right now but what are you gonna do, right?

[@PlanHerHappyLife]

[@EverydayErin]

Thank you so much!! Everyone is in good health thank goodness.

[@PlanHerHappyLife]

Glad to hear everyone is recovered and doing well!! So glad to see your videos again!! 😁👍🏻

[@SimplyMaurcrafting]

Hi. You Tube didn’t notify me that you posted a video. Glad I decided to scroll through my list ❤️. I’m working on cutting out fabric pieces for a wall hanging quilt, second sock from Cascade Heritage Prints in colorway Punk, hat, and my Emotional Support Chicken. I’ll stop there.

[@EverydayErin]

I guess you need to hit the notification button 😂

[@saphroney]

Yay!! So happy to see you back!!! I was wondering where you were. It has been a year of chaos for a lot of us I think. I kinda like the idea of monthly goals instead of yearly. I can't keep my neurodivergent brain focused on much more than that, so that may be a better solution to keep me organized. I have sooooo many WIPS. Right now I am a little obsessed with crocheting these little mushrooms, but also working on a couple of blankets. I pulled out my Cozy Memory blanket, as I seem to do at this time every year, and have really been enjoying adding squares to that. As always, there are about 3 pairs of socks on the go as well as a couple of sweaters. Looking forward to seeing you again soon. Hope you and your family are well! Blessed Be.

[@EverydayErin]

The new year always prompts me to work on the scrappy happy too. Funny how that works.!

[@maureenlehman139]

So great to see a video from you. Tiramisu is one of my favorite baby blankets. I loved Lessons in Chemistry! I just finished First Ladies and loved it. I’m working on anything from stash…. Currently trying to work through some dishcloth cotton.

[@EverydayErin]

Thank you! I am reading slowly but loving it. I am stash busting this year too. At least I am trying 😂

[@jennekehersbach7344]

Happy New Year and happy to see you again!!!

[@EverydayErin]

Happy new year!!

[@christinasee5157]

It is so great to see you! I have missed you. Today I am starting a blanket. I am also working on many other things one of them is "Mario The Artistic Rabbit." I love this pattern it is by Jenna Krupar.

[@EverydayErin]

I am going to have to check out that pattern , I am not sure I know it. But I have loved her previous patterns so......

[@kathytincler2446]

Always great to see you whenever you are available. I didn't find it scattered. Right now, I'm finishing up a peach-colored scarf with a few rows of variegated peach/green/gray in between to break it up. I'm a simple crocheter/knitter......scarves, throws, washcloths but this year I am determined to learn to make those cute little plushies. I found a super simple 'whale' pattern here on youtube. Last year I noticed they hit the markets big and are taking off. So hope to enter something fresh, on trend for this years craft fairs. I love your channel, have watched for years following your trials, ups and downs but I think I only made 1/2? comments in all that time (sorry....not to good at regular communication) and I did order a wonderful zipper bag from you years ago (like 6/7? yrs) Thanks for sharing and Happy New Year to you and your dear ones.

[@EverydayErin]

Thanks so much! I am glad I didn't appear as scattered as I felt. I am out of practice!!! Go for the plushies, you can do it!

[@CanadianCrocheter]

So great to see you😁. I have a million sips as well

[@EverydayErin]

The more WIPs the merrier!

[@EmmyRose22a]

Great to see you again! I love seeing everything you're working on. I'm currently working on sleeves for a Campside Cardigan, I've had trouble getting them big enough, but I think I've finally figured it out, decreases are not my friend. For stitching, I'm working in Enchanted Quaker by Luminous Fiber Arts and Salute to Abigail by Blackbird Designs.

[@EverydayErin]

I love the Campside. I haven't knit it yet but I did knit the shawl and love it. You got this!

[@sharnieevans6515]

I saw you posted and said "Its Erin!" outloud at work. I was very happy 😂. I'm making a "what I did today" blanket, its kind of like a temperature blanket but I do a different colour for time with friends and family and stuff. And I'm reading a book called 'The Five' its the life stories of the Jack the Ripper victims its very interesting.

[@EverydayErin]

Awe, thank you! Your blanket sounds like a great concept.

[@miasmom1230]

I did a good job not screaming in the background 🤣

[@EverydayErin]

A+

[@ambiekraftsreads]

Hey Erin. Sorry your life is chaotic, it happens sometimes. All your WIP's are lovely. Not working on anything at the moment. When I have time I will be working on my moms blanket. Only like a few rows in. I will be frogging it and restarting it bigger. My dads been asking for a ripple blanket forever, so need to find a pattern and start on that, too. I'm reading on ebook Back on Blossom Street by Debbie Macomber Blossom Street series #4 and listening on audio to Beaches, Bungalows, and Burglaries by Tonya Kappes #1 in the Campers & Criminals Cozy Mystery I just finished Only Murders in the Building on Hulu there's 3 seasons. I watched Elemental and Disenchanted on Disney+. I liked all 3 and would recommend. Wonderful to see you again. Happy Crafting and God Bless

[@EverydayErin]

Thanks for spending a few minutes with me. The Blossom Street series is GREAT! I hope you enjoy it!

[@Londieshc]

Welcome back, stranger! Love all the projects. I'm secretly wondering how many puzzles you have done since your last video. Lol

[@EverydayErin]

Ok, I did a count and it is somewhere between 15 and 20 puzzles. 😳

[@Londieshc]

@@EverydayErin Wowzer!

[@annmcg9781]

Hi Erin. Nice to have you back. What is the name of the cross stitch hoop that you said is your favorite hoop (in the beginning of the video)? It sounded like Nerd but I’m not finding it online. TIA.

[@EverydayErin]

Thanks Ann! They are Nurge hoops. I mention it in my neck video and show it close up. Well, I tried too any way 😂

[@amyg8911]

Missed your face 🙂

[@EverydayErin]

Awe, thanks 😊

[@christinasee5157]

how do you join the short bits of yarn?

[@EverydayErin]

I am using a magic knot. There are tons of videos on it here on KZbin :)

[@sheripeeples]

It's good to see you back!

[@EverydayErin]

Thank you so much!
