Finishing my WIPs from 2024 | PassioKnit Vlog

[@paigeburns3226]

Video challenge idea. Roll a D20/spin a wheel/etc, the number corresponds to one of the cubes in the shelves behind you. You have to pick a yarn from that cube and turn it into a project!

[@elizabuga4337]

love this idea!

[@charlisebar-shai2613]

That's a great idea

[@carefullycrafty8170]

The HORROR on your face when you opened the box 🤣 I seriously thought it was anything but yarn in there

[@pbelle1971]

lol me too! 😂

[@dollyrockz7241]

Joanne telling you to make that baby blanket :D

[@Crafty_loops_creations]

Omg yes

[@kristenb1577]

You could sell the wash cloths as a mystery pair, that way you could use up yarn and not have to worry about taking photos.

[@WhattheBeck]

hear me out: use up your shelf yarn that isnt your "staple" brands then buy some clear cubbies to go inside the cubes, fill with juicy yarn and lily yarn -clear bins will let us still see a colorful background behind you -yarn you dont really use often and has been sitting gets used up -juicy yarn is Off the floor but can be easily dropped into a cubby rather than precariously stacked (since i know you want to avoid restacking your shelves)

[@emmapippinpaddleopsicopolis]

yessss

[@tiffany.hiser.hall007]

Maybe for a video idea since Valentine's is the next holiday and you're doing a drop maybe make Valentine's theme items to sell with January's drop?

[@TheLoveOfYarn]

I would just email joanns and tell them you got the wrong tings, let them send you the right thing or cansel what you did not get and give you the money back? Let them send you a "resend" paper to put on the package and send it back? That is how I use to do ( I do not live in the us but anuway that would be like that everywhere?? ) Love that you are back!! And love your videos always a thumb up! Happy new year!

[@braindrain27]

I‘m confused too. I just saw a video where somebody got his order twice and just kept it. Is this normal?

[@mmabe4000]

Yeah I was confused she didn't mention that. At least she can get what she wanted or her money back

[@AnisaGreen]

@@braindrain27 that happened to me too and I kept it because i already called them and they assured me it wouldn’t be doubled then it was and I saw there could be fees to ship it back so I kept it cause the yarn was already here😅

[@tracitolman927]

I received fabric today that should've been yarn. They refunded my yarn and told me to keep the fabric.

[@jenniferd9043]

Seeing you pull out your crossstitch and say, "oh I know I why stopped... I messed up this little section." Same! I have one that I really need to get back out. 😢😂

[@WorrilessWildflower]

Going on my 3rd year here and I’m so grateful for the “passion” and motivation you’ve given to me in my crochet career ❤️❤️❤️

[@oldmomma56]

Not sure I would say I am discovering my “passion” but I am certainly more comfortable. I have taken to carrying a project with me when we leave home now. I am looking forward to developing a passion for the craft! I think that is happening this year!!

[@bananabreadandcoffee]

As a fellow “birthday after Christmas” human, I threw a fit when my mom would lump gifts together because everyone else gets gifts on their birthday any other time of the year 😂

[@jenniferd9043]

Aww....that sucks. I have two goddaughters that have December/October birthday, so I send them half birthday presents during the summer. I don't think they should have to wait a full year for gifts! Lol

[@irisjakob5221]

My daughter made her little brother a blanket from such yarn. He loved it. As he could walk he dragged his blankie with himself and slept in every corner of our House laying on his blanket. He put his little Fingers through the holes and loved it.

[@Amy-k3n1l]

My nephew was the same with his granny stitch blanket he had it tell her only had the corner at 6 lol

[@DataGirlMakes]

I made a double stranded beanie based on your tutorial for my nephews this year. One of them has really big thick hair so I cast on 64 stitches instead and it worked out perfectly! He was so excited he wore it the rest of the day. He said he never gets beanies that fit

[@GaylaKolb]

Great progress today. Thanks Kelsie for your dedication to us and all your inspiration!

[@DanniesCraftyCreations]

Hey Kelsie! The two wash clothes would be a unique pay but they are very cute together, I would buy the set :)

[@DanniesCraftyCreations]

And sorry I did a reply I couldn't comment for some reason

[@donnabessey136]

I am not able to find an email, to get directly to Kelsie. I see was sent a box of goods, that are not labeled. I want to inform her of a scam , called the “Brushing Scam”. Scammers send things to you , in unlabeled boxes , and such. There is a QR code, to scan. Do not scan that QR code. They will wipe out your bank account. Just wanted to inform her.

[@debbieford57]

I love the market bag with the handles like you did them. The color was perfect and looked like you designed it that way.

[@Magic.Pianist]

40 min video!! You are spoiling us kelsie❣

[@rachaelwhite2805]

Doing cross stitch for years close to 40 years don't worry about it its such a small piece. I really should do some I've neglected it for crochet for a few years.

[@bunnyninjagirl9236]

my husband got me one of your passionknit hoodies for Christmas, it is soo comfy.

[@PassioKnitKelsie]

That is awesome!

[@JoharaNuqui-dejesus]

Congratulations on finishing your first pattern for 2025

[@PassioKnitKelsie]

Thanks!

[@amypetrie6097]

I loved seeing you finish your WIPs. Looking forward to the next year of you. I feel like 10 bags and 10 shirts might be a lot, then again I don't know how long they take you versus the stock you want to make. Thanks for the long one, I'm glad you're back from your break.

[@AbigailPilch]

I love your videos so much thank you so much for consistently posting

[@PassioKnitKelsie]

Thank you for watching them ☺️

[@AbigailPilch]

@ you’re welcome!!

[@DianEnglish56]

Hi, WTG on finishing your WIPs! Your face when you saw the baby blanket yarns and beads. Lol! 🧶🫂

[@mariabermudez5233]

Blanket scarf, great colors,love the bag and hat. Very nice done, like always vest to 😊Thank you for sharing

[@makes-allsorts]

That bag colour is my favourite of all the Lilys you use and the rainbow hat, stunning just like the vlogmas one xx

[@mollyislovely]

I don’t knit and I don’t crochet but I loooove your videos. I basically watch them all lol ❤

[@kaybishop3317]

I was impressed with all you made. Great progress. 🙂

[@icecreamcats5723]

Love you Kelsie thank you so much for just being you❤❤❤

[@the_yarn_boy]

2:00 To be honest, I think the colours of the washcloths work great together! They'd make a great set

[@HookedOnMaddie16]

I love your videos so much Kelsie! I love to watch them while I crochet! I would love to see scrap yarn challenges this year!

[@JolieCrochetbyDominique]

Was thinking of a great video idea. You could take us through the process of taking the picture, then editing it, and how you upload it to your shop. 😊

[@Bee22279]

The kaleidoscope hat is so cute! I like the colors accidentally lining up!

[@CrochetPlushiesMceee]

I love all of your videos Kelsie, thankyou for everything you do❤️

[@PassioKnitKelsie]

Thank you so much for watching them ☺️

[@inanothercastle2623]

Video Idea: keep all labels/cone of the yarn you use for the whole year

[@hookedbyjanice]

Great to see you Kelsie. Another great video

[@brendajohnston7505]

I used your v stitch tutorial to crochet a scarf with some yarn my nephew bought me. Thank you! It worked perfect!

[@elizabethboerner40]

Love the WIPs you finished! I was excited to see your cross stitch project, and yes, it is very time-consuming. I am self-taught and have been cross stitching for over 50 years. I found your channel while I was looking for crochet tutorials, and I'm "hooked" 😅 I haven't crocheted in over 45 years. I only made a 3 strand baby blanket in single crochet with a size Q hook. It was fun to make and my cousin loved it for her baby. Can't wait to see the baby blanket you make! Thanks for all you do. 😘

[@janetnash]

You did great, getting the pattern uploaded and the projects finished ❤

[@OllieBunz]

Oooo!!! You got my favorite Bernat Blanket Yarn colors!! I adore Handsome Guy and the lovely blue. They make great amigurumi plushies. They dont shed nearly as much as other chenille and they are stronger so they dont snap as easily. 💖 Until Zaddycrafts gets more colors, its my main yarn. If they dont want the yarn back, I hope you have fun with them! (And, id be willing to trade for that yarn if you dont want it. 😂)

[@lesliebowles3649]

Different color washcloths are fine - one for each of a couple. Won’t get them mixed up. Eg.-hubby could have black/grey , I would have green.

[@roserenik6375]

I use the Bernat blanket and baby yarn for the baby blankets and a K hook. The new mom's love them for outer blankets and tummy time blankets. They was well on Delicate and low heat. Some I have made are over 9 years old and look as good as the day they were made.

[@katief7047]

Woah.. inception ?? I was listening to you talk about to yarn you’re choosing to finish the bag with, so I looked up to see and it was the exact same one i was using to crochet currently 😂 I love that teal shade so much.

[@haveringrob]

Great job on the pattern. I do love the yarn you are using for the beanie. It is so cheerful.

[@sierrasnode]

Kelsie, for dishcloths I have the best pattern! Chain an even number of stitches (I do 26 with Lily Sugar and Cream and a 5.5 hook), sc in the second chain from the hook, hdc in the next, and alternate sc and hdc across. Repeat that for every row until you have a square. It makes the nicest little stitch pattern, is super simple, and has nice clean edges 😊

[@EllieCrochets]

I missed these vlogs :) Thank you so much for writing the pattern for the beanie! I personally really like patterns so much more than tutorials as well. It’s just easier and quicker honestly. So excited for the drop I will be marking my calendar 😁 Andddd could you please add tassels to the scarf 😩 I feel like it would look great 👌

[@Amy-k3n1l]

My nephew had a granny stitch blanket when he was a baby (well untill it literally fell apart and he only had a little corner when me was 6) he took it everywhere with him he wouldn't sleep with out it lol he never hurt his little fingers in the holes so maybe go for granny if you make a blanket and with your super speedy hands in 2 days it be well finished with a shell trimm lol x

[@luannehovey1546]

Glad you wrote up the pattern for the hat. I have made over a dozen to donate over the past month but like you love having a written pattern. It is memorized but want a piece of paper to make notes on. Heading to Ravelry right now.❤

[@LeahnaCalvin]

I missed you so much😊

[@PassioKnitKelsie]

Welcome back!

[@shenahicks140]

I must the have bought the knit pattern as soon as you posted it! It’s great I hope you put out more.

[@patsyg.399]

I have just bought the pattern, although I have already knitted the hat. Just want to support you because I like your patterns so much Greetings from Germany ❤

[@carefullycrafty8170]

the turtleneck with the vest is perfection

[@samanthan7962]

TL Yarn Crafts has the Daphne baby afghan pattern which turns out so cute!

[@stacytwite3851]

I was in Joanns over Christmas and saw the juicy couture yarn and was like where is Kelsie? Still missing your vlogmas videos everyday! Looking forward to Friday. This has felt like a week of Mondays so I was glad to see your new video at lunch today!

[@akhagee4707]

Quick baby blanket ideas -- Corner to corner pattern. I have one (knit in garter) that is basically a giant version of the "grandma's favorite dishcloth" and single crochet would be basically the same. My other one was a free pattern on a Caron sign at Michael's a coupke years ago. They have it on their website. The main body is *SC, Ch1 in the Ch1Sp* and you'd only need the pattern for the increases and decreases. I also like the two dishcloths as a mystery pair or each separately as "green" or "purple" on the Jan drop. As to your cross stitch oops, unless you plan to enter it in the fair, no one will care.

[@MAG9212]

I have a ton of kids 🤣 I’d make a baby hat or bonnet, diaper cover, and hand mittens 😊 people love those for pictures

[@knittingnana2939]

I agree, i vastly prefer a written pattern. Even though i have made that hat, i am going to buy the written pattern. Thank you for posting it.

[@annbarnes3152]

Love the scarf you made...the colors are beautiful

[@sykojello]

I was randomly looking at knitted hat patterns on Ravelry yesterday and saw your lovely face! Didn't realize it was a new release.

[@Staatsy68]

I really like the solid strap with the print body on the bag. You should do more of those.😊

[@ME-ns3pc]

4:32 YAY!!!! 🎉You did one already! A

[@jackie_tee]

OMG your facial expression with the beads.... 😂😂😂

[@jessicavanderbloomer5652]

Your blanket scarf looks gorgeous love the colors

[@QueenCami]

i would have a blast organizing your yarn stash by color

[@judykhaleck8034]

Praying for the wildfire happening in Southern California. Praying for the people losing their homes to the Southern California wildfire. Praying for the all the fur babies in the Southern California wildfire. 🥺💔🦋😢

[@julypatchouli9719]

The clickedy clacking of the knitting needles sounds so nice. Probably the reason why I still love to knit 🙂

[@0503angel]

I made my daughter a baby blanket and used the recommended hook size, she loves that she can stick her fingers and toes in them when I made her a smaller stitched blanket she got mad she couldn’t do it ☺️

[@Cozyhooks]

I just started my KZbin channel and I’m so nervous,but once day I hope I get to grow just like you did, I love your videos honestly 💗

[@angieisadork]

Hey Kels! My only real resolution is finishing all the WIPs I have. Amazing work as always!!

[@dizzylightyear2427]

Aw idk if you've posted a video about it, but I love your hair!!! I saw one where you said you needed to get it done. But I love the way you have the blonde section by your face!! It looks so good!

[@kylietullos4210]

Omg the granny square vest with the green reminds me of mint chocolate chip ice cream 😍

[@sylviabellie4297]

I actually think that bag looks a lot better with simple straps! It's easier to look at

[@GaylaKolb]

Mindless crochet is the best sometimes!

[@heartandhandcreations1]

@WhattheBeck 22 hours ago hear me out: use up your shelf yarn that isnt your "staple" brands then buy some clear cubbies to go inside the cubes, fill with juicy yarn and lily yarn -clear bins will let us still see a colorful background behind you -yarn you dont really use often and has been sitting gets used up -juicy yarn is Off the floor but can be easily dropped into a cubby rather than precariously stacked (since i know you want to avoid restacking your shelves). kelsie listen to her

[@DesmitskesUnplugged]

As for the wash cloths: in the end, they use up more yarn and are bigger than a bandana. And you sell those apart too. Just let people choose if they want to buy them separately or not? Put them on there!

[@irenezielinski2985]

That box of yarn that you had gotten you could make hair scrunchies out of it. I’ve made some in that brand and it works up really good.

[@AshleeMC_MODx50]

On Christmas, I started your chunky knit beanie for my mom and finished it two days later bc I took breaks and now it’s supposed to snow Friday so she can wear it. 😂

[@christianavance9124]

I think I have a cone of the same cotton yarn from that market bag. I bought it at the thrift shop next door with a cone of the matching blue color. That blue and the orange match my jobs colors and I wanted to make bandanas for my coworkers. The bag looks great!

[@jeniferbanda5981]

Looks like Joann's decided that you really need to make a baby blanket for the baby shower 😂

[@debbieward-crochet]

Welcome back. 😊

[@nasty_bohatyrova]

yay, a new video!! 😍 and i love the wips topic! and i get the "hard to get back to work" thing. take it easy 🫂🧡🧡

[@JensCreativeSpace]

I've made a few baby blankets with Bernat baby blanket yarn. They are so quick to make and come out so soft. There's a pattern that's half double crochet in the back loops only. Comes out really pretty. The baby blanket type versus regular blanket is just the color options.

[@oscarinaandoscar2297]

YASs queen you finish those WIPS

[@juliepeters8118]

Love your vlogs and tutorials. Drop date suggestion of the 28th. Only because of February. When making due dates for myself I like consistency without exceptions. Easier to always remember.

[@The.fantasybug]

Congratz on the stickers🎉

[@danacalkins4618]

I would suggest taking inventory of your tops from last year, and make tops of the size and yarn that you sold the most of

[@cynthiaboyd9596]

I haven’t finished your video yet, but if you want to do the baby blanket and be done before the shower, you could do a corner to corner blanket. Those work up really fast at least in my opinion they do.

[@missyrichert1015]

I like the idea of color ranges. Maybe ask if multi color or solid or mix??

[@quieda3009]

KZbin didn't alert me that you were posting again. I have to go back and watch Mondays upload. Happy New Year.

[@barbaraharris2094]

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU AND CAESAR. May it be a safe and prosperous one. Kelsie your vlogs are such a joy to watch. You are just so interesting. While enjoying one of your Vlogmas, I commented on how much I loved your eyewear. I was curious as to what style they were. I would very much like to own a pair. Not sure if you replied or not, but with so many happening at Christmas I neglected to check the comments.

[@gizmospazz]

It needs to be easily washable... That's exactly what Bernat Blanket Yarn is; it's Machine Washable. Also, the preferred baby blankets are actually the ones that baby fingers can go through; that's the feedback I've received from many mothers anyway. The babies like to put their fingers through the holes to more easily grip the blanket. 🤷‍♀️ It's one of several reasons why continuous granny squares are popular for baby blankets and loveys.

[@Maiscribbles]

Loving the projects! I've made some market bags using the Ahoy color way and I made a few using Aquamarine from Peaches n' Cream for the straps. It doesn't match exactly, but it works in harmony with the sea greens on Ahoy.

[@pandaboy5o]

Me whispering to the bernat baby blanket yarn: it’s ok. It’s ok. No one understands you like I do. You’re a great! 😂

[@CathyZced]

Don’t worry about the direction of the Xs.

[@michelleaicf3795]

You and Cesar should watch The Wire after Sopranos if you haven't already. Bob's Burgers is amazing! Underrated IMO. Thanks for posting ❤

[@Helkafrankeenweenie27]

I'm listening to this as I crochet a filet style baby blanket for my brother and sil baby shower next week 😂 I am using Filet Butterfly Blanket by The Lavendar Chair found on Etsy

[@tan8649]

Happy New Year 2025!🎉

[@karenmayo4558]

Washcloths are nice, either separate or as pair.

[@emilyanne1562]

Bernet said, heres some yarn for your blanket! get cracking. lol but i would perhaps email them and ask where your order is! so funny

[@jessicag1714]

😂 Handsome guy came running to the door!

[@megansrp]

my first cross stitch has the x’s crossing every which way 😅 I wasn’t paying enough attention and was just happy to finally be working on one lmao

[@rayna5595]

My last Joann order came with 3 skeins of lion wool ease re-spun that I didn’t order but also had already received everything from my order🤷🏼‍♀️

[@marcyspieler8668]

The backward cross stitch section is your "signature" on this piece.
