Gauge Issues & New Projects! Ep 162, The Cozy Cottage Crochet Podcast

[@jillpohren4801]

I’m so sorry for your loss Hannah, please accept my condolences. I love the British pottery show too - it’s wonderful. Thanks for the tip, I need a nice yarn bowl for my craft space and found beautiful bowls on her Etsy store that’ll work. I think I have the perfect entry for the MAL; I have several ounces of Nutiden unspun yarn from Honer och Eir that I’ve so far lovingly admired and, occasionally, sniffed 😊. I like the Moorland mittens, by Tania Barley, and will use one color way for a pair. Wish me luck!

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

that is so lovely! I hope you love your new yarn bowls 😊😊

[@RubyBaby]

Big hugs for all the things! I will say a prayer of peace and comfort for you and your family 🙏🏽

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

Thank you so much ❤️

[@mercedesdeavila6307]

Beautiful mug - Cup of love - what a perfect name! Sorry for your loss - you're right, we never know what someone is going through. Beautiful makes! Hoping your allergy visit goes well. Hugs!

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

Thank you!

[@lacyhorton890]

This MAL is meant for me!! It’s my time to shine!! I have all fancy special yarns! My crochet hobby led to a hand dyed yarn collection hobby. I buy yarn for special reasons only because I pretty much just save up to buy hand dyed yarn. I’m such a sucker for a special theme so I have all kinds of Halloween yarn or nerdy yarns

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

Yay!! I know you're going to use that yarn to make the most magical things!

[@crazyhawk59]

I love Amy Beth. You, Amy, and Caliesha are podcasters I never miss.

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

Aw that is the nicest thing you could say to me 😭🥰🥰

[@constancekish9733]

Checking up on you. Hope you survived Helene! We had no damage this time in Cape Coral, but due to my Ian PTSD, every storm is a hold-your-breath experience. Courage and strength coming your way from a fellow survivor in paradise. 🤗

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

❤️❤️❤️ Thank you so much for the prayers

[@TheCannyMagpie]

I'm sorry for your loss, that's so young 😞 I love the Pottery Throwdown, I watch it every year, isn't Keith just the sweetest?! My asthma and allergies got so much worse after having my son, I also take a daily antihistamine otherwise my whole body itches. I thought I had developed an allergy to our cat, but he's no longer with us and we've moved to a brand new (just built) house and I still itch if I stop my meds *sigh*. Just listening to you talk about allergies had me sneezing 🤣

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

Keith is the best. I love that show! Ugh, I'm so sorry your allergies got worse after baby. BOO. It's crazy what these kids do to us!

[@wildflower-spirit-creations]

I love your cup! How special. What a steal!

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

Thank you!

[@egoreknits]

Hello! Yes! Every time we move furniture in the living room there are toys and trash all over the floor where the couch sits. I make the kids pick up all the toys and throw away the trash. I always laugh when when one of the kids gets excited about a toy theu haven't seen since it was lost under the couch. 😁

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

lol yes, it's like a brand new toy!

[@keilexandra]

As you were describing the mystery linked stitch and showing it, I kept thinking, it looks like a crochet sweater I made once with linked double trebles (using a regular Clover Amour hook, I don't have Tunisian hooks)... and then you pulled out that book! Brings back memories, I've made both the Luna Sweater and the lacy cardigan on the front cover.

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

I wanted to make that Luna sweater and never got around to it. But I can totally see you wearing that and it looking AMAZING!

[@heidiheld2274]

Hi Hannah, loved this episode! All your projects look beautiful. I love the Wonder Woman shawl. I ordered one of those coffee mugs. They are gorgeous. I’m sorry for the loss of your cousin. Hugs to you. I feel for you for the allergies. I have severe environmental allergies, so I decided to get allergy shots. I’ve been doing it for 6 months and it has helped tremendously. I hope you can find some relief. Have a great week

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

I hope you love the coffee mug!

[@jeanburby6492]

I have some yarn my daughter bought me awhile back and I am going to use it for a shawl for the fancy yarn MAL So sorry to hear about the loss of your cousin! That is so sad!!😢❤🙏

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

Thank you 💜💜

[@melissachapman499]

I immediately went to Thick Bottom Pots as soon as you showed your mugs, I didn't even wait until the end of the podcast. Her pottery is so beautiful! I bought a mug and I told her that I heard about her from you. Can't wait for my mug now. ◡̈ Right now working on my Just Feel Better Shawl for the MAL. Making some progress - I'm on the third color out of four in the pack.

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

It is SO beautiful. I love my mug and have been using it daily! I hope you love yours too 😊

[@jackielubeck]

Busy busy busy; Nice work.

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

Thank you!

Good luck at 1 year dr. appointment for Noah. Dust masks when I vacuum and dust has made life much better. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

I do need to wear a dust mask when cleaning! Definitely

[@jessieford4563]

Hi. Love your projects, wish I could knit. Your work is amazing. I have asthma, and the way you described some of what you're going through sounds very familiar . Blessings to you, your family, and home.

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

Thank you so much! I'm sorry you are dealing with asthma too 😭

[@sunbirdcrochet]

You've inspired me to purchase a handmade mug! :) xx

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

YAY!!

[@soul00theeundead]

Nice to see you. And thanks to you after the 2nd to last video I got excited about the wonder women shael again. I finally crochet one and actually finished fast. I used almost the same colors as pattern crocheted it very fast but I think it's because it was something new in ech section and i tend to do 1 to 2 projects at a time. I am doing the knitted one now which will take me longer. I like taking my time when it come to knitting so I know I will be making more when possible but so far I am finding these patterns might be one of those rare go to patterns.😊 loving the yarn you are making yours in reminds of confetti..

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

How exciting that you made a Wonder Woman shawl! That is so cool 🥳🥳

[@wildflower-spirit-creations]

I knew that stitch looked familiar and I also have that book and studied that Luna sweater. 😊 There are other sweaters in that book that use that type of stitch.

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

I wish I had made the Luna sweater back in the day because then I wouldn't have had an issue with the hat 😅

[@EmmePhillips-HookinEmme]

Still working on my zen cowl and officially started my Landscape last night:)

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

EXCITING!!

[@mauriciataggart3569]

I was able to finish my entry for the MAL! I did a way out west bandana shawl in some gorge green yarn I had been prepared to hoard!

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

that is so exciting!

[@lacyhorton890]

I did start. You inspired me to do a crescent shawl with panels of solid crochet and simple lace mohair, except I’m using suri alpaca. Man! It is impossible to find this pattern without it being made for the schlubby yarn. I am just using fingering weight yarn but like, it does not exist. So because I didn’t want to think about it enough to design it, I am doing the Ingrid shawl with my neon green zombie yarn, my mojito suri alpaca for the lace panels, and a deep slight shimmer accent navy-ish tonal as a contrast for the solid panel section as well. I have had this yarn for a long time because I LOVE zombies, I LOVE green, especially slime greens. And navy is my favorite power color and my favorite neutral. Also, suri alpaca is my favorite fluff yarn and I got this because I wanted to use it for a lace panel work in a shawl. So these yarns felt kind of perfect for the MAL.

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

That sounds absolutely lovely. I can't wait to see it!

[@RicaKramer]

Hey. I just started jojis peeping cowl in some baby lama wool i got in Bolivia some years ago. This will be my fancy yarn mal entry. Have a lovely day

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

That is going to be such a lovely project!

[@jrich797]

In 2014, I crocheted a top that used 8-uple stitches. The pattern was from a designer from somewhere in the north of England or maybe Scotland. Her name was Aiobhe Ni. She did describe the stitch as a linked stitch. I'd never seen that stitch name and I don't think I've ever seen it again. It was interesting to hear that it exists somewhere else.

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

Yes I think that was her name! Linked stitches are very cool. I love the idea of using an 8 stitch, the project would grow so much every row!

[@NataliesCloset]

Hi Hannah...i commented on your last video about the plan for my fancy astrological yarn in both mine & Mr. Boyfriends signs that i will work together in a blanket, likely lapghan, but will have tp find enough contrasting and similar colors in a DK weight, but hopefully I'll get it done by the end of Nov. I'll have to tag you on IG once i find the right pattern. Love all your makes and WOW cant believe Baby Noah is 1 already. Time flies. Thanks for sharing and have a great day!

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

Your blanket is going to be FABULOUS

[@NataliesCloset]

@@TheCozyCottageCrochet thank you.

[@KKemperCheesebrew]

I used to work for a Pulmonologist, Allergy test will not tell you if you have asthma, you would have to have a (PFT) Pulmonary Function Test; just info so you have an idea what would be next. I am so sorry for your families Loss! Prayers for peace and comfort!

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

Good to know, thank you!

[@julielandy9162]

I got asthma at 52. Which was crazy. Air purifiers saved me from house dust. I switch it on before vacuuming and dusting. It was a game chamger for my breathing.

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

I do need to get an air purifier. I used to have one but it eventually broke and I didn't replace it 😭

[@ike41277]

Hope you all are safe, Just talked to my nephew in Largo

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

We are safe and have power, thankfully. It’s been a heck of a week.

[@ike41277]

@@TheCozyCottageCrochet Glad to hear that hope all starts going better for you and your family

[@kellyfazekas7831]

The "you never know all that's going on in a person's life" really hit me when country singer Naomi Judd committed suicide. She always always seemed so happy and positive and upbeat and just a ray of sunshine so when I heard what she'd done I was disbelieving. It really made me look at people differently, not badly, but definitely with more thought.

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

Gosh, yes. I remember that too.

[@glorias3838]

I know what you mean about the trash alongside the bed and sounds like you need to wear a mask more often. Good luck with allergy shots. My son and husband did them for some years to great success.

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

I hope it will be successful for me too! And yes, I definitely need to be more consistent with a mask when cleaning .

[@paulyknit]

I'm knitting the Give me stripes hat by: Shannon Larson Justlivin Designs. Free pattern. I'm still on the brim using a neutral color. I still need to choose 3 colors.

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

That sounds lovely!
