Happy December! - Episode 66 | Diary of a Sweater Knitter

[@frankiecoletteobrien1205]

I am glad you are not doing vlogmas but sticking to your regular schedule. I have such a hard time keeping up with the daily podcasts. Thank you!

[@mandyvaughnknits]

I have a very hard time keeping up with vlogmas and end up getting so overwhelmed. It’s just a lot 😅. I really like the weekly schedule for me 🙂

[@josemuylaert3466]

Your daughters' sweater 😍🤩 And your cat-gnomes look adorable, I'm sure your neighbours will be very happy !

[@mandyvaughnknits]

Thank you! I think they were very well received 🙂

[@mariepreimesberger1898]

I love hearing about Ellie and her excitement about cats.

[@mandyvaughnknits]

She does love them, but me too 😅

[@ToriBissell]

I'm so happy to stumble upon your channel.

[@mandyvaughnknits]

Welcome! Thank you for finding me, I am happy that you are here! 🙂

[@sandraquince1970]

Another wonderful episode with gorgeous patterns. Your daughters unicorn jumper is looking good.

[@mandyvaughnknits]

Thank you so much! 🙂

[@melissaemery8686]

Your cat gnomes are so cute and how sweet of you to make them for your neighbor.

[@mandyvaughnknits]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I really appreciate you taking the time to comment 🙂

I love the fade of your daughter's Flax sweater! Gorgeous!

[@mandyvaughnknits]

Thank you, I love how the fade is working up too 🙂

[@vickishaw374]

The fading on your daugter's sweater is so pretty!!

[@mandyvaughnknits]

Thank you so much for your kind words about my daughter's sweater. She's as excited about it as I am 🙂

[@Kc_knits]

Your daughter’s sweater is so beautiful! Love the fade

[@mandyvaughnknits]

It's such a fun yarn to work with! I love how it's working up too 🙂

[@julianedebus7990]

Thank you, Mandy! I love your upbeat podcasts. Best wishes, Juliane.

[@mandyvaughnknits]

Thank you 🙂

[@Sophie-Loves-Yarns]

Your flax is my favourite. I just love the colours 😍

[@mandyvaughnknits]

Thank you, I love it too 🙂

[@heatherstclair5870]

Love the sweater you are wearing. That colorway is beautiful

[@mandyvaughnknits]

It was such a fun colorway to work with! 🙂 The color immediately caught my attention the second that I saw it.

[@Bobbleheadknits]

WooHoo! I won! I'll have to find a pattern that I don't already own and let you know. I hope you are having a good week! Oh, and thank you for the pattern and another great podcast!

[@mandyvaughnknits]

@@Bobbleheadknits Congratulations! 🎊 Just toss me a message when you decide. I hope you guys have an awesome week too! I’m excited to see your vlogmas. I am so far behind on everyone’s vlogmas episodes but always try to catch up on weekends 😅

[@sew_So_beautiful]

Ooo... I want that beaded Cruz sweater pattern! I have just the perfect yarn for it too. As soon as I finish watching you, I'm heading over to revelry for it.

[@mandyvaughnknits]

I hope you enjoy! I thought the beads made for a very elegant sweater 🙂

[@yarnmotivated-joyceswensso9744]

Wonderful episode Mandy. The mosaic squares could be used as part of a crochet sweater. It would be super warm, colorful, and unique.

[@mandyvaughnknits]

This is a great idea. A crochet sweater would be a really creative way to use those squares with multiple colors 🙂

[@belindasbaubles]

I was watching your podcast during lunch yesterday, loving it but I had something funny I wanted to say, got distracted & now I can't remember 😂🙄 just know it was good 😂😂😂

[@mandyvaughnknits]

I’ve been there before 😂 I can't comment on podcasts most of the time after I watch them and have to wait till later. Then I'll completely forget. I will take your word for it 🤣

[@lorainelockwood9359]

The gnomes are adorable! I can’t keep up with all the vlogmas’s! X

[@mandyvaughnknits]

I can't either. I have tried to keep up with a couple of them, but I feel like it's a losing battle 😂

[@lorainelockwood9359]

@ yes looks like all my faves are doing them 😅

[@Amanda.aka.Megan.Shines]

I'm having the same internal struggles of wanting to cast everything on while also juggling advent knitting!

[@mandyvaughnknits]

I just had to restart my advent knitting 😅. I am glad I just started it.

[@sam41198]

Great video Mandy 😊

[@mandyvaughnknits]

Thank you! 🙂

[@melindajackson6374]

Great update

[@mandyvaughnknits]

Thank you! 🙂

[@stephaniebenson2501]

The first Knit ent was 2013.

[@mandyvaughnknits]

Thank you 🙂

[@talitharitter3176]

I always get a little sad in December because we get less traditional podcasts and more vlogs,which aren’t my favourite. So thank you. I wonder if it’s the direction you wrap your yarn when you crochet that makes your stitches shorter. Have you tried switching that up?

[@mandyvaughnknits]

Thank you for your kind comments 🙂 I am definitely going to look at how others wrap yarn on KZbin to see if there’s any difference compared to how I do it. I appreciate the suggestion. If I can figure it out, it will definitely help with crochet garment making 🙂

[@renatasuzuki4894]

i think my first comment might have disappeared, just in case posting again. You could fade with laceweights to use them up😊

[@mandyvaughnknits]

That’s a really cool idea! I hadn’t thought of that! Thank you, I will definitely see if I have any lace weights that will go together 🙂❤️

[@mandyvaughnknits]

I went down a rabbit hole trying to find your missing comment and I haven’t been able to. Nothing is s held for review or marked as spam. I am sorry it disappeared 😭. I am not sure what happened.

@@mandyvaughnknits thank you, no worries, it's a miracle system, so a glitch in the matrix once in a while is par for the course.
