Engineering knits is a place for people who enjoy all kinds of vintage and antique crafts - from sewing to knitting, crochet to embroidery I like to try it all. I definitely have a preference for historical fibre crafts, and it is my dream to one day make an entire outfit from sheep to sweater. I hope you enjoy watching me and my favorite companion, Nutella, struggle through some fascinating projects!

A group of emotional support avians is obviously a cuddle! ;) wishing you all the best 🦆

From one creator to another, I know how hard it can be to keep going when things get tough. Thank you for sharing this heart warming project 💜

I don't know what you're going through, but I do get the "it's okay to not be okay for a while". I hope that you have a lot of love and support around you to help you through this hard time. You have inspired me to pick up knitting when I was going through a not-okay period, and honestly, creating things have helped keep me sane and standing. So lots of love and appreciation and virtual internet support from a friendly virtual internet stranger <3 I hope it will get a little better before soon

When my mom was dying, I was not ok. I still did work, homeschool and A LOT of dr appt with my mom. The family dog was a grey hound we had found at the local shelter. He loved me unconditionally. He did not care if i was crabby, crying, mean, nice, loving..... He would just put his head on my lap and refuse to leave me. I really, really miss him. He died when he was 15ish. We all need something to support us from time to time. Heal. We will love you from afar. ❤️

All the cuddles, none of the poop. Ideal emotional support birds.

Support avian armada is a great name!

[@laurawilliams7782]

Some things just require an emotional support flock. Hope things smooth out for you soon.

As my therapist always likes to remind me: “the only way through it is to feel it!” I am sending you, Nutella, and your new bird friends so much love. Thank you for sharing your projects and snippets of your life!

[@sarahscadden2580]

I cannot put in words how happy your cute little stop-motion segment made me. Thank you for making videos that make me feel connected and not so alone.

[@procrasticrafting]

Mrs. Cuddleduck is a perfectly witty name for your lovely momma duck!

[@jacquelang9261]

Thank you for trusting us with truth rather than faking it. One of the things I love most about your videos is your transparency when you make mistakes. You could edit those out, but, you are too genuine when taking us with you on your fiber journeys to do that.

When I had hard times in my life, I turned to knitting adorable animals. I found that even when things were falling apart and I had no control over it, I COULD control making this toy. And it was cute and everyone I showed them to thought they were cute and it absolutely helped heal me through it all. To this day, I occasionally knit myself an animal just to perk myself up when im down and I need the boost. I hope whatever you're dealing with passes soon. ❤

[@CiaTheVideoStalker]

I'm not okay either.

[@ayemessdee]

The little stop-motion sequences were a particularly cute touch

Whether it’s Tortured Poets Department or Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired and everything in between-level stress, I feel you and will keep you in my prayers.

KZbin showed me an ad for Nutella Biscuits, but they could never compare to the one and only Nutella ❤

[@doreens6601]

I wonder if a group of emotional support animals could be called a "caring". I like "comfort" and "cuddle" that were mentioned earlier too. Take care and hope everything's better soon.

[@shaylavanhal677]

Thank you for being vulnerable while still keeping your own privacy intact. I'm thinking of you in this difficult time! It's amazing how therapeutic making little cute cuddlies can be. All the best to you 🐔🦆

[@kristalburns3490]

I dont know what you are going through but it is ok to not be ok for awhile then work on being ok. Great chicken oh and the ducks so cute!
