Joural #5 March 24 Podcast vlog of my Crafty adventures Some baby news!

Welcome to my channel. This is my Journal /vlogs of my current crafty adventures. My Name is Helen and I am video journaling my crochet, diamond painting, sewing and other crafty adventures, my garden, my dog and my area where I live in Nelson, New Zealand, and would love you to come along with me. This time without Music, I forgot this part, and because the podcast/vlog is about an hour, and took the best part of a whole day to render, I decided not to go back and add the music and do it all again, so apologies.
The sites I have spoken about in the journal/vlog are below in case you are interested in any:

Hi Helen, Congratulations to the new Mam & Dad & Congratulations to the new grandparents sending love to you all 💞 ……Thank you Helen, for sharing your lovely work very much appreciated Helen, your all pink scarf you are knitting please can your tel me what size M.M needles did you use thank you I have just started to knit again I haven’t done any knitting for at least 40 years so I am starting off with a simple one stitch chunky wool scarf looking forward to next months video love Lin 💖

[@handcraftedbyhelen1963]

Thank you so much Linda for your well wishes with our Grandson. The scarf/ shawl, is that the peach shawl you are meaning? It is actually crocheted, not knitted, I'm afraid with a 3.5 crochet hook.

@@handcraftedbyhelen1963Hi Helen, Thank you so much for reading & answering my query I AM SO SORRY HELEN I GOT IT WRONG ……If you were to knit a scarf 🧣 with ordinary wool not chunky wool what size needles would you use thank you love Lin 💖🦋

[@handcraftedbyhelen1963]

Lin if it was DK 8ply I would knit with 4.00mm needles and with 4ply/fingering I would knit with 2.5mm or 2.75mm. I would recommend the DK weight and the 4mm needles as that would grow faster and not be so labourious.@@lindaeastment4542
