My husband also is a woodworker and he has made me so many wonderful things. His latest fiber related gift was a stand for majacraft rigid heddle loom. I just showed him picture, and of course he had the loom to work with also. He gets me. I am so fortunate.

[@FiberLoveDiary]

Isn't that awesome? I think I'm pretty spoiled that way. Sounds like You're really lucky too.

[@kellyfazekas7831]

Your yarn bowl is just BEAUTIFUL! Kudos to the hubs, great job!

[@FiberLoveDiary]

He is awesome, very talented and creative!

[@jenm4721]

I love making stuff for my loved ones!! The bowl and the scarf are gorgeous!! 😍

[@WistfulCreative]

OMG that poncho is amazing...so are you Trish!

[@FiberLoveDiary]

Thank you so much. The designer has another one I like, so I'm going to hunt for yarn today!

[@janicehuff2217]

I love the yarn bowl. You husband did a great job.

[@FiberLoveDiary]

I think so too! He's awesome!

[@jamiejohnson7390]

That bowl is gorgeous!! Also I agree about social media. I've been limiting my scrolling over the last year or so and I've found that my mental state is so much better and I have so much more creativity to give to the world. Trying to do more living and less looking at everyone else's life.

[@FiberLoveDiary]

Limiting the social media has been good for me. I was scrolling while i shook my head over how much time people spend there. Time to fix my own behavior instead of thinking about what other people are doing. So silly Of me

[@eroff4721]

Love all your fiber art projects. In one section of Portland Airport, there is an art exhibit with lots of fiber craft items.

[@FiberLoveDiary]

That sounds really cool. I hope it helps raise awareness about it being a real art form.

[@KristinMoran]

Love the scarf! The poncho is really cool too - I don't knit (I've tried it but I prefer crochet) but I've done some crochet cable projects. I'm a fan of layering handmade items!

[@FiberLoveDiary]

Thanks! I like crochet too. When I got married the first time, I crocheted and used fabric stiffener to make about 250 snowflakes that I gave away as favors at my wedding. I think that might have crocheted me out for the most part 😜

[@sterp8]

Social media destroys lots of things. Your videos inspire me, so I watch them instead ❤️

[@m.inavalley]

That bowl is absolutely amazing!!!!

[@Gigimamapa5]

The bowl is an art piece, beautiful. I ❤️your 🧣.

[@stephenkropf2087]

Such beautiful projects!! So looking forward to the video on dish towels!!

[@FiberLoveDiary]

Thanks! I hate waiting until the loom is back home but i committed so i gotta do it!

[@annyates2880]

Oh Trish the scarf is just gorgeous! The color is so wonderful on you! One of these days I’m going to take the weaving jump. Lol.

[@FiberLoveDiary]

Thank you so much! I am just working on editing the video of spinning and weaving it. I have been wearing it all the time!

[@moecarpenter2000]

Weaving dish towels is totally something on my want to do list

[@FiberLoveDiary]

I really need a bunch more. I how the video coming up helps!

[@reneeschlick]

Yes yes knit the matching / coordinating mittens. Then you’ll have a complete ensemble 😀

[@FiberLoveDiary]

Yesterday i was plucking up and i felt inspired to get started on mittens. I definitely agree with you!

[@threaded4life70]

I always look for your videos for any new ones I love way ting them your scarf is amazing love that colour and wow on the poncho thats so kool .I've never seen anyhting but great videos ..cant wait for the next ones .✌💚🌻

[@FiberLoveDiary]

Gosh, thank you. That is so nice. I try to forget about the things I want to pick apart as soon as they go live ;) hahahaha

[@chrisgorball3166]

Trish, tell your "best friend" I love the yarn bowl. I am lucky also, my husband has always encouraged me in my arts and crafts. His "art" is woodworking, blacksmithing and other metalwork. I can show him a tiny little picture of what I need for my house or my fiber equipment/crafts and he heads out to his large "man cave" and makes me it. Love all your completed projects in this video. One day I hope to be able to accomplish your cable work. I just started knitting one year ago this month and am finally doing a simple shawlette which has two cable rows (c6f) in it and I am all excited it is turning out nice. It will take me awhile to do cables without holding them. I was having a hard time with the cable holders I had bought trying to knit the stitches, but found just using a large paper clip made it easier. Thanks for sharing all you do.

[@FiberLoveDiary]

It is so lucky isn't it? When other people talk about hiding stuff or not being supported in their hobbies, it kind of bums me out. We all deserve that at home!

[@Nataliamelisandre]

I’m so in love with the wood choices in that bowl. AND the slit is so organic. It totally fits the organic colors of the wood. Beautiful bowl. I’m so impressed. Your scarf came out so cute!

[@FiberLoveDiary]

He's pretty talented.

[@xoxoCHRiiSTiiN3]

I love cables! I’m currently knitting a cabled blanket. It’s massive but I love it!

[@FiberLoveDiary]

I love how Bairn turned out. I keep thinking i need to spin for another. They're so impressive aren't they?

[@vickiegroome3220]

Girl you are a real hoot, and have lots of talent

[@mctron22rd]

There's that thumbs down again? For real shame on that person, for real, Trish is awesome and never boring. It seems someone seems jealous.

[@FiberLoveDiary]

Aww, no worries. I don't stress about it at all.

[@misticati]

Internet is where I see your great video, so that's a pro. Con it's too easy to watch 25 more videos (each one less satisfying) and realize I skipped lunch and its nearly dinner time. Lol

[@FiberLoveDiary]

I do have to bed careful with videos. It's so easy to decide i want to try every new technique and craft i see!

[@sterp8]

I love the yarn bowl!!

[@bonnielundholm5535]

I love the blue scarf.

[@FiberLoveDiary]

Thank you! I was wearing it over the weekend, and decided I better get that video out. hahaha. Not next, but right after the next, I hope.

[@facultysuccesscoach]

I recommend the book, Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of less...it's great as well.

[@FiberLoveDiary]

Oh, I've read it. I think it was right before or after i read Unfu*k Yourself by Gary John Bishop. Maybe it's time for me to hit that one again though ;)

[@fiberbynature]

your husband is so nice!! great video and I encourage you to do what you do no matter what people think.

[@FiberLoveDiary]

I think he's pretty awesome! Thanks. I have to remind myself of that it doesn't matter what people think sometimes!

[@fiberbynature]

@@FiberLoveDiary Ya me too, love this video!!

[@kittynekome4124]

Adorable pets!

[@joelwilliams5634]

It really doesn’t matter if you change something or knit the exact pattern you are an artist. If I could make a perfect copy of the Mona Lisa I still have the artistic ability to paint as long as you don’t call it an original it’s still art

[@FiberLoveDiary]

I can definitely see what you're saying. I've painted copies to learn techniques and also because my composition skills aren't so great. It's always a good learning experience

[@tracie8004]

Love the poncho! I ditched using a cable needle years ago. I totally agree that it speeds up cable knitting. Love your videos Trish.

[@FiberLoveDiary]

Yeah my friend Diana twisted my arm into learning to cable without and she was really right.

[@kristiereed1403]

Lol. Your dogs are so cute

[@FiberLoveDiary]

They run this house 😂😂

[@1235adriana]

Wonderful podcast! I love all that u share with us. U inspire me to learn and do more. My daughter ( the artist) gave me a long conversation about the difference between artist and craft. The short of it is art is not duplicated, one of.

[@FiberLoveDiary]

I guess that's how i think of it too. Her way to say it is much easier to define.

[@FairilyFiberFun]

Trish, you look so amazing today! and that scarf!!! heart eyes.... concerning limiting your time on social media, I had to make that same decision last year. Facebook pretty much took over my life and I had to close my account for a while. It's habit now to only log onto FB once a day or less, and even though I have the app on my phone, I don't stay logged in and I don't get notifications, so no need to constantly check. Other than that, I have instagram and that's it. I spend a LOT of time on IG before getting a new phone, so working on limiting that as well. Again, no notifications has made a huge difference. Keep up the good work! I'm so proud of you and your growth as a person, as a fiber artist, and as a youtuber. Also, I've watched every single one of your videos and I'm trying to figure out which ones are not good... I love them all. Not saying this to make you feel better, I really mean it. All your videos are awesome and I've even gone back and re-watched a bunch of them. I love seeing how you do things and often (always) drool over your batts. You are an inspiration to me and watching your videos helps keep me motivated with my own projects and my channel videos. Thanks for sharing all your crafty/art stuff with us! HUGS!!!

[@FiberLoveDiary]

Aw, thank you so much. I think i am just a lot harder on every little detail than other people are on me. This is why bring a perfectionist can really paralyze me, but putting things out even when i don't feel they are perfect had really helped me. ❤

[@kristiereed1403]

That bowl is awesome. You know it’s deep enough and with the second hook you could use two different skeins in it. Maybe make a slot so that you could put a pull out shelf to separate the skeins. 😃so cool

[@FiberLoveDiary]

We've talked about maybe two skeins for color work. I really like it too!

[@craftyashleyg]

Thanks for another great video! I can’t wait to see your newest toy, especially since I am saving for a new drum carder as well and can’t wait to see what you got and what you think about it.

[@FiberLoveDiary]

It's coming very soon! The whole thing took so long that I had to hunt around to get all the clips together and get the video ready to edit. Being creative sometimes means I'm disorganized too 😂

[@carolnelson831]

Hello, it’s called fiber arts. Not fiber crafts. Awesome yarn bowl. Thank you, you have gotten me on fire again, in my spinning.

[@FiberLoveDiary]

I how you get in front of your wheel or spindle while you're still on fire! If i can inspire anyone, that's the best compliment i ever get.

[@carolnelson831]

Fiber Love Diary lol! Spinning wheel I only have one tho. But it’s a Majacraft. At the time that was the only brand the local sinning teacher was selling. She has since gone out of business. I miss having a local go to place. Now the closest is 75 miles away, in Duluth, MN.

[@whome3530]

Hi Trish 👋 you are so talented and fun! Keep up the good work 👍 Did I miss the link for the cowl? I like that size, too 💕

[@FiberLoveDiary]

I will have to go through the video for the cowl, because I don't remember at all! Oh, my goodness. Getting old is rough! I'll get back to you!

Awww who was the cutie getting comfy on the sofa? Oh wow! Your hubby is so talented...the bowl is lovely, love the different woods 😍 The cowl is absolutely gorgeous as is the poncho. Oh, because of your fab paradise unboxings I've decided to get one 🤗 Is there a code I can use when paying the invoice so you can get acknowledgement?

If you just use the link in the description box, they know you saw it with me ❤. Thank you!

We are artists!!!! Thats what I call me, kinda get offended when i get called a crafter. I just ignore it, its all good.

[@dawnuselto8777]

I'm looking for a starter spinning wheel, I've seen a nano electric spinning wheel as I have neck issues, but I've not been able to find out any information on getting one! Can you help? I wouldn't mind having a regular spinning wheel, but I need some help with finding a decent wheel for a reasonable price, any information you can provide me with would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for your time and help! Have A Blessed Day All!

[@FiberLoveDiary]

Hi Dawn. I thought I had answered previously that I could give you more info if you would email me and describe your limitations and price range, etc. I think each brand has a wheel that would fall into the starter category. I'm not an expert, and I have next to no experience with the nano, so I can't really help you there, but I do think that starting with an electric wheel can be problematic for a lot of people.

[@maryellenmeggs3027]

I disagree. I haven't seen a low quality podcast from you. I have like all you podcasts. If I didn't, I wouldn't keep watching and look forward to your next. I think you are too hard on yourself. You have the courage I don't.

[@FiberLoveDiary]

I'm just really great at pickingMy own work apart like most people. Thank you! You guys are great cheerleaders too!
