Loved this video. It's everything I am interested in. Yes, I always look for crafting supplies at thrift stores. I'll be checking out previous videos you've put out.

[@bayareaknitter]

Awww thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed this video! And yes! Thrift stores are the best! You never know what you’re going to find! 💞

[@Kera.S.]

I'm currently knitting an ESC for my daughter, who's 22yo & she is so excited to get it!

[@bayareaknitter]

That’s awesome! My daughter is 20 and my son is 18, and they both love theirs! I had to ship theirs off to them at college!

[@TheWhitmore6]

Welcome to Henderson! I love your chicken. I just finished my 3rd.

[@bayareaknitter]

Awww thank you for the warm welcome! 💕🙏 Yes these chickens seem to be taking over the knitting world right now! 🐔😅🧶

[@wnygrl585]

I like your chicken. I would call the blue turquoise. I just finished my very first ESC. On to my second one. My GF gave me a dish cloth she made and couldn’t bring myself to use it as its too pretty. Ill need to ck our thrift stores for yarn next time I stop. News this morning says Vegas 112F. 🔥

[@bayareaknitter]

Congrats on your first ESC! They can be very addicting! And I too have trouble actually using the dishcloths I make sometimes because they’re too pretty! 😅 They make nice washcloths for the face too though! And yes! We’re going through an extreme heatwave over here. It’s been years since I’ve felt anything like it since I recently moved here from Santa Cruz. It never gets very hot there. Maybe 90 two days out of the year and 70s the rest of the time. So I’m feeling it. 🥵🔥

[@user-dp3iu3hz7u]

Love the chicken! I have a pattern for one but I haven’t made it yet. I’m currently working on the Butterfly shawl by Marin Melchior. Love it. Would highly recommend!

[@bayareaknitter]

@@user-dp3iu3hz7u thank you! These chickens can be quite addicting! And I'll have to look up the Butterfly shawl! It sounds beautiful! 🦋

[@Tinas_Workshop]

I just uploaded my video of my first emotional support chicken. They are so stinkin cute I know I will do more too. My son walked in while I was watching the video when you made your daughters, he liked the 2 color eyes and even gave me the technical term for it 😅.

[@bayareaknitter]

Yay! That’s awesome! I’ll have to check out your video when I get back home next week! I’m on a roadtrip to pick up my daughter from college right now! So my next episode will be filmed partially on the road. RV style! 😅 …and that’s so cool that your son knew the technical term for the eyes! 😅👍

[@wnygrl585]

Whats the technical term for two colored eyes?

[@bayareaknitter]

@@wnygrl585 it’s called Heterochromia. I just met the prettiest Australian Shepherd the other day at the park, and she had one blue and one brown eye!

[@wnygrl585]

LOL. When you said technical I was thinking in knitting terms but am familiar with animals. My friend on FB just lost her beautiful dog who had one blue and one brown eye. He looks a bit like a collie but was black and white.

[@bayareaknitter]

@@wnygrl585 awww I'm sorry to hear that your friend lost her fur baby. 😢

[@karenbochinski]

Finished 2 chickens

[@bayareaknitter]

Yay!!! That’s awesome! They can be quite addicting! They can quickly become a whole flock! 😅 🐔 💕

[@valeriemoorcroft6838]

I'm so glad to have found your channel. I'm enjoying catching up with your previous videos. I absolutely love your emotional chickens. I will have to buy the pattern. Thank you 🐔 🐥

[@bayareaknitter]

Awww you’re so sweet! And I’m so glad you found me!!! I hope you enjoy my previous videos. I recently moved, so you’ll notice a huge change in scenery, from the coast to the desert! 🌊🌵💕💖

[@valeriemoorcroft6838]

@@bayareaknitter yes I knew you'd moved. Very different to where we live in the country in the U.K.

[@bayareaknitter]

@@valeriemoorcroft6838 ohhh I love the UK countryside! I visited England, Scotland and Wales years ago. I’ve actually been to Scotland twice. I really loved it! My ancestors are from the UK. 🥰💕

[@valeriemoorcroft6838]

@bayareaknitter we live in Yorkshire and love living here. We regularly go on holiday to Scotland it's our favourite place to visit. My husband's birthday is this month we are going up to Argyll and Bute for a few days. Lovely chatting to you. I will keep watching.

[@bayareaknitter]

@@valeriemoorcroft6838 Sounds lovely!!! Happy birthday to your husband! 🎂 I hope you have a wonderful vacation! 💕💖

@@wnygrl585 thank you!!! Btw I thought I had responded to your comment, but maybe it disappeared? Did you finish your 2nd emotional support chicken? And Vegas has been even hotter since I posted this video. We reached 124 during a record breaking heatwave recently. I'm so ready for fall! 🍂🍁

[@wnygrl585]

@@bayareaknitter yes finished second, now finishing up #5. Red and white like the Polish flag.🇵🇱

[@bayareaknitter]

@@wnygrl585 oh wow! That’s amazing! I had a feeling you might have done more than 2 by now! 😅 I’ve completed 4 in total!

[@wnygrl585]

@@bayareaknitter they are addictive. Ive never had a project where it has done that. Ill be planning #6 but not right now cause its taken up all my time making them. Haven’t been on social media or my WWF game. And housework has taken a hit too 😱

[@bayareaknitter]

@@wnygrl585 lol I can totally relate! But hey, housework will still be here tomorrow, right? Priorities! 🧶 😉 👍
