As you were throwing the cardi sleeve over your head, I was laughing and thinking, "Why don't you just put it on?" Next scene, you're wearing it. 😂😅😂

[@MandobugCrafts]

Sometimes it takes a minute for the bright ideas to come through with me LMAO

Ok, tell everyone the truth... You are an Android aren't you? You haven't aged a day in 8 years!! I am so just amazed by you. I think amazed is a good word. You are so talented, and kind, and cool and fun, and driven!! I'm so happy that we got to be friends :) I can not wait for the MCAL. We are at less than a week!! Your NBC cardi made me grab my harry potter yarn and start making up patches. I think it will be good to have as a mindless project while working on the MCAL. I really want a fabulously patchy cardigan!

[@MandobugCrafts]

LOL you are hilarious! I love to smile and I smile frequently so those wrinkles are starting to come through with age, but I don't mind. It's proof I'm living a happy life! And I'm so glad I got to meet you and become friends with you too! OMG Harry Potter patches!! I love it!!!

[@Arcanewhim]

Omg that old video clip 😂so so nostalgic. What a wild ride.

[@MandobugCrafts]

Right!? I miss spending as much time with you as I got to do back then 😭

[@MarquitasKnottyCrush]

What a sweet gift! It's lovely!

[@MandobugCrafts]

It was so sweet!

[@jessicaofjsthreads1321]

The merch is so cute! I love, love that TNBC cardigan! And now I want to make one too 😍😍 I'm all ready for the MCAL! So excited!

[@MandobugCrafts]

Thank you and I say dooo ittt! If you join Alt Knots Ghoul Squad FB you can see other people who have made the cardi and just how different everyones has turned out. I don't think Kayla has officially released the video tutorial for the pattern yet. I think she still has the written version available for free on her blog.

I love your Nightmare before Christmas Cardigan

[@MandobugCrafts]

Thank you! Me too!!

[@gailstellar9628]

The cowl is pretty. Love the stitch pattern.

[@MandobugCrafts]

Thank you! I just need to record the voice over audio and then the stitch pattern tutorial should be ready. Probably by next week.

[@amara560]

That Nightmare Before Christmas cardigan is absolutely stunning! Love it so much😍 I feel super inspired by your cowl! The way you were wearing it reminds me of a knight's armour. Maybe I'll make one a little more form fitting for cosplay purposes. I think it would work well. What a special gift that yarn bowl. So precious. Love the MCAL merch. It looks wonderful. I am a new subscriber (got to know you through the MCAL) and discovered I have a lot of backlog to catch up on. How fun! Congrats on 8 years! You look so young in your first video.

[@MandobugCrafts]

It sure is a stunner! Thank you! And Oh! I think that is a great idea for cosplay armor in a metallic looking yarn! And thank you! LOL 8 year old me was the ripe age of 24

[@MochaCrochetsandCrafts]

Okay, now to comment on the rest of the video...the cardi is awesome! The pinafore is adorable and if you make one in Coboo it's going to be wonderful...so much drape and flow! I'm jealous of your yarn bowl...such a thoughtful gift! And your merch is cute! But you know, you could be more excited about this CAL...you know...jump up and down...giggle a bit..oh wait...LOL Finally...were you 12 8 years ago? LOL Congrats on the 8 years! I'm coming up on four years I think in October.

[@MandobugCrafts]

[@MandobugCrafts]

Thank you!

[@MarquitasKnottyCrush]

Your cardigan is beautiful! I like the batting design in it too. Will the rubbing be a solid color?

[@MandobugCrafts]

Thank you! Yes I'm planning on solid black for the rest of the ribbing.
