Hi. I enjoyed this video and added so many of your wish list items to mine. Isager....yes! As far as sewing machines, my recommendation is Juki. Juki machines are industry workhorse and are built to last. Don't even worry about the number of stitches on a machine because most people only use less than 5. Juki machines are solid ... will sew through multiple layers of denim, leather and vinyl. And yea... skip Babylock. They are nice, but are more of a label. Juki machines are not as cheap as those $200 machines from Walmart, but they perform as well as the $2000 machines. They are rock solid. One thing to keep in mind is all-in-ones tend to mean you deficient-in-all. Don't go for machines that sew, quilt, coverstitch, embroider because that's a lot of moving components and not one feature will work very well. Get a nice sewing machine(Juki 😂) and maybe add an embroider machine later. I know Brother makes some good ones. The F-line of Jukis are nice, the DX is a step up from the F and they now have a lot more fancier components. If you want to see reviews on Juki machines, Crafty Gemini has a channel showing them off.

Knitpicks has like a bare variety pack of different fibers and weights that I’ve been eyeing when I’m ready to try hand dyeing yarn. I would love to experiment with that. Actually my local yarn store has hand dyeing classes where you just pay for the sock blank and you can use whatever dyes that have and they’ll show you how to do it. I want to take that class with my mom for Christmas.

[@lecy2525]

oof yes i love christmas content!! watching this while knitting up some christmas gifts :)

[@emmy8887]

OMG YAY i loved this 😍 i was crocheting a cat beanie while watching! Also lip color is so beautiful!!

[@typicalbliss]

Yay! Thank you!

[@izzshethey1357]

I’d love to see what you spin if you do get a spindle! I got a drop spindle a couple months ago to see if I enjoyed spinning before I invest so much in a wheel (hundreds as opposed to a couple quid for a drop spindle) and I’m loving it. It’s a very slow process at the moment because I’m just learning (and drop spinning is even slower, both spinning and finishing the yarn because I can only spin small amounts at a time) but I think I’m going to wait a while now before I get a wheel bc even then I don’t think I’ll be making yarn fast enough to keep up with my knitting, so it’s more about the process for me :)

[@faeryfibers]

I have some Wandering Flock cosmic tie dye in sock and mohair that I’m holding together and knit up it is SO PRETTY I love it

[@typicalbliss]

omg someone else said they have the cosmic tie dye, stop TEMPTING me

[@mayn4372]

Speaking of new hobbies in new year I am totally with you. 🥰

[@purljade]

You can get some really nice colours with natural dyes -- avocado pits and skins give you pink, onion skins give nice browns, greens, and yellows, and you can also use used tea leaves and coffee grinds. Would love to watch you testing out some natural dyes!

[@emilyfrench4947]

I have cosmic tie dye! It's a lot more pale when it knits up, GET IT!!!!

[@typicalbliss]

AH DONT TEMPT ME

[@emilywhalen8181]

As far as sewing fabric, get bedsheets and stuff from the thrift store to practice on!!

[@typicalbliss]

YES that is what I am doing and it has been very helpful

[@SH-xc2lx]

it’s so cool that you’re wanting to get into sewing! i got into knitting in the first place because i moved away from home and had to leave my sewing machine behind and missed making clothes lol

[@pinkmacprincess]

I got the Vintage greenish/grey singer heavy duty sewing machine on sale and I love it. What would you say is your most wanted Christmas list item?

[@typicalbliss]

I really want the Madera yarn I think that's a for sure buy

[@dooby8029]

i made a cardigan like the november jacket (same stitch) over the summer and it definitely stretched after i blocked it!! i might even make the sleeves slightly shorter bc of how much it grew lol

[@typicalbliss]

omg thank u for calming my soul

[@the_letteree]

Isager mohair is pure softness and is absolutely beautiful! Was lucky to get a bunch on sale and it's definitely worth it! Alpaca + this mohair is like you're living in a cloud :)

[@typicalbliss]

OMG I would have to wait for a sale, u can't tempt me like this

[@TheHarryKnit]

I've been thinking of dyeing my own yarn too! Since it's so hard to find nice varigated yarns over here, but I'm still looking for the easiest way to dye plant fibers since that's what I'm used to working with. It's still a struggle hahaha

[@olatzriber]

Yes to cobalt blue! I think it'd look great on you!

[@emmasloan9348]

super cute as always!

[@meganmcmechen2185]

Sewrella yarn is amazing 😍 and they are about to have their greatest hits sale in January where they bring back all of the favorite color ways from the year! This would be the best time because you get to see all of the best! ❤️ And the seasonal Ronald she keeps in stock are gorgeous!

[@typicalbliss]

oooooooooh okok thank you

[@meganmcmechen2185]

Oops! Seasonal *tonals!

[@alysandraborden9265]

Have you ever thought of making a temperate blanket?

[@studio_anaelle]

My biggest tip for sewing is to before cutting into your nice fabric to really make sure you have the right size (mostly for clothing), you can make toiles before from cheap old bedsheets from the thrift store or something

[@studio_anaelle]

And start with something small like placemats, bags, etc :)

[@typicalbliss]

yes making the smallest things ever right now, and bedsheets only lol

[@joannaz.1272]

I can totally relate to the whole "all the stuff I want to buy for the hobbies I want to try"! At the same time I can't finish a one project for the life of me hah

[@emilydewey6613]

Both of the Noro yarns you mentioned are available at Webs in some shades. I’ve used both yarns and definitely recommend.

[@typicalbliss]

yes I love webs

[@christykaderman6484]

As long as u have the proper needle u can sew almost anything with a basic machine

[@_studioklara]

You should just try sewing some stuff and see if you like it! If you like it on your family sewing machine you could get into more sewing and weaving etc :)

[@typicalbliss]

yup that's the plan!! I can dream of more tho lool

[@maanknitwear]

Hey Tiffany! About the sewing machine: See if there's a sewing machine repair shop close to you! They usually sell new and secondhand sewing machines there and give a year's guarantee on those 2nd hand ones too. I bought a second hand one at a place like that when I started and I still use it now :) It was like 100 euros so it saves a bunch of money! (Got a surger there too a little while ago for like 80 euros) Hope that helps!!

loving the blissmas videos! i just bought some knitting needles ghe other day and so excited to start 🧶!!! would love to know some beginner friendly knitting patterns/pieces you would recommend ✨❤️

[@typicalbliss]

for sure!!!

[@purljade]

Could be worth seeing if there are any weaving or fibre groups/clubs in your area -- they can have all the looms and other big gear you need, and you can try out the hobby before you invest -- and meet some fellow fibre enthusiasts!

[@MsIbaum]

like a girl who from hobby sewing now I am a small business owner, I can tell, owerlock are sooooo good stuff! even, if I would sewing only for me! it's like , if you sew and you don't have overlock, it's ike knitting sweater from nylon......i just think it's a good investment.

[@drowninginthelake]

So cute

[@illyriancrybaby]

Great vid❤️ But girly- look for the loom on fb marketplace or somewhere cause people are reselling them for cheaper second hand too! And as a fellow sewist, heavy duty machine is cool but jeans (pants in general) are veery difficult thing to make and its a journey to get there😂✌🏼 I sew for two years and like pants, zippers, zipper flys are V scary still😂 But I will keep my fingers crossed for ya☺️

[@typicalbliss]

hahah thank you!! I think I'll probably stick with my grandmother's sewing machine for now and use my loom (these are just faraway wishes haha)

[@C0SM1CPR1NC3]

the top at 8:50 is the daphne top I believe???

[@SianChristina]

The double Sunday is LUSH. I made a baby jumper in it and it’s beautiful, so soft. I want to make the adult version of the bobble(?) jumper but it is super pricey. Also if you made a cobalt blue jumper you can guarantee I’d copy yours 😅

[@NadiaIngeborg]

Hey Tiffany. I've knitted the Novice Sweater with two strands of Isager mohair held together with one strand of their alpaca 2. It is soo unbelievably soft and their mohair is long and fluffy. It is hands down the best quality of mohair I have ever tried. If you really want to treat yourself (and who doesn't?) and want a dreamy, soft sweater, you should definitely try it - at least once in your lifetime. I promise you will absolutely love it :-)

[@studio_anaelle]

It’s definitely worth getting a good sewing machine that can work with heavy weight fibers!!! I think you’ll love sewing.

[@typicalbliss]

Aaahh ok I’m very invested

[@jjemmina]

I have knitted one sweater with Isager silk mohair, it is so dreamy! So soft and luxurious. But I have to say that in my opinion KFO silk mohair is just as nice, so as a student I prefer KFO. But i think you should def try the Isager one 👀

[@typicalbliss]

UUUUGGGGGH MY MONEY

[@lehanilee]

Gorl the hand dyed yarn brain worms are real for me too… have you looked at Sysleriget yarns by any chance? I feel like it’ll be right up your alley 👁👁

[@typicalbliss]

I AM OBSESSED WITH THEM, I can't justify buying it thoooo

[@bead9609]

Can you tell me what is the pattern for the winter clutch ?

[@typicalbliss]

its by petite knit!

[@marinagogidou3793]

You should definitely get into TikTok!! I think this will be great and you are not too old for this 😂😂

[@melikesimsek3898]

i was really obsessedddd with your silver necklace one video you said its your uncles and from denmark can you please tell me what brand is :((((( i love your videos!!!!!!!!

[@nastassiaf4449]

Hey Tiffany ! Buying a second hand sewing machine could be a really good option, I'm not sure how it is in Canada but where I am you can find a lot of barely used ones on a second hand website :) Also you don't need a very expensive sewing machine to sew amazing stuff, and most domestic machines can sew trough jeans just fine, even non heavy duty ones ! Hope that helped ;)

[@wenke6709]

Brioche stretches like crazy! Don't oversize too much

[@typicalbliss]

THANK YOU! I will keep to size

[@easyteh4getperson]

dyeing things is great except it uses so much freaking water. i felt so bad rinsing out the dye 4-5 times :( my only hang-up with dyeing and the only thing stopping me. u should def try the weaving loom you have because it gives you an idea of whats to come lol the larger looms have so many parts and a lot of pre-planning

[@Maria-dt3kv]

Isager mohair = Ice a grr mohair I´m Norwegian and think this how you can say it in English :) you know that tiktok/reels sound that's like: oooh ahhh ihhh ojjj - with a lot of echo? the ´a´in isager is more of that ahh sound than a normal ´a´ sound! But man! 20 CAD for isager ?? i pay like 115 NOK - 16 CAD! but its worth it! its soooo soft! the double sunday from sandnesgarn is worth it for the color, but its can pill and isn't so epic. its just like a normal non super wash merino wool. its a bit softer than sunday :)

[@typicalbliss]

AH thank you!! AND yES ! It's so silly why must I live so far away from the best yarn ever
