The Stash-down Diaries Ep. 40 | 1000 subscribers! 🎉

[@yukonviv9166]

Congrats on hitting the 1000 subscribers mark! I enjoy listening while I work, it feels like I’m hanging with a knitting pal. Thank you!

[@Thestashdowndiaries]

Thank you! That’s so nice to hear. I want it to feel like we’re in a little knitting group….with interruptions from animals 😆

🎉🎉🎉 1000 yay! Love your advent socks. Our group is having a mini skein exchange where each of us gives a number of minis to each person and it adds up that everyone receives a total of 24 minis. We add little extras like chocolates, teas, etc and we can each create our advent calendar. Omgosh... that colour combo for the mitts is beautiful!!

[@foreverchasingthesunsets5842]

Question... what website do you use to determine fire weather stations and dates. I checked Ontario and my area and was a bit confused.

[@Thestashdowndiaries]

That’s so fun! What a great way to mix up your mini skeins and get more colours! I’m a bit enchanted by that colour combo. It needs to be a sweater.

[@foreverchasingthesunsets5842]

@@Thestashdowndiaries It definitely needs to be a sweater! Telja maybe? Another Steingass design... oh! Lunenburg by Amy Christoffers

Congratulations on 1000 subscribers. I always enjoy catching up with a fellow Canadian!

[@Thestashdowndiaries]

Thank you! I’m so glad you’re here!

Love listening to you chat about yarn and knitting and life. I recently moved from Toronto to NB and I don't have any knitty friends here yet so I live vicariously through podcasts. And you're sort of local, only being one province removed. I haven't been to Briggs and Little yet but my daughter in law and I are planning a trip there this fall. I love the hard wearing yarn so I need to go and stock up. Here's to another 1000 subscribers!

[@Thestashdowndiaries]

My brother lives in NB so I’m there once or twice a year. Briggs and Little’s shop is great! It’s just colour everywhere!

Congrats on your 1000 subscriber milestone! Enjoy watching your channel. : )

[@Thestashdowndiaries]

Thank you so much!

[@Reknits4me]

Nice to see you!

[@sun101rype]

Yahooo Congratulations Jen ! I'm excited abut fall and what you're going to knit in Briggs & Little. It's one of my go to yarns here in chilly and mostly blue skies Alberta 🥰

[@Thestashdowndiaries]

It’s such a great, functional yarn! And so many colours to play with.

[@selfishknitter]

Congratulations on your channel milestones! To celebrate, I watched several minutes of political campaign ads 😂😂😂 I love the colors in the mitts.

[@Thestashdowndiaries]

Oh boy, election season is such a drain on the brain. It’ll be Canada’s turn next year. I am looking at how I can change the frequency of ads on my videos. I can only do it on desktop which I will do going forward so that there’s only one mid roll ad. I watched one of my videos through to see how many ads there were and there were way too many.

[@selfishknitter]

@@Thestashdowndiaries No worries! It has been just as bad for non-monetized channels. I’ve also learned that when I watch KZbin on my TV, the ads are longer and unskippable for 30-45 seconds. If I watch on my iPad, I can usually skip after 5-15 seconds.

[@leannemorrill1475]

Congratulations! Love all your knitted projects, I wished I was a better knitter.

[@Thestashdowndiaries]

You’re probably better than you think!

[@sun101rype]

Quick question, for the larger size salt & pepper mittens you said you used a larger size needle. Could you please tell me what size needle you used ? Thankyou 😊

[@Thestashdowndiaries]

I’m pretty sure I went from a 3.5mm to a 3.75 for the body of the mitt. I’ll double check when I get home (at the parents’ house) and correct myself if I’m wrong. I kept the same smaller needles for the cuff.
