Kroy yarn is so sturdy, and great for socks! Marcelle is so fortunate to receive a gift like home knit socks. He’s so lovable

Lovely to see you are beginning a new craft journey. I love love love hand sewing little hexagons together to make quilts. To me hand stitching is as meditative as when I knit. Thanks for the well wishes Marcel.

I lived in Oxford Mills Ontario when the ice storm you talked about was happening we lost power for 2 weeks.. we were ok because us and some family stayed Together in a house with a generator and a fire place but not everyone was as lucky. My mom’s work place turned into a place for people to get a free hot meal and even a warm place to sleep.. also I love how well you care for your dog. He is so well loved 🥰

You are very creative and I enjoy the explanations and history behind you with reference to the crafting. Marcel is so loved and cherished and I enjoyed the foot talk. Lucky pup and owners. Your mums suggestion is brilliant and I would imagine warming to his paws. Looking forward to seeing finished Sox . Thank you for today.

What a terrific idea with the socks for Marcel! Cannot wait to see how handsome he will look in his striped knee-highs. Maybe you can knit him a color-coordinated beret with ear-slots as well! Thumbs up to the patient husband not minding that the dog gets all the greetings 🤣. And really beautiful yarn colors in our advent calendar…. So fun to see the bouquet grow larger, enjoy!

Lovely colors for the quilt; did a crazy quilt once but found it very time consuming but loved the experience, i prefer knitting 😁 Love your solstice decor, doing mine this week. Have a nice evening Nicole and see you tomorrow ~

Oh Marcel is the male version of our Lily. He is just slightly greyer around the eyes. Lily is an ex racing greyhound. Very gentle and loving. We have 4 dogs all different. The socks inside the boots is a very good idea… i know what you are saying with their nails bending downwards more than others. Xxx

Accuracy is important. How gorgeous you are making socks for Marcel. Your advent wools are gorgeous. I am loving your vlogmas.

The big ice storm was in January 1998. My brother's cadet corps was out in the rural areas helping people without power.

That storm was '98! I remember it very clearly - we were in Kingston Ontario and we were the only ones who had power in our fam so everyone was coming to ours to get warm and shower. We lost so many gorgeous trees tho. Yesterday was gross weather - I cannot wait for the snow. Its the first year my toddler would wear snow pants and all we wanna do is play in the snow :)

Ive knit with the Patons Kroy sock yarn for many years, and I’m with you Nicole, they last for ages! I will be matching Marcel as I have a pair in that colour 🐾 I have an 82lb female boxer lab who is 9 as of this past Halloween. I had never thought about leg warmers for her before but now she needs some (same short hair) Thank you so much and as always thanks for sharing. PS- really hoping for no major ice storms this year 🤞🏽 we’ve had some bad ones here in southern NB and the loss of old growth trees is just tragic 🌲
