A very gentle vlogmas - December 17, 2021

[@nicolelafontaine1720]

Even a patient dog still has 4 paws to put socks on, it also needs a very patient caregiver !!! Very nice yarn color today. get rest, Nicole, and take good care of yourself.

It’s been wonderful having a relaxing episode of the gentle knitter each day! I sit down with a mug of tea and some knitting and soak it all in!

I have really been enjoying your Vlogmas episodes. I have a grapevine wreath in my kitchen that I have put pieces from the tree at the front of my home (mosses, bark ). Today I went to the back of my home and gathered pieces of dried plants and added them to the wreath. I was so inspired by your beautiful wreath.. I really like the result. I have been following both Yukari Takahara's applique and Yoko Saito's work for quite a while, and when I saw Yoko's new book that you bought at the shop I quickly ordered it. It arrived today, and I am thrilled. Thanks for these and so many other inspiring things. These will make my Nova Scotia winter pass beautifully.

I love that you're knitting socks for Marcel! That is such a wonderful thing to do! Love the beautiful peachy yarn as well! 🍑🍑🍑

[@susiecollins6956]

Just love the doggie socks! They are adorable. I've used the Paton's Kroy Sock Yarn from JoAnn's or Michael's (US) too and love it. I will definitely look for this colorway. It looks like the beautiful yarns that you are revealing each day are from my home state of Michigan! Nice. I definitely want to order some...so pretty.

Foot mittens! Lovely

Marcel’s socks are just gorgeous and so cute, I love the colours. Such interesting facts about greyhounds I didn’t know :)

[@sharonvanpelt6005]

Marcels sock is so cute. Can’t wait to see a picture of him wearing his Christmas socks. Have a wonderful weekend filled with all things cozy and comforting.

[@mariemcneil6690]

Your Vlogmas os such a wonderful gift and a real treat, Nicole. Thank you so much! I'm really excitedly looking forward to your mushroom book. I must admit to being somewhat obsessed about photographing wild mushrooms here in Scotland, so can't wait to be able to knit a few of my favourites too.

Awe, 💛 I used to have a beautiful greyhound - ex racer, rescued 🐶

[@muhlenstedt]

Adorable socks for an adorable dog! And adorable you, of course.🤗

[@mountmercy527]

Marcel's socks are so adorable. He's a blessed dog!

[@countrysnippets]

Marcels socks are adorable, they will keep his feet lovely and toasty. 😊❤️

[@nicolarielly7679]

Enjoy your cosy cosy day Nicole. Love the little socks - a lot of love went into Marcel´s socks xxx

[@TinNC]

The socks look perfect for Marcel and quicker to knit than the knee high version! Your Vlogmas has been so restful to watch. Thank you for continuing to film and share with your viewers.

[@claireattheseaside3980]

Lovely podcast as always, loving the yarn advent colours, looking forward to seeing what these will go into in the future. X

[@judithburke3637]

Lucky marcel Thankyou again Nicole have a good day

[@hannasophia4102]

Hi Nicole. I have a possible idea for a vlogmas episode: maybe you could show us your knitting pattern book collection or a couple of your absolute favorites from your collection? That would be amazing for a beginner like me!!

[@neenathatsews1085]

I love Marcel's socks- so toasty warm and cute!

[@deborahinman3852]

Marcel is such a lucky chap getting those socks 🧦 🐶!

[@aggierowe9574]

My 90 lb dog, we have no idea why, LOVES clothes, except socks. Marcel's are adorable!

[@thegentleknitter]

That's so funny. Cuddles to your big pup!

[@rosemaryfrew5571]

I am sure Marcel will love those.

[@lanacampbell5740]

Absolutely amazing greyhound socks! I hope he loves them 🧦. Would you mind sharing the amount of stitches you cast on? I’m thinking of making some for our Zephyr 🐺 💙. You are a comfort and an inspiration 🍄🍂 ❄️

[@thegentleknitter]

I cast on 40 stitches on 2.25 mm needles. Cuddles to Zephyr!

[@lanacampbell5740]

Thank you!! 🐺♥️🧦

[@rachelbell9929]

I feel very invested in Marcel's sock project 😅 and can't wait to see them on his sweet feeties!! 🥰 Thank you Nicole!

[@woollenhearted]

Such a sweet little sock! I love the way the yarn has knit up too! 🤍

[@raquelwood3825]

The Advent yarn is beautiful! And marcel's sock is so adorable. Hopefully his feet will be toasty when he is outdoors.

[@rushatoo]

Oh my goodness those socks are adorable 😍

[@murielmarest9846]

Super cute socks. Marcel sera bien au chaud 👌🐶

[@MsCMR80]

What if the tubes were to have no feet and just become leg warmers?

[@pammcluskie6714]

Another gem, thank you, really enjoying these vlogs

[@nancyrickenbrode9981]

Just found you and I love your cardigan. Would love to find the pattern.

[@thegentleknitter]

It's the Felix cardigan. I put a link to the pattern in my video description notes.

[@vickywebb9318]

Hi Nicole, I am really enjoying your vlogmas episodes. I only just found out you were doing it and it’s so lovely to hear and see you again. You are wearing a very pretty brooch, can you remember the maker?

[@thegentleknitter]

Thank you! I bought it through the Honer Och Eir web shop many years ago. It's by a Kazakhstan ceramic artist, but I don't have the name.

[@vickywebb9318]

Ah. Yes. I already have some by her as well. Thanks for replying 😊

[@donnawelch3548]

Cute socks. Marcel will be the envy of the neighbourhood. You said you make a rounded toe. I have never tried that. Is there a pattern you could recommend? Thank you for sharing your Christmas time with us. Take Care.

[@thegentleknitter]

Hi Donna, I don't know of a specific pattern that features a rounded toe, however I would imagine there are tons of tutorials and instructions you could find here on KZbin or Google. It's a very common technique (similar to making the crown of a hat). Happy hunting!

[@donnawelch3548]

@@thegentleknitter Thank you. I have looked around and found some, just thought you might of had a favourite when you mentioned it. Take Care!
