not kayla having multipul coasters on the table and then puts her cup inbetween them lol

[@victoriakeizer9561]

I just wanted you to know that we couldn’t be any different in our vibes, but I can’t stop watching your videos. You’ve reached beyond your target audience 🤍😇

[@AltKnots]

Well heck yeah welcome to the ghoul squad! Thank you so much for hanging out🎃

[@socgrrrl]

I love that C2C! 😍I’m a huge fan of the C2C square blanket too. I couldn’t figure out what to make with my Rave yarn, now I know! I did just finish a rectangular C2C so that’s another option. Yay!

[@AltKnots]

Heck yeah! It displays the color so well

[@porcelina956]

Ouch the prices at Jo-ann's. Your blanket colors remind me of the pink and green shag carpet I had in my room growing up.

[@TinaHarris]

OMG! You just gave me some inspiration. I made a solid black granny shrug years ago and I hardly reach for it. I never thought about putting ghost, skull, or pumpkin appliques on it until now!

[@AltKnots]

Absolutely! It's the perfect blank canvas to work with 🎃

[@nataliekeables6595]

Absoutley loving the flow of the C2C blanket. The colors are looking killer with those together 💜

[@AltKnots]

Very happy with how it's all playing together. And such a quick little make!

[@zombiepush]

I used to do long distance walking and suffered terrible leg and foot muscle pain. I got a sports message wand with interchangeable heads and a laminated chart of the muscles to hit target areas and that really helped along with stretching. I also picked up a foot roller that has water inside so you can freeze it and message your feet, both wonderful and terrible lol! Also hit up sports/medical physio vids to work out healthy routines for recovery based on your abilities while in pain because that saved me the most. Exciting vid update, thank you for sharing!

[@AltKnots]

Ok totally looking into that ice roller. I think that would be very helpful for me. Thank you so much for the suggestion!

[@Teerae11]

Love the color of those !!

[@AltKnots]

The stitch just makes them pop🎃

[@JenLester-yo9oj]

It’s the first time I’ve ever seen your cats!!! She is so cute!

[@AltKnots]

She's such a sweetie🎃

[@Thebeetlejuicelover]

Ooohh those hooks are beautiful! I might have to see about getting one of the cancer ones for my birthday this month.

[@dayrue4696]

I really loved this vlog and I just bought Rave Safety Cone! It’s so bright! I can see it in a great C2C. Also- you look great without makeup effort and down to earth and how I am ending up lately! Just real. ❤

[@AltKnots]

I have been really thinking of grabbing the safety cone color too. That orange is just such a moment🎃

[@molly1361]

I'm doing the Jarta Jasmine Designs Momento Mori Shawl with a 5mm in the Rave Dafety cone yarn.

[@ZimVader-0017]

So, I finally organized all my scrap yarn and caked up all the balls I had rolling around and had no idea what to do with some of them. I've never done a C2C before, and I have a lot of DK/baby yarn. Maybe I could make a lap blanket.

[@heathermacmaster5666]

My husband and daughter love to run around stores pressing all the buttons. Their favorite thing is to find the aisle with all the timers and set them off. Yes....we are those people...😂

[@AltKnots]

Definitely grabbing more in the near future🎃

[@user-hi7nh4yi1d]

Hello

[@MaryBethRichelo]

Do you have a tutorial for a corner to corner?

[@AltKnots]

Not at the moment

[@therealkp1399]

I'd love a tutorial as well, that's gorgeous!

[@dolls4em782]

As would I yay!💚💚💚

[@iheartcreepydolls5951]

Love your videos💜💜💜... those new hooks are so pretty. Wish I could get the whole set, cuz I'm a crabby baby🦀♋️

[@AltKnots]

Thank you so much for hanging out🎃

[@Atriphene]

My local Joann's just restocked the Rave yarn, wink wink

[@reaganneviska9937]

Green and pink is my favorite color palette...and I was SO close to buying the rave yarn the other day. I may need to go back to Joann's.

[@AltKnots]

This yarn especially, the colors just look so together

[@christinalee4211]

Joann's is going out of business here in Nebraska everything is 80% to 90% off

[@tamip208]

There is actually a way to make C2C squares and connect the squares as you go so you don't have to sew separately!

[@AltKnots]

I have done that before and love it! This blanket though I wanted to use the zigzag stitch in another color to add even more texture to it🎃

[@rozzybabe999]

God Bless your heart. to run 🦇🦇

[@Dmedgin7]

I love that blanket! C2c is one of the first things I learned. You can do so many amazing things with it!

[@AltKnots]

Exactly! Just so many patterns I have in mind already

[@bethknapp4935]

Love that pink and black!!! I cant wait til fall when i can start my bigger projects again. I'm still in amigirumi mode at the moment, trying to get better at reading patterns. The shrug is so stinking cute!!!

[@AltKnots]

Love amigurumi makes! I have a few going right now too

[@samanthathecardgirl8879]

I got that ghost for Christmas last year that has the eyes glow green & a kid's voice talks. I freaking love it.

[@AltKnots]

It's so darn spooky cute!

[@faceofantasy1194]

I grabbed 6 of the cancer hooks. They are so freaking cute with those !!!

[@AltKnots]

They really are stunning🎃

[@motherofbears7207]

Magnesium is great for calf cramps. I like the calm brand, I drink it right before bed and it helps me sleep AND helps prevent the Charlie horses!

[@dayrue4696]

I get these and will try that! Thanks 🙏

[@AltKnots]

Thank you for the suggestion!

[@MissInviz]

I cleaned my Joann out of the Scene Queen and the Slime green the other day and also have been wondering what to do with it lol. I was also considering a C2C (one of my favs) or alternating granny squares but I haven't finalized my decision but your C2C is gorgeous!!!

[@AltKnots]

Granny squares would look fantastic with this yarn too! I was heavily considering a granny square cardigan

[@lucretiamacevil362]

I just finished a c2c project last week (some leg warmers). One of my favorites for variegated yarn. It took my forever to learn how, since I learned from a pamphlet from the 80s lol.

[@AltKnots]

That's such a cool piece of crochet history to have! I bet those leg warmers are super cozy

[@bluerosecrystalsoul]

LOVE the C2C Squares!!🤗🖤💚🩷🖤

[@AltKnots]

Really love how they turned out too🎃

[@lalaleeshar8454]

Im making a hexi- cardigan with this yarn right meow & love the way it is working up! 🖤🩷🖤

[@AltKnots]

Oh the way the gradient would fall in the pattern! It's gonna be stunning

[@lalaleeshar8454]

Yes! I'm thinking I need one in every color now. 👻 ​@@AltKnots

[@lindaarchinal9008]

I found upping my B vites and more food with iron worked.

[@AltKnots]

Thanks for the suggestion! I've been working to get more iron in my diet as well.

[@BettyJohnsonMengy]

Kayla please tell me what that eyeball is and where did you get it? I absolutely need it! (the one on your barista shelf)

[@ashleyburks4639]

❤

[@carlitahayes7118]

im waiting for them to come out with scorpio

[@sunflowers2838]

I went to get that pink rave and my joann's dordnt have it all. Im so bummed out. I didn't buy it because im not a pink person but when i seen you make that c2c it looked beautiful

[@AltKnots]

It's such a vibrant pink and with the black running through it totally work making an electric project! Hopefully they're restocked near ya soon

[@christielamb2894]

Kayla, When I do blankets made of squares, I make up all my squares and seam them after double checking that all my ends are woven in. That way I'm not bringing a big piece with me everywhere. Just the yarn I'm working with, hook, snips and a pattern (if I'm using one) are all tucked into a grab n go project bag. ✌️💜🧶

[@AltKnots]

Totally agree having a small square compared to the whole blanket is so much easier to travel with. Makes it seem like the project moves faster too🎃

[@christielamb2894]

@@AltKnots that's for sure. I like to put a snipped yarn tail from each color into a piece of cardstock that I've punched holes in and written my yarn colors on so if I find myself in a store and want/or need to add colors to the project I have a little sample to compare to. 😊

[@festivalkyrie]

The only time I feel sorry for living in Europe is the clock, omg it's SOOOOOOOOOO PRETTY 🥺🥺🖤

[@AltKnots]

The skull clock was another favorite of mine too

[@ashleybrethold7158]

Alert alert!! New big twist colors on the Joann website!

[@AltKnots]

Thanks! I’ll have to check them out🎃

[@amyroberts7248]

OMG I never thought to use a giant neck pillow for my crocheting. I know what Im making next.

[@kikihammond5326]

It's actually called a Boppy. It's for nursing moms and dad's having to feed and prop up babies. Got one for myself for after baby was born and my husband ended up taking it over after a couple of months because his arms were so tired of trying to hold our kid upright as she wanted to sit up but couldn't. LOL. I ended up telling him he had to share or we were getting another one, so after that he shared. Also good for anyone needing arm support. I'm shocked no one has invented a tablet/cell Boppy. If they did and included a cup holder, I'd be all over it.

[@amyroberts7248]

@@kikihammond5326 Awesome thank you so much for letting me know what it is. They didnt have cool things like this when my babies where babies. I cant wait to see what my husbands face looks like when I bring something baby related into the house, we will be like.....uuuuuummmmm is there something I should know about lol

[@nilsaaverhoff8188]

Love the Ghost shrug. Is it square or rectangular? My Zodiac is Cancer. Thanks for the heads up on the Furls collection

[@AltKnots]

It's a square folded over. Happy early birthday!

[@nilsaaverhoff8188]

Thank you 😊

[@anniemoon350]

Still waiting for Furls to release Libra

[@kimberlie127]

If you need more I have w greens and 2 pinks if you want to buy them

[@annapepple477]

Okay so… idk if you have a video showing how BUT! How are you adding the cute crochet accents to your shirts? I have a crop top that’s a little tooooo cropped -ahem- and my 🍒 pop out the bottom. So I’m thinking this might be a good solution.

[@Kayari]

Oooh those hooks are gorgeous, and I'm a cancer 👀, I might have to pick a couple of them up when I have the cash to spare

[@AltKnots]

I really love the swirl that they choose for this one🎃

[@stephaniesosna8213]

Oh, oh, oh, please tell me about the pillow you were "wearing " to crochet !!!! A cheaper version of the Valari ? Thank you 😊

[@AltKnots]

It's actually a nursing pillow that I sewed a spooky cover for🎃 This one is really firm so it helps my posture majorly when crocheting for long sessions

[@MaryBethRichelo]

Hey Kayla 🦇

[@Trippy_Space_Bunny]

May I ask what your lap pillow is? I so need one.

[@AltKnots]

It's actually a nursing pillow that I sewed a spooky cover for🎃

[@Cakehunter]

If you think you have restless leg syndrome, make sure your body is getting plenty of magnesium! Especially if you are active!

[@AltKnots]

Thank you for the suggestion🎃
