vlogmas 2023 - episode 1

[@jackieleipert1950]

Mark is so cute with his personality shining through. Two rays of sunshine in my rainy day. Thanks.

[@sams_sew_scrappy]

Every time I see you loving on roving I can hear you say “ Because I’m a spinner.” And I chuckle 😁 Really nice seeing others THAT giddy!!

[@thizizliz]

Oooh, all that yummy yarney goodness! I especially enjoyed the pastry boxes for yarn kits! Quite clever. Toft really knows how to put a kit together. I'm THOUSANDS of miles away and can't crochet, yet I'm sitting on the edge of my seat to see what comes next. The two mini skeins really do look great together. It will be fun to see what you make of it - Good to see Mark on camera again - another thing to look forward to is him wearing that lovely shawl. I hope he loves it as much as all the love you put into it. Happy Travels guys.

I’m loving the Star Wars advent from Laura.

[@SAP64]

I like the beaded crochet, a true nightmare would be brioche with beads. 😂

[@MICHELLEROMEOLEHNERT]

Wonderful trip to the yarn shops! Gorgeous yarns and such a lovely walk about. 🎉

[@Bendex1612]

As a Glaswegian no longer living in Glasgow, thank you for taking me home! Hoping I'll be able to pop in to FTLOY's new shop at some point - your shop tour has definitely boosted getting there up the priority list!!

[@fabulousjaxx]

[@sbedwards100]

Thank you for the tour. I want to say that your healthy eating and exercise regiment shows! Your face appears slimmer and your breathing is calmer. I truly mean this as a compliment and want you to know you are an inspiration. Well Done!

[@dexterlockhart425]

Get Mark to put your advents in small bags with the number on them,small volume for packing in suitcase and still have the boxes intact at home.

[@DQDebra]

Thanks! What a fun video! I really enjoyed all of it.

[@suekilgour5360]

Love Glasgow! Best coffee is at Gordon street coffee next to train station ☕️

[@saramerrick3539]

your shawl is looking glorious!

[@Liz.Green789]

I love going along with you to yarn shops. You let us really see what is there. I appreciate that. These 2 were lovely! Thank you. I look forward to seeing where you take us in France. I started learning to knit in Angers, France, in 1985. The yarn shops there were wonderful. Safe travels.

[@jeanandreas3446]

[@rhysmillington]

Had a great weekend with you and Mark! Thanks for coming up to Glasgow. Was good to take a yarn friend to both those shops! My first time to For The Love of Yarn! Will definately be back!

Doesn’t that Janie crow stuff look lovely with Emma ball ❤❤❤

[@MJay77-u9z]

Happy Vlogmas and December!!

[@sleepydrJ]

Color management on that fiber could be tricky and try to turn into mud. You might chain ply it..

[@jackyteague6509]

Thank you so much for taking us along with you when you visited the yarn shops!!! I'm sure you could have spent hours looking around!! Love the colours you bought for your hat! One thought, will the buttons be ok to put in the washing machine??? 🤔

[@knit365blog]

Yep the buttons say they’re machine washable! 👏🏻

[@georginabird9354]

Where’s that sheep in a bowl from Martyn , i love him ❤❤

[@gamergranny285]

If the button holes just tighten them up slightly. It will be fine. Great videos

[@AnnikenAllis]

Went to the Yarn Cake several years ago. They've moved & it looks bigger. For the love of yarn looked fab.

[@debbiewigen805]

Looks like you had a lovely time!….thanks for taking us along! Your Toft advent has me wondering? The MKAL is definitely coming along (mine has surrendered to Christmas gift knitting). I love the yarn you purchased for your new hat. Well done Martyn!

[@nicolekerslake5533]

Such a great video❤❤❤❤

[@MR2spyder100]

Happy Vlogmas time! Thanks for taking us along on the yarn tour. What happens in Glasgow stays in Glasgow? 🙃😆 it's so exciting to see the Toft creation take shape, and I don't have to make it!

[@constancegarcia8053]

Happy Vlogmas. 🎄

[@stephanienorris364]

Are you going to buy French yarn this year like you did in Scandinavia? Love your vlogmas.❤💚

[@georginabird9354]

Hi mark waving , doesn’t Martyn look lovely in that green shirt ❤❤❤

[@Mckee4055]

Take a picture of the contents of the Toft box next to the box (with number showing) before you break them down? Enjoy your making!

[@sianesian]

Can u show haw udo ur stitch marker please mine always seamers together lost in the stitches. Xxx

[@billiebluesheepie2907]

I love being a scout leader :-) Yesterday was Santa sleepover with the cubs, tomorrow is the Christmas fare for all the sections, Tuesday is scouts and Wednesday is ice skating…. If only we had more leaders, I’d have more nights off for knitting!!!

[@knitrinka9493]

Couldn't you take a picture of the box top and the items in each box in order to keep track and then be able to collapse the box? Isn't it nice to have supportive non-yarny partners?

[@juliereed480]

My day 1 looks different to yours from TLGG!

[@knit365blog]

I’ve got the yak base! I’m going to talk about it in the next video when I have a few more to show… mine will look darker than the other bases!

[@juliereed480]

Ah that explains it. I can't remember my base but I am sure I didn't go for yak.

[@knit365blog]

@@juliereed480 is your day one a bright gold colour?

[@juliereed480]

@knit365blog yes it's more of a gold
