[@kimeckstrom2282]

Thank you for reminding us that Jesus is who we are celebrating in all our festivities. You are the only one I have heard mention the name of Jesus. Thank you. Each year I get a little into December before I decide on my special project. This year, I am using Three By The Sea, Crushed velvet in MCN and suri to make a shawl. Earlier in the year I won a skein of yarn from you. I am using it to make socks for my dad. Turns out this time of year the skein looks like a tree with colored Christmas tree lights. So, it is Three By The Sea all around me for advent knitting. Thank you, Kim

[@threebytheseadesigns]

Thank you! I know that everyone has different ways they celebrate this time of year but as a Christian it’s such a hopeful and joyful time to celebrate! Thank you for the encouragement. 🥰 I’m the same way with advents and December. I like to plan out as much as I can. lol I’m so happy to hear you are enjoying the yarn!

[@MJay77-u9z]

Thank you for Sharing the walk through Bethlehem, so spiritually uplifting!

[@threebytheseadesigns]

It was a great experience. I’m glad I could share it with all of you.

[@HeyItsAmes]

Loving the colors of the shawl - kind of "off Christmas" or off traditional colors 💚❤️🤍💗

[@threebytheseadesigns]

Yes, I believe the theme of that advent was Vintage Christmas. Or something similar like that. I'm loving it too!

[@Liz.Green789]

I'm so happy you've decided to do this next year. I've been following your adventures since the days when you did a lot of work with Olive & Two Ewe. I'm very fond of you both. Excellent products and wonderful people.

[@threebytheseadesigns]

Thank you Liz!

[@lydiabearham6025]

Merry Christmas to the wonderful ladies at 3BTS.

[@threebytheseadesigns]

Thank you, I’m so glad you are enjoying it. 🥰

[@msolomon9659]

I also heard about you from Kay at the Crazy Sock Lady. Love all the stuff you make. Thank you for being bold in your faith and talking about the real reason of Christmas! ❤ I really loved the Live Bethlehem from your old church on your last Vlogmas. Watching from Tulsa Oklahoma.

[@thekindles1183]

I also think this! It's very nice when you can express why we celebrate as Christians the holiday and faith. - Kimberly

[@threebytheseadesigns]

Thank you for the kind words. It’s very encouraging and I appreciate it so much. 🥰

[@12cspence]

I found three by the sea through the crazy sock lady and since I live in Florida it’s a win win. Merry Christmas 🎄

[@threebytheseadesigns]

Merry Christmas, fellow Floridian! 🌴☀️

So enjoying your Vlogmas and so happy to hear that you plan to do it again in 2024! 🎉 Now that I've found you, I look forward to watching as December progresses (although binging as I am now isn't too bad, either). 😊

[@threebytheseadesigns]

I love binge watching them too!

[@michelemead841]

🙋Found you via the Crazy Sock Lady & your yarns enchanted me. (bags too) Subsequently, I ordered Mrs. Claus. 🤶🤗 (The live Nativity was fun. Thanks for sharing.)

[@threebytheseadesigns]

Welcome and thank you for ordering!

[@graceyj7996]

I am so loving your Vlogmas! Learned of you and your business from thecrazysocklady😊 I just knit my first socks in 2023 and I am hooked!

[@threebytheseadesigns]

Knitting socks is definitely an addiction!

[@tiffanyfletcher8359]

Hi there! Thanks so much for your Vlogmus videos! It’s fun to see behind the scenes of the small business whose products I’ve grown to love! I’m just knitting away as I watch up here in Charlotte North Carolina!

[@threebytheseadesigns]

Thank you! I love North Carolina, it’s one of the most beautiful states!

[@graceyj7996]

Knitting from Charlotte as well!

[@debrasusan73]

Hi! I got to know you from Kay of The Crazy Sock Lady. Loving getting to know you. I'm a Christian sister from Michigan. I love how you honor Jesus. Great reminder to keep our eyes on Him during this season! Thanks for vlogging! Look forward to it AND my yarn will be here Friday! Can't WAIT!!!! Saw the project bag you sent Kay. She was very touched, so nice of you. They are so pretty! Take care and God bless!

[@debrasusan73]

P.S. How did you name your shop? What is Three by the Sea?

[@threebytheseadesigns]

Thank you for the kind words and encouragement. It means so much! Kay is the sweetest and we wanted to do something special for her. Her reaction was the best! I’ll talk all about Three by the Sea on the next episode. Since we have so many new subscribers I should introduce us again. 🥰

[@Knittingnana]

Hi from Kentucky! Heard about you from The Crazy Sock Lady. Love how you honor the reason we celebrate Christmas. Just subscribed.

[@threebytheseadesigns]

Thank you and welcome! Looking forward to getting to know you all. 🥰

[@ginnerlucreates1884]

Kim, I’m enjoying the little peeks into your day very much. I’d still love to see Dreama & Becky at least stop by to say hi to everyone 😊. I watched The Crazy Sock Lady’s podcast before yours and I just have to say that you ladies are the absolute best!

[@threebytheseadesigns]

Thanks Linda! I do want them to pop on at some point for vlogmas. Maybe we can write to Santa and ask him to help out! 🤣

[@ShannonDerby]

Really enjoying your blogs. I can’t remember how I found your shop but it was via Instagram. Love how you shared your faith. I’m a fellow believer out in Oregon. ❤️ Merry Christmas ❤️🙏🏻❤️

[@threebytheseadesigns]

Thank you and Merry Christmas to you! 🥰

[@ursulamanwiller5630]

I have loved your Vlogmas. Thank you. And I so enjoyed the living Nativity

[@MJay77-u9z]

So good to see your Vlogmas, I love your shop! Merry Christmas from Asheville, NC!

[@threebytheseadesigns]

Thank you and Merry Christmas!

[@jeanburby6492]

Hi, I heard from you from a couple other vlogmas. I am from Michigan. We used to live in MD for a few years and went to the ocean and we have gone to Nags Head NC foran6 years. We love the sea so that caught my eye. Love your vlogmas!

[@threebytheseadesigns]

Thank you and welcome to the channel! Looking forward to more chats. 🥰

[@O1iviaR]

Hi Kim! I've been following for quite a while, I think I found you through Instagram or Etsy with the cute stitchmarkers! I'm an AZ girl, but my bonus daughter lives in Northern FL, so we get over there once every year or two. I've never been south of Daytona, so I need to go back and explore further south and in your area! Im loving your Vlogmas and am happy you'll continue the tradition. Merry Christmas!

[@threebytheseadesigns]

Thank you, I'm so glad you are enjoying it. Central Florida is great too, definitely come this way! We can have a coffee and knitting date. :)

[@frunzid1]

So enjoying your Vlogs (from a former Floridian, now residing in KY lol). Not sure how I "found" you recently but glad I did and even happier that I was able to snag Cookies for Santa -just arrived. So beautiful!! (mad at myself for not snagging Mrs. Claus too lol)

[@threebytheseadesigns]

Thank you and welcome to vlogmas! I’m glad you like Cookies for Santa, it’s so fun to knit with! Don’t worry, Mrs. Claus will be back next year for sure!

[@leahlovestoknit]

Hi! I have been enjoying your vlogmas this month. Your decorations are beautiful! I came across your shop a few years ago when Iived in Florida. I ordered some stitch markers from you and picked them up at a Yarn Lounge event in Cape Canaveral!

[@threebytheseadesigns]

I remember that one, Yarn Lounge was always so fun!

[@kimeckstrom2282]

Hello Kim, I like your countdown card. I have tried Amazon, Etsy, and Google. To you remember where you found it? Thank you, Kim

[@threebytheseadesigns]

If I remember correctly, that card was part of a Christmas craft book where you cut out these paper decorations and put them together. Kind of like paper dolls but they were little Christmas decorations. I got it when my kids were young and I want to say it came from Costco. But that could be wrong. lol I’ll try to look online because I don’t have the book anymore.

[@TheCripeCrew]

Hi another viewer here by way of Crazy Sock Lady. I’m watching from Indiana. I’m not very good with Instagram but I’ll see if I can figure out how to enter your drawing. Right now my knitting is in a plastic shopping bag so it would be cool to win one of your cute bags!

[@threebytheseadesigns]

I’m planning to do some prizes here on KZbin soon also so there will be chances to win other things as well!

[@dollywilliams3446]

Thanks for your lovely vlogs! How do you get those beautiful Christmas project bags? What’s the best way to snag one? I always seem to miss out-

[@threebytheseadesigns]

Make sure to follow us on instagram and check the podcast for preview videos of new collections. Our next big shop update will be for Spring in the beginning of March. 🥰

[@dollywilliams3446]

@@threebytheseadesigns thank you Kim. I’ll have to get my granddaughter to show me instagram. I’m 70 still trying to learn stuff- lol
