Vlogmas 2024 - December 1st🎵🎄

[@knittielynnie]

Still, Still, Still is one of my favorite Christmas songs. I have a playlist with 16 of my favorite performances of just that song, and I am quite happy to listen to all of them back to back. It's also my favorite to play on the piano. Thanks for sharing it today!

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Thank you so much🎵💖

[@lindsey-brooke]

Where Are You a Christmas is one of my favorites and you played it so beautifully! What a great idea to read the stories each day along with Camijo’s advent!

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Thank you so much🎵🎄

[@susanwestfall5519]

I enjoyed seeing your daughter’s crochet. She is quite the crafter. I hope she keeps it up.

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Thank you! She enjoys it so very much. Crochets whenever she wants to relax. What more can a mother wish for😊😍

[@mlea79]

Love a homespun house. Ooo and that grey and purple yarn.

[@ThisLittleWonderfulLife]

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Thank you so much Ali❤️And I yours!🥰🤗

[@Knit.Purl.Repeat]

Hooray for Socks of the Day! That makes me smile and so glad to see you do that again. Silly of me I know but I will take all the happiness I can even the silly kind. Love seeing your advents. I think I will have to try one of those yarn dyers next year! Thanks for sharing and see you tomorrow!

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Thank you😍

[@karinasommer1545]

So nice to see your joy. Makes me happy! I was also online for the shop update from Three by the Sea and I didn't get the bag I want. They were sold out so fast this time! But I got the yarn I want. Hope it arrives before Xmas. Thanks for a wonderful Vlogmas Day. ☺

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

I got yarn too🤩 Which did you buy? Let’s hope it gets here before Christmas. Then we can cast on and go sock crazy😍

Thank you💖

[@JustFluffyQuiltingYarnCrafts]

Woo hoo!!!🎄❤ Interestingly, yellow was a part of all of today's yarns, except for one. 💛 Is the photo at the end the inspiration for the yarn colour? 💚🧡

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Yes exactly. We picked some inspiration from the photo and some days also from the song lyrics😊

[@carin.zwaneveld]

Wonderful video !

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Thank you😍

[@shamszakhour6076]

I had a similar experience with the last 3 by the Sea update! I was on their site exactly on time! I wanted a tree bag. Several times I had it in my cart, went to pay, and it was GONE. I never was able to get it!!!

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

I know they are working on a website. Maybe we will be lucky then😊 I just love the things they create🤩 Crossing my fingers for us😊

[@StitchingStories1]

Hello Malene... I felt like rushing home to watch Vlogmas with you. Thank you so much for mentioning my channel...Did you started a dare sock? hahaha. Your Grinch sock are awesome.

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Thank you Mechele! I did actually find a really cool pattern, but have not cast on yet. No time🙈

Hello from Swansea, Illinois. ❤❤❤

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Hello Jane💖Thank you for watching and leaving me a sweet comment🎵🎄

[@MelBassett-yb9xg]

😺: oh Boi! Sometimes we is just so unappreciated!😬 On da first day of vlogmas, my kitty sent to to me...🎶🎵 😹 love Dolly the Cat 👩: I love all those lime green grinchy colours!💕

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Meow and thank you Dolly! My humans are not easy to keep in check😹 Hooray for amazing cat friends😍

[@jeanmay1413]

Is your rice porridge like the rice pudding my mom used to make? Only she added raisins and sprinkled cinnamon sugar on top. It was so delicious!

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

I’m not sure actually. I think that depends on where in the world you are. In Denmark the porridge is more savory. For the pudding we add whipped cream, almonds and vanilla sugar😊

[@Lois-u3w]

Luv your socks your family and cats! What do you recommend for a beginner sock pattern? I have a wide calf and socks do not fit well

[@Lois-u3w]

I rather use regular needles than pointed needles

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Thank you💖Hmm that’s a tough one. I usually recommend vanilla socks by Kayla Litton (The Crazy Sock Lady) because I like the way she writes her patterns. What I would suggest for the calf is to cast on for example 72sts to have more room and then decrease to the number of sts you need for the foot during the gusset decreases. I cast in 56sts for the leg and increase to 64sts just before the heel because that’s where I need more room. Just as an example😊

[@mlea79]

Im wondering what heel you’ve done. It looks different along the side of the the heel flap?

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

It’s a heel flap and gusset. But I do a garter edge - knit the first and last three sts both on the right and wrong side of the flap. I find that it makes it easier for me to pick up sts for the gusset😊

[@susanwestfall5519]

I like the leg length of your socks of the day. How many rows did you knit for the leg and how many rows for the cuff?

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Thank you😊 I usually do 40 rnds for the leg. Sometimes only 30, but I’m pretty sure these are 40😃

[@anitawessels3932]

Hello from South Africa

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Hi Anita. Thank you for watching🎵💖

[@Horslevstrik]

Så hyggeligt❤ Luna elsker også risengrød - jeg laver det faktisk ret tit til hende 😂 og hun kan spise nogle seriøse portioner 🍚

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Samme med Ella😊Jeg fatter ikke hvor hun gør af det😂😍

[@Lois-u3w]

I say the same thing brain fart!!!! You are a fun lady!!!❤

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

It’s such a good expression right😂 Thank you🎵💖

[@mlea79]

Shop updates are so frustrating

[@mettejorgensen4457]

Der er ikke noget som børn der kan få en til at stå tidligt op😂Så mange lækre garner, men den der Homespun House😻har også Lones 4 søndage og den er bare lækker, men behøver jo heller ikke mere når jeg kan følge dig hver morgen 🥰 Stærkt inspireret af Garn og Glimmers juleafsnit har jeg meget optimistisk slået op til en julesweater, Lærke Bagger Family Sweater i julefarver🌲Ahh og så har vi fået kat nr 3, den kom bare og flyttede ind i vores garage, crazy cat people forever😜

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Hurra for katte der vælger en😍😍😍 Og børn der deler ud af juleglæden🤩🤩🤩🎄🎄🎄

[@danaharper8332]

I’m sorry that somebody hijacked your cart.. Who doesn’t need another bag, right?

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Exactly😊And thank you! I’m just so happy for Dreama, Kim and Becky that they are having such success🤩

[@normawas3114]

Maybe he found it on the ground & didn’t do what you think. If it was my cat that is what I would want to believe.

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Actually I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the case😂 I’ve thought that about him a couple of times. He does not eat what he finds. Just uses it as a toy. Silly kitty😊

[@lemonbalmmel]

Our cats carefully carry in snakes and geckos into our house without injury... they seem to think all the reptiles in the area need rescuing and indoor housing... (I live in south African). But 1 has twice caught birds and eaten it entirely. Cat is nearly 5, so 2 in five years isn't too bad. And an unknown number of crickets.

[@lonebjrnsen2964]

Glædelig december 🎄🎄 Jeg er ny på kanalen og også vild med garn 😊😅..jeg fik ikke helt fat i hvilken zoom du skulle deltage i… det lød nemlig interesant at følge med i ❤

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Tusind tak og i lige måde🎄Godt spørgsmål. Jeg ved ikke super meget om det. Det er stadig helt nyt for mig med Zoom🙈😂Jeg vil anbefale at kigge forbi happy_ever_yarn på Insta. Hun forklarer det hele meget bedre end jeg kan😊

[@csc_makes]

Så skønt du er tilbage med vlogmas ❤ hvis nogle af de engelsk talende er blevet nysgerrige på risengrød, kan de jo bruge sushi ris som erstatning, det bliver vist ikke helt det samme, men tæt nok på 😊

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Fantastisk tip! Tak for det😍
