I love my December mornings, sipping my coffee, knitting and watching your vlogmas, Sandy!! It is the perfect morning and a year long tradition! Happy Holidays to you and your family 🥰🥰 I am from Denmark, Like Hans Christian Andersen, not Norway. 😄😄

@@CamijoKnitDesign hi Camilla! I’m so excited to spend my vlogmas with you and your beautiful advent each day. I did know you were from Denmark (just like my friend Christina)… I’m so sorry I made that slip up. My brain is on overload. 😊🩷

[@barbarapregger8526]

It is so lovely to see you and your family on Vlogmas, Sandy. Excited to see how the self-striping socks will turn out. Beautiful colours! 😊 Here in Germany we still love the picture advent calendars. Well at least I do. 😅

[@janetholler9931]

I bought the same paper Advent calendar and I sent it to my brothers and my sister because it reminded me of the one we had growing up. I loved opening it up yesterday and today. It is lovely.

[@KarenHickman-t2b]

I love your Vlogmas - so cosy! I live outside Sydney in Australia, and it's so hot today! Planning a Northern hemisphere Christmas next year and can't wait. Thanks for your podcast, its a treat!

Hooray for vlogmas. I love spending this time with your videos Sandy! 🎄

[@hajuzt]

Lovely vlogmas as always. What a time of year to have a postal strike!!! And Camilla lives in Denmark 😉

[@carolcurtis2220]

Ticked the like button while the opening ads were playing. Great to see you again. Carol from Melbourne. May I suggest a small tripod for your phone? It may help when you show us your advents❤

[@bythelakeside]

Thanks… I have a few but it was getting so late I just wanted to get through so I could edit. 😅❤

[@elainestiller3063]

Best time of year! So looking forward to your Vlogmas, (I know it’s a lot of work)❤️

[@bythelakeside]

Thank you so much!! 😊

[@denisewells6856]

Hi! I watched you last year. You are so elegant, and i fell in love with her yarn from your Advent openings. I was able to get her Advent Calendar this time. I, too, love Hans Christian Andersons' work. As a little side note, i believe Cami lives in Copenhagen, Denmark. I plan on visiting her yarn shop if my son can take me. It's his favorite vacation destination, and he's been there many times, taking me once. There are some significant yarn shops that I will map out if I'm lucky enough to go. Thank you for another vlogmas!

[@bythelakeside]

Yes, thank you for pointing that out. I have watched her for years and realized I made that mistake after someone mentioned it. 😊 thanks for being here!

[@gailhalloshry410]

Oh no! No spoiler alert for advent socks. 😩😆

[@bythelakeside]

@@gailhalloshry410 I didn’t post early, I thought December 1st was safe to show the skein. Sorry if it spoiled it for you . I’ll be posting the day’s stripe each day.

[@junewilliams9257]

Always enjoy your podcast.

[@bythelakeside]

thank you!

[@denisediauto9618]

It is so nice to start the season with your Vlogmas! Your home always looks beautiful and festive! The treats Camden made looked yummy and it was very nice of him to help you wind your yarn! What a great way to start the season, thank you!!❤

[@debclements7605]

So happy you are doing Vlogmas this year! Do I hear a little meow in the background? 😀😀

[@bythelakeside]

No, no meow here! I wish but I may be a little allergic to cats. 😢

[@mcoknits856]

Lovely episode. The only Been missing from your cosy household is a pet. I keep imagining your space with my two cats in it.

[@bythelakeside]

😊

My third year enjoying your Vlogmas. I will knit Christmas stockings, kept in your lovely project bags. One done, one WIP, and a lovely Christmas cap in stranded knitting, also in a Sandy bag. You inspire me.

[@bythelakeside]

Thank you so very much! ❤

[@heatherleask3752]

Once your vlogmas starts I know it is definitely Christmas on its way. Been watching since you started these vlogs, how quickly the boys have grown up, miss James whizzing through the lego build. Enjoyable as always! Hoping Canada Post strike ends to get my Cozy Knitter Advent socks.

[@bythelakeside]

Thank you so much!! We really missed having him here last night. ❤

[@KKnits]

So glad you are doing Vlogmas again this year. Your Vlogmas always brings a lovely bit of calm and inspiration to my December days!
