This was a wonderful episode. I loved seeing your progress on the gnome and his glasses are the sweetest things! Your dress will be stunning, I’m sure.

@@marionmathews9852 Thank you so much Marion.

Now that’s a pink! It’s a thread cutter ring, you should be able to see tiny blades under the heart. All those Barbie dresses are really lovely. I could never imagine you attracting trouble 😂. Congratulations on your new job. I hope you negotiated good terms with plenty of time off for crafting! ❤

@@Shazdog123 Thank you so much Sharon. I think I might be able to craft between work duties, if all goes to plan.

The plaid was actually the tartan sash that goes over the shoulder and ties at the waist. It's not actually the print. The print is Tartan. Plaid is American. My Scottish friend told me that!! Loving your videos Claire. Will miss watching you every day. X

@@rebeccawilliams9227 Thank you Rebecca, it’s funny how different things are named in different areas. I only learnt about plaid after seeing a blythe doll called Plaid Parade (she was wearing tartan) so I researched it, then it made a lot of sense, as I had seen a few fabrics for sale in the UK being called plaid, and I had not seen it before, then I found it’s what Americans call, what we call Tartan.

What a good idea to make your husband's shirt for Burn's night instead! 🥰🎄🤗

@@millydollydame Thank you Milly. x

Your Barbie looks great in her festive dress. Sometimes with AliExpress you really don't know what you're going to get but the stuff is normally so inexpensive that at the end of the day you don't really mind. Congrats on the job! And congrats on the hot pink yarn today too! Oh, I Googled Murderino and apparently it's someone who is obsessed with true crimes, specifically the podcast "My Favourite Murder".

[@ClaireWhoMakesThings]

Yes, Ali express is very mixed, but overall I’m happy with them.

I think the heart ring has a thread cutter in it.

[@ClaireWhoMakesThings]

Thank you so much. That is so useful to know. I will try it tomorrow.

[@TammyPowley]

That gnome is so cute!!

[@ClaireWhoMakesThings]

Thank you so much Tammy. x

I’m so happy that you’re getting so much pink yarn now! The names don’t relate to the yarn though 😅 I feel like even if you were to read the name you wouldn’t be able to guess the color 😂 I know there is a podcast that calls their fans murderinos but I’m not sure what that has to do with Barbie? Based on the name I would’ve guessed you would’ve gotten a red yarn but I love the bold fuchsia color 😍

[@ClaireWhoMakesThings]

I was so shocked when I looked up the word Murderino today. I agree, I think it has nothing to do with Barbie. I too think red would be more suitable for this name.

You are much further along with Gnana than me. I got my yarn pack from Giddy Yarns and didn’t get the glasses so I will need to find some. My yarn came late so I have been playing catch up ever since. Yours looks amazing xx

[@ClaireWhoMakesThings]

Thank you so much Julie. We’ve had lots of days off knitting, plus I’m starting to get days with nothing to knit. This evening I am totally caught up before Emmerdale, so twiddling my thumbs during. lol I would love being in your position, you will catch up in no time at all.

[@JulieBuda]

@ I totally agree with you about the pages being numbered too. I thought the same thing earlier on x
