[@heathertucker7056]

I think we all assume you knit from early morning to late at night without a stop! Probably because of the volume of wonderful socks you get finished 🤣 Lovely and relaxing to watch vlogmas today so thank you Kay x

[@wendykelcey1246]

Has anyone told you just how soothing your Christmas music is? Just what the world needs right now. 💕

[@CrazySockLady]

♥️

[@Turtle4Cats]

Love how your Grinch socks turned out! What a cute way to end the video with your handknit sock covered feet together ❤

[@conniewiseman5630]

A husband that cooks, that’s wonderful!

[@kathydehnel6172]

I have enjoyed the advents the past couple of years. All of these things are so new to me. I don’t understand how you keep those things under the tree with 2 cats in the house. I have one cat and she would be more than happy to turn that into her private apartment pad!!

[@knitcrochetsew]

Ooh I love the homestead house yarn in todays advents

[@reganstandlick7520]

oooooo that peppermint truffle sounds delicious. I love avocado toast. I bet avocado grill cheese for breakfast is super tasty. The Love story socks makes me think immediately of the Taylor swift song. The legacy fibers yarn for day 7 is beautiful

[@SarahP_official]

Those charms!!! Look at litte rudolph 😍 how adorable.

[@ljtnc6012]

Your Christmas stripe socks are gorgeous! Perfect combination for the season🌲❤️ I am loving your Vlogmas - it is so thoughtfully and beautifully done! Just the right length and love the content and the daily ending with the countdown candle. 🕯️

[@DogMomKnits]

Your socks are so beautiful!! I am loving your Vlogmas. Thank you for taking the time to make sure great videos. The song that played last on today's episode is my favorite of all the ones I hear during Vlogmas. It is such a special reminder to slow down and breathe through the busyness of the season.

[@anneellison8188]

Loved that last shot with the 2 pairs of feet, ankles crossed in your handknit socks!

[@terriulmer655]

Kay want to chime in and say I look forward to watching your Vlogmas every day. Top on my watch list and I’m loving the animal playful entertainment. They are happy to take the spotlight from your boys. ❤️

[@emilydobbins5154]

I am totally the same way with eating the same thing each day. I never get tired of a food that I enjoy and can just keep on with that same meal for ages 😂

[@stephaniefricke7679]

I am 100% getting Twice Sheared Sheep advent next year! I love her stitch markers in the first place and I’m loving all the gifties in your advent calendar from her.

[@CrazySockLady]

It’s been so much fun!

[@knittyweeza]

I'm making a santa tissue box cover right now too. Almost ready for assembly. Plastic canvas is so much fun every once in a while.

[@mandyhague6363]

Lovely to get a glimpse into your day. The dogs were so cute playing together and the black cat is beautiful.👍😊🧶🎅🏻🎄

[@lionessemk.3804]

I am absolutely the same when it comes to dinner xD we do cook for lunch and for dinner it’s usually just bread with nearly the same toppings over and over again. 😂

[@TheCripeCrew]

Your dogs playing together are so adorable 🥰

[@marybethr7146]

Those puppies are so adorable! And there's proof that Eric does wear the socks you knit him (not that we ever doubted). Another great Vlogmas episode!

[@chirp3834]

😆

[@chirp3834]

Lol

[@LDSVenus]

Kay, you don’t need to be sorry that the pattern for the socks you wore isn’t available, it was just an fyi for others who liked the pattern. Keep showing all your socks you’ve knit, they are all pretty and I enjoy seeing them ;). I’m always amazed at your sock knitting talent, you make knitting them look so easy. Maybe someday I’ll give them another try, I even buy your sock patterns in anticipation of that ;p.

[@knitty781]

I'll have to try the peppermint truffles! They look delicious. Still loving the bag that the Canadian Yarn Dyer advent came in. It's going to be a wonderful extra large project bag! And the one you got from TSS - the polar bears are great. I keep looking at winter fabric, but my sewing machine is on the fritz, so it seems silly to buy fabrics.

[@jubilee_homestead3929]

Just love seeing all the handmade things in your home! And Dexter and Gracie playing were so cute!

[@LindaSimpson]

I was knitting on my cozy memories blanket watching your vlogmas. Love the yarn and cute stitch markers ❤❤

[@cimoirine]

That salad looks amazing even with too much dressing. Makes me want to start having more salads or at least more veggies

[@patches0121]

I would like to see the Homespun House yarns together, I'm sure they're different but they look like the same yarn daily with different names lol xx

[@CrazySockLady]

Each day is gradually different as the advent is a fade. ❤️

[@patches0121]

ohhhhhhhhhh Thank you, lol 🤪@@CrazySockLady

[@lisahughes3007]

I enjoyed today's vlogmas! As I enjoy all of your videos! The pups playing together is so cute. Thank you for sharing glimpses of your day to day life.:)

[@mylifeknits]

I was the one that made a comment about the wasabi haha The only thing green and that comes in a tube here, is wasabi (Im watching from Tokyo, Japan) - it was so interesting to learn that avocado came in a baggie like that! It may seem boring to show your food, but for us that do not live in the states, it is very interesting to watch :)) Thank you for always putting the videos together!

[@sharonsutcliffe]

Wow your blanket is looking fabulous. Look at your pups playing so cute x

[@gorettimartins3258]

So sorry re Chloe 😮 Also love the last scene with you and Eric and your hand knit socks. Doesn’t get much better than that.

[@CrazySockLady]

♥️♥️

[@diposs937]

Funny almost every time I watch your videos the ad is for peppermint mocha creamer.

[@BosomFemme]

Your crewnecks always look so comfy

[@user-mu5sb5rb2b]

Can I just say how much I'm enjoying Homespun House advent. Such lovely pinks, reds, and tangerine colors!! Your dogs are so cute. Dexter really wanted Gracie to play tug of war with him!!❤❤❤

[@CrazySockLady]

Yes! I can’t wait to see it worked up together in a project where it fades.

[@laurienowland8584]

I really enjoy the advents being opened each day. I’m hoping at the end of Advent season you will show all the yarn from each advent together. I have never purchased an advent and would really like to see them together so I can make an informed choice. I realize that’s not something you’re going to want to do on Christmas Day, but maybe after the new year! It would be appreciated!

[@camilledavis7088]

Loved today's music choices and watching the fur babies play!! Thanks so much for letting us in for a glimpse of your world. Have a great weekend!

[@karenmallory282]

We use the smart balance butter too. I use to use turkey bacon all the time. Now it has to be the real thing. I have a chicken Kleenex box. It is a long box.

[@janetgillett7122]

So relaxing, just sitting with you and knitting my scrappy advent socks. Blessings to you and your family ♥️

[@suzettegaybba-vanzyl6484]

Morning morning Thanks for a great vlogmas The advents your baggie so beautiful See you tonight

[@clairenason4869]

Homespun house looked like the same color everyday until I realized it is slightly darker.

[@CrazySockLady]

It’s a fade, so it’s gradually changing. 🧶

[@jananselmo9391]

I have never seen the Avocado Now pouch - I am so excited to shop for it. I noticed a squirk of green on one of your salads and wondered what it was. oh yummy. I will snurf around and find it - guessing in the refrigerator section. Thanks for sharing.

[@CrazySockLady]

Yep it’s usually in the refrigerated section of the produce area.

[@julieplougmann7951]

I also love primal kitchen. I get it from Thrive.

[@batlynn7178]

thank you so much for doing vlogmas and sharing your life with us! i've looked forward to these everyday

[@maggiemoot]

I really enjoy your vlogmas!! ❤😊....It's my guilty pleasure at the end of the day!! Thank you for sharing. 😘

[@carolinedubose5136]

Your little reindeer is so stinking cute! Look at Calvin trying to look innocent on the table!! That was so sweet seeing Dexter, Gracie and Calvin on the sofa with Eric!!

[@marcysharit9504]

The kind of butter I use. I eat eggo pancakes with fresh strawberries. Lunch 1 or 2 slices of bread with smart balance and deli sliced turkey.

[@CrazySockLady]

Yum!

[@gleannemarie]

Kay! Your vlogmas is always a favorite- thanks for all the hard work. What Bible study are you doing?

[@carolg5770]

Oh my gosh, I love watching Dexter and Gracie playing. Makes me miss our dogs-they used to do the same thing. Well holy cow, I learned something new-squeezable avocado. Someone was a genius to think of that. I'm going to have to keep my eyes peeled for that. We love avocado too and that would make it so much easier than picking the perfect avocados from the produce section. I just knew your striped socks were going to be amazing!

[@JudySanza]

Thank you! ❤

[@Angieloves2crochetandknit]

Ha I just went down a plastic canvas rabbit hole because of you. I'm going to make a minecraft one and a spongebob one. I have two boys. ❤thanks for the idea.

[@cheshirestripes8059]

I love watching all the beautiful yarn and surprises. The only thing that tops that is seeing your adorable furbabies. I have 4 rescued cats, so pet photo bombs are always my favorite part of any video 😊

[@annegraheck5713]

❤❤❤those fur babies

[@lizellinger4336]

I love those Christmas socks more and more every episode!! ❤

[@elaineenstone6834]

Great episode. Love the animals. 🇬🇧

[@julielandy9162]

Same here. Cleaned snd waxed floors. Now time to knit!!

[@lorrainelambert9001]

I love getting up in the morning and getting the housework done and if it’s a work day cooking the evening then sitting down and relaxing with my knitting or crochet 🥰

[@kristinahill3708]

Beautiful vlog. So nicely done 💕

[@Craftingbug92]

Thank you for sharing all of the fun goodies so far this season. The dogs remind me of my 2 dogs, one likes to try enticing the other to play by putting the toys right in front of her and then taking them and running. It's so fun to watch.

[@HedgeWitch13]

Loving today's advent yarns.. just wondering if it's a thing?..if you could send all those little cloth sacks back to A Homespun House to be used again next year and in return you got a little Advent discount. I wish I'd got your motivation today, I feel like I've gone round in circles and achieved very little, so it's definitely time to get my favourite WIP out and relax!

[@CrazySockLady]

Nope, not aware of anything like that. I reuse the bags myself..

[@tinakercher8768]

I ordered a tissue box cover when you were doing yours in years gone by. They are adorable!

[@elainewailgum2393]

The reindeer charm is the cutest!!!! Thank you for the videos!!

[@kimgourley2723]

I remember that Santa!

[@Lynettencknitter]

Thanks again for inviting us into your home! I really enjoyed the music you chose today!

[@knittingyarn1975]

So sweet watching your dogs playing.. I enjoy seeing everything you shared.. merry Christmas

[@Tinacrafts2]

You DO have choices for more tissue boxes! I have “Tom the Turkey” and a nice bird house one for Spring. All from Mary Maxim. Yep, we want to make all the things in my house too! 😂

[@Melanie-Jay77]

Hello Kay, love your Santa box cover. Beautiful! Loving you Advents and Vlogmas!! Love your Nativity !❤

[@susantobin719]

Your husband cooks.😊 you are so blessed. Loving your vlogmas.

[@lindapearson3340]

Love all your plants. They look so healthy this time of year. Love watching your dogs play. I do plastic canvas too and I love the tissue box covers. Yours is so cute. I do not have a Christmas One. Both of your socks are so cute. Your house looks so cozy all the time. Enjoy your evening.

[@cindymswyo]

Your Love Story socks are on my list, I have everything ready, just need to get Christmas stuff done first.

[@rhjaltadottir]

omg your dogs playing together, how stinkin' cute!!

[@vadec5909]

Your Grinch socks are so cute! Both your socks and Eric’s are lovely. I love the dogs playing and the kitties watching. My girlfriend has 2 dogs and her daughter moved home with 3 cats. They are all getting along. I need to see if our groceries stores have the squeezable avocado, that’s a great idea. Alberta doesn’t always have the same things.

[@ericallerton809]

Thanks Kay,, Sounds and looks like a great breakfast sandwich,,,, And Lunch! Sweet dogs playing together,, Love the hand knit socks at the end,,,, Elaine🏘🎄 Your blanket is looking so great,,

[@marissas8112]

The legacy fiber arts colorways are so good this year! Also, I don't know their name, but you black cat is GORGEOUS!

[@rosimom]

I like the squeezable avocado. We don't get that in Canada.

[@jatraveler1277]

Thanks, nice day. I am knitting my YARNABLES November color. I looked for a nutmeg for contrasting cuffs etc. Settled on a garnet/ red and it is looking outstanding. First year doing Vlogmas.. ❤

[@quiltingirish4561]

The Ptivate Selection milk chocolate salted caramels are amazing 😋

[@sunrhyze]

Those dogs look like great friends. Also, it's probably my imagination, but I would swear that the Homespun House yarn looks exactly the same, every day. Is it just me?

[@CrazySockLady]

It’s a fade, so they are gradually changing.

[@sunrhyze]

@CrazySockLady Oh that's funny! Wish we could see them all side by side. I was starting to feel like I was being gaslighted 😆

[@Cheryllynn331]

First time Vlogmas watcher and I'm just loving yours!!

[@CrazySockLady]

Thank you! ♥️

[@joanmachado9063]

Great video

[@GentleStrengthHolistics]

Your black cat seems to have a special bond with Eric :) Its so cute to watch. He always likes to be in his lap . How did your kitties come to you? were they rescues?

[@CrazySockLady]

Yes they were rescues

[@janadachingwa9234]

Your dogs love to play together. See you tomorrow. Walk in Peace.

[@stitcht78]

Love your tissue box holder! I've crocheted one that looks like a gingerbread house. Twinkie Chan has a bunch of free patterns for them! Edited for the kitty shot!! Are they both black cats? I have 2 black cats and a brown tabby. Black cats are so full of personality. I just love them so much!

[@EvieO1950]

My breakfast looks like yours except I need to find the squeezable avocado!!! 🥑 ❤

[@CrazySockLady]

It’s a game changer!!!!

[@sarahlocke4069]

we love love love love love primal kitchen everything too! but we've had the problem lately with the creamy or dressings that they're so thick we can't get them out of the bottle. have you had that experience other than this? love your videos!

[@CrazySockLady]

YES! I think that’s how I ended up pouring so much. 🤣

[@acrochetersjournal]

Oh I love your dogs lol

[@acrochetersjournal]

And your sweet kitty!

[@Melanie-Jay77]

Dexter ❤😂

[@blindrootinhogs]

CUTE puppy play time !! Whats your workouts you do ? Your inspiring and disciplined !!

[@CrazySockLady]

Monday & Friday I run 20-30 minutes and lift weights for 30 minutes. Tuesday & Thursday I do a high incline walk for 20-30 minutes and lift weights for 30 minutes. Wednesday I run for 20-30 minutes. Saturday I do a high incline walk for 20-30 minutes. Sunday is a rest day. I use Madeline Moves app for weight workouts. Her weekly moves program.

[@blindrootinhogs]

Wow ! No wonder you look in great shape !! I'll check out Madeline Moves , God bless !

They are from LL Bean.

[@CrazySockLady]

Yep I did.

[@Sg33k]

I was wondering if you still add collagen to your coffee? I started adding it to my coffee after watching your vlogs last year. I feel it really helps my nails and hair growth. :) Btw, still enjoy your videos and vlogs!!!!! Thanks for sharing with us.

[@CrazySockLady]

Nope, I now take a collagen gummy by The Elderberry Co.

[@debbiegrundy9781]

Hi, just wondered what your opinion is about circular sock machines? I love hand knitting socks but obviously they take a lot of time. I’ve been looking at CSMs recently but the really cool ones are very expensive.

[@CrazySockLady]

They aren’t for me, as the joy for me is in the process of knitting. But everyone should do what works for them.

[@debbiegrundy9781]

@@CrazySockLady I absolutely agree. I'm just anticipating a time when my osteoarthritis makes hand knitting too painful 😊

[@RunWithHooksNYarn]

I wanna see yarnable socks!!!!

[@CrazySockLady]

I haven’t started knitting with this months yarnable yet. 🙂

[@souffle53]

Are you not putting collagen in your coffee anymore? You kind of introduced me to that routine 😊

[@CrazySockLady]

Nope, I haven’t done it in my coffee in ages. I now take a collagen and biotin gummy by The Elderberry Co.

[@kezmez1464]

Does having such a short distance between your swift and winder effect the cake at all? Make it looser or tighter etc

[@CrazySockLady]

I don’t notice a difference.

[@nicolepantojas]

What kind of cookies do you like? I see you grab some with coffee sometimes :)

[@CrazySockLady]

I’ve shown the brand we make the most on an earlier Vlogmas video. Sweet Loren’s cookie dough.

Hello Kay. I was woundering where is Chloe your third dog. Thanks for sharing your daily routines. 😊 Greetings from Germany, your longtime viewer Anja

[@CrazySockLady]

Chloe recently passed away.

[@NailzFairy]

@@CrazySockLady I am so sorry. I liked her a lot.

[@jackielaskowski4010]

I’m sure it’s my mistake but it looks like every day the Homespun House advent yarn is the same - or extremely similar. Is that true, Kay? Perhaps this year’s advent is a gradient of the same color?? The other companies are all very different each day but that first one you open looks the same every day. Thanks for clarifying. Peace my friend!

[@CrazySockLady]

I mentioned in the 11/30 Vlogmas, I think it was, that the homespun house is a fade this year. It is gradually changing daily.

[@paulashattuck5983]

Are you doubling your advent yarn or are you holding something with it?

[@CrazySockLady]

Doubling the advent yarns.
