VOOLENVINE: Waiting For Christmas Socks, Bellwoods Hat, Beaded Gifts, and More!

[@MrsKWheatley]

Hi - I really appreciate the diverse yarns that you knit with. I'm on a really tight budget and can sometimes feel sorry for myself when I watch podcasters using incredibly expensive yarns that I can't afford. Your enjoyment of budget yarns is very affirming, so thank you x

[@Voolenvine]

Oh no! Please don’t ever feel that way. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with working with yarn that fits your budget-it’s all about the joy of making. 🤗 Honestly, acrylic yarns have come such a long way in terms of quality and feel, and there's nothing like a good bargain! 🧶💖 Keep doing what works for you and makes you happy!

I clocked the Bernat Fluffee yarn recently and definitely have noted it for a pattern or two from my queue. It is so soft! Excited to hear about your experience knitting with it.

Great video as always exclamation point I love the Bellwood hat. I am always in honor of your beading. I’m trying to hold off starting another hobby.. believe it or not I finished my fruit garden blanket🎉🎉🎉🎉 I just need to weave in some ends and take final pictures. It may be two years later, but she is a beauty.

Hi Kristin love your positivity and sense of humour. I’ve just finished a beanie by Joji Locatelli that’s a freebie. It’s very pretty with a wee twist. I really like the jumper you’re wearing so I’ve put a note on my ravelry to investigate the pattern some more Thanks for sharing 🙋🏼🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Your earrings are beautiful! 🖤 Margot looks fantastic in her Quill Shawl. I'm nervous about knitting with roving but your Bellswood Hat's stitch definition looks amazing! 🧶 And yes, the pointy tip hats have grown on me as well. I hope you find your Oslo Hat!

[@Voolenvine]

Thanks, Roshelle! The Lions Brand roving didn't even feel like I was knitting with "roving" - honestly it never crossed my mind. It just felt like knitting with chunky single-ply. Not sure if that helps?? 😂

Pretty tree.

[@Voolenvine]

Thank you, Sandy! Lots of handmade ornaments from friends in there, too! 😄

[@Goalema30]

[@Voolenvine]

Thank you so much, Caroline! 🤗

[@pairswellwithknitting]

I'm so flatted you've knit the Bellwoods Hat! It's become a staple accessory in the chilly weather for me and thrilled to hear it's joined your cosy fleet!

[@Voolenvine]

Thank you so much for designing such a wonderful pattern, Jennifer! I definitely see more in my future!! 😄💖

[@Brooke2000]

I love the Waiting for Henry socks! I have to get your cider yarn. Beautiful colors. I knit a couple of pairs a few years ago.

[@Voolenvine]

I can see how addictive the pattern can be! And thank you, Brooke - I should have more "Sparkling Cider" in the shop in the next update 💖🤗

[@bigkaffy8495]

Thank you for an excellent video. ❤

Kristin- I got the yarn that I ordered over Thanksgiving (which I totally forgot about-happy mail surprise!!). I literally GASPED, the yarn is soo pretty, I'm in love!! I got Faerie Hair and Rose Caliente on blitz. They will be hoarded for something very special!

[@Voolenvine]

Yay!! SO happy you love the colors, Miriam!! 🤗💖 Happy knitting!! I hope you'll share what you make 😄

It was 5°F here in Vermont when I went to the store tonight. 29° is like summer. 😊⛄️🖤

[@Voolenvine]

Ooof! Stay toasty!! 😆I travelled to Montreal a few years ago in February and it was -20ºF! I never felt anything like it. 🥶🥶🥶

[@alekfelis]

Miss your Vlogmases . But wish you Happy holidays!🎄🤗

[@Voolenvine]

Aww! 💖 I miss making them too, but I haven’t been up to much festive stuff during the holidays lately. 😂 Wishing you a very happy holiday season, Alek! ☃🎄

Hi Kristin, I knitted the same Fjolla with myak yarn, in size 5 and I followed your mushroom sleeves. My Fjolla fits like a glove, I made it a little bit longer than instructed because I like my sweater not so cropped. I have a medium/big chest for my size (34 DD/E) and I didn't find any problem with the fit in the back of the sweater.

[@Voolenvine]

Mushroom sleeves FTW!! 🙌😄 So glad your Fjolla fits and you love it! To be fair, I might be over-thinking the back shaping on mine.😂

[@trishasmith1758]

Hi Kristen! What tutorial did you use for learning the fish lips kiss heel? I have always used the reinforced heel flap, but I am interested in this technique. Thanks!
