KNITTING + SEWING: Self-Diagnosed Multipotentiality

[@rachelwaltman8898]

YES I’m loving the overlap between the knitting and roller skating community! Both are so welcoming and fun. I’ve been obsessed with Tommi’s monthly skating vlogs and I’d love to see similar content from you❤️❤️

[@Voolenvine]

So glad you're enjoying, Rachel! And yes!! I can make that happen. :D

[@julialucas6626]

My making/ creative process is wherever it takes me. Yesterday was working on my crochet granny stripe blanket, today baking raspberry & white chocolate muffins and vanilla biscuits with Smarties (bigger than M&M’s) mixed into the batter. Hopefully have time to alter the length of 2 skirts so I can wear them this week. Sometimes there is no mojo!! Love your creative craziness. Mine is similar

Your Zephyr Dress looks great Kristin. Have fun skating!

[@wendyw9712]

Wow! You’re doing great with the skating! Love your skater dress too . 💕

[@alisonbarrow5711]

Roller skating!!! How exciting ,you go for it Kristen.Thankyou for taking me right back to the roller skating rink in the early seventies when every Saturday we would skate around in our rented white boots to the music of the day then buy a pink milkshake.My dad and I won the pairs spot prize(where a spot light would shine on a random couple) as we all skated around with the coloured disco lights adding to the atmosphere) No protective gear at all but when we fell on our bottoms we just got up and carried on😂

[@littlebigknits]

You will never be bored for more than five minutes!! That is a great benefit of multi-potentiality!!

[@francineoleskiw9200]

Your customized roller skates look awesome! So does your new Zephyr dress! I love how you share your enthusiasm about your new interests with us. I can’t wait to see your Sidar sweater when it is all done!

[@zoedvega3923]

That is what a maker is all about.. maker of all things. Sounds good to me.

[@helenfountain7554]

wtg girl! I admire your adventurous spirit. :)

[@spinningdreams]

Omg so much whimsy in your life right now! I love it! Your skates are perfectly decorated! 🙏🏻🤩

[@mistyblue5312]

Hi Kristen! First, that dress! Yes, make more. Really suits you beautifully. Several seams that you can use for your Sirdair - flat seam or the bickford seam.... to name a few. You look great on rollers so I have no doubt you will make an amazing ice skater too ....😃😉

[@meganwolfe8529]

I love the progress you've made already on your skates! The personalization you've done to them really suits you.

[@Voolenvine]

Aww, thanks so much, Megan. I'm pretty chuffed with them 😋

[@LB-kq9xs]

Oh my gosh i want them too! I love ur roller skates. Good for u to try new things 🤩

[@amymikelson3060]

Your Sidar sweater is going to be gorgeous! Glad your sewing mojo is coming back. Good on you for the roller skating! You look pretty darn good to me! Take care!

[@MemeandDadoOntheMove]

Great episode and I love how you embrace all that is new. Very motivating and enjoyable to watch.

[@emlymom]

You go girl!

[@lgbinkley]

Your skating is so exciting. It made me consider chasing the rabbit but I think I'll just enjoy you for a while. Love the dress too♥️

[@Voolenvine]

Thanks Linda! Hey, I'll leave the hole open just in case you ever wanna dive in. 😋

[@anneleonas7813]

Fascinating video! Love your creativity! 💖

[@VisitWithNanaAndPapa]

It does bring joy to see your smile.

[@half-caffcrochet]

That dress looks store bought--such a polished item! I learned to rolled share when I was 8 and still love to do it. So fun! ❤

[@Rebelmusedesign]

Love the roller skating! 😊🖤⭐️

[@TheCrimsonStitchery]

I love the leopard skater dress! And also how you customized your skates immediately, hehe

[@Voolenvine]

When presented with a blank canvas ... 😁

[@DynamiteTrujillo]

Half pipes are pretty fun thoooo...... 😜 Your skate palette is wonderful!! 😍😭

[@Voolenvine]

They look it! Don't worry ... I'm workin' my way up to it. Just you wait! 😆 And "Skate Palette"... is that what it's called? Brilliant! Thanks, Lady! 🖤🖤🖤

[@pattyskaggs2168]

Wow❣️ love the skates...they are So pretty...what fun you are going to have on them. Not that I want to wish my life away..but only to be young again ..lol 😊

[@woolaroundtheworld]

Hey. Good you found a new rabbit hole that excites you. You should try out the ice skating ring as well. It is amazing. Always was my favorite sport in the world. And you can use all your hand knitted items like hats, scarves, and mittens. Have a great weekend. thanks for all your videos

[@Voolenvine]

Oh I totally intend to! It's been so long since I put on a pair of ice skates. I used to do it after school, 2nd, and 3rd grade! So glad you've been enjoying, Granualie!

[@racheld8843]

I skated for hours every week at an indoor rink when I was young. If you start developing blisters, try Dr. Sholl's moleskin to cover and protect problem areas - works great!

[@Lisamakes]

Ponte is pronounced Pon-tee. Although it’s actually an Italian word that is pronounced “pon-tay” in Italian. Generally, though, sewists call it “ponty” :)

[@Voolenvine]

Ooh! Thanks so much - good to know! :D

[@Carmen-bu3gx]

Nawww no Halloween content from our fave (ex?) goth yarnlady?

[@Onn.ovejanegranoruega]

Me encantan todos tus videos

[@megpadovani8726]

I saw you had a surged edge - what serger do you use? Do you find it to be better than zigzagging on a sewing machine?

[@christiraney5939]

Any info as to how I can find a necklace like the one you're wearing?? It's all I can look at in this video :P

[@Voolenvine]

Thank you! It's one of my favorite pieces. I purchased it a while back from an Etsy shop that is sadly not making jewelry anymore. :/ OnceMagnificent on Etsy if you're curious.

[@davidhensley76]

You'll need some hand-knit gloves to match your winter skating attire. *nudge, nudge

[@janetjroberson2581]

Hello from Mounds Illinois.

[@manonborst4769]

Do you have any tips on working with a twin needle. I love the finish it gives, but when I work with a twin needle the needle breaks every 2 minutes..

[@Voolenvine]

Great question, Manon! Hmmm... Depending on your machine, you may have to fiddle around with your tension. Also, make sure it's threaded correctly. I thread the spool that is closest to the front of the head of the machine through the left facing needle and the spool behind it, through the right. Something else that may help, make sure you start with the needle(s) in the down position before pressing your foot on the pedal. I hope that helps/makes sense.

[@cheskydivision]

Once you feel comfortable on your skates you can wear them running errands instead of riding your bike.

[@Voolenvine]

That is definitely the plan! 😁

[@sophieinspired]

The title is.. hmm.. IMO.
