I must say your videos have become my comfort watch and a weekly source of inspiration, especially because of your creativity and drive for learning whether it’s knitting, journaling, pens or music. I especially appreciate your sense of style and your hair too of course! As an aside, I was telling my partner I suspected you worked as an art teacher/teacher and I was delightfully surprised you were. Much good cheer and solidarity from a fellow public servant and happy holidays ❤

Nice cover. Enjoy the time off and life.

Thank you for sharing your time with us. I hope you have an amazing holiday season.

Socks are so much fun! They aren’t boring at all and I love knitting with 5 needles. I use wooden needles.

Love your video!! I miss that road, I miss Arizona! Here it’s cold and humid, oh well… take good care of yourself!

I always enjoy your videos. They make me smile. 😊 I’m glad Bryan got to stay home from the trip. With him just being so sick recently, it’s good it got cancelled. I hope you don’t get too sick. Lots of vitamin c, broth and rest. Take care!

That shawl indeed looks like a part of you! I think all teachers get exhausted by the holidays. I now teach at a childcare for a private university, and have been sick/losing my voice all week. It’s hard to not have a voice when you have a class of adorably needy two-year olds! My job has better work-life balance than K-12 teaching did, but it’s physically taxing, plus I’m taking college classes again. It’s so nice you get two weeks off! Rest up and enjoy. Oh, I also have a Pendleton coat, 80% wool-a Christmas present from my husband this year. He doesn’t get why I’m so exhausted during the holidays, but he does get me what I ask for😆

I think I have the same head cold right now. (Also a teacher.) I hope you feel better soon! I’m so glad you get such a lovely break to relax and refresh yourself. Your gifts all look so cozy and lovely.

That roasted squash looks delicious! Could you share the recipe please? 😋

the colorway of those mustard-cuffed socks is gorgeous! Nice choice. There are some excellent double-pointed needle rolls on the market. I have one from Della Q that I love. Also the large circular needle case from Della Q is tremendous as well.

These "Vlogmas" videos are great. So cozy.

I would love to see the acorn squash recipe, if you have the time and energy to pin it. It does sound like a great recipe for potlucks.

I hope you feel better soon - it's no fun being sick, especially over a holiday. I'm with you on the Karbonz needles. I have a set of DPNs from them and I really dislike using them. I'm used to ChiaoGoo steel needles, so I don't like the "drag" of the carbon fiber part. I think I'll give the steel Chiaogoo DPNs a try. :) Happy holiday season to you!

Hello from Pinetop we would love to have the recipe very yummy dish ❤

Looks like Hacienda Del Sol Rd., N. Tucson in the Catalina foothills is so scenic to drive through. Happy Holidays! 🎄

Alicia, please take a peek at Twin Aura Knits Vlogmas if you get a chance🎄🎄🎄🧶 One of my favorites🎄👍. Fun🎉

I think that everyone is getting sick by the end of the year, I am on the final stretch with work this week as the university closes on Friday. Hope you will feel better soon and enjoy this lovely time before Christmas :)

I love how the content of your videos vary, makes them more enjoyable to watch! I do hope you feel better soon ✨️🤍

Sorry to hear you're feeling sick. Hope you perk up for Christmas! 🎄

Feel better soon! Your knitting is lovely and what a special gift to receive something knit with love.

lovely video

TFS. Hope you feel better soon 🙂

Thank you for inviting us in to your life. Echinacea is what I take when I have Man Flu 😊

The pancakes look seriously delicious!

Is that a Pendleton jacket you are wearing? I have a vintage one that was my mother’s, different color way but so, so similar.

❤❤

Hi Alicia - I’ve meant to ask for some time if Bean Is still OK ? I mostly watch your pen videos so apologies if I’ve missed any updates . I seem to recall Bean in your Minnesota trip but guess he’s an old man now so 🤞🍀 he’s still OK. Lovely to see Fig 🐶 and the team.
