🏡 ooh how exciting Helen! I can’t wait to see your new studio! That is wonderful! So lovely to see ‘Take my breath away’ in the wild! It was our first dance at our wedding so very special to me! Love your love note! I watched most of this before I finished knitting mine and it spurred me on to knit faster! Thank you for sharing! x x

It's always great to see your selection of FOs. 😍 Your "basket" overfloweth, but has quite a few "almost finished" objects that will be in the next set of FOs that you show (speaking that into existence). 😉 Thank you for sharing, Helen. ❤

I just love the jumper that you are wearing Helen, I just can’t stop enjoying it ❤️. I’m very excited hearing the news about your up & coming studio plans too! It will certainly be a very different lifestyle for you as it will need you leaving your house each day. I do hope it isn’t too far away from home for you. The good thing about it I feel is, when you leave your studio, you leave your work behind you & you can hopefully enjoy your family life without interruptions 💕👏. The time is so good as both the boys are now at school which gives you a bit more time for your own things. All the best anyway & look forward very much to seeing all the progress & updated. Cheers 👏🤗😊💕❤️🥰😍😘

Thank you 💜 it's only about a 15 minute drive away so not too bad at all, and school and the post office are on the way as well so it's pretty handy in that respect. It will be nice to come home from work and not be surrounded by work still that's for sure and our house will feel a lot bigger!

Hi Helen. I have just watched your Christmas vlogmas. I am a sewist but wanted to do a relaxing hobby alongside it mainly because my husband complains he is a sewing widower! It has been 30 years since I last knitted but decided now was a good time to go back to it. I have watched a few knitting Google's but you're had been the first that compelled me to visit the shop and buy yarn to do a pair of socks. I am looking forward to receiving this month's disc world yarn later this month. Good luck with your shop move. 🏘

🏡 hope everything goes well with the studio, I'd love it if you started doing retreats, that would be amazing! The bundles of 10g minis sound like a great way to knit a Litmus cowl. I also really want to knit another Vertices Unite this year, I'm wearing my neon one right now and would love a more neutral coloured version. That's what I'm planning on using your Discworld club for, at least 5 skeins of it anyway 😅

Hi Helen, what exciting news about your new studio space! I’m sure it will be a fabulous new adventure. You sure made good progress on your WIPs. I’ve taken your wip-basket idea but instead of a basket I have a small bookshelf next to my “work-chair” and have all my project bags that contain working wips on the bottom two shelves of the bookcase. Until the next time. 🏡 🤞🏼👏Salam wa sa’aadah

Helen, this is so exciting with your studio. I really hope it works out. Also I looked up the Unicorn needles and apparently they are supposed to massage your hands while knitting. I am tempted to try the book you mentioned though I get scared at night really easily.🏠

Fabulous news on the studio news! Retreats would be amazing if that's a possibility. Love the colours on your marled magic shawl! Do you think it would work with advent calendar yarn? Have to tried the Land of Sweets cowl and follow your adjustments. Looks cozy! Good luck with the Studio space!! 🏚️

@GiddyKnits 6 ай бұрын

It would depend entirely on the advent calendar, but I can't see why not. The whole thing weighed 340g so of you had a 20g advent you'd have plenty of yarn.

@GiddyKnits 6 ай бұрын

Blocking does make a world of difference. Is it your first pair of socks? It could just be your tension, but maybe try going down a needle size if the fabric is looking a little loose and holey.
