Thanks Pirjo. This virus seems to be taking forever to go. One day up, next day down again. Hugs xx

@@jennymiller4009 oh great Jen, nice to see you here… hope Bunny is behaving lol xx

@@marybarratt2649 bunny mostly behaves…mostly. 🐰

@@adalouellis5706 So very kind of you to take the time to comment. I do appreciate it. Thank you.

@TiaraLaceCrochet I'm a lot better Susan but the headaches are wearying. The Curiosity is soft and has many colourways though not quite as soft as King Cole Fjord. Helen has a lovely relaxing podcast and love her campervan trips. Thanks for dropping by x

Me too Mara, I was gutted about Phabeni and shocked too. I had no idea he was so ill. Just devastating. I know that in captivity baby elephants struggle against a certain virus, but you just dont expect fatalities like that in the wild. I couldnt watch all the video so I dont know what has happened to him - I know he wasnt putting on weight. No doubt the vets will give us answers. But I did cry too. It is heartbreaking. Hard losing two baby elephants in such a short space of time. Thanks for dropping by Mara. Take care x

@@marybarratt2649 I watched to the end. He just went away until he was gone. They did an autopsy and there was infection. Something about wild elephant babies dying from teething. Poor little Phabeni. Poor elephant family. Poor HERD. He sure was loved by all. 🐘🩷

Hello my friend! How lovely to see you here. I like The Little Wool shop, affordable yarn and good quality. How ironic that you have ordered from them too. I know you crochet are you a knitter too? It is all I feel like doing if I’m out well as I don’t have to think too much. Thanks so much for dropping by. Would love to see you video again. Miss seeing your makes. Take care xx

Not sure if I qualify as a knitter, I have only made a couple of things, lol I am certainly not at your level. I am just starting a new crochet blanket called Spirit of Flora by Janie Crow. Thank you, maybe one day I’ll return to videos. xx

Will video your ATC soon Andrea. You should show us your gloves from Lynda. It makes a change to do a bit of knitting though I should be finishing off lots of other projects. Feel less tired today thank goodness. Tfw xx

@@marybarratt2649 Glad you’re feeling a bit better Mary. I showed Lynda’s gloves on camera, it was a while ago now. xx 😘

Hi Carolyn, thanks for dropping by. I’m less tired today.. when I videoed this I still had brain fog!

I love Aran. Never knitted any but would like to give it a try. I’ve just sent for two items from The Aran Company, beautiful knitting. I did knit a cardigan this year, but it looked as though the dog had made it, so I undid it. Hope you are keeping well Sylvi. xx

@@marybarratt2649 thanks trying best to look after our health.Take care happy knitting😀😃😃😃

You are so kind Pam. Thanks for dropping by. x

It is lovely of you to drop by R. I know how busy you are. I quite enjoy knitting and crochet these days, no stress. Bless you for the prayers x

I thought you were quiet Monique. Please get well soon. I miss your lovely videos. Much love xx

Thanks Chris. ive really been out of it. On the mend though but still spaced out. xx

@@marybarratt2649 💕💕💕

It is a nice easy introduction to weaving. I know it is only simple stuff - as a child I wanted one of those big looms you can sit at, but I have never managed that. Thanks for dropping by and hope that your niece gets some satisfaction from having a go.

Hi Senka, so nice of you to comment on my little needle book. People have been so kind. Thanks for dropping by.

Hello and thanks for subbing. I made up the vine pattern and the fuchsia pattern is in a book that I have. If I can find that out I could post a copy to you. Spellbound beads have a kit for the fuchsias. Leave me your e mail address and I will get back to you.

​@@marybarratt2649 Thanks Mary, that would be much appreciated. Is there a private address that i can email you on or do we have to use this publuc one?

Hi Mary Thanks for getting back to Mr. Is this a private or public message, I've not sent a message on KZfaq before Kind regards Lorraine

Public .. assuming anyone reads this. I don't know how to do private.

Nonna that is so very kind of you. Ive had some lovely comments about this and all very much appreciated, especially as it a first attempt. Ive started another but am fitting it in with other projects Im involved in. So kind of you to look in.

A few weeks work but I enjoyed it. Thanks so much for your kind comments. I must make another. It was so nice that people were positive about it.

Thank you Barbara, it is always good to get positive comments. I appreciate it.

Thank you. I appreciate your taking your time to view.

Thank you for dropping by and commenting. I love her work.

So nice of you to comment - I do thank you for that. It is about time I made something similar I think. Thank you for watching.

I dont do beading tutorials as they can take a little too long unfortunately and I dont have a lot of time these days. Thank you for your interest though, I appreciate it. Mary

My husband made mine Gertrude. Ive seen some for sale on Ebay, but they are a bit expensive. Easy to make if you are handy with a saw and drill. Thanks for dropping by.

Thank you Diane. i always appreciate good feedback, especially on something Ive not attempted making before. Many thanks for dropping by.

Bless you. Nice to see you here.

Thanks for your lovely comments Norma. I may start making a few more in the Summer - see how it goes, I put a lot of time into my projects. So nice to get feedback.

Bless you for that.

Thanks so much for subbing. Another crafter asked me to do a tutorial for this. I may do one if I can remember how I made it up!! TFW x

Thank you for dropping by Lynnae, so kind of you to leave me positive comments. Much love x

Thank you Bonnie. I agree, some crafters draw it out don't they .. not sure why... I like to get to the point. Im not sure people have a great deal of time to tune in to videos, so mine are always relatively short. Nice of you to comment and hope you get into weaving on your loom. x

Well because of how great you’re video is @@marybarratt2649, I did start working on my peg loom and it’s going very well and it’s so easy and relaxing ☺️

Ive never made anything to sell but if I manage to do another I will let you know. This one took me a few weeks to make. Thank you for your lovely comments, I do appreciate it.

If you follow exactly the tutorial it is self explanatory. When you begin with the yarn , leave a bit of a tail so that you can weave it in afterwards . Is this what you mean? I tried to make it as simple as I could, so hope you manage to master it. Tks for watching.

Thank you Nan. I have started another one, just hope I manage to finish it. Thank you for looking in.

Thank you Sheila, thank you for watching and commenting. Much appreciated.

Thank you so much for lovely comments. It is so kind of you.

Stella, I did put up a tutorial, you will find it in my videos. x

Thank you for watching. I was surprised at the number of views I got on this particular craft.

I forget sometimes that it was men who originally did beautiful embroidery and sewing, as it was thought too difficult for us women. Ive known a few men who outshine women in that department and create beautiful work. Many thanks for stopping by and commenting.

I put mine in the same direction, as it closes better. I did try one on the diagonal, I got it to close but it pressed into the outer linings and left marks. Tks for watching and hope yours turns out well.
