Not gonna lie, yoir WIPs/project bags piel.made me quite anxious 😬 😅 I never have that many projects on the go lol Your sci-fi colours look lovely, if you ever need more sample socks I'm happy to knit some 😅 Love the rubber ducky earings 🙂
@GiddyKnitsКүн бұрын
Haha it definitely gave me anxiety too, but a significant amount of those bags were actually projects that I hadn't started and were just yarn in bags, I probably reduced it by about half!

First off, Happy Birthday! 💖🎉🎈 Helen, thank you for this lovely vlog. I enjoyed it immensely. I LOVE road trip footage, because I’m usually the driver and don’t get to enjoy the passing scenery as much. The format showed real life as it happened. I’m not fond of the overly-edited vlogs. They seem unnatural. 😉B-roll music was excellent. I hope that Arthur’s tests turn out OK. ❤

Thank you, I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I've just picked up a gopro camera that I can hopefully mount on my car to make road trip footage easier!

I really enjoyed this video. Hope the final results of Jaspers test will be okay. We went for a vacation to the isle Mull in 2004 and I still remember it so good. We made a day trip from there to staffa and combined it with visiting the isle were the puffins were. Love it ! I still enjoy watching all your beautiful yarns, still crying about the whole brexit thing that makes everything from the UK so expensive 😢

It made me so happy to see this video in my YT feed. It was super fun, basically I just smiled at the phone for a full hour. Personally for me daily vlogs work best, because they feel easier to follow and interact with. I would have had lots of things to comment on but I would end up writing a wall of text. Nonetheless I really enjoyed this, and it would be amazing to keep getting them monthly. I think just some extra captions on the screen would be helpful, like date, day, time of the day maybe, location maybe. I would definitely love to see more of the garden and just in general I love the outdoors parts. And for sure some crafty snips. Happy belated Birthday 🎉 Your hair looks marvelous! PS: Blade Runner was based on Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Philip K Dick 😊
@GiddyKnits14 күн бұрын
I totally get that with daily vlogs, they're just not achievable during a busy month with having to edit and upload everyday. For vlogmas, I actively keep that month less work heavy in order to be able to get the editing done each day. But I'll definitely try adding some more captions etc!

Thinking good thoughts for Jasper. What an ordeal for him and, by extension, your entire family. I always enjoy your monthly vlogs, especially when there is a family holiday (or vacation as we say here in the States). If your boys wanted to include a JOTD (or I guess it would be a JOTM), that would be most excellent. When you showed the polar bear footage, it called to mind the episode of Derry Girls (brilliant show, but not suited for children) where the polar bear escaped the zoo.

I love your sweater. I crocheted the Be Bold Shawl by Tracy Mustard of What Mustard makes, with my fingering weight advent this year. I changed it slightly in that I used the minis for one section and the 100g skein for the other. And I just carried on until all my wool was used. It's all double crochet and a 2 row repeat. I loved making it, and I love that shawl it's so cwtshy and colourful. I will definitely be making more and can highly recommend it.

Hello, thanks for a lovely episode. Your vertices unite shawl is right up my street, I'm all about pinks, purples and blues too - you might even have inspired me to add itto my queue! For easy advent patterns, Hannah from Corner of Craft has finished one recently, I think it's called Fade into Christmas (it's crochet though, not knit). See you next time x

Hi Helen. Thank you for a lovely long episode just when I needed one! Congratulations on two large finished objects. Well done! Did you not have a list of patterns for advent sets somewhere? I’m looking for a pattern and have almost settled on either another Habitation Throw using 20 gram minis this time, or Helen Stewart’s Twelve Birds Shawl. We’ll see what I settle on doing. Right now it is too hot over here to knit on anything other than socks! Hope you all are enjoying the summer holdays. (It must be different now that your studio is no longer at home. Hope that’s working out alright. Until the next time. 🪐 🌌 Salam wa sa’aadah
