Thank you so much! And you're welcome :)

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! My interview is on Wed.

Thanks I'll give that a try. When I looked it up it said I couldn't do it.

I agree. He treated this years much more like his annual knit a long and the pattern is beautiful and relaxing (If you don't mind lace). I'm getting ready to record my next vlog today to release tomorrow and I'll show off my progress.

That's a great Idea! Thanks!

They ended up a bit dry unfortunately. But the flavor is good.

I'm really happy with it! I just wish I realized how many yards there were in these LOL. I had to pay shipping twice because I needed to go back and get another skein so I have enough to do anything with. There was enough for a cowl but those are just too hot here in AZ. Wraps are okay because you can easily make more space around your neck with them or slip them off. It was 84 here yesterday and 78 the day before.

It is. I don't make it that often though because it's really sweet.

Thank you me too! The Stephen West box is a lot of fun.

Awesome! Both are productive hobbies to have.

It really is. It's always fun.

It's already feeling better which makes me both surprised and happy because it really stung and hurt there for a day. Guess I did the right thing to heal it up.,

Bummer! Hobby Lobby will for sure have this stuff. Sometimes walmart does and sometimes they don't. They tend to have the cotton, but maybe not the needles you are after or the stitch markers. Unless they are sold out, Hobby Lobby should have this stuff. They have their own line of yarns which are decent and pretty affordable also.

Thanks! Me too!

There is! I'm turning the bones into broth today. I'll probably have to freeze some of the Turkey.

Lol right! His name is Sir Benjamin. He belongs to my son. He's a pretty good cat.

Thanks! It was good. We had leftovers last night. Today I'm going to roast the bones for broth to can.

@theokiestitcher This can vary a lot on the person and pattern. Most charge by the half hour or hour. I have a pattern that has charts and written directions both, due to it being lace, which was over $60.00. I have another that is much more simple, which was around 25. Keep in mind I average around 5.00 a pattern. Then PayPal takes a cut, and if it sells really well, ravelry or the hosting site will also take a cut. So after PayPal, I make around 3.50 on a 5.00 pattern, and less if the host site takes some. Considering the hours of work, the yarn expense, and then the tech editor, most designers are very lucky to even get out of the red.

@ it doesn’t sound worth it to me. Would you have to do all that if you sold it on Etsy or something like that?

@@theokiestitcher Any time you sell a pattern, and not the finished product, (unless it's super easy) it will require a tech editor. You are charging money for a product. That product needs to be accurate, in an easy to follow format, and contain all the required materials and stitch abbreviations. Even the most practiced pattern writers use tech editors and many tech editors use other tech editors to go over their own patterns. It's just so easy to miss a stitch or typo a number and like most things, if you look at your own work long enough, you never catch things like that. Messy, inaccurate patterns will give you a pretty bad reputation. I wish I was perfect enough to never make a mistake in my pattern writing but unfortunately that's not the case :) LOL.

Go get the printout from the website and download it to your phone :) thank you for watching!!

I'm excited to make them! I'm working on "the items you will need" video now.

Thank you! I'm going to do Crochet tutorials after the knitting ones. There are a lot of them out there already though. You just have to start and I'm sure you can accomplish it!

If you ever get the chance you should visit the Winchester House. It's unfortunately kind of expensive but worth it and I'm sure the upkeep on the house itself is extremely expensive.

@MixedTapeFiberArts I'm sure. I would totally pay it especially if there's a guided tour or ghost hunt.

Thank you!!

Thank you so much for the well wishes. We are on the mend!

Thank you!

Today is Saturday and I'm starting to feel better. I'm putting up a new episode now and hopefully by the last Vlogtober episode I'll be pretty back to normal. HAM radio is fun and most importantly when cell phones and computers don't work, my radio will (even without power because I have a battery back up for it). They relied heavily on it during and after the hurricanes down south because a lot of places are remote and all other services had gone down.

Oh you should! Just make sure you are using safe recipes. Anything from Ball or a University Extension office will be safe. I use a Ball recipe for the chicken. It's "Raw Packed" and then I just add some of the dried seasoning called "The Blend", which is a mix of Salt, Pepper and Garlic. It's a lot tastier then buying canned chicken for sure.

I'm so glad you figured out what was causing yours and that they are under control. Ocular migraines are incredibly annoying and frustrating to deal with. I meant to mention in the last comment that I used to cross stitch but stopped when I had my 2nd child. It's just too confusing for me to pick up and put down again so I set it aside at that time. Then I took up crochet and then knitting afte3r my daughter was in the NICU and that's the end of that.

@MixedTapeFiberArts I can see that. Cross stitch takes more attention unless the outline is done and it's just fill in. I bet crochet and knitting is better for those types of stressful situations cause your hands can work without looking at it after a while.

@theokiestitcher exactly 💯

So sorry I just saw your comments! I've been down with Vid. I'm glad you are enjoying them. Puttanesca is an Italian tomato sauce. Traditionally it's diced tomato, anchovies, lots of garlic, olives and lots of olive oil. You can't can oils safely, so I use a tomato sauce base and add olive oil when I re-heat it.

100% promoting the hobby LOL
