Hi ! I'm not a garment knitter, well trying to do a slipover and its taking me ages, but have you tried the provisional cast on. Very Pink knits does a good tutorial for this. It's using a crochet hook. I crochet left handed but knit right handed. xx

It’s good to see that you’re feeling much better than in your last video! You had so much to share today and so many things to look forward to! Definitely good to only make whatever brings you joy. In my gnome-knitting phase I made over twenty of Sarah Schira’s gnomes 😂 and definitely got that out of my system! Your yarn bombing event sounds like a lot of fun and I look forward to hearing more! Take care xx

Hello Ashley I have just found you & enjoyed your style I follow Alli LDOW Ellie Craft house magic ( who got me into RUclips knitting vlogs 7 yrs ago Gayna TFCLPaula Stitched by Mrs D ( who lives not far from me in Norfolk ) to name a few I look forward to seeing your heirloom dolls ❤

Just found your podcast! Is that wallpaper behind you or real drawers? I love it! If you enjoyed Lisa See, you may like Wild Swans by Jung Chang It's also a beautiful story of women in China. Sometimes disturbing, as you mentioned.

I am a little the same, I only knit things that I enjoy making. I refuse to knit anymore cardigans, never happy with the tension. I would have done Arne &Carlos knitted stocking if I hadn’t been ill. A frustrating thing for me is casting on for socks. I’ve made several pairs but the past week do you think I can join the first row using four pins. I think I shall have to arch a few cast ones on RUclips. I’ve knit up a few hens, rabbits and toys this past year, but haven’t sewn any of them up. Most of my knits are charity layettes, adult blankets etc on a regular basis and because they are for a good cause, I am happy to make them. Sounds like you have multiple hobbies like me. Tfs 😊

Just found your channel. I'm trying to learn to knit... I have aspirations of knitting lovely things however it's a learning curve and will be years before I can do anything. I can crochet, I'm a leftie so I'm hoping knitting will widen my pattern choices. I also dabble in lots of other things such as papercrafting although that's on a back burner at the minute whilst my knitting takes over! How exciting winning cardmaker of the year. I used to really enjoy card making until I found junk journalling then yarn crafting 😊

It’s called a double twisted cast on for the ranunculus. I use it all the time and it works great. I’ve made six ranunculus and now I use the cast on for socks as well and it’s really stretchy. It’s perfect.

All the best for 2025 x

Happy New Year x

😀💕xx thanks Ashley. Great podcast.

I have knit 4 ranunculus ,I use the cast on using a crochet hook have a look sun dragon tips for the ranunculus she shows different cast ons and covers tips for the sweater ❤

Hi I’ve made 4 Ranunculus and just do a normal cast on using the wider neck stitch count and they are all fine ❤

Hi! Ive knit several Ranunculus & i always just do a long tail cast on 😊 I have generally just cast on 90 stitches to start & then did the rows of ribbing. Hope this helps! Give it a go and see what you think about the size & the look. I definitely love my 5 Ranunculi 😁

Happy New Year, good to see you on this thundering Sunday afternoon. Currently working on a Tin Can Knit Bestie Hoodie for my granddaughter. Of course got lots of other projects on needles and ideas floating through my head at the same time. Take Care till next time ❤

I think gnana looks wonderful and your chosen colour way is so nice, well done! Xx

Happy new year Ashley wishing you a very happy healthy one ❤

Look forward to seeing the animals as they come to fruition. The ballerina shawl is gorgeous. It looks so soft that one can image the feel that you described. I so enjoy seeing all the beautiful things you have made and are working on.

Love this video! Gorgeous finished projects, love them! Thank you so much for sharing, take care x

Happy new year. Excited to see you pop up. All your finished knits are gorgeous. I did Gnana in the same Giddy yarn as apart from I didn’t have the sparkle base. I prefer my gnomes out of her book (definitely worth buying the book) more although I enjoyed the faux embroidery etc all new techniques. I have just read easy reads over Christmas - the Christmas women’s romance type xx

Happy new year Ashley, hope you get fully well soon. I cane down with a cold just after Christmas, so didn't do as much crafting as I wanted, currently working on a crochet ginger biscuit garland for next year and staving off the temptation to make a granny square mini chicken! Love your finished objects. Over Christmas I read "The Christmas Appeal" by Janice Hallett which was a quick, fun read! Also listened to a great radio 4 play called "Miss Happiness and Miss Flower" about a dolls house, lovely!

Happy New Year Ashley, hope it's a good one for you. You're looking very much better than you did last time, sorry you were ill. the ballerina wrap is gorgeous. xx

Hello I'm knitting in Korea. You're so good at making it!! I'm trying the same thing, but it's so hard to get my feet and legs up, so can you take a video of the process of completing the feet?? I beg you.

I’m only just catching up with my RUclips friends after rather a busy December… and sorry to find out that you have been poorly - I do hope you’ve recovered now and were able to enjoy your family Christmas! x

Hi Ashley, glad to see you’re on the mend, easy does it and all that, who cares about a few specs of dust. I also watched Breeders, I thought it was fab, Martin Freeman is a legend. Look after yourself, I hope you and yours have a lovely Christmas 🎄☺️

Hope you are on the mend Ashley, best just to ride it out at home in the warm though I do hope you made it to knit night! Take care, Tish xx

Sorry you’re still under the weather. Hope you’re better soon. It’s horrible when you’re sick and have brain fog that keeps you from being able to do what you’d like. Hope you’re better soon and your family have a merry Christmas even though you’re feeling poorly.

Great vlog lovely, feel better soon! Thank you so much for sharing, take care x

Hopefully see you next year at Layfamily - if you have booked the same week as this year. I've also succumbed to that awful virus. It's a hard hitter. Take care and Merry Christmas xx Z

❤❤❤❤

Like the interesting stitches. Hope you have a nice time at the events you want to attend.

Your gnome is looking fab so far, love the decorative stitching! The local art gallery sounds very good too!

Great vlog as always, love seeing your progress and hope you have a fab time at the workshops! Thank you so much for sharing, take care x

Looking forward to seeing how your mkal comes outxxx

I didn’t have a mini skein advent but I have bought the Toft advent for a second year running. I am thinking perhaps next year but they are so expensive, that isn’t to say that they are not worth it given the effort and work the yarn dyers take in designing them but I just can’t justify that coming out of the family budget and also I don’t want to treasure it and never use it!

No yarn advent or MAL for me, I have enough trouble trying to fit in watching all the vlogmases and finishing gift knitting! I have signed up for a few MAL patterns on ravelry which I may take a look at in the new year, I am just too busy in December!

You make that look easy, I can just about manage cable cast ons!

I cast on with just my thumb

You make something that is so hard for me look like it’s easy. Wish it really was easy for me.

I don’t knit, just do same look knitting occasionally, so I have no need really for the equipment you used to make your balls of yarn. But I would love to have them just to make the balls because it looks so relaxing and fun. I don’t really have room and would never loom knit enough to make all the balls of yarn that would satisfy my need to do it, so I won’t get the equipment. Maybe I need to find someone that knits a lot but doesn’t want to wind the balls of yarn.😂

Hi, no I don't have a yarn advent this year unfortunately. I have lots of mini skeins already in my stash!! In the past I have had the My Yarny Corner one, which is always beautiful. I don't feel pressured at all, if it gets done that's fine. I don't really like mystery kals, I like to know what I am making beforehand. Please don't feel pressured to vlog every day, you are working and like everyone, have millions of things to do this time of year. Short ones are appreciated. Take care xx

Love your vlogmas, don't feel pressred at all, whenever you post, we will be watching, thank you for sharing, take care x

How lovely that you are making some Vlogmas videos - whatever you manage to upload will be great. Short is good! The mystery gnome KAL sounds quite achievable - I did a Sarah Schira gnome KAL two or three years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. However, as you say, trying to do too many makealongs can definitely become too burdensome! I've never had a yarn advent before but this year I have a crafty one - the Ricorumi crochet advent calendar... but I won't put any pressure on myself otherwise it will no longer be enjoyable! x

Hi, nice to see you doing vlogmas x x x I have the lay family yarn advent... you get 4 packages week one etc... Gorgeous yarn well worth it.. I also have my yarny corner a small business whom dye their yarn at home, daily package so far the mini skeins are so beautiful they also have a you tube channel , This is my first year having these very happy, last year I had one from the crochet society which was lovely to... May I ask you what yarn swift you are using I have a Amish one and some skeins are to big for it... .. I wish company's gave an option to have the skein or have it already rolled ... I don't enjoy preparing skeins, I know some love the skeins but I am sure some out there don't also... I just want to use them lol.... have a good rest of the day looking forward to your creations
