I made the cell phone cover for my Nokia cell phone-the one with the antenna (remember those?), and I made the devil's hat. I made the tank top from the sequel, and tried the basketweave scarf out of it. I made the purse many times from the Happy Hooker, and I still have it. I also crocheted a washcloth that I still use to this day for when I'm cleaning my bathroom. I also made the skull sweater from the first Stitch n' Bitch. I threw it away. I also crocheted two hats that used beginner basics from a pattern that I got on the Internet, and from another crochet book. I made crocheted fingerless gloves, and I couldn't wear them.

They are all the same

Hi from a native of Wantagh!

I’m just learning how to knit and wondered what was in the knitting boxes so thank you! I have been crocheting for several years and am advanced. At one point, I was gifted a few months of the crochet box and I loved it, especially the yarn. But I wasn’t impressed with the way they wrote their patterns. Even the beginner projects seemed confusing at times. On that cross body bag I think they left out a whole step. I knew to do the step, so I was fine. But if I was a beginner it would have been really frustrating. Eventually I stopped doing their patterns and just used the items in the box for whatever I felt like making.

Hi, I just found your channel so I am unsure if you jave tried any of the projects but i would definitely go for trying yo crossbody or makeup pouch as I feel you can get more use out of those 2 products. So if you have not tried them yet please do. I would love to see a video on those or an update on how well the instructions were and the final look of the product.

The spindles are beautiful. What brand are they??

I just received my first box last week and when I saw your first box was the same as mine I got the same idea. No matter when you order you start from the beginning box. I love the knitting one too. I also enjoyed your content!

This is how I feel as a knitter trying to crochet 😂

I received my knitting box today it was pretty different. I received a beautiful scissor. I'm glad to not have the markers I have, so many never lose them. My yarn it was from Italy beautiful one.

The yarn is gorgeous but I’m super disappointed in the projects. I’m looking to get back into both crochet and knitting. After a 50 year hiatus. At first, I thought this box would be just what I’m looking for. When I was a teen and took a class (in the 60s), my first crochet project was a baby sweater and hat and my first knitting project was a cable sweater for ME. Like I said, disappointing. I’d be wasting my money.

If you crochet, you know we lose our hooks all. the. time. lol Then we have to hold off on our project until we can get to the craft store and buy another hook so I’m pretty sure that’s why they sent two of them.

You mentioned being far behind in podcasting. Well I'm this far behind in watching podcasts 😅

Finding this two years later as Mum's rhodies are dropping blossoms all over the yard and wondering - how colour fast was this?

Thanks for the post. Does the ammonia have to be clear? I have just poured in some cloudy before I realised that it may be different. Cheers Pat nz

Omg that was fun seeing those goofy patterns. I really want to make some sleeves, probably never wear them but so much fun to make all kinds of styles!

I also started knitting 20 years ago. I played the flute in middle school but am no expert.

So funny, I just did a croc&et basket tutorial video with t-shirt yarn. That stuff is a pain to work with and I have been crocheting for over 40 years. I love my end basket but I think my next one will be with regular yarn. Oh and by the way if you pull for beginning tail you can close the hole and if not weave the tail back around the ring and then pull it(I see you figured that out). Also if you work fully in the round you would not have the line up the back, you can see what I mean on my basket video or my yarn bowl video. Your basket looks great.

You're doing great! I have crocheted baskets before, and part of the difficulty is actually how tight the stitches are because you need some rigidity to the cloth. The stiffness is accomplished by using a hook that is a bit small for the yarn.

Okay, that was so much fun to watch- especially the bonus ending! I had a cardmaking blog way back (also collected scrapbooking supplies-that have never been used), even became a certified Copic colorist/instructor, before knitting, and knitting turned into my therapy/obsession after a really difficult time, too. Amazingly I don’t have Stitch ‘n Bitch, but I do have the sock book (and still have some Lorna’s Laces). 😆

Pop Pom of same natural color would be perfect ❤️🐑🧶

I don’t seem to have Stitch ‘’n Bitch Nation but I have one called Superstar Knitting published in 2010. That original book though is the best how to knitting book.

That rainbow shawl is glorious. I'd love to see a video of how you dye with mushrooms, and which species give which colour.

Lovely woman. But TMI and repeat comments most of us just want the facts and compact instructions. Hope this is helpful to build audience. ❤️

I knitted the Octopus and I put tip protectors on one end of the knitting needles! I’m thinking of making another one!

Some people twist the top first! I twisted then pulled up! Yes it’s stitch markers

Stephen has a lot of jealous distractors in the knitting world. There are indy yarn dyers who have had long poscasts blasting his designs while pushing the designs of their friends who only use their yarn. This was bound to happen. I have been watching his enemies going after him for years. It is very sad to see as he happens to be a good egg. Very generous and kind. I met him before he was famous and he hasn't changed a bit. I have multiple handmade quilt with blocks like this and as a Midwest boy i am sure that he is inspired by the same quilts.

I spun with Bergschaf wool for a fiber study project I’ve been working on, and you can find that specific video on my channel. You did a good job pronouncing it!

First of all, the depth and saturation from the possibly new mushroom (I’m not even going to try to spell it-haha) is unreal!! And the box of bunnies, I seriously can’t wait to see you knit those up!! 🐇😍

Did you use the meat or the shell or both of the acorns? I loved that color.

Being a Virgo says Everything!!!! ❤

The Woolly Thistle has an order coming soon. If you add yourself to their wait list, you will get an email when in and can buy from them.

Hello and thank you for this super useful video! I found you because I am knitting my first ever garment, a very simple shrug, and in SPITE of having made a gauge swatch, it looks like it would be more suited to an eight-year-old... 😟 I’m knitting it in Drops Nepal, and at the nearly halfway stage, I can’t face ripping it out and starting over. You have given me some hope!! 😌😌🙏🏼🙏🏼 My question is, isn’t superwash yarn not supposed to be blockable…? Or have I TOTALLY misunderstood that…? 🤔 I absolutely love your sweater, by the way - what a beautiful knit! 😍 Mae

Great video!!! I love natural dyes ❤

That’s pretty yarn!

I have angora fiber to be spun from Bay Haven Short Tails. It's been in my stash for YEARS now 🤦🏽‍♀️ I haven't worked up the nerve to try it out yet. I love that you're more willing to give Owen coffee than you are to give it up for a day 🤣 You can always go with half caff for both of you! That's what I do in pregnancy and breastfeeding time

I am going to shamelessly copy your color order to make a cowl from my mini set! Love love love your painting rainbows 🌈 ❤

❤

Love your sense of colours!

My heart melted for the moose with the sweaters! Thanks for sharing your projects!

I am so glad you changed up your Paradise Fibers. I have been doing mine alongside a workshop update. I knew you didn't get to yours very fast and I was going to message you to say you needed to open this month's as it was so pretty. Oh and I weighted mine and they are 3oz each.

Dropping down to fix a cable is scary, but not hard! You might want to use some of those swatches you're going to frog to practice dropping down and reknitting.

Do you have a complete tutorial helping how to knit Hedwig? I have the book, but its complex for me😢

Just picked up my oldest WIP, started in February 2014. Hope to finish it before the ten year anniversary 😆

Hi Lisa. That green yarn is beautiful. I hope you are able to find something to knit with it. A new pattern using one of your completed gauge swatches perhaps?

Don't be afraid to fix your cable, it's easier than you think. If I can do it, you definitely can!!!! 😄

Hi Lisa! It was fun to see those projects again! If i was sitting on your couch with you, I'd recommend using the beautiful green yarns to make a Lento (said to be a nice quick knit). I'd help you fix the Lights cardigan, too.😊 But in lieu of that, I have two suggestions. 1. Knit up a cable swatch with some scrap yarn. Then practice dropping down just the cable, and reworking it (maybe include one or two stitches on either side). Good confidence booster. 2. When you work on the actual cardigan (which I'm confident you will), use a tapestry needle and waste yarn to run a life line where you want to stop frogging back to, so that you don't accidentally go too far. Do it one morning, when you feel fresh, will be alone for a couple of hours, and there are no other stresses. It's a daunting thing to undertake, but SO satisfying when it's done! Wishing you happy and successful knitting, Lisa! Best wishes! (Oh, P.S. sorry to say, I prefer no background music when you are talking, makes it harder to follow you. But you keep doing what makes you happy 😊)

Seeing your excitement to finish things reved up my Knitting mojo. I don't think I will do a WIP round up since I did one recently, but do think I will be focusing on finishing things this year

I would say pick a fabric you like and search for a pattern with that gauge

So happy to see you again Lisa!

Knits are very beautiful! Color work combinations were amazing.
