Fun episode. Proud of you. I think you should smock the white handmade choir robe pheasant top. My flowers are up for grabs. I know a little girl who loves to pick them. ❤ Pickle pants are a very big yes!😂

16:58 I love your pickle pants! 100% would wear. ❤

I am totally here for the pickle pants!

I can confirm that hydrangeas are a pH sensitive flower and acid makes pink. Also, pretty sure your marigold + iron really is marigold. The green looks like what I'm familiar seeing with marigold + iron.

How did you not sneeze?😂

Maker Math!! I luge that! Lovely tank top! Good luck with the sewing!! You’re doing great!!

Ive been wondering about that patons linen. You'll have to let ne know how yiure liking it!

I think the Dandelion stitch is PERFECT for a vertical top (side to side) creation!! I’m here for the tank pattern release! Re stripes: you could have 3 stripes on each sleeve (bicep area on one, lower arm on other) and/or lower body stripes (3 to match…or not)! Stripes, for some reason, seem to make knitting work up faster…hmm Your sewing is great! Only you can see the “oopsies”. Math-ing is everywhere, and I love playing with math. My problem is trying to create (using knitting) a 3-D vision in my head & then mapping out onto paper (2-D). Pre-internet, pre-RUclips… I did a lot of library research, and called on friends who had kids in high school for their math/geometry/ knowledge! Thanks for another peek at my new fave: Dandelion stitch! Underarm shaping is (or can be) a challenge, especially for a tighter fitting garment. Can’t wait for a tank pattern❤️❤️!!

Mine is still not working

Oh, I thought 1. This was a tutorial 2. Cosplay ish wings/cape, not a scarf thing

Its great to be original and creative. I knit & crochet. I prefer knitting because it's finer and uses less yarn. I learned much from patterns & zoom courses to make a few cardigans and tops. Enough to go further on any Ravelry knit. I used to sew and learned from mom as well in school. That was last done 30 years ago! I recently gave my girl my machine and bought a new one for myself. I joined as well a sewing course that teaches pattern making and styling as well before the sewing steps. I am on my 3rd class of 14. I highly recommend investing in something you love to do. And learn & frog till you understand it. It takes time and experience. Goodluck. It is Fun.

You're a trip girl. Glad you're back. ✌️❤🧶

Just cut your daughter some PJ pants from the fabric in the dysfunctional pants. The PJ pants are fine! Nice work! Keep going!! Sorry the crochet designing is so frustrating right now. Hope some patience and motivation come your way!! Take a breath and take care!

Thank you! Do you have a tutorial for your beautiful scarf?

Hear you! In the past, I made a thing (knit) that could only be tried on when shaping etc was complete. Frogged many times, adding adjustments… No. More. I’ll make a top or sweater w a true pattern, modifying after to suit. Can’t help you with sewing. Perhaps a nearby fabric shop has classes? I really like the tank tops! I plan on knitting a top/camisole or two (well… have yarn + pattern ready…) My problem: I’m mentally modifying the pattern BEFORE I’ve made the thing. Sheesh! Because fingering weight, bottom up (so no trying on til done, boo-hoo), and maybe I’ll crochet a top, much faster! But, that gauge & size bit … sigh Keep trying allll the things that make you happy! Eventually you’ll get the sewing figured out! I bounce between knit and crochet when those frustrating “oopsies” or “ugh” fit issues crop up. Knit issue? Crochet a tote or basket. Anywho, good luck & be sure to have fun!

6:39 I love the no pattern/no design coming projects ❤ I’m in a similar stage as well, just making simple things for enjoyment.

Citric acid and vinegar are not mordants. They are binders which change the pH of the water (more acidic) to help the colour bind to the yarn / fabric. But this effect doesn't last, so the colour will wash out or fade pretty quickly. Real mordants assist the dye to chemically bind to the yarn/fabric. Also, you should always keep jars, pots or utensils used for dyeing separate to those you use for food. You talked about safety and then used hydrangea which is toxic!

PJs. Kitties. Yarn. Yup! I watch whenever you post! Had to laugh re counting… yes, I too forget how to count. And I mean between 2 and 15. Sheesh. I’m working on a picot bind off (shawl)… CO 2, BO 4. No audiobooks or vids, until I finish. Which is okay, cuz I ALWAYS have ends to weave in (socks-lots of), always have easy-peasy pick up whenever project (which includes more socks)… Flower Fields… love those bright happy colors in the shawl! Now I want that exact color scheme! Surely there’s something in stash, right?? maybe? Baby bootees are such fun! I made up my own (garter) pattern years ago & keep in a ziploc bag. Handy when I see/meet a wee little one! Thanks for a few giggles, inspiration, and kitty!

Having the hardest time catching up with podcasts, mom life lol. I’m so excited about the upcoming design with that beautiful yarn! I recently treated myself to the Knitter’s Pride Sweet Affair needle set. It also comes with a full skein of yarn and 3 minis, I couldn’t figure out what I wanted the main yarn to be but I think this shawl pattern might be it. It’s mainly green yarn with pink, white and blue. I hope it’ll give the same meadow vibes that your yarn does! I’m crying at the diaper changing chicken! That’s hilarious

Your entertainingly funny and honest, I’m new to knitting socks so I’m enjoying listening to your sock journey. I’m from Garstang U.K. and impressed you have West Yorkshire Spinners yarn over there 🧶💕

Thank you for the information on the Staple Linen Top!

Bella, I love you. This fixed my winder ❤

I bought your cute scarf pattern but I haven’t gotten started yet. Excited to make it bright spring colors!

This video has provided me with much-needed clarity. I'm thankful for the wisdom imparted in this video. What inspired the theme of using natural dyes to create rainbows in your podcast episode, and how do you incorporate this theme into your crochet and knitting projects? As someone who runs a dream interpretation channel, how can the colors and symbolism of rainbows in crafting be interpreted in dreams? I appreciate the creativity and unique content of your podcast, and I've liked and subscribed for more inspiring episodes.

Yesss! Meadow, field of flowers, Summer… ahhh! When I’m actually looking for short color lengths, nope! And vice versa! Which (of course) leads to More. Yarn. Funny Chicken/Not Chicken story! Kids will play w the thing, no matter! Their imaginations will work just fine, whatever the critter looks like! Also, fun to make !!

I think the variegated yarn is awesome with the dandelion stitch!!

Ty so much!! This is the best tutorial for this stitch

This yarn and the dandelion stitch are just perfect 😍

Thank you! This is the first time and I was unable to get the second screw to budge at all. I was able to force the larger gear plate back into place though. Again, thank you so much!!!

the bottom screw on mine isnt budging any advice?!?!? i have the exact same winder and no matter what i do it wont loosen

Thanks it worked! I did take the second screw all the way off and it was no big deal.

Any machine needs maintenance and upkeep.

Everyone’s scarfie’s are beautiful. I must purchase the pattern 😎

Totally agree w your intro re acrylic = crochet … I crocheted for a gazillion years, taught myself to knit, now have a decent (ahem…) amount of stash, and lovin’ all of it! I’m glad to see you promote crochet items that are “different” than the usual crochet bits. I enjoy ALL things, but especially different crochet stitches (sc, dc, tc is fine…but…). Various textures (stitches) keep my interest in a project. I plan to get this scarf + Dandelion shawl pattern in very near future… I’m sure there are more patterns in my queue, & I look forward to making a whole lotta things! Thanks for creating patterns, sharing dye stories, all projects!

So fun that you’re excited by your pattern launch. Love that this is doable with different yarn weights and appreciate you figuring all that stuff out for us. Off to purchase!!!! 🧶🦊♥️🦊🧶.

So what ball winder would you recommended? My knitpicks ballwinder just died. I got yarn caught in it, so after opening to unstick the yarn. I found out that the clicking problem its always had, that sometimes would happen, was cause by the fact the gear plate inside is missing teeth/broken teeth and I now need to repace it.

I love magic loop for sock knitting, but haven’t tried the flyers yet. Dpn’s were confusing to me after learning on magic loop and my hands cramped with 9” circulars. I say use whatever gets and keeps you knitting ! Honestly, I l really love the low contrast colors on the first pair of color work socks you showed. I’d prefer that over a high contrast personality. At least on camera the pattern does stand out in a subtle way which is beautiful. The Sock Knitting Bible is one of my go-to books, but I haven’t tried color work yet. You’ve motivated me to give it a try!

Your new cardigan looks super cute on you, in my opinion and paired with the socks etc…. Even better!! Only you can decide on the other sweater, but I would not buy more mohair and finish it if you do not love it. Cut your losses and either frog it Or trash it. I don’t have patience for frogging and separating so I would choose to trash it. However, If you can enlist help with that then that’s the ticket! I am enjoying your content! 😀

How long does the color last? Light fade? Washing?

Love the Daft Days! I hear ya on unraveling multiple strands of yarn! Other ideas for the Mayhem: Frog, keep 2 strands as is, large to larger needles, make poncho or capelet thing. I’m currently using up a LOT of various acrylic bits, 2 to 3 strands, large hook, round sc baskets. Last 2 = 12” acr, 9” height. And yes, I STILL have some freaky yarn purchased in my early crafting days… I have donated/given away approx 4 lg garbage bags of misc yarn I’ll never use. I’ve made umpteen blankets, no need for more! Maybe others will have more ideas for the monster thing. If you can, separate the mohair, cowl? hat? I feel the pain!

No way I would order more yarn for that muppet sweater or start over again. I’d let it go and frog it and use the two yarns still together and make a pillow cover or table runner or sone other home decor. Love the stripey socks with the brown.

The best way to cut fur or faux fur is using a razor blade or an x-acto knife

Very nice job

Never apologize for self promotion... it's the way u help support your family and your craft.

Love the rainbow sweater! I think it looks great on you. Excited for your new Scarfie thingy pattern!! 🧶♥️🧶

Im so at a loss. I got my winder today and the first ball was perfect. The second ball came out gross and I checked the gears are connected fine! What am I doing wrong? :(

I love all of this :)

This is so interesting! I had no idea that you could knit socks. They all turned out beautiful! The one with the cats is so cute 😍

🧡🧶🧡

Very helpful! I finally convinced myself to start writing out a few patterns I’ve invented and posted, yet never tried to actually write. After many people asking me for the patterns and me not having them, I had to suck it up and start doing it! Lol. Thank you for all your helpful tips and suggestions!
