    Thank you for acknowledging that Christmas isn’t sunshine and lollipops for everyone. Not many people do that especially online. I really appreciate your understanding. Your thorough instructional videos are incredibly helpful. I’m doing my first advent cozyknitter sock with your No Fear Shorty pattern and your shadow wrap heel. Thank you! ❤

    A light bulb just went off for the audiobooks between performance and being read to. What a game changer for me, thank you and you would make a great narrator! It is key to my buying an audiobook, always like to listen to the sample first. We are taking a more simple approach to decorating as well and we are just counting our blessings this year. Oh I love a book Advent calendar! Socks are a great idea too. The Six and Seven Fibers is wonderful and the note in each one shows the care and thought that went into each and every mini. So sorry about the scammers but glad you got it straightened out. Charles Dickens is a favorite in our house! It is great that you read to your son and that he loves it. Books were and are such an integral part of our boys lives and there is always a request for a book or two. Happy Knitting and a get well to your son.

    Thanks for sharing your time with us! While listening/watching I am also (finally) finishing up my October socks--yes, October (that doesn't mean November and December will be this month though--ha). All the yarns in your advent ❤I love the Christmas cast-on choice so much--it is so winter dreamy!! I have not listened to many audio books....I tested the audio on one the other day and it was a deal breaker 🤣 I decided to buy the book instead. I loved listening to John le Carré narrate his own books--it helped me to get a better sense of how to read his books when he was new to me (the tempo of his writing) as well as just having a great voice. You have a fantastic voice to be a narrator, too! Why not give it a go? Can't hurt to try? Or is it a "dream" that you enjoy being that only? Happy weekend and I hope your little man feels better soon.

    Love love audio books, listen while I knit. Libby, which supports my local library = win win !!
    Jim Dale … he truly is awesome!! I purchased all 7 HPotter cd books (from local bookstore), then I watch the movies whenever, sometimes after the book.
    I really enjoy the classics on audio (if I can find on Libby), just because & something different.
    Glad you & family love to read, you can travel to so many different places thru books (real or imaginary)!!
    Of allll the books I have read, there’s still a gazillion I haven’t. Kinda like knitting projects, right?!?!
    Thanks for sharing all the lovely things!

    Denise, watched this episode tonight. I agree about Jim Dale ‘performing’ Harry Potter! I did not read the books myself, until I had all 7 of them, and then binge read for about 2 weeks, but finally getting the audible book was pure delight. I binged them also, but think it took me longer. I love your voice, I’d be right there with your so listening to you read Dickens. Enjoyed this episode very much. I hope you and your family continue to have an enjoyable holiday/winter season.

    I'm so sorry that you had to deal with scammers. That's awful, but glad to hear you got it all squared away. You would be a GREAT audio book narrator .You have the perfect voice for it. I hear you about scaling back the Christmas decorations. It's just the 2 of us here and every year I seem to take less and less out. Yes indeed, it's so much more fun taking all of it out than putting it all away. Then the house looks so bare for a few days.

    Those advents, especially the Women in Literature, are perfect! And I used to read to my kids, long after they could read for themselves, which was just a special moment for us all. Enjoy your time with your boy, such precious memories!

  • @oceansoul3694
    @oceansoul3694 Год назад +1

    The Madison Ave. view and barrage of fantasy and 'how it should be' at Christmas often makes us feel so raw this time of year. We see the ads of the wife giving her husband a Lexus and we feel inadequate and it's easy to feel like a failure. That's why I love to knit for charity *mine is the Seamen's Church Institute, I give, and people are grateful. Gratitude is a great thing, when things are rough and life is painful, give. Give something, even a smile. It's the only way we'll all get through this really painful time on the Earth. God Bless You

So I do love that pattern, and I too am knitting the Cozy Knitters advent socks, and I am loving it! So much fun,I love doing the stripe a day.i am slowly decorating and it feels manageable, take care,Melissa.

    I love the making your own advent idea. That would be great for two friends to do- for knitters save leftovers and wind them into balls and exchange as an advent or a group of friends each buy little chocolate, share bags of tea, etc 💕💕💕 I love the New Years cast on, this year I work Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and December 26, so New Years I will be off and Asleep way before midnight lol but will cast on for sure😍

    Lovely to hear you talk about your Advent and your love of literature. Accents are interesting and important to a story. The English accent is seems to hold a charm for many Americans. Many years ago I was visiting Missouri to see relatives and we drove to a rural area. Whilst buying coffee I was asked to repeat my order so that they could hear the English accent. 🇬🇧

    I appreciate your comment about the snowflakes being for winter season! I don't celebrate Christmas, but I do enjoying decorating for winter. So I have snow people and snowflakes and gnomes. Things like that. Thanks for acknowledging that December doesn't mean Christmas for everyone. Also, I love the Advent you are doing with the women in literature. Maybe when its all done you can post a list of all the books and characters that they chose for that? It would be fun to see them all!

    I'm knitting the Novice Cardigan by Petite Knits, I'm a combination knitter, meaning not only am I left handed, but I knit thru the back loop for knit stitches, so when the instructions told me to M1R the result was a bit holey. So, I thought an increase around the neck doesn't need to face anywhere but down, and I decided to try the Shadow Wrap Increases that you taught and it looks beautiful! They're not obvious, which is what you want, right? Thanks for the patient soothing lessons. I hope to be trying that same skill on some socks soon. This sweater has a raglan sleeve so I know I'll need increases that show up in an attractive way, if you have any tips for me as a combination knitter, I would appreciate them. I love the advents, I've never done them, my family didn't do them, but I love the whole idea of a new gift or surprise to start the day for a month. What an awesome idea, especially if it includes new yarn!

    My Mom was/is the best book reader! I loved hearing you talking about reading to your kids… Many of my best childhood memories are of her reading to me. The WORST punishment my parents could give me was skipping my bedtime story. As I learned to knit, she’d read to me as I crafted well into my teens. There was one book series that required many British accents, along with Russian, Egyptian, American Deep South characters and she did ALL the voices 😂

      I do think many people realize what Advent is but many may choose not to share their celebrations or prepping on this public forum, out of respect for those that do not share the same faith or to maintain their private family traditions, customs, etc....Not to everything needs to be shared. And no one is required to prove their faith.

I’m working toe up and haven’t decided if my cuff will be the contrast mini yet.

I’ll be sure to tag you on Instagram when I post the finished sock.
