Hello Angie, so nice to watch your 12castons videos! I am sorry that you have to be alone over the holidays, i hope your lovely projects can distract you a bit :). I have now casted all 12 of my 2025 cast ons and i am very happy and excited to work on them! My 12castons are: the sweetshop blanket (also a scrappy project), vanilla socks, the starflake shawl, the wave market bag, the towards north hat (finished), the edgar slipover, a self-designed beanie (finished), the stripe hype sweater, the qawn chorus CKAL-Blue tit Cushion, the cosmo cardigan, the melt shawl and the early waves cowl. I really hope everyone has as much fun as i do! I have been only using yarn from my stash which is amazing! Take care!
Thank you so much for joining in with all 12 cast ONS. I’ve loved seeing what you’ve been making, and I can’t wait to hear how you get on with all of the projects in the coming months. I’m so happy you enjoyed casting on and LOVE that you were able to use stash for everything too 😃🧡🥰
The shawl is lovely - I am enjoying the videos and am feeling encouraged to cast on more projects! So far I have started a Step by Step jumper and a Weekend Hat but will now shop my stash to see what else I can use to start other things along with you all.
I am up to Day 8 of cast ons and really enjoying this knit along. This is my first time participating. I recently cast on the 100 Squares Field Guide afghan, Scrappy Lumbar Pillow, Chickadee Cowl, Nightfall Doll, and an Emotional Support Chicken. Still using stash. Woo hoo!
Thank you so much for joining in Belinda I’m so happy to know that you have been enjoying casting on. You have such a great selection of projects there 😃🧡 And yay for using stash
Such a fun shawl! I finished my cast ons last Monday - 1) Gingerbread Sweater 2) Kaleidoscope cardi 3) Duotone Cowl 4) Scrappy Socks 5) GAP-tastic cowl 6) Blueberry Waffle Socks 7) Winston Pullover 8) socks with gifted yarn 9) Zarya shawl 10) Great Northern hat & Lightning Fast Mittens 11) Springbound Mitts 12) An Italian Autumn Cowl 😅 That was so much fun! Usually I get the feeling I need to work on everything that I’ve cast on at once, but the 12castons give me the freedom to concentrate on just a couple of projects - I’ve been sticking to them (mostly 🤭) and it’s great to know what to grab next and see substantial progress!
I up to 10 now! Never thought I would get this far. Hope you are reunited with you chap now, it’s tough the caring thing. The first Elmer sock is on the foot, it’s barking mad- you would never wear it to walk anywhere as there are so many seams! Take care of you .jan
Hi Ange. Love the new shawl cast on. A scrappy shawl, just up my street. I can feel a visit to ravelry coming on. I cast on the aeria shawl, and some granny go round socks. I've been working on my epp scrappy hexie quilt. I started it during the summer of lockdown. Almost 5 years on its getting to the size I'd envisioned. Hopefully, by this summer, it may be a quilt. Take care. Xx🌈💕
Ooh, might use my advent calendar for this. It comes with a fair isle cowl pattern but am on three colour work projects already so this would make a nice change.
I was watching the Crazy Sock Lady and she showed a mini sock and I thought that would be fun for caston#4 as a year long project with maybe 2 or 3 a month for a Christmassy garland using leftover sock yarn each time I finish a sock or using scraps from before. finished the first one today, so a good start. thanks for the vlogs. Jane
My goodness I’ve been tempted to join in too. I’ve cast on the Glowhair Frost Shawl, Coorie In Poncho, restarted the Sweet Shop Blanket, almost completed the Stormseeker socks and have cast on another 3 pairs since Christmas. 😂. I hope your partner gets back home soon ❤
That looks like such a fun shawl!! I love playing with colour in knitting!! I'm knitting my Heritage Harbour as I watch. It's so exciting to see it grow. And since I knit a lot of fingering weight yarn, it feels like it's growing so quickly!!
Anything heavier than fingering weight always feels like it flies by doesn’t it 😃 I saw that you uploaded a new podcast so I’ll look forward to catching up soon
Love the shawl! I'm up to 11 Cast-Ons and will have my 12th tomorrow. I've been mostly casting on socks lately. I've cast on a Same As It Ever Was hat for my older son, 2 pairs of plain vanilla socks, and the Tweedle Toes socks.
Oh I know you recorded this two weeks ago, but I hope it's okay to send you a big, big hug still! I'm sorry that James couldn't come home as planned and I hope that everything is okay. I absolutely LOVE the shawl and the yarns you picked are so pretty! (I'm also sending you a big cheer for taking care of yourself on that day and picking someting that made you smile.) The pattern is absolutely fabulous, I'm gonna go and have a look. It's really perfect for leftovers! ♥
Hi Ange. I was so glad to see you casting on this project. I bought this pattern to use my advent minis. I was really enjoying knitting it but I decided I'd prefer the larger triangles to each be one full colour. So now I am making the Just Feel Festive crochet shawl with my minis and then I will start the Scraponnacci again. Thanks also for letting me know how to pronounce it properly. 😊
Good choice with your first color, a very happy one! Sorry you are by yourself, I think a good bottle of Chardonnay is in order (I might be having some myself as I’m watching and knitting). I cast on the Ammil beanie with some yarn I was gifted at my birthday adventure Vogue knitting destinations Santa Fe. I haven’t decided how to count it yet because I’m cheating this year lol! Cheers my friend! One day I will visit wales and meet you.😊
Hello there! I’m one who is following along and cheering from the sidelines. Not doing all the cast ons but I did start a couple of days ago and hope to finish in a few more days the Cozy Knitter 2024 advent socks. Enjoying the show!
Aww Angela what a hard Christmas and new year for you …. I hope things settle down for you soon …. I have cast on a crowberry sweater using stash nutiden yarn and a pair of vanilla socks using yarn from your shop for my son’s birthday in a couple of weeks . Xx
Hi Ange! Lovely to see you as always! I am all cast on! All twelve! So so exciting to be making a plan for all of them. My very last cast on was the Garter Marler! I have 9 other projects, so only 21 WIPs! Take care my friend!
I still need to do four cast ons. I am warping my loom, I am gonna make washcloths of cotton scraps. I intend to spind alle the wool I swapt as an advent calender with the danish spinning giuld, and I am considering knitting those pants I have been wanting to do for the last 25 years :)
Hi !! Happy New Year!! I’m still working through wips, but will be casting on Dazzler, sweater on cover of Laine mag 23! Just waiting for white yarn , already have MC ! Also a hat from Nordic knits , Ase ‘s cap, it’s a quick knit with Alpaca 3 from Isager , a lovely yarn to knit with and very easy on hands! Also probably another Lento sweater, I’m trying to pick easy patterns as still have wips languishing in closet😂😂 love these vlogs , very inspiring as always!!
Happy new year Nancy. I hope your white yarn arrives soon so you can get that sweater going. 🤣🤣 at some point I might have to come clean and confess just how many wips I have languishing 🧡
I only have four projects left to cast on. I'm sorry your New Year plans didn't go ahead. We've been unable to celebrate New Year since our ginger cat died NYE a few years ago, but since we do go out of the house much anyway, we're happy to stay home with his sister Suki. Maybe one day we'll celebrate again, but if we don't, we don't. I look forward to seeing your Scraponacci as it grows! 💜🧶💜🧶💜
Aww sorry to hear about your cat. We don’t really celebrate either but this year as we’d missed Christmas together we were hoping to make NYE our mini xmas celebration but it wasn’t to be. Never mind hopefully n xx year will be a bit better 🤞🤞🧡

Ooh what an epic project your epp quilt will be. I have so many fabric scraps I really should have a go at making one too
Ooh, might use my advent calendar for this. It comes with a fair isle cowl pattern but am on three colour work projects already so this would make a nice change.

Oh that does sound like a really fun project Jane and what a great way to have a little keepsake of all the pairs of socks you make too 😃🧡
Love seeing inspiration to use up those scraps!
It’s always fun making something beautiful out of leftovers isn’t it 😃🧡
My goodness I’ve been tempted to join in too. I’ve cast on the Glowhair Frost Shawl, Coorie In Poncho, restarted the Sweet Shop Blanket, almost completed the Stormseeker socks and have cast on another 3 pairs since Christmas. 😂. I hope your partner gets back home soon ❤

Scrappanocci looks like a fun knit!! It will be interesting to see how it goes. I'm still casting on, but need to post on IG. And yes, one is a gnome.
Always love to see some Gnomes pop up in the cast ons 😃🧡
