I’ve been thinking about making some for my daughters who both go to college in cities that are much colder. You have inspired me to find some yarn and make it happen. Thanks for that!

    Hi Gary! 🙋 I'm catching up on videos again, I've missed you! 😊 I love the cowl, I think it's cool how it tubes up like that. The hat is beautiful as well. Your color choices are always amazing. I absolutely love the Lion Brand Jeans yarn. I just made a beanie with the vintage (gray) color and it came out beautifully. I do think it's a bit on the thin side for a #4 but it is so darn soft (4.5 for an acrylic) and it worked up great for me. Although I did use a 4.5 mm hook for the beanie. I also used it in a scarf using a 5 mm. The vintage gray is my new favorite yarn. I do have it in stovepipe (heathered black) which I have yet to use. But did notice it is a bit thinner and more loosely plied than the vintage? 🤔 I'll get back to you on that. Can't wait to see your future makes, I do like your color choices for both the shawls. Pixel is such a cutie! Til next time! 🤗💛

    Oh! I just love the fingerless gloves. I really need to get better at crochet. I've heard that a lot of people love that Jeans yarn. I've never had the chance to use that yarn. I wonder if it would be less splitty if you knit with it.
    I agree yarn and yarn related tool sales on Black Friday were not that great.
    My husband and I watched All The Light We Cannot See. I enjoyed it. The book is on my to read list. Did you know that the girl/woman who played the main character is actually blind. Also, this was her first time in a movie. I watched a short interview that was done with the director and a few of the actors.

    • @urbanyarn

      I've just remembered I knitted with Jeans yarn from Lion Brand about 2 years ago and it didn't split as much with knitting - but crocheting it tight like the way I did for the gloves meant getting into tighter stitches and it didn't work out that well.
