    Well, I’ve been watching you for a while and finally saw this series. You have to be one of the most (if not the most) talented yarn artist on RUclips. Your work is stunningly beautiful. Thank you for making such beautiful videos.

    I just finished a cowl in the Alpaca silk dk. Tiffany and sidewalk chalk. It was such a dream to work with. Just heaven. Your yarns are amazing. It is no wonder my stash is overflowing with EFA.

I enjoy crochet, but really like the look of knitted projects and the way the colorways look in knitting, so want to learn to knit very soon as well. Love your videos, your energy...and your yarns are SPECTACULAR....so gorgeous

Use that to select Auto-Translate, and then choose your preferred language. RUclips will automatically translate the closed captions for you.

    $23 for a skein of dewy dk? Needing 7 skeins for the cardigan would cost like $161 to make. Plus the cost of the pattern and probably s n h.
