Hi Gary. Always good to see you. Hope you are doing well 💙💙 I just love what you’re wearing. Stunning. You’re so great in putting colors together. Can’t wait to see what you make with them. Blessings 💙💙🎄🤗
I love the scarf and cowl that you and Hank are wearing, such pretty colors. You have a wonderful taste in putting yarn colors together for your projects I’m always interested in what you will make next. Happy Holiday Season. 🎄🧶🙏🏻💜
Another moodboard MAL!😊 the way you pick your colours always amazes me. I'm so boring with colours - reds, blues and neutrals. Between you + Steven West, I'll get the courage.
What an exciting MAL. I may be joining in this one. I just have to figure out the logistics and see if I can make time to do it. Love the fade scarf you created…a great example of fade.🥰
Hi Gary, hmm thinking caps on, this is going to be fun. You always have such great ideas. I want to wish you, Chad and Pixel a very Happy Christmas 🎄 I hope you have a lovely time and are all spoilt. My dog has a lovely treat bag I brought for her, my groomer makes them and fills them with doggie treats. I bet Pixel has a gift too, you can't leave them out haha
I am so excited😍 I don't have a lot of mini's but I lot of yarn, so Iknow I can create a project. Merry Christmas and Fun New Year to You, Chad and Pixel. 💞
I so love Ambah O'Brien patterns!! Is the MAL also for non Instagram users?? I don't have/want Instagram. I also promised myself I'm not starting anything new until the new year & I have to finish at least one languishing WIP.. (maybe geogradient. 😝) I'm working on an advent stole by Brigit Kok right now. I do it every year. I have the same SW book!! 😂🤣😂🤣 I have a beautiful gradient set & really want to make a kite-type shawl. This would work!! Great names for the sets!!
Hello Patti - yes indeed the MAL is for everyone even those who don’t have Instagram. Anyone can join. (The #hashtag is only if you want to see them on Insta all together while you are working on them, but that isn’t a requirement)
Good question. I have only tried two wool washes (one was a gifted sample and the other a huge bottle I purchased that I’m still working through, so my knowledge is limited). The two I have are Soak and Eucalan.
Hi Joanne - hope you had a lovely time with family.friends over the holidays. Yeap that’s right - we’re putting our yarn directly on the boards and using any type of yarn - scraps, minis or full skeins (if you wish). I’m mostly using minis in my projects to finally use them up. Just one thing to remember - no self fading or striped cakes can be used. We want to create our own fade or rainbow.
I love watching your process! I am trying to learn to knit and I wonder if you know of a knitting channel that is similar to bag-o-days technique? I need real baby steps 😊 thanks!
Hi there friend - it’s a bit of testing the waters when looking for the right fit for tutorials. I did do a ton of RUclips searches and chose those that had title descriptions on the technique. Many of these channels I don’t recall as it was a one off tutorial I watched. Then later on I noted them - RJ knits, Fiber Spider, Very Pink Knits (just to name a few).
Love the new Mal ideas, fun fun . My mind is ticking 😊😊😊 ✌️🥰🎄 , merry Merry Christmas to you and your family G ary!!!
Beautiful colour choices Gary! 😍

Merry Christmas Gary and Chad. Maybe next year I can learn how to knit because I love your cowl and scarf, colors are stunning.
That’s great - I hope you give it a try!
Ooh, interesting challenge! I'll have to take a peek through my stash and see if anything speaks to me!
Yay! I hope you see a fade or rainbow that jumps out.
Hello Gary. Merry Christmas! ☃

Happy Holidays! I was just looking up mini skein projects tonight and then saw this video. :)
It's the perfect time of year to get creative with mini skeins!
Hi Gary..Merry Christmas!
Happy holidays!
I so love Ambah O'Brien patterns!!

I'm loving those colors! Do you have a particular wool wash or soak you recommend for your hand wash only items?
Good question. I have only tried two wool washes (one was a gifted sample and the other a huge bottle I purchased that I’m still working through, so my knowledge is limited). The two I have are Soak and Eucalan.
Hi Gary, I'm not sure I understand the new mood board, so you need to you scraps and or minis?

@@urbanyarn ok got it,, hmmm ill have to think into this one...
What is the measurement of your cowl
Hello - the tube of garter stitched fabric flattened measures 13 inches (26 inches before seaming) and height is 5.5 inches.
I love watching your process! I am trying to learn to knit and I wonder if you know of a knitting channel that is similar to bag-o-days technique? I need real baby steps 😊 thanks!
