That scarf is giving Scrooge at the end of Muppet Christmas Carol and I'm obsessed. Also the name of the knot you attached the tassels with is a Larks Head Knot. Am very excited for the Midland Cardigan pattern release x
SO EXITED for the whole Midland range! I bought some red yarn to make myself a Midland neck, can t wait for the pattern!!!! It looks so amazing!!! Also looking forward to vlogmas!!!!!!1
Love your haircut.Sweet! I enjoy your podcasts and vlogs very much. Love the Midland Neck and the Midland Cardigan and the Maxine sweater. All your patterns are beautiful. Your energy in your videos is so breezy and cheerful. Great episode Laura! Keep the wonderful designs coming! Happy making! Love Katie from Maine USA 💕🧶
I use a felting needle on the magic knots to keep them from coming undone. The fabric glue leaves a stiffness that isn’t pleasant, whereas a couple/few jabs with the needle doesn’t. I tested out various fibers with the felting needles and there wasn’t anything I tried that they wouldn’t felt, from wool to cotton to acrylic and everything in between. The only thing I didn’t try was silk and I suspect it would work same as everything else. I use them for making sure woven in ends don’t slide out, for closing up that annoying hole at the corner of heels and thumb gussets, all sorts of uses!
I love your energy in all your creative endeavors. Another shawl you might like is The Stillness Shawl by Helen Stewart. I’ve made that and it’s one of my most worn makes. She has some that are specifically for mini skeins, 12 birds is a half circle while 24 birds is a full circle that can be folded over. And I wanted to tell you I made the Great Love cardigan after watching you work on your husband’s Big Love. Glad I caught that the biceps were small. Lots of the makers said the same thing in their project notes. Saved me a lot of frustration.
ugh your teasing us with a mitten pattern with 20g mini skeins right before advent season😫 but I totally understand wanting to take your time with it, I'll be crossing my fingers that time works out in your favour❤
@@_laurapenrose_ you enjoying the holiday season and taking time to rest and be with family is much more important!❤Don't stress your process, I'll save some miniskeins especially for this pattern😉
I absolutely love your new haircolor. It is absolutely stunning and brings out your features beautifully. The midland neck is lovely on you too, especially with the brown hair.
so excited for vlogmas!! just rewatched the previous years. Purl Soho does have a free pattern for a hood scarf which I was just looking into, their version is 2x2 rib
Thank you so much for another joyful video. If you want to crochet with your advent yarn, the "Midnight Jasmine Wrap" could be lovely. I will knit the sweet shop blanket with my Zakami advent. Can't wait for the first of december.
Red looks so good on you! Thank you for the recommendations, I immediately got excited to knitting first cable sweater by Celine knits! Can't wait for vlogmas 😃😃
Love the new hair, looks so good with the red scarf and red souffle! I vote for you to use the Breaking Dawn shawl pattern, because you said the advent colours give you a "twilight-y" vibe, and the last book in the Twilight series is Breaking Dawn 😂Congrats on the upcoming publication, and I'm so excited for the Midland Cardigan release!
Loving the hair Laura. Enjoy yotur podcasts and just purchased your new fairisle sweater pattern ♥️purchased the Zakhami advent and just deciding on a pattern so will keep eyes peeled on suggestions 😉xx
The creabea has a shawl made for advents called the daft days shawl and it is gorgeous! I have the fibre fox advent as well and can imagine it fading beautifully in that pattern !
Your mittens are gorgeous. You could wear a super thin pair of gloves inside them and it grips them and would stop them from moving and add to the warmth.
I think it's hilarious how we saw your husband's luxurious red scarf and then next thing we knew, we were seeing another miniature red scarf for the geese! 😅
Oh no, you completely knitfluenced me!! I was set on my advents (3 knitting, 6 other) and then I saw you recommend the Fibre Fox... you actually influenced me last year and I bought it extremely last minute then too! just to confirm... 10 advents isn't too much... right? :P
Love the new hair. ❤ The double midland style is fab! I vote for the Breaking Dawn shawl. Suggestion for a crochet shawl: Erigeneia by Silke Terhorst. I am so looking forward to Vlogmas! Eeeeeee 🤗 ~Kat
Your Soufflé looks lovely, but I agree that compared to your original short sleeve version it does look too big. If you're happy with the oversized fit I say keep it, but I think you were hoping for a more fitted Soufflé to go with your wide leg sparkly pants. The red looks stunning with your hair ❤ Of the shawls you showed, my vote is for Anniina's shawl hands down!
Stunning hair colour! It looks so great on you, much better than the one you had before (and even that one wasn't bad). Also, I can't wait for Vlogmas! Last year's got me through some longggg nursing sessions so I think this year's is going to be special in a different kind of way. :)
Laura Penrose Watch episode 149 Fruity Knitting there's an excellent Knitting book recommendation which you may want to promote on your next RUclips it's only in Geman but if get enough support it will hopefully be published In English it's about illnesses and benefits of knitting
Love your videos and so excited for the Maxine sweater!🤩 will you be releasing the sweater kits with woolly mammoth fiber? Can’t wait to knit the copper one!

The moment I have seen you I need to comment - you look fabulous in your new hair! And I definitely need to make the Midland Cardigan.
Just a lovely time, had a perfect knitting afternoon following along with the Midland! Big cozy hugs from California ❤
Love the Midland cardigan. You could add a mohair lining to your mittens, it would probably be warmer and snugglier.
I need to make the Midland Cardigan! The sideway garter stitch gives it such a nice look 😍
I would so totally slightly felt those mittens!! They would be smaller and denser solving both issues 😊 They are super cute!
A shawl that may work with an advent fade is Time flies. The new hair style and color is lovely.
Love your haircut.Sweet! I enjoy your podcasts and vlogs very much. Love the Midland Neck and the Midland Cardigan and the Maxine sweater. All your patterns are beautiful. Your energy in your videos is so breezy and cheerful. Great episode Laura!

I’m hoping to do the Berries & Baubles shawl by Sandra Paul with an advent. It’s beautiful and builds the border as you go

Ooooh... love the dark hair!!! I've ordered a pair of hot water bottles to make the covers... can't wait! 😁😁😁
Immediately when you came on I thought “what a great haircut “. You look fab!
For the mittens try knitting a liner. It will give you an extra layer for warmth and will help with the fit.
Anthology shawl/ throw have seen this in a fade, good long term project.
ugh your teasing us with a mitten pattern with 20g mini skeins right before advent season😫 but I totally understand wanting to take your time with it, I'll be crossing my fingers that time works out in your favour❤
@@mollyskattberg I really do hope I can make it happen but realistically with editing and testing it’s at least a 3-4 week production time!

Also love the new hairdo. Really suits you.
You are just so much fun!!( and so gifted!!) Love your podcasts Laura!
The Njord Hoodie is available in English on Ravelry. I have 2 shawls on my radar, Luminaria Shawl and Little Gemstones Shawl
Love the idea of the midland neck and cardigan in the same yarn and color.
Red looks so good on you! Thank you for the recommendations, I immediately got excited to knitting first cable sweater by Celine knits! Can't wait for vlogmas 😃😃
OMG!!! I love your hair - you are stunning 🤩
Loved this and looking forward to seeing what you make with the Fibre Fox advent as I have that one too! Your hair looks great btw, really suits you.
Love your hair. Love watching today!
The red soufflé with your new hair! Love the updates you've done to the pattern and I can't wait to make one 😊
Laura! I literally haven't gotten a minute into the video, and just had to comment and say how much I love your hair! That color looks great!
@@alovelyyarn thank you! It was quite a sudden decision but I love it! 🥰

I actually was so inspired by your shawl last year that I’m planning to do the what the fade with my fibrefox advent this year 😂

Do you think elastic threaded through the cuff of your too large mittens would help?
Amazing episode Laura, I can’t wait for the Midland pattern ❤
Ok nothing knitting related but hey the hair looks fabulous! The Midland color with the new due, chefs kiss

Ooooo the red of the souffle with your darker hair! 😍😍
Your hairstyle suits you perfectly❤I am so excited about your garter stitch cardigan🎉 I hope you and your lovely family have a very merry Christmas🎄
I am planning on making a multicolored sibling sweater with my two advents! I am excited to get started
Aw that sounds lovely!!!

I think I’m going to finish it as is as I don’t mind a bit of oversized, I think it will also looks great with tight black trousers! X
What about Brioche Adventure Shawl for your fade minis? It would look absolutely fab 😮
Super excited for the midland dickie, any idea of aprox yardages of the two yarns as I want to get ahead of myself before the release
@@DoItEllieStyle not yet as the rest is still on going, I will share yardages before release over on Instagram though! X
Stunning hair colour! It looks so great on you, much better than the one you had before (and even that one wasn't bad). Also, I can't wait for Vlogmas! Last year's got me through some longggg nursing sessions so I think this year's is going to be special in a different kind of way. :)

Yay your Vlogmas is coming ❤🎉!!
Oh my i needdddd that cardigan!

Love your videos and so excited for the Maxine sweater!🤩 will you be releasing the sweater kits with woolly mammoth fiber? Can’t wait to knit the copper one!
Emma is doing kits for the original colour way and also did a big restock of the copper, though I’m not sure if there’s any left now! X
I would love a midland hood with scarf 🤩
and I do love the hair! Are you a natural brunette?
I was born blonde but it went light brown when I was a teenager! X
