Thanks for being here!
Liefs,
Sarah 🧶
You're on pause at the moment because I needed to comment now. I truly enjoy your heart-to-hearts. You have such a lovely way of sharing those challenges that affect us all, but we somehow think we're the only ones experiencing them. You talk us through your process and I'm on this side of the world thinking we have so much in common! I'm sure many here feel the same. Isn't it amazing that the human experience, specifically the female experience, because I am a woman and can speak to that, is so similar no matter where we live?! Thank you, Sarah, for sharing. Until the next episode.
🤎
I laughed sooo hard when you mentioned the”dust sucker” I am forever going to have this in my mind when I vacuum!😂😂😂😂
I really enjoy your podcast. Its cute how you struggle with English. Yes we have picnics on blankets or at tables. We do have flea markets too. Thank you for your humor. We also celebrate veterans day. We remember all our soldiers who fought for our freedom.
I enjoy your talented knits. Im a grandmother of 13. I play, cook, camp, play games, with them. Yet find time to knit for them too.
(From Canada.) The scalloped border on your beautiful afghan might be called a saw-tooth edge -- that description is after the sharp pointed edge of a wood saw. And it is very distinctive and perfect for your blanket, just beautiful, the perfect detail!
Congratulations on finishing the blanket! It is lovely and I am sure that your Mother-In-Law will love it. I really liked your idea of 15 minutes cleaning and 15 minutes crafting. I will have to try that.
Bonjour Sarah! Granny's pier is filled with love stitches. She will appreciate it. You made me laugh with the word vacuum cleaner, you are so funny Sarah! Good week to you dear Sarah! xx See you soon!
Omg I’m using ‘dust sucker’ from now on, but better than vacuuming 😂
We definitely call it a flea market. Picnic blanket shopping sounds fun! Every crochet episode I’ve watched either includes all the different terms like u just did, or they say right upfront, “I’m just going to speak in US or UK terms.” It just makes me so happy and full of joy to catch up with you each week! ❤
Hi Sarah.
If you think of how many times you put your hook through loops it helps to explain English terms.
Single is a chain stitch…. Once through with your hook.
Then twice through is a double crochet.
Thrice through is a treble. Etcetera.😁
I love the colors and that you kept it simple and not super busy. It’s beautiful, thanks for sharing.
Sarah, your podcast is brilliant and enlightening. I'm going to practice alternating my house cleaning with my
Knitting. Today I am only a knitter but in 3 weeks I will learn crochet in a class offered by my local yarn store. Thanks to your inspiration and cheerleading I will do both.
You are brilliant! Switching between craft and cleaning … I am going to start implementing that. I obsess when I start my projects and then get sore and on cleaning days miss my crafting time. You bring me smiles, thank you.😊
🤎
I like your granny square blanket with just the three colors in a block - such a lovely look. I will try that! Granny squares are meditative.
Hi Sarah. Thank you for a lovely podcast. Your bed throw is amazing, it looks so evenly made. We do say 'flea market' and that is correct to say. Vacuum cleaners/ing are also correct to say, and it can also be used as a verb - to vacuum. I love your growing confidence and your obvious enjoyment in your handiwork adventures. Much love 😍💖😍
I love the word handiwork 🤎
Sarah l'm watching from Greece l agree with everything you said in the video especially cleaning the house so what l do is crochet for an hour then for example l cook then go back to crocheting then again do another chore and so on. Crocheting relaxes me. I don't make any money from it l crochet for my grown up children my grandchildren and friends for their birthdays as gifts. In summer l crochet less because l enjoy the calm Mediterranean sea. Don't worry about your English we understand you and we're not all English. Different nations make up our European continent. Sending hugs❤
Greece wonderful do you podcast I'd love to watch you
I love the story about your Cardigan 🥰 The leg warmers and knit socks look so cozy
Hello Sarah. I so enjoy your vlogs and you always bring a smile… especially love the new name for a vacuum cleaner😂. Yes, the crochet U.K./ US terms are confusing, you are not alone in that thinking. Your Granny Square bed runner is gorgeous and think you have got me hooked (sorry)☺️ on making one. Hope you have a relaxing, knitting/crochet filled holiday.❤
Love your podcasts Sarah. I'm from the UK and agree with your comments about Crochet terms! I'm currently learning how to crochet (I'm a knitter) and am finding it difficult in these early stages. The UK terms are just not making sense to me either and that's coming from a British person. Maybe I shall just follow the US instructions :)
Dust sucker! 😂 I was laughing out loud. I have a green Henry vacuum cleaner. I think you have the pink one. I don’t know if it is just a scottish thing, but we would say “hoovering”. I think it goes way back to a time when just about everyone had a Hoover vacuum cleaner. I don’t know anyone who says vacuuming, even although there are so many more brands of vacuum cleaners available today. The term “hoovering” has stuck and become part of our language. I still call it the Hoover. “I’m going to get the hoover out and do the hoovering” 😂 I do enjoy your stories about your life, and look forward to your chats. 🤎
Your blanket is so pretty! I bet your mother in law will love it. I am watching from the US. and I agree with you about the US and UK terms, it can be very confusing. I love granny squares too and Attic 24 was the first crochet blog I found.
I just found your podcast. So delightful. Your English is very good. A pink vacuum makes the job fun. Mine is purple and orange. Also, flea markets are fun places to find items, thrift shops too!
Yes! Flea markets, swap meets. Often picnic blankets are involved to showcase what we have for sale that may, or may not, be flea-infested. Hence the name "flea market".😉
So happy that you found the time for this episode during your holiday time. You never fail to make me laugh out loud or talk to my screen correcting your English:):) So interactive! I love your blanket too. Wishing you lots of knitting time this week. Hooray for helpful husbands! Thank you for being you!
I live in the UK and know how to crochet granny squares but not a clue as to the terms used !
My Grandmother taught me many years ago. I just like making my own patterns up 😁
My Hetty makes me smile too ! Your bed runner is a such a thoughtful gift made with love.
Hi first time watching. You are the only person who I've seen hold the yarn in the same way as I do while I crochet.
Yeah flea markets or antique markets or second hand bazar. 🙂 In Germany we call them Flohmarkt, Antikmarkt or Second Hand Bazar. 🙂 A lot of german words are the same as dutch words.
I used to have a great aunt who was married to a dutch man. They lived in Maastricht and they met during WW2. Their love story was very exciting, special and brave. My great uncle`s name was Anton. He was such a jolly man. I loved him a lot and my aunt as well. She lived to be over 90 years old, but now both of them are gone. I remember her bringing sweets to us in Germany back in the day. I remember especially some chocolate sprinkles called Hagelslag, lol. 🙂
Love all your knits Sarah. I also love the Hinterland dresses. It is so funny to me, that an american woman used a german word to name her dress design. Lol. Hinterland means Back Land or outback. But in german it has a kind of "hillbilly" connotation. Haha.
Such a special love story ❤️
@@itisasarah There is even more to it, because my greatuncle Anton was put into my grandmas house as a worker, like many dutch people who fled their land during the war. German household had to take in people for many years to live with them. My great aunt fell in love with him and they fled in the middle of the night, wearing multiple clothing on top of each other, because they could not carry many bags with them. They fled back to Holland, through forests and pastures, hiding in places which helped undercover . It was all very dangerous. Once they reached Holland they had a hard time getting a marriage licence, but in the end, all worked out and they got married and could stay. I can`t even imagine the fear they must`ve gone through and the excitement. An adventure of one of a kind. Huggs, Christina.
That blanket is GORGEOUS!
I absolutely love your color selection and how beautifully you matched them, great job!
It is perfection ♥️
Your English is very good but I understand what you mean, it’s a lot work thinking in a different language, English is my second language, when I first moved to the states it was a struggle because I would think every single word before speaking, now after many years primarily speaking English that is no longer an issue, the more you practice it the easier it gets.
My brother taught himself Dutch and can speak and write it perfectly, I envy how easy it is for him to learn different languages, he knows about 6 different ones.
I love your blanket! So pretty. I was never a fan of granny squares (bad memories from the ugly ones my grandmother made me when I was a child in the 60s) but you have inspired me. I love your Ariana cardigan and plan to make one and now am inspired to make one of your blankets! Sarah, I think we are kindred spirits. If you have read Anne of Green Gables, by Lucy Maude Montgomery you will understand. I look forward to your videos every week.🙂❣
I agree with the reference to Ann of Green Gables!
I love kindred spirits 🤎
If your mother in law isn’t thrilled with this I will so surprised. It is lovely!!
Another cozy talk with Sarah! Thanks so much for making my Monday 😃 I do the same thing as you do, I set a timer and clean house for 20 minutes and then sit down to knit or do something fun for 20 minutes. I work outside of the home and don't get much of either done during the week. On the weekend I want to just knit all the time, so I have to play a game with myself. I don't like to clean, but I like a clean house. Happy Monday and I will "see you" Friday.
the crochet foot runner for your In-laws bed is beautiful. I used to crochet way back when I was in my teens because, like you with crochet I had more success, knitting not so much. Now I almost always knit and do not embroider or crochet. Since watching your vlogs I decided I wanted to do more than knit so I think a scrappy crochet blanket may be started. And I love the embroidery tattoos on your cardigan and sweaters! I think I will have to do that as well! I loved this episode and I laughed at the dust-sucker too. I definitely feel the same way about clothes. When I feel really yucky about myself, for what ever reason - maybe I ate something that didn't agree with me, or had a grumpy day, when I put on my jeans and soft t-shirt with a soft sweater or my plaid shirt and cosy socks I feel like me. I dont care if it looks good, the clothes make me feel good.
The opening was so brilliant. I think the word you were searching for is similar. Alike but not the same. I love the process of your thoughts and translations. I also love the chat you share with us. But, of course, your knitting/ crocheting 🧶 and plants are superb. Thank you so much for your channel ❤. Be well
Hello Sarah xxx. Lots of UK people call vacuuming hoovering, after the original Hoover make of vacuum cleaner. I love your podcasts. Thankyou for all your thoughts, inspiration, enthusiasm and stories.
True
Thanks for sharing all your lovely crafty adventures! You nearly got me back to crocheing 😂 I love your granny square cardigan so much. I just saw the Cozy Days Daisy Blanket
by Stephanie Jessica Lau at ravlery, I am so in the mood for daisies this spring! Love, Frauke
Wow, the bed runner you made for your parents-in-law is stunning! Thank you for another joy-filled podcast! It was the perfect way to relax and crochet on my own blanket after my morning physiotherapy appointment. I’ve been dealing with some health challenges this year and the stress of balancing work and home life. Thank you for sharing about your everyday life and past challenges. My favorite pair of shoes when I was 4 was a pair of red t-strap Mary Jane’s and I still feel better when wearing Mary Janes. Although I’m only a crocheter, I made my first crochet sweater in 2019 and I’ve made so many since then. Although I may look old fashioned to the younger set, I’ve reached a point in my life where comfort and feeling good about making something I can wear means more to me than someone else’s opinion. You always look radiant in your handmade garments, by the way. Your bit about the vacuum or dust sucker reminded me of how I always say, “Our vacuum really sucks.”😂❤
Hi Sarah, you are definitely my favourite podcast ❤. Thank you and your bed throw is 👌
🤎
I love e the colors in the granny square blanket!!
Thank you for the laughs! I'm going to start calling my vacuum cleaner a dust sucker - that is more fun!
Hi Sarah. Greetings from Bondi, NSW Australia. Today, 25 April is ANZAC DAY here in Australia. Its a public holiday. Its about respecting and remembering our ancestors who have been in wars. A-Australian NZ and New Zealand A Army C Cores. I love my vacuum cleaner (dust sucker 😁) too xx
I have family over in Australia would love to visit
Good morning Sarah! Your wonderful podcast came up as a RUclips suggestion and this is the very first time that I get blown away by what it offers! Since then, I have tried to watch as many episodes as possibly during my quality crafting time, thoroughly enjoying your approach to knitting, crocheting and life at large … So much of what you talk about and say find resounding echos in me and as a linguist, I love the Dutch words popping in too! Sending you lots of friendly hugs from North Yorkshire (Attic 24 aka Lucy’s land!) 🧶
Beautiful bed runner!! Love the colors!!
I live in Australia and we always had flea markets, or we used to call them trash and treasure markets when I was a kid. I grew up learning the UK terms for crochet, but that didn't mean much to me until I started following patterns. I just did the stitches I knew. Always enjoy your podcast and have a giggle about the language and words we all use in different ways. Dust sucker is a much better term and one I will adopt for myself in future. 💜
I have only been crocheting for about 15 months so I did get confused about the US and U.K. terms! Then I watched a podcast and she explained that the U.K. term are used because when you do a double crochet (U.K.) before you pull the yarn through you have 2 loops in the hook hence double! When you treble crochet before you pull the yarn through the loops there are 3 stitches on the hook - hence treble !!
That’s how I remember it !!!
That is helpfull! Thank you 🤎
I really love your explanation of your clothes. I will take that with me. 🎉
Hello from another Australian. I really love this blanket and the colours work really well. I’m really enjoying your videos, which have just popped up on my channel.
Love love love your podcasts. Thank you for accompanying me while I knit and laugh. You love granny squares for relaxing … it is the same for me towards garter stitch. I will start the Half and Half from Purl Soho and knit away. Have a good week! 🧶🥰
Your bed runner turned out just beautifully, Sarah! Yes we do vacuuming in the US! We also have Flea Markets. I live in Arkansas USA now an we seem to have permanent flea markets. They are so fun to go check out. Thank you Sarah. 🌷
Oh my, you had me laughing today with your English/Dutch words and English vrs American crochet terms. I live in Canada and most patterns that I have used (I am not much of a crocheter, so that is not many) use US terms. The bed runner that you made for your in-laws is beautiful. I am sure they will be delighted. Such a lovely tradition to carry on having dinner with your family each week. When we lived in our home town, we did the same, alternating between the parents. As our children grew and moved out, we continued the tradition with a family Sunday dinner. Then the grandkids joined us. Now I live alone and my kids and grandkids live all over Canada and even in the US, so no more family dinners each week. I miss them, but when the kids do come home, they often request their favourite traditional Sunday dinner- usually roast beef and Yorkshire pudding.
🤎
I forgot to say how beautiful your bed runner is. I’m sure your mother in law will love it, the colours are so warm and pretty. I love how you have placed the colours, making it less busy. You have inspired me to gather my scraps and dig out a crochet hook! 🤎
Just found you! And so glad I did. Just at the beginning of the video and I'm looking forward to hearing all about your projects. Hope you don't mind me saying that I love Dutch accents, and I find yours so comforting to listen to :)
Hallo Sarah. I only discovered your podcast this afternoon and what a pleasure. As we say in Afrikaans, "dit was heel aangenaam". I am from South Africa, and I can agree growing up bilingual [and also multilingual here in SA] has many benefits! I feel blessed and it connects us to a worldwide community, isn't it? As Afrikaans developed from Dutch it is so nice to hear so many words you say in Dutch while looking for the English words.
My daughter and her husband will be moving to the Netherlands end of June, so it is so nice connecting with Dutch RUclipsrs.
Looking forward to your next episodes!
🤎
Hei, Sarah, from Estonia 👋 I struggle with my english too 😄 I was born, when Estonia was occupied by sovetics and basic language was russian. But. You make me laugh when talk about difficulties of dutch. For me it's true. I never understand, how you speak it. But just try estonian 😄 [õ, ä, ö, ü 😉].
I'm totally amateur knitter. Great thanks for knitting moments. :)
🤎
Sarah just found you today. You are delightful. Subscribed right away. You made me smile and laugh out loud. I’m anxious to see more of your work. I am from Kentucky in the USA. We are also having a cool spring this year.
Another lovely episode Sarah, thank you once again 😘
I say that I’m going to Hoover so we say hoovering but dust sucker sounds so much more fun 😂
In the U.K. we tend to have street markets or car boot sales! Car boot means you fill your car boot with things you want to sell and maybe take a folding table to display things on - they usually take place at the weekends. Sometimes you can find antiques that are worth a lot but you need to get there early to get the best goods!! xxx
Dear Sarah, I follow you only since a few weeks. You popped up one RUclips by my start side ❤ I really enjoy your podcast 🥰 and it’s so nice when you don’t know a word in English and you’re saying it in Dutch, because I’m from Switzerland and most of the words I understand then, because they are sometimes exactly the same or almost in swissgerman 😊 because of your podcast, I want to learn now also knitting! I’m a crocheter. Big hugs from Switzerland Désirée ❤
I am now listening to you share about when you worked and raised your children at the same time etc. I can relate. I raised my children alone and had to work and do it all at the same time. Making my own clothes helped me get through those hard times. My kids are now grown. I still have some of the clothing I made years ago. I still make my own clothes. Wearing the clothing I make makes me feel in a way that words cannot describe. I will never stop making my clothing. Thank you for sharing. It's nice to learn that others have similar human experiences.
Thank you for another wonderful podcast Sarah😊Your bed runner is gorgeous and I am sure is going to be gratefully received by your in-laws🥰Thanks to your inspiration,I have just completed a granny square cardigan(I am a knitter and crochet in a very limited way)… so I am delighted with my crochet garment-thank you for inspiring it and me!😁🤗🤎
Yes flee market! I bet you love that day! I’m sure you’ll you’ll show us your treasures. I did not enjoy working when my girls where young so I stayed home and loved it! Yes vacuuming 🤣 yes encourage. Love your podcast! ❤
The crochet project is looking very pretty, I like the soft colors you selected, without being pastel. Flea Market is a general term for outdoor temporary sales, but often they are commercial vendors. The terms Swap Meets or Rummage Sale are subtly different in my area, as they are used for non-commercial vendor events like those for churches, schools or general community sales.
I just returned from a river cruise in the Netherlands. amazing country!,
Good morning Sarah, this is Marion from USA. I just wanted to say you speak very well very good. English is a matter of fact you’re probably speak as well as I do however, there are words that are most difficult in the English language and I understand it and don’t worry about it have fun, and I just want you to know that I’m going to start making my granny squares again and I plan to look on ravelry to see what I can do 7:12 7:13 7:15 7:16 7:16
One more time I would just wanted to let Sarah know that a flea market doesn’t have anything to do with plates so much is selling them and you know you can spread a blanket or you can rent a space and are you can rent a a little condo inside which I did 13 years and I met him that was my business. I did freehand embroidery on all the sweaters, the school clothes in there baby things I loved it but I can’t do it anymore. I’m too old however Siri you’re doing a great job keep it up and don’t worry about your spiritual define 15:44 15:44 15:44
Just found your podcast really enjoyed the episode. Love how the granny square blanket turned out. I hadn’t really thought about the difference in gauge for a blanket for the bed vs the sofa so good food for thought.
Your bed runner is so beautiful!!! You took so much care to decide on the colour combinations and the stitches that it really shows. Thank you for showing that interesting edging that you did. Also ...You can "weave" in your ends - present tense OR "wove" in the ends- past tense. Perhaps "weaved" is a word but I don't think so...
Meid wat een plezier om naar je te kijken en luisteren… ik heb zoooo gelachen…
Meteen geabonneerd.. 😁
En: geweldig mooi wat je maakt.
Je Engels is prima en erg gezellig. En heerlijk als je naar woorden zoekt.. echt herkenbaar.
Ik verheug me al op je volgende filmpje.. 🤩
Hi Sarah,
In English we use past tense words such as sewn, knit and cast. Sometimes English speakers make mistakes in this regard. I’m enjoying hearing the Dutch translations! I must go and use my duster sucker (vacuum cleaner) to suck up the ‘dust bunnies’.
Hi, Sarah> First time here, and loved! I'm Denise, from Brazil.
Hi Sarah! The granny square blanket/runner is so beautiful. I am going to start a granny square blanket project soon thanks to your enthusiasm! I hope you get a lot of knitting time in this week :)
Oh Sarah I think you’re so funny. The dust sucker is called a vacuum cleaner. From now on I’m calling it dust sucked😂 The crochet blanket is so pretty. Your In Laws will love it. I made my mother in law a quilt but she won’t use it because she doesn’t want to ruin it. So I guess when she passes I’ll have a new quilt.
Hi Sarah, I’m a new subscriber from the UK and I really enjoy your videos, I want to say your English is perfect so thank you for gifting us with your wonderful podcasts, Debbie ❤
Your crochet blanket is beautiful!
Hi Sarah, lovely episode. In New Zealand we say vacuum, vacuuming vacuum cleaning…. We also have flea markets. And YES as a new crocheter I find the difference between uk and us terms confusing too! Being a commonwealth country we tend to follow UK in most things though. I would love to know the history of the terms haha
British English is the correct way to learn English though there are others all.very confusing for some people
I love this! I never liked to change colors every row!
I also wonder why there are different crochet terms; it seems really silly😁. When I first joined Ravelry, I was only a crocheter, and I picked a pattern from a German company not realizing it used UK terms. It took several inches of crochet and wondering why it didn't look like the picture before I figured it out.
Hi Sarah! When you were talking about granny square blankets, I thought of the word “nostalgic” which is very similar to the Dutch word that has the same meaning. They are so comforting 💕 and reassuring. I’m hoping to make my first one this year! Thank you for keeping me company while I do the ribbing on my Amy Slipover.
Nostalgisch is the dutch word. Granny squares are absolutely nostalgic 🤎
Forgot to mention that the Granny Square blanket is so so beautiful. I can’t crochet but you’ve inspired me to learn x
Hi Sarah, what lovely in laws you have….a special family dinner every Monday evening. They will simply love your crocheted bed runner! It’s beautiful and it’s stitched in love…..we can tell! Gayle in Minnesota.
You can also say hoovering up instead of vacuuming, it's a little easier
we use that term in the UK or at least in the North West we do
Sarah….it turned out beautiful and your mother in law is going to love it. I hope we can see a picture of it on her bed but of course it’s okay if that’s not possible. I’m sure your so excited to be with her tonight to give it to her!
Hi Sarah, my theory re US vs UK terms is: UK terms are based on how many loops you have on your hook, so for a double - two, treble - three etc. My theory is that US terms are based on how many times you wrap your yarn round the hook in the set -up stages. So, if you think of crochet stitches in two stages, I mean when you are determining the height of the stitch, not the 'resolution' stage. Maybe this only makes sense in my head 😂
Ahh thank you!
I love how funny you are Sarah 😂 enjoyed your week with your family ❤
Thank you. I really enjoy your videos.
vaccumcleaner? 😀In Germany we say Staubsauger ....hahaha. The blanket turned out very beautiful! I love your color choices and combinations in it, its happy but not too crazy! Very nice work, Sarah!
Hahaha … Staubsauger sounds funny too
It’s beautiful Sarah❣️🤗 Thank you for sharing ❤
Your English is fantastic compared to my Flemish or Dutch which is 1%, I have 3 half-sisters that are much younger than I ( about 20 years difference ) I last spoke to them a good few years ago, I'd only ever spoken too them on the phone, one day I'd love to go over to Belgium to meet them properly but I'd like to be able to speak a little more Flemish before hand
Very nice colors for the blanket. Your mother in law is lucky.
Great job on the blanket, what a great gift!
Bellissima la tua coperta, ti vedo da Italia, è la prima volta che vedo il tuo canale, sei molto simpatica 😊
As an Australian who was born in Holland I love this. I should listen to your Dutch version but I must admit I only really understand 1970’s Dutch 😂
Hoovering in the UK sounds so much better than vacuuming! But dust sucker sounds more powerful and effective!
To have dinner every week with my parents in law would be a dream come true! (i'm 60 & my husband is 70) and they have been gone for awhile now! TY for sharing! ALSO~ what is your hair do? I LOVE the look but I can't tell if is LONGER in the front ! I love it!
Dust Sucker!!! I LOVE IT!
On the East coast we call them "flea markets." Out west they say "Swap meets"
Just found your channel. Enjoying your shares
Sarah the crochet blanket for your In-Laws is Beautiful. I haven't done much crocheting, but just a tiny bit. I would love to make the Ariana cardigan like you did, but not sure I can follow a crochet pattern. I follow if there is a tutorial from start to finish. I read on some of the comments from that cardigan that it was hard to follow putting it together. I am anxious to see what the crochet sweater you are wanting to make when it comes out in May. Maybe someday I will try it.
I did not use the instructions to join bit just did it the as you go way. That was not hard at all!
I don't have children but I think you're totally right to say it's a heavy combination to work and be a mom at the same time. Here in Canada, it's the same. People have careers and children, they work all day, go to the appointments, care for the kids at night, then they go to bed because they get up early, during weekends they have activities and so on. I honestly don't know how people can live like that. It's not a surprise that there are so many psychological problems related to well-being. Unfortunately, society defines us by our job, which is ridiculous in my opinion. One parent should totally stay at home. It should be seen as something good and healthy, and even as the normal thing to do, instead of being seen as "that person doesn't work".
I love your idea of alternating 15 minutes of cleaning with 15 minutes of crafting. I think I'll try that!
🤎
Beautiful garments!
I saw a pattern for a granny square headband and it made me think of you! ❤🧶
🤎
We call it hoovering great podcast
Sarah your english is fabulous don't worry about it just keep talking.........how do you join your squares together do you slip stitch them or use a different method? ♥ I have granny squares on the go as well I am trying to figure out what colors I want for a sweater like yours in episode 37 plus I am crochet a sweater (linen or moss stitch) and practicing my continental knitting by making a turquoise scarf. The knitting hurts my shoulder though so I can't work on it for long and its just guarder stitch.
It is very cool here in Arkansas. I’m wearing my Fireworks sweater by Marie Greene out of woolly wool!
I’m in Arkansas also! Beautiful sunshine but soooo cold!
The only times our schools are off for two weeks is at Christmas. Otherwise maybe a week at Spring break.
