happy to report that my neighbor hasn't made the strange noise again and we're going on 2 weeks! we love character development!!! *oops and in the first screen i obvs mean January 2022 hahah
@Rez March It was from the center of our room right above the desk where there arent any pipes :/ unless she was repeatedly hammering a poster to the wall lol trust me, we've thought of EVERYTHING
I can understand you. I also had a noisy neightbour next to me at my previous place. He was a younger guy with guitar and with his 2 dogs. He didn't want to understand first I hear everything. I also say that you should talk to them.
My old rooftop apartment had no neighbor noises but I had to climb 5 floors and 1/2 mile walk to the station. Paying less to live on second floor across the street from station with loudish neighbors these days. It was a even tradeoff.
Wow she was probably wearing heels, I have a neighbor who I used to live under who would purposely stomp on her floor all the time so I know how you feel.
omg I had a similar situation with an upstairs neighbor! for the life of me I couldn't figure out what was the sound but it felt like a HUGE washing machine that made our whole flat tremble and it was driving me crazy but thank God I didn't have to go and talk with her in person ('cause it would've been awkward) because we had a group chat in WhatsApp so I took her number and DMed her. Anyway turned out it was her exercise bike. The fact that you know what the sound is makes it SO much more bearable. But she used it like 2 times more after my text and then stopped and recently moved away. New neighbors though invite some kid every now and then and I think I prefer the bike haha
oh by the way, would it be possible to record the sound that your neighbor makes and then go the the security with proof? Would they be able to do smth then?
I’m so glad you went to a yarn store!! I’m preparing to move to Korea at the end of this summer and I’ve been a knitter since age 9 (20 years!!) and one of the few things I’ve been been stressing about the move is WHERE WILL I BUY MY YARN!?!?!?
dongdaemun craft market is definitely the place for all your yarn because its cheaper BUT its also pretty overwhelming and there often arent prices listed so you have to ask and haggle for a deal. So this is a really peaceful way of shopping hahaha but there's a really vibrant knitting and crocheting community here! excited to see it growing!
We are in the process of also moving to Korea and I’ve crocheted for decades. Been building up a stash for specific projects from Hobby Lobby but great to see I can get it in Korea. Although we plan to live much further South, yarn shopping is as good a reason as any for a trip to Seoul.
I have decided just now that I’m gonna keep a count of how many corgis you record throughout 2022 vlogs 🐶 see you on December with the final number! ✨🤓
I love everything about this video, from the café to the dreamy dreamy yarn store that even has swatches?? To your successful non-confrontation with the neighbor to your crochet bag in my favorite checker pattern AND one of my favorite color combination. Congrats on your (first?) colorwork project! I've also been knitting for hours I totally understand the wrist pain, grip issues, and eye focus issues. It's so cool how crochet is just like.. one loop on the hook that becomes anything from a bookmark to a whole blanket!
There's no "wrong" way to hold a crochet hook or knitting needle - there's literally as many different ways to hold it as there are people who crochet/knit! Do whatever works for you, and don't be afraid to switch it up if it helps you - keep in mind that a different grip may change your tension though, so be careful if changing mid-project. Love the greens :) and glad your neighbour is being more quiet now!
I started crocheting again back in 2020 and then picked up knitting last summer and that yarn store looks like the dream, i can definitely relate to having to talk yourself out of buying everything lmao
@@caricakes What is the book called? Ive been trying to find it but it only says the name of the introduction and couldn't find anything!! HELP CARI 🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭
@everyone if you're interested i kept digging and found the book! Its called Black Swans by Eve Babitz!! Cari never mentioned it in any of her wrap ups so idk if she dnfed it or what! But I'm super excited to read it soon lol
the bag is lovely!! also, commiserations 😣my first apartment was a "garden unit" a.k.a. in the basement, and the whole time I lived there, it was chaos-noise from the stairs, vacuums, pots, dogs, children, you name it, I swear I heard it lol. Subsequently, I now have a Gollum-like appreciation for ear plugs, white noise machines, and sound proofed walls...
LOL oh no im so sorry!! my basement apartment was actually amazing because we got ZERO noise somehow and the one time my new foster dog barked a lot, my neighbor left me the sweetest note about it :') so i was shocked then this banging nonsense started haha hope you're in a quieter space now!
Super nervous and scared for my year abroad to South Korea (from London) but thank you so much for sharing Korea through your eyes! It makes the move less scary and more hopeful
This yarn shop with cafe - so cool, I would love to go there, I love crocheting. Also, I can't count how many times I was croacheting while watching your videos 🙂
I really love how you tell a story💫 the music is so good as always, I feel like I grew up watching your vlogs, I remember that I'd just rewatch them over and over again for the scenery and the music while making my homework when I was a freshman in 2018 haha~ thank you××
Hi Cari as a crocheter of over 30 years let me say you can hold your hook in whatever way you like! There is no 'supposed to's' really! Whatever is comfortable for you. Hopefully as you go along you'll pick up speed. By the way I love your colours, I don't feel the green is too bright but it might be brighter is real life than it is in video form. Your pattern is lovely.
When I lived in China in a huge apartment building, me and my two (also foreign) roommates would always hear loud talking, high heels and like... furniture scraping across the floor noises? Every. Single. Night. It was super annoying. But none of us spoke Chinese, so we asked our landlady to help. She said she asked the building people to deal with it, but the neighbors denied doing anything wrong. It kept happening so finally we called the police and apparently they were running an illegal gambling den out of the apartment! It stopped after that. 🙂
Wow...the Swiftie in question is adorable. She also sounds like an Australian who grew up in Canada but spends lots of time in London and random places in the US. Her joy and happy-tears are palpable.
Pausing the video to comment you crocheting with a face mask on and listening to music🎧🎶 on a coziest looking bed and that ponytail...... Is a whole daymn vibe ✨✨✨😊💜💜💜..... Unnie you look so smart in that ponytail.... Would love to see you do it often 😊😊😊😊
YEEESSSS!!! So much to love in this video! The red hat: chef's kiss, corgi: perfection, mentioning Niamh and her Taylor Swift fan-ness: YAS! plus on top RuPaul as background entertainment, honestly, except for your neighbour I've loved everything in this vlog
Omg I love Niamh too! She's so pure 🥺❤️ I also love Nena Shelby bc of you!! I live for swifty content lol 😂 Congrats on that gorgeous little crocheted bag Cari, and exited for next week's video! Happy Sundayyy ❤️🥰
Cari I cannot even put into words how much comfort your videos give me. Seriously your channel got me through 2021. Also I cannot tell how much you made me fall in love with Korea. I am so excited to see all in real life one day. You are such a gorgeous, authentic and funny person(no really you crack me up so often^^) and I just wanna thank you for being you and putting out videos. I send you so many kisses from Vienna xx
excited for a new video! i have this huge ambition of moving to japan after my studies. do you have any tips on how to leave friends and family behind if that makes sense? love your content, cari💛
just remembering that they're always there! and make an effort and concrete plan of when you can call home - time differences stink but when you have a weekly set up or something its easier and really helps :')
*Imediately adds that yarn store to my Seoul bucket list*. I would spend so many hours there 😂 This vlog was a dream! I love the bag so much, great job!! 💛
You can spend time there but I really must dissuade you from making any purchases from a position of good faith... they are too overpriced lile the same yarn you can get for like 60% at the next store
why do i share so many hobbies with so many people lmao i like to crochet and learn korean like you, i’ve met people you crochet and like fnaf like me, some kpop fans and crochet people. i love that we’re all connected by something
A tip I use sometimes (as a bad color picker myself) is to take a photo of your yarn in black and white so you can see the value differences. If your colors are in the same color family (i.e. several shades of green) but look the same in black and white, they won't have enough contrast when they are used next together. if they never touch each other it's not a huge deal, but if they do the color changes might be much more subtle. I love how the bagged turned out! I started. learning to do tapestry crochet last semester during finals to waste time and destress. Molla Mills is a GREAT tapestry crochet designer. I wish I had a good tip for hook grip...I hold mine like I hold my knitting needles, which is way harder on my wrists but I can go really fast!
You sound so high on the clouds when you talk about how happy you are with the finished product you made by yourself. Im happy for you too! Have a great week cari
Hey if you want to go back to the pen-grip, I really like the Clover Amour hooks for both pen and knife grips. The set is more on the expensive side, so I would just get one or two hooks in the sizes you use frequently to test them out. I bought the set a few years ago and it was definitely worth the investment for me (but I've been crocheting for like... 15 years 👵🏻). I don't have time for hooks that don't make my life easier 🤣
Watching this while crocheting was the best pleasure ahaha. After watching you buy yarn I'm finally motivated to drive to a shop (it takes nearly an hour to get there... i've been procrastinating this for a month) and buy some new colors myself :3 Glad the situation with your neighbor resolved calmly xx
I always watch your videos while i'm crocheting, its so relaxing! maybe hoping for a future crochet with me by you! it would be so relaxing! thank you so much and happy year of the tiger
When I heard the trumpet start la vie en rose I started smiling. Agreed wonderful playlist. Your vlogs are such a good vibe. Thanks for the cool content.
You might be the only person ever to reasonably resolve an apartment noisy-neighbour situation lol. I'm currently dealing with someone who seems like they have some sort of vendetta against me in the apartment above me. I've taken all the usual steps, and I'm basically in the "live with it" stage, but maybe the year of the year of the tiger will bring something new. Happy Lunar New Year !
I feel you on the neighbor noise. I moved into a new place with my husband and our neighbors STOMP STOMP STOMP all day long. There is no soundproofing and I can hear when they open drawers, turn on their blender, etc. They also burn their food a lot and I can hear their smoke alarm. It has not been great.
I was in Seoul almost 6 years ago and wanted to buy some yarn like a souvenir, but I really didn’t know how to google yarn shop locations! Now I know where I can go during my next trip 🥺 Thank you for this video! I really love your style of vloging and editing 💕
I love that bag pattern. Looks like a fun make for me to whip up, maybe as a few gifts? You might enjoy Arne and Carlos' floral blanket patterns. I bought three of them as a pack and am working on two of them as blankets. You could easily just crochet the flowers and use them as adornments on things, including the bag you just made. I like the greens you chose. It can be so hard buying yarn, especially if you buy it online as I do so often as getting the colours to work together is a challenge. The one thing about living in Tasmania is the lack of really interesting art and craft shops with a large selection of products. Yarn is one of those things best shopped for in person. I've recently discovered The Yarn Inn which is in Latrobe in Tasmania and Sally is absolutely lovely, incredibly knowledgeable and has a beautiful range of yarn. She is one of the few here though.
That bag is super cute! I love the pattern, gives me retro vibes, would be adorable with 50s sundress. Glad your neighbor issue resolved. Strange cultural difference about the not talking to neighbor directly. Me and my downstairs neighbor exchanged phone numbers early on, since floors are super thin, we always let each other know if the other is being too loud. That's how I found out my little robot vacuum sounds like a dog playing with a heavy toy on the floor (no I don't have a dog lol), so I just switched back to my regular vacuum. It was a cheap model, so not a big deal. Maybe your neighbor has a robo vac? Floor boards magnify sounds in weird ways. Also cookies are a great way to befriend the neighbors lol, I'm always bringing baked goods to my neighbors.
Okay, this is freaky as heck. I just started to crochet the same bag about two weeks ago, and I was in yeonnamdong for seollal vacation and I almost went to the same bagel place cause I’m a Jersey girl and I’ve been missing bagels. Thank you for sharing this store location. Dongdaemun can get a lil hectic for me, so I’ve been trying to find places to buy yarn from that won't trigger my anxiety. I’m definitely going to check this out next weekend, and maybe film my own adventure :)
ahhhh love parallel lives ahhahah the bagels were nothing to really write home about BUT the toppings covered all that and made it delicious - havent had capers and all that vinegar goodness in a long time :') def doesnt compare to jersey tho :'''''( and the store is so calm and prices are clearly marked so its really stress free. highly recommend!!!!
Hi! Loved your video! I just wanted to mention that both ways of holding your hook is right! One is called the knife grip and the other is the pencil grip, It's different for everyone, but both work! I personally use both because it gets tiring to do one or the other for a while but yeah!
Those yarns! So pretty. I would have to stop myself from buying everything too. I learned how to crochet holding the hook the same way, like a pencil. But after I learned how to knit and went back to crochet, I held the hook like I would a knitting needle. It's so much easier for me.
the yarn shop clip gave me so much happiness!! it’s quite hard to find nice yarn where i’m from and i could only dream of having such a huge place to buy it from. thanks for sharing the joy, cari! hugs ❤️
Just stumbled across your channel. I lived in Wonju for a few years and spent money weekends in Seoul. Loving the memories your videos are bringing back. Love from Scotland
Not on topic, and I'm sure you don't remember but in a video where you were talking about students going through university online I commented that I was feeling hopeless because I felt like I was doing nothing and everything at once. Now, a couple months (?) later, I got a job. It's a bit out of my confort zone and I'm new, but things are looking up. I get so nervous that I feel actually sick, but this will be experience for the future. And starting to make some money is good too ✨ LOL I just wanted to give a small follow up since I feel like I'm always with you (in a way, watching the videos) when I feel hopeless and trying to get through. Cari, I think I'm making it through ✨
I'm binge watching your videos Cari it's literally soothing my anxiety, thank you for your perfect videos,im not sure if you'll see this comment but I got excited when I saw you watching season 7 of Drag Race which is m favorite song I'm wondering if you have favorite queens from this season or any season in general
OMG. I am that noisy neighbor. I usually sing when I’m in the shower and the past few days I’ve been trying to memorize Polaroid Love and it would be on loop like 5-8 times for my shower concert. Hahaha. Midday is when I take my baths when at the condo though when I think everyone on the floor, above, and below is at work. Thank goodness I haven’t had any complaints. FUN FACT, how you were holding the crochet needle properly is also how surgeons hold scalpels, forceps, and whatnot. How you were holding it prior is what we see on Med Students, one that needs correcting. So kudos on the new grip! Hehe.
I've just started learning how to crochet and I've actually seen that it's best to hold the needle(?) as a pencil, although both ways are correct, because as a pencil it gives you more mobility, but for me the most comfortable way of holding it is as you showed to be the right way
Ahhhh Cari you are the best! I started crocheting in November (I'm on my third piece now!) and I'll be in Korea for several months from March on and was contemplating wether or not to take yarn with me or where to get it in Korea and how much it would be and then you come out with this video! Can't believe it! Thank you so much and happy crocheting!
Crafts, wiggly corgi bottom, food, you're living my dream. Like the green, Very spring season. Thought about putting a cotton lining in the bag to stop pens popping through?
omg yes i love Niamh so much, her and her boyfriend are also so so cute together! I was never really a fan of taylor but when the 10min v. came out and i saw her reaction to that and the rest of taylors version, i went on such a deep dive to understand what it was all about and meanin behind all the lyrics lol
Seeing you knit reminded me of taking a knitting class in high school & how it was nice knitting baby hats & sweaters to do as part of community service. I surprised myself how much patience I had though I would lose count a lot haha. Props to you all continuing to knit or crotchet, I know it’s not for me but it was a nice skill to learn at that time.
Yes!! I love the yarn and crochet content!! The pencil hold is great when you work with fine threads. But the over-hand hold is my go-to. A few videos back you showed you crocheting sontag and it's been on my mind ever since! I'm determined to figure out how to make it!😁😊
My theory on the noise is her chopping some meat for her dog. My asian mum puts newspaper and chopping board on the floor and uses a butcher knife to bang chop the hell out of thick bone meat and it's super loud sometimes. Glad the noise stopped and love the crochet bag, I love the green!
I used to have neighbors who would bang on the walls and tap on the walls at 2 am and would play loud music you can fell the walls vibrate like thunder. So I can relate to your apartment drama. My old neighbors were so weird and just crazy. But other than that I love your crochet project. I’ve wanted to do a hay hay bag but I have so many crochet projects that I need to finish. I’m actually working on three projects for three people to sell to who want to buy from me. So I hope they love my work. P.s. sorry if my comment is long lol
Love the vlog, great bag its looks good, I literally dont have the patience for fiddly things like that. Im glad the neighbour has quietened down, my eldest in her last place lived next door to a 22 bedroom student house which was a nightmare constantly partying nobody would do anything about the noise its the councils issue but they were beyond useless, he landlord couldnt careless as he was racking in a fortune from the students, she eventually moved after a year of hell, thankfully she is in a much quieter apartment. Have a blessed weekend and cant wait for the next video, lots of love from the UK xx
i can only imagine! luckily i was able to live on campus for school where the noise level was pretty controlled but so many of the kids who lived off campus would be SO loud and we lived in an old historic neighborhood so i felt even worse for the poor neighbors :/ glad she got out!
Having a similar situation with my roommate/landlord who wakes me up most days of the week in the early morning 🤪… she does everything at maximum volume.
We have Michaels here in Canada and it's the only craft store where I live that sells yarn besides Walmart but that's a grocery store. The yarn store in your video is like heaven to me because I love art and also knitting (I knit with knitting looms). If I ever have a chance to visit Korea, I will definitely check out that yarn store.
I was in a similar situation like you, found out it was an old lady who wants to crack nuts with a hammer on the floor. So I bought her a nut cracker. :) Its a true story from Brooklyn, NY. The building construction is probably built at lowest cost with no sound insulation. BTW, You look beautiful and I am glad you are settling in Korea.
happy to report that my neighbor hasn't made the strange noise again and we're going on 2 weeks! we love character development!!!
*oops and in the first screen i obvs mean January 2022 hahah

Wow she was probably wearing heels, I have a neighbor who I used to live under who would purposely stomp on her floor all the time so I know how you feel.
The way you felt about the swiftie and the Pureness of her happiness is how we feel about you living your life and doing all the things you love 💖

I am always so inspired by your crafting videos. Thank you for sharing your project! The bag is extremely cute!

Hehhehe thank you! Have a great week too!
Hey if you want to go back to the pen-grip, I really like the Clover Amour hooks for both pen and knife grips. The set is more on the expensive side, so I would just get one or two hooks in the sizes you use frequently to test them out. I bought the set a few years ago and it was definitely worth the investment for me (but I've been crocheting for like... 15 years 👵🏻). I don't have time for hooks that don't make my life easier 🤣
Watching this while crocheting was the best pleasure ahaha. After watching you buy yarn I'm finally motivated to drive to a shop (it takes nearly an hour to get there... i've been procrastinating this for a month) and buy some new colors myself :3 Glad the situation with your neighbor resolved calmly xx
ah yes the serotonin i needed for today
I always watch your videos while i'm crocheting, its so relaxing! maybe hoping for a future crochet with me by you! it would be so relaxing! thank you so much and happy year of the tiger
When I heard the trumpet start la vie en rose I started smiling. Agreed wonderful playlist. Your vlogs are such a good vibe. Thanks for the cool content.
when i feel anxious your videos always gives me peaceful mind... really thankfull from bottom of my heart. have a good day, i will pray for you
You might be the only person ever to reasonably resolve an apartment noisy-neighbour situation lol. I'm currently dealing with someone who seems like they have some sort of vendetta against me in the apartment above me. I've taken all the usual steps, and I'm basically in the "live with it" stage, but maybe the year of the year of the tiger will bring something new. Happy Lunar New Year !
ughhh i really cant believe people can be that careless about their neighbors but hopefully new year, new (or NO) noises hahhha
Tbh love the crocheting content!
yeeee thank you!!
Hi!! I’m a new subscriber, and I just want to say that you are one of the brightest beings I’ve ever come across. Have a good day 😊
niamh adkins is ❤️!!! chats and reacts also has very long and entertaining reactions to Taylor stuff
It’s so cool that you crochet! I love seeing all the different cafes that you visit.
I feel you on the neighbor noise. I moved into a new place with my husband and our neighbors STOMP STOMP STOMP all day long. There is no soundproofing and I can hear when they open drawers, turn on their blender, etc. They also burn their food a lot and I can hear their smoke alarm. It has not been great.
MY FAVVV HOOMAN IS BACK WITH A VIDEOO
:'''''''')
I was in Seoul almost 6 years ago and wanted to buy some yarn like a souvenir, but I really didn’t know how to google yarn shop locations! Now I know where I can go during my next trip 🥺
Thank you for this video! I really love your style of vloging and editing 💕
I love that bag pattern. Looks like a fun make for me to whip up, maybe as a few gifts? You might enjoy Arne and Carlos' floral blanket patterns. I bought three of them as a pack and am working on two of them as blankets. You could easily just crochet the flowers and use them as adornments on things, including the bag you just made. I like the greens you chose. It can be so hard buying yarn, especially if you buy it online as I do so often as getting the colours to work together is a challenge. The one thing about living in Tasmania is the lack of really interesting art and craft shops with a large selection of products. Yarn is one of those things best shopped for in person. I've recently discovered The Yarn Inn which is in Latrobe in Tasmania and Sally is absolutely lovely, incredibly knowledgeable and has a beautiful range of yarn. She is one of the few here though.
1 a.m. but i’m here watching this because your vlogs are my everything🥲
omg then after have a good night!!
That bag is super cute! I love the pattern, gives me retro vibes, would be adorable with 50s sundress.
Glad your neighbor issue resolved. Strange cultural difference about the not talking to neighbor directly. Me and my downstairs neighbor exchanged phone numbers early on, since floors are super thin, we always let each other know if the other is being too loud. That's how I found out my little robot vacuum sounds like a dog playing with a heavy toy on the floor (no I don't have a dog lol), so I just switched back to my regular vacuum. It was a cheap model, so not a big deal. Maybe your neighbor has a robo vac? Floor boards magnify sounds in weird ways.
Also cookies are a great way to befriend the neighbors lol, I'm always bringing baked goods to my neighbors.
Okay, this is freaky as heck. I just started to crochet the same bag about two weeks ago, and I was in yeonnamdong for seollal vacation and I almost went to the same bagel place cause I’m a Jersey girl and I’ve been missing bagels. Thank you for sharing this store location. Dongdaemun can get a lil hectic for me, so I’ve been trying to find places to buy yarn from that won't trigger my anxiety. I’m definitely going to check this out next weekend, and maybe film my own adventure :)
ahhhh love parallel lives ahhahah the bagels were nothing to really write home about BUT the toppings covered all that and made it delicious - havent had capers and all that vinegar goodness in a long time :') def doesnt compare to jersey tho :'''''( and the store is so calm and prices are clearly marked so its really stress free. highly recommend!!!!
omgg that yarn store looks like absolute heaven
right?! its more expensive than the yarn markets but less stressful cause things are priced and you dont have to haggle hahhaa
Hi! Loved your video! I just wanted to mention that both ways of holding your hook is right! One is called the knife grip and the other is the pencil grip, It's different for everyone, but both work! I personally use both because it gets tiring to do one or the other for a while but yeah!
when your in yeonhui you should try visiting everything bagel. best bagel i had in Korea 🥰😋
omg yes i've heard amazing things!!!
Those yarns! So pretty. I would have to stop myself from buying everything too.
I learned how to crochet holding the hook the same way, like a pencil. But after I learned how to knit and went back to crochet, I held the hook like I would a knitting needle. It's so much easier for me.
the yarn shop clip gave me so much happiness!! it’s quite hard to find nice yarn where i’m from and i could only dream of having such a huge place to buy it from. thanks for sharing the joy, cari! hugs ❤️
hope you can find some good yarn sources soon!!
Just stumbled across your channel. I lived in Wonju for a few years and spent money weekends in Seoul. Loving the memories your videos are bringing back. Love from Scotland
Wow you have golden hands! I'm sure I won't be able to make it so nicely like what you did.
Hahahah if you look close enough its definitely a little messy 😂
Not on topic, and I'm sure you don't remember but in a video where you were talking about students going through university online I commented that I was feeling hopeless because I felt like I was doing nothing and everything at once. Now, a couple months (?) later, I got a job. It's a bit out of my confort zone and I'm new, but things are looking up. I get so nervous that I feel actually sick, but this will be experience for the future. And starting to make some money is good too ✨
LOL I just wanted to give a small follow up since I feel like I'm always with you (in a way, watching the videos) when I feel hopeless and trying to get through. Cari, I think I'm making it through ✨
I'm binge watching your videos Cari it's literally soothing my anxiety, thank you for your perfect videos,im not sure if you'll see this comment but I got excited when I saw you watching season 7 of Drag Race which is m favorite song I'm wondering if you have favorite queens from this season or any season in general
OMG. I am that noisy neighbor. I usually sing when I’m in the shower and the past few days I’ve been trying to memorize Polaroid Love and it would be on loop like 5-8 times for my shower concert. Hahaha. Midday is when I take my baths when at the condo though when I think everyone on the floor, above, and below is at work. Thank goodness I haven’t had any complaints. FUN FACT, how you were holding the crochet needle properly is also how surgeons hold scalpels, forceps, and whatnot. How you were holding it prior is what we see on Med Students, one that needs correcting. So kudos on the new grip! Hehe.
good to know i can use a scalpel now hahahah and yeah i think any noise from 10am to 9pm is fine, people need to live!!!
Cari !!! I want your bag !! Lol it’s so cute 😍🙌🏻
wahhh thank you! try making it!!!
love the colours u chose for ur bag
Love my weekend cari cakes vlogs ✨
Yey! Another cari vlog! You always complete my Sundays
hope you have a great weekend!
I've just started learning how to crochet and I've actually seen that it's best to hold the needle(?) as a pencil, although both ways are correct, because as a pencil it gives you more mobility, but for me the most comfortable way of holding it is as you showed to be the right way
cari first before doing my laundry 😜🧡
hehehe thanks for watching!
ummmm that yarn store is a dream!!! OMG
cari! the clip of you slowly realizing the cafe song was la vie en rose. THIS MADE ME SMILE SO HARD.
🥲🥲🥲
Please keen on doing these type of vlogs I’m in love 😻
Sending you all the love ❤️
Straight Serotoninnnn for the entire 20 min 🥰🤩
!!!! How did I not know about this yarn store omg ily
The Corgi, the bagel, the company, the music. What a great stroll!
... girl, you are watching the best RuPaul's ever.
SUCH A GOOD SEASON
Trixie and Katya iconic
When I see a new Cari video going live, I know I stayed up too late because your upload hour is always 1 am where I live lol
gah! hope this helps you fall asleep hahahaa
Watching your vlogs while playing a dumb videogame on my tablet is the best act of self care I know
LMAO love it!!
could you possibly film a whats in my purse video? I luv watching them and it would be rly cool to see, especially with the new bag you crocheted!
Your videos sooth my soul
Ahhhh Cari you are the best! I started crocheting in November (I'm on my third piece now!) and I'll be in Korea for several months from March on and was contemplating wether or not to take yarn with me or where to get it in Korea and how much it would be and then you come out with this video! Can't believe it! Thank you so much and happy crocheting!
😍😍😍😍😍
Crafts, wiggly corgi bottom, food, you're living my dream. Like the green, Very spring season. Thought about putting a cotton lining in the bag to stop pens popping through?
my mom just told me to do that yesterday! ahhah right now the stitches are tight enough that my pen was fine but i might add that!
You have inspired me to take up crochet.
I love how your project turned out! It looks perfect for spring.
omg yes i love Niamh so much, her and her boyfriend are also so so cute together! I was never really a fan of taylor but when the 10min v. came out and i saw her reaction to that and the rest of taylors version, i went on such a deep dive to understand what it was all about and meanin behind all the lyrics lol
Seeing you knit reminded me of taking a knitting class in high school & how it was nice knitting baby hats & sweaters to do as part of community service. I surprised myself how much patience I had though I would lose count a lot haha. Props to you all continuing to knit or crotchet, I know it’s not for me but it was a nice skill to learn at that time.
Yes!! I love the yarn and crochet content!! The pencil hold is great when you work with fine threads. But the over-hand hold is my go-to. A few videos back you showed you crocheting sontag and it's been on my mind ever since! I'm determined to figure out how to make it!😁😊
Omg yesss there are plenty of patterns! Mine was from etsy and maybe the only crochet one you’ll find - the rest are knit!
@@caricakes Omg thank you so much!! Exactly - all I could find was knit. Oh I'm so excited now!😊 Can't wait to get to it!💖
I am so jelly, that is the BIGGEST yarn store I've EVER seen!!! Going to go knit in a cafe Monday because of this video lol
omg YES enjoy!!!!
Wait till you see the basement of Dongdaemun Jonghap Mall.. literally a 3,500 sq m space of yarn
Watching this in my lazy sunday without sun today ☔
Love your video as always 💕
have a cozy day!
@@caricakes you too !!!
My theory on the noise is her chopping some meat for her dog. My asian mum puts newspaper and chopping board on the floor and uses a butcher knife to bang chop the hell out of thick bone meat and it's super loud sometimes. Glad the noise stopped and love the crochet bag, I love the green!
Loved the random german poster about a monk from Gallen in the bagel café hahaha
Seeing your crochet creation makes me wanna try taking it up! Also that first cafe, with the wooden old-timey vibes, it’s so beautiful 😍
yes definitely do it!! and right? i felt like i was in a little cabin :)
I used to have neighbors who would bang on the walls and tap on the walls at 2 am and would play loud music you can fell the walls vibrate like thunder. So I can relate to your apartment drama. My old neighbors were so weird and just crazy. But other than that I love your crochet project. I’ve wanted to do a hay hay bag but I have so many crochet projects that I need to finish. I’m actually working on three projects for three people to sell to who want to buy from me. So I hope they love my work.
P.s. sorry if my comment is long lol
I started my first ever crochet project two days ago so I was really happy to see this video!! It's just so cozy to crochet togheter
Love the vlog, great bag its looks good, I literally dont have the patience for fiddly things like that. Im glad the neighbour has quietened down, my eldest in her last place lived next door to a 22 bedroom student house which was a nightmare constantly partying nobody would do anything about the noise its the councils issue but they were beyond useless, he landlord couldnt careless as he was racking in a fortune from the students, she eventually moved after a year of hell, thankfully she is in a much quieter apartment. Have a blessed weekend and cant wait for the next video, lots of love from the UK xx
i can only imagine! luckily i was able to live on campus for school where the noise level was pretty controlled but so many of the kids who lived off campus would be SO loud and we lived in an old historic neighborhood so i felt even worse for the poor neighbors :/ glad she got out!
Having a similar situation with my roommate/landlord who wakes me up most days of the week in the early morning 🤪… she does everything at maximum volume.
noooooo!! i feel like after 9/10am noise is okay but before that its like, lets try to use inside voices plsss? hahah
Love little coffee shops so eclectic..and great yarn shop. So jealous…
We have Michaels here in Canada and it's the only craft store where I live that sells yarn besides Walmart but that's a grocery store. The yarn store in your video is like heaven to me because I love art and also knitting (I knit with knitting looms). If I ever have a chance to visit Korea, I will definitely check out that yarn store.
I was in a similar situation like you, found out it was an old lady who wants to crack nuts with a hammer on the floor. So I bought her a nut cracker. :) Its a true story from Brooklyn, NY.
The building construction is probably built at lowest cost with no sound insulation.
BTW, You look beautiful and I am glad you are settling in Korea.
That start scene is literally perfect it makes me want to buy more yarn even tho I’ve got enough for now
Ok I loved the whole video!
