Thank you very much! Easy explanation, simple technique. I was having a problem with my bobbles hanging down after I did them. Thankfully I am not too far along in my project that I can start over and do it the right way. Thanks again!
is there someway to know how many stitches i should work on the hell turning? i am using another kind of yarn, and i started the sock with 88 sts, 44 for the heel, and now i don't know how to turn it

Its good you are taking a break, you need to do it and you definitely deserve it!! Enjoy your break, looking forward to your return with lovely projects to share....enjoy your time away from RU-vid, see you when you get back. Take your time, enjoy the peace and quiet!! See you soon lovely, have a great summer!!!xx
for your cotton bag - have you seen the trick to use a left needle 1 size smaller than the right needle? will need to swap to interchangeables but you keep gauge because of the right hand needle. there is a bit more slack when you go to knit the stitches off the left hand needle which may help the struggle to get under those stitches without a stretch in the yarn! just a thought 🥰
Have a great break. You deserve it. See you when you return. Love the crochet blanket. ❤. The Furls hooks don’t work for me either. I just use the Clover grip ones. They work so well for my crochet style. I have tried so many myself. Tools are so important for sure.
I’m a continental knitter and that is by far the fastest way for me. I use very little movements and even my purl is as fast as your flicking 😊 It is a question of keeping your index fingers close to the needle tips for minimal movement 😊
I'm using Red Heart Classic Crochet Thread Size 10 for my epic mal project. I get it from my local walmart but it's available online from several places. It's the softest size 10 cotton thread from the big manufacturers in my opinion. The 1000 yard balls only come in two colors, white and ecru; but that's what dye is for.
It's me, it's me! My Antique Flora! Mara (rhymes with Clara). Yay! A Ravelry friend reached out and mentioned this so I had to run over and see! Squee! You didn't mention your gorgeous Wolke in Grimm and (my favorite!) Courtesan that I used to make it!
Mara!! So sorry I didn't remember your name. 🙈 I'm usually flying by the seat of my pants when I record 😂SUCH a stunning sweater!! I had to shout you out 💖
Kristin, I hope you have a great break! Looking forward to your return and all the projects you’ll have to show us. ❤️ I, too, am a glutton for half-square triangles. 🙋♀️ There’s a computer program called Triangulations that you might be interested in; Fat Quarter Shop sells it. You print sheets of paper that have sewing lines and cutting lines (it’s kind of like paper-piecing but SO much easier, you don’t have to guess what shape to cut). Cut two fabrics into 8.5”x11” pieces to match the paper, and put right sides together; put the paper on top and sew on the dashed sewing lines; after they’re sewn cut on the solid cutting lines; and then all you have to do is iron the half-square triangles, no truing up required! It’s great for when you need a lot of the same-colored half-square triangles, especially small ones. I don’t know if my explanation made sense, but it really is a great program, so I hope you’ll look into it. ❤️
Thanks so much, Katie - AND for the software recommendation!! Still trying to wrap my brain around EQ8 but the more quilty tech, the merrier! 😂 Excited to check out Triangulations - it sounds super helpful.
Have a great summer holiday! It should be common sense for creators to take a yearly vacation to recharge like everybode else! I'd rather 'miss' someone's content for a couple of months, than watch them slowly burn out. I hope others follow your example 😊
Have a great summer! I like plain metal crochet hooks, back 50+ years ago that was all we had. I have some big fat plastic crochet hooks for really thick yarn.
Enjoy your summer Kristin! About the throw, maybe just rotate it and us these 250 st as the high side and make the width whatever number of rows you need to end with good size throw blanket?!
Your quilted pillow looks wonderful. Unfortunately, I have a beautiful Furls crochet hook that I do not use. ☹️ Enjoy your break! 🖤 Margot is looking great with her shawls. 🧶 Great job on your earrings!
When you said: I have small lady hands, I don't now why but it sounded so sweet. And your nailpolish is exactly the same colour as a Revlon lipstick I used back in the late 80's. I was so " obsessed" with that colour 😁 It's a gorgeous one. Die for your jewellry designs...oh oh ooohh my Lord for the gothic earrings especially. Have a nice holiday Kristin. See you in September. 🖤🦋🖤 Psst: A rose is a rouge - lipstick name. What's your nailpolish ?
Thank you so much! 🥰 Ugh! This color is everything!! it's Essie's "Ferris Of Them All" - a mauve with a subtle gold shimmer amzn.to/3xWPL9S Now I must find that lipstick! 😆
It is Amazing how long you have been podcasting. Good for you to acknowledge you need a break! Have an enjoyable break. See you back refreshed and inspired to make new projects.
Have a great break Kristin!!! Do you have the link for your crochet hooks. I also get hand pain from crochet. I have made that antique flora and I think that pattern needs some revisiting for sleeves and gauge, ihmo. Have fun, get some rest, All the best, Kimberly
Thank you, Kimberly!! 🤗 Ahh, totally forgot to link them. amzn.to/3Wl4CEg And thanks for the heads-up about Antique Flora. I actually cast on the Lunar Embrace 🙈 Hope you're having a fun/restful summer! 💖
For the record: I knit the Antique Flora (featured here!) in Wolke, so fingering and NOT the worsted called for. I guess I figured 24/4 inches wasn't that crazy for a fingering, and seemed like a lot of stitches for a worsted. I may have had a slightly tighter gauge because I did somewhere between a 48 and 52 inch bust and it looks pretty fitted so minimal ease on my 48" bust. Also I wanted to make sure I had enough ease in the sleeves so I just cast on more stitches...not thinking about all the colorwork that is under the sleeve, with differences in the pattern for each size. So I charted my own underarm pattern to accommodate the extra stitches I cast on.
@@marapowell8659 I wrote a whole thing on it on my Ravelry too about my experience with that pattern. I used mainly the right size (worsted and heavier dk) but found their sleeves to be too tight which is why I thought many people opted for a shorter sleeve. I admire your work for recharting. I didn't have it in me at the time. In order for me to make sleeves fit, I would have also needed to re-chart. Yours looks lovely! - Kimberly
Enjoy your break. You’ll be missed. Also no need to apologize for showing all the cool projects. I am loving your beading. I want to try but looks intimidating. Have a great summer
Aww, thanks so much, Julie 🥰 Beadweaving isn't as scary as it seems. As will learning all new things... one step at a time. Breaking it down into small bits. And all that jazz! 😉
Have a restful hiatus, Kristin! I will look forward to seeing all of the projects that you undertake from now until September! I am intrigued by your bead-weaving...you may have started something.
Enjoy your time away, Kristin! 🙋🌞 "See you in September" (old song recorded in 1966 by The Happenings) 🙂 Waaaaay before your time but a fun song! Google it! 🙂
