Grab yourself a cuppa or a glass of something cold, pick up your latest project and join me as I talk about what I am knitting, sewing, reading and watching this week. I love to knit socks and jumpers for myself and my family. I love to sew small cuddly toys. Join me as I embark on my EPP and crochet journey. My videos will often feature my two co stars - Milo the crazy cockapoo puppy and the name sake behind this channel my precious son Samuel. I'm a Mum, a teacher and an avid crafter. I’m like a magpie I see a new idea and I want to try it. I love all crafts, sewing, knitting, embroidery and dress making to name just a few. I live in Southend on sea in Essex England. #sockknitting #sewing #knitting #crochet #coolcrafting #craftpod #flosstube #crossstitch #EPP instagram.com/sewsweetsamuel?igsh=MWZya3ZkbDVuM2NmcA%3D%3D& ko-fi.com/lindsey1974
It would be really helpful to see more of what you’re doing with the needles because I can’t work out how you are manipulating the cord and managing to have enough room to move your needles to make a stitch. Many thanks 😊
Liberty is so beautiful. There is nothing else like it. The colors, the touch. Your dress is wonderful. After I win the lottery, I will have a bolt of virtually every pattern in every colorway. 🥰
You’re not wrong there it is amazing fabric I love it. I think I would be the same, actually when I went to Liberty’s for the first time this summer I said I wanted it all it was all so lovely how could you possibly choose xx
Oh, Mum, you've got me in my ear. That's okay. You've got two. Ow! You've got me in the cheek! That's okay, You've got two. Me waiting for: AHH. You've got me in the eye. That's okay. You've got two. LOL Love your mum! 🤣🤣
@sleepycalico thank you, it’s horrible to be honest but hopefully her treatment will be starting in the next month and then she will be back to normal fingers crossed 🤞 but it’s awful seeing her in so much pain and crying in pain and I can’t help her other than be there holding her hand xx
Thank you so much for your really clear sock tutorial. I can knit anything I lend my hand to. Except iv got a fear of making socks. I might be brave enough now to try and make some. Thank you 😊
Thank you so much, I treated myself in the summer to Liberty fabric to make a special dress for one of my best friends she is getting married in November and I wanted a special dress to wear to the wedding xx
I know - I ran out of storage you know what my silly phone is like but I have written all the instructions in the description box for everyone darling xxx
Thank you - you wouldn’t believe the mess I got into trying to do the darts on Sunday I couldn’t do them for love or money- today managed straight away - lesson learnt don’t sew when I have a house full of people who all need me!!! 🤣🤣
Oh!!!! 🥰 Thank you SO MUCH for this tutorial. You explain everything so well and I think I can handle socks! I wish you could sit next to me, but I'll sort of put you next to me while I give it a try! 😆😁💕
Oh gosh Lindsay! I visited Coolcrafting today for the first time and OMG I just wished I had saved up beforehand! It was a very rainy day but hey hoo. My husband and I are house hunting hopefully in the area from The Wirral. I was totally like a kid in a candy store! As yet I haven't made Luna Lapin but have all the materials to do so tucked away safe in my craft room. So I wanted to purchase her chair kit (which I did) yeah! But then like yourself I went down the Luna rabbit hole!!!! I also 'TREATED' myself to her ballet wrap & slippers knitting patten, Lunas wool coat felt , raglan sleeve cardigan with scarf & pockets, 2 x raglan sleeve dress kits, ballerina skirt material, the Flora Lapin kit and Bramble bear kit in biscuit!!!!! Lindsay my darling patient husband walked our little dog around the whole town twice! and even took photos for 2 ladies outside the shop! whilst I was in there! what a gem, But I did treat him to lunch for his kindness. I loved the shop and I must truly say I didn't get to look all around it I was too engrossed in Luna! so, that means only one thing doesn't it? Yes I will have to visit again, and again and again!!! Lovely videos I enjoy watching them all. Thankyou for taking the time to film your day/makes I know just how busy you must be. I am so pleased that Samuel is settling into his new school (I am a retired Home Economics teacher, I took early retirement) and my husband is also a teacher of History (not yet retired but hoping to soon)! Take care and thanks again x
lol it’s an amazing rabbit hole to fall down isn’t it, and so many nice things down there! The shop is amazing I hope I can go back next year I loved it. Yes my poor husband walked around outside with Milo the dog ! I had so much fun inside I could have brought more next year I’ll have an even better plan! What do you think you’ll make first? Xx
@@sewsweetsamuel4865 What would we have done without our hubbies! I need to make Luna first. I thought I had previously bought the felt to make her by doing online shopping with them but I didnt! the one they had sent to me did say on the invoice that it was Luna grey but it is more light browny grey? what is your Lunas colour? x
im not very good at sewing and would not know the first thing about a sewing pattern however you have inspired me to realy want to make a rabbit or sheep , most you tubers make them on sewing machine , is it possible to sew by hand and suitable for a beginner ? loving your videos very inspiring x
Hello yes most definitely you can sew it all by hand I hand sew all mine, the only one I have ever done on the machine is the giant Luna. You should definitely give it a go. I’m going to make another one soon. Cool crafting does support videos for all the animals on RU-vid as well but if I can help please feel free to ask me xx
Great video. I have never felt confident to try magic loop as it always looked complicated but I will now give it a go. I have only ever knitted one sock (on DPNs) and I gave up as I couldn't join the toe properly and I got ladders in the knitting. Thank you for the great tutorial. I look forward to the next one 😀
Watching you while I'm knitting on my socks for October, it was interesting to see how different people do things as i've only been knitting socks for a couple of years. I wouldn't be able to knit on a cable that short though, i use at least 100cm cable and do my first two rows flat as i just can't stop the stiches twisting if i go straight into the knitting. I'm a tight knitter so for me i cast on 64 stitches, (either that or else i have fat feet 🤣) I'll be interested to see how you knit your heel, I've tried a few methods and have yet to settle on a favourite. Thanks for taking the time to record how you knit yours
Hi i enjoyed your video as i am a crafter i would love to get the large Luna pattern i am making a 1 1/2" hexagon quilt at the moment and i need a new project look forward to your next video xx
Thank you so much. The large pattern is available on the cool crafting website but you will need to know how to make the small Luna. Have you made one before? Because you’ll need the instructions as they are exactly the same. Is it going to be a large quilt? What colours are you using? I hope to do another one very soon xx
@@sewsweetsamuel4865 Hi I have made about 20 Luna's and sold them at craft fairs I love making things I love your videos right up my street will binge watch later thank you xx😍
The elastic thread is amazing it makes attaching the limbs so much easier. Thank you it was just what I was looking for. It is such a beautiful shop we hope to go again over Christmas time as it’s meant to be really pretty xx
Hi Lindsey lovely to see you x wow love your mckenzie wow she has taken some work x I’m working on some crocodile sleepers for one of my grandsons some toys for the others a cardigan for me and socks for my sons x
Hi Lindsey, loving your cross stitching. Your work is so beautiful. Now I simply love your bags. The zipped one really appeals to me more. If you sell any, please can you keep me in mind. I’d love one. Xx
Thank you so much - will £15 be ok with you for the bag? I’ll get it made it asap and get it posted to you. If I list it on Kofi when it’s made you can pay for it via Kofi if that’s ok? Xx
Hi, I enjoyed the unboxing it's nice to see what you get sometimes. I really love that cat needleminder too. I'm sure Sherrie will really love the project bags they look really nice and great material. See you next time ... 😊
