Passion for knitting yarn, making clothes, handmade clothing and a beautiful knitwear. I love to knit with leftover yarn and I lean towards natural fiber when I can. Knitting socks is like knitting therapy for me but I do love finished projects and gift hand made items to people so keep an eye for a handmade giveaways. I am so grateful for this knitting community who encourages me to design my own knitting patterns and record some knitting tutorials too. Barbara
I would love something like this but to knit top down though ☺️ button up is not my fav. I like also hard at the beginning when energy is high then easy at the end
❤your colors. Fingers are so much fun to knit!!! Thumb gusset increases complete. Place stitches on holder. Then gently knit 3 or more round before starting the fingers, is what I do. I have knit as much as 8 rounds plain prior to beginning the fingers. You are so talented. You will definitely know what to do for your tiny person ❤
@@denisewessman1079 Thank you ♥️ I am going definitely knit another pair and hopefully I’ll not skip this part again. The 8 rounds feels right to me. However this time I’ll knit one glove at a time. Knitting two at a time was too much hassle with the yarn management. Now finish socks for my toddler 48 sts then back to gloves ♥️😃👍🏻
@@irisclark2901 yes, my go to is a true afterthought heel (so the one where you cut the yarn) Do you knit the same one or the one where you use a waste yarn?
You are going to LOVE your Nebula. I’ve been dying to wear mine, but it has been around 28 degrees C here lately, with no end in sight. I would make the icord for the ear flaps. It seems a shame to spend the time making the flaps, only to tuck them away where no one can see them. ❤
Much further north than I live in Minnesota they make the cap kind of like Sherlock Holmes had where the flaps tie on top of the hat when not needed, but they’re very long flaps
Mommy you need a BIG rest! We can see how tired you are. You are speaking on triple speed. Take care of yourself please. Try to get a responsible teenager neighbor to come and play and take the children for a walk outside. You must have a bit of a break. So you can rest. I bought your hat pattern a while back. Will you be sending out an up date with the ear covering. I have made the hat a few times. Please take care of yourself ❤
@@ronakornfeld6449 ♥️ Thank you so much. I try my best. ♥️ I’m planning to knit the earflaps for adult size soon and if I get the look I want I’ll add it to the pattern (update it with an extra page)

I finished my Nebula a couple days ago, and I love it for all the reasons you want to make yours! I did the increases the way the pattern calls for because I’m not smart enough to go my own way just yet. 😅 That portrait of you is absolutely lovely. What a thoughtful gift! ❤
@@Knittingilove Being a mom is the most important job in the world, and also one of the hardest and can be very rewarding.... but definitely a hard busy job! Give yourself a pat on the back for being a mom to 3 young children. You are a great mom, and a knitwear designer, and a business woman, and a wife, and a woman..... that is a lot of hats.....design and knit time will come eventually. We will all patiently wait and enjoy you sharing your family adventures with us.
Hello your socks is beautiful. So glad you found the old wip...it is beautiful. I am currently working on a test knit for a summer top. Love your little helper.
