Episode 34 - did you look in your stash?

[Music] [Applause] [Music] hi welcome to the fiber friends episode 34 34 hi I'm Adrienne hi I'm Louise and hello I'm Caroline pause I don't have time for all the graphics it's a Starbucks day not a Tim Hortons day huh look at that yes so it's high society day okay one another one store bombing any other Tim Hortons you know yeah see I can't go to start no I don't know if that's a I want five bucks a lottery kind of dance okay exactly no this is um telling the girls I had to get the challah I had to get the right holiday cup it took me three tries but I finally got the one that I wanted and now I can go back to Tim Hortons yeah well I enjoyed mmm the beverage I enjoyed the beverage cool so I want to know though are you now that you have the pretty one are you gonna keep it oh you guys did not hear the beginning of this story of how she asked the poor girl at the drive-thru a super girl I was very nice well I know but she's probably think I'm a little well I got I the first time I went it was November first because I launched my holiday bags on November 1st to coincide with the launch of the holiday cups at Starbucks at Starbucks I didn't enter Morton's Oates importance does it November 1st - well that's what I thought I don't know apparently not I went to Starbucks and they handed me a plain cup and I'm like this is not good sorry to interrupt your story but Inge's thank you sorry that was an emergency oh that's okay until I find the end of my yard thank you thank you they gave me they gave me the red stripe cut now I don't know anything about Starbucks is red stripe like they're just there everyday normal thing I mmm every year they come out with a holiday cup so they handed me this red stripe Cup and I thought oh that's their holiday Cup this year took it home and like it's kind of plain so my mom right you know you were saying so then I talked about it on my philosophy of Channel and some some lovely people wrote back and said don't give up it's not the only one there's four different ones and someone posted on Friday off the grid they yesterday should post a picture of all four like she went and she lined up for and she said look there's four different ones it was awesome so I went back this morning I know I went back after I first found out there were more and I went through the drive-thru and I waited and I got handed the red stripe top again okay so hold on I'm still confused is the red stripe is part of their holiday yes okay yeah it's boring it's not great boring okay poor red stripe so then I thought okay I'm only giving this one more try because it's too expensive but I really wanted a pretty cup so I went back this morning and I drove up to the width of the speaker I said this is the drink that I'd like didn't excuse me I didn't do that and may I please have it in a green cup she said a green cup yes I keep getting the red stripe and she laughed and she said I'll see if I can find you a green cup and then I may have said may I please have a snowman cookie she said this is where it gets good what color scarf would you like on your cookie we have green or blue I said I don't really care about the Snowman cookie I'm just gonna eat that I just I really want a green cup okay small things people small things and now I've had it I'm perfectly happy I won't get another one so this is the green cup well it's one of the green cups I was actually hoping for the other green cup the one it's darker green and it's got snowflakes on it and it's really pretty so this is Holly this is lovely it's very I have to say I'm not a Starbucks part because I don't drink coffee or tea I even just a hot chocolate person and when I go to Starbucks or Williams that can is the heck out of me okay there's a lot of choice there's too much Troy I brought hot chocolate yeah I don't care if it's a double this or this or a whipped cream or cinnamon and blah blah blah and even Tim Hortons is confusing me this year because they have us they have a Nestle's chocolate and white chocolate Wow and they have pretty like holiday cups yes Tim Hortons does as well but they're a little later than Starbucks I think okay it's okay it's all good I have my cup now we can move on at least we can for incident music again I like seeing your life prosper or jars perfect so then you will keep it well for a little bit you know I'm not gonna keep it forever but beside my Z I put it beside my stitching and while I'm stitching the ends of your philosophy are called orts and you don't want your house littered with orts so you put the more marks container so that is what I use and that's gonna be you're gonna have a fancy orchid I'm gonna have a fancy art container I have another one upstairs it's a candy dish that says prozac that's my other container okay hilarious well I'm so sorry sorry I knew I had the girl at the drive-thru was happy she was very helpful that's good excellent should we move on to knitting sure sorry that was funny I did something fun this week what did you do uh actually last weekend and again this week so a bunch of my colleagues at work have decided because they've been watching me knit for last year and half and so they've decided that they want in it so some of them have never knit before some of them used to knit but having it in years and all the sort of stuff so couple weeks ago I took two of them yarn shopping yeah and we bought yarn and needles and they were just like why did you take them I drew from the London area yeah because of the pattern that they wanted to do that was like the best place for that kind of yarn they're trying to do a really simple poncho sweater so it's basically but just a big rectangle in the middle like a swatch oh yeah yeah pretty much it's just a big rectangle with buttons down the sides and then you add the cowl-neck on afterwards right like that so super simple and watching the lemon yarns and we were talking about yarn choices and things like that and they're like oh but we have this worsted say that you could do triple strands and get this and and so I am I talking about gauging and stop it and the people I'm with it like floods just kind of like look they're big eyes and we're like oh it's okay I'll take care so like just pick colors okay we started a knitting club thank you so we have three people that are gonna knit that sweater and then are you knitting no I don't get very much knitting done when I'm there with them because they need yeah oh yeah alright so yeah so that's fun and then the first week that we did it we invented a a male knitter that's just starting so you came in and did some knitting and stuff when we were getting him he's got a cast on down now we're just getting used to the knit stitch that is so funny he'll cast on and the first row and then like like within two stitches at the end of the first row and then I can get flustered and you'll rip it all out and start all over again cuz then go back to casting oh it's flowing deering it's so cute so that's fun so it's actually a lot of fun to see like the excitement of stuff like that and so I was working with the one girl the other day and like the white knuckling on them because you're working here it's like like so if you let go the tension while you put in there it's just a door it is so adorable so there's nothing like a new I know you are making new knitters I love it that's a really good story that's way like my Starbucks red stripe cup we should have led with that that's great that's really cool really looking forward to it so and another lady it's fairly often but she complain that she never had the time and so I convinced her that she did have the time so now before she comes to work she sets the timer and she's knit for 15 minutes before she leaves the house for work every morning she's knitting like blankets for Christmas nice big thick chunky all right so it doesn't take a lot of time but she's knitting blanks for all her kids for this Christmas so she's got one and a half done and she still got another month ago and they're just zooming on it's so fun to watch everyone's all excited about found out that one of our interns is an embroiderer it took it took a while right like that they had watch me um I brew my knitting all of his meetings lunchtime like it's almost always with me that when I really am working yes well but so like everyone just kind of makes jokes about the fact that I call you just gonna turn it in it's gonna be a good one yeah long meeting today yeah but it does help you concentrate totally does yeah I took my ninny I had to do a full day of first days in CPR last week at work and I took my knitting with me but I didn't knit through it I just I pulled it out it breaks mm-hm and I was making this hat I was all done I was all done this hat except for the crown decreases so I was working on those when we took a break and then I put it on my mannequin because I figured what your name was yeah McKenzie he was leaving teaching us he all the mannequins that's why my mannequin have a name they all I think they all have names yeah anyways I thought she needed she had her clothes on and watch her head clothes my man I can yeah I had a big HR meeting they are contracts big contracts got renewed for a department for our union thingy so HR was just going through all the changes so it was like an hour-long meeting a bit like um so i sat there how am i perfect I can sit here knit for an hour and get paid for it and I got stopped by the three different people what do you you should stop bragging about the fact that you can just go to work and do that because I might just stick you with one of my DB ends and for 24 hours mass yes cuz I don't have time to take it during the regular year in a clock well if you wanna take it break a body part yeah that's a good way to use your vacation or I could just wait until the holidays you know take your friend so yes like I I'm known as the knitter at work so that's a nice thing to be doing my people have bought me their knitting at meetings they have heard the time yeah people I barely know show up and become you know read the pattern on the spot okay no problem it would probably help you with your you know learning how to figure out mistakes and stuff actually it's true I was having a conversation with one of my new knitters and we had a big conversation about how to read your knitting and so I started her off like the very first row like how do you tell she was doing a one by one knit purl knit purl mm-hm how do you on this book yarn was it look like what are we looking at and all that's her stuff and I'm like okay you see two of those bumps in a row stop bring it in and well then I'll teach you how to fix it speaking of reading your knitting you should read yours I have a feeling I twisted my yarn when I joined this Oh I wasn't planning on it the Mobius hat so next time next video also I'll bring it up there was a couple people you had mentioned casting on using Portuguese knitting yes and we had some people who were interested in seeing you do that so we can do that okay next video I didn't trust it so you're okay I'm good so the next video will set in Louie's up so that you can watch her cast on Portuguese madness you know how happy that makes they'll kick me out of the room well you could just be a good sport there you go um so yeah Portuguese cast on what was the other side so waited some great comments on the last we always get great comments let's say yes really really nice uh any fos today other than what's on your head no we're all looking at you know I know it's been busy yeah I have had a very lackluster knitting two weeks yeah we're going crazy maybe you should take some vacation throughout the year I can't you're just well that's right cuz you're a teacher so you can't yeah I can't I can't take if the students are there I have to be there and if I'm not teaching I'm at my regular job and since my regular job is about supporting students and I'm a department of one so they expect me to be there really yeah so that's why you know I took a couple days off during fall reading week and I'll take journey Christmas holidays and the Christmas exams cuz they don't use me it's not sure an exam side you know I don't have to be there and then taking spring break off good nice for work I know and then I come back and I get the rest that week off so that's good so it'll be fun I have to work while I'm in Vegas not okay just get the like go enjoy Vegas I'm gonna be sequestered in a you know big conference ballroom listening to people talk for hours and hours and hours remember you can knitting yep hey turn see back in like grade eight or whenever we did that career counseling stuff if only they had said this and this and this occupation you can knit while you work all right might have changed my career path there you go so you know show us Ben I juice all the sudden have this thought Adrienne's gonna ask me what the pattern name is yeah and I don't barely speaking text it to me and I will put it in like I'll put it somewhere so people can look at this look at this and there yeah yeah right there see the pattern okay it's almost like an accent Oh powder oh yeah it's really cute actually that's really really and I can I saw I stirred this is a one night knit it can get one night for her no really a nice to look at there's like I said it's not skinny yarn it slopey it is a bulky weight I did it that way unit instead of your sweater yes I downgrade it a little bit good for you but I wasn't happy with my sweater I wasn't loving knitting it it just so I pulled it out and I put just grab these two balls and decided I wouldn't hit a hat on October 31st the last day of the middle of the and what happens [Laughter] I'm coming you didn't say it somebody had to that's true well this is a fun net and it really did what do you say to that sorry though carry on I chose two skeins of yarn and I cast on and I knit a dad just for a little extra fun I did a two pillar cast one did some ribbing and then 15 rows of pattern in the round there was only a couple of rows that you actually had to strand there's the inside of it it was fine and then then like nine rounds to do the top decreases that's really pretty it's good I can't believe you're touching it yeah I know but it let me tell you I have actually in my true passion I wove the ends in last night and I'd already worn on your forehead because like I would think that that great this part right here would get irritated honestly the first time I put it on it did it was itchy and I I wore it as long as I could I check it off have you washed it no because I want to get the full effect of the yarn and I can't yeah now it doesn't bother me okay and I've worn it I wore it out this morning in the snow I write the other night and pouring like trench will down I really like it I actually I would probably make one but I'd make it a little bit longer okay you could do that so yeah I actually for a beanie type hat I quite like it and I think it's because it's a much thicker yarn mmm it's it's better not like a worsted our fingering that feels yeah that feels like a Canadian it is it is it is warm it's nice that's why I like it like any in a way of colors yeah I love our cast on with the two colors yeah the design detail is warm and yes and now that I've worn it a bit I it doesn't doesn't bother doesn't bother me and then when you wash it it will soften up yeah but yep this is real wool yes it is I'll take my fig well okay so this is one finish so Carolyn did you have a finish well I'm wearing an old finish I love oh I really did - are you bleeding I am well we'll check in a moment okay so this is a Jarrod flied I got two fingers - I got I did one and then I immediately did the other one Jarrod flood it's the two by two rib scarf you could it's a freebie pattern online it's just Jarrett you just search Jarrod flied rib scarf and you'll come up with it and it's for schemes of Noro silk garden right yes so it's squishy and cozy and delicious feeling and I love it I wear it all the time I usually wear it under my coat so that's actually why I'm just I figured because I was wearing it today it's snowing and we were recording I thought I'll just leave it on because then I could show off the fact that I do finish things sometimes and wears them and look a wonderful yes gorgeous I know thanks I am also hoping to have a finish by the time we're done play by the time we're done podcasting for at 24 minutes and I'm I'm I'm a slow knitter when I'm talking so much love will spread that though I am on the toe you can do it of my sock my mom or self - oh yeah it's not - look Simon I know I almost have a pair so you didn't do it I know I have a few more decrease rows to go so I will tell you about my yarn when you're done with the knit knit cuz we're not we cannot ranch this Ontario gun okay I have another finish what hi I know show off I know because it is Christmas season yeah and my chunky yarn it is true you know if you want a gift for Christmas you have to be on it now that's right it is full time online yeah okay well we're 99% but I wore this three times without do weaving in the end so it's not a necessity pull them into the inside I did another hat I have this fantastic idea for Christmas I like the color so I get this last night same same no.not same pattern this oh why do you have another finish oh well anyways it's downstairs it's another hat three by one rib oh that's nice yep fur that's all it was warm yeah I did a little pee no no this is lionpath my branch so who's that one for this is gonna be for uncle or cousin I've decided now this is top secret I don't think don't think anybody's gonna I'll keep your secret yeah I don't think any my family is gonna hear this I had this idea January 1st we do your Christmas but we don't something we don't exchange gifts right so I'm knitting everybody a hat or a cow elements or something that's nice and so I went out to Michaels and they had this on sale last week so I bought six piles of this to do the guy's hats could you not could you not I found something your stash I found some thing without even giving up I'm just curious I'm curious it's like the yarn that is already in the house its purpose is to stay like so much sad alright these are the friends that's right I mean she has real people friends so she has lots of people friends it's not that she's lonesome and nice friends but these are her yarn buddies that's right maybe that's why I don't want to use them maybe that's why you keep going on buy more you know the honest truth is you can't be more didn't have anything appropriate well that's true and it's true it's easier to go to the there we go honest I look like it could be a man's hat definitely absolutely is that the right length like I hope they feel it's a little bit long for me but they a big I think so threads okay yeah and you can fold and you could fold it up it's cute okay well I'm gonna carry on make mark there you go see too much talking not enough knitting I'm never gonna have finished lock okay we're gonna keep going keep going which hat I said I'll keep writing this one okay anyways so yes so I'm doing so I bought manly colors awesome very nice man color oh you're not giving that one away though are you what's right on your head no I need you missing that's good but this sentence with you yeah so seven it calls for what does this ship the yarn by and calls for a nine millimeter yes nine millimeter super chunky nine millimeter but I'm using a seven in half because I knit loose so I just have to go down yeah yeah that's a good fabric yeah I don't think I'm a Nabil super holy cuz kind of exactly so I kind of like this yep so I'm going on number two cool so I got two hats finished and I did do a little kids hat - awesome I know I'm on a hat hat Barry's all about hats right now craziness okay his hat should be a double movie that's why you thought it wasn't twisted yes yes hi Daisy oh well I

knitters that I should try chug do needles so totally you're nice aren't that you've never tried I've never driven before oh one of Noelle's I think that I'm giving it bear my favorite so I have cast on this is a vanilla flip mitt so really it just looks like a sock start but it will be mitten nice oh that's cool I don't think the needles suffer oh well I've only done like six rows so really are

feel your bank she asks me and grabs at the same time but you sure that's the problem I bet it's just the quilting just makes you want to feel it I know right honey I love it Oh patty doesn't hot sell bags though I did suggest that maybe she might want to stick a few interests wait it's good right I love it instruction for drawstrings is different than mine and there's a few things that she does that I really like and in fact I'm thinking that maybe I need to make a few quilted drawstrings cuz I don't use the iron on interfacing and be and when you quilt the panel I could actually maybe make make it how I would like to make it I know isn't it cute oh my gosh I love it owls and Christmas stalkers Holloway okay let me do this one more time never get to lie no no it's a treasure it is an

so you can just [Laughter] [Music] he's got together so she got it figured out we hope we should go in a few rounds alright do we have any more works in progress uh yes we do did you think I was gonna forget about this sadly I was hoping oh go on do you want you want it you can't just like say that and then stop I'm gonna show you you didn't hear the whole story about it that it's okay what's wrong my story yester I like your stories alright yesterday you are nice okay I'm you're nice alright okay so yesterday people give you for that you know that right I know well you kind of deserved it that's probably true I know Adrienne was being logical and it didn't fit with my frame of thinking and I didn't like it so I told her to stop not in a friendly way in a friendly way cuz anyways so I caught this look at this ball of yarn we're not really sure what to think of it this this yarn is what you get when they can't sell it they give it away at the store well okay hang on a second cuz I just noticed it's a brunette florettes okay so it's not all loopy goopy it's only some is I'm jazzy your piece yes so they're flour loopy goop is you well they're flu these are not flowers well these are supposed to end up being looking like oh that is supposed to make with it a scarf oh it's nice so one of the latest that comes to my Thursday knitting group okay see look at this she had gone up to Listowel yep and see that's what it's supposed to look kind of look like and she bought some urine up there in this Sharon obviously was not a good seller because we were giving it away when she checked they were giving it away they gave her a bag with three bowls of this in it okay so she kept what she gave it to you she gave one to me she gave a ball to Angie so well of course I had to look at it right on the spot and it says look at this weight so you can help me cuz I'm not where does it say I'm not read other side in help okay what size needle 19 millimeter us 35 45 I know and look at this you know it's like are you using my friend I'm using a 12 millimeter a US 17 so that's half the size it's supposed to be yeah really if hissing you ask 35 and that's only a 17 so this is what the yarn is I cannot I may actually have a pair of 35 s at home I have uh well in that closet there's time they weren't mine they were Cathy Neil 30 some reason I don't know what no I really I have 25 millimeter that's what I have there but they're not what US 20 not us my 25 millimeter that's nothing but look at how this it is yeah on a 12 millimeter so I had to try casting this on but I thought it's hilarious right but they give you the yarn at the store for free so it's a sign when you're given free yarn obviously was not a good seller is what I'm thinking so I try I yeah I know I think circular needles would help me but I was not I was like not that we just had straights we didn't have circulars in this big a size in our little cupboard so I saw what I grabbed but see as Adrian pointed out it is kind of making little flowers little flowers can you see that right there it does kind of look like bunch not far but I'm thinking this is too loosey-goosey it's like so I'm gonna go down so I have no idea where they got 19 millimeters I know I'm a loose knitter and I always have to go but this is crazy so I'm not gonna work anymore on this but I think I will knit it and I know Adrienne doesn't think I should because you have so much other yarn that you bought specifically for Christmas presents that something christmas is coming beds make me want to knit this well then you should knit it so I think I want Andrea and should keep her big bazoo shut you said the exact same thing no sir opinion she was like yes I did but then I set a whole bunch of other stuff too I did and I liked what you said the second time thank you so I can write it if you'd like oh we called no it's enough day I called her nice no no no you don't know um anyway so I think I'm going to just knit it just know I'm gonna say it I'm gonna say it cuz we should say nice things about each other sometimes sometimes be like we always liked each other kitty you can only even only act this way and say silly things like this when you really like each other and even totally now you know get away with it yeah exactly so she's knitting this yarn and because I now know that the woman who gave it to you was given it for free she didn't choose it specifically with you in mind and purchase it and gift it to you it was something that she received for free and I thought I don't know what I'm gonna do with it so she gave you a ball of it yes so I feel pretty okay to say this without offending someone that you being given this as a gift because louise is the person that she is come sweeten kind of a generous and always concerned about other people's feeling true true she's knitting it because someone gave it to her and she wants to show her appreciation for it that's why not at all yeah but you should remember that she didn't oh yeah I know so if you don't like it well I'm gonna try but you keep knitting it so I'm thinking maybe you do like it well I like the colors well and that makes little flowers yeah so there you go so it's not all that but anyways yeah I was that so maybe I'll wear it next podcast that would be impressive I dare you I dare you I double dog dare you throne you

Wow yeah but it's it's my color it is my fan color I love it well if you have to create it did you want to come out very cool nice good girl what did you know you you obviously had to ask my questions I have one I'm one acquisition okay so I warned you guys about this before I said several months ago that I bought i pre-ordered the 24 color stripe Advent saw by the cozy knitter yeah arrived so if you are selecting this and don't want to see before you boys are alert spoiler although I now had it in my possession for almost two weeks so everyone who ordered it should have it by now Oh so one divorced right Oh everyday you knit you knit a stripe yeah I like that idea I don't know why I just it's um it's a the she had an advent calendar and then she had this where it was a 24 stripe and I was just like strike the box I like that though but you could do that you could notice stripe December 1st mmm that's stripe a day I'd like I'll see you do that you could do that instead of doing the Christmas ornament well it sounds like when will you stop hugging you know like okay well you could yeah okay well so if I cast on that sock and knit straightfoward in December you'll not bug me okay don't have to remind me about that I promise okay so for like 24 days I can't bother you know Portuguese knitting talk exactly happy time that's beautiful they are it is really it is beautiful it is very friend of 24 colors soft colors to the last I'm super curious to see how witnesses shades of blue that's really nice that is really pink and orange and like like Christmasy orange it like the orange red color that's Christmasy like old-school Christmasy color yeah right yeah I wouldn't really say that this is not really Christmas it's not Christmas see because it has every color of the rainbow in there really aren't green Sun but it's just that'll be fun I like that so that's the only acquisition and it was already paid for so it was like I didn't buy it it's like it didn't count that's pretty much look at that and I didn't well okay you bought some urine I babson well they'd already admitted I bought six pounds of this I wasn't gonna admit to that I wasn't gonna mention that I'm a little overwhelmed by yarn yeah they do a little bit too much well we're sorry no that's okay no trust me you have seen my house yeah you have seen my house yeah my stash equals yours except crustash stash is smaller yeah it's it's more compact that's true I rival you you do with cross-stitching I arrived on oh sorry I rival you with my stitching stache and Mira I think I was married because last Friday night when we were videoing I was trying to scroll up and down comments and I accidentally flipped the camera around [Laughter] yeah but then everybody saw that wall when we first started recording suppose they did I don't know but it just was blocking happen about it that's true yeah I love that wall I love it but anyway I think Adrian should we should flip the camera and show them did you show them my needles last time yeah yes do you not watch the podcast apparently no I was here once already watch it no I think I think you should you should film Mary Mary told me because I said I thought I was kind of feeling like like I had too much - and she told me I should be proud of my stash I like you Mary oh yeah I like I like you so I'm like yes I need to embrace this and I'm proud of it yes so anyways that's that wait a cycle Oh acquisitions huh you would have really hard you worked really hard to question I did hey Ted's anyway both in the work to afford it and the work of acquiring just the right yarn for yours that that's right cuz it was dark I was all a debt it was hard work yeah right look I didn't say hard how else could we have revolving displays of you behind us that match the season that is true we're we are set up for Remembrance Day yes and last time it was think it was Halloween yeah I could I was shocked at the amount of orange yarn you have shut up well I was not at all so you know I had I don't have a lot of red because red is my least favorite color you still have quite a bit you did okay place all the black with green and you'll help Christmas ready yeah hey white in the middle or white is white right I I did this bright stripe in honor of Caroline for our first wheel today was our first real what did you okay good that's tonight like wacky okay Lord okay so I put a nice Roma wait here why for me for you because today was our first real date of snowfall oh thanks I love it Sobers I brought two skeins of yarn well two skeins plus six equals well actually if I can be honest and maybe I bought six in one trip and I might have went back and buy a pink and a gray for how so okay so there might have been tend all right okay let's just start patting so my first yeah I went to right after we podcast at last time remember my the brewer yes yes yes that is those my other evolution I believe that she Louie good that's perfect I know is that is perfect because my Mirai showed this and the pink and the blue and I do I do not know why it wasn't good together no it looked like baby blanket pink and blue this this ball of yarn I fell in love with I've no idea why cuz it is not me at all but I loved it and I bought the blue because we were on the way up to the cottage and we were at La Moline and Hanover and we all we had a comment one of the girls said that that is her local yarn shop it's a great shop it is worth the drive just up to Hanover I had I used to have a friend who can I can I can I say this you might want to believe it out but I'm just giving you a heads up I know cuz I just cuz we drove so I was with Darlene and Rebecca are the two non Christmassy girls who also are allergic to wool how does how do I pick my best friends I don't understand this need a questionnaire can you wear well do you like Christmas um anyways we would drove so we went into Hanover we went to vom Elaine and then we had the bridges it so we had to drive detour around okay which is how I found the yarn shop in the first place back in the summer but it was closed when I had to detour around on the way to the cottage so we were looking for a place to go for lunch and thinking that you know there has to be a good so next year when we come back up we can stop at lo Moline and we can do lunch all in Hanover and we drove by a pub and I kid you not they named a pub the Queen's Bush hilarious it's not hilarious I was making maybe I read the sign wrong because isn't that a little yes don't you think people are gonna make jokes about that well there was that intention there was that Vietnamese restaurant in Woodstock yes what was it called looked at Okayama thought is right after the after Woodstock I saw on someone else's Instagram the same photo and I might some rails noticed it anyways so did you eat there we did not we were going to stop there on the way home but it did that didn't happen so next year we will stop at the Queen's Bush and check to see what is why hey that's a lot Moline see what is what see what's up see this could totally went back into what you do know which this I thought alright we're not she want urine I bought yarn because my brioche my last that's why you do gates watches is because I didn't like the colors together I like them in the skeins and I bought the blue just because it was out of all the choices outlaw milena a there's huge table of flaky lace I thought the balloon would go with it the best I started knitting it and I thought this looks like a baby blanket pink and blue didn't like it but Adrian love the blues waited a ripping it on the spot I did soon as we shut the camera off last time I pulled it out gave her the blue yarn thank you so I went next day I went to knit stitch to teach class and this was hanging it was meant to buy you know and I thought I like this and I think this would match nice with this cool yeah I think it's gonna look fat that's way more yours oh yeah yeah fat me more we got to do a beautiful match isn't it yeah that's really so my cannon laid oh no not listen I didn't get like life in the long grass yeah that's gorgeous yes Han

actually because we talked about this yarn that that did we print out Louise by and seriously seriously it's Americana okay and I'm like I wonder why they go to the Americana and first of all we couldn't read that the writing Americana cannot corn hakuna what okay so okay so where is a breed of bird called the Americana Jimmy yeah it's a chicken so check this is the color of their eggs yes oh and I knew that I knew I don't know what an Americana chicken is I know I know that how do you know what because I used to buy eggs from a farm lady who did it for a hobby and she had like a million different breed Birds she specialized in heritage breed birds and Americana was one of them and they laid the prettiest prettiest so does Jolin have these kind of eggs I don't guess she's good she's got animals joey-lynn but hey man you don't know chicken beautiful yarn and I apologize that we butcher at the pronunciation of the name and didn't know why the heck it was called that now we know and we have yes so chickens a night it looks like a robin's egg really well it's a little lighter than a robin's egg is it okay she's got some other beautiful colors in there it's kind of more the paler blue there okay gorgeous what a good in any way okay I wanted to set the story right there okay and and it was because of a viewer writing in saying it's because of the eggs like oh yeah I knew that well that's good people up there we do smart people tend to watch us I miss you I feel better about themselves that's right it's like Dawn's the code of codependent matter dawn on Friday night video

darn close she said the Christmas Sheeran actually has more magenta flex through it cool but right sure Cheryl and I were kind of fighting over this we're not really fighting over it cuz Cheryl wants

official it is I did a few different versions of it this year my main kit was a cross stitch kit and so I made a large flat bag it came with a pattern and some needle magnets and and I've and stuff and so I I made two versions of the bag the other bag that I made was a wedge tote and I'm offering the wedge tote bag as a full cross stitch kit or because I know that because knitters you might like to just have the option of just having the bag so cute oh my goodness episode I guess and she never got it I told her after the episode was over it but I used my machine to do a little embroidery snowflake along the twill I made every single bag myself every single one hand stitched by me gingham in the inside nice little red gingham so medium wench outfits I use them for shawls and a couple pairs of socks cuz they're a bit too big for one pair of socks but you can easily fit a two or three skein three skeins shawl is a little bit stuffed but I do it anyways a tooth pain shawl is perfect and it comes with emotions in the gingham so nice that's the 2018 ever talked holiday bag up on your Instagram right now XD shop Etsy shop so triple w ever tote [Laughter] otherwise totes in there as well at the moment I've got the black floral print is back as the wedge tote and the I think I have one more of the blue plaid I have a green plaid that's got a little little hint of a yellow stripe and a red stripe and a red zip that one is coming so if you prefer a green plaid over the blue plaid its I'll have a few more in either late next week or the week after and I have enough I have a few more holiday prints that I will be working on closer to the end of the month but this is my main Christmas bag I made a tea sets and they are just have been busier just more than half sold nice yeah
