10,000 Knitted Hats Flip-Through/Review
Welcome back to the channel! If you're new here, I'm Kim, and I'm all about yarn, knitting, and crochet adventures. Today, we're in my kitchen because I'm excited to share a review of an amazing new book with you. Alabama heat is no joke, so bear with me while we record in the kitchen. I am sorry about the lighting, my kitchen lighting is not the best as the sun sets.
This book, "10,000 Knitted Hats," caught my eye with its spiral binding (my favorite for laying flat!) and endless creativity. It's structured into three sections: brims, center parts, and crown decreases, each with flippable pages allowing for total customization. From simple ribbing to intricate lace, this book offers options galore... and Bobbles!! lol

Ooooo! I like the multidirectional middle section. I have been looking for a hat with a similar design for at least a year. 🤔 Now I have to think about this
This is exactly up my Alley! ❤ thanks for sharing!
@@noidlehands2019 You are welcome, thanks for watching!
Cool book! I love the mix-and-match idea. Another book for my Christmas wish list! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching!!!
Interesting book. I think I would be worried about the wear and tear also
@@MadMimisCrochetandFarming lol 😆 I am pretty clumsy but that’s just the way I roll.
Glad to see buddy had a good time.
He did! I saw he had a great time at your place too!!
I absolutely love the idea of mix and match patterns. I've seen it with amigurumi but never with hats. I never swatch for hats either. I rarely if ever swatch for anything, but then again I don't normally make wearables either.
I love hats almost as much as shawls lol 😆
Another awesome book review. This will go on my wish list as well. ❤️🧶
Aww thank you so much and it is a great book!!
Looks like a great book! I love knitted hats! Just prefer the quicker make time with crochet! 😊😊😊. I use a swatch as a gauge when swapping yarns from what the pattern recommends. I will make a swatch and measure how many stitches per inch and then, knowing the size I want.l, just so the math. (Yes I am a STEM gal but way too old to have been called that! Ha!) This Bama heat is great for staying indoors, watching Olympics, and doing crafts! Praying for those affected by storm system Debby. Have a great day, y’all!
The heat has been crazy!! I am the opposite, I find I am much faster at knitting. Crocheting hats just does not go as fast for me, especially is I use a worsted weight yarn. 🧶 I hope you are well and enjoying these last days of summer.
@@yarning4asmile Crochet is easier in my arthritis, oddly enough! Knitting can aggravate it. Play piano and drums for over 65 years and your joints will talk back atcha! 😀
I always wanted to learn to play the piano!

@n2creativity-ccladee640 time is my problem. A lady at our church teaches but I just don’t have the time. 😞

I liked seeing Buddy at camp and all the other adventures he had with you.
Aww thank you. It was a lot of fun taking photos and videos of him. 🐝❤️🐝
I like the clear plastic in the shelf, are they basket?
let me check what you are talking about.. and I will get right back to you on that. :)
yes those are the clear 12x12x12 cubes from Target. I used them to hold yarns all by one dyer in the yarn shelves but I also use the to stack like this as a bookcase and to sorry scraps. That video was made when my yarn was in the bedroom.... but last year I built a studio - a whole 12 feet by 28 feet room just for my yarn!! Have you seen those videos? ua-cam.com/play/PLZmX-xQjUyRcniJ6hu7IeUvto0voBZ79X.html&si=uoHKKWD54aCI_ECc
Thank you for sharing this book I can't wait for the mushroom one
Me too!! I Love Mushrooms and all their cuteness... little mushroom creatures are a win for me anytime.
Spiderwebs are great inspiration for crochet.
Absolutely! The intricate patterns in spiderwebs can spark some truly unique crochet designs.
How adorable!!! And a cup of coffee too!
right! I just thought it was perfect too.
I L☕VE Buddy's cup of coffee💛🖤💛
Me too!! I think @Treasuresmadefromyarn is who made the cup.

I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! The tiny mug definitely adds a bit of fun to the Buddy adventures! 😊
It looks like Buddy was a great helper.
He really was!! Thanks for checking out his adventures with me.
Beddy is absolutely adorable!
He really is!! Thank you so much for coming on this adventure with us. … if you want to be eligible for the giveaway please edit your comment to say buddy. You had a mistype and want you to be eligible. 💕
How on earth am I supposed to top that? I don't even know how to film and edit, and talk over and all that stuff! Oh well, I yam what I yam an what you will see is what you will get. You did a marvelous job with Budd during his visit, I hope he enjoys his time with me as well.
Ms C we are all so different and that is what makes UA-cam so wonderful. Each video by the different creators reflect their style. I grew up in a home where my father a self taught electrician built computer programs for block producing companies in the 80-90’s. I worked for a company called circuit city for most of my adult life dealing with computers. Editing to me is like a hobby and I find joy in that… where you are a natural at live streams. I am not good at those, I fumble over my words, I get side tracked, I mispronounce words due to the stress of it all. Your video will be great, I just know it! I also know Buddy is going to love his time with you too. 💕
@@yarning4asmile Thank yo Kim, your words carry much weight with me...Love, Ms C😘
Love ya Ms C!
The last scene made me want to cry 😆
Aww I am glad you like it. I was hoping it was seen. 💕

I believe the stickers were fair game for anyone who the box was passed along to, so you're good!
Ok good. 😬 There is a card for you in the return envelope with some stickers for you too.

Hi Kim - how fun for Buddy .. I also enjoyed hosting Buddy . He loved my chickens and when I took him to church to the Sunday School class I teach - he loved it. My kids in class loved him too . Good idea to add water to the cat food as cats seem to not drink enough . Take care
They don’t! Cats are supposed to have 70% of their water from their food. This is one way I can ensure this happens. 💕
@@yarning4asmile I always a little water to my dogs food too WHY not ! lol Course I do the same for Miss KittyCat . I change my chickens water several times a day . I mean it never ends lol
lol I know but our pets are worth it!
Kim, I truly enjoyed this video..I know Buddy will miss you and all the things you showed Buddy that were 1st for him..The Buddy necklace is a nice touch. Bless you so much. I'm sure the Stitch markers are lovely. I have most of the few I have on a holder to display mine. Buddy, is so lucky to get to go to Ms C's Cottage. I know Buddy will miss you very much & he will take the lessons he has learned from you to his next adventures. Bless You. ♥️🙏🏻🥰🤟🏻
Buddy travels in style, that is for sure. I love stitch markers too and have mine in a wooden box on a bookcase. Buddy has had some amazing adventures, I know he had a blast visiting the different place and know he will love it at Ms C’s too
Such a great video! Loved seeing Buddy at camp! I completely agree with you about getting caught up in the small things (which are usually insignificant) and fail to see the big picture! Your video shows all the beauty that Alabama’s natural terrain offers! Thanks to you and the cats for the video and thank you to B U D D Y for his lesson about looking at the big picture! Happy August and bon voyage to Buddy!
Thank you so much for your kind words and support as always. The kids loved having Buddy, it was a great camp for sure!
❤I truly enjoyed going on adventures with you and buddy 👍🏾thank you so much for letting me tag along😊
Thanks for coming along on our adventures… he is missed already.
Hi Kim 🤗 you & Buddy 🐝 had some wonderful adventures! Thank you sooo much for sharing! 🥰🧶🤩
Thank you so much for watching.

I love seeing a new book by an author I've seen before. I've never seen either book in person but I love the monsters book! ( probably because it reminds me of Monsters Inc)
Monsters Inc will always be one of my top movies. I just love pattern books where the designers give you a pattern but in a way where the maker can really personalize it even more.
I like that cotton striped yarn! Maybe part of a gnome or a toy?
I was thinking the same friend!
I like the big eye better.I think it makes it look cuter
I will be making more this fall and using some bigger eyes along with some monsters. Have you seen that new book of hers? I did a flip-through here: ua-cam.com/video/1GkVUJAV_SE/v-deo.htmlsi=UEH1r8uWfbBhdwUl
