Even though life is moving on with Covid we have political factions wanting to install a dictatorial government, gun violence seems beyond control climate change is more and more a daily issue , inflation …I think I am in denial about depression

I am hoping to help inspire people to get into crafting to help with there mental health and also to help us talk more openly about how we are all feeling. The fact that you have said that you might be in denial means you are aware and hopefully you can find help or someone to talk to.

    Really enjoyed your look back. I have been binge watching your channel as I work diligently on a test knit for Tif Neilan, so I haven't been commenting along the way. I love your home, especially your kitchen - amazing layout, I love the stairs and how you've fit so much function under them. I love your cooking videos and how much you do from scratch in your small kitchen. Great to see someone on UA-cam showing cooking in a small kitchen, ours is small too. And, I am so impressed with your outdoor space. Do you get mosquitoes in your area? I love our outdoor space, but not for most of the summer due to mosquitoes (and humidity). Came here via hive knits.

      Thank you ☺️ I love cooking and I think when cooking in a small space it’s all about using it smart and knowing your timing on how kings things take. I also did a cooking show for the Herbert art gallery and museum called ‘Historic cooking’ if you want to check out that too. Really hoping to make some more craft videos soon. Thank you again for watching

    Hi, I'm a beginner knitter - Great review, I just discovered this wool, as an alternative to Wool and the Gang. How many skeins of Drops Snow would I need to knit a standard twin blanket (66x90 inches)? My estimate comes to 25, let me know if this amount is in the right ball park. Thank you! P.S. gorgeous mustard sweater in the background with cool sleeve pattern 😊Cheers from Canada!

But I didn’t yet. And today I watch this video and I think it’s exactly what I needed. I am ready to get help, and I will talk to my doctor.

    Hi there, I've literally just cast on this pattern and it's ridiculously big. As a beginner knitter this is super disconcerting as I don't know how to scale down. I'm about to knit a medium but it's huge. It's no way a medium, and if the pattern is this loose isn't it a bad idea to use a stretchy cast on? I've tried a number of Wool and the gang patterns and they all knit enormous. I thought it was my knitting but now I'm wondering if it's just a ploy to sell more wool. Feeling a bit had, and I haven't even started. 😕😞

    • @knitslips
      @knitslips 2 роки тому

      I know what you mean. The pattern dose seam quite long but from what I can remember it’s because it has lots so sizes and has quite a nice shape around the shoulders. But it is a big pattern for a beginning. Habe you done a test 4” patch to check if your stitches would match? If your stitches are a hit looser and don’t want to mess with the stitch count, try going down a size on your needles that will help make the stitches a little tighter. Let me know how you get on, and tag or message me on Instagram @knitslips

    Hi Tom, this topic has really resounded with me. I have knitted on and off over the past 20 or so years, preferring to sew mostly. But a few years ago I started knitting more and I have really found it has helped my mental health. And then this past year I have had to navigate through the grief of losing my best friend - my mum - and knitting has been such a positive thing for me. I love that you are talking about this x
