What an exhausting and fulfilling month July was! It was packed full of crafting, sewing, making, dyeing, knitting and any other activity I can't quite remember. I have to say, after two very successful markets, I was on the brink of burnout but have almost fully recovered. ✨️ If you like sewing, knitting, and all things crafting, follow along on my social media 💛 silkandsticks?ig...

I was feeling less than motivated today, so I set myself a challenge. There's nothing like trying to knit while watching a clock count down...ha It did actually kind of work though! even if i did pepper in lots of chores/home activities in between hour challenges. It's something I'm going to try doing more frequently! ✨️ If you like sewing, knitting, and all things crafting, follow along on my ...

    I am getting ready to dabble in natural dying. Can it be made then stored in a mason jar for a period of time?

    • @silkandsticks
      @silkandsticks 5 днів тому

      Hi! It absolutely can. I try to keep my jars in a cool, shaded spot to preserve them for as long as possible, but there will be some natural degradation over time. You are likely to grow some molds in there too. Thanks for watching!

    When I started knitting I used bamboo but soon discovered that they start splintering I knitted mostly socks and shawls on tiny needles with skinny yarn and it became an issue with the bamboo they also tend to break easier as well. I then moved to wood needles loved them knitted with them for years. One day I purchased some stainless steel dbl pts for socks and loved them so much I have been slowly changing all my needles to metal. chery1ann

    • @silkandsticks

      Bamboo can be very frustrating when it breaks (I've broken a few circulars now - I blame my tension!). I'll definitely be converting metal circulars, but I'm not ready to move on from my wooden straight needles yet 😅. Thanks for watching! 💛

    Hi, with your older machine, a quick service may help. I use an old make-up brush to remove lint, and then I oil the recommended spots within the machine. Sometimes, with the bunching on the fabric, the bobbin thread hasn't caught correctly, or then bobbin is in the wrong way. Really enjoy your videos

    So delightful! I actually found your video just as I am completing my first jogak curtain. I agree it took A LOT longer than I had assumed it would. I stayed with white and tan fabrics, but now want to try one with bits of more exciting fabrics like yours. Aloha to you, your dog, and your tractor. 😊

    😂 Sorry to laugh but your dangerous winter weather looks like a normal day of a British summer, but your warmer😂 crazy world. I feel your pain and also the customers that missed out on your gorgeous makes. Was it your home made dyes that you stamped the chooks on socks..... Great idea. Love your vids, well chill me out, even when your stressing out to get things done. When is your next market? ✌️❤

    • @silkandsticks
      @silkandsticks 3 місяці тому

      Oh trust me, we got the winds later in the day, and it would have been a very challenging market! Chasing my stock flying away would have made for a terrible Sunday 😂😂 Next market will be in August and is thankfully indoors. Thank you so much for watching 💛💛

    That 't IJ sweater is a long way from home!! Can confirm that their craft beers are excellent. Perhaps the froggy hat could do with moving the eyes down lower and wider set to make it look more cute and less creepy? Since perhaps your head is not at child height and when you look down his eyes just...appear... (I do love it though, creepy and all)

    • @silkandsticks
      @silkandsticks 3 місяці тому

      I sampled them back in 2018! Not a bad drop at all 🍻 I've added a little mouth to the frog beanie. I think it 5 10% less creepy 😂 thanks for watching!
