Granny Hexi Flower Blanket Details (same for fingering and DK weight yarn):
I used 2 different patterns for this. I used www.anniedesig... for the hexagon but I didn't change colors and turned my work after each round which keeps it from skewing to the one side. Then for the joining method I used this tutorial: • How to Join Granny Hex...

Your bags are so cute. Where do you find your fabric?

[@MidwestStitches]

I buy from local shops, Joanns, and Spoonflower. Right now I'm trying to use up my fabric stash for bags before I buy anything new but I really love spoonflower since you can pick which type of fabric you want the print on.

If you like Tunisian crochet watch TL yarns. The lady is Toni. She has a beautiful tutorial on a baby gingham blanket. Beautiful blankets I made 3 of these blankets in twin size for my grandchildren in their school colors.If you are looking for metal Tunisian hooks be careful where you order from. I ordered from All express in February. Still waiting for the hooks.

I have watched Toni's videos and she is the queen of tunisian, love her! I have heard about the Ali Express ones, let me know when you get them what you think.

Just found your channel this afternoon! Love the idea for keeping up with Bible Recap!

[@MidwestStitches]

Thank you, yes the planner thing I'm going for Bible Recap has helped me stick with it this year. I'm very visual and need the reminders in that way.

Great episode! I’ve been looking for new knitting podcasts and just subscribed :). I commiserate with you for the bathroom renovations. We’re doing the same for our master bathroom and it’s been such a long process- our garage has been full of tiles and building materials for too long.

[@MidwestStitches]

thank you so much and welcome!! Yeah this bathroom remodel is so stressful but I know hiring someone to do it would really break the bank so DIY it is.

[@Grace-Grace-]

Can you please link me to the person (or at least tell me where to find them and their username) who does the no heel sock I’d like to learn from them or try it! Thanks!

[@MidwestStitches]

Her name is Kate Selene, she is a UK yarn dyer. She has a UA-cam channel as well as an Instagram account. Her patterns are for free on her website: www.kate-Selene.co.uk

You should look at Scheepjes Catona, 100% Mercenized Cotton yarn. Its fingering/sport weight, but affordable 😀

New viewer and subscriber💛

[@MidwestStitches]

Thank you and welcome!!!

I would love a review of the pillow. I deal with carpal tunnel.

[@MidwestStitches]

I might do a video on it once I’ve had more time to use it 👍🏻

I think you do have tennis elbow. A few years ago, I was diagnosed with it when my neck and shoulder were in agony. It does move up there if you aren't careful. I had made 2 - 2 day car trips to get my moms house ready to sell. I was stressed out and knitting for long stretches. The chiropractor I saw recommended that exact brace that you have. When I start to feel anything in my arm or neck, I wear it (I've also learned to sit differently, but that's another tale). Wear the brace. It WILL make a difference. Thanks for a great episode!

[@Grace-Grace-]

So impressive how much you can knit, all the socks are soo pretty! ❤

[@cafebeancounterknits7629]

Hi Danielle! I love that you pulled some fun Freckled Whimsy skeins. I have those two. Now I'm so tempted to cake them up and cast on.

[@MidwestStitches]

By the time I am replying you have already completed both pairs from that yarn LOL
