    omg, yes to your talk about healing our inner child wounds in our own motherhood experiences. I agree so hard. The whole suck it up and smile thing really hit home, lol. Also, I can relate to always needing to have nap/sleep schedules dictate everything. It's bittersweet that my kids no longer nap (3 and 6), but it's really pretty freeing to lose that time restraint and have them be old enough to be more flexible with bedtimes sometimes. Loving your Salty Days so far!

    Hi Morgan, I love that you talk about anxiety and how you deal with it in your videos. My daughter is 9 now so we’re no longer planning our life around nap times but as a mother I still struggle with the inability maintain control over my days as much as I would like. I find that I cling to my pockets of time to knit and read as a means of self care in the midst of chaos. Cozy hobbies truly are a lifesaver! Happy belated birthday!!

      thank you so much for validating this feeling! I totally resonate. you’re so right, I think the nap schedule is what I cling to as something I can regulate & control to a degree to make sure the way goes as smoothly as possible. it’s completely in the way things go when we leave the house and not being in control of if it will be fun, relaxing, or just stressful for all of us. thank you for sharing your experience and making me feel so seen! 💗

    we moved to a beach town a year ago when my youngest was 1 1/2, she hated the sand and wouldn't be put down. it definitely changed our plans to spend weekends on the beach and felt disappointing. this year we tried again and it was a little bit better but she has a limit. we're taking it a little at a time and seeing how it goes. she loves the water and the idea of the beach but in practice is definitely different. you're doing great giving him space!

      thank you so much for validating our experience! 🥲💗 whats soo crazy is we had the opposite, when he was about 18 months back in the states he enjoyed the beach so much. we lived near Virginia Beach and he’d run along the shore with us as long as the water didn’t touch him. now he’s almost 2.5 and has watched movies like Nemo and is scared of sharks so he just wants to go home 😭 hopefully we can talk to him between now and the next beach trip and help him feel less afraid 💛

    yo dude happy late birthday!!! the air bnb and ocean views look so nice omggg- stunning. as a chronically anxious person myself i have a lot of the same struggles with vacations, but sometimes the anxiety can only be overcome by just letting go.
    i just finished my salty days, and wore it for a friends birthday at a ski resort- super happy with how it turned out. :))

      thank you!! i totally agree. it takes reaffirming & reassuring myself lots, and make sure i have all my little accommodations to feel safe & have my resources, but so worth it to try to let go and just go with the flow!!

    You are such a wonderful mum and should be very proud of how you're teaching Arthur to feel his big feelings. I'm glad you all enjoyed your little getaway and sometimes a change in scenery is just as good. I'm knitting on a new beanie, I'm working the North Shore beanie pattern by Knit Ewe Up in some purple stash yarn 🥰.

    Great job, mom and dad, for helping your little guy have a great vacation. Happy Birthday! Your knits look great. Have you thought about frogging your cumulus and making a smaller size? I love your chocolate colored squishy yarn for your new cabled cardigan, and your bookclub cardigan looks great! I'm planning to cast on the Elara cardigan by emknits myself with some vacation yarn I picked up in August.❤🧶

      @morganunraveled  2 місяці тому

      thank you so much!! frogging & re-knitting is definitely an option, if I did I think I’d do the o-neck version. I think I’ll keep it the way it is while it’s spring here and see if it gets lots of wear then maybe reknit it over next fall/winter if I don’t enjoy wearing it the way it is.

    Hello lovely Morgan, I’m working on my salty days as I’m watching your vlog 🌺. My kids are 13 and 19 but I used to plan around sleep schedules. Wasn’t easy with 2nd baby as first was at school, but just tried to control what was controllable. We’ve just returned from 2 weeks in Tasmania and oh boy it’s so beautiful 🧶🍄

    Do you like your copper needles? I’ve been eyeing them but unsure if they are worth the price.

    • @morganunraveled
      @morganunraveled  2 місяці тому +1

      I really love them! it depends on the knitter, your preferences, and what type of knitting you do. I love that the smallest in this set starts from 3.25mm because most sets I looked at started at 3.5mm. I really love them for anything stockinette or any project where I want to have some glide! but they are not very sharp so knitting lace would be tricky.
