sorry about the music over the audio around minute 6, I had a little bit of an editing fail with the youtube music editor but it should be fixed in a few hours. I was just showing off some packages that had just been dropped off in the middle of me cleaning
Beautiful Christmas Garden. I am a lifelong knitter and am thrilled you are picking it up again. I also sew, quilt, crossstitch and enjoy it all. Enjoy!
Your vlog was fun! Enjoyed all the talk, cleaning, swimwear, stitches, knitting, etc. Happy Birthday to your husband. 🎊 You are a pink girl, like me. 💝🦋🎀
The Christmas Garden is just beautiful! My oldest son just turned 40 and I started cross stitching before he was born. I stopped for a lonnnnng time until I realized it wasn’t a dying craft. I’m so happy I found you and other floss tubers. I did go and watch your stitching video! I can’t see linen that well but I do cross stitch in hand on Aida and it is faster . I am a lefty so I stitch from left to right. and I stitch in hand mostly on smalls. Thank you Liz for your cheerfulness and sharing all of your many talents ❤
Hola Elizabeth ,nunca es tarde para empezar proyectos en tu caso tejer y lo haces de maravilla dale rienda suelta a tu creatividad .Bendiciones Eli 👏👏👏👏🥰
Beautiful yarn choice for the sweater pattern. Love your framed piece! I have this kitted in my stash to start Dec of this year. Can't wait. Amazon has the yarn swift for about $25 now. I like that it is portable and stores so easily. I have to get a new winder as mine fell apart. 😢 Thank you for taking us along on your Saturday. Happy crafting!❤
Thank you Elizabeth for all the info in this floss tube - you are SO CREATIVE & you must be so busy. I’m so happy you mentioned your how to stitch video - I need to learn how to stitch in hand on something other than Aida - thanks again.
Your Christmas Garden is beautiful. 😍 will be waiting to see your sweater. Move to the other room but leave your wall of shelves of fabric in this room. You deserve 2 sewing/craft rooms. 😊
Yeah. I haven't cross stitched in awhile, so I started back on doing that. Plus I sew and quilt alot alot....And I also knit and crochet. The cross stitch came back because I started watching floss tube videos and got hooked on watching them. Love your video on project bags for cross stitch. Going to make alot of them. Thanks Elizabeth.
Christmas Garden is beautiful! And Eliza's French Birds is so pretty - I have yet to finish mine. I have stitched several smalls from the new Susan Ache book and have really enjoyed those - right now patriotic stitching is my jam. Hope you have a great week. Happy stitching and knitting and all the crafty things!
That ball winder is really nifty. I am not a knitter, I used to have to hold my hands about shoulder width apart and my grama would part her yarn on my out stretched hands and hand wind, LOL. Memories... Christmas Garden is so beautiful in it's frame.
Love your video - so we tracked you all day Sat. Loved you fully finished item, so pretty. Love that you're knitting again. I use to knit also, tho mostly afgans, baby blankets or baby christening outfits. The family is still passing them around. I mostly cross stitch or make cards now depending on my mood. Hope you enjoy your sweatermaking.
Elizabeth, it is so fun to see you knitting! I’ve been a knitter for decades and then in January, 2021 X st came back into my life and evidently, it does not like to share my time and attention! I live in the Sacramento valley in Northern California ( 100 + in the Summer) and I’ve enjoyed knitting summer tees for many years and I use linen & cotton yarn (usually a blend) and then my tee is cool and comfortable to wear. 100% linen is really great in the heat- tho usually not as fun to knit with. Have fun knitting and stitching!
Fantastic cross stitch piece….frame is perfect!!Well done. My local yarn shop calls the yarn “skeins” and you wind them into “cakes”. I too got my knit bug back….the bug must be going around. Love the style of your swift…mine is much bulkier. Take care.
Please share the fanny belt bum sling pack whenever you make it! I also can't believe these have made a comeback. Fun video Liz! You're so entertaining. Happy crafting!
So great you are wanting to get back into knitting. I knit everyday. You will love the Rocket Tee and the yarn you picked is a beautiful color. Your cross stitching you framed looks fantastic
Christmas Garden looks beautiful. I have mine kitted, but not started. I got the Ruby Slippers like you suggested. Now I need to get Bees Knees.😁 Can’t wait to see the sweater progress. You are so talented!!
My design wall is in front of the book case I use the store my fabric. I have it clipped on a curtain rail and I can put it up and down as I wish AND it works a treat!!! Highly recommend, hubby just added some curtain hooks and away i went. Love it so much and so easy to do, I can actually take it down and fold it away at any time as well but no, Ive had it up for 3 years now. I have those big clamps so i fold the design wall up one end and slowly go across to the left and there go its out of the way so I see all my fabric that hubby says my word you need to start using all of this, I just turn and say, oh but I am and dont tell him about the purchase that came via mail whilst he was at work and I was working from home LOL
Hi Liz, omgosh your Christmas Garden is soooo absolutely beautiful, your framing is professional in every way, shape and form ❤❤, I really like the vlog style of your video, seems like we are with you for longer, happy happy stitching to you 🧵🪡
Congratulations on the Christmas Garden finish - it's beautiful!! So great to have met you at Stitch North and look forward to it again next year! And thanks for the adorable needle minder! Speaking of Stitch North, all of the knitters! Makes me want to grab my knitting needles again too! Enjoy stitching up your sweater and I can't wait to see your progress! Oh, and good luck with the bathing suit hunt. It's the worst, isn't it??
I have yarn for a rock it tee! I really want to start it too, but I have so many WIP's from so many hobbies. I really need to finish something before I start something new. I love what you did with your wedding tier tray. I just started an anniversary stitch last week on my 4th anniversary. I switched it to my wedding colors and am loving it so far. I love the vlog style videos, so fun and different.
I really enjoyed checking in with you this video. I also want to stitch that Madam Chantilly celebrate cross stitch chart. I'm a new stitcher so I really appreciate all the inspiration you give.
You should definitely move rooms, create a design wall, it would be brilliant. I would love a dedicated sewing room, I have to share a 6ft square box room with the office stuff and computer and the spare bed! Under which I store all my seasonal finished cross stitch, so I shouldn’t complain!
I would LOVE to sal with you on that beautiful Jeannette Douglas sampler - it is SO pretty! but my wip pile is out of control 😂 I may still, so tempted. Thanks for sharing all your beautiful crafting 💚 xx
I’m absolutely going to join you with your birthday start because I too am a June birthday and mine is a special one too! I’m turning 50 on the 20th. I ordered the pattern today so hopefully it gets here in time! 🤞
Love the Christmas Garden stitch, it’s so pretty. My birthday is also on June 11, but I am way past forty (in years only). I will be 75 and I have never done a birthday start because I am for the most part a monogamous stitcher. But I am thinking about starting Cardinal Points as a birthday project! That means I better get busy on my current stitch.
I would like some footage of you knitting, please? I really like looking at the different ways people knit. your gauge swatch stockinette is just -lovely- so even and beautiful. i usually knit (and crochet) too loosely so i'm forever going down a bunch of needle sizes. (oh and a smoke tree is a thing. this yarn color is very evocative of that tree)
Happy birthday! I’m a June girl too, the 10th. I’m much older than you are but my 40th was the one that really bugged me too 🤪 even more than 50! Love the piece you chose to start for your B day. Happy Stitching!
Love all your finishes and starts. I also like to knit and have a sweater pattern for my husband and me. Like the tier tray patterns. Walk in Peace. Please note for my bathing suits I like them with skirts.
What a fun and interesting video! Thank you for answering this non-knitters questions about the cool yarn gadgets you used. Love the swift and ball winder! Your Christmas sampler is framed so beautifully.
Christmas Garden is beautiful. Great frame! I actually lol at a lot of what you talk about and how you say it! Always love your videos. That pink sweater, summer sweater, is a gorgeous color when knit up. Have fun with it.
Fun video! I enjoyed all the variety. Christmas Garden is gorgeous and the frame is perfect. It’s going to be fun seeing the progress on your sweater. I’m not a knitter except for cotton dishcloths so I admire people that can knit sweaters and have them turn out right.
Your Christmas Garden turned out so beautiful, Liz, and the frame is so perfect. I love your wedding anniversary piece and I love how you changed the color of that cute little kitty cat. I'm looking forward to seeing the progress on your new sweater, the color is gorgeous and will look so good on you. Thank you for another great video.
Sallie Tomato has a great fanny pack pattern. It's the Ferris. Can't wait to see your sweater/tee. I haven't knitted it forever. But I was not good enough to knit a sweater. I made wash cloths & scarves.
Christmas Garden is beautiful, I love your frame. I wish we could all clean as fast as you did in your sped up version. My crafting room needs a good cleaning, but I'd rather sew or stitch then clean. I cant wait to see your sweater, love the color
FYI. Make your own bathing suit. In the old days, I used to take girls favorite bathing suit and replicate it - then made multiples. Lots of styles out there these days and all the support parts available. Once you make one that fits - you are all set!
Really enjoyed your video as always! Your framed Christmas Garden turned out Beautiful!! Can’t wait to see your knitted top, the color is fab. Definitely want to join in on your Birthday SAL, however you do not look 40 at all!!! You barely look 30 Lucky you😄 Hope you have a great week! Happy Stitching, knitting and sewing!!
I always enjoy seeing your WIPs and other craft projects. Have you thought about sewing a bathing suit for yourself? I would guess that a one piece would be fairly easy to sew. When I was pregnant (eons ago), I sewed a maternity bathing suit for myself. I was surprised by how easy it was to complete.
I tried to sew myself a bathing suit in college once... it did not go well, I suppose I could always try it again though... not sure its on my agenda right now though
Love your Christmas Garden. It’s gorgeous!! Have fun knitting. I crochet because my knitting is always off kilter. 🤷🏻♀️Can’t wait to see your progress.
OMG you are a ball of creativity! You quilt, sew, cross stitch, & knit! I’ve tried knitting, but knit very uneven & tight. Your Christmas Garden is beautiful. I have to get the Madame Chantilly chart as I have 2 white kitties! TFS.
Omg, I hate buying swimsuits! I usually wind up with a tankini because then the length isn’t as much of an issue..I do like Lands End - pricy, but great suits and their long is just the right length. And your face when you said Rob’s friend sent him a knife 🤣🤣🤣 - have a great weekend!
According to my 2 teenage daughters, you have to call it a belt bag. It is ABSOLUTELY not a Fanny pack or purse. Buying one for myself upped my cool factor 🤣 And, I do love it-hands free and it holds my keys, chapstick and phone. Can’t wait to see your knitting and your Christmas Garden finish is GORGEOUS!
I really love the vlog style, it suits you!! Christmas Garden is gorgeous!! The midnight piece looks fun to stitch! I’m doing a couple wordplay Crazy Annie pieces right now, fun to do amidst the big pieces. Can’t wait to see the sweater❤. The Shanny pack (shoulder -fanny) is what I call that bag. Plus my daughter carries one and her name is Shannon!
Love that amazing finish Liz. Christmas Garden is breathtaking. And as a lifelong knitter, I love to see you return to knitting. Isn't great to have so many creative outlets??? Loved the vlog/video.
I hate bathing suit shopping! Good luck! Love your new starts and plans for a birthday SAL. I don’t knit but I love the color you selected for your sweater. It will be perfect come fall (does Texas have fall?) LOL
I love your vlog style video! Your knitting looks great. Can’t wait to watch the progress! Cleaning the craft room is the worst, right? Such a drag but you just have to do it sometimes. I got a good chuckle over your fanny pack talk. Some friends of mine were just talking about them last week. Everything old is new again 😂. I look forward to seeing what you come up with. Your Christmas Garden looks fantastic all framed. You do such beautiful work.
I love your Christmas Garden! I have a small start on mine. Seeing yours sure makes me want to pull mine out again. Can’t believe you are about to turn 40! My oldest turns 40 in December. 😢 Barbara
When in Co Springs, try to get over to Ruth’s Stitchery…. Tiny bit of Cross Stitch stuff but; but really great fabrics! If you go up to Denver, there’s some great Quilt and CS up there!
Ooh good to know thanks! We won’t be spending any time in Denver this trip and I did look up how far Colorado cross stitchers shop is but that’ll have to be another trip!
I wish I could start another project with only a "tidy" lol my upstairs sewing room has exploded to downstairs. The living room and dining room are a mess and I don't want to know where to start haha I think this week is finally going to be my time to be productive. I'm having a fit to make Something, anything, just hopefully not more mess. 😂
Your Christmas Garden piece is so lovely. Great choice on the frame, and good for you, making Michael's fix their framing error! Have fun working on your sweater...in the summer...in Texas!! 😳😂😱
All the enamel needle minders I’ve bought or made have terrible magnetic fields on the painted side. So, my question is how strong is it? Is that the difference between soft and hard enamel? My husband will custom make me ones on his 3D printer to match a project. Lol I love your ffo and still really like the vlog style.
Absolutely stunning frame. It really sets it off the coloring. Great choice. I’m new to your UA-cam. I have so enjoyed it. It’s like sitting with a girlfriend around the table. Keep up the good work.😊
sorry about the music over the audio around minute 6, I had a little bit of an editing fail with the youtube music editor but it should be fixed in a few hours. I was just showing off some packages that had just been dropped off in the middle of me cleaning
I used to buy long torso suits from Lands End for my tall daughter. I love the Christmas piece.
Good luck with your knitting project. I always wanted to make that sweater
My granddaughter would go crazy over that yarn 🧶 spinning thing!! Your picture is beautiful!!!
Wow, Christmas Garden is absolutely gorgeous! I love it! Also, you're making me want to get back into knitting! Too many crafts, so little time!
Beautiful Christmas Garden. I am a lifelong knitter and am thrilled you are picking it up again. I also sew, quilt, crossstitch and enjoy it all. Enjoy!
Yes! I absolutely love knitting I just don’t get the opportunity to wear my items much here!
Your vlog was fun! Enjoyed all the talk, cleaning, swimwear, stitches, knitting, etc. Happy Birthday to your husband. 🎊
You are a pink girl, like me. 💝🦋🎀

Liking the format of this video, more relaxed and less formal! Perfect frame for Christmas Garden 🪡💕
Your "Christmas Garden" is beautiful, and the framing you did makes it even lovelier ❤❤😊!

oh yay! You are so welcome!
We are like opposites! All you want to do is knit after years of not knitting, and all i want to do is cross stitch after years of not!❤😂
Omg…yes, that is me too! I’ve knit for eons and started back to X st in January 2021 and I’m OBSESSED with it! I still knit…but not nearly as much!
Christmas Garden is beautiful! And Eliza's French Birds is so pretty - I have yet to finish mine. I have stitched several smalls from the new Susan Ache book and have really enjoyed those - right now patriotic stitching is my jam. Hope you have a great week. Happy stitching and knitting and all the crafty things!
A fun video Liz! Your Christmas Garden and frame are phenomenal! Save your swatch! I love your teaching segments! XO
Love the frame! Your stitching progress is great and I love seeing your wips and finishes - such beautiful stitching! Enjoy knitting!!!
That ball winder is really nifty. I am not a knitter, I used to have to hold my hands about shoulder width apart and my grama would part her yarn on my out stretched hands and hand wind, LOL. Memories... Christmas Garden is so beautiful in it's frame.

I love the Charlotte's __?__fabric you used on Love Boat Sampler. It's beautiful and your floss conversion is perfect. I really need pink fabric now!

I love your finish of Christmas Garden!!
Your Christmas garden has the perfect frame. Great job

This is beautiful, your Christmas Garden. Wow! You did good girl.
Knitting is so much fun. Thanks for your video.
Christmas Garden is beautiful, live the frame.
Have fun knitting your Summer top, the color is so pretty.
Marilyn
Thank you!
Your Madeline yarn is a gorgeous color. 🎉 on getting gauge. I’m still stitching on Christmas Garden. Yours is lovely and perfect frame.
Love your framed piece! Thanks for sharing
I really enjoyed checking in with you this video. I also want to stitch that Madam Chantilly celebrate cross stitch chart. I'm a new stitcher so I really appreciate all the inspiration you give.
Thank you!!
You should definitely move rooms, create a design wall, it would be brilliant. I would love a dedicated sewing room, I have to share a 6ft square box room with the office stuff and computer and the spare bed! Under which I store all my seasonal finished cross stitch, so I shouldn’t complain!
Nicely done ✅ clean ended and framed before new start.
I would LOVE to sal with you on that beautiful Jeannette Douglas sampler - it is SO pretty! but my wip pile is out of control 😂 I may still, so tempted. Thanks for sharing all your beautiful crafting 💚 xx
Oh mines out of control too but that’s never stopped me 😂😂
I’m absolutely going to join you with your birthday start because I too am a June birthday and mine is a special one too! I’m turning 50 on the 20th. I ordered the pattern today so hopefully it gets here in time! 🤞

Liz, you look amazing. Your working out is paying off.

I'm looking forward to seeing the progress on your new sweater, the color is gorgeous and will look so good on you. Thank you for another great video.
Sallie Tomato has a great fanny pack pattern. It's the Ferris. Can't wait to see your sweater/tee. I haven't knitted it forever. But I was not good enough to knit a sweater. I made wash cloths & scarves.
Oooh good to know I’m going to look that up!

You and my youngest are birthday buddies - I will start this with you for your 40th (and his 9th) - because birthdays are the best!!!!!
ahh fun!! Happy birthday to him!

Oh thats so cute!
Just enjoy your videos. So cheerful!

When in Co Springs, try to get over to Ruth’s Stitchery…. Tiny bit of Cross Stitch stuff but; but really great fabrics! If you go up to Denver, there’s some great Quilt and CS up there!
Ooh good to know thanks! We won’t be spending any time in Denver this trip and I did look up how far Colorado cross stitchers shop is but that’ll have to be another trip!
This was a fun watch. So much variety in your crafting!
I’m totally obsessed with your Christmas Garden (not certain if the pattern is still available-I’ll look into it) beautiful work and framing.
I wish I could start another project with only a "tidy" lol my upstairs sewing room has exploded to downstairs. The living room and dining room are a mess and I don't want to know where to start haha I think this week is finally going to be my time to be productive. I'm having a fit to make Something, anything, just hopefully not more mess. 😂
Super impressed with the knitting. I can sort of knit but haven’t in a long time. It takes me so long to knit anything.
Love your Christmas Garden finish. So beautiful. : )
Your Christmas Garden piece is so lovely. Great choice on the frame, and good for you, making Michael's fix their framing error! Have fun working on your sweater...in the summer...in Texas!! 😳😂😱
Love the finish and frame on your Christmas Garden! Lands End does have a selection of long torso one piece swimsuits.
ooh I need to check out their swimsuits!
All the enamel needle minders I’ve bought or made have terrible magnetic fields on the painted side. So, my question is how strong is it? Is that the difference between soft and hard enamel? My husband will custom make me ones on his 3D printer to match a project. Lol I love your ffo and still really like the vlog style.
Absolutely stunning frame. It really sets it off the coloring. Great choice. I’m new to your UA-cam. I have so enjoyed it. It’s like sitting with a girlfriend around the table. Keep up the good work.😊
Thank you so much! Welcome!
