  • Welcome to Vlogmas 2023! I'm taking you along with me each day through December 25th. This year we are traveling full-time in our van! December is going to keep us in Florida, but there will be loads of interesting places that we see and of course knitting, crochet, Disney, and lots of Toaster! New videos drop every day at 8:00 AM Eastern. This year I'm filming three days ahead to allow time for editing (especially with spotty internet while we travel). Enjoy! #vlogmas #vlogmas2023

    I went there several years ago. You should go at night. Use a flashlight and see the moat. Absolutely incredible. You used to be able to camp there. I am a birder and saw so many life birds. In spring migration they land there as the first land from south america. They are tired and hang out at the water spring. Beautiful

    Oh wow that looked beautiful, we where in Florida in October 2017. After Irma hit the keys. The keys where closed until just 3 days before we had to fly home. So we drove to the keys, but it was horrible to see the devastation. We felt like we where intruding on clean up. When we got to Marathon we turned around and went back to Miami. I will never forget the big piles of palm trees, piles of mattress, piles of fridge, boots in trees and the sand from the beaches moved to the golf of Mexico.
    Oh and I love history and knitting, I would of loved to hear. I now want to visit Fort Jefferson and see the 16 mil bricks.

    We went last year in our camper and took ebikes to get around. It really helps in the peak season. We could not do Dry Tortugas due to folks escaping Cuba, maybe next time. The Butterfly house was my favorite, and there is a fabric and yarn shop inbKey West if you go again. I love the Keys! Thanks for sharing!

    We did something similar to you but instead of a van, we were on a small 36 ft cruising trawler. Our travels were limited to the east coast ICW but we enjoyed our time in Florida.

    I knew it! I started putting 2 and 2 together when you were talking about an adventure and catching an Uber early. We went on that same adventure in Feb of 2020 before the shutdown occurred. We did the camping excursion. Such a fun memorable experience!

    On your travels you need to stop at Fiber Heart in Urbana Iowa. They also own the coffee shop that is connected. Several of us knit there on Wednesday nights. Owner have a farm with alpacas that they make yarn from. wonderful place wonderful people and we would love to have you visit. I am really enjoying following your UA-cam channel of your travels.

    I’m so impressed with how well you guys are holding up doing VanLife for months now. Love all the adventures you are going on. Thanks for taking us along for the ride! Merry Christmas 🎄We went to Key West when we were first engaged and my hubbys parents lived in Boynton Beach so we were close for a visit. The Vibe there is fun and relaxed.

    I hope that we will be able to meet tonight at Four Purls. I want to sing their praises so you know how wonderful they really are. They donated hundreds of skeins of yarn to me for my charity knitting. They were and still are a blessing. I'll be there around 4 so I can do Christmas shopping for ME. The Cooma cowl by Laura Dobratz is on my list. Hopefully I'll see you there.

    QUESTION...(and comment). Hi Natalie - when you make socks w/100% merino wool do you hold the yarn w/nylon or some other stretchy base? Also, my husband and I have a similar van we got one year ago and we love it. Preference for sure (maybe there's something underneath in the way) but you don't have to detach the underside of the table - that you use to frame the base of the bed. It just stays on the bottom side. Hope you're enjoying your travels - it's really fun to watch 🤗

    • @KnittyNatty
      @KnittyNatty  10 місяців тому +1

      This is my first time using 100% merino for socks, but I didn't hold anything else with it!
      I'll have to try that with the tables! I don't have it tightened all the way because we've always taken them off, so maybe that will make everything simpler. Thank you!

    It’s so interesting that you can’t post videos from a national park. It’s … public property! Or is it because if you posted it, it be part of your business? (Like can a random person post a video on their personal account?)
