oh Yay!!!! I'm so glad your tablet fits!! So happy you enjoyed my friend! you gifted me Yarn and Hand spun! So I really wanted to make you a surprise thank you 💖💖 Sending you strength for the last few crazy days at work! xox
You wrapped that boxed gift so effortlessly! I always misjudge the size (too much paper or too little) and can never get the tape to come off the roll cleanly or to not stick to itself while I'm trying to apply it to the paper. Sigh. I have 'that's a wrap' envy!
Your Wilfreda is so beautiful!! I need some floof to go with the Lay Family Yarn that I got from the retreat, so I can get this cast on in the New Year! 😍 Always lovely to spend time catching up with you. xx
Oh I am so glad that it looks like, despite all the things you had on your list and accomplished, you still had a bit of time for yourself to relax. Your sweater is beautiful! Peace and joy
I’m enjoying your vlogmas so much. I love seeing the crafty thing you are up to each day and the delicious treats you are making. That Wee Chickadee fibre is stunning. It would make a very beautiful fractal 💗
Enjoying a Sauvignon Blanc after choir rehearsal (for Christmas Eve 🙃) whilst enjoying your Vlogmas. Although I'm not a spinner, I'm enthralled by the colors in the gorgeous braids you showed! Have a good day tomorrow. We're in for several inches of snow, so I have my shovels at the ready. All the best from MN, with our one-year-old kitty, Molly Christmas, on my lap. ☺️
Thank you for showing us your lovely gifts! I absolutely love your fibre from the destash. Those colours are right up my street! I have only been spinning on a wheel for sixth months and have been using a lot of Corriedale fibre and I love it. Your jumper today is stunning by the way x
I loved the double sides gift wrap you were using. I have never seen anything like that in the UK. I have also added Wolfreda sweater to my list to "to be knitted". I think it may be a blue/teal ish colour as I love that colour range. Now to make bread, do some pressie wrapping and chill. Unfortunately, I still have last minute bits to do on Monday. Collect the meat and purchase some bread to feed the gang over Christmas. I am on bread making holiday over the four/five days we have house guests. As always thank you for my lunchtime entertainment. Sx
Ooooh those braids are gorgeous! So, I am not such a technical spinner either but when a gorgeous braid comes my way I sometimes like to keep the colourway the way the dyer made it so will do a chain ply - spin the whole thing as a single and then when you chain ply you get a bit of overlap of the colours but it basically keeps the original colourway. And, it’s a 3 ply. Not sure if you have done that technique but it is not as hard as you might think and your yarn will be beautiful. Also, love the Bishop’s Wife! Thanks for your vloging. Happy holiday!
Hey Nancy, just sipping on some Eye of the Bee and knitting. Talking with you through the screen. Time here right now...this second is 8:20 pm. I might be late, but I'm with you supporting you by telepathy lol. Smart salute to you and hubby! Ms. Jo(but you can call me Jo) lol!
Such a treat seeing your gifts and goodies ❣️ Thanks for sharing 🤗 I don't spin but those bundles of fiber are tempting!! But I will just watch you instead 🤣👀🌲
Nancy, your Wilfreda is beautiful! I have it in my list for a January cast on. I can’t wait, I have had it on my list for over a year, so it’s happening. Merry Christmas!
My husband and I also don't buy for each other for much the same reasons. He is impossible to buy for, and I don't need the stress of figuring out what to give him. He hates shopping and is really bad at it. Occasionally other people act like it is horrible, but it works for us.
Thank you once again for vlogmas! Glad to see you haven’t sneezed lately.😊 Any moment you have to share your tartar sauce recipe (as well as the oven fish brand you prefer) my husband would appreciate it. For years I constantly purchased the wrong sauce until he came up with … Heinz is Horrible, Kraft okay. Yup, gotta hit me over the head sometimes.😂 Just starting out on my spinning adventures with a drop spindle from Fox Mountain. So much fun! 🐑🥂
Nancy, jo here again!!!! Can you tell I'm excited? GUESS WHAT I'm DOING? Go on guess (knitting related). Fisherman's ribbed sweater. Whoppee!!!! Not bad for a beginner knitter. Its so thick and squishy. Color I chose was a white so you can see the texture. Boy is it pretty, thick and challenging. Ill let you know how this old girl does next time I knock on your door. You don't have to open the door now, lol lol lol. See ya. Jo
Hi Nancy, Whatever happened to your unwanted guest (the mouse in your couch)? I've so been enjoying your Vlogmas. Thank you so much and Merry Christmas to you and yours!!
Jo again Nancy. Regarding your wool. I want to turn you on to a spinners. Are knits, and a Knotty mess (Mehgan). They can tell you exactly how to spin the wool. Just trying to share with you because you share with me. Yep, I take your podcast seriously. ( you know why, lol). Jo
Such beautiful gifts. The glass progress keepers attached to the blue pouch will match the yarn you dyed on the Lay Family Yarn retreat.
LOVE the sweater on you and the color is PERFECT!!!
The Bishops wife is one of my favourite movies so glad you love it
Thanks Nancy for the podcast. I don’t have a tv - but I’ve watched the Bishop’s Wife dozens of times on my iPad Pro. Catch you tomorrow. 😊
oh Yay!!!! I'm so glad your tablet fits!! So happy you enjoyed my friend! you gifted me Yarn and Hand spun! So I really wanted to make you a surprise thank you 💖💖 Sending you strength for the last few crazy days at work! xox
Big hugs coming at you! Hope you're feeling better 💕
Correction 2 spinners. Arie knits (Arie). Jo
I was one of the people who recommended The Bishop's Wife to you. It's a lovely movie and, yes, it has Cary Grant in it!! So glad that you enjoyed it.
I really enjoyed it Paulette! Thanks for the suggestion 🤓🎄

Lol! I am very slap happy 😆 and it must have just been good luck
Your Wilfreda is so beautiful!! I need some floof to go with the Lay Family Yarn that I got from the retreat, so I can get this cast on in the New Year! 😍 Always lovely to spend time catching up with you. xx
I need another one in a more solid colour 🤓 Can't wait to see what you pick to go with your retreat yarn 🧶 Thanks for visiting 😊

Thanks Simone 💕 I've never done any Fractal before and think it's definitely in the cards this time

Spinning is so addictive!!!

I can't remember where I got the wrapping paper, but it's so clever 🎁
I hope you had a lovely holiday 🎄

I do like chain plying, but sometimes I don't think ahead to do it 🫣

Love your pretty Wilfreda ... I'm definitely going to make a second one in 2025 ... thinking a mottled grey.
Ooohhh! Lovely and i think I want another one as well
That fibre 🤤
I know!!

We just eyeball mayonnaise, relish and a squirt of lemon juice. We are currently eating the Costco cod nuggets
I’ll have to look up the Wilfrieda, it’s beautiful! And I refuse to make a Ranunculus.
It's a fun knit❣️

Woo hoo Jo 🙌
I just ordered her count Down to Cupid
🎉
I love the little take out boxes. Where do you get those? Thanks for doing Vlogmas!
I find them at my local dollar store
Hi Nancy, Whatever happened to your unwanted guest (the mouse in your couch)? I've so been enjoying your Vlogmas. Thank you so much and Merry Christmas to you and yours!!
The mouse in the couch is gone, but we are still having occasional sightings...a lot less than the Autumn, thank goodness!
