the scarf you made was fabulous; loved the colors! Enjoy visiting w/ya...
I loved this so much! You are amazing. I wanted a Ruby and Roses advent but didn’t get one. Seeing yours tells me I’ll be getting one next year!! 🥰🥰
Hi. For blocking look into a folding bucket, like a mop bucket. The bucket folds fat for storage. Mine is big enough for a sweater vs using a bath tub or sink
I always feel stressed before Xmas. I can't even do my crafts unless I need something for Xmas.
Morning Elizabeth, watching you from the UK and loving it! I am fascinated with your knitting. I cannot knit! I spent many years watching my mother knit, but she always used the wool straight off the ball and never blocked anything (which explains the ever growing cable knit sweater) I love watching you, have a wonderful Christmas x
thank you!
Happy Vlogmas. I watched week 2 before week 1 and while I was watching week 1 I kept thinking about the train that was barreling your way. I hope you are feeling better and can enjoy the lead up to Christmas.
feeling so much better now thank you!!
Choices between “making” & making good choices 🤪
I’m continually amazed at the numerous projects you have completed this year! Add to that your regular FlossTube videos and now the jumbo holiday Vlogmas. You are either sleeping too little or I am sleeping too much. Okay it’s definitely the latter! 😂😂😂
I’m enjoying your advents, the blocking of the boyfriend scarf, peek-a-boo with your kitties ( 🐈⬛ + 🐈 + 🐈 ), your holiday quilts, and every little piece of your day you care to share.
I hope your trip and travel home went smoothly.
🎄🎄🎄
Yes, I love the Vlogmas; especially since it was filmed in South Bend, IN my hometown. Lindy stitches lives in Plymouth. I hope you read this b\c usually you bypass me. MERRY CHRISTMAS!! HAPPY STITCHING TODAY AND EVERYDAY IN 2023!!
Merry Christmas!
That's crazy....I was born in on 31 Hwy in between Berrian Springs and Niles Michigan.........I went to St. Mary's in Southbend, Indiana... ...there's a crochet and knitting night in Southbend ...yarn looks amazing....thanks for sharing...have fun..
oh wow! Yeah that's where my husband was born and his parents and one of his sister's still lives there!
Too Fun! I so enjoyed your week of being a makers, traveling, shopping and sharing. Merry Christmas
Your Christmas tree makes the room look so cozy! Love the Colors in the boyfriends scarf. That is a beautiful pattern. Thanks for displaying each days yarn. Day 4 the pink yarn is my favorite so far. Enjoyed seeing the Christmas Decorations in Indiana!
I loved watching the opening of your advent boxes. I also enjoyed watching the fun you had on your trip and your projects. Merry Christmas to you and your husband and your kitties too! 🎄🎅🐈🐈
Thank you so much!
A great Vlog. I really enjoyed seeing all your projects . Safe travels.
Thanks so much!
Love watching everything you post. You encourage some crafts I haven’t done in years and I thank you! I’m ready with my yarn when you start the scarf tutorial. I’m going to buy material and sew a drawstring project bag. Thank you and I’m looking forward to whatever is next. Easy socks?❤
I love this vlogmas recap of your week. It is very entertaining and you are so good at talking to your camera... lol. You were absolutely stunning in your office Christmas attire. Love the red lip and headband and the fancy earrings. Thanks for keeping me company while I stitched.
A great Vlog!! Thanks for taking us with you guys. How great to wear all your knits out in the wild! That scarf is epic and the Advents are the best I have seen. You are a joy Liz.
Thank you!!
Really like the vlog style video. Hope you had a good visit. Look forward to next video.
This was very enjoyable. The life of Elizabeth. I really liked it.
Thanks for sharing . Enjoyed the knitting project the yarn colors are fabulous.
Thank you! 😊
Wonderful vlogmas Liz, per usual. Definitely going to that yarn shop. Thank you for sharing their info. It gets cold in the winter where I live so mittens and a headband are my one skein go to. Sometimes shorty socks or a cowl. Looking forward to your next episode. Happy holidays.
Hi Liz. Loved your first week vlogmas video. So fun!!
It was great that you wore the sweater you knit as it turned out super pretty. I love the scarf that you knit too. Your vlog was so fun to watch and looking forward to seeing more and more of your advents and crafting. Hope you had a great trip back and are enjoying the holiday season.
Thank you!!
I hope you enjoyed the Midwest as a change of pace for Christmas. Hopefully the cooler temps and "flatter accents" gave you a different, more exotic :) sense of place. I grew up there and we used to go every Christmas. Seeing you visit and fly into Chicago made me feel nostalgic for Christmas there. I knew what the air felt like. Sounds funny, I know. Thanks for sharing.
Great video for the first week of vlogmas. With all your knitting projects you may need to start looking for property and jobs in Alaska. I hope the kitties were safe I have heard mixed reviews about rover and so far have been to leary to leave my golden with anyone I don't know.
Such a fun video. I used to knit before I went back to cross stitching. I would buy a lot of one skeins and would make pretty neck scarves. Here in Maryland we have cold winters so scarves came in hand when wearing sweaters or a blouse that needed something up around the neck and shoulders. Your knitting is beautiful. Hope you enjoyed your trip.
There is a needle case on By Annie's. Looks great!
Hello from the RGV. Loved your vlog! Thanks for sharing.
Great! Love it all!
I loved your vlogmas!!! Glad you got to wear your sweater that you knltted!! It is so cute. Can't wait for your next vlogmas!!!
Thank you!! 😊
Love the scarf Liz! ❤️ Turned out great. Your advents look like fun. Great vlog … hope your return home was good. See you next week 👋
Enjoyed your vlog. So fun to watch and get to tag along with you. Great first week of vlogmas!
Loved it all, thank you x
What a fun vlogmas! How did I not know about that Blueberry Cottage Yarn Shop ? It’s only 31mi from Laporte! So going there soon!
Thanks for sharing ! Very joyful events 🎄❄
Brilliant vlogmas. Thank you so much Liz. Everything you show and talk about is interesting.
Thank you so much!
I loved it!!
I'm so happy your doing vlogmas!! I'm doing it this year also. I love your videos!!
So enjoyed your Vlogmas - I’ve never knitted anything but I’ve been watching you and Crazy Sock Lady’s Vlogmas and I might be falling down the rabbit hole of knitting socks - in love with the variegated yarns. Not sure if I should do a hat or socks first….Did I mention that I’ve never knitted 😆. Anyway your scarf turned out so pretty. Thanks for showing the blocking process- all good info for this newbie. I’ve only crocheted & blocked granny squares. Looking forward to your next Vlogmas. Hope you’re feeling better!
Yay PJ Liz, this was so much fun to watch….you did an awesome job on the first week…we definitely need a home tour, also when you started knitting, what was your first project, what do you feel will be the easiest. Thanks for taking the time to share, cant wait for next week Vlogmas…..
I'm pretty sure my first knitting project was a scarf! I think thats the easiest to start with!
Great vlog, Liz!! I love the colors you use in your knitting. That cardigan you're working on is amazing!! And I love that scarf!
Thanks Olivia!! ❤️
I know you said you’d never done a vlog off the cuff. But you did awesome. I loved watching you knitting. I have never been able to get coordinated enough. I do cross stitch, crocheting, needlepoint and quilting. Love the yarn you have been getting. Maybe I should try knitting again! Hope you enjoyed your vacation.
I love your scarf. It’s beautiful! I love your videos 😊
I was watching/listening while cooking dinner and thought you said Jim Beam advent calendar at first. 😂. I was thinking maybe you wanted a little drink while you worked on projects. The Jenny Beam is much better 😂
hehe I dont know if I could do that much Jim Beam 🤣
You had fun filming? I had fun watching! That was a great way to "Vlogmas" Liz. Hope your holiday season is less stressful! Happy Stitching!
thank you!!
Love seeing you knit...I'm so there to....it is very cold here in TN and I just want to stay inside and knit...take care and be safe😊
Thank you! I know it is cozy season now for sure
This was fun, I really enjoyed it! It was like chatting with a friend.
I'm so glad!
Loving that sock yarn!!!!!!
It was fun watching your Vlogmas.
This was a fun video ... love "day-in-the life" type videos! And, LOVE your boyfriend scarf!
thank you!!
Great podcast. I enjoyed all of it.
Love your gingersnaps er kitties. So sweet. Thanks for sharing.
You are so cool!!! 🩷❤️💚⭐
Where did you get that Joyful decorative thingy? I just love it!! 😊🩷
thats from Target's christmas section a few years ago!
Last year my sister asked me to join her in Florida for a week right before Christmas. I was so happy to do it but it super stressed me out. On top of that there was a huge snowstorm the day of my departure and a huge snowstorm the day of my arrival. How we made it make to Montreal I'll never know. All that to say, I hear you Liz. Travelling during the holiday season and having to work is a high stress situation. Your scarf is fantastic. The colors are so so pretty. What fun to wear a homemade sweater in a yarn shop and what a shop that was. I am slightly envious. 😁 I really enjoyed this first week of vlogmas. Thanks for doing it.
Oh thank you Alison! Yeah travelling during the holidays is always so much stress but it was good to see his family and spend time with them! Happy to be back home and on my couch now though!
Beautiful bed quilt! Your yarns are lovel.
Thank you! 😊
I love my zing needles!
You are one busy gal and I love watching your vlogs!!
Thank you!! 😊
@@elizabethanncanstitch I saw on Instagram that you came down with Covid. I hope you are feeling better 🙏.
Thanks for showing how you block a scarf! I wasn’t sure how that was done and found this very helpful! Where do you get the lavender wash that you use? If you said where, I missed it! It is fun watching you open your advent calendars! Do you know of any advent calendars for cross stitch? I would be interested in looking into that for next year! See you next week!
I love that you love all the crafts! What Juki machine do you have? Thanks for sharing. Your quilt is absolutely beautiful!
Liz, it was so enjoyable to watch Vlogmas and your knitted sweater…l.so very beautiful!!!!!!! 💚
Thanks Tina!!
I have wound some yarn ready for starting a hat. Lol. Have a great time away
Have fun!
Glad you are going more cropped for the cardigan…looks better.
That Shiny Bright skein of yarns is incredible. Your Boyfriend Scarf turned out gorgeous. Looks lovely on you.
Adore your kitty pin cushion!💕
Thank you! Thats a block party chart from Hands on Design!
Your scarf is beautiful, love the yarn. Great vlog.

Liz, another great video. Watched your vlogmas and loved it. I cannot wait for the next one.

So enjoying your Vlogmas! ❤ I leave for a trip in 36 hours. I should be packing but, instead, am watching you. 😂😅
😂 I know that game!
❤️❤️ this video your videos always make me smile and my da y. ❤️
Thank you!!
Sorry you had to work on your trip. Rob took the week off, I guess. I really enjoyed this vlog. Your kitties looked adorable cuddling on your quilt.❤
Love the Boyfriend Scarf! Hope you had a great trip! Knit a bunch of Hermoine’s Everyday socks!
Off topic. Have you watched Fibers and floss Canada floss tube? She’s new. I just watched her first one put up a month ago. She had quite a bit of knitting at the end of this floss tube. She had some amazing yarn to show. Some black light yarn! I’ve never heard of that. This may be old news to you but thought I’d mention it. I don’t even knit! Ha! Ha! Anyway always fun to see what is available in another country.
ooh no I haven't seen that yet, I'll add it to my watch list!
Craft /hobby should not be stressful should it 😍
So are the yarns from the different advents the same type?
PS… what blocking mats do you use for your knitting and crocheting items?
Isn't Plymouth where Lindy Stitches is from? I've enjoyed this Flosstube!
it is! I didn't realize til she messaged me that yesterday! I knew she was in that area but didn't realize how close!
LIZZZZZZ 💗 LOVE WATCHING YOUR VLOGS…… COOL 😎 🎄🎄🎄🙏❤️😊 LOVE 💗 THAT HEAD BAND , RIGHT UP MY ALLY , CANT WAIT TO SEE WHAT YOU MAKE WITH ALLLLLLL THAT BEAUTIFUL YARN 🧶 ….SCARF IS AMAZING , FUN,FUN,FUN …….

Love the variety of your creativity 😍. Where was your cubby from please ? ❤
Thank you! The cubby shelf is from Pottery Barn!
@@elizabethanncanstitch oh no can’t access website from 🇬🇧 as don’t ship to EU 🥲
I'm needing a scarf and yours looks perfect! Can you repeat the name of the scarf again?
It's called the Boyfriend Scarf! I linked it below the video!
😊🧵🪡🤗🤩⛄️🎄❄️
Great vlog! You always have so much going on. If I filmed a vlog you would be bored out of your mind. 😉
ok well thats going to be this week with the Covid 😂 I really set the bar too high with that first week
I was so frightened that your hubby was about to jump in the shower when he first appeared in your sped up bathroom GRWM 👀🙈. Those yarns might work all together in a shawl….
Oh he was 😂😂 I had to stop filming for 10 minutes
Girl! u look great. Please tell me your secret. LOL
