    I am so glad your channel popped up on my feed. I loved hearing about your joy moments and your message of the importance of voting. Not to mention all the projects! I am a crocheter so I am voting for the cute crochet blanket for the yarn project. The bag is so cute. Having so many hobbies is a struggle, isn’t it? I’m a quilter, cross stitcher, crocheter and a wannabe knitter. You influenced me to sign up for the jingle ball! Praying for your family as you provide loving care for your son. ❤

    Hi Sally, Your post was just what I needed this morning! Focussing on joy can insulate us from fear and give us space to breathe. I supported Pete in the last election and hope to see him run again soon. His calm, reasoned, unflappable approach to difficult issues is one I hope to be able to emulate. I vote for the.shawl because I love the colors!

      Thank you for your kind words - I'm so glad I could help! I'm going to sleep for a million minutes this weekend and try to finish my badger! I hope you get some time for joy, too. Hang in there (I’m hanging in there)!

    Hi Sally! I really, really love your videos and I hope more people check you out:) I have many crafts on the go because they bring me joy. I honestly don't know what I would do without my crafts. Your work is lovely. I say work on the crochet but will be happy no matter what road you choose. And, by the way, I think you are an awesome mom. 💙💙

    I enjoy your videos so much! Chatty and unhurried, inspirational words about JOY and politically encouraging without focusing on a particular party. Thank you for the great tip when using fuzzy floss with one leg of the stitch DMC. Your sweater is gorgeous. I have had very good success using gussets in sewing. I'm anxious to see how that goes in knitting. Your knitting is beautiful. I'm struggling with my current crochet project - and amigurumi octopus, mostly because the yarn splits and it's cotton and so hard to get the hook into the stitches - so I can sympathize. I love the color of your bag - and I'm sure it will bring you joy every time you use it. Looking forward to next time! Hugs

    Hi Sally! You popped up on my feed! Your pep and vigor is really what I needed today. I, too, enjoy Sarah W. Thanks for the tip of the wheel. I saw that mentioned on another channel but didn't know the app. I have about 10 WIPS and SO MUCH in my stash and so many new things by watching Floss Tube. Hopefully, the wheel will help. My oldest WIP is from 2003! A Paula Vaughan. Looking forward to getting caught up with your other videos.

    Love your videos. Coffee and eggs is so you, very retro like your Pyrex collection. I vote for the crochet blanket and please do a tutorial on how to join the squares. I love your collections of vintage things and would love that tour. Have a good few weeks!

      @SallyStitchesAnd  2 місяці тому

      Thanks Robin! I am in the mood to make a few squares on the blanket and I’ll try to film it. The pattern is free and really well written, so if you’re interested, check out Kirsten’s blog (www.haakmaarraak.nl). Appreciate you taking the time to bring me a little joy. Hope some is coming your way this weekend!

    Hi Sally, you popped up on my feed this morning & I’m glad that I checked you out. Not easy having a child with a disability/spectrum. Not everyone is kind. I have had to homeschool because the school was not a healthy environment for my boy. Like you, finding joy in the small things is what helps me like cross stitch, knitting & crochet among other things. Loved the message.

      Thank you so much for your kind words, and for sharing your story. You are a strong person for creating the best environment for your child that you can. This week has made me a little nervous but I believe in my kid’s support plan and I believe in myself (and my husband, who is wonderful). I hope you get some time this weekend for yourself. We got this! Thanks again!

      @@freemak1 I’ll block it a final time when my sweater is done, too (and maybe film it in better detail). Blocking already made a huge difference in the length and fixed those curly edges. It took forever to dry, though.
