      It's hard to believe that there are people out there who don't like me 😅 There's actually one person (I don't actually know if it's the same person every time or not) who dislikes every video within the first 10-15 minutes of me uploading it. It's probably one of my ex girlfriends 😂

    Oh my goodness that Blue Jays hat gave me flashbacks to my 90s Canadian childhood 😂 I used to get pretty similar heckling for needlecraft, which culminated in a man at a bar asking me to knit him a pair of underwear "because I'm not wearing any." Oooooh noooo. I imagine you got it worse though. Thanks for continuing to put a dude face on our craft!

    Melissa - if you don't want to carry threads across the back for those stitches across from each other you could run the thread under the other stitches on the back. Up, across, then back down to where you need to do the additional stitches.

    If you buy the Leo and Roxy Floss you should ask if you can get a whole batch. Because it’s hand dyed and it’s obviously prone to slight color variations. Ask Caroline at Evertotes what she recommends.

    I thoroughly enjoyed the epic movie quotes! I got most of them. Lol. I'm currently on the wait list for the April weekend for Stitch North. I could've gotten into the May weekend but the April one is on my bday so figured it was meant. Fingers crossed I get to go. 🤞 Glad you found the Oatmeal Aida. That's was always and continues to be my favorite fabric even though I've found all of the new stuff through the Flosstube community. 😆

    Loved the video as usual, especially watching past Darcy as you talked about the piece you gave your Mom. I also loved seeing the things you had stitched in the past. Do you remember what any of the patterns were or who they were by? I especially liked the snowman and cat one. Take a look at the Long Dog Samplers for all that Dmc 798 or maybe another Modern Folk Embroidery? Nice to see Melissa again. Tell her that Chris did say he was doing Spooky Summer Stitch again.

I've never seen that Richard III and thanks for helping us raise our IQ's temporarily. Have you see the Richard III with Ian McKellen? I enjoy how they reenacted the line "A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse!" It's based in 1940's, I believe , and Richard III gets stuck in a jeep . So, that was clever. 🤪
