    I believe, as a respiratory therapist, that you are still contagious for 10 days after testing positive. Best wishes for a speedy recovery and a Merry Christmas

    Well, it looks like you are feeling better! Look at all the crafting you have managed along with work, home, and family. And you make it all look so effortless! You talk about making a couple of holiday ornaments for your sister, at this late date, and you don’t even break into a sweat! Christmas socks, sweaters, ornaments, variegated squares … Are you an Android or two? 😂🤣😂🤣😂
    The crocheted Battenberg lace squares are beautiful! It’s going to make a lovely throw for your cats to cuddle up on. They looked so comfy on the two quilts on the sofa. 🐈🐈🐈‍⬛
    I look forward to the “Sisters Quiz.” Perhaps you should do a couples quiz like the Newlywed Game and include your parents! That could be great fun!
    It’s Christmas Eve, so I will bid you a Happy Christmas. Thank you for all the joy you have brought me this year. It’s quite a massive and lovely gift that doesn’t fit into a box.
    🤩🤩🤩

    Wow! I can’t believe how much I am enjoying your blogmas. I guess I’m a much nosier person than I thought. I love how vulnerable you are. I would totally love to hang with you. I’m a little sad that you seem to be sliding more and more away from cross stitch, but your excitement for knitting and crocheting is making me want to start knitting and crocheting 🤣 keep the blog format coming. Love love love them. Merry Christmas 🎄

    I worked on a Merry Christmas cross stitch for 2 months. Where I bought it they recommended Classic Colorworks floss. Well I finished it and I always wash my cross stitch and embroidery with dawn dish detergent so it washes out the oil from my hands. The floss ran all over the white fabric, I never dreamed floss would run because I always use DMC. Then I read the labels on the Classic Colorworks and it says not color fast. Live and Learn.

  • @sticksstringsandotherthings

    You need some barber cords for you knitting so you can try things on. No transferring the yarn to a different needle when using them. Also, that top looks like it is going to fit you so nicely!

    • @elizabethanncanstitch
      @elizabethanncanstitch  Рік тому +1

      I've tried the cords and find it much slower to pull the stitches on and off the cords rather than just using another needle!

    Hi Liz… glad you’re feeling better . I’m interested in the crochet blanket you want to make but didn’t catch the size hook you are waiting for. I’d also love to know how many squares you get out of each skein so looking forward to your progress. Love your sweater. One of my plans for 2024 is to learn to knit better (I can knit/purl in a straight line like a scarf but that’s it).

    • @elizabethanncanstitch

      I just slide the stitches on to another needle that way they can spread out and allow me to try things on, then when I'm done i just knit them off of the extra needle and back on to my original needle!
