My favourite part of this video is the Fahrenheit to Celsius you added in there. So thoughtful. I don't think I've ever seen anyone do it so seamlessly while telling their story.
This is legit my favourite video of yours and I'll probably come back to this one again just to enjoy your company. The tangents felt like having a great chat with a friend and like I got to know you more! I really appreciated it, I know you can't but I felt seen 😂🤷♀❤❤
The music you put in at 1:08:40 roughly just triggered some wonderful nostalgia I didn't know was there. Thank you for bringing me back to Brazil for a minute 💗
@@BreathingYarn there’s so many good ones for you to find! Not sure how many of them you can use in your videos but wishing you the best of luck on your journey and hopefully you’ve had a chance to listen to some Saulo Fernandes too as he’s definitely one of my faves
Loooooove the rambles, and before your insecurity thing I was thinking how gorgeous you are, so there. One of your funnest vids. All over the place, head peeping through the opening, the cat hogging the camera. Thanks for deciding to post this. Thanks!
Pippin, you sweet sweet baby. I had to say goodbye to my black cat- my first ever pet as an adult- this spring. Missy, my beloved, had no thoughts in her sweet head, but she was so loving. And I feel so healed seeing both Merry and Pippin. Thank you for always letting them be as they are in your videos! Also, love working on my projects with your videos on. Remotivates me every time. Working on my first ever cardigan, and it's a vintage pattern. Because I just love to push the envelope, I guess??? But yes, it's good to make mistakes and just talk through it. Then get back to business.
Enjoyed your new video. Your finishing wip videos always inspire me. The cumulus blouse looks so good. I love the color! Your repaired socks turned out great. You can be proud of yourself that you fixed the mistake to a point where the white heel part even looks intentional. 😅 I also appreciated the Celsius conversion. ☺️ I do definitely have days where I feel prettier than on other days - taking a shower often helps to cleanse my mind. Have a lovely week! ~Kat
This came at such a wonderful moment! I'm working on an all-over cable knit cardigan at the minute and I'm just.. so ready to be done. While watching this video I got 22% of the second sleeve done!!! Thanks for providing immaculate vibes to craft to! ☺️
On the feeling great about yourself/feeling like a sack of potatoes - to me it's actually so calming to know that it's all in my head. I'll put on a swim suit and go to the beach and know that even though I feel hideous, I look just the same as the week before when I felt great. And I still feel so bad, but it's not stopping me from doing things, and to me that's the main thing. Life happens no matter what you look like and I don't want to miss out just because I feel too hideous for the world to look at. So inspired to knit something up with bouclé held with something else. I really want a zipper vest that I can wear instead of a jacked, but bouclé only intimidated me so this sounds like the perfect plan!
I always appreciate when people share their dumb mistakes. It makes me feel less dumb when I myself make them. To know I'm not the only one ❤️ And I really enjoy watching your videos, it doesn't even matter that much what you are talking about. It's just cozy and fun 😊
I finished my arctic light sweater in exactly one month because I was seriously obsessed and did nothing else but knit. It really is such a captivating pattern since every row is so different. It was the perfect project for my specific flavor of ADHD!
I loved watching you this morning while I was waking up and knitting. You made me laugh many times and I needed that, so thank you! (Your kidnapping scenario was the best 😂) Your projects are all gorgeous and very inspiring. Thanks for sharing!
Truly blessed by an hour-long WIPs video! I also have been watching Hannah Alonzo a lot this past week while either working or working on my own WIPs, you have excellent taste. I am primarily a crocheter who is just learning to knit, but you inspire me to want to knit so many socks!
the funny thing about when people say they feel insecure about their appearance on a particular day, is that to me they/you look literally exactly the same to any other day. Like to other people there is exactly no difference. Which is crazy!! Like it's crazy how we can look so different to ourselves but exactly the same to other people. And I guess that has helped me not worry about it as much
I love Hannah! I've been watching her videos for several years. She was pretty exclusively anti-MLM for a long time but the recent broadening of her content has been great. I'd never thought to compare her to Tiffany Ferg but it makes sense with the recent changes to Hannah's channel.
I just love your videos! I love watching you work through problems. Thank you for being transparent and sharing frustrations as well as successes. I can't wait to see the bouclé finished as well as the all-over cable knit sweater. Until next time...❤🧶 p.s. I love your new haircut!
Same! There are so many things I end up not making because I can’t quite figure out how a real person who isn’t in high school would actually wear them!
Great video, Isabella! Sock mending tip - whenever I finish knitting a pair of socks, I wind a small ball of the yarn and put it in a “sock mending jar / basket / etc. for future use. That way, I know where I can probably find some of the same yarn to use when I need to mend holes! I do this because I generally try to use larger amounts of leftover yarn in other scrappy projects! Just a suggestion! Loved how your sweater for your mom turned out, loving how your boucle sweater is turning out, and great job on mending your husband’s socks! Those are the two darning techniques that I’m most familiar with, also. Take care!
I love your rambly knitting vlogs, this video is the comfort I need rn 🥹💓 these finish-it vlogs are sooo motivating & inspiring. I also love watching Hannah Alonzo & tiffany ferg and it made me so happy to hear you mention them. I think the cumulus blouse vneck is just canonically too deep, I dealt with that too and so did both my friends I buddy knit it with. one of my friends knit it with a smaller needle but it made her fabric cinch. next time I knit it I’ll probably make the o-neck!
@@BreathingYarn ahhh thank you!! I loved the color of yours/your moms too and I really loved all the ways you styled it in the FO reveal! every time I see your leg tattoo I’m like oooh she’s serving haha! 🥵🔥
@@BreathingYarn just got to your part about insecurities and I want you to know I always think you look so lovely & seem to really know your color seasons that complement your tones so well! but I also admire that you are so real & authentic, you don’t seem to polish yourself up before filming, you’re just yourself and that is so inspiring to me. I think it can be so hard to show yourself online and worry how others perceive us, but I think we are often harder on ourselves than others are - but the people that are hard on us are notttt our people!
I had to split this video into 2 nighttime routines 😂 I love the fit of the sweater for your mom! My goal for the coming year is to knit a pair of socks. I have crocheted some slipper socks, but I definitely want some thinner socks
Really enjoyed the long video! Lots of crochet done! 😅 I have no idea what you said while pippin was on camera, she is so adorable! Your new haircut looks super cute on you. And i'm so sorry about your socks! It happens to the best of us😅. It's great that you could resolve anyway, though. ♥️
yay a bonus vid, and a long finishing wips one at that! Awesome shots of pipipn, could not take anything serious and was laughing my butt off. also really appriciate 47:17, 10/10 great vid that will def be rewatched :)
Fabulous video!! I was moved to measure my own hand, and from that line to the tip on my tallest finger, it's 7.5 inches! I have freakishly long fingers, and that was the reason I got stuck playing the unmanageable bassoon at high school instead of the flute I wanted. 😂😂😂 We also cheaped out on the wedding rings! We figured it was the sentiment that matters, not the cost of the rings! Xx
That is too funny! I wanted to play the tuba but was told my hands were way too small (and I was too small lol) so I ended up on the French horn. The bassoon is crazy hard, that’s so awesome!
Yay I love long videos. The undercut looks great on you :D Tip for people with sensory issues with socks. Asymmetrical toetips make a huge difference. So you only decrease on the little toe side and keep the big toe side straight. Im buying not knitted socks with this toetip and I am loving them so much :D
Such a good video! I love just hearing you chat and think about your projects (even the rambly bits)! Long videos are always appreciated. :) So many things I want to respond to, but comments can only be so long! I will say though, on the sock repair: I've done knitted patches without any reinforcement, and those have worked our really well! I used The Woolery's written tutorial and that requires no sewing (except ends), so much more approachable for me. Also, this is a suggestion for future socks -- I'm not sure what type of yarn you used, but I find that, especially now, my sock yarn needs to have some kind of nylon content to wear well. All of my socks without nylon have worn (repeated) holes, when I didn't know about fiber content. All of my socks with nylon have stood up for several years (and my husband really puts them through their paces)! This could probably also be avoided with a more durable fiber (such as BFL instead of merino), but I haven't done significant testing on that. /end rambly response! 😂
You should try a silicone ring! They stretch enough to accommodate more swelling than a metal band and are usually $20ish online. I wear one while at the gym or for any event (hike, the pool, etc) where either my hands may swell or I'd be worried about damaging/dirtying my actual ring.
Loved this video! I keep wanting to cast on new and exciting things, but when I saw you posted this video I had to contain myself and pick up a sock wip and just… calm down 😮💨
i love the haircut!! so cute!!! also the smart heart socks are such a good pattern, i figured out how to mod it for my feet and it’s easily my favorite pair of socks i’ve knit
YAY i love your finishing your wips videos!!!!!! thanks for sharing the playlist, i've been in a music slump and i'm gonna try it out today :) that sweater for your mom is sooooo beautiful!
I had to jump on at the 9:02 mark because I have those exact same scissors!! They are literally right beside me as I work on my very first Chicken Scratch embroidery project. Also Hannah Alonzo is a brilliant deep dive kinda gal. Edit: 49:23 My wedding ring cost $225, and I had to buy it in a bigger size when I was preggers. I'm still waiting to wear my original one. But I totally agree. You don't need anything expensive to get married. My wedding dress cost less than my ring at $184.86.
So many things to say... first, girl you are beautiful! I'm actually jealous of your confidence! Second, I also love Hanna and Tiffany, would recommend Cara Nicole, Gabi Belle, Mina Lee and zoe unlimited.
I love your creativity and the way you freestyle your design choices so much, but the real reason I’m commenting is that I’m obsessed with the Pippin camera angle ❤😂❤. My tuxedo kitty is sitting on my lap as I knit and watch your video!
❤ my fancy stork scissors I got a rainbow color and a gold color and they were 89 cents LOL❤ but I totally agree with you if you don't have the money like I don't have the money to get yarn so here I am buying scissors but they were cute and they were 89 cents so I grabbed them
My engagement ring is bespoke and designed by me, but because I went with moissanite and ordered from a Chinese custom jewelry company, it only cost $500. Similar rings for lab grown diamonds of the same size and clarity and with similar details (6-prong tulip, cathedral, half eternity pave) cost $5k+. I've had it for 6 years now and I still get unsolicited compliments on it. But the 6 rounded claw prongs snag things a lot, so I tend to only wear it when I'm going out. For my wedding band my husband and I got matching his and hers black tungsten brushed bands. I had done a raw sapphire ring for a while as my daily wear, but I find that I just want something smooth and unobtrusive because I just don't want to have to remember to be non-chaotic with my hands.
It’s a game changer!!!! I also like keeping the smaller needle on the left needle when I work in the round. It helps the needles slide more so they don’t get tight/stuck on the left needle.
I think u look really nice. All the time. It’s your you coming through. Have u ever met a person who may not have been facially appealing at first but when u get to know them they then look lovely because their actual person shows through. Just saying. 😅
I have combined the Drops Alpaca bouclé with their fingering alpaca and quite quickly got used to knitting with bouclé yarn. I will definitely do it again. Now I need socks, but I hate knitting two of the same. Maybe I should look at the bright side: I too have really small feet.
So re:darning/ mending socks: I just learned that you can remove an afterthought heel and toe and re-knit them when they wear through!!! I'm so excited about this news. Idk, maybe you can just reknit on a new heel, depending on how you made them the first time?
I’m older so I love visible mending and unless I’m misjudging the dates on the videos I have seen, it also seems to be what y’all call “on trend”, but speaking from experience, weaving and duplicate stitch mend equally well. There’s no structural reason to use one or the other that I have noticed, do what you like. As long as you secure and protect the fibers, it’s fine.
It’s really nice to hear from someone with experience. I definitely liked the weaving method more from a process perspective and I love the way it looks.
This is such a great video. So many gems, most of all your cats are so incredible! That view of Pippin is so sweet. Your socks turned out so cute. And I'm excited to see how both of the sweaters turn out. Your tip about using a smaller needle on the purl side is genius. I've been on a journey to get my flat stockinette even for a while now. I've currently settled on just giving each purl stitch an extra little tug while carrying the yarn to the next stitch. It works, but isn't very smooth. I'll give your strategy a try. I'm curious, do you always go down a full mm? Thank you so much for the wonderful content!
I usually play it by ear when I go down needle sizes. Sometimes I go down 2mm in needle size, sometimes just 1/2mm smaller. I find that my purl tension is a little different with each yarn type. Going down 1mm is usually my jumping off point though. Good luck!
UGH Home Depot! as soon as you said you were going to Home Depot I thought, some guy there is going to be really condescending. They always are to me. Always like: "You're doing that *all by yourself*?? What about your boyfriend?" 😑 Anyway love your videos, thanks for sharing your projects!
I needed to measure immediately, because I also have tiny hands. Mine are 6,5 inches. Have you ever tried the Sockwonder for knitting socks? A lot of people don't like those tiny needles but I love them and I can finish socks so much faster using these.
I haven’t tried that brand but I have used some shortie needles for sock making and I like them. I should try those though because mine only has 1.5” tips and I’d like using one with a larger tip
@BreathingYarn we need some form of cat cam for these videos 😂 a second angle intentional obscured by the bestest black kittens on the internet (it’s Merri and Pippin). ❤❤❤ it isn’t a video without the girls having their 15 seconds of fame each each ❤
Hello, this was amazing episode, I can’t knit I needed to watch, you are so good in chatting, how to learn it:)) ? I even measured my hand😂, I’m really petite and now I’m thinking I have huge hands comparing my size 😂 Also did you know that you can size up the same ring. :) We all have bad and good days:) it’s normal:)
What did you think of The French Dispatch? 😄 It was the first Wes Anderson movie I ever watched, I absolutely adored it and his work has been a really intense hyperfixation for me ever since hahah, so I'm always interested to hear what others think of it! 🥰 Anyway, neurodivergent rambling aside, I loooove these videos! I've been working on a baby cardigan for my co-worker while watching 💖
omg i was just about to close the video in the end and then a brazilian song started?? it got me so suprised and i never thought i would get to ask a foreigner for a song recommendation from my own country lol but please drop the name!! it's the one in the pink mended sock shot just for reference
If you like gory horror satire you may like the movie Bad Sheep (the New Zealand film) has the best dialog and a moral of the dangers of genetic engineering. It’s offal.

An hour video??? We have been BLESSED
I thought the same thing!!
I literally saw it and said YESSS!!
My favourite part of this video is the Fahrenheit to Celsius you added in there. So thoughtful. I don't think I've ever seen anyone do it so seamlessly while telling their story.
Aweee, thanks! 😊 im glad it’s helpful to someone
This is legit my favourite video of yours and I'll probably come back to this one again just to enjoy your company. The tangents felt like having a great chat with a friend and like I got to know you more! I really appreciated it, I know you can't but I felt seen 😂🤷♀❤❤
Aweee thank you 🥰
I watch several knitting content creators (plus a few who crochet, even though I don't... yet), and this channel is my favorite!
The music you put in at 1:08:40 roughly just triggered some wonderful nostalgia I didn't know was there. Thank you for bringing me back to Brazil for a minute 💗
That’s really beautiful 🥹 I have been exploring music around Central and South America with so much joy. The song is Deixa de Preguica by Luis Mura
@@BreathingYarn there’s so many good ones for you to find! Not sure how many of them you can use in your videos but wishing you the best of luck on your journey and hopefully you’ve had a chance to listen to some Saulo Fernandes too as he’s definitely one of my faves
"I'm trying to challenge myself to have conversations with strangers..In like a safe way." took me out 😂 I find myself doing the same thing honestly.
😆 😆 😆 gotta be careful to not talk to any potential kidnappers!
Isabella, you will pry my fancy decorative scissors from my cold, dead hands! 😂
😂 I’ll think about it
Watching this while wearing my maybe forever sweater knit with drops air, felt the sister vibes hihi
Aweee! I love my Maybe Forever
Loooooove the rambles, and before your insecurity thing I was thinking how gorgeous you are, so there.
One of your funnest vids. All over the place, head peeping through the opening, the cat hogging the camera. Thanks for deciding to post this.
Thanks!
Editing me had a heck of a time trying to make the rambling make any amount of sense 😂
This video popped up as I’m trying to finish a year long WIP! An hour long video is the motivation I need 😝
Hannah Alonso is phenomenal and her Monday uploads make my whole week!
only 10 seconds in but i have to say that i'm very happy about an hour+ long video! your videos are my favourite to knit along with.
Pippin, you sweet sweet baby. I had to say goodbye to my black cat- my first ever pet as an adult- this spring. Missy, my beloved, had no thoughts in her sweet head, but she was so loving.

I’m so sorry to hear about your cat! Something about a cat with no brain cells is extra precious. They’re so sweet and so themselves all the time.
Enjoyed your new video. Your finishing wip videos always inspire me. The cumulus blouse looks so good. I love the color! Your repaired socks turned out great. You can be proud of yourself that you fixed the mistake to a point where the white heel part even looks intentional. 😅
I also appreciated the Celsius conversion. ☺️ I do definitely have days where I feel prettier than on other days - taking a shower often helps to cleanse my mind. Have a lovely week! ~Kat
I hope you have a lovely week too 😊
This came at such a wonderful moment! I'm working on an all-over cable knit cardigan at the minute and I'm just.. so ready to be done.
While watching this video I got 22% of the second sleeve done!!! Thanks for providing immaculate vibes to craft to! ☺️
Thank you for making me feel seen. I love m cabled knits but I also feel like they drag on so much longer 😩 Congrats on the sleeve progress!!!!
Ooooof the mesh top with the collared shirt!!!! I looooove that look!
Thanks! It’s a callback to high school me. I was a total dork and wore collared shirts every single day. I’m finding my way back to them

That’s awesome! Anything fun?
Cozy 1hr vid?! LETS GO🎉🎉🎉
Lessss goooo!
Waking up on a Sunday morning, gathering my knitting project and opening youtube to see over an hour video i can knit along to!!?!?!!
Amazing, truly 😌
Happy Sunday! 😊
1. Pippin is a star 2. I have baby hands too! 6” hand club! 3. Thanks for the 1 hour video. Yay!!!
I always appreciate when people share their dumb mistakes. It makes me feel less dumb when I myself make them. To know I'm not the only one ❤️
And I really enjoy watching your videos, it doesn't even matter that much what you are talking about. It's just cozy and fun 😊
I was so embarrassed but I’m glad I left it in 😆

i’m having a good time watching your video while recovering from a hangover and drinking tea.
Tea and UA-cam is my most reliable hang over cure (and ramen)
Now I want to make a giant fluffy sweater.
Pippin continuing to try to make the channel about her, lol. Clearly very sweet, and very demanding
I think everyone needs a giant fluffy sweater
I had this playing whilst I sewed and my ears pricked up when I heard “Yvette said you’re a healthy healthy girl” 😅😂
😂 lol!
I love how awesomely human you are!
Thank you 😂
I love the way you styled the crochet mesh top! I see everyone making one and could not think of any practical way for that to fit into my wardrobe.
Same! There are so many things I end up not making because I can’t quite figure out how a real person who isn’t in high school would actually wear them!
You made such wonderful progress on your projects! 👏🏾🧶
I cant wait to crochet to this.

I absolutely love your hair cut and those sparkley boots!😄
I need to go out more so the boots can get some fresh air instead of collecting dust in my closet
About not spending on the wedding rings... Totaly agree!
This was such a fun watch!! Thanks for taking us with you on those ups and downs :) I hope you can rest after finishing such a long video
I hope you feel better soon!!!!
Fabulous video!! I was moved to measure my own hand, and from that line to the tip on my tallest finger, it's 7.5 inches!

Yay I love long videos.
The undercut looks great on you :D
Tip for people with sensory issues with socks. Asymmetrical toetips make a huge difference. So you only decrease on the little toe side and keep the big toe side straight.

also the smart heart socks are such a good pattern, i figured out how to mod it for my feet and it’s easily my favorite pair of socks i’ve knit
YAY i love your finishing your wips videos!!!!!! thanks for sharing the playlist, i've been in a music slump and i'm gonna try it out today :) that sweater for your mom is sooooo beautiful!
Yay! Thank you!
I had to jump on at the 9:02 mark because I have those exact same scissors!! They are literally right beside me as I work on my very first Chicken Scratch embroidery project.
Also Hannah Alonzo is a brilliant deep dive kinda gal.
Edit: 49:23 My wedding ring cost $225, and I had to buy it in a bigger size when I was preggers. I'm still waiting to wear my original one. But I totally agree. You don't need anything expensive to get married. My wedding dress cost less than my ring at $184.86.
Love Hannah Alonso, lol!
I adore Hannah Alonzo :)
Im hooked to your channel🎉
🪝
So many things to say... first, girl you are beautiful! I'm actually jealous of your confidence! Second, I also love Hanna and Tiffany, would recommend Cara Nicole, Gabi Belle, Mina Lee and zoe unlimited.
Are you just listing my favorite UA-cam channels!!! I just finished binging all of Gabis videos!
"let's normalise not spending thousands on wedding rings" fr my fiancé and I are looking at just some stainless steel bands for like £30 each
Yesssss 🙌🏻
I love your creativity and the way you freestyle your design choices so much, but the real reason I’m commenting is that I’m obsessed with the Pippin camera angle ❤😂❤. My tuxedo kitty is sitting on my lap as I knit and watch your video!
Hi tuxedo kitty!!!
@@BreathingYarn Nox says hi!
Aw man, I love Hot Fuzz. I quote it often but only my husband gets it.
Idk why but "Couldn't see him could I? I'm not made of eyes!” gets me every time 😂
❤ my fancy stork scissors I got a rainbow color and a gold color and they were 89 cents LOL❤ but I totally agree with you if you don't have the money like I don't have the money to get yarn so here I am buying scissors but they were cute and they were 89 cents so I grabbed them
33:43 not me breaking out my measuring tape to see how big my hand is compared to yours 😂❤
And? 😆
@@BreathingYarn *drum roll* you got petite hands 😂🤣😂🤣
My engagement ring is bespoke and designed by me, but because I went with moissanite and ordered from a Chinese custom jewelry company, it only cost $500. Similar rings for lab grown diamonds of the same size and clarity and with similar details (6-prong tulip, cathedral, half eternity pave) cost $5k+. I've had it for 6 years now and I still get unsolicited compliments on it. But the 6 rounded claw prongs snag things a lot, so I tend to only wear it when I'm going out. For my wedding band my husband and I got matching his and hers black tungsten brushed bands. I had done a raw sapphire ring for a while as my daily wear, but I find that I just want something smooth and unobtrusive because I just don't want to have to remember to be non-chaotic with my hands.
Okay, that sounds absolutely fabulous!!! 💍
42:30 DUDE! did you just solve all my problems with purling?!
It’s a game changer!!!! I also like keeping the smaller needle on the left needle when I work in the round. It helps the needles slide more so they don’t get tight/stuck on the left needle.
I think u look really nice. All the time. It’s your you coming through. Have u ever met a person who may not have been facially appealing at first but when u get to know them they then look lovely because their actual person shows through. Just saying. 😅
I have combined the Drops Alpaca bouclé with their fingering alpaca and quite quickly got used to knitting with bouclé yarn. I will definitely do it again. Now I need socks, but I hate knitting two of the same. Maybe I should look at the bright side: I too have really small feet.
Thats a really great combo!
So re:darning/ mending socks: I just learned that you can remove an afterthought heel and toe and re-knit them when they wear through!!! I'm so excited about this news. Idk, maybe you can just reknit on a new heel, depending on how you made them the first time?
That’s actually a genius idea!
I’m older so I love visible mending and unless I’m misjudging the dates on the videos I have seen, it also seems to be what y’all call “on trend”, but speaking from experience, weaving and duplicate stitch mend equally well. There’s no structural reason to use one or the other that I have noticed, do what you like. As long as you secure and protect the fibers, it’s fine.
It’s really nice to hear from someone with experience. I definitely liked the weaving method more from a process perspective and I love the way it looks.
You JUST tried mango!?!?!?! I live and breathe mango
I love mango flavored things but for some reason just never ended up buying an actual mango
I love Hannah Alonzo! I recommend Shawna Ripari if you want similar content, but more focused on consumarism!
Ouuuu thank you! I eat up consumerism-based content like crazy. I love it!
This is such a great video. So many gems, most of all your cats are so incredible! That view of Pippin is so sweet. Your socks turned out so cute. And I'm excited to see how both of the sweaters turn out. Your tip about using a smaller needle on the purl side is genius. I've been on a journey to get my flat stockinette even for a while now. I've currently settled on just giving each purl stitch an extra little tug while carrying the yarn to the next stitch. It works, but isn't very smooth. I'll give your strategy a try. I'm curious, do you always go down a full mm? Thank you so much for the wonderful content!
I usually play it by ear when I go down needle sizes. Sometimes I go down 2mm in needle size, sometimes just 1/2mm smaller. I find that my purl tension is a little different with each yarn type. Going down 1mm is usually my jumping off point though. Good luck!
@@BreathingYarn Sweet! Thank you so much for the tip.
UGH Home Depot! as soon as you said you were going to Home Depot I thought, some guy there is going to be really condescending. They always are to me. Always like: "You're doing that *all by yourself*?? What about your boyfriend?" 😑 Anyway love your videos, thanks for sharing your projects!
I needed to measure immediately, because I also have tiny hands. Mine are 6,5 inches. Have you ever tried the Sockwonder for knitting socks? A lot of people don't like those tiny needles but I love them and I can finish socks so much faster using these.
I haven’t tried that brand but I have used some shortie needles for sock making and I like them. I should try those though because mine only has 1.5” tips and I’d like using one with a larger tip
aaaand a brazilian music out of the blue at the end of the video hahaha
Brazilian music is always a win 🥰
@BreathingYarn we need some form of cat cam for these videos 😂 a second angle intentional obscured by the bestest black kittens on the internet (it’s Merri and Pippin). ❤❤❤ it isn’t a video without the girls having their 15 seconds of fame each each ❤
😆 yes
Hello, this was amazing episode, I can’t knit I needed to watch, you are so good in chatting, how to learn it:)) ? I even measured my hand😂, I’m really petite and now I’m thinking I have huge hands comparing my size 😂
Also did you know that you can size up the same ring. :)
We all have bad and good days:) it’s normal:)
Don’t worry, I just have really tiny hands 😆
13:10 😂😂
What did you think of The French Dispatch? 😄 It was the first Wes Anderson movie I ever watched, I absolutely adored it and his work has been a really intense hyperfixation for me ever since hahah, so I'm always interested to hear what others think of it! 🥰
Anyway, neurodivergent rambling aside, I loooove these videos! I've been working on a baby cardigan for my co-worker while watching
💖
I really liked it. So far, Fantastic Mr.Fox is my favorite Wes Anderson movie
Love you. Also 99% sure you said scissors are not essential and proceeded to show how you can break the yarn by pulling on it. Are we all crazy? 😂❤
Oh no! I may have unintentionally gaslit a bunch of people 😩 does it count if I said it in my head 😂
@@BreathingYarn 😁😆🤣
I just realized… I don’t think I know your name. Great knits though. Love that cumulus blouse
My name is Isabella :) pleased to meet you!
@@BreathingYarn what a lovely name ! Mine is Christiane, nice to meet you too!
did anyone catch what yarn was used for her mum's sweater (cumulus)? the colour is gorgeous 🥺
Drops Air (blown alpaca)
@@BreathingYarn thank you !!
omg i was just about to close the video in the end and then a brazilian song started?? it got me so suprised and i never thought i would get to ask a foreigner for a song recommendation from my own country lol but please drop the name!! it's the one in the pink mended sock shot just for reference
I love Brazilian music and have been exploring music from Central America as well 🥰 the song is Deixa de Preguica by Luis Mura
Oop- don’t show this video to my 4 WIPs right now!
I‘m so distracted by the shark head 😂 what is that shark? 😱💖
You should see my bear and unicorn heads 😂
@@BreathingYarn I agree I should 😱💖 show them in the next video? 😬
How have you never had mango until recently??
If you like gory horror satire you may like the movie Bad Sheep (the New Zealand film) has the best dialog and a moral of the dangers of genetic engineering. It’s offal.
Ouuuuuuu, I must look this up!
were can I find your spotify playlist?
There's a link in the description, but in case that doesn't work, it's here too: open.spotify.com/playlist/1rHVbuHssTaov5iDAq1Ze6?si=Mxfx509GQfy6MVB638wp2w&pi=u-2AyOUd3-SjO_&nd=1&dlsi=ca86c90a5d2d47f2
