  • Hello,
    I will add my description box this weekend when I have time but I wanted to get this video sooner rather than have it sitting in my drafts. Hope you all are enjoying the holiday season. Thank you so much for your prayers for our son. I appreciate you!

      Thank you! 😊 I am so glad that he appreciates all the hats. It’s not much work on my end because I am a fast knitter but I love that he wears ‘em’ every day. 🙈🤍

    “ My Darling Girl I have been playing catch-up due to my first Covid throw-down….. I want to say so much…your cross stitch is so fearlessly inspiring to us in the community….your knitting is jaw-droppingly gorgeous…..and YET your willingness to share the joys as well as the dark valleys we walk through as People’s of God enrich this community ten-fold in every video You share……I believe our God LOVES All His/Her people…..unbelievers are “their” specialty so all we have to do is “be who we are “when we share with them on a daily basis…..my go to mantra during the deepest valleys of my despair in 72 years is “ Sherry, Be still and know that I am God”…..Psalm 46:10……..honestly I must have breathed this in -and out tens of thousands of times……Blessings My Dear Woman/Child on You and Your Family…..

    Time is flying. I can't believe you are already 7 months pregnant. You are just glowing. I'm not a knitter but I am totally impressed by your projects. The sweaters are beautiful and it's so nice your husband loves wearing the beanies. Enjoyed the Flosstube as usual.

    @WhatstheSizzle Před 7 měsíci +1

    It is important to really READ a chart. I am met with huffs & puffs to that but I am not meaning to offend but of course we can read a chart but I have to study those symbols. Find the ones that are very close to one another-check; notice if there are more than black color, for instance a black symbol 'n' & a red one (& sometimes a blue one). etc. It can save frogging & grief & stress down the line. An important step we forget to mention. By the way, you are glowing. You are stunningly beautiful today. Sizzle on.

    • @TheSeattleStitcher
      @TheSeattleStitcher  Před 7 měsíci

      This chart is in all black unfortunately and my pregnancy brain might let me down even after reading LOL! I totally agree. It’s good to take time and study the heck out of the pattern before starting when the symbols are tricky. It’s worth it to me though I love the chart so much! 🥰😍

Truly heirlooms for you and your family to enjoy for generations to come. Thank you for sharing them. ☺️ Prayers still being said for you and the little man!

    I’m so curious how many beanies your husband has. Since you knit new ones every year it must be a lot! Does he wear them all? It’s amazing to wear something with love stitched into it ❤️

    • @TheSeattleStitcher
      @TheSeattleStitcher  Před 7 měsíci +2

      He wears one every day 🥰. Honestly I have no idea how many he has LOL! I actually toss the old ones every year or two so that’s why he gets so many new ones every fall winter. I feel lucky that he wears them and really appreciates them. I do need to knit him some fun ones. He loves color! I try to knit him the same gray or black ones every year though so he has a fresh set. He even wears them to the gym 🤣😵‍💫. They get nasty!

  • @FrallaKnits
    @FrallaKnits Před 7 měsíci +1

    I love your colourwork sweater finish! It looks fantastic. And I love your idea of knitting items oversized so anyone can wear them. I can remember Skeindeer talking about her family’s cabin in a video years ago and how there were just sweaters there for anyone to wear. I think I’ll have to start doing that myself. I knit Kosekofte when it was released and really enjoyed it. I’m looking forward to watching your progress too!

    • @TheSeattleStitcher
      @TheSeattleStitcher  Před 7 měsíci

      I am absolutely obsessed with the idea of passing sweaters down. I really want to have a good little collection for my own family. I know not everyone will like them being in rustic wools but they just last forever. Can’t wait to get some more progress on that one. 🥰

    Lovely video again with amazing projects and tour fabric choices. I was planning on starting Sarah Moon but my boys were ill and stitching time went out the wondow. I have the Sarah Moon chart and the symbols chosen are awful! Mark-up R XP really didn't like the chart either for me so if i do start this in the future, i think it would be easier to use the hard copy 😂
    The last few months of pregnancy was so uncomfortable So hope you are doing ok x

    • @TheSeattleStitcher
      @TheSeattleStitcher  Před 7 měsíci +1

      Omg markup HATES that pattern. The girls and I use it as well and they said they had to go in and manually select every single motif 😬🙈. Hope your kiddos feel better soon! Thank you for thinking of me! The last few months are definitely the hardest. I am trying my best but it’s just exhausting being that pregnant lol!

    I was crocheting a Vincent Van Gogh amigurumi for my coworker while watching your video.
    You keep tempting me with that friendship quaker pattern! It looks amazing.

    Love your sweater it is gorgeous! Just curious why is zweigart more affordable and which one is your favorite? Thanks for this tidbit, it can get so expensive to do some projects

    • @TheSeattleStitcher
      @TheSeattleStitcher  Před 7 měsíci

      Zweigart is a brand that sells non mottled fabrics so since they are not hand dyed they are more cost effective. I love basic Antique white, Dirty Linen, and platinum. Those are a few colors I really enjoy. The weave is also not too tight since it is not dyed over again to created a hand dyed look. I really am loving using those more “simple” fabrics when I have a variegated floss too. 😍

    Thanks for the referral to MO’s. I requested to join. That sweater is amazing! Any chance you would consider doing a quick tutorial on the simple beanie? I already ordered the Tehete yarn. I wasn’t sure if you used the 100% wool or the blend so… I ordered both in my sons fav colors. I’m def a visual learner. ☺️. Continued prayers for your precious boy! ❤️

    • @TheSeattleStitcher
      @TheSeattleStitcher  Před 7 měsíci +1

      I love that idea! If I ever have time I will for sure put together a video. I’ll have to figure out a good set up to film my hands but that’s a great idea. I have used both the 100% wool and the wool nylon blend. The blend I find I can wash in the washing machine and the 100% wool I cannot. I love both!

    • @teresagardenhire8424
