    Hi Megan :) Thanks for sharing your talents with us again this week! Your advent calendar for Amira is such a sweet idea, and I'm sure she'll love having a bunny doll to play dress up with. You are such a talented knitter, and the thought of creating family heirloom pieces is so special. I hope you're having a great week! Happy stitching 💜

    Hi. Guess what? I have NEVER used a needle minder. Been stitching for over 60 years, however, I do have tons of little pincushions. I used to make one for each of my projects. Don't have project bags either, but spare pillowcases work great. LOL. Love your channel & the Museum stitcher is a fav of mine.

      I made a bunch of needleminders by gluing a magnet to some cheap pins that I cut the pin part off. They're REALLY fun and double as fridge magnets. But I LOVE the pillow case idea! Never thought of that!

    You are such a pleasure to watch. The pieces you are stitching are so much fun and your knitting…wow!! I knit and you have inspired me to grab my unfinished socks and start working on them again. Your fair isle sweater is beautiful. You are very talented, thank you for taking the time to share and explain in such detail your projects :). Happy stitching and knitting.

    Hi, my sweet friend! I sure enjoyed your visit, as per usual. It really touched my heart when you talked (@ 20:00 ish) about loving this community and feeling almost overwhelmed by the blessings you receive…I feel the same! So many wonderful, giving folks that share their love and kindness with us, it’s just amazing! Thank you for sharing yours with us! 🥰 Girl, your knitting section was so beautiful and heartwarming. The tiny bunny for Amira is beyond precious, as is the gorgeous sweater for Janet’s grandbaby! I LOVE that you are focusing on heirloom pieces for the future…what a beautiful heart you have. 💗 You have lifted my spirits today. Thank you.

      Meline you have become such a part of my life over this past year that because I hadn’t heard from you I was literally talking to my girls this morning asking if they have heard from you. LOL! I was worried 😆💖. I love you and adore you and thank you so, so much for your kindness to me over this past year and a half.
      I cannot wait to get the little bunny finished and start some of the clothes for it. It’s gonna be so cute! I definitely want to focus on pieces that will last past my lifetime and I hope someday people remember me through them.

    I enjoy seeing all the crafts so thanks for showing stitching and knitting. Multicraftrual is a way of life in our home. Love the sweaters you are knitting and the stuffed toy for your daughter. I almost wish someone I know was having a new baby enter their life so I could knit that pattern too! Have you seen some of Susan B Anderson’s cute animal patterns? Adorable. If I remember correctly one pattern is for a bear who has a bunny costume! I love your colorwork sweater. That particular style of knitting is one that continues to be outside my skill level (or rather willingness to be unskilled for however long it takes to get the muscle memory.)

    Hi Megan
    Megan - I envy you - I give anything if I could Knit - I can Crochet but the only thing I know how to do is Casting on when it comes to Knitting. Maybe one of these days I will learn how to Knit just like you do. You have beautiful Knitting Projects. I love the little bear as I call him that you made for your little girl. This is so cute and adorable.
    Love your WIPS - they are so pretty. You are making great progress on them.
    Janet Jabber and I live in the Same State which is really cool. Not sure how far apart we are but she too lives in a very small town just like I do.

You are so right - Our Crafts bring us so much joy and this Community of ours is one great big family that we all belong to. There is a Knitting Group that meets at my local Library in my town but they only meet during the Winter Months - I can’t get out during the Winter Time. It’s a bummer because they should meet during the summer months and not during the winter months. I taught myself to Cast On. I can do the basic knit stitch but I need more practice though. ❤️🤗🧵🪡🧵🧶❤️

      Thank you so much! Ya know it was pretty recent that I picked up colorwork. I think 6 years ago I knit my first colorwork sweater. I have been knitting for 20 years though and so the idea of colorwork didn’t scare me. I just picked out a pattern and knit it. No one taught me I just learned from reading patterns. ❤️
