I so look forward to your FlossTubes. The hat you made looks so good. Thanks for sharing. Take care.

[@shirleychase170]

I agree with Dianehall that throwing your hat in the dryer, it will felt. Next hat, used a smaller needle. wool felt.
I see knitters using larger size needles but I am sometime a looser knitter so I have to make a test run.
I am crocheter more than a knitter but almost everything works the same. Happy knitting.

[@rhondaoneal2198]

Your knit hat is super super cute on you and the blue color looks really good!

[@catherinelaurent5219]

So much frun seing you again.

[@luannecrinion440]

Hi Liz, Your hat looks great. I agree with many comments on here that you are risking having the hat felt if you put it in the dryer. The Rasta is a great yarn for hat but it is a single ply yarn so I would not recommend trying to shrink it. As others say, using a smaller size needle will help you get a better fit. Also, regarding the need for wet blocking, not all knits need it, especially hats. Once you get one that is the size you wish, I would just wear it and enjoy it. Happy knitting..

I love all of your crafting progress. My list of "priorities" keeps getting longer too. Every project I see or plan is "next" but they can't all be, can they? Lol.

[@lindaskinner5887]

Thanks for sharing.

[@gleehanson4775]

I've got the burn right now to create all the things right now too! Real life gets in the way though.

[@KimberlyL1958]

Would love to see the flip through!!

[@shariwitt1977]

All so fun! You always inspire and uplift! Cross stitch, knitting, quilting, I love it all. Your hat turned out beautifully.

[@patriciacohn2366]

The Quaker autumn tree & Boo are sooo sweet! Can't wait to see your Christmas Quilt...love the fabrics. Wondering who makes the green fabric you chose? Fantastic job on your hat! Love the yarn color & texture, but DON'T put it in the dryer. I think wool in the dryer felts ( shrinks up into almost fabric like density ) & will be very fuzzy. I don't think that is what you're looking for. The first sweater I made for my husband came out 3 sizes too big. I had to run seams down each side with my sewing machine to take it in! Your tension will probably tighten as you progress. I think it looks great on you as is! Off to stitch...P. S. Would they consider Jingle Ball sticker with the logo for those who use the book of days or journal their stitching? Didn't see one in the merch shop...

Your hat is ADORABLE!! I love it! All of your projects are coming along so well! ❤

[@lauriecarlson4672]

You are always such a JOY to watch and listen to! Your personality BEAMS!!! You are always so happy, grateful, and you enjoy life! It is so wonderful to see that! Thank you for sharing ALL you have with us! I greatly enjoy your patterns! Happy Halloween!

[@theresachucle5362]

Enjoyed watching your video and catching up with you today.
Love your hat so adorable. Have a wonderful weekend and happy stitching 😊🪡🧵🤗🤩

[@kimezman8697]

Awesome video. I love the quilt block. The pompom makes the hat😊

[@emilywells869]

Thanks for sharing your crafting again. Have a wonderful week!

[@dianehall3536]

Stopped your video to give you knitting advice: Malabrigo (pronounced mal-uh- bree'-go) will felt, not shrink in the dryer. It's a particularly rustic yarn. Either frog the hat and try again with a slightly smaller needle; find a friend with a bigger hat; or go ahead with your experiment (but beware!). Love the cross stitch, your cheeriness, your enthusiasm - all the things!

[@dianahenson6184]

You’re hat is beautiful! 💙 DON’T put the hat in the dryer!! Rasta is a single plied yarn and will felt in the dryer. I would gift it to a friend.

[@ritahill5310]

Yes, Yes to FFOs. I procrastinate on finishes and have several in my box that needs to be completed.

[@steppincloser]

The hat turned out fantastic Liz!! And just stocked up from your Etsy shop - thank you!!

[@rockymtnpenny]

I am in love with your new quilt project! Have you by chance seen Kari's foolproof method of sewing patchwork with perfect points? It is definitely on my bucket list!

[@sherryrudder6035]

Thanks for sharing your crafts. 😊

[@janisjagielkymiller6869]

I would downsize the needles to make smaller. Did you test you stitch size with yarn? Shrinking in dryer is Riskey. I use to felt wool that’s way stitching on huge needs and it would shrink. I have never shrunk on minimal sizes. Hope someone help more.

[@karenink]

You look adorable in that hat!

[@ritahill5310]

I have my ticket but the two classes I was interested in were sold out. Is there a chance registration in classes will up the numbers in their particular classes?

[@crazybandladystitches-xanl5148]

😍🌻🐝

[@karenjones256]

Liz, your enthusiasm is contagious! I just received the cloth for Santa’s Tree class and can’t wait to begin stitching it!

[@PattiBlackwell-wb7vf]

I would love an FFO video.

[@user-yo4zd5fz7g]

I love your hat! It looks terrific on your head. DO NOT put it in the dryer.

[@patchy_pony_stitcher]

Rather than coffee can we enjoy a wine together?

[@margomcintosh763]

Don’t put your hat in the drier! You will felt it and ruin it. Just give it to someone with a bigger head and knit another one.
