Please please please do a knitted sock tutorial… I know there are other ones out there, but I just can’t get it!!! You’re a better teacher!!!!!
I learned how to knit socks with the video on Craft House Magic. I'm so addicted. The 3 videos are very good and clear instructions!!!
Another excellent teacher is Florence of Handmade by Florence on CZcams. She has a step by step tutorial for knitting a pair of lace socks. I used the tutorial but left out the pattern and successfully knitted a pair of vanilla socks. I’d really struggled before watching her.
I love your channel. While I’ll never knit, I love seeing what others make.
Okay now I think I have to play with some of the abundance of yarn I have downstairs. Along with some quilting
Loved your vlog video. Like seeing your cats as well. Have a great week.
The collar on sweater looks just great. Yarn you purchased will make a beautiful shaw. The socks you are knitting look real nice. Walk in Peace. ❤ ❤
That was a lot of fun. Thank you for sharing. Your enthusiasm is infectious ❤️
I’m sooooo jealous the cats snuggle together! My 15 yr old is crotchety and won’t be nice to the 2yr old. They barely lay a few feet from each other when they sleep with me.
Loving the Easter Egg sweater! Great colors.
Need to get back to my sweaters. I’m busy with cowl and socks.
Thanks for sharing. One of your #1’s. ❤
I love your crafty week vlogs. Wish I could knit but I can crochet.your sweater is going to be gorgeous
Liz…..you’re my FAVORITE Easter EGG!!!!! 💚
I would love if you can do a tutorial for socks knitting!!! 💚😊💚
Thank you so much Liz. Your videos are always such fun and your projects are amazing.
I would love to see a video on how to order frames, spacers, glass, and foam core for finishing cross stitch projects. It was good to see everything you’ve been up to. Your sweater is beautiful. ❤
Beautiful yarn. You do beautiful work. Thank you for the reality of wanting to do it all along with dealing with work, the everyday activities and then organizing and house cleaning. The blue fabric for the skipjack sampler has the stormy cloudy look type of day. The before looks like any crafter’s room at some point of their day.
Never enough hours in the day to do everything I want!
Came for the cross stitch and end up obsessed with your sweater (those colors!) and your cats.
Thank you!!
Your pastel stripe sweater is delightful! A little bit bigger is a good thing. It won’t cling to you when it’s hot outside and you layer something underneath if it’s cold. Win-Win! I cannot wait to see the completed sweater. 🧶🧶🧶
It’s not a disaster zone. It’s a highly trafficked creative space. You’re fortunate to have a room dedicated to all your crafting endeavors. Enjoy it messy or clean.
I love, love, love the “Home Sweet Home” pattern although it looks like it has a lot of confetti stitches.
😱😱😱 You dislike filling in large, tedious spaces and I loathe confetti stitches.
I really like the molding you selected. The manager should have offered an appointment with the framer and a rain check for the 70% off. It’s her job to make you happy. She needs to be reminded of her job description.
😃😃😃
Did you finish the quilt you were QAL-ing with Liz Mathews and I missed the video? Just curious.
👀👀👀
🐈⬛🐈🐈 The true stars of the video!
I have to agree with everyone that I love any and everything you craft! I just love your personality and your love of crafts. Btw, I think you could be a personal shopper for yarns! I love your choices for your sweater and your new scarf. You’ve motivated me to get out my knitting. I’ve knitted since 1983. Sweaters were big then so I made several then I got lazy and made scarves. I’d love to make a shawl and am thinking I’d like to learn socks. I throw my yarn and am interested in how you knit. Love your vlog, you are so much more animated and casual. ❤ I’ve had the worst month and it was so nice to get to watch you. ❤
Your sweater is turning out beautiful! I am enjoying your knitting segments along with your other crafts.
Loved it all! The sweater is beautiful and I agree with suggestions of a sock tutorial. I think I like the purple for the shawl. Take care Liz and look forward to my next visit!
Stop stressing the sweater is PERFECT! It looks so cute on you. It doesn’t look like an Easter egg to me! 🥰
You get so much accomplished in one week. Answer truthfully: How much sleep do you get each night?
Keep your upbeat, relaxed, down to Earth videos coming. They are the perfect combination of inspiration and aspiration!
I cannot wait for your next video!
🤩🤩🤩
🐈⬛🐈🐈 The true stars of the show!
I love you striped sweater. It’s going to be gorgeous! Your kitties are adorable!
Absolutely love your sweaters!! Love the colors of your new striped one!!
Girl! You know your way around a sweater! It's gorgeous! I wish I knew how to knit one just like it!!! Have you ever considered teaching a step by step tutorial on making this sweater or do you know of one on CZcams that I could stitch along? The cream collar is beautiful. Don't second guess it, it's perfect. Remember in school when they said always go with the first answer? Go with it. I enjoyed this style of video so much! PS your studio is awesome! I'm a fan! Happy Stitching, Kari StClair 😊
Love your sweater with the cream! Don’t change a thing.
I for sure in my sewing room have to deal with a disaster zone from time to time.
Its just part of being crafter!
Love this style video! Very fun to follow along, especially as someone who tries to do a little bit of something creative everyday! Looking forward to a framing-specific video!
I love following your knitting projects!
It looks beautiful! You are me everything I make I doubt my decisions always. It looks fabulous!
So nice of you to share your life !! I so-o-o took advantage of Michael's Sale ... Twice 💰 💸 🤑
Hi Liz, your sweater looks amazing. I think the collar looks fine. Once you get the cuffs on the sleeves and bottom it will all fall into place. Love your color choice. Don’t think about the size yet!! It’s looks GREAT on you. Everyone has a craft room in disarray at some time or another. No worries. I feel like I clean mine and it still looks out of sorts. 😅I love the teal and hot pink for your scarf. I also need to tell you how good you’re looking. Your gym workouts have really paid off. Makes me want to do it. NAAAAHHHHH. 🤣🤣🤣 Anyway…. Have a wonderful week…..Debbie
Your knitting is just beautiful-and I love the neckline of your sweater and the color🙂. You inspired me to knit a hooded sweater for my 2yo granddaughter- haven’t knitted with DP needles ever so idk how that will go for the sleeves😬. Your sweaters are gorgeous! As is your stitching always. Thanks for the work and inspiration ❤
Great blog thank you... love seeing the yarn and kitties ;)
I'm excited to see your tips and tricks for prepping for framing. I've always hesitated to order my own custom frames because I wasn't completely sure how to measure some of the dimensions properly. This was a fun video, thanks for taking us along through your week. 🪡👠
The sweater neck looks great!
Love the sweater. Wish I could knit good enough to do a sweater or a pair of socks. I really like to see a little bit of your life and see when you have time to knit or sew.
I vote teal and purple 😊 love watching your videos, wish knitting came as easy as crochet for me cause those sweaters are awesome ❤
Loved this video and love how you keep it so real. So many vloggers/bloggers/CZcamsrs only show their perfect lives (perfect make-up, perfect house, perfect craft room, perfect craft project, perfect hair, perfect life). Love the realness of you and your life! Thanks for sharing all the fun stuff you do! Please do a video with your mom soon .... we need to see what she's been crafting too!
Your knitting so inspires me to get mine back out - ❤
The vlog for the week was great!! And I got to see the kitties without coming into contact with them…severely allergic! What a great life they have! 😂. I wondered if you might do a little tutorial on how you throw your yarn Elizabeth style..it’s unique. It looks very efficient and I think it’s faster than my old-fashioned traditional way of throwing the yarn. Old dogs can learn new tricks!! 😊.
Thank you! I was taught to crochet first so was used to holding my yarn in my left hand and it felt easier to wrap rather than pick so that’s my little unique way of knitting! I think continental is probably faster than my way though!
❤ I love your sweater.
Love your vlogs & all the projects!!!!
I like the hot pink yarn.
I think the collar looks great!! 😉
Love your vlogs, blogs and videos. Your sweater looks amazing. Yes, cream ribbing is perfect and so is the more purple yarn for your upcoming knit along with your friends. Guess this means the shawl knitting tutorial you promised in December will not come to fruition? Stay real and continue your recordings!❤️
That was fun - thanks!
❤️ your video. Your kitties are so precious. I have two and they sleep by me e dry chance they can get!!🥰
Thank you! 😊
Nice video!! I think either of those colors will go great for your shawl. ❤ Looking forward to your next flosstube ❤
Thank you! 😊
The jewel tones with the dream in color are gorgeous! I’m working on a 3 color version of a test Tunisian crochet shawl by Val Casey of Sunset Fiber Co. a local hand dryer, using her gorgeous yarns
I love it!!!❤
Love this
I love your sweater. You are so sweet and love your videos. I would love to knit. Eould you do a beginner video? Love your vlogs and all your crafts. Thank you for sharing.
Great video! I will make you feel better about your room. I couldn't even walk into mine! It is just off the foyer and I had been putting boxes in there rather than putting stuff away. I actually had to clear a path to get to my table to even begin organizing. Ugh... I have too many quilting projects in various stages of incomplete.
👏👏👏👏 SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU….. 😊 CANT WAIT TO SEE WHAT YOUR UP TO
Yay! Thank you!
Thank you, Liz. I felt like I was with you the whole time. The sweater is coming along nicely.
This was really fun Liz. Your new sweater is looking so gorgeous. We had the Bay Area Yarn Crawl the last 10 days and I met Knitty Natty at our local yarn shop - so fun to meet her, husband & sweet pup, Toaster. I’m still working hard on my beanie, almost done with the body, then onto the top & decreasing- scary! I bought all the yarn to make the Poppy beanie from the Knitting California book- color work eeeeek! Just love your Love Boats finish!
The new sweater looks lovely. We would call it a jumper in the UK. We all need a tidy up in our craft rooms x
Your knitting totally amazing, your sweaters and socks are gorgeous! I always enjoy your cross stitch and quilting creations as well as crocheting. The Battenberg afghan is going to be beautiful! In my opinion, Michaels should have honored the 70% off promotion since they were unable to fulfill the order. Thanks for sharing! Happy Easter! 🐰🐣🐰
Love the vlog style video! ❤ your cats are precious!
Thank you!! 😊
Thanks for sharing. What a fun video., love the sweater project. I think you should stick with the original colors for your shawl. There is something about that purple color. ( your right either color would work, I just like the purple). ❤
I always love your vlogs! And your kitties. 🐱 I really like the purplish yarn for the shawl, but I'm sure they would both be beautiful. And my gamer boy wants to know what Rob was playing. 😂🎮
he says it was "Demon's Souls"? 😂
I love your striped sweater, I just made a scrappy striped cardigan which I'm calling my Easter cardigan because of the colours 😀.
oh i love that! Stripes are just so much fun to knit!
Great tidy-up job! Good for you! Sometimes it is the hardest thing. As I know only too well! Thanks for being an inspiration, Elizabethann.
Thank you! 💖
Pretty sweater! I discovered I was unsubscribed from your channel. I heard that happened with other CZcams channels but hadn’t noticed being unsubscribed from any Chanel’s until today. I happened to check because I was looking for something and saw your video posted.
Oh weird! Glad you’re re subscribed now 😀
I also had been unsubscribed but quickly fixed that situation. So weird.
I really enjoyed this type of video! It's fun to see how you spend your week. Your sweater is absolutely gorgeous! I might have to get that pattern in try it.
Oh thank you!
I love your excitement for your sweater. I’m not a knitter and I enjoy hearing you talk about your knitting. I can totally relate to “it’s good enough for now.” My sewing table is a resting spot for many non-sewing things. 🤭
It was so nice to have it cleared and ready for sewing! And it always takes less time than I think
I think the cream perks up the other colors and it looks great for the ribbings. You are doing great with your sweater.
I absolutely LOVE that striped sweater you are making and the colors are incredible. I can’t wait to see more. Gorgeous.
Thank you so much!
Love these videos! Your sweater looks spectacular!
Thank you so much!
Would love information on how to order frames. I have so many finished and would love the guidance! P.S. I love this style of video!
I totally enjoy each and every single thing you post and share.
💗
Your sweater is looking so cute, and I love your cross stitch new start. I love you vlog style videos capturing all of your crafty stuff - so fun to watch. I hope you have a great upcoming week. Happy crafting!
Beautiful sweater
Thank you! 😊
Knit, knit, knit...😀😄😃😉🎉, enjoyed the week with you💃🌼
Love your vlogs❤ Thanks for sharing all your crafting!
Your sweater looks great! I am always so impressed in how much you get done on all your projects in a week. That new cross stitch is beautiful. Do you know if it’s Aida friendly? Thanks for sharing.
Your shawl colors are gorgeous together. Will be beautiful.
Thank you! 😊
Great video! I enjoy your crafty week blog videos, they are so real and makes me want to try different knitting patterns. Stripes intimidate me but you make it look so easy I am going to cast one on :). Have a good week and I look forward to your next video!!
Thank you so much!
I am very interested in seeing how you measure, purchase frames, and mount your samplers.
In love with your sweaters! My middle name is “second guesser.” 😂
😂😂 same
Love your sweater. Perfection!
Thank you! 😊
Would love to see a video with you knitting in real time . . . it seems you work so fast! It would be great to see how you actually knit.
I left part of my knitting clips at regular speed for y'all but yeah most are sped up just for ease of watching!
Love the vlog style videos! Those jewel tones are gorgeous! That shawl will be beautiful. 🤩
Thank you so much!
Your sweater is coming along beautifully. Do you swatch in the round for your sweaters? I loved following along on your week. Ah keeping a crafting room straightened up is a challenge. I am working on mine and it's looking pretty good however the closet where I store some of my supplies is a whole other story. I look forward to the video about measuring cross stitch for framing.
Love your newest stripped sweater. Yes, the white looks fine in the sweater, and as the accent color.😊 Sorry your trip to Michael's was a bust😢
Thank you!!
Keep the collar!
❤❤❤
Your sweater is great! Love the colors. Since I'm starting to think about getting one, are you happy with your yarn swift?
Love love the crafty vlogs, you are sooooo inspiring, but could you please please consider a quick section on your fabulous weight loss, I realise there might be some apprehension because lets face it no matter what you are doing someone will have an opinion on it, but i dont think you realise how great you look, i mean you always look great but seeing someone, watching someone absolutely smash becoming the best version of themselves is so inspirational and motivating❤you are fantastic😊
I would am having trouble holding my yarn tension in my right fingers, any tips? What fingers do you feed the strand through? Thanks!
Those jewel toned colors are beautiful together that you will be doing with your friends. lol you are too funny with your craft room. Clean your room 😂
its the worst thing about being a crafter, the clean up! 😂
@@elizabethanncanstitch 🤗
If only you’d mentioned the drinking game idea at the start of the video…🤣
You're going to need to move to a colder climate. 😉
Which local yarn store? Aren’t there 4 around you? I live in San Antonio.
If you're asking about the pink yarn, I bought that at Gauge Knits in Austin
Could you please add time stamps for the crafts? I enjoy seeing you, but would prefer to skip the knitting and go to the cross stitch.
Thank you.
