I use the premier thread to make fancy doll dresses I have also held it with a fingering wt yarn to make fancy evening shawls for my nieces proms, parties et al π
Beautiful shawl!! You are a true yarn artist!
I have picked up knitting twice and couldnβt find joy in it. But sometimes I watch your videos and I get the urge to try one more time.
Love all the stuff, noticed there was lots of green (your favorite color of course), but where was the orange? hehehe. Love ya
Hi Gary, enjoyed seeing your makes and happy mail. Pretty yarn colors.
All of the colors! Pixel is adorable!
Hi Gary, your makes are always so amazingly beautiful and your nack for putting colors together is phenomenal.
Totally enjoyed this video. Hi to Chad n hugs to Pixel.
Ross of Smells Like Yarn uses the glittery yarn and mixes it with another yarn. I don't know if he uses that fabric as a wearable.
Oh my … the mini hanks are gorgeous – stunning colours ! Such lovely happy mail – the socks are so nice π§¦- thanks for a great video Gary βΊοΈπ§Άπ
You have an amazing talent with not only patterns, but with colour as well. π
Glad youβre feeling top notch again Gary. π
Hi Gary! I always love waking up to see a new video from you. It makes my day! Love all of your makes and thank you so much for sharing them. Hugs to you, Chad, and adorable Pixel!
Shawl is gorgeous!
Dear Gary,
β€β€β€ Happy to see that you are feeling better. Love the Colourist shawl, my only idea would be (against the moustachy look) to knit or to crochet a border/an edge..
Have a nice week
Hi Gary, Loved everything and love those green shades with a little mustard.
π±π©΅ you work is always sooooo beautiful! And your color combinations are absolutely Stunning! No wonder Hobbii gifted you that yarn! Gorgeous π₯°β₯οΈWould love to go yarn shopping with you one day β€one can dream right π
You and Shannon over at Just Another Yarn always amaze me with your knitting π₯Ή
I've knit several shawls using the tab start and some have huge "mustache" shapes and some are barely noticeable. I would compare the pattern tab instructions to see how different they are. Stephen West's garter tabs are great. Not sure if acrylic vs wool makes a difference other than in blocking.
Pixel is just too darn cute
Love her β€β€
I am happy you are feeling better
π₯°π₯°π₯°
Great yarn haul and makes. Thank you for sharing your happy mail and what you have been doing. Glad you are feeling better.
hi, have a great day, love happy mail
hiya gary! for the roll that didnt block out…i would roll/fold it under (toward the underside) then simply and lightly stitch it down. there is a lot to try to flatten out by blocking. its a lovely piece. you are terrific with colors. btw, lots of upcycle alpaca is on sale/clearance. hugs to you, chad and pixel!!
Gary your makes are stunning glad youβre feeling better
Gary, Treats for Pixal & Chocolate for you. Nice card. Shawl is lovely. I enjoy so much knitting socks. I always have a pair on the needles. Nice doggie blanket, my Golden Retrievers love snuggling in their blankets.
Hi Honey I hope everything is going great π for your family.
Hanks Cowl looks like it is gorgeous. If you made it I know it has to be gorgeous. OMG THAT KNITTED PATTERN YOU MADE IS AMAZING. I LOVE THE COLORS. YOUR MUSTACHE SYNDROME THAT IS THE FUNNIEST THING I HAVE EVER HEARD GARY YOU'RE CRAZY. I LOVE CRAZY π€£ππ
Gary you are amazing at the things you can do, it blows my mind.
There are so many YouTubers I would love to watch but I've had to cut back because I don't have time to crochet if I'm watching YouTube. I had to choose my favorites and just stick with them and it usually takes me a while to catch up on the stuff that you put out. But of course darling you I kept. I love watching your videos. I finally had to buy yarn and I loved it. Now I have to save for groceries. Good thing is I had food.
You know I am not going to leave until you are done.ππ I did not know green was your favorite color. I will have to treat you like I do Crystal and I hope you understand why I do what I do.
ππππππππ
Do you wear your cowls daily or only at home or out?
Gary,you're a true FIBER LOVER β€
So cool to hear you appreciate all the natural smells and fuzz in natural yarns
Tell Chad we miss his modeling and check ins!π
Wow,great gifted socks and afghan for puppersπ!
The sequined yarn is nice for combining allover or even just a great edging
such a great video. Love all your projects. You inspired me every video
Beautiful Shawls you have made. At moment I really like learning how crochet. love Hobbii yarn. love your happy mail. you are awesome Gary, live from Tas Aussie Land.ππππππ
