Hai. Is it Mongolian cashmere? My boyfriend's parents worked for the World Bank, & they would do business/ travel to various countries, including Mongolia. His mom got my boyfriend Mongolian cashmere products i.e. blankets & sweaters. Maybe there's different quality cashmere depending on where you get it
The black and white look great. You are way over thinking it
Leslie Is the good wool DK? That’s why it so much bigger than your others? I love how it’s coming out🥰🥰
I love your Felix pullover! I love the colors. It’s going to look so cute on you🥰🥰
Great episode. Glad you had a nice trip. On the subject of dog DNA we had our rescue dog’s done. What a surprise- When we got our pup they said his mom was lab/boxer and he would be about 65 lbs. He kept getting bigger and we took bets on what the dad might be. Our guesses ran along the lines of Great Dane, Mastiff, Ridge Back, and Kerr. As you can see by our guesses we have a very large dog on our hands. Well the DNA came back and none of those are in him (and they estimated him to be 80lbs) He of course has lab/boxer but American bull terrier, golden retriever, and a few others but our favorite was he’s 3% chihuahua. So I tell people he’s chihuahua mix who just happens to be 106 lbs.😂😂😂
Black and white look good with different centers.keep working as you are now❤️
Don't throw away the cardigan. One if the other comments was correct. You are trying to unravel from the wrong end. Such pretty yarn. Also, when I used to crochet we made a square from plywood a bit bigger than the desired size of the granny square. We then nailed finishing nails in the corners. Once the block was done we put it on the square with the nails thru the corner holes. This straightened up the square so all sesms
Match. Thank yall.
You guys a riot. Love ya. Coochy Cream is the best
I love the black and white crochet squares…..continue…I would love to see the finished afghan!
The shaving cream is good stuff! There is also an after oil spray that helps prevent ingrown hair & chafing. It is definitely a good buy. Love the linen quill colors, I laughed when Leslie said it would be a good half and half 😂
Hello beautiful Ladies, from Mounds Illinois. Love your sweater Michelle.
Use it as a blanket for the dog :)) Hilarious ……dog will love it
Please don’t throw away that sweater! I’d be happy to pay shipping if you want to send it to me! I have loads of experience undoing crochet after 35 years of being a crocheter. I love watching you guys chat. The ruffle butt diaper covers were one of my favorite parts of when my two girls were babies. Thanks for another great episode!
The crocheted cardithing has given us all so much joy, but I suggest it’s time has passed. 😂Doggo rug, I reckon. You’d want to love that yarn a whole lot to bother fiddling about unravelling.
I'm a Wendy!!! I never heard my name, so I guess it wasn't me. But, I am really into crochet now 😁. Just sayin'.
I know I'm not the first to say it, but I would happily pay shipping for that! That would become the join squares for my two- round granny squares. 😉 As far as your circles blanket, you sounded like you were happy with it until you talked about it, so I say lay it out and take a picture of what you have. You may be able to get a better feel of it by taking the step back. And honestly, unless you make two strips of plain squares down the middle, it's not a true checkerboard anyway… 😂 Really though, if you like seeing the braided join, keep it as it is.
Lol so funny! Don’t try to involve yourself in this! I just start a podcast when someone asks! 😂
Michelle you could add a third color maybe a gray and then it wouldnt look like checkerboard. You also could use the piece you have put together and make a pillow if your are not sure. I think whatever you do it will look great.
Why is any woman still shaving their legs? Epilate them. You only have to epilate every few weeks and you never have rough whiskers. It’s not painful especially if you can withstand a tattoo.
when i try new heels i just never like them as much as the fish lips kiss
I like the black and white Michelle! Leslie take the left overs of the blue yarn and make a tassel and put it on the tip of your cowl. Pretty earrings and necklaces. I use hair conditioner when I shave my legs. Less expensive than shaving cream and works just as well. Love your tat, very pretty! I am grateful my children are out of school. I would have stay home and home school if they were still young. My oldest Boston is fixed and the youngest will be fixed just as soon as she hits six months. I do not want puppies. Thanks for sharing with us ladies, have a great week!
Michelle do a Granny Strip Cardi. That would be pretty in those yarns.
Puppies at 8 weeks don't try to nurse , at least my poodle
Leslie: Loved your sweater; blocking comment: maybe go to a dry cleaner you trust because they block items with steam….. NOT pressing. They can up-steam…
LESLIE that tattoo is AMAZING
The black and white alternating looks great and I’d vote to continue. Then if you want more of one of the colors at the end, put a few rows border around the whole thing when done, or alternate the colors by rows.
LOL. Almost had that beautiful basket. Love the yarn. Thank you Ladies!
Keep going with black and white border, adds another depth to blanket. I like your colour block sweater Leslie, wear it with a plain pair of pants.
Michelle keep going with the black and white borders. It gives the squares a dramatic look!
I watched a couple of old episodes recently and seriously laughed out loud during the ‘The Juice is worth the Squeeze’ episode. Omg, so funny!!
Love the black and white. Keep going!
Oh my goodness, you guys made my week!!! I'm so excited to win the yellow basket, it is adorable!! Thank you so very much! 🥰💛
And Michelle please don't toss the crochet cardigan, send it to me and I'll save the yarn lol. It's too pretty!!! If you can find the end you finished with that is how it is easily unraveled, if you're pulling where you started you will never get it undone.
And Leslie, your sweater you are wearing is gorgeous! I absolutely love how it turned out! 💖
I love your sweater,how did you figure the size? Would you make it smaller with it having so much positive ease?
I want to knit socks SO bad, but after watching numerous videos I keep ending up with laddering and just can't seem to get it. I even took a sock class about four years ago, but it was terrible. There were three of us and the teacher seemed distracted … then about an hour in people came in for an overlapping crochet class and then we pretty much lost her attention. That yarn shop ended up closing down about a year later. I still have the pattern she gave us but I just can't get it. All of this to say I want to learn how to make them SO bad! lol Your socks are always so cute … especially the scrappy ones you make. I LOVE them. Do you have any recommendation for tutorials for easy vanilla socks? That is my question for the next Q and A. lol
On a positive note I made a crocheted corner to corner fingering yarn blanket after watching the video you guys recommended and it turned out SOOO good. I absolutely love it and am already pondering another one. And don't give up on your crocheted garment it is so beautiful!!!!
I think the circle blanket looks great with the black and white alternating. They help the colors all pop and you can put each color with whichever background would suite them best. I say keep going just how you're doing it!!
You can lay out the crocheted poncho thing, measure out and pin a pillow form size plus seam allowance, baste your pins, cut , sew pillow cover. Buttons on one side to fasten. Cute!
So how about you lay out all your circles and lay the black &/or white yarn along side to see how it will look? Personally, I find the white sort of boring compared to the black.
I love watching you two! I love the giveaway segment! Nothing ever seems to bother Leslie and Michelle gets all flustered. Thanks for the giggle.
