1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,000 I'm Drea. 2 00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:02,000 I'm Meg. 3 00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:03,000 I'm Tina. 4 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:04,000 And I'm Jess. 5 00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:12,640 And this is Paron My Stash. 6 00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:16,440 Welcome to Pardon My Stash, a podcast about knitting within the fiber arts and how awesome 7 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:17,440 it is. 8 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:18,440 Woo woo! 9 00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:19,440 Thank you. 10 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:20,440 You're welcome. 11 00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:24,240 Before we get into today's topic, let's check out what we're working on this week. 12 00:00:24,240 --> 00:00:25,240 Tina? 13 00:00:25,240 --> 00:00:32,560 I am working on extending the weights of my seed dot beanie. 14 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:42,640 So right now I am doing the super bulky version and I am using Madeleine Tosh ASAP in the 15 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,240 Colorway Wilted. 16 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:54,680 And so I did notice in terms of Madeleine Tosh ASAP, it is marked as a super bulky, 17 00:00:54,680 --> 00:01:00,800 but I'm going to see how this guy blooms because right now I compared just the strand to other 18 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,680 super bulkies that I had in my stash. 19 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:10,800 And like, well, first of all, super bulky in general is just a wide array of sizes. 20 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:15,080 Because if you look at like, if you look at hometown and then you look at Rasta and then 21 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:19,640 you look at, you know, any kind of hand. 22 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:20,800 They're all kind of different. 23 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,560 They're all different. 24 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,320 But I would say this one is probably on the lighter side of a super bulky. 25 00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:31,200 So I'm wondering if when this gets blocked, that this is going to bloom a lot. 26 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:35,840 So I will report back in after I get further on this. 27 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,480 I literally just cast on. 28 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,800 So I'm just getting through the ribbing right now. 29 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,520 So I like the color. 30 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,320 Yeah, it's super pretty. 31 00:01:45,320 --> 00:01:48,440 It's like a it's like a wine stained cream. 32 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,920 Like a dark move. 33 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:51,920 Yeah. 34 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,560 So I really like it. 35 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,720 And it's really nice to touch. 36 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,320 Let me touch it. 37 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:03,280 OK, wait, I'm going to give you the ball because I really haven't knit much. 38 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:04,280 Yeah. 39 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:05,280 It's squishy. 40 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:06,280 He's squishy. 41 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:07,280 Don't choke me. 42 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:08,280 It's on my neck. 43 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:16,280 I'm not wearing my necklace today. 44 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:17,680 Dre was about to take me out. 45 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,680 No, I would never. 46 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,240 Meg. 47 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:28,800 So I need to kind of excuse myself first because I am actually working on three projects right 48 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,880 now. 49 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,200 The thing is that, as we said a couple of weeks ago, I have different projects for different 50 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:35,200 things. 51 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:41,040 The one I've been really burning through right now is the owl, new vocal, but I cannot podcast 52 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:42,040 and do color work. 53 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,240 That's not a thing I can do. 54 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,320 I can barely color work and watch TV. 55 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:48,320 So that's a side. 56 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,640 And I've been knitting the impressionist shawl, but I'm also getting to the lacy portion. 57 00:02:51,640 --> 00:02:54,000 I can't podcast with that anymore. 58 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,000 So that's to the side. 59 00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:00,600 So that brings us to today when I needed a I need another project on the go that's kind 60 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,740 of portable and I need something that I can actually podcast with. 61 00:03:03,740 --> 00:03:11,320 So I am working on a shawl that is called a random act of kindness by Wolf and Fawn 62 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:12,320 Knits. 63 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,520 This is actually a free pattern on Ravelry. 64 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:19,320 It is an asymmetric shawl in DK weight. 65 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:27,520 And I am knitting it out of Madeleine Tosh, Tosh DK in the colorway. 66 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,060 And I know all of you will be shocked after my confession a few weeks ago. 67 00:03:31,060 --> 00:03:32,060 Bird is the word. 68 00:03:32,060 --> 00:03:35,240 Gee, I couldn't see that coming. 69 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:36,880 I can't help it. 70 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,580 I mean, it doesn't hurt that the color is actually really pretty. 71 00:03:39,580 --> 00:03:44,520 It's like a it's like a cream with speckled with like oranges and very dark blues and 72 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:45,520 grays. 73 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:46,520 And I love it. 74 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:47,800 I think it's really pretty. 75 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:53,180 The pattern is is super simple and it's designed to really kind of showcase a speckled yarn. 76 00:03:53,180 --> 00:03:55,680 So far, I'm actually really enjoying it. 77 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,160 It's kind of odd because when I first held it in the skein, it was wound very tightly 78 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:05,960 and I thought, oh, this is going to be like kind of a more durable yarn. 79 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:11,200 And I started knitting it and it's actually extremely pleasantly squishy. 80 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:15,120 Knitting it on US eights, which is kind of a size I like to do decay on. 81 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,600 But I'm really enjoying it so far. 82 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,160 I did not swatch for this project. 83 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:20,160 I know. 84 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:21,160 I know. 85 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:22,280 I just I just hauled off and did it. 86 00:04:22,280 --> 00:04:24,320 I had way more yarn than I need for it. 87 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,780 So I'm like, I'm not going to worry about it. 88 00:04:26,780 --> 00:04:28,520 And it's a shawl. 89 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,840 So as long as I have more yarn than I need, I don't really need to worry about swatching. 90 00:04:32,840 --> 00:04:34,360 I didn't living dangerously. 91 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,640 I didn't swatch for the head either. 92 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,240 You know, I thought of that when you said I'm waiting to see how it blooms. 93 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,480 But I was like, I'm not going to call her out like that on the podcast. 94 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:43,480 That would be mean. 95 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:44,480 That would be mean. 96 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:49,920 What I did was is I'm making the size below that fits me because I have a big head. 97 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:51,840 So I'm making the normal size. 98 00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:53,400 And then if it blooms, it'll fit me. 99 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:54,720 Do you see what we've become? 100 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,240 Do you see what we've become? 101 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,400 I know we were supposed to be like the last line. 102 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:00,400 I've been influenced. 103 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:07,840 And the swatch and both of us were just like, whatever this time, it is what it is. 104 00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:11,480 I'll do a swatch after I measure it after. 105 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,880 Well, kind of, kind of, because then you can. 106 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:14,880 I mean, you kind of have to. 107 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:15,880 Yeah, I have to. 108 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:16,880 I do not. 109 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,360 So but, you know, on a whole, I'm enjoying it. 110 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:24,440 And I'm actually using it on a mini minder that Jess can probably talk about way better 111 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,000 than me because I just started using it tonight. 112 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:33,000 It's like it almost looks like a little top that holds your yarn and it spins the yarn 113 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,160 so it doesn't get tangled. 114 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:35,320 And I am liking it. 115 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:36,800 But again, I haven't used it very much. 116 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:37,920 Jess can. 117 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,200 I was going to ask if you do pull from the outside. 118 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:42,680 I am pulling from the outside. 119 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:47,520 Yeah, you can't pull from the middle because because that's where the stick goes through 120 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:48,720 the middle. 121 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:49,720 No yarn barf. 122 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,320 Oh, zero, zero yarn barf. 123 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:58,000 No, the most that happens is every once in a while, like the yarn will when you stab 124 00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,480 it through, will pull it up. 125 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,560 And all you have to do is kind of loosen it and pull it back out. 126 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:02,560 And it's fine. 127 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:03,560 No, thank you. 128 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,280 It's really I do not like your own barf. 129 00:06:06,280 --> 00:06:14,400 So just I'm making borbs because we're back to the borbs. 130 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:21,760 We're back to the borbs and felting because I did a whole lot of of knit and crochet. 131 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,400 I did a jellyfish. 132 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:27,520 I crocheted a jellyfish and two hats, two color work. 133 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:32,960 I did two color work hats because I was trying to create a new gradient and I had to figure 134 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:33,960 out how that works. 135 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:38,160 So I got two color work hats and I did the color work. 136 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:39,160 Cowl. 137 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:40,160 Cowl. 138 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,920 And I'm still working on the Dej vest. 139 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:48,440 And I'm in that that like the body part and I'm near the end and I thought I was at the 140 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:49,440 end. 141 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:56,400 I was like three inches short and I was like, well, I'm going to felt something now. 142 00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:03,280 We were at her grandparents house for for Memorial Day picnic on Sunday and like she's 143 00:07:03,280 --> 00:07:07,520 sitting there working on it with this face of abject misery as she just does row after 144 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:08,520 row of stockinette. 145 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,680 It's like I've never seen anyone look so torched while they knit. 146 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:19,360 Stockinette and then there's like a beautiful 32 stitches of like cables and then it's stockinette. 147 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:20,360 She did. 148 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:24,040 She looked quite miserable. 149 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,080 So I'm taking a break from that again on and off. 150 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:31,880 I mean, I still work on it, but I wanted to work on birds and I made a parrot and a crow 151 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,000 and a jambu fruit dove. 152 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:39,040 And now I'm doing a dragon because reasons. 153 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:40,040 And oh, and I'm working. 154 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:46,360 I am working on the the felting studio has like these cool like medieval esque kits. 155 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:47,840 So I'm doing a chickadee. 156 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:48,840 Nice. 157 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:49,840 I'm doing that too. 158 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:51,440 Yeah, that's almost done, isn't it? 159 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,760 Yeah, I've got like leaves. 160 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:57,800 So I'm making bores. 161 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:05,680 Drea, I am still working on the arachnishawl by Claire Slade slash very lenient there. 162 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:12,280 It is I finished the body of the spider, the second spider. 163 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:16,000 Unfortunately, I've come to the end of another row and my stitches don't line up. 164 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,000 Oh, no. 165 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:24,520 You know, I have to say, like if you just it feels like if you take just a slight attention 166 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:29,840 away from it, all of a sudden, it just it's like, oh, and I say that. 167 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,160 And that's why I don't bring that anymore with me to the podcasting, because I feel 168 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:39,760 like as soon as I I could feel so confident about what I'm doing, it's just like, nope. 169 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,720 Well, I was having a lot of like good days back to back. 170 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,600 And over like three days, I did most of this second spider. 171 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:48,600 Yeah. 172 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:53,120 And then I got to the end of this row and I was supposed to have like a certain number 173 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:58,880 of stitches left over before I do the knit front and back, knit one. 174 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:04,160 And then it wasn't there by one stitch. 175 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:09,240 And I don't know if it's that I didn't do the knit front and back in the previous row. 176 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,200 Yeah, I've done that before. 177 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:16,280 And I actually will ladder down and just do the knit front and back and then go back up 178 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:22,320 instead of redo because the rows are getting so long that I don't want to redo the entire 179 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,440 or two rows because you have to go back twice to get back. 180 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,400 So yeah. 181 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,760 So I don't know what I'm going to do with it. 182 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:35,000 I'm waiting for another good day because I've had a lot of bad days over the past couple 183 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,080 weeks and my skin is still like super sensitive. 184 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:43,840 So I'm really not I really haven't done any knitting in several weeks now, which is a 185 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:49,920 bum, but I'm hoping to like power through it in the next coming weeks because I do want 186 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:54,120 to finish this project before the make along concludes. 187 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,500 And I think I can do it because I've had a good like couple of days. 188 00:09:57,500 --> 00:10:01,440 My skin still like super sensitive, but like my head is clear. 189 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:07,960 So I know I'm I'm on the road to like getting back together. 190 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:09,480 I'll applaud that. 191 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:14,000 It's not fun. 192 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:20,760 If you are interested in Madeleine Tosh yarn or the mini minder, head on over to JimmyBeansWool.com 193 00:10:20,760 -->

crafters 197 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:51,840 do not have and may possibly think that we are weird for doing. 198 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:53,300 Just possibly. 199 00:10:53,300 --> 00:10:58,880 I thought you had to be weird as a prerequisite to get into crafting. 200 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,000 That is extremely true. 201 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,760 I have no idea who listens to our podcast. 202 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:11,040 I mean, I know that it's mostly crafters and all that, but I feel like there are some people 203 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,880 out there that think that crafters are just like regular people with hobbies. 204 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:16,920 No, no, no, no. 205 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,200 The eccentric go to the craft. 206 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:24,240 Yeah, there's

00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:28,940 And I don't know about you, but I'm going, um, you know, what kind of gauge is this? 257 00:13:28,940 --> 00:13:30,740 Can I do this myself? 258 00:13:30,740 --> 00:13:32,920 What is the stitch count on this? 259 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,000 Uh, and what is this made out of? 260 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:40,800 And I know that the last one, I can always look at the tag, but I never do. 261 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:41,800 Nope. 262 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:42,800 Nope. 263 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,400 I'm going to use my nice hand and feel it out. 264 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:46,400 Just feel it out. 265 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,400 Am I sensing a touch of kind of near? 266 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,400 Like when I'm like, can I do this color work pattern? 267 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,400 Can I think, can I graph this? 268 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,160 Can I sneak a quick picture? 269 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,280 So I find it on the line. 270 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:05,360 So in, in the, in the line of making it weird, um, one of my coworkers has this absolutely 271 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:09,320 gorgeous sweater that she wears pretty often in the winter. 272 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:13,680 And it's like this, this Heather gray, not other gray, Heather green sweater, but it 273 00:14:13,680 --> 00:14:19,560 has this gorgeous lace, um, pattern like panel going down the front of it. 274 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:24,880 And every single time I see it, I'm like, how weird would it be for me to ask her? 275 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:30,200 Can I just like take a picture of your, of your sweater? 276 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:31,200 Just the front. 277 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:32,360 I don't need your head or anything. 278 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:33,360 I just need this. 279 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,120 So I can, I don't want your face. 280 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:39,320 So I can, I can like figure out how to do, I'm like, I bet you I can figure that out. 281 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:40,320 Does that make it more weird or less weird? 282 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:41,320 No, it's weird. 283 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:42,320 It's all weird. 284 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,280 And I haven't, I have never asked. 285 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:48,720 Um, but I look at it all the time and I'm like, oh my God, I would love to make that. 286 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:54,800 And I feel, and it doesn't look super complicated, but I can figure it out. 287 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:56,360 You know what I'm going to do instead though? 288 00:14:56,360 --> 00:15:00,640 I'm going to look in, uh, the stitch Bibles that I have and try to find something similar 289 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,400 and then just replicate it. 290 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:06,040 So I'm not weird because I don't want to be weird. 291 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,040 This is when she listens to the podcast. 292 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:09,040 I guarantee you. 293 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:13,640 And then she just comes up to me like, Meg, it's okay. 294 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:14,640 You're not weird. 295 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:15,640 Just take the picture. 296 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:16,640 None of my coworkers. 297 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:17,640 It makes me sad. 298 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:18,640 It saddens me. 299 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:22,640 I wish they did, but they don't not anymore. 300 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:28,320 Jess, well, I just stabbed myself. 301 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:29,640 I wasn't paying attention. 302 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,120 I moved my needle. 303 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:36,600 If anybody is wondering, um, cause I can hear it. 304 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,480 Um, Jess is felting right now. 305 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:39,480 Yeah. 306 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:44,640 So if you're in like that's me stabbing the hell out of this ball and apparently her fingers 307 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:49,400 and my finger, because I didn't realize how thin I had the tail of this thing yet. 308 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:55,320 But no, like I said, my, my biggest thing, it really is like, I look at, um, color work 309 00:15:55,320 --> 00:16:01,720 kind of things or I'll look at things to be like, can I, like, can I do an eight bit like 310 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,520 Nintendo game and then make a color work thing out of it? 311 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,920 And I probably could, but that'd be too many colors. 312 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:11,200 And I too color that and then I never do because I don't have the patience to sit down and 313 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:12,200 do it. 314 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:13,200 Like I've gotten stuff started, but I do. 315 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:17,600 I like, I that's, have you ever like stood there too long in the store trying to figure 316 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:18,600 that out? 317 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:19,600 Probably. 318 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:24,800 But I mean, to be fair, a lot of those things for that is like, um, the nerd stores or everyone's 319 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:26,100 a little awkward anyway. 320 00:16:26,100 --> 00:16:29,520 So I feel like they're like, yeah, just give these people their space. 321 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,880 Like let them admire that Zelda shirt. 322 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:32,880 They don't know. 323 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:37,080 Am I right with a thousand yards stare? 324 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:38,240 You're not even looking at it. 325 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:39,240 You're looking past it. 326 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,720 At that point, I'm not even thinking about like the thing I'm originally thinking about 327 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,240 and like five projects. 328 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:51,520 But yeah, there is that there's, oh God, like Christmases when it's the ugly sweater season, 329 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:57,160 you ever like look at those and think I could do this, but would it be worth the time? 330 00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,080 No, I'm both counts. 331 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:01,080 Really? 332 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:02,960 I'm not going to look at that and know it would not be worth it to me. 333 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,320 But I haven't found a Jurassic park, ugly sweater that I liked yet. 334 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:10,280 If it's not a fake print, you know, a lot of fake print now. 335 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:11,280 Yeah. 336 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,280 I'm wearing one right now. 337 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:14,280 Kind of. 338 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:15,280 She is. 339 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:16,280 Yeah. 340 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,880 But the, but if it's not like a scream print or something like that, then no, Jess, I, 341 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:26,000 I can admit that I will sit there and be like, I don't know if that's worth my time. 342 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:32,360 I have a lot of Seahawks ugly Christmas sweaters. 343 00:17:32,360 --> 00:17:39,560 I have a ridiculous amount of number ugly Seahawks. 344 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:45,640 I have more than what I need, but never once have I sat there and said, I should do this 345 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,340 myself. 346 00:17:48,340 --> 00:17:49,840 Never once. 347 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:51,440 I feel like that is so much work. 348 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,120 I feel like that is so much effort. 349 00:17:53,120 --> 00:17:56,480 And they are like machine knit and they're like actual color work. 350 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:57,480 Oh yeah. 351 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,560 No, that's a lot of them are. 352 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:04,720 But what if there was one that you wanted, but they didn't make, that's what I mean. 353 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:08,120 See, I feel that way about like a Devo sweater. 354 00:18:08,120 --> 00:18:10,520 Like I would really enjoy it. 355 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:19,200 So I have an action green holiday sweater and it's a color work sweater with Richard 356 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:20,200 Truman's face. 357 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:21,200 Yes. 358 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:30,240 Which I love and I adore, but I am also readily admitting that it is quite scary to look at. 359 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:31,240 Oh yes. 360 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,480 I've got one with Andrew Luck in his same thing. 361 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:38,840 You know, you're like, Whoa, yeah, the color work doesn't really do them a favor. 362 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:43,880 It really doesn't like, like, you know, they tried, but it's not good. 363 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:44,960 I love that sweater. 364 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:46,960 I wear it at home. 365 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:47,960 Yeah. 366 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:51,960 Fairly speaking, Sherman is not on that team anymore. 367 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:53,720 He's not on that team anymore. 368 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,320 Also true, but still. 369 00:18:55,320 --> 00:19:00,000 I have one that I'm kind of embarrassed to admit because I know that it makes people 370 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:01,760 probably not like me. 371 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:05,880 Just so you know, as soon as you say this, friends off. 372 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:06,880 Okay, good. 373 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:07,880 Good to know. 374 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:14,000 So when people who are not crafters are talking and are talking, start talking about crafting 375 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:18,400 in casual conversation and say the wrong thing, I have to correct it. 376 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,280 Oh, no, we can still be friends. 377 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:21,280 I know that too. 378 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:25,480 No, because like, um, they were like, yeah, you know that, that, I don't know, like they'll 379 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:31,680 be talking about, um, yeah, I would really, I would really love a, uh, crocheted baby 380 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,680 blanket and the thing that they're looking at is definitely knit. 381 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:36,160 And I'm like, Oh no, that's knit. 382 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,200 And they're looking, okay, knit, whatever. 383 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:42,080 And then they just like get annoyed at me and I'm like, it's not whatever. 384 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:43,520 Knit and crochet are two different things. 385 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:44,520 It's true though. 386 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,200 And it bothers me. 387 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:48,200 It's true. 388 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:58,120 Like, um, Frank's friends, um, they have this beautiful transformers blanket that somebody 389 00:19:58,120 --> 00:20:01,560 made for them and it's beautiful. 390 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,960 It's like, it's a work of art. 391 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:08,520 Like whoever made that for them did a really good job. 392 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:14,320 And every time I'm over there and they see me knitting, um, the blanket has to come out 393 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:15,320 for one. 394 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:19,800 Like we've already gone through this, but it's okay. 395 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:23,600 And they always go and so, and so knit this for us. 396 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,360 And it was just so kind of them. 397 00:20:25,360 --> 00:20:28,000 And I'm like, yeah, they crocheted that for you. 398 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:29,080 No, no, no. 399 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:30,640 They knit this for me. 400 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,240 No, no. 401 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:37,000 That was done with a hook, my friend. 402 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:38,760 I would say that they crafted it for you. 403 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:39,760 Let's agree to disagree. 404 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:40,760 They handmade it. 405 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:44,080 No, I don't know if you guys remember this. 406 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:45,560 This was a long, long time ago. 407 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:49,880 I think I was either middle school or high school. 408 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:55,200 Um, but there were, there were these commercials by quilted Northern. 409 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:56,200 Oh my God. 410 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:57,200 Yes. 411 00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:01,120 And they were like quilting the toilet paper, but they were using knitting needles. 412 00:21:01,120 --> 00:21:02,120 Yeah. 413 00:21:02,120 --> 00:21:04,160 My mother, a quilter got so irate. 414 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:10,160 Like, I mean, I rate at this commercial, like she really got mad. 415 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,640 She's like, you don't quilt with knitting needles. 416 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:13,640 Who did this? 417 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,920 And then like a few months later they changed it and the little old ladies were like sewing 418 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:18,560 the toilet paper instead. 419 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:22,560 And she was like, okay, somebody called me. 420 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:27,800 Not somebody, many somebody, many, many, somebody has called in and complained, but I remember 421 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:29,920 she was so mad about it. 422 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:30,920 And like, I get that. 423 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:31,920 Do you guys remember? 424 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:32,920 It's obnoxious. 425 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:33,920 Was it Liberty mutual? 426 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:34,920 Yes. 427 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:35,920 Were that was interesting. 428 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:41,000 Cause they had the finished crocheted projects and the guy was knitting a currently correct 429 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:42,000 knitted project. 430 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:47,560 And I'm like, why didn't you just follow through with one or the other? 431 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,160 They came so close. 432 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,400 Like the guy is actually knitting. 433 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:53,400 Yes. 434 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:57,040 But the projects are actually, what is happening? 435 00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:58,040 That is what happened. 436 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,440 I was so confused. 437 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,840 When that commercial came out, I was like, huh? 438 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:03,960 I'm getting in a mess. 439 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:05,640 Cause like you at first you're excited. 440 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:11,800 You're like, all right, he's doing a great, he's going to pull out some of the, Oh, and 441 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:16,600 they're like, wait, you know, maybe he was just like branching out, but they make it 442 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,360 seem like it was all the same. 443 00:22:19,360 --> 00:22:21,400 It just feels like spreading misinformation. 444 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:27,080 We're just trying to get the truth out. 445 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,400 I think all crafters do that though. 446 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:30,400 Oh yeah. 447 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:31,400 Yeah. 448 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:32,400 Yeah. 449 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:33,400 I think everybody will. 450 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:37,920 Any hobbyist in general, I think really, if you think about it is probably pushing the 451 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:39,440 glasses up on the nose. 452 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:47,460 Like, well, actually the other thing too, is that both knitters and crocheters tend to 453 00:22:47,460 --> 00:22:51,080 think that their hobby is the easier. 454 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:52,080 Yes. 455 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:53,160 Of the two. 456 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:54,760 Like a knitter will say, I could never crochet. 457 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:55,760 It's too hard. 458 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,840 And crocheters are like, Oh my God, like knitting is the hard one. 459 00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:59,280 Like what are you talking about? 460 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:03,000 We all tend to think that the one that we do is the easier one. 461 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:04,000 I've heard that. 462 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:08,160 And I have always been of the mind that crochet is easier than knitting. 463 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:09,160 Jess. 464 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,440 It depends on what you're doing. 465 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:17,440 Crochet goes faster in most cases because a lot of times you can double or triple up 466 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:18,440 your stitches. 467 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:23,120 But if you do that, then you don't really have, like you have more openings and whatnot. 468 00:23:23,120 --> 00:23:26,360 So garment wise, you can't really do that as often. 469 00:23:26,360 --> 00:23:29,520 Knips are easier with crochet. 470 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:37,520 But there are a lot of things like color work, absolutely a pain with crochet. 471 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,640 I can't even imagine crocheted color work. 472 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:40,640 It's a pain. 473 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:44,320 And if you don't carry the yarn right, there's like obvious and sounds and that sounds like 474 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,160 a huge nope to me. 475 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:51,440 So it depends on what you're doing and what your project is. 476 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:55,720 I also think that it's a case of whatever you learn first. 477 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:59,280 Yeah, is the one that will be easier for you. 478 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:00,280 Hmm. 479 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:05,480 Because, I mean, whatever you're learning first, you're obviously putting in more time. 480 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:10,440 You know, we've all of us at this table, I mean, minus Jess, I mean, we've put in over 481 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:14,000 a decade to knitting. 482 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:18,040 You know, of course, crochet is going to be hard. 483 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:19,040 We're used to knitting. 484 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:23,760 I was just thinking, I'm like, oh my God, I literally two decades at this point. 485 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:24,760 Yeah. 486 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:25,760 I've been knitting for decades. 487 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:30,920 I've been knitting and I've been crocheting for, if you think about it, maybe maybe four 488 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,800 weeks out of it. 489 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:35,240 And it's really hard. 490 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:36,240 It's hard. 491 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:37,240 I'm not. 492 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:38,240 No, absolutely not. 493 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:39,240 I am. 494 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,080 I am starting to. 495 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:46,240 There's a lot of machine knitting projects that are a benefit from a crochet finish. 496 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:47,240 Yeah. 497 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:53,880 And so I've been haphazardly trying to crochet and I think I have the gist of it, but my 498 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:59,200 technique is very poor and I have also really poor tension. 499 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:04,200 So I am trying to like figure that out right now, but I feel like, um, I feel like I have 500 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:07,240 like gum in my hands and I don't know what I'm doing. 501 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:12,640 Um, I feel like we also tend to forget like how bad we were when we started and how hard 502 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:16,520 it was when we started and how we felt like we had like three hands at once when we were 503 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:20,760 trying to knit and everything was difficult and our tension was lousy and everything we 504 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:24,800 knit came out like garbage because we're so far removed from that now. 505 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,040 We're like, it's easy now. 506 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:31,000 Of course it is because we've had all the years to develop the muscle memory. 507 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:37,280 So another thing that I do often is when I see a good bag, I go, Oh, that's a good bag 508 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:38,280 for knitting. 509 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,400 Oh, that's a good project bag. 510 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:45,200 Oh, it could literally be, it could literally be anything. 511 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:50,160 It could be, it could be like a little zip pocket from an Amazon order and I'm like, 512 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:51,360 Oh, that's a good project bag. 513 00:25:51,360 --> 00:25:54,280 And then I like make a stack of them and I'm like, why? 514 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:55,880 I don't, I don't need this. 515 00:25:55,880 --> 00:26:01,160 No, the Amazon pouches are becoming a problem for me because like when I order clothes from 516 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:07,160 Amazon now, they send it in the zippy pouches and every time I get a new zippy pouch, I'm 517 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,120 like, Oh, I can store a project in here. 518 00:26:09,120 --> 00:26:11,880 Do you know how many zippy pouches I have? 519 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,880 You only knit one thing at a time. 520 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:17,680 I don't use them as project bags. 521 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,880 I use them as project holders, like finished timeouts. 522 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,900 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, finished. 523 00:26:23,900 --> 00:26:24,900 Yeah. 524 00:26:24,900 --> 00:26:25,900 I got you. 525 00:26:25,900 --> 00:26:26,900 Like storage bags. 526 00:26:26,900 --> 00:26:27,900 Oh, well that's a good thing though. 527 00:26:27,900 --> 00:26:30,400 Like, yeah, there's nothing wrong with that. 528 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:31,800 Keep accumulating those. 529 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:33,340 I have so many. 530 00:26:33,340 --> 00:26:35,600 Oh, that's a really good idea. 531 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:42,640 I always just kind of had a pile of finished objects that move around my craft room and 532 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,200 I don't know what to do with them. 533 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:45,200 No. 534 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,680 I don't know if we're keeping dust and moths. 535 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:52,840 That's why I started doing it because I was like, this will help preserve stuff and I 536 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:56,360 won't have to worry about it like getting out or, you know, fading. 537 00:26:56,360 --> 00:27:02,240 Like I saved the ones that are like opaque, the ones that you can't see through. 538 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,920 So you know what other ones are really good curtain bags. 539 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:06,920 Yeah. 540 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:07,920 Those are a plus. 541 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:08,920 Those are nice. 542 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,120 Those are like the granddaddy of the zip plastic bags. 543 00:27:11,120 --> 00:27:12,120 I'm telling you right now. 544 00:27:12,120 --> 00:27:18,360 I have saved a few of those to put large quantities of the same yarn in like sweater quantities. 545 00:27:18,360 --> 00:27:19,360 Oh yeah. 546 00:27:19,360 --> 00:27:20,360 Yeah. 547 00:27:20,360 --> 00:27:21,360 To save like for a project or something. 548 00:27:21,360 --> 00:27:22,360 Yeah. 549 00:27:22,360 --> 00:27:23,360 I don't know what I'm going to do with it. 550 00:27:23,360 --> 00:27:27,200 I mean, eventually one day, but at least they're all together. 551 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,480 They're family. 552 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,440 I have gone from that's a good box. 553 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:37,920 I can't throw that away to that's a nice bag. 554 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:38,920 Gotta keep that. 555 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:46,160 So ever since I've been doing yarn saver and selling the secondhand yarn, I literally have 556 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:53,340 a stack of used boxes in the doorway of my craft room because I do go through them. 557 00:27:53,340 --> 00:27:58,080 They do go like the it dwindles, but sometimes they like, I don't have a couple orders for 558 00:27:58,080 --> 00:27:59,080 a little bit. 559 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:03,700 And then I like order some Amazon stuff, but just like right now the stack is pretty high. 560 00:28:03,700 --> 00:28:08,320 So I'm just like, but yeah, I definitely, I yeah, I have a stack of and, and it's not 561 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:09,320 all Amazon boxes. 562 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:10,680 It's just any kind of box that I get. 563 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:14,360 And I'm like, oh, this, this could be a good box for shipping. 564 00:28:14,360 --> 00:28:20,240 And I'm like, yeah, cause it's like, I bought, I've looked at, and I, and I have purchased 565 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:27,000 boxes to ship, but it's so expensive and like, oh yeah, you've got these perfectly decent 566 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,120 boxes just coming in from your own orders. 567 00:28:29,120 --> 00:28:31,600 It's like, it's a secondhand yarn store. 568 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:33,600 So secondhand box. 569 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:34,840 There you go. 570 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:41,520 So we actually just got a shipment of, of base yarn and it came in a secondhand box 571 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:45,160 that the distributor used to ship it to us. 572 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:46,160 You know what? 573 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:47,160 Feel validated. 574 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:53,040 If the big, big companies are doing it, like, listen, it's just, it's, it's good for the 575 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:54,040 environment. 576 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:55,040 Right. 577 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:56,040 Right. 578 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:57,040 You're using the boxes. 579 00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:58,920 I have another one. 580 00:28:58,920 --> 00:28:59,920 Go on. 581 00:28:59,920 --> 00:29:00,920 This kind of judgey. 582 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:01,920 I don't know if people do this. 583 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:02,920 I do this. 584 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:03,920 I'm ready. 585 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,520 I have so many little stitch marker holders. 586 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:07,520 Yes. 587 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:08,520 I never put them back. 588 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:09,520 Nope. 589 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:14,000 They float around in the bottom of my project bags. 590 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:18,580 They float around in my notions cases. 591 00:29:18,580 --> 00:29:19,960 They never end up back. 592 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:23,520 And then I curse and I can't find them and I get mad at myself. 593 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,320 That's why I go through stitch markers so much. 594 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:27,640 When you say the whole, I'm sorry. 595 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,880 When you say the holders, you mean the case to hold the, yeah, I have like, I have the 596 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,840 one of those little like, I think it's like a pill minder box. 597 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:34,840 Yeah. 598 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:36,480 Um, they're supposed to go in that. 599 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:37,480 Do they go in that? 600 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:38,480 No, they don't know. 601 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:40,040 They, they just go everywhere. 602 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:41,040 They go to the ether. 603 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:42,040 They go into the ether. 604 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:43,040 Yeah. 605 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:44,040 And, uh, yeah. 606 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:49,760 And I get really mad, especially when they're my nice ones, but yeah, just, you have a stitch 607 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:50,760 marker. 608 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:51,760 I do that so much. 609 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:57,640 You know how many times I'm out with like so bad Frank and his friends and I'm like, 610 00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:59,600 did you see where I put this little thing down? 611 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:00,600 Yeah. 612 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:01,960 It's, it's just like a little circle. 613 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,160 It's just a thing. 614 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:08,640 It looks like they might have a bird attached to it or a piece of cheese or something or 615 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:09,640 something. 616 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:10,640 Yeah. 617 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:11,640 Pineapple. 618 00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:12,880 And then you resort to being like, do you have a twist tie in your house? 619 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,240 Can I use a twist tie please? 620 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:19,360 And, and you're like, I have 7,000 stitch markers somewhere, but I can get an entire 621 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,120 group of people on the floor looking for my stitch marker. 622 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:23,600 If I ask nice enough. 623 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,520 No, that's why I have children. 624 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:27,520 Also fair. 625 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:28,520 These are all adults. 626 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,760 No, no, I, I've definitely like. 627 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:32,760 Easier with kids. 628 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:36,160 I have used your kids to look for stitch markers underneath your sofa. 629 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:37,160 Okay. 630 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:41,320 My recliner sofa is notorious for eating things because it has a space when you, especially 631 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:45,720 when you recline it and the amount of things you find when you lift up couch cushions though, 632 00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:51,160 you're like, Oh, there's a whole like a circular needle set down here. 633 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:54,960 Well, you're recliners though. 634 00:30:54,960 --> 00:31:03,720 Like in the back where, where the back meets the, the, the cushion, like the back meets 635 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,480 the seat, there's that a pocket. 636 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:07,480 Yes. 637 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:08,480 And it holds. 638 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:09,480 Yeah. 639 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:10,480 Everything. 640 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:11,480 It's a fun surprise. 641 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,200 I found a crochet hook. 642 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:17,520 I thought was like gone into the ether because I was cleaning out the couch and I was like, 643 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:18,520 Oh my crochet hooks. 644 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:19,520 I found them. 645 00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:20,520 God. 646 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:26,360 You know, I would be better about when you're talking about the stitch marker holders, I 647 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:30,920 feel like I would be better about, um, even just the project bags like that, but I tend 648 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:34,440 to put, um, the project bags are all over the place. 649 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:39,400 And then I have a drawer in my craft room where the project bags are supposed to live. 650 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,920 And then I'm like, I have so many project bags, but then when I open it, all I see are 651 00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,480 the zipper, like secondhand project bags. 652 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:46,960 And I'm like, no, no, I have nice ones. 653 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:47,960 Where are the nice ones? 654 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:52,760 And I'm like, and I have to like go through, you know, I have hooks that are holding current 655 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:53,760 projects. 656 00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:54,760 Some of them are empty. 657 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,560 Then I have like random empty bags on the craft table. 658 00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:01,480 And then there's like some by the, you know, the craft seating area by the window and then 659 00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:02,480 there's some in the living room. 660 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,240 It's just the bags are everywhere. 661 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,840 You know, we focus a lot on like hoarding yarn. 662 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:12,160 Maybe we should just talk about hoarding anything that's possibly related to the craft because 663 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:13,960 apparently we all do. 664 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:21,040 I haven't used this in 12 years, but what if when I throw it out, I need it? 665 00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:22,040 Yeah. 666 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:23,040 Like it's so hard. 667 00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:29,520 I might need this exact yarn that's been discontinued for like 15 years and I only have like 20 668 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:30,520 yards of it. 669 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:31,520 Yeah. 670 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:34,000 But I might use it for an embellishment or something. 671 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:35,000 You never know. 672 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:36,000 I know. 673 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:37,000 I know. 674 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:41,880 I can't tell you how many times like I put a yarn up on yarn saver and then I want to 675 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:45,520 take it back down because I'm like, wait, what if I need it for this? 676 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:46,520 Right, right. 677 00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:50,800 No, I don't have a problem with leaving my bags all over the place. 678 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:55,000 Like I always know where all my bags are because I have one that is out and one and all of 679 00:32:55,000 --> 00:33:00,720 them are in the bin because I'm only using one. 680 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:04,600 But my problem is that I don't put the needles back. 681 00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:05,600 Oh yeah. 682 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:06,600 Oh my God. 683 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:11,120 I finished my project and the needles just stay in the bag. 684 00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:15,480 Like the bag goes where the bag is supposed to go, but nothing else does. 685 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,600 Do you know when I was looking for a stitch marker for Tina at the beginning of this episode, 686 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:27,520 I opened up my notions bag and I must have eight sets of interchangeable circular needles 687 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:28,520 in that bag. 688 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:29,520 Yeah. 689 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:31,520 We have a folder for them. 690 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:32,520 We do. 691 00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:34,560 We have an organizational system. 692 00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:35,560 Doesn't matter. 693 00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:36,600 This is my notions bag. 694 00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:38,360 And it's full of needles, right? 695 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:39,360 That sounds so bad. 696 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,360 It's full of needles. 697 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:42,360 Oh no. 698 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:47,360 Tray and just rolled out like a whole bunch. 699 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:53,280 See, I never put the cords in there. 700 00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:54,840 At least you have the cords. 701 00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,120 I have the needles and then I can't find the cords. 702 00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:00,840 And then I ended up buying more cords on Amazon and there are probably cords all over this. 703 00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:02,660 This is so bad. 704 00:34:02,660 --> 00:34:03,660 This is so bad. 705 00:34:03,660 --> 00:34:06,560 Like I'm finding things out about myself that I probably already knew. 706 00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:08,560 There's part of a circular. 707 00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:09,560 Yeah. 708 00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:10,560 Yeah. 709 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:11,560 Nope. 710 00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:12,560 Here's the other one. 711 00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:18,360 Guys, I don't, I don't, I don't even know what to say at this point. 712 00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:22,400 I just like pull out a fistful of circular needles. 713 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:23,400 Yep. 714 00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:25,800 Listen, whole bunch of needles. 715 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:29,360 You never know when you'll need them in that notions bag. 716 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:32,360 I also have a tendency of putting bags in bags and bags. 717 00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:35,520 If you've listened to prior episodes, you know that I take like seven whips with me 718 00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:36,960 typically when I go out. 719 00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:39,360 I am actually, okay. 720 00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:45,560 But like you can all attest today I have a, a, um, what's it called? 721 00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:46,640 It's a very small bag. 722 00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:48,240 A very tiny little satchel. 723 00:34:48,240 --> 00:34:49,640 It looks more like a clutch. 724 00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:50,640 A clutch. 725 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:51,640 Yeah. 726 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:52,680 It's like my wallet essentially. 727 00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,800 And then I have one project bag with me. 728 00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:55,800 I feel naked. 729 00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:56,800 It's just like really impressive. 730 00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:57,800 I feel absolutely naked. 731 00:34:57,800 --> 00:34:58,800 I was shocked. 732 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,360 She walked through the door and I was like, Oh, traveling light today. 733 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:06,640 But anyways, normally I have a giant bag. 734 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:11,200 I have smaller ones and sometimes the bigger ones will have space inside their bags because 735 00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:12,960 I haven't fully made the project yet. 736 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,360 So then I stuff all the smaller ones in the big one. 737 00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:18,800 And then I, then I take that and I put it in a tote bag. 738 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:24,080 And then sometimes I move stuff around and then suddenly I don't know which bag is in 739 00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:27,320 which tote or larger project bag. 740 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:31,280 And then if I finish a project and then I put it inside another project bag because 741 00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:35,160 it's finished and empty now and I'm not home yet. 742 00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:39,000 It just, every so often I have to go to my craft room. 743 00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:43,840 I have to open up all of my bags and find all of the things that have been
