Knit Knacks - Gloves and Christmas Stockings

[nic0lekA]

how did you learn how to knit? because i don't know anyone that knits. only crochets. and crochet is easy, but knitting is WAY cleaner. unfortunately its difficult for me to learn how to knit besides just "knit" and "purl". and i've been dying to make those mittens for MONTHS, but cannot for the life of me do it haha

@qwertyuiops12345678 So far it is! I'm hoping to post another this week to update the progress on a baby blanket I haven't touched since November. Crossing my fingers I can get to that soon :)

[sbgurl82]

[suzyquzy]

Love the stockings. The fingerless gloves turned out really nice.

[jennlikesyarn]

@suzyquzy Thanks :D Although I can't wait until I can knit whatever I want to again... a week from never... :P

[amber6675]

The stockings look great! I can't wait to start mine. :D

[jennlikesyarn]

@amber6675 You'll have so much fun with them. They're so easy but look like you spent days on them. And they look great hung up, too!

[byamandacari]

Can't wait until I'm able to knit as fast and as many items as you can at one time. I am very much a monogamous crafter right now

[jennlikesyarn]

@byamandacari It comes and it goes! I've just been really excited to knit and crochet since I finally have time to do so. I'm sure it'll all become slow-going again once classes start in January. Wah.

[byamandacari]

@jennlikesyarn Please don't remind me about classes starting back up in Jan. I have a hard time working in my crafting time with school work too.

[sewfuntosew11]

Good job! The gloves are great, My favorite part of making socks is making the heel & turning it!

[jennlikesyarn]

@sewfuntosew11 You are a martyr, my friend! lol. I think once I get the hang of it, it won't be so bad. It was trying to figure out the math for myself... it made me angry!

[sbgurl82]

love the idea behind these videos. heres a suggestion to make ur gift more then just the stockings. if u do choose to do it one per family then u coudl buy little items and fill the stockings including something small for each person in the family even family pets. just an idea i thought i should throw out there

[jennlikesyarn]

@sbgurl82 Great idea! Everyone in my family has at least one pet, so it can be all their goodies :D

[spiceness]

Knit knacks love it! Love how the gloves came out

[jennlikesyarn]

@spiceness Thank you!

[MsKathy07]

Hi, I just discovered and subscribed to your channel, this was a great vlog post. I hope you get everything done that you wanted to by x-mas! I did that one year with quilts, one for each cousin, phew, that was stressful. The gloves came out great, and loved the stockings!

[jennlikesyarn]

@MsKathy07 Ouch! That DOES sound stressful - so you know where I'm coming from, lol. Never again! Thanks for subbing :D Hope to see you around!

[MzCrochetDreams]

Wow! Way to go in the stockings. I have to admit, I was a little concerned with you getting them finished, thank God for a thinking husband! The fingerless mitts came out great.

[jennlikesyarn]

@MzCrochetDreams He's a genius :) Thank you! And I'm still worried about finishing them, but at least it's just one more and not 15!

[1975ccoleman]

Love the name, and you always do an amazing job:)

[jennlikesyarn]

@1975ccoleman Thank you :D

[pjb31apb]

You did a great job! You are a great designer and you are whipping those stockings out so quick it is amazing!

[jennlikesyarn]

@pjb31apb Thank you :D I'm surprised at how fast I'm making them myself... I guess I don't have an excuse anymore for not getting things done :P

[SmellyButton82]

LOVE those gloves! Oh how I wish I could knit. I just can't get the hang of it. :/

[jennlikesyarn]

@SmellyButton82 Thanks :D  And keep trying! I promise that one day, it just clicks. Totally a cliche saying, I know.

[mamabear10]

Those gloves ROCK!

[jennlikesyarn]

@mamabear10 Thanks! I was surprisingly happy with them :D

[beautifulbutterfly82]

[jennlikesyarn]

@beautifulbutterfly82 Thank you!

[onevirtuouswoman]

Love the name! Those gloves, Great knitted items Jenni!

[jennlikesyarn]

@onevirtuouswoman Thank you! So glad they're done, haha.

[OohToBeFree]

Love the name of your new segment!

[jennlikesyarn]

@OohToBeFree Thanks :D

[adriennebdesign]

I like the name.. knit knacks..cute: ) question for you.. do you find that you knit faster or crochet faster? you did amazing job. also, could you do a video on how you figure out your pattern using math...I would love to learn more on how to do it

[jennlikesyarn]

@adriennebdesign I definitely crochet faster, but I can knit pretty quickly if the pattern is easy and in the round. So the stockings haven't been too bad for me. I will totally try to post a video about figuring out math. A lot of it is "fudging" the pattern to work, but I try to at least work out SOME math first so I can at least see where I went wrong :D

[askmisscris]

everything looks really good. Great job on doing the stocking in the round. You have me beat tho - I've only done 1 short row heel hehehe

[jennlikesyarn]

@askmisscris I hate them! Haha. I've tried doing two before this and messed up both times. But now that I did the research myself, I feel more confident about them. We'll see what happens on the next stocking, lol. Maybe everything I show will start to be socks!

[yayascreativecorner]

I love your knitted items. Will you be doing knitting tutorials in the future?

[jennlikesyarn]

@yayascreativecorner Definitely! I'm getting a new camera for Christmas that should take much better quality video than both my digital camera and webcam, so I plan to start filming some in the new year. I have a video up for requests if you're interested! :D

[CraftDknits]

Love this!

[jennlikesyarn]

@CraftDknits Thanks :D

[spanky3610]

Love, Love, Love Knit Knacks. Those gloves you knit are fabulous and the stockings are great. Your husband is a genius - I ditto his idea of 1 stocking per family. Have a great Christmas and beware of grouchy holiday shoppers. LOL

[jennlikesyarn]

@spanky3610 He's great, isn't he? lol. I have to remember and thank him for the idea since it will save me hours of crying. Have a great Christmas, too!
