Lovely video, so relaxing and a very realistic view of parenthood. I have 3 kids age 2, 4 & 6 and am a stay at home mom so my knitting time is almost completely determined by their life phases, some weeks I get almost no knitting in, others I can knit several hours a day. Quiet hours are quite the treat during the day!

Exactly this! Can relate so much

Lovely video. Remember that quiet time to yourself is more important than doing the laundry. Us Moms need to recharge to be there for our kids.

so cozy & calming, love this slow chatty crafty style of vlog. reaaaally resonated with the message about finding balance in motherhood with our time, crafting and homemaking. making time for a bit of all of it to alleviate the overwhelm during the awake time. it can feel impossible to manage anything during their awake time especially now that he is a toddler but finding time for me is just as important as finding time for picking up the home. I think it’s important to see it as modeling that for them though, making time for us and also caring for a home! they are paying attention to everything we do!

You look so cosy and relaxed in your new home. What a pity the polo neck on your jumper annoys you. It looks so nice but I understand when things are annoying, it’s all you can think about. Don’t make it too small though. You could re start the green sweater and frog back the bit you have done at a later date. I find this can be more comforting to do. Looking forward to your progress. ❤❤

Love the shift in your video presentation. The color of your sweater is stunning. Can't wait to see what you do with that pattern!

I thoroughly enjoyed this video! Your commentary was so wonderful to listen to, and all the footage relaxing and well planned out. Great job editing. Thank you so much for sharing this cozy day!

Thank you so much!

I genuinely get so excited when I see you have posted a new video. I don’t have any kids (I’m only 24) but I love your videos so much. Sending love from Australia 🇦🇺❤️

One suggestion for referencing techniques without the phone is to write it down on an index card, like a recipe. Just writing might also help you memorize it.

This is a great tip. Thank you for sharing it!

It's amazing how our priorities change once we become mums. I had 4 children, all adults now. I often look back and wonder how I fitted it all in. The only quiet time I had was nap time when they were little, which was always filled with home making chores for me. Once they went to school and were old enough to do more for themselves, thats when I took quiet time and did my craft, (then sewing) or took time for myself. Good on you for doing it when you can. Good luck with the cables.

I think the turtleneck looks amazing on you but I understand the “suffocating” feeling lol. So happy when you post, you have such great videos!

I've been forcing myself to wear it basically all weekend and while I agree it doesn't look bad I'm almost 95% certain the collar would work better for me :) good thing we can change these things!

I truly enjoyed this style of video. As I was knitting while watching, it truly felt like you had invited me over to your living room to knit and chat with me. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit and thank you for the scrumptious snack and engaging talk. :)

I think the jumper you’re wearing looks great. Thanks for talking about making mistakes etc.x

Your hair loooks great! And I completely agree with the having fun even when it is hard, want to do this myself.

I really enjoyed this style of video from you, Bethany! Thanks so much for putting it together! I'm a new mom to a 6-mont-old daughter and I'm struggling to find time to knit lately. I do a lot of it in the evening after I've put her to bed (if putting her to bed works out well...), but I do wish I had more time for it like I used to.

Feeling a bit sick today and this was a lovely relaxing video to curl up to with my new cast on. I love your shelves!

Your sweater is lovely but I can’t wear those necklines either- have you tried turning the neck inside instead some people prefer that way! Worth a try ❤️💜❤️🙌

I love this video style today! It was so fun and cosy. I don't have kids but I completely get trying to balance and learning to balance priorities so you can have slow moments, it is definitely one of my goals too :)

I loved this video ❤ it is like cozy knitting in video form. I dont have children but i it some thing when you have less time to knit with other things to do that you appreciate it more

Great to hear all your intentions for the new year. I really love that purple yarn you’ve used for the sweater you’re wearing 😍

Love your videos. Also that green yarn is perfection. I can’t wait to see how your sweater turns out.

And the socks too 😊 please . I find your videos so easy to watch 😊

The purple sweater looks quite lovely on you! I totally understand about turtlenecks suffocating you tho. I feel that way with a lot of shirts and sweaters....sometimes even crew. I'm a mom of a 20 something and a 5 yo. When that lil one was born, all knitting came to a halt. 5 yrs later, with their disability, i still don't have a lot of time to knit, but i do put it on my list of things to each day--even if it's just a row. And it has helped them find a love of yarny things....even if right now that just looks like squealing with joy while spinning my swift or helping me wind cakes. Hipe your neck unknitting project goes smoothly and you make lots of progress on your intentions this year! Taje care. ❤

You’ve a very good attitude about your life. Love that green cable sweater with red hair! Beautiful. Also like the turtleneck with the shorter haircut but hey, uncomfortable, I get it.

That is such a lovely compliment (re life) thank you!

Definitely interested to know how you turn the turtle next into a crew! I have a sweater with the same problem and don’t know how to do it. Love the video! Watching it while my bb sleeps

I understand completely about the pattern mess up's! I recently got the 52 weeks of socks book and was so excited to try it out. I started the first sock, which is toe up (i do a lot of cuff down) and my gauge was off and I felt like the measurements for the pattern were wrong. I was trying to work the gusset but was nervous that it wouldn't fit. I undid a lot of the cables on it and was going to start the gusset sooner but then was still so confused, I frogged the whole thing. Later I realized that it had a certain amount of positive ease on it, which totally confused me because it wasn't in the book. But I do want to try it again as I do love the pattern (The Intersections Sock). It's funny though, because I do love trying to figure out the problems that I have in a project before frogging but this one was just disastrous.

I am also on nap time break right now ;). I made myself a hot chocolate and I am knitting on the champagne cardigan by petite knits 😊

Love your videos!!❤️🙏🏻✝️🙌🏻

Very nice Bethany! It was inspiring watching you organize😊

Glad you liked it!!

Oh I found the answer to the first question 😊

So nice to see your process! I am so badly in love with your north sweater which you knitted from bottom to top. It looks like THE perfect sweater in my opinion. Also, I love the oversized fit. Sadly I couldn't find any pattern for that one. So here's your call, if you like - I'd love to knit it!!! ☺️

YOU KNOW WHAT this was on my list of fave cable sweaters. I do wish I had remembered it, but ultimately the Laine magazine influenced my decision in the moment

where do you get your yarn from?

❤❤❤

I love this video, very calming and grounded. Where did you get this shelving furniture ? Thanks :)

Would you mind repeating the name of the mohair you are using with the British wool from Woolyknit? And the color of both?

Sometimes if I don’t understand steps or constructions I’ll look at other people’s Ravelry projects to see if I can visualize it better

that's a good idea!

So, is your channel about knitting or Interior Design, or is this like the Truman Show. Just curoius.

Dont always blame your self when a pattern isnt working for you. There are alot of poorly written patterns out there. Michele UK
