never apologize for kids and their chatter/giggles. Penny could have her own Vlog, she is the cutest!! I love that we all watch the same podcasts while we're knitting, it makes our beautiful community even tighter!!

What Laurie wrote ...

You should get some special items and ask your mum to make a quilt or project bag for a memory

I love to hear children in the background. "I've already got a white fluffy jumper that fulfills all of my white fluffy jumper needs." -still laughing at that! I've discovered Marion's World this past month. She knits, crochets, embroiders - she's an absolute treasure. She's doing Vlogmas. See you tomorrow, Laura!

The children are so sweet. I love the idea of the ballet cardi. I knit them for my girls when they were little. Very special memories. I loved this xx x

I also cleaned out all my daughter’s clothes yesterday. I do the same, keep all the handmade things and some favorites. I recently ordered a sweater shirt that says “mommy” and the word “mommy” is quilted on with a little sleeper that both my kids wore as newborns, I can’t wait for it to arrive, its my Christmas gift to myself

Hey there, thanks for making such lovely Vlogmases every year ( watched them all, as well as your podcasts). If you are looking for another knitting Vlogmas to watch, I absolutely recommend Finnish Knitting Stories! Jana is a wonderful, genuine person and watching her is like a cozy chat with a friend....

MaressaMade is doing a vlogmas this year and I’m stoked! She said it feels like watching your friends and family on tv and I think that’s totally right. It just becomes an essential, cozy, intimate part of the holiday season ❤

Create a “memory box” for each child.

My sister and I talked about baby clothes yesterday. She is considering hiring someone to get the boxes removed from her attic (she is 84 and her baby is 46). I for sure, think it is time to let it go because her grandchildren are all out of college.

You’re just radiant! Stay happy and enjoy this beautiful season.

I have a fade advent too and I'm trying to talk myself into the fact that they look different. I guess 24 colors it will be gradual! I thought about opening day 25 to make sure it gets darker!

Be patient! You can not open your gifts before Christmas. It’s a fade. Just keep going!

Methera is the number four used in times past by shepherds in the North to count their sheep. Yan is one, tan is two and Tethera is three. I’m not sure what comes next (not being a shepherd!). Really enjoying Vlogmass.

You and Another Knitting Pod are the only one's I watch that are doing vlogmas. Jeff 'has lost his "baby" voice!! He sounds so much more mature. And I just LOOOOOVE Penny's little lisp. SO cute!!!

I love watching grackles vlogmas

I love your Vlogmas, and it’s the only one I’m guaranteed to watch at least every other day since exams are this week and I’m in my first semester of graduate school! Also, thank you for reminding me to catch up with Samantha Jo again this year. Great video, Laura!

Love to see that Hot Wheels track! 😂 That's brings back Christmas memories! Lol... Ok...back to the knitting ( but, kids and toys just brighten my day! )

I always try to buy local when I’m traveling,it makes it so special

Love the Vlogmas’. (Wish I knew how to say the plural lol) I enjoy Sweet Skein o’Mine Vlogmas and seems that you’d enjoy her vibe.

O, I have been enjoying your vlogmas content. You are absolute joy ❤ I love Kay as well and I am a member too 😊.

I also enjoy watching the Vlogmases from Stitches and Starlight, the playful knitter, and the weekly vlogs from Stitching the High Notes and Earthtones girl.

I love vlogmas time! One of my favorites is Chelsea Yarns. Her signature intro is so cute... coming downstairs in her pj's, making coffee, taking her pooch out for a walk, and feeding her chickens (the girls). Enjoyed your podcast (as usual). See you tomorrow.

My favorite Vlogmas watch is...Laura Penrose! Laura, all the attributes you listed for vlogmas content creators you are watching fit you to a tee.i am watching some of the same ones you listed, so I'm glad to know I'm not too far off the quality mark.

I was just watching and had to comment before you said pink that was what I thought 😂

So much fun! Oh Gayna is a must watch 🥰 Tales from Cuckoo Land ….. love her!!!

My daughter and I were watching and all of a sudden my face was on the screen. That's always weird when that happens! I hope you're not getting sick. I came down with something the day before vlogmas started which was a huge bummer. I didn't even post yesterday because I was feeling so poorly. Thank you for your lovely, festive episodes!

I hope you feel better soon, and look forward to your next episode when you’re ready. Take care are of yourself dear Amber!! I’m feeling ok today, but my husband isn’t so it’s only a matter of time 🤣🙈

Methera is Yorkshire dialect for Number 4, yarn, tan, tethera,methera. 1,2,3,4....might not have spelt it correctly but you get the drift.

ït fulfills all my white fluffy needs' - Laura, this is brilliant and I am gonna use that phrase a LOT! 😍😂

I’ve knit the What the Fade shawl and the color order in the brioche goes A with D, B with E, and C with F, and in the garter the order is F, E, D, C, B, A (but check the pattern as I’m writing this from memory)….SO one idea could be to open day 13 (rather than day 4) and see if you want to pair the second half of the advent as the private side of the brioche!!!! Hope this makes sense

Thanks! I think I’m just going to work my way through the colours when it feels right and just used the fading technique in the pattern! X

Lovely vlog Laura. Your kids are so cute - I'm going to call mince pies Christmas pies like Penny now. Makes much more sense 😃

P’s little braids and bow- so freakin cute! 🥰

I love following along with your vlogmas Laura! Your shawl is working up beautifully!

Loving your vlogs! They are making me even more excited for the Christmas season!

I was in our LYS yesterday and I fondled the Fiber yarn co., Cirro yarn. It is dreamy. I NEED a project for it. Considering a Slipover.

"I swore"... 😅 That is so me....everyone goes "oooooo" if I drop a swear word occasionally 😂 Loving vlogmas as always... I start my day with you, sitting outside with my morning chai latte ( in Australia) listening to the birds and watching two cute dove/pigeony type of birds building their nest in our grape vine... ❤ See you tomorrow xx

I just looked up these birds and they are called laughing doves 😊 and apparently I can expect to be a laughing doves mummy in around 3 weeks ❤

Hehe I swear reasonably often, I just try not to on camera in case there are any kids watching! 🤣 I thought this one was safe to leave in though as it’s barely audible 🤣

Hi Laura! Enjoying your vlogmas. Just popped in to say that I made What the Fade with a 6-skein fade set, and my experience is that subtler fade would have made it better to not make it too stripy. So I think your Advent fade is perfect - just thought I'd share my experience, totally your choice!

Why don’t you cast on your Christmas socks toe up, so that you can see how the pattern works up a little before committing to the heel and cuff colour? I love the sparkly black socks 😊

I love your content! I’m going to check out aka Nora Knits now! I wanted to recommend a girl from my state, Arkansas! Kaci at Young Folk Knits🤗 I loooove her podcasts. I bet you would too!

I do watch Kaci! Penny loves her accent, especially when she says ‘fibre dyer’ ☺️☺️☺️

Can you please tell me the name of the blanket you had on your lap. It’s triangles back to back. I’ve not been knitting for years and I’ve finally got my mojo back. 😊
