Rocking Chair Chat – with a surprise — October 18, 2024

Rocking Chair Chat – with a surprise

Hello, friends!

Welcome back to another cozy episode of my “Rocking Chair Knit and Chat.” Today, I’m excited to share my latest adventure in the world of yarn dyeing, and trust me, it’s been quite the colorful journey!

As I settled into my favorite rocking chair, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of anticipation. I had decided to experiment with dyeing yarn using Kool-Aid, and let me tell you, it was a delightful experience! I gathered my supplies, including some old Kool-Aid packets and Wilton’s Violet, and got to work. The vibrant colors were a joy to see, even if my hands ended up looking like a rainbow by the end of it!

I shared some wips and loved the rustic look of the mittens I was working on. These mittens feature beautiful cable designs, and I’m determined to finish them in time for an upcoming sale.

But that’s not all! In between dyeing and knitting, I also took a moment to share a bit about my daily life. I whipped up a delicious turkey salad using leftovers from our thanksgiving dinner.

And here’s the exciting part: I have a surprise offer for you at the end of the video! I can’t wait for you to see it, so make sure to watch until the end!

Thank you for joining me on this creative journey. If you enjoyed the video, please consider liking, commenting, and subscribing to my channel, Doll Can Create. Your support means the world to me, and I can’t wait to share more crafting adventures with you!

Happy crafting,

Peace in the Process — September 10, 2024

Peace in the Process

In my latest video, “Finding Peace in the Process,” I invite viewers to explore the beautiful intersection of crafting and spirituality. As part of my ongoing crafting and prayer spirituality challenge, I share insights on how these two elements can enrich our lives and foster a sense of community.

Key Highlights:

1. Crafting as a Spiritual Practice: I emphasize the importance of understanding the historical context of crafting activities like spinning and knitting. By reflecting on the traditions behind these practices, we can deepen our appreciation for the art of making.

2. Embracing the Journey: Throughout the video, I candidly discuss my personal challenges with knitting, particularly when it comes to making thumbs for mittens. My message is clear: it’s essential to find joy in every step of the crafting process, even the parts we may not enjoy as much.

3. Current Projects: Viewers get a glimpse into my current project, where I am spinning yarn on my favourite Turkish spindle. I share thoughts on how to use the yarn, whether for mittens or socks, showcasing the creative decision-making that comes with crafting.

4. Community Connection: The community is an important part of my crafting journey. Places like a local knitting group, where members gather to share desserts, conversation, and their love for knitting. This sense of belonging adds another layer of fulfilment to the crafting experience.

5. Encouragement to Reflect: The video encourages all of us to reflect on our crafting practices and consider how they can incorporate mindfulness and spirituality into our creative processes.
