Flosstube no. 3: Sally stitches and... plays with yarn!
Happy Friday, Flosstube! It turns out I DID get this posted today, how neat! This time I wanted to share another hobby I do when I’m not cross stitching: playing with yarn! After a multi-year hiatus, that pesky yarn bug has bitten me again. Check out some of the projects that I’ve made recently.
Hey, I made that!:
Yule Goddess, designed by Tiny Modernist. Stitched on 28 ct. fabric dyed by Fiberlicious Yummy Fibers - “Winter Musings”.
I’m workin’ on it!:
Seaside Tiny Town, designed by Heart in Hand Needlearts. Stitched on 32 ct. fabric dyed by Forbidden Fiber Co. - “Glacier”.
Castle Homecoming SAL, designed by The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery. Stitched on 28 ct. fabric dyed by Picture This Plus - “Valor”.
Yarn!:
Wool & Honey sweater, designed by Andrea Mowry. Knitted with Lady Persephone sock yarn dyed by Countess Ablaze
Diagonapples scarf, designed by Anna Maltz. Knitted with Appletons crewel wool.
“Floral Picture” crewel kit, Pauline Denham circa 1971.

Thanks for watching my videos. I read and appreciate every comment. You all are so kind. 😌
Y’all, it drives me crazy that my text blocks are cut off on the edges. I will do better next time, but if you have any questions about the things I mentioned in this video, I’ll answer them below.
lol I barely noticed!!
@@stitcheswellwithvodka3534 hey that’s good! I think the frame is slightly different on TV vs. phone vs. laptop and I’m going to have to plan for all. Learning how to edit videos is kinda fun though! Thanks for watching!
I absolutely LOVE your stitch space!!!! I could watch you all day, great video, lots of fun. And a naughty kitty to boot. 😂❤
Love the scarf. You are so gifted and I love seeing the different hobbies your have.
Yule Goddess is fabulous
Maximalist, a term I so need in my life! Love your stitchy corner and crafty space and enjoyed this introduction to you. Yeah, it seems that loving "all the craft things" is the thing these days. I consider myself primarily a quilter who came from a clothing sewing background. Yet over the last two years it's the quilters I follow that got me into cross stitch to a degree I NEVER expected (which of course has also been aided and abetted by Flosstubes)! Years ago another quilter I followed at the time piqued my interest in sock knitting. I had not knitted and crocheted in decades at that point but or course now have a healthy stash of sock yarn, needles and patterns. I love the scarf and sweater you did so maybe watching your exploits will jumpstart the push back to yarn for me too! Always on the search for a good craft enabler..... 😄
You have a lovely voice and manner of presentation. Great stitchy company. Love the big windows..
I would like to see an organization video. Always gives me good ideas. Enjoyed the video.
A delightful video...organizing supplies sounds great...love your stitching...best wishes ❤
Your stitchy room is wonderful. I love bright colors and sunlight. They make me happy and keep the blues away.😊 i will enjoy seeing your progress on the Artic Animals SAL. I usually wait until a sal is completely finished to see if I need to stitch it, like I did with the Cozy Cafe. I did do crewel embroidery years ago and still do embroidery. I have a lot of hand crafts I like to do and my focus shifts from time to time. 😊 Your crewel piece is lovely.
Always open to any organizing ideas!
I love any organizing video! Hearing you talk makes me wish I didn't go through a "minimalist" phase. I wish I still had my sticker book from when I was a kid!! I'd love to see your sticker book. I just started the Yule Goddess, too. I love the fabric you chose-mine is an avocado and I'm already thinking of restarting on a different color.
Oh my goodness what a lovely stitchy corner! Thanks for sharing! I would love to have additional organizational ideas!
I love your vintage vibes and all the color! Yes I would love to see what your plans are for organizing all the crafty things. Lord knows I could use some inspiration in that category! LOL Enjoying your videos!
Really enjoy the variety on your video. Would love to see your organization and anything you'd like to share. Look forward to all your adventures. Happy day!
Just completely caught up on all your videos. What a delightful vibe you have going! I love a good tour of sewing/crafty spaces and how people organize their things. It's my secret second-jam to Flosstube. 😅
Yes! I need help in organizing my cross stitch supplies and my yarns!!!
Love your stitching space! And of course your cross stitch projects! I have been off sick this week and have managed to work on some fun things. I started an Artecy full coverage pattern today which I adore! I’d love to see your cross stitch supply organisation!!
I just found you and you are amazing. I would love to see how you organize your stitching things. Keep smiling.
I like your stitching corner!
I’d love to see an organizing video! Love your style 🤗
I absolutely love that fabric for Yule Goddess! I'll have to see if I can find something similar or try dying it myself maybe. I've been holding off on her because I couldn't decide on a fabric, but yours is amazing!
My mom, who's about to turn 83 did crewelwork for us two girls in the 60's and 70's. I just took apart a lion that she made bcuz the fabric is stained and starting to get holes in it. I'm hoping that I can get an expert to fix it for me. Thanks for the fun video!!
I love all your yarn projects. I've got a bunch of sweaters that have been sitting since 2020/2021 that just need to be bound off and sleeves added to them or I'm still on the body.
I have no business joining the new TFPS SAL but I joined anyway! 😂 I got the Evenweave mini kit and I'm waiting for it to show up. In the meantime, I finished painting custom wooden magnet strip boards for my girls and started stitching a new floral motif on fabric that will match my wedding dress with 25ct Evenweave waste fabric on top of it which will be turned into a ring pillow for our wedding. Too many crafts, too little time!
I also don’t have any business joining, but I’ll do better this time, I swear!
Oh so glad you picked up your sweater WIP as it came out amazing and the yarn color is perfection for that pattern. Love your x stitches too ✂️🪡🧵💕🧶
I love that scarf. I can just see it on a dreary snowy day, and you step out the door and BAM gorgeous color!!!
I live in a mid century modern house. That's why we bought it. Took one look at the aqua tile bathroom and asked for the papers. We're signing. 😊 Love your colorful taste. ❤
Craft organization! Please and thank you!
I love your artsy home! Your stitchy spot is perfect.
I would love organizing videos
👏👏
Did you stitch the holiday goddess on 28 count over one or two threads ( making it 14 count)?
Hi Susan! I did stitch over two threads, so it is essentially 14 ct. Thanks for asking!
@@SallyStitchesAnd thank you. I was hoping you stitched over two because that means chances are good I can stitch this without any problems.
@@SallyStitchesAnd how old is the Christmas pattern. I just looked on 123 stitch and couldn’t find it.
@@susanwestfall5519 it’s from last December, I believe. Tiny Modernist is the designer and the pattern is Yule Goddess. www.123stitch.com/item/Tiny-Modernist-Yule-Goddess-Christmas-Cross-Stitch-Pattern/23-2984
@@SallyStitchesAnd thank you. I just found it on her web site. Should have looked there first since it’s PDF and not hard copy. I like your fabric color choices better than the picture. Have three patterns in my cart 😱
Great video. Full of goodies. Lovely finish. I’d love to sees your cross stitch organization.
