I'm Back!!!!

O.K... You're probably thinking - 'Where The Hell Have You Been?'... Right????

Well, there really is no 'good' explanation for my blogg-y absence. Things just got on top of me and blogging, unfortunately, was the thing that fell be the way-side... But, I'm back now!!!!

I'm so thrilled with all of the great feedback from my 'Video-Blog #1' that I've finally made '#2'...


(if this doesn't work, again, follow this link) There's 25% off some gorgeous yarn and another great Give-Away so be sure to check it out and let me know what you think...arcadia

    love blog post number two... you and your hats are too cute Jodes.... was that filmed in the shop or at home? I was peeking through behind you to the table . I like both slouchy and non-slouchy BUT I want to make for a child older than six so think I would go non slouchy in that instance. would the cascade arcadia you have on sale be suitable? how much would be required? Thanks, Jodie

    Hi Jodie, I missed your last video blog but I had time to sit and listen to this one. WOW Girl! Such a great way to get to see your projects and keep in touch. I wish I was closer and you could teach me to knit/crotcher...

    Video blog no 2 was great. I love both the slouchy and non-slouchy version of the hat. You are very clever!!

    But as I have never made myself a slouchy hat I choose that one. Will this pattern be available to purchase?

    What yarn did you use for your hats? The child size is adorable.

    Hi Jodie! It's great to have you back blogging!! I did wonder where you got to....
    I am enjoying your video blogs, and I must say I really love your slouchy hat. But I do like both versions. We love hats here!
    I'm also interested in your yarn sale....my stash needs a little top up I think...

    Oh how fantastic is your videocast Jodie! Love the hats you made and I really like the non-slouchy one, although the first one from the Shetland Trader book looks great. I might have to buy that book and find out all the great patterns in it. I am going back to no. 1 videocast to see if it works for me this time around!

    Hi Jodi, What a cute Video blog. Nice to have you back up and running in blogland. Hat? I really like the blue non-slouchy version. The fit looks great on you.

    The video post was great Jodie. It had a real personal feel. I liked both of the hat versions but I think I would probably choose the slouchy.

    Loving the grey slouchy hat Jodie! I've been thinking something like this would be required for the coming chill! If only I could put down these knitting needles to pick up a hook...

    Video blog 2 = fantastic

    What a great idea. The beanies all look great. I like the less slouchy one:) am on a mission to make a few hats for my cousin who has just started her chemo and I dint think she really needs slouchyvas soon there will be no hair to hide.

    Great Videos Jodie..it's really lovely to see what you are making..
    I love both hats but the non-slouchy looks better on you...
    Do you have a Hat pattern for a 1yr old Girl..I prefer to knit in wool.
    we don't need the thick wool here on the coast..
    Interested to see what you have..
    Thanks

    YOU are adorable! I'm thinking I missed the first video somehow? I like the less slouchy version of the hat, but they're both adorable!

    Your work is beautiful and I just love your blog. I am due with our second baby (first girl!) in September and am so excited to start knitting/crocheting/sewing for her. Both versions of your hat are super cute, but I vote for the non-slouchy one. I think it would be so cute on a tiny little head. ;)

    Hi Jodie, Love following your blogs and the videos are great. Whatever you make and wear looks fabulous, but i like the fitted hat better. I get my mum to do the knitting and i decorate them crotched or felt flowers.

    20 lashes with a wet noodle for neglecting us...but all is forgiven because we know you have been busy with the really important things. Haven't had a chance to check out your second video, but I'm sure it is another winner. Good to have you back, I know everyone missed you :)

    Great little video. Big question - what colour is the Malabrigo you had? And is it a deepish variegated blue? I am searching for a darkish electric blue/lapis luzuli sort of colour.
    As to your pattern, personally like the slouch

    Hi Jodie! Have thoroughly enjoyed both of your video blogs. I do like both of your crochet hat versions, but if I had to really choose I would opt for the non-slouchy version. I love the baby and children's hats too. Look forward to your next video blog!

    Hello Jodie girl, I just watched your 2nd video and I love all the hats, lol...would be hard for me to choose just one, but I do like the gray slouchy one, and the newborn would come in second. I wish I lived in Australia, would love to come visit your shop :)

    Hi Jodie,
    Great video blog. my vote goes for the fitted blue version (even though I would secretly prefer it in Grey).
    thanks for the opportunity.
    Cheers

    Hi Jodie... I didn't get a chance to see the 1st video... (since you've done the 2nd it wouldnt let me pull it up) but you did such a good job! Looks like your an old pro now! LoL....
    Both the slouchy and non-slouchy are great... and the sweater is cute too. Bet this has really bumped up your sales! At least I hope so.
    Good luck!

So glad to have found you again, getting back into knitting and crochet seeing I added another member to the family who I can make for!! Looking forward to seeing what you have been up to, I am sure I will have pages and pages to catch up on.
