Hello everyone!
I hope you had a wonderful weekend! I took a lot of time off to spend with my kids and family. It was great!
My mom and I went yarn shopping on Saturday in Salt Lake City. I’ll share pics at the bottom if you are interested in my knitting adventures. lol!
Last week my weekly giveaway was Beautiful You stamp set.
The winner is……
Jean Schultz
Congratulations!!!
This week’s Pink Candy is soooo super amazing!!! How would you like to win an entire medium Priority Box of my online class leftovers, extra die cuts, embellishments, and a lot of paper??!!!
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving last week. Here are some of my favorite pics of the day. So happy to be with all my 5 children. We were not all together last Thanksgiving because my oldest was living in Hawaii.
Some of you know that I have a new hobby/crafting obsession. About 2 months ago I learned how to knit so that I could go with my sister, Christy, on a knitting tour in Ireland.
I started with hats and am now sock addicted! I LOVE paper crafting and now also LOVE that I have another hobby that I can do while in the passenger seat of a car, sitting on my daughter or sons’ beds waiting for them to fall asleep, or in the living room watching TV with my family. I encourage all of you to add a new hobby to your collection this new year.
Here is a hat that I finished last week (and made in about a day!) . I knit on Sundays after church.
Isn’t my model the cutest? This is my ALMOST 13 year old, Thomas. Yes, a lot of you have watched him grow up over the years.
Here are the MOST ADORABLE self striping socks that I am working on now (while putting the kids to bed).
I have been asked by some of my viewers who are knitters or who would like to be knitters if I would start a youtube channel just for my knitting. I have decided that I will be starting up one very soon. You can click HERE if you would like to be one of my first subscribers. These are called “podcasts” even though they are videos and I will be doing 1-2 a month to share what I’ve made, what I’ve purchased, and just basic knitting and yarn goodness. 🙂 .
Here are some of the goodies that I got on Black Friday weekend for my knitting hobby.
P.S. My 12 Days of Christmas starts THIS Friday, December 1st! I have done this for at least 8 years, and have had great support so I will continue this year, too!
There will be new videos, giveaways, projects and Christmas FUN!! You will want to check my blog HERE every day during the 12 Days!!
Looks like you had fun with your family. Love your hat!!!
LOVE the photos of your family! There’s just nothing like having everyone home at the holidays to spend fun times together, is it? As for knitting…oh my. I managed to learn how to crochet a bit years ago but knitting just kept eluding me. I still have knitting needles and yarn but try not to think about them..ha!
Love the hat and all those pretty yarns!
Love all those yarn colors and what a nice giveaway. Great as always Robyn.
So excited for your knitting. Tried it once, never got the hang of it, probably the wrong yarn for a beginner. I do crochet though.
Great job on the hat, looks cute. Would love to win the giveaway.
What a fun prize box! It would be like Christmas to unpack it!
Love your knitting projects. I took a class in beginning knitting awhile back, and I wasn’t too successful at it! Felt like I had two left hands…
I have so many hobbies and so little time!!! I love to make things that people can use, so satisfying!
Beautiful family, beautiful life you have Robyn. Thank you for all you do for all of us!
Set my calendar for 12 days of Christmas!
Can’t wait for 12 days of Christmas Lots of goodies in the box
Oh looks like you might get me addicted to another hobbie ?
I’m excited for your 12 days of Christmas!!! But, to win this box of goodies!!! That would be Christmas!!!! Thanks Robyn!!!
That yarn looks so warm and cozy! I need to dig out my grandmother’s needles and hooks and give it a go!
Love the hat and socks! Great colors for both!! Congrats to last week’s winner! Thanks for a chance at a box of goodies!!
I love to crochet. In addition to being a ridiculous paper and stamp hoarder, I have too many unused skeins of yarn! If I keep it up, I’m gonna need a much bigger crafting space! I can fit at least one more box though….
I love to knit but haven’t done it in a while. The yarn you got is beautiful!
Holy moly! Knitting is something on my bucket list of things to learn/do! What a great box of goodies!
Creativity doesn’t stop with paper. I love jewelry making but may start back with knitting. That soothing feel of something in your hands while you sit, is electrifying
Omgoodness… that should say knit!!!!
Congratulations on accomplishing knitting I’ve tried several times and never could! I don’t know where you going to find time to nap with those beautiful children and all your stamping !!!! Keep on keeping on !
Love that you have a new hobby. Sometimes I get in a rut and feel I have lost all creativity. A new hobby might just be the thing to spark new ideas-thanks for the suggestion!
Aweso.e pics of family. Of all things I learned to craft, knitting is not one of them. Maybe when I am old, I will get that one learned, but for now paper is my passion! YRS and looking forward to your 12 days of Christmas?
Your socks are cute. I know knitting basics, but prefer the quick results of card making. I plan this next year, to use up all my non-SU supplies to make charity cards for local hospitals and organizations. If I ever finish unpacking and setting up my craft room. Lol
You are an inspiration to my daughter and I. We even have the baby watching your videos. He knows when it’s your voice now. Lol. Thanks for the chance to win.
I’m a knitter, too. I love making socks! New addictions are fun, but watch out. You might get like me hand have as much yarn as you have other crafting supplies! 🙂
Such a great family picture. Can’t wait for more ideas for Christmas cards.
You have a Beautiful family. Looking forward to the 12 days of Christmas.
Wish I knew how to knit. Love your items
Can’t wait for the 12 days of Christmas!!!
Glad you had a wonderful Holiday!! Loving the beautiful yarn!! Thanks for the chance to win!!!
So wonderful you could spend the Thanksgiving weekend enjoying your family. That is what it is all about. The leftover box looks like lots of fun Thanks!
I started knitting years ago but didn’t stick with it. Hopefully watching your videos will encourage me to try again. Love the beautiful colors of yarn you have. Beautiful family picture. And thank you for the chance to win your online class leftovers.
So glad your whole family was together for Thanksgiving. I love knitting also especially when ever I’m watching tv.
Beautiful items! Your very creative!
I am so excited! I have always wanted to learn to knit. It is on my bucket list!
Can’t wait for those twelve days to start!
What fun colors of yarn!! You have picked up knitting very quickly. All I have done is a few scarves-same number of stitches back and forth is the most I can handle! What a fun box of goodies you are giving away! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
I used to knit a lot of hats and scarves maybe I’ll have to start it up again . I would love to win a box of your leftovers . Thanks for all you do !
Glad you have a wonderful holiday weekend! Can’t wait for your 12 days of Christmas!
I love yarn — alnkst as much as i do paper! I crochet — but I can’t read directions — so I make the two things my grandma taught me! I’ve got those patterns memorized!
Knitting is so relaxing! And that black ribbon is the YUMMIEST!
Great knitting projects! I have never mastered knitting but I do crochet. Even did some strawberry booties for my granddaughter. Would love the box of leftovers, since I know they would be just plain FUN!
wonderful pictures of your family.Would love to win a box of your left overs
Never learned how to knit. I can crochet, but no knitting for me.
My granddaughter called it “yarning”. Haven’t done any knitting for awhile but it is a good winter pastime. Your box of goodies would be wonderful fun.
I love that you get to spend quality time with your family. I have knitted and crocheted in the past……it is quite relaxing.
Wow!!!! I won!!! Thank you!!! I feel like kicking my heels like one of the lovely ladies! This week’s Pink Candy sounds like some creative fun for the lucky winner!
Cute hat. I’ve never, ever even tried knitting. Maybe some day…………..
You do the most amazing gifts!!!
I love knitting as well! Made myself an Icelandic Pattern Sweater for my first big project, in gray, cream and pale pink! So very proud! Enjoy!
Loved seeing the pictures of your family
How wonderful that your family could all be together for Thanksgiving! Your knitting looks great. I love finding new hobbies.
I crochet tried knitting once but never caught on to it, need to try it again. Love your knitting projects. Would love to have some of your leftovers.
You have such a good looking family! Thanks for sharing all your talents with us!
God Bless and Thank you for all you do for us.
Looks like a lot of fun stuff in that box!
I crocheted afghans, but don’t do it much with my numbness in my hands. I love your colored yarn. A box of knick knack leftovers sounds like a great prize. Hope my name is drawn.
I am not a yarn crafter but I do love seeing items made by yarn crafters.
Looks so fun! I have knitted in the past! I need to start it again!
Robyn you’ve picked up knitting very quick. I love what you’ve done.
I crochet and love it. One of the main reasons is because I can do it on the go(sitting at the hospital, riding in the car or wherever). I am one of those people that can not just sit. I taught myself to crochet watching you tubes. I started with was clothes, then scarves, then afgans and now I am doing beanie hats. Love looking at your knitting projects Robyn.
Wash clothes not was clothes sorry
I am really impressed with your knitting!
Love your “leftovers!”
Robyn, you are blessed with a wonderful (and photogenic) family! I am not a knitter but will watch your new You Tube channel because you are so entertaining! Best wishes, Ellie
I’m impressed you picked up knitting so quickly! I crochet but took a few knitting classes with my friend and it was so awkward for me! I finally got the hang of manipulating the needles but I knit so slowly I gave up.
The hat is super cute. My mom showed me how to knit when I was a teenager. I never fished the blanket I was making. 30 years later it’s still waiting to be finished. Lol Thanks for the chance to win all the goodies.
Robyn, those are beautiful yarns. Where did you get them? I love the socks you are making. I have always wanted to try to knit a pair. Do you have an easy pattern?
I have just learned how to knit I love it
I love that hat.
Love your knitting projects. I crochet, or I used to many years ago, but I never did get the hang of knitting.
Gosh Robyn,
You have turned into a knitting machine.:)
I love all of your knitting projects!
I subscribed! Can’t wait to learn MORE from you! Thanks, Robyn!
Gosh Robyn, following all your activities just EXHAUSTS me!
I learned to knit and crochet from my husband’s grandma. I love it but I find it easier to crochet ? your socks are super cute!
I signed up for your podcast, perhaps it will inspire me to take up knitting! I used to, A LONG, time ago when afghans were in style (70’s). LOL Hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving Break!!
I’ve been trying to learn to knit forever! Still on the same scarf from 2013, so I’ll prob just got back to crochet! Great pic of your family. You look so happy for everyone to be all together 🙂
I’ve never managed knitting well – I’ve been crocheting for most of my life…. I’m glad you enjoyed the holiday with all of your children.
What a beautiful family you have there, Robyn! I’m glad you were able to enjoy the holiday together!
I just started to teach myself how to crochet. Hopefully someday I can learn how to knit. Can’t wait for your 12 days of Christmas!!
Such a fun box!! Thanks for the chance
Love your knitting!
I crochet a lot but do just a little simple knitting..looking forward to learning more!
Thanks for subscribing to my new knitting channel! Are you subscribed to my regular youtube channel, too?

Love your knitting! My sister knits, I have a cross stitch obsession, so that keeps me busy while watching TV. Can’t wait for the 12 days!
Your hat is so cute! My sisters knit but i have not since college.
A big family makes for good holiday memories!
