Do I have time to write a new description? Not really, I have to get on a bus in 3 minutes, so please enjoy this rushed summary followed by a copypaste of last week's description!

Join me (again) in Detroit for some chicken scratch embroidery (also known as Gingham Embroidery for the sake of SEO), as well as some fun thrifted finds at a surprisingly wellstocked truck stop Good Will. Then there's more exploration of Detroit, followed by some clips of the show and another Show Time Story Corner, this time involving a hilarious last minute wardrobe malfunction that might involve a bit more sewing on this contract than I had intended!

In the first Detroit episode, I finally had time to measure out my gauge swatch (and made a surprising discovery that will yet again alter my knitting plans, but in a good way). I answered some of the most popular questions left in the comments section by you, the viewer, including WHERE IS THE CORGI? The desired corgi content was added in, in a most sneaky way, and then it was over to the historic and gorgeous Fox Theater in Detroit for a gruelingandfun threeshow day! Then we finished it up with another knitting progress report (because much knitting did happen between shows) before signing off for the episode!

THE PLAYLIST:    • VLOGmas 2023   

I don't have the energy to write a whole new description, so here's some of the text from the first episode! In this episode we'll find a suitable and free Christmas stocking pattern for some future Crazy Quilting!

I'll pack up our suitcase, but not before going through all the various crafts I'll be bringing with me on tour, including knitting, future knitting bags and notions, fabric for quilting, some chicken scratch apron supplies, AND of course the inevitable garland and twinkle lights to make each and every hotel on our whirlwind 6 week tour feel like home for the holidays!

Also included: some more sneak peaks of our touring Christmas Circus show (although more will come in future videos, don't worry), and a first look at my favorite vintage patterns!
