Silver’s Chatting With Diamonds Again….

Hiya all!!! I started a new series on my YouTube Channel where I work on a project and tell everyone how my week/weeks are going (as there may be times where I don’t feel like talking one week due to illness so may skip it). These videos are YT exclusive videos (much like the timelapse videos). Most of the time, the project will be a Diamond Painting, but it MIGHT be something else. I have done mostly Diamond Paintings so far, but you never know if I might switch it up…. lol. I’ll try to come back every week to update the list of WIP n Chats. But just in case… Ya’ll know my track record with updating things lately, so wanted to warn you… If you subscribe to my channel and hit the bell, you’ll be notified when a video goes live….

With that bit of promo out of the way… Here are 2023’s WIP n Chats!

This is the week that I remembered that I could add the pic of what the painting will look like at the end… lol….

The next WIP n Chat is scheduled to go live on 9/5. See you then for an update (if I remember)!!!

Until Next Time, Happy Crafting!

Vlogging Through 2023

Hiya all!!! I started doing Monthly Vlogs instead of proper episodes. Basically, I sit there and talk about what I’ve been working on all month, like I used to. Except, I’ve started using my streaming set up as background and adding photos and videos to show stuff off (as many of the things I finish I’m too lazy to go find…) Hope you understand, as the way I want to do things has changed since the very beginning of the Podcast. “Like duh!” you’re saying, right? lol

Here is the list of 2023 Vlogs that have gone up so far. I’m also going to be updating this post as soon as the Usual Vlogs start up again in September. The first two were before the start of the StashVlogs.

#1: 2/12

#2: 3/6

#3: 9/4

Until Next Time, Happy Crafting!

1. Knit For Food Knit-a-thon 2022
  1. Knit for Food Knit-a-thon is a 12 hour knitting marathon to raise funds and awareness for food insecurity. The money we raise will be equally divided between Feeding America, World Central Kitchen, No Kid Hungry, and Meals on Wheels.
  2. The knit-a-thon will take place virtually on February 12th, from 10am-10pm. There will be some programming throughout the day (music, speakers, breakout knitting rooms, yoga, stretching, knitting ergonomics, etc.). We’ll hear from each of the four organizations that we’re fundraising for to learn more about the work they’re doing. There is a $100 fundraising minimum to attend the zoom. More details will be coming along with a schedule closer to the event! The zoom programming is completely optional! You could stay home on your own, get together with another knitter, or gather with a group of crafty friends at your LYS and stay offline. The choice is completely yours.
  3. The Crafty Zen has a team. Sher of MeditativeCrafting and I are heading up this team. I will be opening up a group event on Discord. You are more than welcome to join in the chat and knit/craft along. Just let me know soon-ish so I can give you permissions to do so on that group. I’m still looking into doing the same on the FB group. Please let me know if you’d be interested in joining. I’d LOVE to have you!!!
  4. If you are so inclined… Please feel free to donate (via GiveButter) using our link. https://givebutter.com/knitforfood22/TheCraftyZenCrew
  5. I bought merch for the event, because of course I did. I missed out on it last year, as I signed up SUPER late. I have a Tshirt and Tumbler for the event… Can’t wait to use both!!!

The More You Know: (

KAL Breakdown (

Stripe-Along 2021 (
1. Details
  1. At some point last year, I had realized that I was down to 3 more skeins of Desert Vista Dyeworks’ stripey yarn. As I have enough stripey yarn to get through a full year if I continue knitting a pair a month, I have decided to start an Along for those who like stripes of ANY kind.
  2. This along will run all year long.
  3. I’ll be using #sdlstripealong2021 on all Social Media.
2. Rules
  1. The rules are simple. Anything you finish in 2021 with stripes will count.
  2. You must be a member of The Silver’s Dreamland Discord or FB group. If you don’t use either, please make sure you use the Hashtag and @ me on Instagram (@silverstreats). This way I know to count your projects for this along.
  3. Colorwork, Fairisle, Stranded Colorwork, Double Knitting, and Intarsia will count, as long as the colors you use are bright and cheerful.
  4. A Few Notes: For this Along, you can enter your project multiple times. There is no need to enter the FO multiple times. As long as you notate how long it took you to complete each project, I’ll comment with the correct Post numbers.
    1. If you started and finished the project in 2021, you can enter your FOs 2 total times.
    2. If you started and finished the project in 6 months time, you can enter your FOs 3 total times.
    3. If you started and finished the project in 3 months time, you can enter your FOs 4 total times.
    4. If you started and finished the project in 2 months time, you can enter your FOs 5 total times.
    5. If you started and finished the project in 1 months time, you can enter your FOs 6 total times.

Dream Along 2021 (
1. Details
  1. I was dreaming of saying goodbye to 2020 something fierce by the end of the year. In an effort to literally dream 2020 away, I thought to host a new along in 2021 where I finally cast on projects I’ve been dreaming about starting. I also have been (literally) dreaming about finishing projects that I’ve had on the project for a long time. To this end, the Dream Along 2021 was born.
  2. This year will run all year.
  3. I’ll be using #sdldreameralong2021 on all Social Media.
2. Rules
  1. The rules are simple. Anything you finish in 2021 will count.

  3. The main idea I had for this Along is to Start or Finish things that have been in your Queue (either as UFOs or things you have been dreaming of making for years and haven’t gotten up the gumption to do so before. I’m looking at you Evenstar…). However, ANYTHING you finish in 2021 will count for this Along.
  4. A Few Notes: For this Along, you can enter your project multiple times. This is based on the length of time the project has been in your Queue. There is no need to enter each FO multiple times. As long as you notate how long it’s been marinating, I’ll comment with the correct Post numbers for you.
    1. If you started or have had this in your queue more than a year, you may enter your FOs 2 total times.
    2. If you started or have had this in your queue more than 2 years, you may enter your FOs 3 total times.
    3. If you started or have had this in your queue more than 3 year, you may enter your FOs 4 total times.
    4. If you started or have had this in your queue more than 4 years, you may enter your FOs 5 total times.
    5. If you started or have had this in your queue more than 5 years, you may enter your FOs 6 total times.
    6. If you started or have had this in your queue more than 10 years (longer than I was on Rav), you may enter your FOs 10 total times.

The More You Know: (

Random Announcements

Summer Schedule Announcements:
1. StashVlogs started on 4/21. I’ll have 3 per month on Wednesdays. I’ll be sure to remind everyone. These will be Live Premieres at 1PM ET. They will be abbreviated podcast episodes with what I have been working on & finishing. Maybe some life stuff…
2. StitchySilver Vlogs started on 5/5 and will be the first Wednesday of every month through August. This will be the only time you will see my stitching from now until the September episode. I know myself. During the summer, I won’t want to stop finishing knitting/crocheting items. This at least makes me spend a few hours a month working on it. I may continue them after the summer, but we’ll play that by ear…
