StashVlogs 2023 – The Journey

Hey Ya’ll! Summer is almost here! What this means, is that I’ve started gearing up for Stash Dash. The Stash Dash Along officially starts Friday, May 26th. However… I’ve already started up the summer Vlogs for the year. They officially kicked off on 4/3. In April, the vlogs were every other week. For May, however, I will be putting up weekly vlogs until the end of August.

 

I don’t have a SET plan for Stash Dash yet (except for at least 15K meters or more), but I do have a few ideas as to what I want to finish during the Summer. I’ll be listing everything I finished here, as well as the yardage/meterage I currently have.

 

Still To Finish:

1) BIL #2’s Socks – Still need to finish leg & cuff on first sock.

2) Sister’s Socks – Still need to finish leg & cuff on first sock.

3) Mom’s Socks – Still haven’t started

4) EE’s Socks – Still haven’t started

5) My Socks – Still haven’t started

6) Someone else’s socks – Still haven’t started

7) Squares Blanket – Need to connect + Add Border.

8) Hexi Blanket – Need to connect + Add Border.

9) Harvest Cardigan – Have two sleeves still to do.

10) EE’s Blanket – Have another large skein (at least) to add.

11) Random other blanket – NO idea how much is left.

12) Scrappy Crochet Shawl – (waiting for S.D. & last of Sock yarn)

13) Hat – Halfway done as of 5/24.

 

Here is the schedule for when I’m planning on putting the StashVlogs up (as it currently stands):  

Episode 1: 4/3

Episode 2: 4/17

Episode 3: 5/1

Episode 4: 5/8

Episode 5: 5/15


Episode 6:
5/22

Episode 7: 5/29

Episode 8: 6/5
Episode 9: 6/12
Episode 10: 6/19
Episode 11: 6/26
Episode 12: 7/3
Episode 13: 7/10

Episode 16: 7/31
Episode 17: 8/7

Also… TickerFactory is where you can find counters like the one below. Dunno why the other link comes up….

April 2023 Posts Update

Hiya all! Sorry it’s been so long since I posted ANYTHING here. Alot of that has to do with my depression being a bear, and also… I’ve been just wanting to craft and not write at all. Plus, my memory has been AWFUL over the past few months, and I haven’t the foggiest idea why…. But… That’s neither here, nor there…

There will be a FEW posts going up here on the blog over the next little while. This is normally what happens when I don’t post for a bit. So I appreciate your patience with me as I’m catching up… I’m going to talk a bit about what they will be now….

On Sunday the 30th, I will be putting up a list of all of my Twitch VODs (Streaming Videos) that went up on YT during the month of April. There weren’t as many as there were in March, but that’s to be expected as March was the month I was trying to play catch up. April was the month where I put up each VODs on Sunday.

On Monday the 1st, you’ll also be seeing the introduction of the 2023 StashVlogs here on the Blog. However… These started, officially, on 4/3.

I will also be putting up a post introducing the newer Vlog-style videos I’ve been putting up in place of regular Podcast episodes. I’ll explain that more later….

 

Let’s see. On Tuesday the 2nd, you will see a post talking all about the WIPs & Chats I’ve been putting up weekly since the beginning of the year.

 

 

 

 

Wednesday the 3rd and Thursday the 4th, I will be the putting up posts about the few paintings that I’ve been finishing and that have already gone up on YT. Yes. I’m playing a bit of catch up with that. Sorry about that. Like I said… Brain has been forgetting things recently….

I’ve also been forgetting to add posts about the large paintings I’ve been finishing and putting up as Timelapses on my YT Channel. There are a few that have yet to go live on YT. Those posts will go up the Saturday of the week they start on the channel. So they will be spaced out at bit. Here is a teaser of what those will be….

 

Let’s see… Besides the entry updates, there are a few things I want to mention…

I’ve stopped using FB for ANYTHING. Instagram has been a bit neglected of late too, so you’ll have to come here directly for updates. I might even remember to update Instagram when I put up new entries, but I cannot guarantee anything… Sorry…

Oh yeah… I stream on Twitch (link is to my channel directly) every Tuesday & Thursday at 9AM EDT, and Wednesday at 10AM EDT. That is, unless I’m having a special stream that week, which means I try to save up my energy for it and I don’t stream at my normal times. Here is the schedule I made up for May and June, so you can look at it directly (oh yeah.. That reminds me… Need to post May’s schedule to my panels on Twitch this weekend… lol)

 

Alright. That should do it. Thanks for reading this entry.

Until Next Time, Happy Crafting!

A Bit of Chit Chat:

Alright. A bit of why I am not recording this episode and posting it on YouTube. The short answer? I have plans to stop the full-length podcast episodes.

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but over the past year I’ve been taking more and more breaks from full podcast episodes. I’ve also been posting more timelapses, videos from my streams, or smaller vlog-style videos over the past year. Part of the reasoning, is that I’ve felt that my normal episodes are not being posted/pushed by the YT algorithm, and I’ve been feeling burnt out by the extra pushing I had to do to get it seen to new viewers. So I gave up and started to post what I want to pour my energies into.

I’ve felt guilty about NOT letting you know what’s been going on in my life (crafty-wise), so I try to keep uploading those episodes when I could.

I love the VlogTober/VlogMas style of episodes where I’m just chatting with everyone. These types of videos seem to be snagging everyone’s attention better. So, I will continue with the Summer Vlogs, VlogTober, and VlogMas episodes as they come up. I might post occasional WIP & Chats as well. I’ll try to switch up crafts too.

Another note… Instead of full-length podcast episodes, I plan on doing monthly updates here on the Vlog. I will be writing out full “shownotes” and putting the details of each project I’ve been working on/finishing here. I’ll be changing the Podcast category on Discord a bit too, so be on the look out for that…

These notes you see may include dates in ( ). They just notate when I started it or finished it, depending on if I remember to notate the date.

 

One final note before I start the Shownotes… I believe I’m going to be dropping the FB group by the end of 2022, as no one engages there anymore, and I don’t really use FB for anything other than contacting my IRL family.

I will continue to grab all FOs/WIPs from Instagram for the alongs as long as you tag me or use the hashtags.

With that, LET”S GOOOOOOOOO! lol!

  1. Details
    1. This along is to help keep ourselves reading, and reading the books we REALLY want to finish in 2022. The idea is to read a minimum of 10 minutes every day, no matter WHAT it is you read. Audio books, social media posts, blogs, online/offline comic books all DO count.
    2. There will be new FO threads once a quarter.
    3. We’ll be using #SDLPileTaming2022 on all social medias.
  2. Prizes
    1. Anyone who reads a minimum of 10 minutes every day for the entire year will be entered into a drawing for 2 Gift Cards to Amazon and 2 Gift Cards to Webs’ online store. For every 10 people who enter the Reading Along, I’ll add another Gift card of each type to the pool.

 

Rolling On The Final Credits: 

I’m pretty social. You can find me on our Discord Board, which is The Crafting Zen. I’m Silver Dee #8858 (need to add to titlecard: ) there. I’ll put a link to the Discord Board (where you can find Episode and Along threads and everything else I’ve ever talked about on the Podcast) below and in the shownotes. These can also be found on Facebook as well, although I’m not going to lie… I don’t check the FB group as much as I check the Discord group. The link for the FB group will be also listed below (https://www.facebook.com/groups/silverscraftyzen )

A note about the FB group. You do need to answer 3 questions, as I’m trying to keep spammers out of the group. First question, what episode I’m up to. Today is episode ___. Second question, What is the name of Silver’s Son? Mario The Cat/Mario. If you don’t remember these answers, that’s fine. Just note this in your answers. Chances are, you’ll be in. But you do need to read the Group Rules and hit agree. The rules are simple and absolute in my eyes when you answer the questions. You just have to agree to be nice…

On Instagram and on Twitter I am @SilversKnitting. I tend to read through all messages as soon as I possibly can. If you don’t hear from me within 24 hours, please feel free to e-mail me directly at silversdreamland@gmail.com.

I am on Patreon. If you would like to join, it helps with shipping costs, and helps keep the lights on around here. You get behind the scenes content at every level, some Patreon-only goodies, and early access to all episodes/videos/Twitch Streams. At the $5 and up levels, there is a Weekly Knit Night that I’ve got set up over Zoom/Discord chat. It’s a lot of fun, if you’d like to join us this year…

Episode 115 – “Swamp Water”

Welcome To The Crafty Zen:

Hello everyone! I’m Silver! It is Monday, April 4th. A quick “Welcome Back!” must go out to all returning viewers. If you tuned in last time and decided to come back, I REALLY do appreciate it. I also just want to say a quick “Hello!” to any new viewers. I’m pretty social. You can find me most on Discord as Silver Dee #8858 and on Instagram as @SilversKnitting.

Normally, at this point, I’d say there’s a lot I have to talk about. Since I’m going to be participating in a charity event where I’m streaming for long periods of time, I’m going to save my voice and write down all that I worked on since the last time I podcasted. Especially since there’s been a lot. I’ve got the Quarter videos for the alongs up on YouTube (videos will be included in this post), and that will be the end of my voice for a bit.

I drank WAYYY too much (jello shots, am I right… 😉 ). Let’s see… They had a signiture drink for Rain too. They called it Rain Water (hence the title of the episode). It was VERY alcoholic…I had two… lol…We gave Rain too many gifts (but that’s okay. He’s WORTH it!!!) and ALOT of hugs. He seemed to have fun trying to pop the balloons, knocking the “Rain” blocks over by his throne and dancing. There were blow up alligators everywhere.

  1. 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. 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.

March’s FO’s:

 

  1. 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.

      3. The main idea I had for this Along is to Start or Finish things that have been in your Queue (weither 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.

        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.

Introduction to the Stripe-Along 2021

Hello, wonderful makers!!! I thought it time that I highlight the first of two Alongs going on in the year of 2021. The second is the Stripe Along 2021.
Here’s a bit of background on the Along and how it came about:
I realized that I’m down to 3 more skeins of Desert Vista Dyeworks’ stripey yarn (as of December 2020). 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. This along will run all year long.
I’ll be using #sdlstripealong2021 on all Social Media.
Rules:
  • The rules are simple. Anything you finish in 2021 with stripes will count.
  • 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.
  • Colorwork, Fairisle, Stranded Colorwork, Double Knitting, and Intarsia will count, as long as the colors you use are bright and cheerful.
  • 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.
    • If you started and finished the project in 2021, you can enter your FOs 2 total times.
    • If you started and finished the project in 6 months time, you can enter your FOs 3 total times.
    • If you started and finished the project in 3 months time, you can enter your FOs 4 total times.
    • If you started and finished the project in 2 months time, you can enter your FOs 5 total times.
    • If you started and finished the project in 1 months time, you can enter your FOs 6 total times.
Prizes:
  1. A skein of yarn by West Yorkshire Spinners called the “Fairy Lights” colorway. Pattern is included!
  2. @Pat (loonyhiker) has offered one of her lovely patterns. You can look at her patterns on Lovecraft, or on Rav. https://www.lovecrafts.com/en-us/user/Pat-H/patterns/630f52b1-1e3c-4190-9e4d-c58fecb61daf or https://www.ravelry.com/designers/pat-hensley
  3. If anyone wishes to donate any prizes, please message me on Discord (I’m Silver Dee #8858, FB, or you can e-mail me at silversdreamland@gmail.com. I do have a few prizes in mind as of right now, but I haven’t completely decided (as I JUST now thought to put this Along together).

I hope to see you there!

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
