Off the Grid Needlearts - A Very Merry Flossmas Vlogmas 2024 - Day 1

So we begin...looking forward to stitching with everyone! Thanks

This is the best way to wake up every morning! ❤

So much loveliness in this first package! Can’t wait to get started 😊

Merry Flossmas to you!! I so enjoy starting each December day with you and all your beautiful stitchy goodness.

Just finished my part one! My first purchase from you and definitely not the last!! X

Just like Christmas morning when I was a kid. I have been so excited to open my box. Thanks to you and Kerri and Jacob and your team for all your hard work. Everything is beautiful. What a special way to celebrate advent this year. 🕯️

What a great start!!!!!

So nice to see you again this year!

I’ve never done the mystery.. it’s on my bucket list! But I love seeing these videos. Thanks! 😊

So excited to get started! 🌲

I have been so excited to start. 🤶

Thank you Caroline and Crew. Wonderful start to the day ❤

This red floss is amazing and I love the name! Wonderful start to the project!

What a treat to start December! ❤

What a great way to start the Day. This is my first advent box and i'am already hooked🎉 beautiful linnen and floss. And those cards with the pattern 😍😍😍 Caroline and crew...thank you soooo much for the amount of work and love you all put in❣️

I waited this year till today to open the box - shouldn’t have as I got 36-ct linen instead of the 32 I ordered. Now time to see if these old eyes can stitch in such a small count! (I have some backup linen (Fairy Dust by Wichelt) here to use just in case). Looking forward to it either way! Thanks for doing this - last year was my first and I loved it.

Happy December!! So excited to open my box this morning and the fabric is gorgeous. Thank you for all you and your team do to bring us this event.

Ordered from Patty. Thanks. I’m so excited to get started tonight.

So excited to open my box and get going! Thanks for all your hard work putting this together for us!❤

This is the best time of the year!!! Thank you Caroline, Kerri, Jacob and all the team for being there for us and bringing joy in our December. And thank you for the charity initiative. This is such a good cause and especialy needed this year with all going on in the world.

Thank you all for the day one gifts. The fabric and floss are beautiful. I have been looking forward to this adventure. Happy Advent.

Wow! Your knitting is amazing! You have made great progress on your afghan. It looks fabulous. Love the sock. Clara is going to love them as well. So glad you were able to make some awesome family memories. So happy for everyone. Safe travels home … stay warm. ❤️

Happy Flossmas, Caroline! I didn’t realize you started this lovely tradition. I look forward to it every year. This will be my second year of participating in the stitch along and can’t wait to get started later today. Thank you to all of you at Evertote, Roxy, Floss Co. and MFE for doing all the hard work that makes it possible❤️

Happy Flossmas everybody! I have to admit I am one who opened the fabric pack a day early.... then bag #1. I had decided to 'TRY' 40 ct linen for the first time with this project! Once I saw the fabric I wondered how on earth I was going to count and make my 10 x 10 markers... that's when the Day #1 bag was opened. I'd apologize except after 3 different magnifiers I am convinced I may not make it by Christmas Day. If anyone has tips for marking/stitching on 40 count linen I am VERY open to them! Ha! Once the first stitch is in, I'm fine, it is just the counting part that leaves me gasping and suspect! Hope everyone enjoys Day #1!! I am in awe of all the work that has gone into this project - thanks much to all the packers, dyers and folders! Happy stitching from the Yukon - we are warming up from -36* last night!!

I have been counting the days! We are finally here and I couldn’t be happier. Thanks for all the time all of you dedicate to this holiday joy that is our countdown box 💚❤️

WOW!!!! The floss, Suitable, is absolutely gorgeous!!!!!
A few weeks ago, I ordered the entire kit, if you call it a kit, for Soaring With the Wind, pattern, linen and Roxy Floss, and I am SO impressed with the floss!!! WOW!!!! It's more than gorgeous!!!!!!
I WILL be ordering more into the future!!! Oh, yes!!!!! When I am able to, for sure!
Now that I know, and I kind of already knew given the success of your products and the huge number of people who use and love your products, it would be wonderful, and it is!
I also ordered an extra piece of linen in Pannetone 40 count, for Hannah Attwater 1832 - I WISH I had ordered the floss pack, also! Next time, for sure!
Thank you for offering us such high quality products that are stunning!!!!!
I will be watching your Flossmas videos this entire season! I wish I had had my timing right to have been able to participate this year! I goofed! Oh, well! There is next year!!!!! I will NOT goof up the timing, NO! Lol!!!!!

Yay! It’s finally here! Happy FlossMas! Day 1 has been so nice. I’m happy it fell on a Sunday.

Christmas season blessings to you,your family and team. Day one stitching is starting.

I cannot believe the whole year passed since the last countdown! I was waiting patiently for the 1st of December to open the box and to watch the videos - they are the only things that bring me joy of the season in this heat :) Thank you for the hard work, Caroline, Kerri and Jacob!!

Day one is lovely! The needleminder and ornament are especially great treats!

Hello! We had a planned a walk on the beach this morning, but were delayed because I had to open my box and bag #1! 😊 This is my first time participating and I am loving the beautiful linen and floss. Can’t wait to see what develops! Happy Flossmas to the whole team!

❤❤❤

Fantastic start to another fantastic year of Flossmas videos. 🎄

Early happy holidays! Always fun t watch your channel. Best wishes

Thank you for the wonderful introduction and start. I found it very helpful even though I am not stitching this. I was stitching.

Day 1 is wonderful! I may not manage to keep up but will enjoy the videos and catch up eventually.

Hope I counted correctly! Will probably do what you are doing and count one more time! Super excited about this pattern!

That Afghan is stunning ❤

Your daughter is as beautiful as her mama. So nice to see you two together. Ah day 1. What can I say? Everything, simply everything is so beautiful. I didn't know we were getting another Christmas ornament and it totally made my day. I attached the beautiful ribbon and put it right up on the tree next to the 2023 ornament. Really guys you give us such beautiful items. I adore my aida. I usually go with linen but chose a 20ct aida this year and it's just lovely. Sigh of joy. Oh and Caroline, I had no idea it was you that began flossmas. Well thank you very much because it brings me much happiness during the month of December. The only problem is I miss seeing everyone so often when January rolls around. 🤣

Happy Flossmas!! Wow it doesn’t seem like it’s been seven years but time has flown by. I remember when you started Flossmas and I think I have the first couple of ornaments still to stitch. I’ll have to purchase this years as well. I was lucky enough to get the advent box this year and the fabric and floss are stunning. The afghan is beautiful, I remember when you started it and I still want to make it for myself one day. Beautiful pictures of your adventures with your daughter. Enjoy your time with her

Happy Flossmas so glad that you got to spend some time with Sarah! Love the fabric and first thread color!

Cheers to day 1 flossmas. I loved the first envelope and can’t wait to continue with Jacob’s pattern. 🦉🎄

Happy flossmas everybody ❤

So excited to start the Holiday Countdown!! Jacob is a talented man indeed!!

Your blanket is lovely! I think I saw you start it back in the day when you were part of Fibre Friends!

Ya for blanket progress! So lovely.

💝💝💝

Hi Caroline, looking forward to the journey through Advent with you once again, maybe next year I'll be sufficiently organised enough to order this box from you and join in
Oh and thanks for mentioning/showing the Talon Blanket from Brooklyn Tweed!!!!!! That's now in my OneDrive folder 😀

My first time participating and it’s been lots of fun so far! I’m excited to discover how the stitched design comes to life. Thank you all for creating this for us!

My first year participating and I’m starting a bit late since I was traveling. This looks like so much fun! Thank you for the charity ornament info - bought it right away and happy to donate to such a worthy cause. Fingers crossed I can keep up with the holiday SAL! Love seeing your knitting … the socks are awesome (love the stripes) and the afghan pattern is amazing.
