Lauren 00:00:00 - 00:00:02
Wait. What's this? Wait. What?
Lauren 00:00:04 - 00:00:05
Woah.
Lauren 00:00:07 - 00:00:35
Hey, guys. What's up? It's Lauren, and welcome back to my channel, and also welcome back to DIY Master episode number 2. Episode number 2. That's 4. Episode we're we're not there. It's it's only episode number 2. So if you missed episode 1 of DIY Master, this is the show where I put my DIY skills up to the test against DIYs that are bigger and harder and more difficult than any DIY that I've ever done on my channel. Episode 1 was interesting.
Lauren 00:00:36 - 00:00:53
I just found out I was supposed to do 2 on every one. Yeah. She super does too. I'm not independent. I don't know if I can go on. Oh. So if you missed that, make sure to go watch that. Also, yes, I am aware that I had dark, dark hair for a hot 6 seconds, 6 days to be exact.
Lauren 00:00:54 - 00:01:20
And, now we're at this. And when I filmed the actual DIY portion of this video, I had the hair before the dark hair. It is exhausting being indecisive. Let me tell you. Anyways, I'm so excited for you guys to see the DIY that I attempted, and let's just hop right in. Just me and my my ball of yarn. Honestly, guys, I thought this is gonna be so different, but it's kinda like the Santa beard knit fabric. I'm really stressed.
Lauren 00:01:20 - 00:01:36
Also, guys, I'd like practice with a piece of yarn. Not gonna lie, there's a little bit of homework beforehand, but like I I I This this definitely could be the first one that is a fail. I'm a little unsure. Honestly though, if we pull this off, I'm gonna quit my job and just open an Etsy store that just sells big chunky knit blankets. And I make
Lauren 00:01:38 - 00:01:40
this my full time job because, they're too expensive and I'm not
Lauren 00:01:40 - 00:01:56
trying to pay a bajillion dollars for a blanket. Honestly, those are so soft. If this does work, people have a sick blanket. The lady said 4 lengths. So one 2, 3, 4. Big giant ball. Honestly, like, what do you have for how heavy
Lauren 00:01:56 - 00:01:58
this is? I'm gonna try to look
Lauren 00:02:00 - 00:02:09
So heavy. Wait. Do I remember gonna do this? Okay. And then she was like holding it, like and was this right? No. No. Okay. Like this and then like this. No.
Lauren 00:02:09 - 00:02:23
Wait. I gotta watch the latest video again. So we do it like this, and like this. Yep. Like this. Like this. Sorry? No. This is where like you could potentially get myself real quick.
Lauren 00:02:23 - 00:02:32

Lauren 00:02:33 - 00:02:34

Lauren 00:02:38 - 00:02:44
Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. Got got got it. We're back. We're back. We're back. 1 and 2.
Lauren 00:02:44 - 00:02:55
Oh, my gosh. Guys, it's happening. It's super happening. Oh, yeah. Guys, we got it. We got it. Is this kind of what I picture like a unicorn
Lauren 00:02:55 - 00:02:55
mane to feel like. Also, I used
Lauren 00:02:55 - 00:02:58
to knit, like, these little mini scarves because I was too impatient
Lauren 00:02:58 - 00:02:58
to knit an actual scarf when I was, like, 12, and I'm just,
Lauren 00:02:58 - 00:03:04
like, feeling very nostalgic right now. But I definitely didn't use my arm to knit. I definitely, like, use needles like a regular person
Lauren 00:03:09 - 00:03:10
does it.
Lauren 00:03:10 - 00:03:21
How many do we have? 1234567. Halfway there. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Oh, this is the end. Wait. What? This is the end? Oh, no. That's right.
Lauren 00:03:21 - 00:03:25
Is that right? Yeah. That's right. Wait. What's this? Wait. What? Woah.
Lauren 00:03:29 - 00:03:33
Did I rip my head? What are you? Oh my god.
Lauren 00:03:33 - 00:03:36
Maybe because it's like cobwebs I ripped it. No.
Lauren 00:03:37 - 00:03:46
I'm so sad. I have a whole sleeve of wool. That is so sad. I'm so sad. Yo. I'm so sad. Oh, no. Okay.
Lauren 00:03:46 - 00:03:47
Let's try it again.
Lauren 00:03:50 - 00:04:07
I've created a new sleeve, and I've got lots of slack because we're not gonna break the cobweb again. That was some BS. I'm still sad my heart about it. But honestly, this took like 4 seconds. It's also so soft. Like, if I ever move back to Canada, I'm just gonna make myself a whole sweater of this. Okay. So I'm gonna watch that lady do the next part because this is the part I did not practice.
Lauren 00:04:07 - 00:04:11
Also, guys, I'm literally just, like, transferring this whole thing onto the other arm.
Lauren 00:04:11 - 00:04:19
Okay. Woah, lady. Going crazy. What just happened? What? What? What? What? Yeah.
Lauren 00:04:20 - 00:04:36
Then she's taking this back guy. What is going on there? What is that step? Pulls it up. Goes around. Oh. Oh. Oh. And then this one goes over. Oh.
Lauren 00:04:36 - 00:04:40
I see. I see. I see. Okay. And then woah. Woah.
Lauren 00:04:40 - 00:04:42
Things are going crazy.
Lauren 00:04:42 - 00:04:52
Is this right? Oh, God. I need to back it up. I need to back it up. Okay. Wait. And here, I missed, like, one split second, and now I all messed up. Okay. So I did that already.
