Knit Life Balance

Hi Everyone!
My name is Kristen and this is my channel, DoSo Knits Podcast, where I talk about all my knitting adventurers.
I am a military spouse, dog mom, and avid knitting enthusiast.

Recently I have delved deep into the rabbit hole of my hobby...lifestyle... knitting. I want to share all my progress with anyone who is willing to listen. Between my blog, Instagram, and this podcast, I hope you can find something that inspires you to create!

Happy Knitting!

I am excited to share that in 2026, I am updating my handle!
I have used the name DoSo Knits since 2020, when I started my YouTube Channel.

A play on my last name, Dussault, which the French pronunciation sounds like "DoSo"
However, with the new year, I am feeling a rebrand to align with what I feel my knitting means to me.

I am updating my handles to be "Knit. Life. Balance"
I feel like this update aligns with how I view my knitting: incorporating it into my life and finding an overall balance with work, school, and life in general.

I am excited and invigorated by this little change, and I hope you are as well!
It is the same person behind this little corner of the internet, but with a slightly different name.


The logo is still a work in progress 😊

Hi Everyone!
I just wanted to let you know that I realized I have been missing the "Place adds Automatically" checkbox on all my recent videos.

This led to YouTube automatically placing way more ad spots than I ever intended...
I am so sorry.

I have gone through all my recent videos and removed the automatically placed ad spots - this means each video now has 1-3 ad spots vs. before there were about 50.

I do so apologize for not catching this sooner, but YouTube did present this in a way that even though I was adding manual spots - at break points I set - and adding the automatic ones on top of my manual ones.

I hope removing these will make your viewing experience more enjoyable.
Also, if you ever encounter a video with numerous ads, please let me know and I will gladly check the settings.

Hi Friends!
I know I am one week behind on my normally scheduled knitting podcasts.. I apologize. Last weekend, I totally missed my normal recording time.

My plan was to record this weekend, but alas, I know I have a cold 🤒
So... no podcast this weekend. Depending on how quickly I jump back, a vlog might be in the works, but otherwise, I am hoping to record a "normal" episode next weekend.

I hope you all have a lovely weekend and are well!

Hi Friends! Happy 2023!

I've spent a lot of the day thinking about something I find very exciting.

I would like to open Memberships on my channel in 2023.

What this means, for a monthly fee, you as a member of the Channel get access to some exclusive content from me!

I will be keeping my normal podcast and video content free on the channel, but as a member you just get additional and exclusive behind the scenes content.



These are some of the perks I was considering with membership:
*Exclusive knit a longs
*A discord server to connect with other knitters
*Member polls about things you'd like to see on the channel
*exclusive live videos twice a month about what I'm knitting and thoughts. Plus it's a live so the chat is open while I'm sitting down and chatting with you
* a monthly zoom knit day/night



I'm thinking of having a couple different tier options so you can pick the benefits you find the most fun and that fits your budget The smallest tier in the range of $3-$5 and the highest $12-$15



I would love to connect with you all you connect with me by watching my videos and on my Instagram.

So what do you think? Would you join as a member? Are there any bonus content or features you'd like to see?

Let me know!

Hi All!
I had plans of editing a podcast this evening, but I've been hit my one of those debilitating kind of head aches.

The plan now is to edit throughout the week and a new episode should be up for the weekend 😊❤️

Hi Friends! 👋

I just wanted to update and say that my June stash in and out has not been forgotten!

It has been a busy couple of weeks, so I am planning to combine the June and July Stash in and out videos together.

I am hoping to record a podcast too before the end of the month hits!!

Thank you all for the live and patience ❤️

Hi All!
So, in lieu of a podcast this week, I am planning a vlog as I participate in the Curio Sock Challenge hosted by Andrea Mowry over this Thanksgiving holiday.

I am also planning to vlog during Decembet for vlogmas, although, I have not determined if it will be daily or not.
With all these vlogs, I may not sit down for a "typical" podcast until the new year, but who knows?

I will definitely show a bunch of knitting and finished Objects throughout the vlogs though and I hope you all will join and enjoy these more relaxed videos!
