Oh your Starflake looks so good! Well done. I love that you've increased to 15 rounds of rib for the cuff - we'll see you knitting 20 rounds in no time! 🤣 And you should absolutely go up a needle size for SW shawls - I do for almost all of them now and I never run out of yarn.
There is a WONDERFUL ending to the book about the octopus and the woman caring for him. Stay with it! And I have never knit at the movies. I want to be engrossed in the movie 😊
finished the second half now so second comment. I am a newish knitter, 3 pairs of socks under my belt, two more on the needles. I wanted to try every technique, started with magic loop, liked that, then for pair 3 tried the 9" circular and I am hooked! Love it! What is it with knitting socks that is so .... wonderful! just love it! Happy upcoming birthday, I just turned 60 and it doesn't seem possible. I am still waiting to feel like a grown up!
I love doing 9in. needles in the theater, but also, bringing a Musselburgh that the increases are finished on, you can just motor on that stockinette. :)
Happy Birthday Month, Lisa! I love that new Stephen West shawl pattern, but I'm mostly avoiding shawl knitting these days, so I'm excited to see what you do with it.
I'm not one to swear myself, but your daughter probably hears more swearing at school than she reads in books! Keep her reading!!! Enjoyed your pod, as usual!
Hello Lisa, from Swansea, Illinois. Most of my socks don’t match. I did get an email from Knit Picks that they are going to bring back Felici in new colors soon.
your prediction of "Remarkably Bright Creatures" has me ddeeeeaadddd. hahaha! (I've read the book and I really enjoyed it. I hope you end up liking it too!)
Hello Lisa. Love your SOCK knitting and the green shawl is very focused and beautiful. Im new subscriber. Bondi Crafter from Sydney Australia. PS I'm 71 and I think and feel sometimes like I'm 23. A birthday coming in Sept for me.
Have you ever tried 12”? Those are my go to needles. I do a knit round after cast on to make joining easier and then start my ribbing. And I use flexi flips for the toes. Highly recommend trying I love the chiaogoo or addi needles.
Hi Lisa, I knit magic loop socks in the movie theater. I just did this on Sunday to see despicable me 4. It was quite cute. I don’t rib or do the heel there but plain stockinette works great. Your hands know what to do. You can feel the first stitch on the left hand to begin the round on each needle and you’re off! I too love self striping and your monster scrappy socks look great. I’ve only done one pair like that and it was so fun to have unique stripes all the way down!
Hi glad to see you. I have pumpkin spice in fort Walton Beach Florida. I guess we are trying anything to cool off (104) hot pumpkin spice coffee should do it. Working on fall projects, socks and x stitch pumpkins. Coming to michigan in November. Love to see your socks. I only made 12 pairs for camp.
Lisa I knit magic loop in the theater all the time. No one has ever said anything to me that they are distracting. By the way I got dishes done while watching/listening to you today❤
Good morning Lisa. As a suggestion regarding mohair, it is a very nice yarn and extremely nice the way it feels, but as you stated that you didn't like it. And that's alright. It's somewhat sticky held together with a sock yarn. So to say you might want to use it you might want to swatch a square for yourself. If you knit with it in a project and find out you just don't prefer the way it feels, I wouldn't consider using it. So nice to hear you had a weekend alone for yourself. Not everyone has that kind of solo experience too often. Small talk and I can dwell upon an extreme introvert like myself and absolutely rub me the wrong way. Family does not matter all the time with me. Prayers for fall, prayers for everyone's stash, prayers for rain ☔ 🌧️
I don’t knit in the theater (probably because I don’t go to the theater lol). I do get thumb pain from 9” circulars when making socks…but I just can’t get the hang of magic loop. Ladders galore and it takes the joy out. So I deal with it.
I really enjoy your podcast Sometimes I knit other times I crochet when watching your podcast it's winter here and I am looking forward to spring but not summer 😅 I am so grateful that my girls have a school uniform and we don't have to worry about what to wear for school 😂 My heart goes out to you clothes shopping with teenage girls I have some and I gave up giving suggestions or opinions
Lisa! The best part of my Monday. I always go up a needle size on the MKAL too because I'm also a tight knitter. I also always have a ton of yarn leftover. Usually so much that I end up modifying the final part to add even more than he suggests. Big shawls and using up more yarn is a win-win.
I do like all your knits, but the Opal socks and the scrappy socks for Amie are just gorgeous 😍 I have found that the best thing to knit in the cinema is a plain cowl on a 14” or 16” circular needle. Jinny - UK
Hi, Lisa! Love the Opal socks! The Osaka socks look great! Love the green with the grays. High 5! Star flake is gorgeous! Check the yardage for the mohair. I need the Dr Who yarn in my life. I loved that book! It was really good. Have a great week! ❤❤
I too am ready for Fall! My favorite things about Summer are sleeping in, no school schedule and when it ends. 😂 I’ve never knit in a movie theater, never really wanted to either.
Hi Lisa! I saw the new Deadpool movie with my son over the weekend and loved it, hope you enjoyed it too! I took my Musselburgh with me on 16” circs and got a lot of knitting done at the cinema. I usually take vanilla socks but don’t have any on the needles at the moment, both pairs I have are patterned. I first learned to knit without looking by taking magic loop vanilla socks to the cinemas when the boys were younger and we went each school holidays together. These days, I’m more likely to use a 9” circ for movie knitting as I’ve gotten used to them, but could really do either.
My teenage son bought some sort of adapter to play his Spotify in our minivan that only had a CD player and radio. He ordered it on Amazon. It might change your life! I'll ask him what it is called. Now, I always knit and sip coffee while watching your podcast.
Okay, basically it allows you to uae your radio to broadcast from your phone. these are the descriptors under the product, I don't think I can share link: "Bluetooth 5.3 FM Transmitter for Car, 3.0 Wireless Bluetooth FM Radio Adapter Music Player FM Transmitter/Car Kit with Hands-Free Calling and 2 USB Ports Charger Support USB Drive"
Good morning Lisa! I think you would be fine if you go up to a size 5 needle. I could be wrong but I think you actually use less yarn when you go up a needle size because you have bigger holes. If you are a tight knitter and always have extra yarn you should be fine either way. Have a great day. Also, I do magic loop everywhere I go…. Movies, hockey games, etc.
Hello Lisa. If you're skeptical and say you don't like knitting with mohair, I would go with that. It appears in this podcast that you might consider it. For one thing knitting with mohair and a sock weight yarn can get sticky and coarse. I would knit a square swatch and see if you like it. It would be terrible if you started the project and didn't like what was going on. 😮
Happy birthday month Lisa! I am also an August baby, but at the very end (30th of August) :) Just thought I'll warn you about Forth Wing by Rebecca Yarros (Ive heard they are filming Netflix series) I wouldn't recommend it to 12year old either.
Agree about the Fourth wing series. St Nick accidentally bought 2 books for the family and I am so thankful I read them first! The kids gave me a lot of flack on that.

I’m fairly new to knitting (about a year), so I’m trying to always learn. Can I ask why you knit the sock from the outside of the yarn ball and the heel from the inside? Thank you so much for your podcast 😊
@@knitalltheyarnpodcast5512 Ahhhh, thank you. I’m learning so much from you 😄 And this is my birthday month, too. 8/26, for me. And I’ll be 71, almost twins 🤣😂 Stay with Remarkably Bright Creatures. It is very good 😌
Mohair is lace weight. You might be able to just eliminate altogether. Lace plus fingering is equal to sport weight. Two fingerings might be too thick.
The shawl is looking fantastic!!!
Hi Lisa, you can always knit on a Musselburgh hat at the movies, use a 16 inch cord all knit in the round. Happy knitting, Petra

Yes! I agree! She’s probably heard everything at school. 🙄
A Musselburgh hat is perfect for the movie theater! Just knit round and round on a 16" needle.
Yes! I forgot about the Musselburgh! 🤣
I still do two at a time, toe up, magic loop knitting at the movie theatre (and the live theatre, and everywhere)

I think I will try it this year. Unless he suggests using a size 5. 😆
Nope, I can magic loop in the movies. You definitely could too. I also can’t get the hang of 9inch.

I’m a magic looper but keep trying the 9” circular needles too… thinking it will click one of these days!? 😅
I knit magic loop in the movies! I also can't use 9" circs at all, they kill my hands.
I too am ready for Fall! My favorite things about Summer are sleeping in, no school schedule and when it ends. 😂 I’ve never knit in a movie theater, never really wanted to either.
Those scrappy socks are amazeballs!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
the way i sometimes feel like i'm third-wheeling you guys's friendship. but also, thanks for letting us be here for it. fan of you both :)
@@therapybycraft I love a good third wheel!! Thanks for watching us! 😊
I do TAAT on magic loop. I really wanted to like 9 in but I never got it to be 100% comfortable for me.
Yes, August means fall for me too!! I am casting on my first pair of Freckled Whimsy Halloween socks today, in fact! 🍂🧡🖤👻💚💜🎃
I caked up the first Halloween skein from Freckled Whimsy today! It will be the next sock I cast on! 🎃

A musselburgh would be great for movie theater knitting! I loved Deadpool & Wolverine! 😆
Your shawl is gorgeous. You could probably duplicate stitch over that mistake so it won’t be visible.
I, have a few 9 inch, but my tension is off! Plus with my arthritis in my hands😖😥

I do Magic Loop in the theater. Give it a try.
Sorry for the second message…you can buy a device that plugs into your cigarette lighter and blue tooth’s to your radio.
Oooo!! I’ll have to look into that!
@@knitalltheyarnpodcast5512, they are pretty inexpensive on Amazon.
Target has pumpkin spice
Can you freeze coffee creamer? If so, you could freeze a small cache for the lean times.
It says do not freeze on the bottle.
😪 Too bad.

I’m fairly new to knitting (about a year), so I’m trying to always learn. Can I ask why you knit the sock from the outside of the yarn ball and the heel from the inside? Thank you so much for your podcast 😊
I do this so it doesn’t break the stripe sequence down the foot of the sock.

Mohair is lace weight. You might be able to just eliminate altogether. Lace plus fingering is equal to sport weight. Two fingerings might be too thick.
