Good to see you back! You have a convivial charm that is most welcome and you exude great enthusiasm for your work. Don't stop being you and please keep making these videos so we can see more of you and your work.
These look absolutely lovely. The colour scheme is superb. I very much like how the 'hidden' parts have little to no dye. It gives an added depth to the knit. You have inspired me to take the leap and knit sweaters. (I've had enough of flat knit projects, and hats). At the end of last year I have finished my first sweater (historical pattern), and now I've got the sweater bug. I'm actually finishing off the sleeves on a Tincan knits sweater for my husband (you've praised the pattern enough to make me want to give it a go), and I am absolutely in love with top-down sweater knitting, and plan another Tincan sweater for myself. Thank you!
I watched Sunday but needed a few days to think about a dream project. I have two things I want to try, I want to write a pattern. I have had an idea, but I never full sat with it. I also want to knit an Estonian lace shawl. And thirdly I want learn how to spin and then knit a cowl with the yarn I spun.
Congrats on the socks!! They look great. I recently bought a skein of Parade Malabrigo Sock, thinking it would be great as a 2x2 ribbed sock. I’ve frogged it around 4 times because it wasn’t turning out like I had it in my head. I decided to add a white fingering weight yarn with it (inspired by your thickmas socks) and now it’s working up beautifully!! I’m so excited to have them done!
Very cool. Your socks are fabulous. So are you planning on doing any more podcasts with your partner? I’m really missing them. I just thought they were so wonderful.
I’ve been knitting for 10 years and am only just finishing my first sweater. I’ve been so afraid I would give up on such a big project and wasn’t sure I wanted to invest in so much yarn. I’m so glad I did and already have plans for a new cardigan when I’m finished!
I've been a beginner knitter for years and started knitting because I wanted to knit sweaters. January 1, 2022 I finally cast on my first sweater. Thank you for inspiring me to be brave and have the confidence to do this!
I recently started crocheting a pair of socks that I have had in mind for maybe 3 years 🙈 I only just started but I seriously love it! I’m not sure why I waited so long.
Love these!! You may have mentioned but I haven't seen it, but what yarn did you use to make these? They turned out fantastic and just might give me a push to play with dying. Thank you for this video!
Socks do look great. For me, the best part was the demystifying of the dyeing process. I've had a wonderful stash of acid dyes and equipment sitting in my cupboard for WAY too long. I've been intimidated by what I, too, saw as the need for precision measuring of the dyes. Somehow no matter how many times I read about the process, I didn't feel calmed down. This was perfect! This I CAN do!! Thank you. I get so much out of all of your videos (and I am a very experienced fiber artist. Spinning, Weaving, Knitting for years)! I always find something of interest. I hope you feel accomplished and proud. You've really created something wonderful here. Looking forward to whatever you have in store! All the best!
Wow! Thank you so much... that is such a lovely compliment 💚 And you should absolutely give dyeing a try... I linked some of the resources that I used to learn the little I know back when I was giving it a bit more thought. I still watch Taylor Seeking Cozy and Chemknits just because they're enjoyable. I hope you pull out those dyes and have a great time!
@@DrowninginYarn will definitely give them a look and when (not if) I do get to that dyeing, I'll try to remember to come back to this video and let ya' know!
I've held off on knitting socks but now you have dyed them, I really want to knit a pair of socks but I can not find what so ever a worsted weight pattern for men, It seems like everything is 3.5mm or smaller. Could you please help a desperate man 🙏
You inspired me a few months ago to start knitting sweaters. I am on my 3rd one and now I have a sweater addiction to go along with my sock problem. Truly want to thank you! :)
Thank you!!! You definitely should... I love thick socks and they're such a great way to use up all that stashed yarn! I love to split a skein and I can get a pair out of one skein and they work up so quickly.
My terror project this past year was a colorwork sweater! I had tried in the past and had to unravel an entire sweater. But I'm so happy I tried my hand at it - I now have a wonderful sweater to wear all day long
Nice to see you back. Loved watching your process. It was interesting dyeing on a finished project. It provided better color choices and control. Thanks for sharing.👏👏🧶
So happy to see you back!! Hope your Holidays were good. Love your sock project - it turned out beautifully! Wishing you every happiness in this New Year.
What a beautiful project!! My dream project is to learn to knit socks period. I just haven’t been able to master knitting as yet. I crochet all the time but knitting is something I want to learn. Thanks for the great video of your process.
I’m so happy to see you have posted again, Caleb. This makes me want to try this technique. I actually think I could do this….I love making socks and this would be a way to making it strictly my own. Thanks for sharing…..🤗❤️🙋
Those turned out beautiful. Many years ago I dyed fabrics for quilting. Very fun but I have been trying to resist dying yarn, dying the finished product is intriguing though.
It was so good to see you had posted today. This looks like such a fun project. I have dip dyed a double knit sock blank before but the heel flap and turn broke things up. This is a brilliant idea and you socks are gorgeous . Thank you for sharing.
Your socks really look great. I have only dyed with avocado and another time with dried onion skins. It's so exciting when you see the final color. My dream project was an Irish sweater with a variety of patterns. I moved a few months ago and actually found the instructions from way back when. Now I am dreaming of making it again
Great to see you back. Thanks for talking through your process. Dying has always come across as complicated but your method is really simple. It’s one of those ideas I have is to dye my own fabric and yarn so this video has given me the confidence to try. I’ve had an idea for a fabric (wool) hat in the back of my mind for a long time and I finally asked myself how long do I need to think about it! Anyway I’m working on the embroidery at the moment and hope to have it finished by the end of the month. I’ve also just finished my first knitting design for a knitted hat so I’m going to write up the pattern and publish it. It’s funny how once we commit to something it feeds our imagination and one design/idea always leads to another.

It's now very common to see a man knitting where I live.
So cool to see all these excitement and joy in your eyes!
Thanks for sharing!
Welcome back, the socks turned out gorgeous. Your joy at the end result is apparent & infections.
Thank you so much :-)
Missed you! Thought the yarn had really finished you off! 😂 nice to see you still knitting
Thanks Caleb, I really appreciate your videos, they are full of great information. Love your 🧦 fade.
Good to see you back! You have a convivial charm that is most welcome and you exude great enthusiasm for your work. Don't stop being you and please keep making these videos so we can see more of you and your work.
Thank you! Will do! ☺️💚
It’s so good to see you back at it again! Hope your holidays and new year were great. LOVE LOVE LOVE the job you did on those socks!!
Thank you! I hope you had a lovely holiday season as well :-)

Is there any way to knit the pair simultaneously? I hate to finish one and then start another one, which will not be exactly like the prior one.

Hey Caleb..love the socks..and I love dying yarn..love the color of these socks.
Thank you!!! Have you ever dyed a finished object?
Congrats on the socks!! They look great.

That sounds so awesome! I love holding white yarn together with something a bit more colorful... I'm so glad it's working for you :-)
Very cool. Your socks are fabulous. So are you planning on doing any more podcasts with your partner? I’m really missing them. I just thought they were so wonderful.
Thanks for the compliment! We will likely do a video in the next few weeks together 😊
I’ve been knitting for 10 years and am only just finishing my first sweater. I’ve been so afraid I would give up on such a big project and wasn’t sure I wanted to invest in so much yarn. I’m so glad I did and already have plans for a new cardigan when I’m finished!
That's so awesome! Finishing a sweater is such an accomplishment and feels great :-)
Awesome! Those socks looks so unique. Thanks for sharing this exercise in dip dying … great work. ❤️😃
Thank you! It was a fun process and I enjoyed making this video :-)
I've been a beginner knitter for years and started knitting because I wanted to knit sweaters. January 1, 2022 I finally cast on my first sweater. Thank you for inspiring me to be brave and have the confidence to do this!
Oh that is so awesome! I hope you are enjoying the process!
Love them! Especially how the ribbing took the color. Since you held your yarn double did you use a DK pattern or change your stitch count?
The pattern is written for holding two strands of fingering weight together so no adjustments are needed :-)
I recently started crocheting a pair of socks that I have had in mind for maybe 3 years 🙈 I only just started but I seriously love it! I’m not sure why I waited so long.
The important thing is that you are doing it now :-) Sounds awesome! I have never tried crocheting socks... maybe I will one day.
Love these!! You may have mentioned but I haven't seen it, but what yarn did you use to make these? They turned out fantastic and just might give me a push to play with dying. Thank you for this video!
Thank you! I ordered the yarn from dyersupplier.com. It was just a 75% wool / 25% nylon fingering weight yarn that I held double.
I ❤️ these socks and you explained it so well. LURV 🤗😊
Thank you! 😊
I’ve missed you!! Glad you’re back.
😊 thank you
They look great, Caleb! Makes me want to give it a try! Just bought the sock pattern 😊
Thank you! And you totally should! It was so fun!

Thank you! Natural dyeing is so cool... and I am wishing you luck on that Irish sweater!

These look AMAZING! I love the color you went with. I also have been continuously hearing about this pattern so I might try it out soon!
You definitely should. Also, check out the Thicksgiving Sock set from last year (also from Summer Lee)... I knit a couple of those as well :-)
Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. I always learn something new when I watch your videos!
I'm so happy you find my videos useful! Thanks for watching!
Well done Caleb your socks look lovely ❤️🔥💚💚💚
