    This episode is why I love your YT channel. Tidbits of information that are so useful: knit socks and Musselburgh hat slightly smaller due to natural stretching of the fabric. As a newbie knitter, I need all the help I can get. Thanks.

    I am so close to finishing my 11th pair of socks for the year. My goal was 12, so I don't know that I'll make that, but considering I had only ever knit ONE pair of socks before, I'm thrilled. Using your DK Vanilla pattern, magic loop. I've never made DK socks, never done magic loop anything. I'm using a mini set, and your videos encouraged me to not worry about making them all matchy. So I just enjoyed the process on the first sock, weighed the yarn, and figured out how to make the second one with what I had left.
    It would never have occurred to me that I could do that. So this is my thank you note to you.
    Also, I am a mix of comfort yarning and "learn something new" projects. I don't want a huge challenge really, but I really do need to have at least one WIP that is pushing me to learn a little something new.

    I completely agree with you. The calming of my mind during vanilla sock knitting can’t be beat. So soothing!

    Happy Friday!! Love that green from knitpicks and that yarn able colorway is so fun! I have so many projects but right now my major focus is the mine Cowell that I am trying to get off the needles for mom‘s birthday next month. I also have a Musselburgh hat on the needles as well as socks that I have for my Church knitting. Have a wonderful weekend.

    Love your videos :) - I have a goal for 2025 to knit a pair of socks every month and today signed up for my first yarn club - it has a gods and goddess theme.

    I just finished my first Musselburgh and am loving it! I used non-super wash yarn for extra warmth. We live near the beach and it’s very cool and humid in the winter. Your lovely hats have inspired me!

    Working on a Musselburgh hat. I just finished my Christmas socks! My husband is also a Dr Who fan and am knitting him a blanket with an advent from FolkYarn Studio named “All of Time and Space”! Each day comes with a quote from one f the Doctors!

    The Musselburgh looks great on you, it matches your eyes so well so I think you should keep it! As always, thanks for the project inspiration!

    Your blanket looks so cozy and pretty, perfect for lap knitting this time of year like you said..... I really enjoy playing with scraps and minis so I may have to add that pattern to my list for a long term project 😊

  • @deborahsimpson2732
    @deborahsimpson2732 7 часов назад

    OK. I don't feel so bad. I haven't finished my November yarnable socks yet. Thanks for the "permission" to be behind one month; hahahaha. Straight garter stitch allows for experimenting with different types of yarn which is so great. Knitting is calming for me as well.

    Kayla thank you for the number.I asked the stitch count earlier for the blanket because I had to pause the video to attend the senior breakfast at the Y before the blanket segment appeared. Hopefully I can start sometime during the holiday season. Who knows, maybe even today while watching Hawaii Five O reruns.

  • @ellenfuller4393

    Would you please consider making a video for us when you make your next muscelburg hat. Id love to see how you start it with your cast on method. Love the color!

    • @CrazySockLady
      @CrazySockLady  Час назад

      Nope, I won’t be doing any videos for that hat. I just cast on the stitches you start with (it says in the pattern) and do it magic loop. Close up any gaps when I weave in the starting tail of yarn. That’s all there is to it.

  • @kimsmith5716

    Lovely episode as always. I enjoyed a cup of coffee and finished up the last repeat on your Slip Away cowl pattern that I'm making for myself. Such an addictive pattern! I love the scarves you're making. They've picked great colors. God bless❤

    I truly love knitting… All knitting. But there’s something so calming about lots of time with straight stockinet. I call it my mindless knitting, not a very complementary project name! Enjoy the video as always, it’s always so fun to open up the computer computer and find a new video usually filled with socks!

  • @normawoodburn9430

  • @elaineenstone6834
    @elaineenstone6834 4 часа назад

    I agree that knitting is calming but also like to be able to extend my knowledge and ability. So I always have several projects on the needles in varying degrees of difficulty. 🇬🇧

  • @susanwestfall5519
    @susanwestfall5519 7 часов назад

    I’m accumulating a lot of row one minis so I’ve decided to start a dk weights Cozy memory blanket knitting from both ends just like you do. Glad I got some signature size 5 needles before they closed shop. I looked on your ravelry project page but you didn’t have the number of stitches you cast on for dk weight. How many stitches did you cast on? I do 46 for my fingering weight blanket.

    • @CrazySockLady
      @CrazySockLady  6 часов назад

      I think I mentioned it in this video, 40 stitches. 🧶

    How do you finish the edges of the coziest memories blanket? I don't crochet and have not decided on the best method.

    • @CrazySockLady
      @CrazySockLady  3 часа назад

      Not sure if you mean a border on the blanket or the start and end of rows on a square. I have details for how I start and end my rows on the ravelry project page.

    • @sandybuttacavoli2761
      @sandybuttacavoli2761 2 часа назад

      @CrazySockLady sorry, I meant a border. Not all my edges came together as neatly as I would have liked. Just feels like it needs something to make it look finished.

    @courtniebri Час назад

    Would you have a recommendation for straight needles that may be similar to the Signature ones? By the time I knew they were going out of business the sized I'd want were all gone! I can't seem to find shorter straight needles.

      I’m sorry, I’m not sure what you mean by stripe? You mean on the wrong side of the blanket? Like the seam? I just let that do its thing.
