    Sock train 🚂 yay
    Ugh. Now I have NON- buyers remorse. Seeing all of your Christmas self striping socks. I can’t wait to see how they turn out. I put aside small scraps of yarn to make my own.

    I agree with you on that Felicini yarn as I am not a huge fan of micro/variegated color ways and actually none of the color ways struck me as must haves. I’m so glad you’re on the sock 🧦 train 🚂 as they really make my day to see yours.

    I'm here early! Lol ..I will say I'm loving the base of felicini despite the weird ball band situation. I'm getting 2 rounds per stripe. I do 56 stitches for me on a US 1.5. k, now back to watching the rest haha

    Good Morning Michigan. Hello Lisa. Yes. I have knit the Arne and Carlos color way some time last year. The #03657 is called Summer Nights. Knit all the yarn podcast and stay home. I like that one Lisa. Thinking of joining the freckled whimsy club for December or January. Will check out their website sometime today. Happy Thanksgiving Lisa and family. Many blessings. Take care. Prayers for or rain. Ken🎉

    I’m right there with you on the new Knit Picks Felici. It’s a no go replacement! If I want a thin stripe product, I’ll knit a variegated yarn that I know will micro stripe.

    Thanks to you, I have started caking all my commercial yarns. I HATE pulling from the center because #yarnvomit and it’s so difficult to pull from the outside of those fat skeins.

    I am knitting my WYS Nutcracker socks as I watch your episode this morning. This is my second time using their Christmas yarn, and i love the feel of it. I still haven't knit last year's Gingerbread skein.
    I think I'll wind up my Cozy Knitter Advent today. I'll do like last year...watch a podcast while I'm doing it so I'm not paying attention to the yarn. I might do like last year...start knitting a stripe per day, but begin a week before Dec 1.
    Twenty years ago I was into reading epic fantasy series. I think I should give Fourth Wing a try since so many people go on about it 😃. I'm trying to do more audible so i can knit at the same time. So far I'm not succeeding at it.

    You can do one of your mystery skeins if you knit all your Christmas yarn!!

      Ooo! That’s a good idea! I was also thinking of scrappy socks. I have to knit all the cuffs on my advent socks too. 😉

    I’m loving the Felicini yarn. I’m getting 2-3 rounds per stripe. I love that I don’t have to buy two balls of it for socks. One of my biggest gripes with Felici was the huge difference in colors in each skein, so even if you bought two in the same dye lot for socks, they might not look the same. With the 100g skein I don’t have to worry about it. I’ve only caked up one skein of it so far, and it had two knots in it. But so does Felici so I’m trying not to complain about that. But I’ve knit it up, and it feels just like Felici and to be honest the smaller stripes makes it go by even faster it seems. Overall, I’m happy with it!

    I learned the hard way about commercialish yarn. My first striping yarn had 3 knots and a totally broken off piece they didn’t knot back together. This all happened in the cuff and leg of the first sock. Foot was fine, as is the leg of the second sock. At the point of picking up for the gusset of the second sock. They’re for my husband so they don’t have to be perfectly matched, but it really bugs me.

    The thinner stripes in Felicini is disappointing and unusable for me because I use self-striping yarn for Musselburgh hats -- if some stripes won't make it around a hat even once, it's no longer a striped hat, it's just a mess

    When you were showing the Shifting Chevrons shawl, I thought "I wonder what home-made socks she's wearing. Oh, she should show the socks of the day too!". But the weird RUclips trolls have a foot thing (or so I've heard) so not sure of a good way to show-off your homemade socks. Take it off and wave it around?? 🤣🤣

    I've started with the sample of Fourth Wing to make sure I actually wanted to read it. I don't always love fantasy but I've finished the first chapter and I like it so far.

    If you do not mind can you please let me know what yarn you use from Knit Picks for your Dk socks. Thanks! Happy Thanksgiving!

    I dont mind the stripes on the Felicini however i likes the thick stripes better. The colors all remind me of a 1970s sofa. Surprised these are their debut color choices…. Wont be buying….

    I saw the new felici and said "ooo Lisa isn't gonna like this!" I don't like them either.

    I love watching your podcast and look forward to seeing your projects. But, there were SO MANY ads this time. Ugh! Is it just me? Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving and happy knitting!

      I’m sorry about that. I don’t have any control on the ads. It’s all RUclips. 😒

    I went and checked projects on ravelry, which weren't many. But some people only had 2 rows per color. Ew. Thats not okay. I saw another where it barely made 1.5 rows on a sock. This is so un-useful. Can't even make fun hats now because it will all be broken looking.

      Knitpicks really messed up with this one. I hope they bring back the old Felici. But I’m not holding my breath. 🤦🏻‍♀️

    I don't like the look of the new Felici substitute yarn either.

  • @karenknitspodcast
    @karenknitspodcast Год назад

    Not a fan of the Felici replacement at all. I like the "normal" striping not skinny stripes. Won't be buying any of the new stuff!
