When I saw your mini skein set it reminded me of HHF gorgeous yarn. It would be so cute to do a couple pairs of faded socks like in Summer Lee’s book. Your pupper is absolutely precious!
Seeing your children with that puppy just warms my heart! What a wonderful relationship they’ll all have. I was watching The Creabea yesterday and she has designed a simple colorwork sweater designed to use Advent yarns. It’s beautiful! It’s just in testing now, so it may not be what you’re looking for if you want to start something right away. I did a swap last year, I’m passing on it this year, but I hope you do the swap again next year!
Hi Justine! Loved seeing your kiddos, the new puppy and your Rhinebeck haul!! I feel like you did well - I don’t think you bought too much. And I’m excited to hear your Advent ideas. Confession time: I got 4 Advents: Skein Scoop Swap, Chelsea Yarns, Suburban Stitcher and Vida Lifestyle and the Cozy Knitter striped sock set. Yikes!!! Hope to see you in the shop soon. ❤❤❤
Love little Lucy. I'm getting an advent from Fangirl fibers, Mermaid Purl and Buku yarns, my local yarn store. Our local yarn shop has her own every year. Can't wait. In another two weeks they start shipping I believe. You can make me a pair of socks if you looking for a project idea for your glow yarns.....hahaha. Enjoy your yarn.
Your pup is adorable! Thanks for sharing your Rhinebeck purchases. Look forward to your advent ideas. This year I’m part of the Scrappy swap and also got the sock from Woolens & Nosh.
The puppy is so adorable, congratulations! I’m glad you got the Grinch stole Christmas sock base, I did too. I have a few advents coming this year- Emma’s, Chelsea yarns, FDF, Wooly Mammoth & black purl magic. No solid plans yet-so looking forward to your video with advent ideas 🎉
Love seeing what you got. That Superglo is right up my alley also. 😍 I went a bit crazy this year with advents. I'm going through a separation with my husband so I bought the advents while I could. I got Arkansas Yarn Co - Wonka Advent, Knitty McPurly - Creator of the Universe Advent, Fibernympth Dye Works - Mystery of Color BFL Fiber Advent & Twice Sheared Sheep Advent. I also got the Woolens & Nosh Sock Advent.
Puppy is soooooo cute! I’ll share the best puppy toy ever invented-a smashed plastic milk jug and for even more entertainment tie an old tube sock on the handle. Never known a puppy yet that didn’t enjoy it and you can’t beat the price. Just be sure that the plastic safety ring has been removed from the neck and toss it out after it starts getting sharp edges from chewing.😊
The puppy is adorable. We don't deserve dogs. I have a dog too and she is snuggling at my feet. I am excited for vlogmas and can't wait for all the videos.
Thank you for more sharing from Rhinebeck. (I already watched the shop podcast.) I love that pink and yellow bag!! I suggest you look at Ambah O'Brien's patterns for your minis--or Lisa Ross. I have ordered 3 advent sets myself, but I think only 1 has minis. I think the other 2 are half skeins. Have fun!
Hi Justine🥰! Lovely haul - I missed RBK this year due to family obligations😊 but hitting Fiber Festival of New England. My advents will be from destashed minis from a bunch of designers and I think there’s at least one blanket in there! 💕 Lorien
Great haul! Cottontail Farms must sell out of those little bucket bags every year at Rheinbeck because I’ve tried twice now to get one online! I would love a video on Advent ideas - my little knitting group is doing a swap this year with 20 gram balls of sock yarn.
I’m having the same issue u are having with not liking how a hand dye yarn is patterning … will be watching to see how you fix it … esp when we buy sweater quantity like that
I love those minis. I am new to knitting and never know what to ask for when purchasing yarn. Are they good for socks and what do I ask for as in weight? Live your podcast! Thanks, Deb
If you use minis for a pair of socks you will have “ Frankenstein socks “ of various colors and have to lots ends to weave in .. I have done it ,, it’s fun but not typical. , For a “pair “ of socks you really want a skein of “sock yarn “ usually sold as over 400yds on the skein so you can do both socks that one color or yarn . “ sock yarn “ is usually “fingering weight also called 4 ply by the UK with an Addition of a % of nylon added for durability “ ex: 80% merino and 20% nylon
I just received m wonderful Scrappy Advent shop through Skein, from my swap partner Gail. So much fun! I also have the Woollens and Nosh sock advent. I am going to try and do Vlogmas for the 1st time this year, so any tips would be much appreciated. I was thinking of doing the Boxing Day Bonus Shawl by Jennifer Lassonde with my scrappy advent.
Such a cute puppy!! I'm getting a Saint Bernard puppy next Tuesday...not looking forward to the sleepless nights lol Check out Creabea's podcast...she has a sweater coming out in the new year that she's designed to use advents. Those Superglow minis would look awesome in a round yolk sweater. www.youtube.com/@the.creabea (it's the one she's wearing in the newest episode)
Your puppy is adorable! Though, frankly, I'd have to be nuts to take on another child... ;). It does seem strange that the SuperGlo folks put 11 20-gram minis in their set. I love your cozy comfort blanket but I have a question. I assume that when you participated in the advent, that they gave you 24 20-gram minis. Yes? Was that enough yarn to make that Cozy Comfort blanket? It doesn't seem like it would be enough yarn. Ditto with the Anthologie blanket. I assume that, by the time you get to the outer strips, that the 20 gm yardage is no longer sufficient? thx
So. My anthology throw used all 25 mini skeins from the Emma’s Smalliday set. My cozy comfort throw I held double with vintage sock AND I purchased 5 purple minis from Emma’s yarn for a longer blanket that ended with purple because I thought It needed to end in purple lol

Venetian shawl by Ambah O'Brien is great for mini skeins

Thanks, Deb
So minis can come in any weight but these are fingering weight and can definitely be used for socks.
If you use minis for a pair of socks you will have “ Frankenstein socks “ of various colors and have to lots ends to weave in .. I have done it ,, it’s fun but not typical. ,
For a “pair “ of socks you really want a skein of “sock yarn “ usually sold as over 400yds on the skein so you can do both socks that one color or yarn .
“ sock yarn “ is usually “fingering weight also called 4 ply by the UK with an Addition of a % of nylon added for durability “ ex: 80% merino and 20% nylon
