  • I set myself a challenge with a book given to me by Xander from ‪@XandersCottage‬ and I'm done with the first quarter (and then some)! I have even stayed on track with time. I'm going to chat a little, show you all those socks, and the Sock Madness socks I finished.
    Below you'll find links to some of the yarns I used and all that fun stuff!

      Sorry to worry you! I only announced the break on FB, because I can't control when people will see videos I post here, so they might see it in two years and think, "Uh Oh!"

    Unity! Porch light! I feel like we are shouting our fiber safe words :) You always make me smile so glad to see your face again. I have been trying to finish my first pair of socks for 4yrs! (cerebral palsy and fibromyalgia :)) ) Any advice on a pattern I might be able to finish? All of your socks are swoony!

    from Gerry- I only did socks # 1, 3, 7. I love each but I find that most are way beyond my skill level even though I have been knitting all my life. I am mesmerized by your work. Well done. God bless. Porch light!

    Wear the pink Crespedia socks to the wedding rehearsal. Your sister will be there with you. If you are worried about the dress color, knit a shawl to wear with it that goes with the pink, but is a better color for you so it's that color close to your face.
    Hope John feels better!

    I love the brighter colors, both Lempi, and morning coffee.
    I think that pink will look fine on you, but maybe you could get a pink that is a little richer in color and still be in the dress code?
    Thank you for sharing all of your beautiful fiber with us!

    Thumbs up for John!! 29:00 My daughter preordered 52 Socks for me- so it has been years. I’ve knit 1 pair. :/ (the text is too light for my old eyes!). I am so-o-o proud of you for knitting all those socks and continuing to plow ahead! I just found a young dyer nearby, totally different from my dying! Bought 4 skeins of her sock yarn. Monk and Moose Fiber Co. I’m diving back into the book. Love those Unity socks!

    What a fun package!!! There's some nice looking socks in that second book. I really like a lot of your dye jobs for the socks you did using those yarns. Looking forward to the branches sock. I take it you used the stitch count in the book for those? Did the Unity ones fit you? I assume they did. Awe, cool about the Mowry sock/yarn. That Fiona is a pretty color. Seeing yours makes me want hit the book up again lol. Feel better John, allergies suck. I like the yarn in the porch light socks. That top color on the Lempi would have been cool where the red is I bet. Are the slip stitch thick? The last 2 were nice too. The hot pink ones look difficult.

    • @FiberLoveDiary
      @FiberLoveDiary  13 часов назад +1

      I did use the stitch count in the book for Branches. I would knit them again. They all pretty much fit, but yes, the Unity in particular fit me. I hope you try the book again. I learned that the yarn choice makes all the difference for how much I like them! They slip stitch socks were just a tad thicker than usual, but not stiff or anything.

    Seems to me the dress color should be good. You’ll feel better if you have amazing makeup and lippy on, I liked the suggestion of a coordinated shawl, and I don’t know if you might consider temporarily shifting your hair color a tiny bit of a tone? Those were the thoughts that occurred to me as you were holding the socky to your face. And Yes! Wear the socks, it’ll be awesome to have your sister with you, maybe to the rehearsal.
