The list gets even shorter because unless they have hard deadlines for say gifting or testing, blankets and socks don't count as WIPs (I have been told and totally am on board with). Blankets are long-term projects and socks are just givens. 😎. Agree or not, but in case that relieves any anxiety...I usually look at the projects on Ravelry when doing dk socks to see how much others used for larger sizes. If using two fingering weights held double, they can come out at a lighter than dk weight than using a dk yarn and may use more than 100g for a pair. That may also be why you needed larger needles to meet gauge. You could always do the toes a different color if that works in the end? Or marl? I'm still on the MKAL train...hoping to arrive by this October 😂
Loving the pink socks, i keep saying i want to try knitting my first pair of socks. I total agree about frogging your jumper if its not what you want then dont spend any more time on it. Love the idea of destashing the yarn i'm sure someone would love it. Lets see WIP number 1 next video. Love your videos as always Martyn ❤
You are such a good Uncle! That lime green T Rex is going to be perfect! He's going to love it. The toft rams are so cute! Your shawl is looking good. Hurray on the socks being finished! I'm knitting the Flax Light sweater, in Madelinetosh in the color Esoteric. I love the fact I don't have to do short rows in this sweater! Love your videos and always look forward to seeing what you and Mark are doing. Love the sock dance!
"Dances with Finished Objects" - even more entertaining than "Dances with Wolves!" I think that 10 WIPs is remarkable - well done. I would love to see the pink socks again. Thank you for another great show Martyn xx
Great sock dance! I vote pink socks for Mark, I'd like to see WIP no. 2 please (have no idea what it is bit I like the element of surprise! Love Gregor the 🦖 🐲 🦕, fab fun podcast as per usual Martyn, thanks so much for all the good stuff you put into every one. Looking forward to seeing you at Wonderwool at the end of April x
I’m in pink socks camp. Funny, I usually don’t gravitate toward pink, but Gemma’s colors are gorgeous! Wishing Mark a belated happy birthday. Have a great week, and I am looking forward to the next episode. Cheers!
Hi Martyn, loving the sock dance. Before I forget. No. 5. You have been busy crafting. Finally managing to do a bit of knitting, but crocheting causes a bit too much pain. I'm almost finished with a pair of socks and I'm thinking my next project will be the Frisson wrap from Expression Fibres. I'm presuming you know they do a Friday feeble of a couple of patterns. One knit and one crochet. Belated birthday greetings to Mark. York is a lovely city to visit. Does Mark not drive or do you prefer to drive. Have a great week and have fun with the dinosaur and sheep. Definitely a menagerie. Take care xxJane 🐑🌼
Great video, as always!! Socks? Must be the pink ones - looking forward to seeing the fade! Id like to see wip no. 5 please! Continue with the finished objects dances- so much fun!!! ☺️
Let's dance definitely 😂 . With Marks pink socks you could follow Roxanne Richardson's advice for high insteps to give him more depth to get it on, say 20 to 22 reps of the slip stitch heel, so 20 to 22 gusset pick ups. You may then have to fiddle with your stitch count because of the pattern. Basically you measure from the mid of your outside heel to floor to find your required heel flap length. It was a game changer for fit for me x
#6 Pink socks please Consider finishing your Flax sweater and adding it to the raffle pool. Sounds like it would fit someone in my family. Love the sock dance
spats are shoe covers that fancy up or make warmer a pair of plain shoes. the strap underneath is elastic to hold it snug to the shoe. I have always loved the look of them.
Pink socks! Number 3 🎉 I loved the sock dance hahaha the end made me laugh. The spiral sock I knit are way too big, but lovely and warm. Thank you for this wonderful episode ❤
Congratulations in finishing the spiral socks. They are fantastic and appear to fit PERFECTLY! So far as which WIP you share: my preference is for whichever projects are bringing you joy - because it's always fun to see how excited you get about certain projects. On that topic - I too am excited about the Dino. I hope he loves it. Oh and congrats on no new wool except for the green for the specific project. Enjoy your week. I'm spending it pulling weeds and starting the garden.
Pink socks, I’m worried they won’t fit. Love all your content, so interesting whichever Wip you choose. As a cross stitcher, always split the threads and put back together, keep your crosses all the same way and centre the Aida and start in the middle.
I love the sock dance. So much giggling. Get those blue socks done because it will be fast. Then you can go on to the pink. I would love to see Mark's vest.
Haven’t finished the video yet, but I vote for finishing Mark’s pink socks. Edit after finishing: your nephew and his dinosaur obsession are too cute. He's very lucky to have you as an uncle!
I'd like to see more progress on Mark's argyle. Beyond that anything for the children as stuff for children always needs to be done asap as not only do they grow quick they change quickly too. Get things to them while the subject is hot. Love all the Toft stuff as always. Enjoyed the fun finish to the video. I'm giving the cable socks a miss, not being keen on cables on the foot. That pattern doesn't seem to be one that would look as good with just cabling on the leg. However, Spiral Splash socks are on the list.
I vote for 3! And pink socks 😁 I just finished off one of my two current WIPs while watching this episode so now I'm down to one project! I have a little pile of new yarn waiting for me for a crochet project though, so hopefully I can cast that on soon 😊 Lovely episode, great to see what you're up to and really nice to see your WIPs!
Love both the socks but I think you should do the pink ones for mark it was his birthday recently and he's been so patient about his vest. Show us number 1 on the list
Thank you so much that little sexy sock dance made my day . I do miss the monthly round up but do love the weekly meeting. I do vote for pink since Mark as been a great sport at waiting for his jumper.
I love the Mary Anning doll , Ammonite with Kate Winslet is a film about her life . Thank you for another great sock dance. Perhaps raffle the jumper (as is)you are going to frog towards your fund raiser, great opportunity for either a nearly complete jumper for someone or a bundle of yarn
Love love loved your blog today you I always look forward to your vids Love the cross stitch kit but I can't cross stitch I can embroider hand stitch, slow stitch but cross stitch becomes ANGRY STITCH with me Love dinosaurs my daughter was obcessed with Dinosaurs as a little kid, love Gregor, you'd better make him now cos kids go off things so quickly xxx
It doesn't seem like you will have enough yarn for your blue socks, I would use the different lot for the toes of both socks. Pink socks for Mark first, he is still waiting for his sweater !!! I loved your sock dance. 💝
I would work on the blue socks so you could finish a sock and I think you should finish your MKAL. And then put the socks away for a bit and work on Mark’s jumper. Christmas will be here before you know it. Don’t give up on doing 2 MKAL kits though. This fall was unique (I hope) in having to redo section 1 three times. You would have been able to finish section 1 for both otherwise. And maybe section 2 as well.
I think you should work on the pink socks first you just had new socks Mark needs new socks as he hasn't got a new jumper yet 😂 i would like to see WIP 3 I have 5 wips, a long term scrappy blanket and a spinning project im really trying to keep below 6 wips and it encourages me to finish things so i get to start something new
Wouldn’t it be fun to do a zoom thing with folks doing their spinning. We could all show off while sharing techniques and different roving and its sources. It could also include sources for spinning devices as well as pros and cons. Just a fun idea.
You did say that Mark’s jumper was going to get done for sure… nice to see your Geogradient. (I always use stitch markers every 20 stitches or so to avoid missing stitches.) Before you know it, October will be here and MKAL 2024 will be here. And Easter is over so you missed the CAL. Didn’t you?
Congratulations Martyn! The socks are beautiful but I really enjoyed the sock dance the most!! Number 3 WIP please. I vote to finish the pink socks so Mark can see if they will fit (however the blue socks are probably quicker). Really great episode, as always, I do look forward to each one, love the weekly and I did miss the monthly wrap ups so thank you for working on bringing us up to date. Now the most important question…..is the dinosaur finished?? 😉🤣
Don’t frog the Flax Sweater-- it sounds like it could be finished by someone else-- what size is it? I just keep thinking of all that work you’ve put into it!!!!
I have one WIP. I dont begin another till that 1st one is finished. Please 🙏 bring Mark's jumper to the current active. It's a year since you started it?
I want to see project number 1. re your mkal section 3.i also struggled so on the second side I just did the slipped stitches on the right side , let me know if you need to see a picture.
Love the update and of course - favorite is the sock dance - great pattern and showing them off!❤ I can’t wait to see Dino.

Great sock dance Martyn! Please don’t frog your Flax! Someone will be able to finish and wear it! My vote is to finish project number 3.
Another amazing sock dance! Thank you! Pink socks have my vote.
I’m in pink socks camp. Funny, I usually don’t gravitate toward pink, but Gemma’s colors are gorgeous! Wishing Mark a belated happy birthday. Have a great week, and I am looking forward to the next episode. Cheers!

Expression Fiber Arts offer the most beautiful yarns, don’t they? Always exceptional (I’ve bought yarn for at least 5 projects from Expressions)!
Great video, as always!! Socks? Must be the pink ones - looking forward to seeing the fade! Id like to see wip no. 5 please!
Continue with the finished objects dances- so much fun!!! ☺️

I like the pink socks. Good luck with the dinousaur and the sheep. Belated happy birthday to Mark
I say pink socks!
Lucky number 7! And pink socks since you just finished a blue pair. I love your pride fundraiser idea, too!

I confess I had to skip right to the sock dance at the end, so cute!
You have truly perfected the sock dance! Can’t wait to see the dinosaur.
A dinosaur dance too?

Hi am a new comer really enjoying your it. Pink socks number 5. Love the sock dance
I do love the monthly round up too. You know you can never not do a sock dance ever again, just way too entertaining. So Mark's vest.......
I love the Mary Anning doll , Ammonite with Kate Winslet is a film about her life . Thank you for another great sock dance. Perhaps raffle the jumper (as is)you are going to frog towards your fund raiser, great opportunity for either a nearly complete jumper for someone or a bundle of yarn

Let's see.... Pink socks and how about #4?
Really like the geogradient 😮sock dance - wheeeeee
I would work on the blue socks so you could finish a sock and I think you should finish your MKAL. And then put the socks away for a bit and work on Mark’s jumper. Christmas will be here before you know it.
Don’t give up on doing 2 MKAL kits though. This fall was unique (I hope) in having to redo section 1 three times. You would have been able to finish section 1 for both otherwise. And maybe section 2 as well.
The sock dance was great made me laugh ! Thank you !
Make the pink socks !
I think you should work on the pink socks first you just had new socks Mark needs new socks as he hasn't got a new jumper yet 😂 i would like to see WIP 3
I have 5 wips, a long term scrappy blanket and a spinning project im really trying to keep below 6 wips and it encourages me to finish things so i get to start something new
Weekly is best❤
I vote for th pink socks
Right in middle, kinda, number 3!
If I remember your previous WIP list correctly, please work on your Project #1 !!! 😊
Love to see wip no. 4
Pink socks please. Number 1 WIP please xxx
Do the blue socks first!!! 💙
Wouldn’t it be fun to do a zoom thing with folks doing their spinning. We could all show off while sharing techniques and different roving and its sources. It could also include sources for spinning devices as well as pros and cons. Just a fun idea.
You did say that Mark’s jumper was going to get done for sure… nice to see your Geogradient. (I always use stitch markers every 20 stitches or so to avoid missing stitches.) Before you know it, October will be here and MKAL 2024 will be here. And Easter is over so you missed the CAL. Didn’t you?
Remarkable Creatures by Tracy Chevalier is historical fiction based on the life of Mary Anning if you are inclined to learn a bit more. I loved it.
Congratulations Martyn! The socks are beautiful but I really enjoyed the sock dance the most!! Number 3 WIP please. I vote to finish the pink socks so Mark can see if they will fit (however the blue socks are probably quicker). Really great episode, as always, I do look forward to each one, love the weekly and I did miss the monthly wrap ups so thank you for working on bringing us up to date. Now the most important question…..is the dinosaur finished?? 😉🤣
All finished and stuffed, just need to sew him up tonight when I get home from work! Loved and speedy and relaxing he was!
@@knit365blog Do dinosaurs do finished dances? (I think they should!!)
Hello from Denmark 😁👋
Could we see the pink socks please and WIP number four 😊
I don't know how you do it! 10 WIPS!!? I get so much anxiety of having 2.
Don’t frog the Flax Sweater-- it sounds like it could be finished by someone else-- what size is it? I just keep thinking of all that work you’ve put into it!!!!
Don’t frog it in case someone your old size wants to finish it. If not, they can frog it.
I have one WIP. I dont begin another till that 1st one is finished. Please 🙏 bring Mark's jumper to the current active. It's a year since you started it?
Pink socks … poor Mark still doesn’t have his sweater, he should at least get socks. 😂
😅WIP #1
I want to see project number 1. re your mkal section 3.i also struggled so on the second side I just did the slipped stitches on the right side , let me know if you need to see a picture.
I would like to see Mark’s jumper, Noah’s Dino and your Geogradient. Not sure what WIP # they are. Not a sock person.
