- Hello my beautiful people! A few weeks ago in my knitting plans for 2022 I mentioned that I wanted to learn how to make socks. And I already learned it! Omg, I'm so obsessed with socks now and have already finished two pairs. So in today's video I wanted to simply chat with you while knitting up a cute pair of socks. Don't forget to leave some q & a questions for next week and as always let me know what project you are working on. Much love, Lisa

I also recently picked up sock knitting last year and am also obssessed! I love them because they are so easy to take around with me on the go especially since once you get the hang of them they are pretty dang simple to make without a specific pattern. I have a goal to knit a pair a month in 2022!
Yes they are such an easy project to travel with as well! Sounds like such a good goal!
Were you able to do it?
I can totally understand the obsession. I started knitting socks a few months ago before I stopped because I got bored, but I picked it up again a few months ago and I already have like five pairs done. Four of them have cables.
On Ravelry, you automatically follow someone if you add them to your friends list. Then you can customize if you want to just see your friends' projects in your feed, or also the stuff they're adding to their queues or favorites list. For the Q+A, what is your absolute favorite yarn (all-purpose, sweater, sock, or however you want to answer)?
Yay! Congratulations on your first socks! I love the 9 inch circulars too :)
Yaayy thank you! Yes the 9 inch circulars are so much better than the dpn's, I still am figuring out the perfect balance between the two. Enjoying sock knitting so much
I’m sure you’ve already mentioned this but I’d love a rundown of your current favorite patterns/creators! I’ve been crocheting for a little while, but you’re inspiring me to pick up knitting!
Ohh I love that so many crocheters are tempted to knit more as well haha, that's so cool. I love both knitting and crochet a lot, they both have their benefits 💖
I have so been loving your videos and postive energy! I always knit while watching/listening along and I feel like I have a knitting friend with me ❤ I also love continental but have not been able to master purling in it... grr
Thank you!
I recently found your channel and love it. Your harry styles sheep vest inspired me to pick up knitting again ❤️
Thank you so much, that's so cool to hear 💖
Hi there. Oh my gosh the exact same thing happened to me. This year was my goal to learn to knit socks. I finished myself a pair, now I'm making hubby a pair. I too am so hooked on sock making. It is addicting. All my other projects are suffering from neglect. Just can't put down the knitted socks. So I can totally relate.
Haha omg so cool! I am taking a bit of a sock break now but once I've finished the projects I am working on right now I definitely want to cast on another pair of socks. They're so fun to make!
Loved the video
Thank you! And yay for sock knitting!
I really relate to the college/university stuff. I’m in my last semester of college after having to take two extra semesters because summer of 2020 was awful for me and I failed half my classes. I’ve really appreciated the lighter workload, I think it makes me a better student and designer being able to put more time and thought into my projects instead of always worrying about how much I have on my plate. I’m interning for a really cool nonprofit that I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to work for if I had graduated “on time” and it’s given me more of an idea of what direction I want to take my life in. Silver linings I guess. Still very excited to finally finish my degree in a few months 😊
Yes I really think taking extra time is so benificial!
I love your vids sm! Your like my fav knitting channel here on yt, and i do knit myself! I just started and i like to watch your channel now and then whenever i knit 💕
So nice to hear ❤️❤️
Oh those socks are lovely!
Thank you! I really like them as well
Me encanta tu canal, tus diseños son hermosos 💜💜😁
I've made those mushroom socks too! I love the pink you're using, it's very cute. Currently I'm knitting the Chocolate Bunny Socks
by StitchyDragon Creates on Ravelry, which is also a cute colour work pattern :)
Ahh so cool! Yes I liked the pink a lot as well, perfect for spring. I've seen the Chocolate Bunny Socks as well, they looks so nice. I might make them for Easter!
Hi! I like your videos because, in addition to the fact that your projects are super cute, I feel like I have company while I'm knitting haha, I am currently working on a crop top, but definitely the socks will be my next project. Usually I don't like to write comments, but I felt I should let you know. Cheers from Mexico✨
Aww so nice to hear that 💖 A crop top sounds so nice, and yes you should definitely make socks next, they're so fun to make.
I've never knitted socks but after this video i cannot wait to try it ehehehe
And i'm also gonna repeat myself: i'm in LOVE with your videos and you aesthetic, so pleasing and cozy!!🦥🌙💖 xx
Yes you definitely should! I was super intimidated to try socks but I loved it so much. And omg 💖 that's so sweet, literally the nicest thing ever
You're so talented 🧡
Thank you 💖
I also had to take an extra year for my BA due to Covid slam tackling my mental health 💛Thank you for talking about your own experience -- It makes me feel so much less alone. I'm also excited because taking an extra year means I get to go abroad again! I was supposed to go to London and Edinburg, but Covid meant that trip got cancelled. Now I'm planning on going back to Germany for a second time!
Would you ever consider bringing your experience with journalism to your channel? Maybe something like iGirl's Trashion series but for textile arts? Especially if you get to go abroad, it would be so interesting to hear about people's projects and stories behind why they knit/crochet 💛
Yes I think many students have experienced this, it's really difficult to perform in the same way in university when there is Covid haha. But so cool that you are going abroad, have fun!
I would love to make a combination between journalism and fiber arts, it's definitely something I have been thinking about! And of course I can't wait to take my knitting and crochet journey abroad, would be so cool. Thank you for the inspiration 🥰
For learning the continental purl, try the Norwegian purl. It is way easier in my opinion than the normal continental purl. Arne and Carlos has a good tutorial on it
Ohh thank you! I'll definitely look into that :)
Have you tried the Norwegian purl? I've always been an english style knitter and I wanted to try to learn continental this week and I truly could not figure out the purl. I saw a video on the Norwegian purl (and knit) and I think I'm hooked! You don't even have to move your yarn to the front at all.
No I haven't yet but some others recommended Norwegian purl as well so I'll definitely check it out after my crochet project haha
you inspired me to cast on a second sock that I didn't think would ever get started and knit along with the video! Also I NEED to make pink socks with red strawberries now that you mentioned that the mushrooms kinda look like strawberries
Yayyy that's amazing! I definitely know that I will suffer from second socks syndrome as well if I don't cast on the other socks immediately. Yes pink socks with strawberries sounds so good! I know that Stone Knits has a really cute strawberry sock pattern, or you could design the pattern yourself of course :)
@@lisasknitclub thanks for the recommendation, I looked it up and that pattern is so cute!!
I find your channel recently and Im waiting for new videos I really like your style and backgrounds. I also started crotheting hobby in depressive times so when you talk about your past ecperience its so nice to know that there is some people who thinks like me. Btw You are so lucky Few years ago when I’d visited amsterdam I loved all the museums and little indie art corners. My favorite place was stedelijk I wish to had a student job somewhere like that. Have a good day.
Thank you, that's so nice! Yes knitting has really helped me in times where I was mentally unstable, and it still helps me a lot now. Ahh yess Amsterdam is a great city, I am really enjoying it now that everything is opening up again. I do consider myself super lucky! Stedelijk is such a nice museum, I like that one a lot as well. Have a good day as well 💖
The pattern looks amazing once knitted and extremely cute! I’m thinking of making it for a friend’s birthday and was wondering if you could share what yarn you’re using? As well as how many skeins you used? I love your channel and definitely aspire to be able to knit and crochet the beautiful projects you do!!
I used Drops Nord for it, and I think I used about 1.25 skeins of the pink, and about 0.25 skeins for the white and red :) Have fun making it, I'm sure it'll make a lovely gift 🥰
Talking about Uni makes me miss my time over in the UK, I went to Amsterdam back in 2018 and I loved it! I got accepted to do my Masters in Nijmegen but I haven't decided if I'm gonna go just yet hehe
Ohh yes I can imagine haha, it really is a special period in everybody's life. I love Amsterdam a lot as well, I always feel lucky to live here. And so cool that you got accepted for a Masters! What kind of Masters. Nijmegen is super nice. But I can totally imagine that it's a difficult choice haha
I crochet a lot while watching your videos and after seeing how adorable those socks are I'm so close to getting some needles and learning how to knit! Your channel is such a cozy and nice place to be :) also for the q&q, have you ever thought of travelling anywhere in Canada? If so, any particular provinces? :)
That's so cool to hear, I actually see there are many crocheters who are watching and want to learn how to knit now as well. I love that there are crocheters who are interested in knitting and vice versa, as someone who does both that really warms my heart haha.
Did you ever get some needles? Socks are what convinced me to start knitting after crocheting for years & now I’ve been knitting a week! On my first sock now & it’s so fun lol
Knitted socks are also a 2022 goal for me, just have to clear out yarn and save up to buy the sock yarn and sock needles.....
It's such a good goal! And so smart to clear out yarn first, I should really do that as well
i have never knitted socks but as soon as i saw these are a pattern thats also in german i just had to buy it and well now i will learn to knit socks
Yes it's great that her patterns are available in many languages! Have fun making your socks 💖
have you considered trying the magic loop method? you use circular needles with a really long cable and i find it so much easier to knit socks with that method than with the small circulars because you don't have to switch to dpn's. magic loop is a perfect method to avoid dpns at all cost (which is what i do hahah) 🥰
Yes I have tried it but I don't really like magic loop for socks unfortunately :( For sleeves and things I do use it often! But maybe I need to practice more haha, for now the tiny circulars feel really natural for me
Those socks are so cute!!:)
Thank you, I loved the outcome as well :)
@@lisasknitclub it's always great to love your own work ☺️
I also knit continental but can’t purl continental! BUT I tried out the Norwegian purl and it was a game changer!
Yes I've heard that from many people! So I need to take the time to check that out soon haha
I am not sure if this is mentioned in the comments, but you all should try knitting a pair of socks at the same time on the round needles! It's actually really easy and fast, since you knit just two sides with two needles back and forth. I learned it and lemme tell yall, I'm never going back to knitting with four needles anymore! 😇
Super gezellig video weer! Ben zelf ondertussen ook aan het breien dus voelt een beetje alsof ik met een vriendin samen bezig ben:)
Mijn vragen voor de q&a:
-what was the first project you ever finished?
-what series/movies do you like to watch (while knitting)?
Wat leuk! Vind het zo leuk om te lezen dat iedereen zelf ook aan het breien en haken is terwijl ze de video kijken, super gezellig haha
Oh my goodness! Your sweater is gorgeous! Do you mind sharing what pattern you used to make it?
Thank you! It's the Williamsburg sweater from Karas.knit.eng
@@lisasknitclub Thank you! It suits you so well!
I hate doing ribbing as well, I’m also a continental knitter & I purl that way but it strains my hands soooo much
Haha good to know I'm not the only one who doesn't really like doing ribbing
What brand are your 9 inch circulars?? I can’t seem to find any where I live
Get a larger circular needles and do two at a time, no second sock syndrome
I've never seen anyone knut socks on circular needles. I myself learned to knit socks with 5 single needles
Yes that's a way to knit socks as well. Personally I wasn't a very big fan of knitting with double pointed needles so I really prefer using a tiny circular needle :)
What is your favorite thing that you have made so far? What is the most difficult thing you have made so far?
I knit continental style and I struggled with purling as well, but I recently started combination knitting, which is just a small variation but it makes it so much easier! Here’s a video that was helpful for me ruclips.net/video/5WP2MlICOWU/видео.html
Ohh that sounds so good, thank you! I'm definitely going to check that one out
