Congrats on your socks 😊 I love when people find so much enjoyment in accomplishing new things. And yay for the shadow wrap heel! It's my favorite as well: simple, fast and clean. Denise (at Earthtones Girl) is a super resource. I love her tutorials.
Your socks are so lovely! I hope they make you so happy. Your shorts project will be fun to follow as well. Enjoy a well deserved vacation in the mountains. I can imagine how nice some time all of you together without any camps or places to scurry around to will be. ❤ All of my daughter’s camps are 2 1/2 hours. I’m so used to it- and they are like 10 minutes from home. But I get it an awkward length!😂
I love your excitement for your knitted socks. Welcome to the sock knitter's club! I ALWAYS have socks on the go. They are my travel knitting. Unless they are patterned-then I cast on a vanilla sock as well. That and tops are the things I knit most. I get almost an itch if I don't have socks on the go haha The next thing you could try is 2 at a time!! That's the only way I'll knit mine but we all have a preference.
I think you are right to cast on another pair of socks right away. I love picking up yarn and needles and just casting on. No pattern required. It’s all just practice. Every time I turn a heel, it still feels like magic to me. That feeling has never gone away. Self striping yarn is such fun to knit and goes very fast (just one more stripe 😅) And when I knit scrappy socks I use a Clasped Weft Join (can be found on RUclips) - no weaving in. It’s not a magic knot and is very secure. I hope you continue to enjoy your sock knitting! 🧦🧦🧦
Have a wonderful time in the mountains! I envy you having that resource so accessible. I’m a lucky mom though…two of my kids are coming to visit next week for the whole week and I can’t wait to have them here. And yay for sock knitting!
Yay! Welcome to the sock knitter club. It's great for travel and summer knitting. I also love that knitting breathes and my feet don't get as sweaty. I loved the provisional cast clip! I use scrap yarn and pick up the stitches later. This takes ot an extra step.
Glad your socks turned out so well! I also like the Crazy Sock Lady tutorial for vanilla socks on magic loop. I’ve also been listening to Familiaris and kept getting lost at what was happening. By the way, why was the main character walking on his hands at the beginning of the book? 😅😂
You might want to look at Summer Lee’s school of socks pattern. It is free and helped me to learn sock knitting. Another thing that has helped me is Andrea Mowerys tip to tug on the second stitch on your needle each round to prevent laddering. Worked for me! Have a lovely vacation!
You will be adorable in your knitted shorts set! I'm going to make my Shizen my priority now. I stalled this week because I got confused about something....emailed the designer, but no answer, so I plan on carrying on tomorrow. I did get the recommended banana yarn...I love the lustre of it...but it's quite fragile. Hopefully it holds up once it's being worn 😬🍌
😊🎉 knitting socks has always been my first love when I started knitting. I love the variety of them - all the colors (bright, neutral, pastels etc), patterned/textured, stripes, lace, solid, cables etc etc! As always, I enjoy your episodes so much!
Thank you Lisa Marie!! I just cast on a new sock about 10 minutes ago and I feel so happy! I feel like I have officially joined the ranks of the sock knitters with you 💚 Have a lovely weekend.
Yes!! Your Honor - oh my gosh - the writing! the acting! If it wasn’t for Tom Wattley - just love Bryan Cranston - I couldn’t get through it - what an actor!!! …Elaine - I wanna BE her! Have a wonderful vacation!
I think you should just go ahead and knit another pair of socks. You want to solidify having a sock pattern in your head, you have the yarn ready to go, the needles ready to do. Seems to me your subconscious is screaming for another pair of socks. Go for it :)
I'm interested to see how 56 stitches go, if that's what you've gone with, as my sock standard is 60 stitches on 2.25mm which creates a firm tension for me. Have a wonderful time away in the mountains and look forward to hearing and seeing the next pod when you're back xx

I agree, socks are magical!
They really are! Such a fun project to see come together.

You gave me the nudge I needed-I just cast another pair on this very moment! I will definitely look up the join you referenced. Thank you!
@@AnotherKnittingPod Yay! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Omg what a dream, I love this so much 💚

Love your comment about feeling like you invented fire. Definitely captures the feeling. Congratulations!

Just an update....the designer did get back to me and I'm back to knitting my Shizen 😊
Have you seen the Soho Square wrap in linen quill? 😍
Just looked it up and its stunning! Such a fun way to play with all the gorgeous colors of Linen Quill 🤩

I agree Janet!! Julia Louis Dreyfus is the absolute best 💜
Another wonderful pod!! I love your socks Leena!
Thank you so much Kimmy! 🥰

Personally I thing you should be listening to the bad angel . . . reading some earlier comments, it looks like you have haha!
Oh ya, I totally have LOL! Let’s see if it backfires!
