Love the socks! Ha ha ha, I have a pullover that took me 20 years to finish. I started it, got about halfway, got married and put the pullover in a bag at the bottom of my wardrobe, waiting for a good time to carry on. Then I had children. We moved, and the knitting came too. The children grew into teenagers, and I finally got back to the knitting. I finished the pullover, and now, many years later, I still love it and wear it often! :D
My oldest work in progress was not yarny but fabric. I became keeper of avpartially done quilt the my husbands grandmother started before WW2. I worked on it very spuratically over the last 35 years until i was determined to finish for her anniversary this summer. We are talking generations not years so you are good😊
Your selbu socks are so beautiful! And so is that road and countryside footage! Really enjoyed it and congrats, that took dedication and determination!!
Hello Wales!! The socks are gorgeous ! Bravo!! I started an alpine bloom sweater with some British Breeds yarn and spincycle for the contrast , already the spin cycle is too dark , I’m not frogging it!the colorwork will just be more subtle, otherwise a lento sweater, a plain Ragland crew neck with John Arbon and a host of other things planned!
I love a bit of low contrast colourwork. I bet your alpine bloom will be so lovely. It sounds like you have some lovely projects and plans that will keep you busy Nancy, thank you so much for sharing 🥰
Hi Ange, congrats on your gorgeous socks! I can't imagine taking four years for a pair of socks, but hey, I'm me and you are you. And if you being you means that on the odd occasion you take four years over knitting a beautiful pair of socks, then don't apologise, just enjoy them, both during the process and the final result! And thank you for sharing this very special sock journey with us!
Aww thank you. He used to pop up in the videos a little more often than he has recently. I’ll have to try and encourage him to start making a few more guest appearances again 😃🧡
The socks are beautiful - well done for persevering with them. Knitting is not a race - as long as you are enjoying it, it doesn’t matter how long it takes. The scenery from your trip away was beautiful. Jinny
Ange, yes! Well done! I have an evenstar shawl thats been hibernating for about 6 years now, might just have to get it out lol. And if anyone is looking at your feet so closely, perhaps they should ask you for your PayPal details 😂😂😂 again, well done, hope you love wearing them. X
I love your socks! Selbu socks are my ultimate goal. I have finished my fourth pair of vanilla socks, still making mistakes, and they still look so silly, but I’m plugging away. Your video helps inspire me to keep going. Your socks are beautiful, and even though you can probably see every error, the rest of us likely can’t, and we can just appreciate the artistry that went into making them. Thank you.
Aww thank you for such a kind and encouraging comment Carole, thank you for making me smile 🥰🧡 Keep going and I’m sure you’ll be knitting your own pair of selbu socks soon xxx
Hi Ange, I really enjoy all your videos and in particular these making vlogs. They are a true reflection of the ebb and flow of knitting projects and are a side of the process other podcasters rarely share. Thank you from Gatineau Canada.
Love the socks -- I have a book of Selbu mitten patterns (also from Skeindeer) that I haven't yet touched, so thanks for the reminder ... I will hope to cast one on later this year. Watching your 2025 cast-on videos inspired me to go back and check in on your progress from some previous years' projects. I must say that I really love your approach, seeing the evolution of one project over time. I hope you keep making videos in this format, and I look forward to seeing more of your makes (including further cast-ons for January 2025). You have a lovely manner and it's fun to "hang out" with you while I knit.
Thank you so much for watching these videos 🥰🧡 I’m glad we got to hang out a bit today. Yes I definitely plan to keep making videos like these as it’s fun for me to look back on the highs and lows of each project at the end. Hope you enjoy your mittens when you get to cast them on 🤞😃🧡
Hi Ange. These socks were definitely worth the wait. They are fabulous. I love love love them. I haven’t made any toe up socks. I think it took me soo long to get into making socks i have stuck with top down. I should push myself one day to try it. I just finished making my Sunday Morning Wrap and i’m really pleased with it. So now the decision to pick up a wip or cast on something new 🤔😊xx
Aww thank you. Toe up socks aren’t my favourite as I always find the first few rows a bit fiddly but I don’t mind them from time to time. Have you decided on a wip or a cast on yet?
Beautiful socks, Ange. Thank you for video showing your progress and your holiday countryside. I have just the arm bands to knit in a Prince of Wales Slipover I cast on in May 2020 and another commenter here reminded me of my Evenstar Shawl that’s nearly done, that I cast on in September 2014! I am so glad to be in such good company. Here’s to finishing some languishing WIPs in 2025. 😁
Thank you for sharing your projects Robin it’s so nice to know many of us have these projects hanging around isn’t it. Hope you manage to finish your slipover and even star soon 🤞😃🧡
TA DA!! You did it! I have two pair, well not pairs, of socks on the needles for 6 years. One pattern is the Easy Lace Socks by Winwick Mum. The other is her basic pattern. Both with almost completed first sock. I have too many wips to count and like you have choices of projects for the time or mind set presently. Mobius scarf and Traveler hoodie are currently getting the attention.
Aww thank you for sharing about your socks Maribeth that definitely makes me feel not quite so badly about taking so long to finish mine. Ooh I hope you are having fun with your scarf and hoodie they both sound like great projects
Hi Ange! According to my Ravelry page, I started my Nuallan Cape in 2019. I just finished it a week or so ago! It has caused me to want to finish stuff, so I finally stitched up and stuffed my Emotional support chicken. Now my project bags are screaming at me….pick me, finish me! The 12 cast on party is looming, so I need to make space! Lovely to see you, as always. The socks are gorgeous!
Love this Jennie it sounds like you are on a finishing kick and you’ll have so many needles free for the cast on party there will be no stopping you 😃🧡
Definitely a fanfare of sorts was required for these finished socks Ange! They are truly beautiful and well done for perseverance! I have to say I felt physically sick when you pulled back all your beautiful work but it had to be done! I don’t have any long term WIP’s now as I’m one of these boring people who like to finish projects within the year.- but each to his own 🤣 I’m doing the Arne and Carlos Christmas stocking colourwork atm which I am enjoying but mostly it’s been sock gift knitting - but no colourwork! Take care and well done again xx
Thank you so much Heather 🥰🧡I don’t think that is boring at all it’s probably a much more sensible way to work on your projects than the chaotic way I approach things 🤣🤣
Congratulations on finishing your socks, they turned out beautifully!😍 I have three single socks that all need their partners right now, one is lace, one has slip stitch and the other is a pair of knee socks with a complex cable down the calf and back leg and two of the pairs have been on the needles for about 2 years and the third was worked on over the summer - none of these are the auto pilot type of socks. I also have a single colourwork mitten that seemed huge when I finished it a couple of years ago, but I tried it on recently and maybe it settled down, as it doesn't seem quite as large as I remembered it being, I should still be able to wear it!
Ooh I love your collection of smaller long term wips, maybe one or two will make there way back in to rotation and get finished soon 🤞🧡 Thank you for sharing them x
@@YarnNYarns One pair already has, I'm now at the stage where I have the heel shaping done on one of them, so now I have to work the decreases and the foot.
I love those socks! I was watching that drive thinking the view looked awfully familiar and when you said it was near Holmfirth it clicked that of course it’s a view I know! I am also someone who regularly takes ages (sometimes years) to finish projects
Round Holmfirth is such a beautiful area isn’t it. I often try and drive out to Holme Moss when I’m visiting the in-laws. I’m so glad to know I’m not alone in having these long term projects!! 😃🤣🧡
Hello lovely Ange! 👋🏻 your socks are utterly glorious, they must be incredibly warm and cosy. The wip I'm working on right now is Bee's Knees by Thea Colman which I'm making for my older daughter's birthday in early December. Just finishing the first sleeve, and dreading the first third of the second sleeve when you have to keep moving the whole garment round all the time! I have to say it's a wonderful pattern, very clear and concise. I'm using Daughter of a Shepherd RamJam worsted, the perfect yarn for my eco warrior girl!
Oooh I bet the RamJam is lovely to work with and I’m sure your daughter will love it. I hope you manage to get it finished in time for her birthday 🎂 🎉🥳
if it is any consolation, I DO have several projects that are several years old now ... Haaach ... (among them is a pair of scrap socks which is turning FIVE next year. (And no, the first sock isn't done yet ...) apart from that, I have Angela Hahn's Gibson from 2021 and cordelia vor's Charms Double K from 2022 on the needles. (We do not speak of the scrap blanket which I started in 2013.) I absolutely LOVE your socks!! They look marvellous and I hope they will bringt you lots and los of joy for YEARS to come! At least thrice as long as it took you to make them!!
Don’t feel too bad, Angela. I have a WIP that I started in 1979. A lily pond bedspread. All the knitting is done, just needs the seven strips sewn together and the trim attached. LOL
Congratulations on finishing those socks. I also have that pattern but have never cast it on yet. I have a blanket I am working on finishing up that I started in 2020. I really do want to finish it and I am so close but I must knit my Christmas gifts first.
Fabulous socks. Doesn’t matter how long they took. ….. done a couple of rows on my v difficult Alice starmore oregon cowl . Still on the rib, which has 9 colours in it. And using my Shetland knitting belt for extra challenge. Don’t forget to tell us what you are wearing in these project videos, there were several beautiful garments in this one!
Ooh 9 colours just in the rib that sounds like a real challenge. How are you finding the knitting belt. Thank you so much for the reminder about mentioning what I’m wearing I do often forget 🙊🧡
Well done on the finish! I looked on my Ravelry page today and have some WIPs from 2016. No idea where they are so I deleted the page! I have Leftover Sock Yarn Mitts by Jeanne Stevenson from 2018 in a project bag and a couple of blankets and some Waffle socks from that year too. At the moment I'm knitting the Arne & Carlos Christmas colourwork stocking, keeping up I think it must be the cuff next, I hope so as I playing yarn chicken with my white yarn! Thanks for the vlog. Jane
I’m so glad I’m not alone in having older wips, Jane thank you so much for sharing yours. Hope you win yarn chicken on your stocking that sounds like such a lovely project x
I recently found a lovely Aran weight cardigan I started maybe 2018 or 2019 and thought this is the year to finish it. I have yet to sort out where I'm up to but it just might get done. It hasn't gone back to hid so that's a start x
Congrats on finishing a 12 cast on! Man, that’s been a while! I have a pair of socks on the go at the moment that are taking me far longer than usual , I’ve started them three times as the yarn is so variegated it’s been tricky to find something I like but didn’t wan5 a plain sock. I’m knitting zigzagular which is finally working out- yarn has been in the stash far too long so good to get onto the foot of the first sock at last. I also have a billy pullover on the go and am loving all the cables. Most of the body and only sleeve done, hope to get the second sleeve done by the end of the weekend. Plans wise , I want to make a Cabled hat with my hand spun, a jumper with my hand spun, some selbu mittens with my hand spun… and spin more! I need to use this stuff I keep making… how many more 12 cast ons can you get off the needles by Christmas?
Oooh I love that you have so many handspun projects plans. Glad you were able to find a pattern that you were happy with for your variegated yarn, it always feels good to use up yarns that have been in stash for a while doesn’t it. I’m not sure how many more 12 cast ons I’ll get finished before the end of the year. The last few weeks have been derailed a bit by family stuff so I didn’t get as much done on my November projects as I’d hoped but with any luck I’ll get a couple more sets of needles cleared off 🤞🤞🧡🧡
Love your socks! I have a pair of socks that I am stripping myself with 3 different colors that have been sitting since 2021 and I enjoy just knitting round and round. I keep saying I need to pick them up but instead I CO new ones. 😂
Thank you for sharing the story of your socks Nancy I’m so glad I’m not alone in having socks on the needles for so long. The lure of a new cast on is sometimes too hard to resist isn’t it 😃🤣🧡
I started a pair of Christmas socks at least 4 years ago ( maybe more) and finished one sock. The second is more than halfway done and would only take a few days to finish, but will I do it before this Christmas? Highly doubtful!! Love your videos, take care.
Thanks for sharing Barbara your comment did make me smile. It would be the perfect time to drag that Christmas sock out and get it finished 😉 Hope you’re enjoying a lovely weekend. Thank you so much for watching 🥰🧡
That makes me feel so much better about my socks. You are so good persevering after 5 cast ons I think I would have given up way before my fifth attempt

Oh Lizzie this made me chuckle so much thank you 🦶🦶🤣 Hope you decide to get your even star out again
10 out of 10 for perseverance. They are very pretty and finished just in time for the bad weather. X
Thank you Anita. It’s been so cold these last few days hasn’t it. Hope all is well with you 🤞😃🧡
