Thank you so much for answering all those questions and what a treat to have your mom on the podcast! She has such a great attitude to learn how to knit and to challenge herself. Thank you also for sharing what you do for work, but I understand the need to keep things private for whatever reason. It is such a stressful job. Two of my friends have MS. It’s tough. Thanks again for a great podcast!
A doctor! Did not guess that one. You must be a favorite with your personality. So glad you have knitting to help relieve the stress. I picked up knitting at the end of 2019. Right before I was diagnosed with breast cancer. God knew I would need it. I’m still battling and knitting has been my stress bliss. I started with socks and RUclips. Decided I would learn to knit them, and knit them well. I’ve since moved into sweaters, still keeping a pair of socks on needles. Loved meeting your mom. She has such a positive attitude and glad you two can share knitting. Has she seen Earth Tones Girl sock tutorials?Denise is wonderful and I watched and rewatched her tutorials to learn socks. She goes step by step for us visual learners. Love your podcast. ❤
Thank you Dr. Chelsea for making time to make this podcast! You started your podcast about the same time I started watching knitting podcasts and I look forward to it every week (I am in the Tulsa, OK area and visit OKC regularly for work and to visit family, so it’s so much fun that you’re ‘local’!!) I’m even more grateful knowing how busy you must be given your profession. So thank you again for sharing this with us!! As a fairly new knitter, I loved meeting your mom and hearing about what she is learning. Hope to see her again!
Awwww . . . Loved your sharing your mom with us. I'm closer to your mom's age and I so appreciate what my daughter has taught me! I'm glad you've found a great stress reliever in the fiber arts that my deep dive in knitting in my own healthcare job during the pandemic has provided me. What a fantastic outlet is our craft; a diversion from the rigorous, emotional or demanding work of our careers. You podcast is fantastic ❣🧶Keep it up. 🧶 Thanks, Mona
This great grandma (nearly 80) challenged herself to learn how to knit socks. Something I wanted to do for a very long time. I came across Summer Lee knits and she has a Free sock pattern for beginners. It really helped me. I have knit near 50 pair since 2021. Your mom did great. Easy to see you mom and daughter. Your podcast is one of my favourite. ❤❤
Such a great episode, it was great to learn a bit more about you, I totally understand why you want a night light outlet after work. I loved meeting your mom, her positivity and outlook on learning a new skill later in life is fantastic and I great reminder for us all.
Hello, I really enjoyed your episode as always! Thank you for the peek inside your life. Wow- a neurologist. That's a lot of dedication and patience. Thank you for your work with MS; my aunt suffered with it and it would be wonderful to find a cure. Knitting has provided so much peace and stress relief for me too. Your Mom is adorable and the two of you are so cute and fun to watch as a team. Will definitely look forward to seeing more visits from Mom! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing your Mom with us....yes, bring her back to visit with us. I would love to hear her progress of learning how to knit. Always fun podcast. I'm impressed--a doctor!
I enjoyed your video, as usual. Yes, please bring Mom back. I will enjoy watching her progress. I would have guessed you were an engineer.... Thank you for sharing. It makes you more real. Suzanne
Thanks for another enjoyable podcast; nice to get to know you a bit better. So enjoyed seeing your mom; we’re close to the same age so I would very much enjoy following her knitting journey. All the best to you both.
A doctor! How wonderful. Definitely did not see that one coming. I was the one that said you did not have an accent. I'm happy you found that flattering. Also, bring mom back occasionally. It would be nice to see how her knitting skills progress.
Thank you for sharing more of you in this episode but I absolutely understand the idea behind keeping work life and home life separate. Also, very fun to share your mom and her knitting adventures with us. Always look forward to seeing your next episode. See you soon!
Chelsea, so wonderful to see your mom. You are the 4th doc knitting youtuber i watch. sonder, knitting traditions, & joji. must be something about medical school that drives you all to knit. haha. thanks so much for the podcast! ps, for your mom, crazy sock lady taught me to knit socks, if your mom needs something step by step i highly recommend.
Thank you for another great podcast. A neurologist- good for you. I did not see that coming!! I love your knitting story. I have tried to explain to friends how calming knitting can be - they do not believe me. I had wrist surgery last year , followed by a full arm cast for eight weeks. Not being able to knit made my recovery so much more difficult. My mind wandered everywhere. I always have a stockinette project and a complex project on the needles. If I am having a rough day, I grab the complex project, focusing on the knitting does not allow any other worries to distract me. Yes, please have your mom visit again.
Hi there. Great podcast. I'm a psychiatrist and knitting has helped me process all the intensity of work better than anything else! I have to take a page from your book and start attending some international psych conferences! Thanks for sharing about your career.
Kudos to you, Chelsea, for pursuing such a rewarding, albeit stressful, career. Your patients are lucky to have you. How nice you have knitting to relax your mind after a busy day. Your mom, Lynette, is a delight. It’s nice that the two of you can share your love of knitting and fiber arts. Lynette, when I first learned to knit sock years ago, socks are what I wanted to make, too. Can’t wait to see what you take on next.
Tell your Mom to keep rocking on with the knitting. I love her approach of how she says she learns something every time she makes a mistake. I've tried to teach this to my kiddos, I think it's the best way to look at the process of trying new things. I love your Shiftigan! That's a really tempting pattern for me, but I just haven't mentally worked out the steeking part. Your colors are beautiful and I can't wait to see it done. As someone who has immensely benefited from the existence of neurologists and neurosurgeons since I was 10, THANK YOU!! Please know that us patients really, really appreciate all that you do. I hope that knitting helps gives you a way to de-stress from what is an incredibly stressful job.
Hi Chelsea, great episode, and loved your interview of your Mum and her knitting journey, she is such a natural for vlogs so you must have her back on the channel. I can understand your comfort knits with simple patterns and stockingnette as repetition can be soothing, but I actually find I make more mistakes when the pattern is very simple as my mind wanders, and I get more relaxation from a pattern where I have to keep regularly counting. Colourwork, lace and cables are my go to when stressed. Learning new techniques are my motivation over the end product, as I am most definitely a process knitter. To each their own. Looking forward to your next episode. Kind regards Kerry R. from Australia.
I'm currently in medical school in New York! It's good to know I'll still be able to fit in knitting with my schedule when I begin practicing. Thank you for that :)
I love your mom. Please have her on with you again. I would think you were a computer technician but being a doctor was an unexpected surprise. Rachelle in Seattle
Always love your podcasts and it was fun to have your mom on today! So funny - well maybe not funny, but for some reason I had it in my mind that you were into movie production. I have NO idea why - it isn't like you have talked about it or anything? I think I just put that into my head with your travels? Who knows. I was an English Lit major and I have a habit of putting "stories" together in my head. And your story was that you were a movie producer. So have fun with that one!! lol. I am thankful for what you really do though - yes, hard job, but I imagine you are wonderful with folks that are going through hard stuff. :)
Your shiftigan is looking amazing!!! So interesting that you are a doctor! I work in neuroscience research looking at how neurodegenerative diseases manifest in the retina. Our lab is mostly focussed on Parkinson’s and alzheimers but I know MS can also affect peoples vision quite significantly.
Hi Chelsea, as a doctor you are in good company among knitting podcasters. I watch at least three others whose day job is medicine. And I believe that Petite Knits - a favourite designer of yours - has a medical background😄.
Ms. Lynette, I so enjoyed your “can-do” attitude! Good for you for being willing to learn and even fail. Thank you, Chelsea, for another enjoyable podcast. I’m glad you got some errands done and a chance to relax this week.
Absolutely love watching to your podcast - one of the best, in my opinion. Thanks for the background on your life, .. I always wonder how peope eolve into knitting and make time for knitting.
Okay, so your mom is awesome and she should totally keep us posted on her progress periodically and you guys together are adorable!! There at the end she said something about "you have to try and if you fail you fail" and I agree with the have to give it a try part, but I think you only fail if you quit, otherwise everything else is just a step on your success journey even the parts that don't look like success!! 😊 Also, I wasn't surprised about your job, I figured it was either something medical or like finance/marketing from your trips and little things you've said, though neurology was surprising, I would have assumed peds. (I was a receptionist in multiple different specialties over the years before my switch to massage therapy) At any rate, knowing this, if you have the discipline to survive and succeed at med school, you have everything you need to reach your student loan goal!!! Keep going, you are one month closer!!!!!!🎉
You’re so kind! I’m really proud of my mom’s attitude towards knitting because it can be really frustrating not being good at something at the beginning. I had to laugh with the Peds comment though. There is no way I could have survived Peds, parents are the worst. But I do make a point of always having the craziest bandaids for my adult patients. 😂😂
@@sundayknittingsociety7245 crazy bandaids can make a big difference to lighten someone's mood in difficult or serious circumstances. When I worked in Family Med at least half of the adults still picked the fun kid band aids when given the choice, and I ALWAYS do!!😂
I look forward every Sunday to your podcast and hoping to catch an extra podcast that you might have thrown in. Can you maybe talk about the Lento again because I just can’t wrap my mind around using a US 10 needle on fingering weight yarn even with mohair and I really want make one. Love your ideas.
You have such a sweet Mom! Would love to see her join you again for updates on her knitting. Thanks for Q&A. Wow! What a stressful job. Thank you for doing what you do. 🌸
I loved seeing your mom! Congratulations on being a doctor! I would have guessed teacher. I was only a legal/executive secretary. I knitted my first sweater in high school.
Wonderful video! Yes please have your mom on again. I wondered if you were an accountant 😂 what an inspiration you are in such an honored profession. God bless you ❤ AND an awesome knitter!
Are you sure you're not from Minnesota? Because I grew up there and listening to you chat is just like sitting with my cousin or a good friend. I love your podcast and glad I found you. I mainly knit socks, blankets and a few small things but you've inspired me to get out my one sweater quantity of yarn and try to knit a sweater. (I've made a couple acrylic sweaters but never a wool one.) Thanks for sharing your love of yarn and knitting!
Haha, I randomly have a Minnesotan accent but I have no idea where it came from! I’ve only been there once. If you can knit socks you can absolutely knit a sweater!
Isn't knitting just the best? Thanks for another wonderful episode. Your mom is delightful. Maybe after her cable hat and socks, she'll want to tackle a lace pattern. What is your favorite knitting technique?
Thank you Jami! I’m not sure if she’ll want to do lace but I think she wanted to try some cabled socks. I want to convince her to knit a sweater. I actually really enjoy mosaic knitting.
@@sundayknittingsociety7245 I haven’t tried mosaic knitting yet but I have everything I need to cast on a cowl and a shawl. I’m trying to finish a couple WIPS before I do that though. I am famous for casting on a new project before I finish anything else. I am learning to knit socks (finished one YEARS ago) on magic loop. I’m down to the heel flap.

Well, when people say that only little old ladies knit, I’m going to show them your wonderful face and tell them what an awesome Doctor you are. (mic drop).

Of your Petite knit sweaters, would you suggest No Frills, Stockholm or Oslo for best fit? I have the suggested yarn to knit the No Frills. Is there anything you don’t like about No Frills?
I haven’t made the Stockholm or Oslo sweaters, so I can’t really speak to them. But I really like the no-frills. I don’t really have anything about it I don’t like honestly.
Hi I am a knitter and I don’t have a budget for a beautiful yarn if u have a left over yarn and u don’t use maybe a charity for a old lady like me if is possible god bless u
It was lovely to see your mom on the show! We evidently have a common love of the brain (I’m a psychologist😆). I’d love to hear some on the science behind how knitting calms the brain. There is some interesting work by a physicist, Dr. Elisabeth Matsumoto, about the structure of the knitting if you’re into that. 🤗🧶🤗

Another one with a stressful job. Knitting is a savior :) And you are lovely as always :)
Thank you! 😊
Knitting and spinning is the best break from science. I'm working on my PhD in Immunology and this is easily one of the best hobbies I've picked up.
I'm currently in medical school in New York! It's good to know I'll still be able to fit in knitting with my schedule when I begin practicing. Thank you for that :)
Oh man, after residency it gets so much better. Hang in there!
Great to see your Mum’s first socks - well done. I was the one who suggested the sock book so hope she does find it useful now that she has bought it.
She has found it very helpful so thank you!
