I would love to see your capsule wardrobe!! It’s an idea that appeals to me but I have yet to take the plunge. Congratulations on 5K subscribers!! That’s a big accomplishment. #sockset #sockbag

Omgosh! I'm saving this to play over and over! So needed. Thank you!

I found this channel yesterday. And I am very interested in the minimalist way of life. Therefore it is very interesting to see how you live it. Please more of it. Greetings from Germany

As always, Nicol, you give great food for thought. Thank you! My word this year is "intentional" and I really am trying to live in the moment rather than buzz through my days multi-tasking. I have been making it a point to be totally focused and actively listening to whoever I am in conversation with rather than checking my watch or looking at my phone for message dings. I want my family/friends to come away from our encounters feeling they've been heard and cared about. That is what brings my soul peace. #sockset

Congratulations on 5k of Subscribers! I enjoyed your episode immensely! Love your #sockbag prize. I am enjoying your Life Tips in addition to your knitting. Keep up the great work!

Hi! I have just discovered your channel and I have enjoyed this episode so much. Your ideas about minimalism really resonate with me, because a true minimalist would probably be appalled by the number of sewing machines, knitting needles , yarn and fabric I have, but they make me happy. And the things you've said about the time and choosing how and who to spend it with, well it is just such a simple truth and you put it so simply and nicely. I will have to go back and watch some of your older episodes, because you seem like a perfect knitting companion with your calm and gentle way of talking. #sockset #sockbag

I feel like I gained so much from your podcast today! You have such a gift in communicating your thoughts. Thank you for opening your home and heart today. #sockbag #sockset

Very inspiring Nikol.... you gave me a lot to think about, thank you. Ivana ❤

Love your #sockbag. I love seeing Natalie's bag that you made her, and knew it was you that created the sweet beauty.

I really love the #sockset and the #sockbag that you made. Love the colors and I'm really gratefull about the reflection on minimalism... Slow simple living is that one thing I keep returning to because I really think I need a change on my life. Thank you

#sockset. This was a good video. Its nice to watch a free thinker that isn’t about following the crowd but doing what makes you feel good. Its refreshing, thanks.

Thanks for the book recommendation! I just ordered it. I love both the #sockbag and the #sockset. Congrats on 5K subscribers!

Thank you for your podcast and to bring the subject of simple living, it falls right on point in my life. I will definitely read more about it. As I was watching, I was looking around my little office where I knit, crochet, paint and watch knitting podcast and your words resonated with me!! Congrats for your 5k subscribers, #sockbag #sockset 💐

Congrats on reaching 5,000! I look forward to your videos every month.😊 #sock bag and #sock set

Your sweater is very nice and long sleeves would be practical with colder weather coming and the beautiful color. Thank you for your views, you gave me a lot to think about.

I enjoyed this episode because I can relate to feeling overwhelmed with all of the items out and about while wanting to encourage my kids to draw or craft. The crazy sock lady has a tutorial about knitting two at a time for the heel and it was really helpful! #sockbag

Congratulations on the 5000! I look forward to your videos, they are so calming. The camping and the minimalism are both are great for kids and family. I really like the bag you made #sockbag The yarn is nice too #sockset

Congratulations on 5000 subscribers. I have just recently found your podcast and am so enjoying spending time with you. Thanks for the generous prizes you are giving! #sockbag #sockset

Congratulations on 5000 subscribers!! Loved your talk on a minimal lifestyle. This summer I have had 2 kids home from college and stuff is everywhere! So inspired to reclaim my counters and closets and cabinets! Wonderful giveaway too! 😊 #sockset #sockbag

Congratulations on reaching 5 k. Great episode and while I’m not a minimalist I admire those who are. Time is a precious commodity these days and time spent being with those you choose to be with or doing what you want is the most important part of living a fulfilled life. Enjoy your week Nikol. #sockbag #sockset

Congrats on reaching 5K! The #sockbag is so beautiful. Your thoughts on time and minimalism was really interesting.

I really enjoyed this video Nicole! Thank you for sharing your minimalist journey with us. Congratulations on 5k subscribers! That is a big accomplishment. #sockbag #sockset

Love watching your podcast. What a loving #sockset and #sockbag. Enjoy your day.

Agreed! I’m an introvert. A statement not an apology. The older I get the more how I use my time is so important. I am more and more interested in minimalism to help me use my time wisely. This was an interesting video.

I've never been one for friends or casual outings. Like you, I prefer the company of my family, my dogs and myself. Solitude is something I not only enjoy, but crave; to be alone with a book or knitting project is cherished time indeed. #sock set or #bag- either would bring me joy

Wow!!! Love all you spoke about… I too try to stay grounded with less… love love the #sockbag!!! Just beautiful!!! Thank you Stephanie

I agree. 100%…I don’t feel the need to socialize if I don’t want to. My husband and family are my priority. I love the idea of minimalism, but I must admit my yarn addiction is a little out of control lol. I enjoy your podcasts…have a relaxing day😊

Congratulations on reaching 5K! I loved this episode and I’m going back to watch your previous episodes now. I love your vibe. #sockset #sockbag

I am really enjoying your videos. Excellent reminders of how precious our time is! Congratulations on the 5k. #sockbag

Thank you for a lovely podcast and sharing your thoughts on minimalism not just what you should do but how you practice it. I am a bit of a hoarder and really want to use up all of my stash before buying anything new and its scary how much I accumulated over the last few years.

Nicole! Congratulations on reaching 5K. Every single one of your podcasts resonate, but this one was beyond spot on, and listening to you share in your straightforward, calm, focused manner is just the perfect way to spend a few minutes (while knitting). Thank you for bringing your grace and creativity, with such warmth and simplicity to your friends in this community. #sockbag

Congratulations on reaching 5,000 subscribers and thank you for the simple living inspiration. #sockbag

So glad I found this channel and someone who is also inspired to a minimal lifestyle. I've been living and creating a minimal household for the last few years and my family has slowly come to my way of thinking, especially now in today's troubled economic times. It is very easy to get sucked into buying especially when you see what others are showing or knitting but like yourself, I've been knitting through my stash to use what I have to give away to family throughout the year.

I have been working on being very intentional about what is coming into my home & also paring down what we already own, so this podcast really hit home for me & encouraged me to keep going! Congrats on 5k subscribers - that's amazing! Thank you for the generous giveaway #sockbag #sockset

#sockbag ADORED this video- thank you so much for sharing your minimalist inspired tips❤

#sockset #sockbag. What an insightful podcast. You are so smart. Minimalism is a great way to truly enjoy your life. Thanks for the giveaway.

I mentioned in a previous comment that we have so many common things. Watching this video showed me we see think very similarly and it all makes sense now!

Congratulations on 5000 subscribers! I always look forward to your podcasts. I’ve been thinking of knitting this sweater too but I need to finish a couple projects first. Thanks for sharing the book and being so generous. #sockset

You’ve given me lots to think about how much stuff I have. Thanks for opening up that inner dialogue for me. #sockbag

Loved your real talk about slow living, I’m going to look for both books you talked about. Congrats on 5,000 🎉🎉🎉 #sockbag, #sockset, both are lovely and wonderful for you to do a giveaway.

Congratulations on 5k+ Nikol! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Two years ago we moved from Oregon to Arkansas and had three big yard sales plus gave away a ton of stuff. It’s amazing the things you accumulate over the years. We downsized from 4300+ sq. ft. to 1600 sq. ft. You really have to be aware of what you are taking in. I have room for one crafting hobby now and that is knitting/crochet (I think that counts as one 😂). I can always use project bags so the beautiful #sockbag is perfect. I love the yarn but I doubt I would use it. Thank you!!! 🌲

Such a cute #sockbag! Thanks for sharing 🧶🧶🧶

It's been hectic around here with back to school things with and for our grandchildren so I'm a little late watching your video. It is amazing to me that your counters and tables are clear! I gave up following my husband and children (now grandchildren) around and picking up after them years ago. Now it's limited to every 2 weeks I clear surfaces. Within 2 days most are starting to fill again. I resolutely ignore the clutter until the next clearing day. I realized I was making myself (and only myself) unhappy by focusing on neatness. This won't work for everyone, but now I don't fuss about my husband leaving a pair of shoes at each entry door (we have 3) and we are both happier. #sockbag

I loved this video, different from what I usually see on knitting channels but still relevant , interesting and right up my alley! We live very similarly when it comes to what you discussed here. I’d love to see your capsule wardrobe please. And of course, congrats on 5K, I personally would love this gorgeous #sockbag !

I like the colourway of ur wip sweater. The #sockset yarn looks very beautiful.

Thank you so much for raising these issues. I couldn't agree more with the statements about time. I love the purging. The family on the other hand, lol, they're a WIP! I'm HR for Target so the struggle is real and I fight the good fight every day! #sockset #sockbag Congrats on 5k!!❤

I resonate with all of these wonderful thoughts and insights! My husband and I just retired 3 years ago, sold our family home where we raised our children, got rid of SO MUCH (and still am)...feels amazing! I just went into Hobby Lobby today, and became very anxious at all of the stuff on display. Walked out empty handed...best feeling ever! Continued success with your channel! I get so excited when I receive notifications of a new episode! ❤️ #sockbag

Congrats on 5k! I love the serenity of your podcast and now it is very clear to me that it is also due to your minimalist and simple living approach to life. #sockbag #sockset

I absolutely love your podcast . It so relaxing to watch, and so informative. Thank you for taking the time to share your life with everyone.

Congratulations! I’ve really enjoyed watching your videos. I love all the things you have talked about. #sockbag #sockset. Both are beautiful!

Congrats on 5k. #sockset and #sockbag are both very nice. Enjoy watching your podcasts.

Great video. It took me a long time to stand up for myself about choosing who and how I spend my time. Thank you for sharing. #sockbag #sockset

#sockbag . I agree, I chose to spend time with my husband and adult children over any other activity

I loved hearing about your striving for a simple life! Thank you! #sockbag

Congratulations on 5K subscribers! So glad I found this channel - your creativity is very inspiring. #sockbag #sockset

Congratulations on 5K! I enjoy watching your podcasts! #sockbags #sockset ❤️

It was so nice to hear your thoughts and information on minimalism. So true! Congratulations on 5K!❤ #sockbag #sockset

#SOCKBAG AND #SOCKSET. I am so happy that I am included in the first 5000! 🎉 Congratulations!

Great podcast! Love the calm vibe.. and I enjoy you being frank, “it is what it is”! I do really enjoy my knitting but I also want ALL the finished projects because I want to use/wear them… I have to constantly remind myself to enjoy the process!! I always knit my socks concurrently on 9inch circulars, because I know myself and I will not go back and knit that 2nd one!!😊 #sockbag

I'm fascinated & inspired by your lifestyle. Good for you for living with intention. #sockset #sockbag

This was so beyond helpful and encouraging! Thank you for sharing this and also congratulations on making 5k!! 🎉🎉 #sockbag #sockset

#sockbag or #sockset Congratulations on 5,000 ❤ I really enjoyed your minimalist talk! Time is a big deal! And family is so important! My happy place is all the crafts…….❤

Congrats on 5000 subscribers and thanks for sharing your minimalist lifestyle. #sockset, #bag. ❤

Congrats! I really enjoy your podcasts and the most recent discussion. Thank you for your inspiration! #sockbag

Such a great topic!!! I am a crafter and have been thinking about this too. Thank you for sharing, subscribed to hear you chat!

Beautiful #sockset yarn and #sockbag project bag 💼 congratulations on 5k 🎉🎉

Great video!! I am going to have to check out that book! Thank you so much for sharing. And congrats on 5k!!!!! You deserve it 😊 #sockset #sockbag

Nice. Pretty knitting I like the # sockset and #sockbag.

Congratulations on 5K!!! 🎉 I’m trying to simplify my life so all of your tips were awesome. I watch knitty natty as well so I’ll keep my eye out for your bag. #sockbag #sockset

I enjoyed this talk...definitely got me thinking about ways to simplify...#sockbag.

What lovely thoughts. Thanks for bringing us along your journey. #sockbag #sockset

I love your channel, thank you for sharing your knitting with us! #sockbag

I really enjoy your approach to simplicity and making. I always look forward to your videos. Congrats on 5K. #sockbag

I'm finding the older I get (mid 50s) I need quiet time alone knitting, to reset myself and calm down from the stress the outside world causes. I also remember back when my kids were young, running to Target and caryying bags n bags of stuff in. Its a relief to not be focused on the accumulation of things anymore. I've seen your bag on Knitty Natty, it's gorgeous. #sockbag

Time. I’m constantly trying to claim time for myself. Time to rest and reset and time for knitting and self care. In a busy, noisy world it’s so hard to just be. Congratulations on reaching 5k, I really enjoy your podcasts. #sockset #sockbag

Thank you for all of the minimalism tips. I read The More of Less by Joshua Becker a few years ago and something clicked and I’ve never looked back. I already subscribe to Sock Squad, but I love your #sockbag! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for your thoughtful video. Great points around value of our time and keeping our consumption balanced with our need to make things. I’m a work in progress on these things. Case in point - I love your #projectbag

#sockbag and #sockset the talk about time management really resonated with me. I needed to hear that today.

I so enjoy your podcast. I look forward to seeing all the socks you’re making. I love knitting socks as well. #sockset

Great advice. # sockbag please. Looking forward to listening again

I need to take lessons on minimalism. Even with several moves and purges I don't learn my lessons. Congratulations on 5K. #bothofthem

#SOCKSET #SOCKBAG . Congratulations on 5K . So enjoy your example on simple living- as I crawl out of 30 years of a bustling family of 3 sons all grown and flown. I didn’t carry enough out either but better! Always look forward to your videos! Have fun camping!!

loved your thoughts and inspirations! I have been trying to minimalize but I have my mom in my head because she always used to say "you may need that some day!" LOL a but I'm trying, so thank you for your inspiration and ideas. Love the yarn for your tee! it would look really nice with sleeves :-) #sockbag

Congratulations on 5k!! I enjoy your podcasts and especially enjoyed your thoughts on the minimalistic lifestyle. It is so freeing to sidestep the endless marketing tactics trying to lure us in on things we don't truly need. #sockset #sockbag

That was so interesting,,,,agree with alot,, I have to purge and especially my craft room,,,,Will feel so good!! #sockbag #sockset Elaine💗💗🏡 Congrats on 5,000,,,!!

Thanks for another great video! Congrats🎉 on reaching 5,000 subscribers!! I think that is an amazing accomplishment!! I think either the #sockset or the #sockbag would be an amazing prize!!

Thank you for the book recommendation and sharing ideas about reclaiming time and space to be creative. I’m looking forward to reading it! Congratulations on reaching 5k subscribers! #sockset #sockbag

congratulations on 5k! You deserve it! I'm also trying taat socks for the first time, the heels have definitely been a little challenging, but I'm through and onto the body of the foot! #sockbag #sockset

I also consider myself a minimalist and of course a knitter. I actually think quite similar as you. It's important to me to have a calm environment at home where a creative chaos doesn't overwhelm me. I love your #sockbag. 🙂

I stumbled across your podcast a few weeks ago and love everything that you share, from knitting to lifestyle. I am in the process of going back and watching all your videos. Love, love them! I am also interested in seeing your capsule wardrobe in a future video as I am currently in the process of building one and would like to learn more. Congratulations on 5,000 subscribers. #sockbag #sockset

#sockbag I loved this video!! I, too, am a practicing minimalist. I call it a practice because I struggle with some hoarding tendencies - esp on crafting supplies!! I come by it honestly as my Grandmother hoarded fabric like a champ! 😂 This was very timely as I have been feeling the whole bringing in more than taking out feeling my own self. Thanks for the inspiration and for such a thoughtful and thought provoking message!!

#SOCKBAG Thank you for being frank and honest about your life. I appreciate your calm attitude about your life. It’s refreshing.

I enjoy your podcast so much. I recently went back and watched all of them all over again! I love that you’ve shared more about your simplified home process. I’d LOVE to see your capsule wardrobe because I’m always so overwhelmed with clothing and I’d love to do this but have no idea where to start! Congratulations on your new subscriber count! That Rifle paper company (?) #sockbag is gorgeous! ❤

Congrats on the 5k. Your Videos are so relaxing and calm down. Thanks for doing this wonderful job. #sockbag

Thank you for an amazing wise words 🤗 I love to hearing you and if course congratulations 5k 🤩🤩🤩 this bag is great so #sockbag 🤗🤗🤗

5 thousand is huge. And I really like some of your takes on being more minimal without being a minimalist, because I don’t see a lot of people with that take and it’s empowering. #sockbag

Thank you for sharing your views on minimalism…I have been working on getting rid of all the clutter this entire year! Congrats on hitting 5000!!! I would love either prize if I win…I’m grateful for your generosity…good luck everyone #sockbag #sockset

What a great episode! We moved a year ago and I’m still not sure where to find all my crafting tools and it drives me crazy and it so inefficient. I am trying to declutter, too, but I just can’t make decisions to organize. This was never a problem before, but it’s become an issue in the last couple of years. I swore I’d never become one of those! Oh, well; one foot in front of the other, and slowly make progress. #sockset #sockbag

As my brother would say, we are older than dirt! And, I say …..good on you!! I don’t know why you approached life in such a way at such a young age, but good on your! Those of us, who are older than dirt, found this way of life so much later. So, when your ‘friends’ become older than dirt, they can join you on this journey! I love this channel! We are capable of learning new things each and every day of our lives! Thank you for taking the time to podcast and have a wonderful day, week, year, life❤

5,000 subscribers is a big thing. Congratulations! I like the idea of simple living and so needed to hear your thoughts on the topic of time. This video was so much appreciated. I will look up the books you referenced. Thanks so much for choosing to spend your time with us. You are a treasure. #sockbag #sockset
