That Katrinkles ruler is THE best sock knitting tool out there. Any sock I have knit using the size on it, absolutely fits the recipient.

Thank you for the tour of your Yarn Cave! It's so much fun to be able to "snoop" around in other people's yarn stashes!

That yarn from your Grandma is so special. Maybe put it in a shadowbox on the wall so you can enjoy looking at it and thinking of her, but not have hives lol

@cmb4280 Жыл бұрын

You should hang the alpaca skein from your grandma on the wall like your sock blockers! Then you can see it and be reminded of your grandma every time you see it. It shouldn’t be hiding. 😊

Hi Kay, I always feel that Advent is fun.... but with all the work you do for Vlogmas... no wonder you feel some pressure! Thank you for sharing on Vlogmas, it always adds to the fun of my Advent. 💖🤗And your office is amazing ... more knitting is good! Katrinkles is awesome, lots of cool tools to find and order on their website! Happy knitting!

I crochet a lot of potholders, personally I use a 5mm crochet hook and start with 40 chain stitches. My husband prefers a larger potholder to fit his hands better. I also use lily sugar and cream yarn. My favorite color way right now is Mistletoe.

@CrazySockLady 7 ай бұрын

Awesome!! I definitely will chain more for this yarn if I use it in the future. But I’m actually thinking about going to Joann’s and getting some regular cotton yarn today.

The tour of your Yarn Cave was so much fun! I adore those cabinets. I'd be arranging and rearranging yarn for hours. Oh that's too bad that you're allergic to alpaca. I finished a shawlette from Alpaca yarn this spring that my neighbor gave me,-it's from her sister's Alpaca farm in Newark OH. I love it-it's so soft and warm. At my fastest I couldn't get a DK sock knit as fast as you do. I'm a "thrower" which probably slows me down. I just can't seem to get the hang of Continental knitting-wish I could. Maybe I could knit through my stash faster? 🙄 Whoever is getting those DK socks will love them-that blue is gorgeous! I have 1 more thing to knit for Christmas for one of the little girls across the street. I finally had to tell myself that there's NO WAY I can get anymore knit before Sunday when we go to our daughter's in NH for an early Christmas. Watch-I'll still try to squeeze it in.🤦‍♀ As far as your large advent projects go-look at all the fun things you'll have to work on to start the new year!!!

@victoriabailey-johnson5868 Жыл бұрын

You have a pretty sizable stash lime me. But I just enjoy looking and touching it. Brings me such joy. It’s amazing how fast you can knit. I crochet. Starting a baby blanket for my first great grandchild, due in April.

@catherinetuwi6267 Жыл бұрын

Your attitude is definitely right about doing all the things on specific days. Candles and ducks can easily be done whenever you need and not on the numbered day! You've got a lot going on, be kind to yourself! That yarn stash is fantastic and definitely SABLE (stash acquired beyond life expectancy), though you seem to knit a lot faster than I do! I really enjoy planning a 'Make 9' list every year and sometimes do a few things like hats or baby garments that aren't on that list. Do you enjoy the planning of knitting? I'm sitting here in Vanuatu, in front of a fan, 30*C (86*F), crocheting stripey teddies to give to my daughters and the niece who lives with us, for Christmas. Thanks for sharing your vlogma knitting time with me!

@coralshuster5124 Жыл бұрын

Katrinkles has mini tools that are like little squares and she has one for women's shoe sizes and men's shoe sizes and it tells you inches for foot length based on shoe size! They're really helpful for knitting socks on the go!

@shearaeknitting5555 Жыл бұрын

I agree with you on the sock ruler, I have one of them and they are so handy, I don’t measure my socks any other way now. I had a thought for the yarn that your grandmother gave you, what if you knit a cushion cover that way you can use the yarn and enjoy it without having to wear it.

Oh Kay, I love your stash! Make me feel a bit less bad about mine, but I’m sure a lot of this is leftover stock from your store. All the choices!! What a dream to knit with. You certainly deserve all the fun Yarn to play with and inspire you. All so squish-able. Love it!!!

@@CrazySockLady still incredibly awesome! I think it’s so important to bring things into our lives that provide us joy. For some it’s books, wool and watercolor paints (me). You certainly deserve all the yummy wool, especially with how you inspire others through your fiber art :).

You probably know this but I can’t let it not be said. Have you tried wearing alpaca after it’s washed? I have heard from 2 people now that working up alpaca bothers them but not wearing the washed finished product.

Maybe store your alpaca yarn in a clear container to display. And the fibers won't get on your other yarns.

Hi, I’m new to your channel after discovering your vanilla sock tutorial. I’ve made three pairs so far and am hoping to get the last pair ready to gift for Christmas. It seems I’m now addicted to knitting socks! If I was to knit socks using DK would I need to adjust the number of stitches? Thank you!
