Loved this video! I was wondering if you could share the yarn store you went to in Portugal. I’m going at the end of the year for a friend’s wedding and I would love to buy some local yarn as a souvenir

Congrats🎉❤

You are positively glowing in this video btw ❤

Congratulations darling. My daughter is 5 months old and my son is 14 years old. One of my favorite parts of pregnancy was going thru all the clothes and washing them (in dreft! I swear by it!) and just ogling over how cute and tiny they are. 🥰 Enjoy all these little moments. That don’t last nearly long enough.

Good luck and best wishes!! I just had my baby boy yesterday!!! Almost didn't make it.. contractions came on so fast baby number 5 and my last .. let me tell you .. I got an epidural last minute and it didn't work omgoodness !! But it never gets old seeing their beautiful faces when they come into the world!! I wish you all the best !!!!!!!

You look so beautiful❤️ I hope everything goes well to you and your family and baby❤️

Your so pretty! Congratulations on your baby <3

Omg that has got to be the most ADORABLE bonnet. When I had my son all I wanted was a little bear bonnet but I never got one, now he's two and he hates hats lol

That outfit so pretty when you due!!

Yep. That’s a sweater vest.

I think it looks great!

The cable pattern is not goid, and the neckopening is ugly

Congratulations on your wedding. It's nice to find another Florida girl who knits! I subscribed.

I recently bought the same colorwork sock book and I’m planning to make the ice cream socks first too. I’m new to colorwork so it’s great to hear your experience so I know what I can expect.

Volume is too low for my old ears

Qi love your video, thank you for sharing. I’m learning also on the magic loop, third time seems to be the charm this time.

Volume

Adore the glove, the colour work you did is amazing! I'm a crocheter and am just about to start knitting my first pair of vanilla socks. I did a little gauge to test my knit size first and am about to start the socks so hopefully the sizing works out. I think I'm going to count the gauge again halfway through the sock to make sure I'm being consistent cause I'm scared lol. I would love to see your past sock projects if you make another sock vid! x

I love the sweater youre wearing did you make that?

I got this book at the beginning big the year and finally cast on socks this last week! I'm making the Tiptoe through the Tulips socks and the Cherry on top socks - though i realised my main colour for the last one had no nylon in it so I've frogged them and am looking for another main colour. I've knit a lot of socks but not really colourwork ones so hoping to master that next!

I laughed when I saw this video title and then your name because I became interested in knitting socks when I was pregnant and then mama to my second baby and I am sure it was the mom brain but for the life of me I could NOT figure them out. I wanted to knit them so badly that I would have dreams of knitting them! When I finally knit my first pair with an afterthought heel I told my husband I wanted them buried with me 😂 anyways, figure them out before those babies! Some tips- use different yarn! I would do a sock yarn with wool and nylon. Wool wicks away moisture and merino is especially good at temperature regulation. I live in Texas and love wool socks at home in the AC! Cotton also tends to have no give, which will hurt your hands after so many stitches and at such a tight gauge it’s not gonna be a pleasant experience. Cotton is also not ideal for color work as it doesn’t like to “grab” on to the other yarn, which helps your floats especially if you’re still figuring out your tension. Third, I’m not sure how cotton will wear on the feet without any other fiber blended into it, usually nylon or polyamide. For color work, I would highly recommend a 9 in. needle to avoid laddering and having to switch needles when you’re just getting the hang of knitting color work, either single handed or with both hands. I do love magic loop for regular socks though, but never use it while knitting color work sleeves or socks unless I have no choice! I do realize this video is five months old, so I hope you were successful and are still pursuing sock knitting! 🙏

Hope your wedding was beautiful.

This video was recommended. I knit a bunch of socks last year. It was a great way to learn a lot about knitting. Crazy Sock Lady has a summer sock camp knit along starting this week. I'm hoping participating will encourage me to get some more socks made. :D I'm going to see what other videos you have made now. :D

I have that book and am working on the snowflake pattern. Slow going only because I got side-tracked by the desire to knit sweaters. Advise: just go for it. Sounds like you are off to a good start. Earthtonesgirl has some wonderful tutorials.

G’day Kristen from South Australia 🇦🇺you popped onto my screen today and I enjoyed your conversation a lot. Seriously, This very week in my mail box was a copy of this knitting book you showed, a birthday gift from my beautiful daughter who resides in another state Queensland, I couldn’t believe it 😂 She had purchased it on line through Amazon too and we had a video call with her when parcel arrived and I showed her the book and we talked about favourite patterns we liked. This was such fun as my daughter owns a small farm with her husband with a beautiful garden so the lavender socks were a treat, the cherries another favourite, we chose chillies socks for her husband because he’s pretty proud of the various hot varieties he grows, the cherries she loved and my favourite is the swan socks. I’m so glad you thought this knitting book was fun and looking forward to seeing your ice cream socks finished, delicious 😂 I’m in process of knitting socks as I watch you. Thank you

Maybe if you watch someone like the chilly dog or earthtones girl you can learn more about gauge, and fit. If you knit too loose a gauge you might get holes in your soles. If you knit colorwork inside out it's stretchier too. It's fun to see a new sock knitter begin the journey. Your mittens look cute.

Im new to knitting. Color work socks are my goal. Iv made the "my favorite vanilla socks" knitting them on 9 inch circular needles made a HUGE difference for me, its less finicky. This book is gorgeous, I added it to my cart thank you for an honest review.
