My plans for 2024 include some more fair-isle cardigan knitting for my granddaughters the little girls are 8 months and 3 years and their mums are very knit worthy 💕🧶thank you Kate for sharing your love of knitting 💕

@suzannegates3651 6 месяцев назад

so happy to see this up on RU-vid

@valeriemoorcroft6838 6 месяцев назад

Congratulations, Kate, on 7 years 😊. My plans for this year are to keep persevering with sock knitting. I've made 3 pairs so far on 9-inch circular needles, but I really want to use dpns and also to tackle magic loop. I've been knitting for over 40 years and feel so pleased that I've finally cracked sock knitting. I enjoy your podcasts and look forward to every one. You always give me the inspiration to keep trying. Thank you again 💓

@darcyspies828 6 месяцев назад

Wow 7 years, Congratulations!! I have a pair of socks on my needles, also a vest on my needles, and plans for so many more projects! I have the Daily Pullover my lineup and I’d love to do a cable sweater or vest as well as some colourwork this year. Thank you for a lovely episode!

@jenniferyokell638 6 месяцев назад

I was happy to sit with you today and watch you blogging again. I love the shawl you are wearing.

@mindy8448 6 месяцев назад

such a joy to watch you again and see your projects. my plans include finish knitting socks for husband, then knit ankle socks for a dear friend, and then resume a top down raglan pullover out of sport weight yarn. all fun projects with wonderful tactile joy

@mokepemberley4525 6 месяцев назад

The yarn is so lovely! I love the colors of your shawl/scarf.😍

@aussieirene 6 месяцев назад

Hi Kate, congratulations on your 7 year anniversary. I plan to learn brioche this year and, like you, knit what I enjoy 🎉

@ireneblais9077 6 месяцев назад

So nice to see you podcasting Kate. I enjoyed vlogs over December very much and I was thrilled to see you again this month. Like you, I am hoping to knit what I love with my special stash yarn. Until we meet again from Ottawa Valley, Ontario. ❤

@Woollykindknits 6 месяцев назад

Love your logo, Kate 💚 what special Staten Island yarn! Congrats to the winners 🧶 Happy 7th podiversary! In 2024 I plan to knit a pair of socks each month from stash yarn using birthstone colors and patterns from designers I have never knit from.

@junewilliams9257 6 месяцев назад

Congratulations on 7 years. My plans for 2024 to to always have a project on my needles or crochet hook. I'm on my second pair of socks this year both a crazy sock lady pattern.

@triciabasham8317 6 месяцев назад

Plans for 2024....Coming to Belfast in May!!! Thanks for the mention of Lighthouse yarns and will be keen to get some yarn souvenirs. Congratulations on 7 years of podcasts.

@joannewiggins2152 6 месяцев назад

Congratulations on 7 years! 🎉 Time flys! I’m hoping to knit more socks this year. I have an abundance of sock yarns that seemed to have multiplied while I wasn’t looking! 😂

@yolandaperkins6291 4 месяца назад

🎊 Congratulations on your 7 Year Milestone Kate!!🥳 Your finished makes look great! My plans for this year are to work on building my knitting skills past knit and purl so I can make some socks and shawls of my own🤗

@knitgirl.7676 6 месяцев назад

I am also a big fan of Studio Donegal. I have a beautiful green sweater quantity in my stash waiting for the perfect project. and you have inspired me to knit another Weekender with it. I have one knit in Brooklyn Tweed Shelter and it is one of my most worn sweaters. It is lovely to see you again.

@mandyball5806 6 месяцев назад

Congratulations on 7yrs Kate, love your podcast. My crafty plans for this year are to try & complete my WIPs & use some of the beautiful yarn in my stash x

@deloresjackson437 Месяц назад

It was lovely to have a cup of tea as I knit with you. I am working on the Artus shawl that I am beginning to grudge knit, as my husband calls it. I hope your sock knitting continues to go well, and I look forward to seeing your next episode. Cheers!

@juliehannaford634 6 месяцев назад

Congratulations on 7 years. I am new to knitting but have managed to make some socks so will look at Kay litton thank you for sharing. Your green sweater is absolutely beautiful the green is also my favourite colour.

@ThreeSistersKnit 6 месяцев назад

Congratulations on 7 years! 🎉 I am excited to hopefully go to Knit City Toronto in the spring. As for my knitting plans for the year I am going to knit another Birds of a Feather shawl, a casual sweater and as always socks. I love the calmness of your podcast. Shelagh

@sharontaylor9010 6 месяцев назад

So lovely to see you again Kate - your podcasts are a real treat. I’ve only knit a couple of pairs of socks so this year I plan to knit a pair a month & try something other than vanilla socks. And try and finish my cozy memories blanket - oh and ponchos! I seem to have a thing for ponchos (no sleeve island) xx

@annmoore6562 6 месяцев назад

Wow, Kate! Way to get your sock mojo back! That studio donegal yarn makes me drool - especially the dark green. My knitting plans for this year include attempting to finish a fingering weight colour work sweater. I will tell you - it's not a quick knit. I would likely make better progress if I didn't always have a pair of socks on the needles as well.. But, we all have our addictions! Thanks for podcasting. I've seen them all.

@reneeedwards9089 6 месяцев назад

Happy 7th year of sharing your life and knitting with us. This year, I'm doing Lucky Dip, as I have since you introduced it. My family members have benefitted with new socks each Christmas. My stash is probably the same size though. I can't resist a beautiful yarn when I see it.

@maggieanderson592 6 месяцев назад

7 years! Wow! Congratulations. My plans are to enjoy FOUR Scottish yarn festivals ( in Edinburgh, Galashiels, Perth and Glasgow) and to make some dents in my stash, although I realise those 2 plans may prove contradictory!😂

@mareesharples5480 6 месяцев назад

Hi Kate, congratulations on 7 years podcasting. I plan to travel to Wellington in May and attend the fibre festival there with my daughter. My knitting plans for 2024 is to clear some of my WIP's.

@nicoletteSK 6 месяцев назад

Great to see a new podcast. I really enjoyed your vlogmas. Knitting plans for the start of 2024 mainly involve either finishing the wips on needles or frogging them. Some have been languishing for the past five years and decisions need to be made.

@marionmcinnes2266 6 месяцев назад

Great to see you back love seeing what you have been working on

@katrinapittman193 6 месяцев назад

Congrats on 7 years! My knitting plans are to focus on knitting through my sweater quantities and yarns that have projects picked out already. They're all things I really want to make with yarn I'm really excited to work with but they've just been sitting so i would really like to work through them this year.

@benteb361 6 месяцев назад

Thank you for a cozy episode, I was knitting on a Sway Line Sweater when watching. I love the idea behind the luckydipkal to get some of the old stashed yarns used. I like the patterns from The Crazy Sock Lady too and have several of her patterns in my Ravelry Library. Happy knitting.

@Pine-uc7pm 6 месяцев назад

It great to see you again. Love what you are wearing and the mug you are using.

@Hide_and_silk 6 месяцев назад

I lost the use of my left hand at the beginning of January so my aim for this year is, with the help of my lovely physio, Natalie, to get the use back in my fingers so I can knit again. Congrats on 7 years!!

@ruthraven5081 6 месяцев назад

I’d love to knit at sweater like the weekender. I am always knitting socks. Love your podcasts.

@saftabc5962 5 месяцев назад

Congratulations on 7 years of podcasting. I am hoping to knit one pair a month of Crazy Sock Lady socks. Started with ‘Morning Coffee’ and next will be ‘Heel Toe Do Si Do’. I also plan to knit 2 dishcloths and 2 crochet 2 dishcloths a month. We’ll see how all that goes. Love your socks.

@lynne9870 6 месяцев назад

Lovely to see you - my favourite podcast :-) After many years knitting I only discovered socks last year - I've got the bug! So I'll probably knit along just doing crazy sock lady patterns. Although - I've got a lace shawl to finish for a gift, and yet another Musselburgh hat someone is waiting for....Does anyone else have endless project lists?

@Calicocat2 6 месяцев назад

Dear Kate, I was just hoping to hear from you. You are the coziest and most beautiful person - always a joy to see you. What do you do if you make a mistake and have to pull back? Can you find the error and fix it with lace work? Bless you and your family in 2024 and always.

@HawthornCottageCraft 6 месяцев назад

It’s socks I just pull back but if I’m knitting something that’s bigger with a lace pattern I use life lines….i find it difficult finding my place when ripping back lace and would end up pulling it all out!🤣

@sallykulkowski9045 6 месяцев назад

Lovely episode.my goal for 2024 is to teach my granddaughter how to knit.shes 5 at present but I told her that when she's 6 in April then she can start her lessons..she's so excited as she always see me with my knitting not far away.the next generation of knitters is in the making

@debbiestuckey6599 6 месяцев назад

I plan on knitting lots of pairs of socks, mostly for me. 😅 There are so many beautiful yarns and patterns! I also want to knit some animal hand puppets for granddaughters. ☺️🥰 ... Amigurumi animal toys, some crochet, some knit... The Whitmore cardigan for myself. Thank you for sharing Kate! It was lovely to see you and your knits!! ❤

@debbiedreger5290 6 месяцев назад

Thank you for a wonderful podcast. I too lost my knitting mojo last year … watching your vlogmas episodes got me picking up the needles again.

@ericallerton809 6 месяцев назад

❤lovely to see you again!! Kate 🎉 Congratulations on 7 years!!!!I really enjoy ur chats and knitting !!! Definitely socks .socks..socks for me!!!I am addicted to them .. A shawl or two...blankets..just enjoying it all!!! Thanks so much Elaine ☃️

@marilynjacobs9227 6 месяцев назад

Good to see your podcast. I love it on so many levels. (Including the music)

@boskat98 6 месяцев назад

Hello Kate, well, I had a lovely time knitting in your room. Those socks are so beautiful. 😍 That will also be my plan for this year. But now I have a sweater for my husband on the needles. And I want to knit another sweater for myself. These patterns come from garnstudio Drops. Then there is a gardening friend who wants a cardigan. I don’t know wich she want. But there are always socks among the big projects. You can't have enough of it. Much knitting greetings from Lily🌸

@clairemc 6 месяцев назад

So happy to see the first 2024 episode land xx love the green. Plans for this year...first finish my pair of socks!! Knit things that bring me joy is the 2024 motto. Would love to try a garment this year and specifically lighter items for Spring and Summer. Hope to attend our local wool festival and try not to buy a mountain of wool! X

@karijames381 6 месяцев назад

So good to see you! I am taking a fleece to shawl class, it’s something I have wanted to do for a long time so that’s my big plan and a sweater for my husband.

@marinawelch3964 6 месяцев назад

I love watching your podcasts. My plans knitting plans this year include knitting 1-2 pair of socks a month. I love Crazy Sock Lady patterns and her tutorials are the best! I plan to attend Maryland Sheep and Wool in May for my first big festival.

@cindykeene7177 6 месяцев назад

Hi Kate, It was lovely to see you today. I'm on the Crazy Sock Lady bandwagon too! I have 2 pair of the DK vanilla socks done & 1 Do So Do sock finished. Love the Lucky Dip KAL & will be participating again this year. Thanks for sharing all your beautiful knits & happy knitting

@barbaraangier9967 6 месяцев назад

Hi Kate. Congratulations on 7 years. Lovely to see you podcasting again. My knitting plans this year include going to Knit City Toronto …..I’d love to go to rhinebeck but we’ll see. I’d really like to knit more from my stash…..and more sock knitting!!

@lauraarmstrong4601 5 месяцев назад

So many socks! I hope, this year, to make 1 pair a month - plus I have two lacy shawls that have been in the plans for ages, and I'm determined that this is the year.

@catherineward8708 6 месяцев назад

Great to see a full podcast again. I'm now researching how I can get to Studio Donegal while visiting my son at the Gaeltact in June in our motor home (not as fancy as it sounds) . Dragged the whole family to Doolin in Oct for let's knit festival and had a great time so they are hopefully going to go along with it

@Hellen-pf7ts 6 месяцев назад

Such a calm and cozy podcast Kate, your socks are all lovely. 2024 for me is all about conquering colourwork socks, I've had a few fails (too tight!) and am currently knitting a Winwick Mum pattern called the Treasure socks but going up to a 2.75mm for the colourwork AND increasing that part of the sock to 72 stitches. It will probably fit a giant by the time it's done😅😂. Congratulations on 7 years of podcasting.

@pamelageoghegan8859 6 месяцев назад

Great to see you again, Kate. I love the shawl you are wearing. I am currently doing the Attic 24 Sungold CAL in the colourwash version. Hopefully, this year I will manage to knit some shawls in the beautiful hand-dyed yarns I purchased from Skein Queen, All About the Yarn, Cookston Crafts and Lay Family Yarns. Hope you have a good week.

@TheCATTLadyDesigns 6 месяцев назад

Love your shawl! For socks (which I haven’t made in forever) if I have two sets of needles I will work on them concurrently. That definitely helps with second sock syndrome!

@katiab3548 6 месяцев назад

It's great to see you knitting socks! I would love to go to a big knitting festival too and also to use yarn from my stash.😊

@cathyamos2269 6 месяцев назад

Thanks Kate - love all your projects! I'd like to make a cardigan and a vest this year along with lots of socks. There are two local yarn festivals this fall near me which I hope to attend (Ontario Canada).

@twonightingalesknit 6 месяцев назад

Hi Kate, I started to watch your podcast just before Vlogmas, and what a wonderful lady you are. You seem so warm and kind. I've just re connected with my faith, so later on this year, I hope to design a shawl that symbolises that. I haven't designed anything before, and my health isn't great, so it could be a disaster 😊. Thank you for sharing your time and creations with us x

@nelly6919 4 месяца назад

I really enjoy your podcasts & vlogs Kate. My plans for this year 2024 are to finish off some wips, knit a waterfall cardigan & try some of the Crazy Sock Lady patterns I have purchased over the years & as yet have never tried. Although the only thig getting knit on at the moment is my ongoing Cosy Memory blanket. Its a memoriail to one of my pets that passed a couple of years ago. Take care x

@LobstermansWife 6 месяцев назад

I love all your socks!! I would love to knit a pair of socks a month and have a box of socks by the end of the year 🧦 I have also started three different baby blankets (2 crochet and 1 knit) to add to my gift stash which is quite low. My plan is to fill my gift box as much as I can so I have some done up ahead! I can’t wait to see your Weekender! That green is so lovely 🥰

@lauraeaton2092 6 месяцев назад

Kate, you inspired me to use my one skein of Donegal tweed to make a cushion cover so I can enjoy it all year. Also getting on the vest bandwagon and making the Galanta vest by Carol Feller.

@patriciahall8733 6 месяцев назад

I have a very tiny foot for an adult, but then I am only 4’8” as well. I knit my socks with 76 stitches using a 1.5mm needle. So comfortably warm and cozy sock and I have never worn a hole in any of them. I am still wearing the first ones I made for myself, which was probably 20 years ago, so they hold up really well. I also knit socks for my son, husband and other family members on the same size needles. Depending on their shoe size I will adjust the number of stitches, but love the density and durability of the smaller needles.

@katecoyle5623 6 месяцев назад

I’m a great fan of Kay, The Crazy Sock Lady. My goal is to knit a pair of socks a month. Happy New Year and Happy Birthday and Anniversary!

@Pine-uc7pm 4 месяца назад

Congratulations on your seventh year. I am hoping to knit a pair of socks each month.

@postulatedspace 6 месяцев назад

I have knitting for years but never socks. But this year I finally caught the sock knitting bug. So this episode is personally very meaningful to me. I absolutely love seeing all of your socks. My knitting plan for 2024 is a good one - 1. Knit 6 pairs of socks 2. knit 1 color work garment 3. frog the projects I no longer feel joy, without the guilt. Life is short. Why am I hanging onto projects I no longer enjoy?

@terrycammack7230 6 месяцев назад

Loved your podcast. I also love Studio Donegal yarn. Your socks are beautiful. I really need to get my sock mojo back as I’ve been baby knitting for my 10th grandchild. Looking forward to your next podcast!

@andreamagill7034 6 месяцев назад

Lovely to see you❤ Your socks are lovely and the colours in the Weekender are very beautiful. I plan to use my stash and patterns from books. I am currently knitting the Flax sweater from tin can knits 🧶

@kimberlyr5227 6 месяцев назад

Hello from Canada Kate…my yarny plans for 2024 are firstly to involve myself less in the social media, techy world and focus more on reading and of course knitting. I intend on organizing my stash and creating many of the items on my 2024 list. I am currently working on the Strom Cardigan by Rachel Hunter as well as socks, socks and more socks. Excellent podcast as usual! All the best to you and yours…Congratulations on lucky number 7….❤🙏🏻

@carolinepartridge668 6 месяцев назад

Enjoyed your company Kate whilst I knitted on socks also. My plans are a festival or two , starting with EAYF and really to knit what makes me happy this year . I really do want to make an effort to use up much more of my stash and have a sort out of any I no longer want to hold onto . If I didn't buy and more yarn at all this year (and that won't be the case) I would still happily have plenty of choice from my stash and there's a lot to be grateful for in that .

@marilynwheatley2363 6 месяцев назад

So much fun seeing all your socks. This year I hope to complete several of the projects I started last year and lost interest in. I’ve placed the “time out” project bags in a huge basket & plan to blindly pick one each month. Surprise! It’ll be fun!

@jayshreeshah6245 6 месяцев назад

Wonderful to see you again Kate. Loved your vlogmas too. Many many congratulation on 7 yrs. I am knitting a wedding shawl for my daughter. I want to finish a sweater I started last summer, it getts interupted by other projects.🤔

@RhondaLorch 6 месяцев назад

Lovely to see your smiling face Kate. I was lucky to visit Studio Donegal and wish I had purchased more yarn than I did!! A visit to Canada would be a good choice for travel this year (just saying lol). 💕🇨🇦

@maryrippey6173 6 месяцев назад

Thank you for sharing all your knits. I am doing socks from stash and a shawl

@pastevens2577 6 месяцев назад

So good to see you again, Kate. I enjoyed the podcast and seeing all your socks. My plans for 2024 are a bit subdued as I get repetitive strain injuries in my right hand, wrist, elbow and shoulder, so can only knit or crochet for short periods of time. However, I'm about to start a new crochet blanket, which will take a few months, and the Felix sweater ((having seen yours the other day), and there is always a pair of socks on my needles, usually just vanilla socks, but maybe I will be a bit more adventurous this year having seen all your lovely socks.

@laurajennings1157 6 месяцев назад

So glad to see you back on the RU-vids. I really enjoyed your VlogMas this year, especially the Weavers’ Oracle which I ordered a deck for myself. My knitting plans for 2024 is to knit more garments, renew my passport, and begin saving for a trip to Ireland and Scotland in 2025. Happy knitting ❤ 🧶

@jennifersteeves910 6 месяцев назад

Hi Kate. So lovely to see you and have the pleasure of your podcasts. Thank you. My knitting plans are to do a pair of Kura socks by Miss Evil knits with Nutiden yarn, knit a Marie Wallin cardigan and knit the Billie cardigan by sari nordlund. Happy knitting. ❤

@brontehickman7777 6 месяцев назад

Hi Kate, It's so good to see you again. You have inspired me to make more socks! Your latest ones are beautiful. My knitting plans for the year include finishing a jumper and some socks for myself that I began last year. I rarely knit for myself, so very keen to do that. I have lots of shawl patterns on Ravelry; one of them will materialise I hope. I also plan to do more knitting for a children's charity I've been supporting. I also plan two go to my first every yarn festival; I'm so excited. I live in Australia and am booked to go to the River Yarn & Fibre Festival in Carcoar NSW! Thanks for your lovely podcast; you always brighten my week.

@michellehenderson2773 6 месяцев назад

Hi Kate lovely to see you, I love the Crazy sock lady patterns to,all your socks are lovely ❤

@debbiecarter759 6 месяцев назад

Hi Kate congratulations on your 7 yr podcast anniversary. My plans for 2024 knitting is very simple lots of socks. Last year I made sure to knit one pair a month so at the end of the year I had a box of socks for my oldest granddaughter. I think I will plan to do it again for my middle one. Also I have a few Christmas stocking orders to do. I thoroughly enjoyed watching your vlogmas and your podcasts, looking forward to many more.

@TerriKelly-rx3it 6 месяцев назад

Finish my second Coorie in Poncho that I just started. Keep adding squares to my Battenberg Blanket, knit socks. I am on my 224th pair. Start a Bits n Bobs blanket by Kay Jones with yarn out of a dk weight advent calendar that the colors are based on Norman Rockwell Christmas paintings!

@judycass9134 5 месяцев назад

I really enjoyed this podcast. I’m hoping to keep up with your lucky dip kal. So far, so good.

@annaseverinpersson751 6 месяцев назад

I don't really make knit-plans anymore because it stress me alot. But I have bought yarn to two sweaters and som sockgarn, so I'm hoping that some of those will be done + something else. Lovely that you're back!

@nancyhughes386 6 месяцев назад

So many lovely socks. I am trying to go to a knitting retreat in September.

@patriciahall8733 6 месяцев назад

Well as for plans for this year, I plan to knit at least 24 pair of socks for my family

@patchwork9712 6 месяцев назад

My knitting plans for this year are twofold. I want to knit a top down jumper or cardi for the first time and I want to use some of my extensive stash. Wish me luck in achieving these goals! 🧶

@dianelynnaxford6746 6 месяцев назад

Hi Kate - just home from a trip to Vancouver where I found a clever little yarn shop on Granville Island - The Fibre Art Studio. I am planning to attend Knit City in Toronto in May and want to explore drop spindle spinning this year, starting with a workshop there. Look forward to following your knitting adventures this year - wishing you all the best in 24.

@karenkaeding8575 6 месяцев назад

It's just wonderful to see you back again. I have plans this year to try and finish some WIPs and also have my eye on a hoodie, the Regolith by KIyomi Bergin.

@Jerseymimi16 6 месяцев назад

Your socks are so gorgeous !i have a squishy skein of sock yarn made with alpaca from my local yarn shop Alma Park 's own alpacas mixed with wool . My goal is to figure out how to knit a toe up double sole sock with this lovely yarn. They'll be so cozy. Good luck with your year of socks!

@paigemckelvey8781 6 месяцев назад

I almost passed you by. I though it said " the Crazy Lady Parade Podcast" and I had already seen her latest. I guess it is like in knitting when it says to "read the Pattern carefully" Nice to see your smiling face!

@aknitlife 6 месяцев назад

Hi Kate: Congratulations on your 7th year of podcasting! Continue success with your lovely podcast! I really enjoy your podcast whenever you upload episodes! My plans for 2024 is to be able to knit colorwork sweaters. During the pandemic I knitted the Golden Fern sweater by Jenn Steingass. However, I’ve bought a few more of her patterns and the charts are more complicated. I also want to be able to knit the Tegna sweater, which I was not successful in the past. Thank you for sharing! I love the Studio Donegal yarn you are knitting your sweater with. I saw it on your Instagram post and that inspired me to try the green color. Ordinarily, I would not think the color look good on me. Thanks for the knitting company! Happy knitting! ❤

@ollerupcrafts 6 месяцев назад

I also love green 😊 I am going to a yarnevent in Denmark called Fiberfolk. Small makers selling handdyed yarn an projectbags. ❤

@maplecottagecraftlisa2040 6 месяцев назад

Thank you for another lovely episode. My plans this year are to try and complete some of my many wips. I seem to have started quite a few crochet blankets and would love to finish them up so that we can use them xx

@user-ir6rb7pu9v 6 месяцев назад

Delighted to see you again after Vlogmas! I can’t resist buying beautiful hand dyed sock yarns but I have accumulated a boxful! You have inspired me to join you in knitting some Crazy Sock Lady patterns. X

@jantiley735 6 месяцев назад

Well done, Martyn, you're getting there. We need another 'improvers' session! I like your new spindle (but I think a bit of wood glue to reattach the whorl to the shaft of the one I lent you would have been a cheaper option 🤣🤣) After a month of spinning and improving, are you feeling brave enough to spin and draft as you go without the 'parking' bit??? One of the comments here suggested a wall hanging - I'm imagining a fade up from the dark grey at the bottom to the yellow at the top. It would be like a sunset above a stormy sea. A grellow wall hanging! What's not to love??☺️ Give me a shout anytime you want a bit of help. Keep up the fantastic work and well done for encouraging so many of your viewers to start spinning or get back to it. Glamorgan Guild is always there for help and support too 😊

@carolyncampbell6149 6 месяцев назад

Lovely to see you again Kate. My aim is to knit some dk socks this year for some boots that are just slightly too big. I also want to try Studio Donegal yarn as I spent some happy holidays there (near Ardara) and one side of my husband’s family came from Moville, as you said the scenery in Donegal is (without exaggeration) stunning. Happy knitting and thankyou for a lovely podcast. Xx

@jennydawson1281 6 месяцев назад

Knitting plans , more out than in finish more than I start ! Will always knit socks and I’m planning to go to Cumbria wool gathering ( very close to me ) and north east wool show I’ve been to both shows before and really enjoyed them .

@annotlewski1104 6 месяцев назад

I am trying to follow you knitting Crazy Sock Lady patterns but I am still on the Find the Joy socks! Congrats on 7th year anniversary!

@Quiltoholic 6 месяцев назад

So lovely to see you podcast😊 Love your sock parade. I just finished a pair of Crazy Sock lady Rhinebeck Roomies socks and really enjoyed the pattern. I have more of her sock patterns lined up for this year😊

@elizabethkirtz7967 6 месяцев назад

So glad to see your podcast. I do believe your sock mojo is back in full force! I enjoyed your vlogmas this year! I’m taking an exciting knitting tour to Shetland in May!

@FibreBound 6 месяцев назад

Hi Kate! I found you during Vlogmas and am still catching up to finish those episodes but couldn’t resist checking out your new episode today! I love your plans for 2024 and agree that Kay writes amazing and clear sock patterns! I also love your lucky dip kal and will be pulling some skeins out this weekend to participate this year. Otherwise, my main knitting plans are to use more yarn than I buy during 2024 and to enjoy what I’m knitting! I also took 2023 off of podcasting because of life and have noticed a shift back to obsessive knitting so far this year and feel so inspired to make all the things!

It is always lovely to watch your podcasts Kate!! Never, ever feel bad for putting your self-care above social media -we all luv you and wish you the best, always ❤. I am currently working on Irish Hiking Mitts by Karin Kaye. I am using Malabrigo Rios and am on my 2nd pair lol. There is enough left over from the skein that I am working up a simple headband to keep my ears warm using the same motif. Being in Central Illinois US, it gets quite cold here in the winter. Last week, we were at -15F (Which is -26C) I hope the coming year is good to you and yours. Bright Blessings Kate!

Hi Kate, I've only just found your podcasts. This No.53 was so enjoyable to me. I found Kay Litton a couple of years ago and I also find her sock patterns wonderful. I've purchased other sock patterns but I always come back to Kay's patterns. I felt quite at home looking at your socks. However I haven't tried Kay's socks with the pattern going up the front, but I'm really enthused by your socks, so I'm going to have a try. I can see why you love the Studio Donegal yarn. What a beautiful green. I'm living in Central Victoria in Australia and you would think with all of the sheep that we have here that we would have many Yarn Stores, but that's not the way it is. Here in Bendigo we have the Bendigo Woollen Mill, their wool is very simple. Nothing like the lovely dyed wool that I see on RU-vid prodcasts. I look forward to seeing your next podcast and some more socks. Thank you. Rhonda

Fun episode! I enjoyed your Vlogmas. My plans for the year include some weaving (I want to cover a lampshade with a family tartan), knitting a sweater for my daughter, and I just finished combing and blending some Corriedale and alpaca for a sock spin-along. Not enough time in each day! Have a great end of week.
