Hi y'all, thanks for joining! I decided to sit down for a super casual knit and chat :) I talk about everything from my new cast on (spoiler - it's socks), my 2024 knitting intentions, organizing my yarn, notions, and house, and of course - BOOKS I'm reading.
Work in progress: All the Frills Socks by Summer Lee | Found in the Shorty Sock Set pattern bundle below

My cure for second sock syndrome is to always cast on the second sock right after you’ve cast off the first. Even if that’s all you do, just cast it on. That way, it’s easier to pick up later.

This works for me too! Same thing with the second mitten and the second sleeve

Hi Carson! I'm always glad to see your content. The first year of motherhood is challenging and I hope you have people for support. Enjoy motherhood we need more people like you. Ha Oh knitting and reading!

Really enjoyed catching up with you, I’m in a similar space with a baby and busy mind and difficulty prioritising and reducing anxiety!! Working on my goals for the year ❤

Lovely to knit and chat with you😊 One of my intentions this year is to not stress with my knitting. It's not like I need more sweaters in my wardrobe😅 So I want to just enjoy knitting and take my time. Right now I am knitting on the Dartmoor sweater by Caidree in lots of mohair scraps. It's a colorparty🎉😂

I either do socks two at a time, or in tandem (cuff 1, cuff 2, leg 1, leg 2, heel 1, heel 2, etc). I never cast off my first sock and then start my 2nd. I think I would run out of motivation! When I do two at a time, I separate them for the heels. So, I'll work on the first heel, and then the 2nd, then rejoin for the rest of the sock. If I'm doing heel/flap/gusset, I'll keep them separated until I'm doing with the gusset.

I love hearing from a new mama & knitter my age! Thanks for sharing!! I’m currently working on finishing a Darling Cardigan by Veronika Lindberg! Can’t wait to wear it 😊

Hi Carson. I'm currently knitting the Felix cardigan for my Mom. I never had second sock syndrome. My favourite socks I knit were Beachgrass by Joji and Curio socks by Andrea Mowry. My intentions in knitting is finishing my WIPs and a no buy until September. I want to be more minimalistic. I also want to spin more with my drop spindles. I also am very hard on myself as I am a slow knitter and do not finish things quickly... I play fiddle and read too.

A lot of people knit for anxiety relief but it’s not usually mindlessly soothing for me either. It could be that I tend to knit things that are challenging to me

Start the second sock when you’re half way done with the first sock. Also I’ve been working on beanies. 🤣 they’re addicting and a fast serotonin boost lol

@hyggekrogknits 6 месяцев назад

Definitely do 2 at a time if it’s a simple sock. It takes longer, but I like that both socks end up exactly the same. Watch the tutorial to cast on, and then come back to it before you do the heel cause the set up for a heel flap and gusset is NOT intuitive. I haven’t tried any other heel construction so maybe there is an easier way 😂

Your socks are lovely. I would be so happy if my daughters knit me some socks. Bet your Mom will love them. I’m working on test knit socks for Lauryl @westmaven. Cozy Slouchy Socks. They are gorgeous x

I just made a DK weight hat called Bristlecone by Amber Platzer Corcoran. It’s a free pattern and I loved it!

love the knit and chats! I'm working on two baby girls sweater knits and finishing up a pair of Christmas socks. Next up a hat cast on from Summer Lee (i forgot the name of the pattern) and looking for a pattern for a sweater for me. I really want to knit that cute little frog pattern and make some tiny clothes for it...Spring will be here and i think i need a frog ,,, and then a bunny
