Knitting podcast ep. 12 // tiny mushrooms, festive socks & winter wishes sock swap 

loll yes girl drop all expectations and you'll save your sanity!! take care mama :)

I loved this episode! The mushrooms were so cute. You could make a garland with the gnome, mushrooms and if you knit mini sweater would be adorable!

Hang in there Mamma. This process is hard but you are a superhero now and you’ve got this!!

I’ve knit socks on DPNs, magic loop, and two on one long magic loop at a time. So I’m passing on advice I got from Ali (Little Drops of Wonderful), which has worked well for me. I knit both socks simultaneously, on either two pairs of DPNs or two magic loops. Cast on knit cuff, do the second sock, start the leg on first, work on second sock, etc., so that both socks are finished together and you have a finished pair. Enjoy every moment with your new baby boy …. They slip by so very fast. Thanks

I had the same mantra when I was waiting for my 3rd baby and I was determined that I didn't want to be induced. "If she wants to stay, that's fine. She obviously needs more time." You got this. Doing life slowly is great practice for after baby is born. :)

I haven’t ever commented but i felt like it was about time since i am finally up to date on your podcasts! I love watching your podcasts while knitting!! ❤❤ I only found you a month or two ago and have just been working my way through all your videos 😅 just wanted say you’re wonderful and i appreciate the “company” when knitting

You could also use a tiny Pom Pom from the crafts store for the nose…. Very cute knits…. Good luck with the baby coming… enjoy the time and just breathe…

Hi, I'm much older then you but I'm glad you will breast feed your little one. My daughter -in-law does also. My colors are also a lot of browns. Love the head bandana.

Lovely to see you. Wishing you and the baby all the best! ❤️

Ahh all that beautiful sock yarn 😍😍😍 I’m working on my ‘Gro Socks’ while watching! Itching to cast on a self striping sock though after seeing all your beauties

Serpent Heather from Knit Picks is also my favorite colorway too! Winter also has me itching to cast on a ton of socks too, cozy vibes only lol

the brown single skein would make a lovely Reyna shawl - excellent pattern for a newbie shawl knitter.

You are so adorable!!! And so are those mushrooms! I went right over to ravelry and downloaded the pattern. That DK yarn you got in your swap is GORGEOUS! I would use it to make a Sophie scarf. I always resist bandwagons, but that Sophie scarf bandwagon is one that I'm jumping on! I have a couple of small silk scarves that I wear tied around my neck, but no knitted ones. And I'm almost certain that that pattern calls for DK weight. Anyway, great episode as usual!

I loved the bandana!! I found the pattern on Hobbii but the instructions were so confusing... Can someone help with how to pick up the 5 sts from the left and 5 from the cast on? I couldn't figure it out...
