    So glad your son is getting better - it can be so scary having a child in the hospital. And I love the "mirror image" mitts. What a brilliant idea.

    I'm so sorry about your son. Glad he's better. That's very scary. What a beautiful blanket for him. He'll treasure it forever. Your knits are beautiful. I need to try a sock blank sock. How pretty! I think I may be the only knitter who hasn't knit a ranunculus sweater. Maybe one day. Take care.

    Oh, Ina, I am so happy to year that your sweet son is on the mend. We all shared your anguish. Those mittens are gorgeous in that colorway. Ina, your blanket is a treasure. It looks very similar to one I made a year ago after watching your tutorial. I used the charcoal black border and used up so many scraps of mostly Holst Supersoft. It sits on our bed in the wintertime and my husband adores it. I started another one but it has been sidetracked as I binge on sweaters.

    • @InaKnits

    Hi, Ina. I’m so glad that your son is on the mend. The Ranunculus is beautiful… it looks good on you. I love the mittens! I like the socks too. I’m knitting Christmas socks too. Your mitred square blanket is gorgeous! I’ll check out the tutorial. The Farnham Sweater is looking lovely. The Happy socks are happily colourful. You have been a very busy knitter. I love the socks that you’re knitting from the sock blanket. I love the red striped socks. Take care, Ina❤️

    What a difficult time it's been for you. Watching your child struggle through illness is emotionally and physically stressful. So glad he's doing well. ..at least well enough to plan for his future😊 Kids!! The bind off on your sweater looks so nice. I'm always amazed to see sock blanks become something so different as they're used. I wonder if the designer has any idea what their "art work" will look like when the blank is used. Thank you for this doing this podcast whemm you had so much going on.

    • @InaKnits
      @InaKnits  Рік тому

One of the Buddhists I used to follow made the comment, no mud, no lotus. It rang true to me. I still enjoyed your episode as always. That sock blank was so beautiful that I an see why you hesitated to use it for so long. But the socks are lovely. My best wishes for calm in your household, Eileen ❤️

    Dear Ina, lovely to see you back! Many moons ago I managed to happily (!?!?) accept pneumonia from a classmate of mine. I was in hospital for a week and then resting at home for another... so was she... Wonderful to hear your son is on the mend. Oh and can't wait to see your finished candy-cane-like Christmas socks, they'll be fab!

Always enjoy your company and seeing all your knits. I live quite near New Lanark Mill. Love their wool, so hard wearing, but not as cheap as it used to be. Love how you managed the colourwork on the mittens. They turned out great! I tend to knit socks too when I’m stressed. ❤🧦

    Hi Ina! totally enjoyed your episode and I hope your son is fully recovered. Really love the idea of a scrappy blanket that you've knitted for your son with the black border. I am thinking to use that idea, but I wonder how much black yarn you have used per each square or in total. thank you, Marina

    • @InaKnits
      @InaKnits  Рік тому

      I havent measured exactly, but I think one 50g ball of the boarder yarn will be enough for at least 15-20 squares. I am planning to knit another sqare and post a new tutorial documenting the start and finish of the blanket, will make sure to measure the amount needed there😊
