Also go up a size to 2:75mm if you think color work is tight, insurance you need the socks will fit and no one will know.
Just checked out Hobbii website. Thank you SO much for the recommendation! I found some lovely Christmas sock yarn for my hubby. Psalm 91….Beverly
Your Ranunculus...especially the white one....are the most beautiful I have seen on the internet so far.
I got the pattern.....oh my....it looks so complicated.
But I am gonna try.
Wish you did a KAL on this one!
Congratulations with the beautiful ones you already made....much respect !
I tend to 'manage'my stash with each new cast on. I tend to have trouble sticking with a plan in matching yarn and patterns, so I just go with what strikes my fancy at the time. I try not to buy any more yarn until I seriously reduce stash. Tazhi of Starlight and Stitches is trying to destash 10,000 yds of yarn rather than skeins. I have been tracking my yardage as a way of really seeing how much yarn I use.
My last yard sale sounds like your experience. We sold a few things on Offer Up and even then donated a lot of good stuff that didn't sell.
Such fun early this morning ,,Linda,,,,
Thanks so much,,,
I am sock knitting ,,,,alot too,,,,!!!
Love UR Sweaters,,,,
Take care,
Elaine😍😍🏠🏠
Thank you! Elaine-You too!🤗
I knit all my socks with colorwork inside out. It gives you the ease that you need.
The last Way you Said Line was correct :) @36.40 36:40
The knitting trip with your friends in Seattle sounds so fun. I live about 80 miles south of Seattle. I love both of your ranunculus! I want to knit one and just need to do the measuring, etc.
Love your ranunculus! It’s such a great pattern. I made 5 of them last year but still want to make a long sleeve one . All my summer ones have stretched sadly. They are mostly cotton and cotton and bamboo or linen / cotton blend.
Also I left you a message on Instagram. ❤
Love the white linen ranunculus! I hadn't planned on making one, but now?!?
Thank you for giving me time to have FUN AND KNIT with YOU. Are you participating in the Secret Sock Along of Steven West? It is so much fun and teaching me a lot new tricks and stitches, he also has tutorials together with the new clue. It's just 4 weeks in Juli, 6 clue 1, 13 clue 2, 20 clue 3, 27 clue 4 and then ???????????? the final result will be beautifull original Steven West socks. You can do them in your own time, no stress just summer fun knitting. Knitting the colourwork socks inside out is so easy to do, I do all my socks that way, it gives me the possitive ease that's needed with my difficult sized feet.
Hi Pia- not this time… 7 sock WIPS… yikes! Can’t wait to see how they turn out though… love SW❤️❤️❤️ Happy Knitting.
Just starting my first Ranunculus! Lovely work. 😍Have just found your channel & great episode! Thank you. Sheena Berkshire, UK
You are so welcome!
Wool and Pine’s Sea Glass pullover may be a way to use up scraps of yarn. Pattern says ‘DK Scraps, mix, match and embrace the random! Provided you meet gauge, you can use a mix of fibers and weights, such as fingering held double’. Have the pattern but haven’t knit it yet! Thanks for another great podcast!
Great suggestion Karen- thank you🙏
I am making shopping bags with my mini madness..espace tricot has a free shopping bag pattern that I am using
I love your blue Ranunculus! The yarn you used sounds lovely. I still need to knit one! I’m finishing my Felix Pullover and maybe will move onto the Ranunculus. I love all my minis too…maybe you don’t need a destash but another shelf instead 😉
I can’t wait to hear about your knitting trip / boat excursion. What fun!
Kindred spirits Amanda… another shelf!… that’s the ticket!!! Mini Madness and Mayhem here I come❤️
Hi Linda, youre always such delight to catch up with, I love your optimism. I love both of your Ranuculi, they are beautiful. Im curious to see how you manage your stash, I love seeing things get organised, colour coordinated and tidied up, theres nothing like a good tidy up to make things look all fresh and orderly. Your garage sale happy ending was nice to hear too, its a shame it didnt sell but hopefully your goodies will be appreciated by those in need... and now your basement is clutter free, lovely. Looking forward to your next vid.
Cheers,
MrsP
Thank you Mrs P… stay tuned for Mini Madness and Mayhem🤗
Great episode Linda!! Love the two seasons of Ranunculus! I have plans for a winter one too! Enjoy your golf games!!! ⛳️
Thank you! You too!
Love you and your projects! Do you use Ravelry? I wish I could see project notes from you so I could have the details of the yarns you use, I sometimes can't catch what you mention on the podcast. Maybe you could add those details to your show notes? It would be so helpful. Thanks.
Great points Vicki… I will add to show notes in a few days. Thank you for the nudge🤗Linda
Absolutely love your summer Ranunculus. Your winter one is gorgeous as well but the white is stunning. After doing a year of socks last year I haven't felt the draw to cast on just yet but seeing the color work ones, which I haven't done yet, are a bit of an enticement. Hope you and your knitting friends have a wonderful time in Seattle. Take care.
Thanks Sharon. Hopefully your sock mojo returns but only if you are missing knitting socks- lol. Happy Knitting🥰🤗
New subscribers, just found you and instantly feel in love with you. Your sweater is just gorgeous!
Thank you!
Another fun episode. The white linen Ranunculus is a honey!
As usual, another wonderful episode.
Love your linen Ranunculus, it looks spectacular on you! You mentioned you cast on 65 stitches in your gray cotton Ranunculus, did you subsequently have to decrease the extra 5 stitches? I’ve knitted two Ranunculus and the neckline is too high up. So I would like to try to add 5 stitches to my next Ranunculus.
Thanks for uploading so timely to start my Monday morning and clarifying whether you subsequently have to decrease 5 additional stitches! ❤❤
Oh thank you! No I did not decrease… when I got to the first set of increases I did 5 less… so the stitch count remained to pattern- hope that makes sense. Happy Knitting🤗
@@forthefunofknit5322 Thanks for the heads up, Linda! Yes, it makes sense! ☺️
That was fun catching up again with you, Linda.😃 Love your two Ranunculus sweaters, I have knitted one last Winter and wore it a lot; it is such a nice pattern.
Hahaha always have to laugh when I see my projectbag, whole year long.😂🤣
Thank you Ingrid… happy to share your work… it is truly a special bag to me❤️
@@forthefunofknit5322 that is so very nice to hear💕
I was just watching your third version of last video because i thought there's another week before you podcast again.. but there wasn't 😊
I'm knitting an orange cotton summer shirt to my daughter and socks for me out of new to me yarn, color is watermelon stripes.
It has been just perfect, about 20-22C° for a few days here in southwest Finland 🤗
Sorry about the timing.. I don’t have a super regimented timeline for podcasting so it does vary a bit🤗
No no, I'm just happy to hear your adventures.. whenever 😊
Hi first time viewer and i truly enjoyed your podcast. I am a crocheter and knitter (i am a stronger crocheter then knitter but enjoy doing both) wile watching your podcast I was knitting on my project "the Pressed Flowers cowl by Amy Christoffers". Which i came across the pattern from watching another podcaster knitting up the shawl version and just got so inspired and looked up the pattern and casted on immediately! I have actually never ventured into sock knitting but have been thinking about it a lot, but looking at all your beautiful sock wips who knows i may cast on a pair sooner then later. Your icord blanket ... WOW!!! ... i had never seen anything like that.... how amazing is that!!! i loved it and look forward to seeing your progress on that. as for your colorwork socks that fit now but you worry might not fit where you may need more room would going up a needle size help with that and when you get past that spot maybe go back down? i don't know anything about socks so this advice might not be worth wile but was the thought i had as you were sharing your concerns
Thank you for watching! And your advice was spot on👍 Love the pressed flower series. Do you have a favourite crochet blanket pattern?🤗
@@forthefunofknit5322 oh yes my go to baby shower blankets are Cloud-Soft Shells by Carole Prior this pattern just looks so heirloom and vintage to me when done in a solid color and it's basically a one row repeat which is even better! Oh and i am so glad my advice helped i was nervous even saying anything since i never actually knitted socks before
Lovely as always, thanks for sharing 💕
I do colorwork inside out (knitting on the inside)so the floats stretch around the outside of the object. I’m still knitting, not purling the colorwork, I’m just knitting around the inside. It definitely helps keep the tension looser so the stitches don’t pucker and pull
That's a great idea!I will have to watch a few videos to see how that is done👍. Thank you for watching🤗Linda🇨🇦
Thank you for keeping me company while I sat and knit on my Kentia tee. I always LOVE your energy, your projects and easy-breezy way of seeing things Linda! You and your husband are such a great team! He picks your monthly sock colours, you clean out the basement and drive to Seattle to pick him up. MARRIAGE GOALS! Btw, your upcoming knitting getaway with friends sounds like so much fun. Have a wonderful time!
Just found your podcast! Love it!
Great knits. Love the idea of the icord blanket. Thanks for sharing.
You are so welcome!
You are so nice! I love your podcasts and I find your knitting gorgeous! 😊 Watching you from Argentina
Thank you so much! Dream of visiting South America again! Lived in Chile for 3 yrs as a kid. Loved all of it. Thank you for watching❤️
@@forthefunofknit5322 😀♥️
I greatly enjoyed your latest podcast with all your knitting! I am also going to Flock Fiber Festival, so perhaps I will see you there!!
Would love to meet you ! We will be there both days… I will be wearing my white Renunculus one day for sure🤗
@@forthefunofknit5322 I will be there Saturday, but I'm unsure what I will be wearing--a knitted tee for sure. Hope to see you!
Love the Black Tie Unicorn yarn. How appropriate to have Black Tie for June, the month of weddings!
Love your podcasts and style! Your I-cord blanket might make a great picnic blanket.
Great idea!!
I love all your projects you are working on. You have a lot to work on so good luck!
Thank you so much!
Your sweaters are beautiful
Hi Linda 👋
Enjoy your podcasts. I like your 4th ranunculus! I have made 2 (both are short sleeves) and thinking of making a long sleeve one next. They are beautiful and fun to make. I do enjoy colorwork a lot, your socks have inspired me to cast a pair on. I only do 2 at a time though knowing myself I'd never finish the 2nd one!
I laughed at your garage sale...I've only
Had 1 in my lifetime (Im 62) because after all the hours of prep work and 6 hours of waiting for peeps to show up...I made $3.00 😂. Never Again...glad you had options to rid yourself of the extras and feels so good to gift others! Good Job 😊
Hi Linda! Wow has your channel grown! I’m excited to watch you finish all those socks! Happy summer 🧶💕
Thank you Lorien-You too! Fingers crossed they all fit😂🤗
Thanks Linda, I always enjoy your podcasts. I love the socks, especially the stained glass one, I love your ranunculus, especially the white linen one. The drape is fabulous on you. I look forward to the next podcast.
I'm amazed at all your beautiful sock wips, very impressive! I'm doing Stephen West's mystery sock along, 1 clue so far. I figure I can handle a sock better than a shawl.
Hoping to join in the next time he hosts one… too many socks on the go at the moment-lol🤗Enjoy!
Will you be going to RhinebecK this year? Seattle trip sounds fun. Kim Happy Summer.
Good Morning Kim… wish I was going but not this year…heading back to Spain Oct 6th… looking forward to hearing all about it though when I watch your recap episode! Squish a few skeins for me!❤️❤️
Knitty Natty turned me on to the Quadraphinia blanket using 20 g minis! I've destashed quite a lot making this. It's fairly small, so I'm just adding more and more in front of the TV...mindless fun using all the colors!
Thank you Kathy!… I had forgotten about that pattern. Will take a look… happy knitting🤗.Linda
Hi Linda, so much fun watching your podcast while I was crocheting on my newest project and getting rid of all my leftover sock yarn. It will be a granny square blanket and I crochet blocks of 25 rows and then will assemble them. It will going to be a fun all over colour blanket, loving it so far! I got the idea from the podcast 'it's a Sarah' and she put the blanket also on Ravelry. So maybe this is also an idea for all your mini's.
Hi Emmy… love her podcast! Have not seen that episode yet but will watch . Great idea!🤗
Hi Linda, If you should need some inspiration for “minis”, Ali with Little Drops of Wonderful has a great inspirational video about 7 months ago, right at the first of the year with great ideas. Your makes are all so beautiful. Thank you for your podcast. All the best! Sheila
Thank you Sheila!… I will check out that video🤗
Oh my word! Your Stained Glass socks are gorgeous!🤩 How about "Manage the Mini Madness" for your project name.
Great idea Shelley- thank you🤗
I would probably do a pattern on the foot of a colour work sock rather than a carry. Seems easier to me. I always used 72 stitches in my colour work sock designs (Red Bird Knits on Rav) too in order to compensate for the less stretchy fabric.
Just found your yarntubes. I'm In Ontario and a crazy knitter, quilter and cross stitcher.
Hi Robyn- thank you for watching!… crazy loves company so count me in- lol. Will check out your patterns- always nice to find a new designer!!!🤗
Thankyou for a great podcast Linda, love your Ranunculus, beautiful colour. You’re going to be busy with all your sock knitting 🧶
Oh yes! Happy Knitting🤗
Hi Linda!
Just a thought, but how about just going up a half or a whole needle size for your Lost in Sherwood socks if they are tight and/or especially as you head up to your arch. Another thought, superwash will stretch out a little too, but you probably remembered that already. I love the colors you chose!! ;)
Thank you Tamara! What a great idea- I will try that. Have a great day and thank you for watching🤗🇨🇦 Linda
Loving all your knits, especially the I-cord blanket, will be gorgeous and colorful. What a fun way to use up your yarn. :)
It really is! Thank you Sue🤗❤️
Hi Linda! Do you have an email for brand partnerships? I'd love to chat about partnering on some crafty content, thanks! 😊
Hi Olivia… forthefunofknitvlog@gmail.com🤗
Love your sweaters! Great vlog!
Thank you!! 😊
Lovely
I did a pair of all over colorwork socks and the pattern called for size 2 needles foe the colorwork and size 0 for the cuff, heels and toes. It worked fine for me. Good luck! I know it must be frustrating! Cindy
Hi Cindy… time will tell! Fingers crossed. Happy knitting🤗
I knit colorwork hats and cowls, but not so many colorwork socks. Yours look beautiful. I agree with you about the tank's color not being your most flattering color-but flattering doesn't matter! What's important is that you love the color. It is a beautiful color. I like the idea of a beach cover up, but it would look lovely over anything. You can put a vibrant color tank under it, and that could be an interesting contrast.
Thank you Sheryl and good fashion advice🥰👍
Linda, you could try increasing the size of the needle you’re using for the colourwork socks. I’ve done that. Started on a smaller needle and thought it might be too tight as I went along so I just moved up to a bigger needle to give me a bit more room. Just remember to do the same for sock two. LOL😊
Great idea! And so true about recording what I do on sock #1! Happy Knitting Vicki🤗 .Linda
🌻🤗❤
Good to catch up with you, Linda! Enjoy the summery weather.
Thank you! You too Carol!… love all your socks…..so inspiring🥰
Very inspirational 😊
Thank you! 🙂
I haven’t knit very many pairs of socks and I want to make some scrappy blankets so I have started buying minis.
Thank you for watching and oh what a rabbit hole you will dove into👏👏👏 it is amazing🤗
How many stitches did you cast on for your white short sleeved ranunculus? You said 60 stitches for the long sleeved warmer ranunculus was what you cast on for that sweater, but the white sweater seemed to have a larger neck and more of a scoop neck.
Hi Susan- 80🤗
Thank you for the great company while I was knitting socks!! And I am going to Spain at the end of August for one month to meet my granddaughter that will arrive mid-August. I would love to buy yarn. What company, brand or shop that you suggest … I am going to Catalunya. Elise from Quebec
Hi Elise.. if you mean Barcelona you must go to “all you knit is love”! Great store… if you are heading to a smaller township/Pueblo) any of the haberdasheries will carry Katia yarns… great selection of fibre based❤️
@@forthefunofknit5322 My daughter lives in Vic, one hour north of Barcelona. There is a Katia store there. I will definitively go to All you knit is love. Thank you!!!
Thank you for an inspiring episode, you could use your minies for colour work in sweaters, ex. The Tora tee or Jericos rose, its a good way to let your beautiful minies shine
Hi Christina- love both those options! Thank you❤️
Love all your socks! Your colours inspire me and your design choices are divine! I got 12 rows of my Proud Top yoke done while listening to you (I'm at the largest circumference point so each row is a beast) so thank you for keeping me company, Linda!
My pleasure Jacquie🤗
Minis Galore in '24? Lol, I thought I was a bit crazy with three socks on the go for July, but 7! Wow. I'm doing the July socks Sari Nordlund is having for her KAL, the West Knits KAL and Knitty Knatty's sock week challenge. 😁
Hi Heather…. I have written these down and diarized for next year!! Three times the fun!!❤️🤗Linda
That should have read “diarized”- lol… edited to fix👍
@@forthefunofknit5322 lol. I was sitting here, going, mmm, I don't think she actually meant disrobed. 😂
Wow, you are on a roll...love it. Would you please show us how to use your little icord gadget...with tips!!
Thank you for watching Lucile… I will try🤗
Loved the podcast! I like your Ranunculus sweaters, too. I’ve not knit it because everyone has, but yours fit nicely and are classy. And there are no bobbles! Why do I dislike them?
Honestly I have never knit a bobble- lol… there definitely seems to be 2 camps… the “I love bobbles” and The “I hate bobbles” camp… not sure why but one day I will find out what side I am on🤗. Happy Knitting
@@forthefunofknit5322 I think they look unattractively like warts or nipples. I guess it’s my problem!
Love your both of your Ranunculus sweaters. I have the patterns but have not made one yet you have inspired me to get started. I'm knitting the Dingley Dell right now. Love your socks the colors are gorgeous .
Hi Lisa.. the Dingley Dell is on my list too👍. The Ranunculus is a quick knit regardless of the yarn weight you choose so enjoy!🤗Linda
Your long sleeve Ranunculus is gorgeous! The deeper yoke looks fabulous and it’s nice to have a different look …. Love it!
Thank you so much!
I too have converted to doing colourwork socks inside out. It has made huge difference. Good luck with all of your socks Linda. Another great episode.
Thank you Sharon🤗
I''m new to your podcast. Who in the heck is Patrick? Your cat?
Lol- Hubby❤️
Love your podcast. Nice to catch up with Linda
Great episode. I just finished my first ranunculus. I loved your versions. I have a winter one planned.
Wonderful!
Getting the notification fro your new episode was the best way to start a Monday! Beautiful socks and ranunculus- look forward to hearing about the Seattle trip!
Thank you Beverly- glad you enjoyed🤗
Happy to be able to watch knit and enjoy my morning coffee. Happy knitting Linda
Good morning! Thank you for watching and the “sharing” in my stories. Have a great day.🤗🇨🇦 Linda
I LOVE your stained glass socks !!!
Thank you!… me too-lol🤗
Thanks, Linda. Have a great time in Seattle! Enjoy your summer.
Thank you! You too!
Linda, your new Ranunculus is stunning. I am in awe of the beautiful fit as well. Makes me want to knit a third, fourth and fifth!
Thank you so much!… and Me too! I can easily knit another. Happy knitting❤️
I'm going to have to give in and get the ranunculus pattern! It's so versatile! I'm knitting socks for my husband with reinforced toe and heel using upholstery thread knitted in.
Hi Christen… that is a new technique to me!… is the comfort food with thread in the toe?.. think this would be a great hack for “hard wearers” of socks!
@@forthefunofknit5322 You don't even feel the thread in the toe and heel. I have several colours of upholstery and buttonhole threads that I use. You don't really notice the thread too much. I also knit about 1.5 inches past the toe with the thread included in the main yarn as well.
Hi Linda! Never too many pinks, or too many minis 😉 MiniMerriment 😍
So true! ❤️
Love your Ranunculus sweaters! Did you omit the front short rows? I’m trying this out on my WIP.
Yes I did!… seemed too complicated🤗
Oh… and by the way… don’t forget to send my your Ravelry deets and Pattern choice… you were one of the winners!!!
Oh wow! I’m just catching up with the rest of this video, as I had to get back to work. Thank you so much! 😊
Great episode thank you, kept me busy crocheting before I get up for the day, my treat on days off!
Wonderful!
Both of your Ranunculus look beautiful on you ❤ your socks are amazing
Thank you so much
Thanks for the great podcast ❤ beautiful ranunculuses!
Thanks for watching!
LEENA...how it is said
Thank you!!!❤️
I am knitting on my Stephen West Sockalong socks while watching this episode....lol, I was sure these socks would be one of your WIPs ❤
Good Morning Sandra… I so wanted to join But … seriously…7 sock WIPS… I scared myself-lol. Can wait to see the finished pattern- Happy Knitting❤️🤗Linda
It is always so freeing & satisfying when you are able to move some "stuff" out of your life! I am also in a declutter stage. I loved your Ranunculus sweaters...I am probably the only soul left who hasn't made one, but it's coming soon! Happy Summer!
You are not alone! My sister has not knit one yet either -lol. Mini Madness and Mayhem… here I come🤗 thank you for watching and Happy Knitting❤️
