    Hi Kay. Wyatt's sweater looks great. So glad you finished it though I know you hadn't really wanted to as it wasn't your love. It didn't bring you joy. I love the socks you finished and the new ones you have started. Those new yarns are just gorgeous. Hope you have a great weekend.

    My “cheat” for the Musselburgh CO is to CO 4 sts and then kfb in each on the next round to get 8 and it looks great! Pull the tail and it makes a little X at the crown.

      Another great caston method for the Musselburgh is by Mostly Knitting on her UA-cam channel. I tried so many of the others and found hers to be the easiest and best!

    I LOVE how you are ok with not having yarn labels and also you have several sock projects cast on! You made my day with that one and I immediately cast on a second and third pair. I am now doing just vanilla socks and having fun doing different colors for heels and toes.
    LOVE your podcasts, seeing your socks, bags and tips!

    @beanaasz4069 Місяць тому

    Yay! Wyatt's sweater is done. I tend to stall in the middle, at the place where there is just boring stockinette that goes on forever or never-ending repeats. When I see the end I get reinvigorated and am eager to finish.

    • @CrazySockLady
      @CrazySockLady  Місяць тому

      I love doing stockinette socks. I was thinking more of sweaters and tees. I’ve been making top down tees this summer and after I divide for the sleeves it is a lot of stockinette down the body.

    Whew! That was close! I was just catching up on last week’s podcast, and I thought I was going to have to volunteer to finish Wyatt’s sweater. I’m so glad you pushed through and finished it. It looks amazing! And I’m glad he likes it too-such a labor of love should be worn.

  • @carolg5770
    @carolg5770 Місяць тому +3

    I'm so glad you finished Wyatt's sweater! When you talked about giving it up last week, all I could think was OH NO not all those pretty cables? It's stunning. I know what you meant when you said why you were ready to walk away from it. That happens to me when I get close to the end of projects...I just want them done but don't want to finish them. That last quarter before casting off seems to take me the longest....and I have no idea why?! All of your socks are glorious as usual and the Musselburgh hats are too. Oh my gosh, that baby one! Can't wait to hear how that modified cast on works out. It would have a lot of fiddling. I haven't knit one yet BUT do have plans to. Wish I had a baby to knit for-I can't get that little pink beauty out of my brain! Oh and a belated happy birthday to you-that yarn you showed is glorious...can't wait to see it all knit up!

  • @ginnerlucreates1884
    @ginnerlucreates1884 Місяць тому

    Ah you finished Wyatt’s sweater. I’d definitely love to see a picture of him wearing it but if he’s not comfortable that’s his decision, and I respect that. Cristie’s yarns are some of the best that I ever knit with. I just got her September 2024 color of the month (and a few others) and they’re just gorgeous. Happy making!

    I'm so glad you decided not to give up on Wyatt's sweater. It is perfection and I'm glad he likes it too. I get that way too. Sometimes I just feel so done with a project but I push through and then am so happy I didn't abandon it.

  • @brenna1066
    @brenna1066 Місяць тому

    I’m so glad you made the final push on the sweater, your son is going to be able to remember all your efforts when he wears it and you’ll have the joy of fulfilling his wish. I have several projects that need 1/2 a sleeve or a button band or other small finishing details so I TOTALLY understand needing to rant and put something in time-out until I can calm down 😅

    The sweater turned out beautifully! So glad you did finish it and Wyatt will get to enjoy it on your cooler fall days and winter. Maybe he would let you show a picture of how the sweater looks on him if you cut it off so his head (face) doesn’t show so we could enjoy your handy work!!
    Such beautiful yarn makes beautiful socks :).

  • @janmiranda01
    @janmiranda01 Місяць тому

    after years of being a knitting perfectionist I finally broke through to being a satisfied knitter. Stops and starts but never being happy with the sock resulting I found your Austin sock pattern on Ravelry and began to work through it learning good techniques that made good socks. I would go along and get discouraged and set them down but after winning a blue, Grand Champion and Judges Choice on my last socks in the fair I sat down and knitted a pair in less than a month! For me that is a record. Thanks Kayla I hope I have broken through at last.

    Wyatt's sweater turned out so good. I knew you would finish. As moms we do things for our babies we wouldn't do for ourselves. Lol Totally respect the photo issue. I always ask my sons first as well.

  • @lindseylemon9067
    @lindseylemon9067 Місяць тому

    If I know how many stitches I am going to have in my musselburgh, I have cheated and done a provisional cast on, done the whole hat to a decrease, then when I go to pick up stitches, I am just working a second decrease. Also works really well to do a 2 sided or reversible one!

  • @carlakempert1798
    @carlakempert1798 Місяць тому

    What you said about not wanting to finish your son's sweater crossed my mind as I looked at the pile of crocheted squares on my lap (for a Jethro cardigan). At the moment I wanted to throw them all across the room; I was tired of looking at them, tired of sewing them all together, and tired of the whole stupid project. I pushed on. Then I sewed the panels together and found I had about 300 loose ends to weave in. (Only a slight exaggeration. I didn't weave in ends on any of the 65 the squares OR when I sewed them together.) Now I really wanted to trash it and forget I ever knew how to crochet, but I pushed on. Color me surprised when I realized I had only laid out the squares on Tuesday afternoon, and by Thursday evening they were all sewn together AND the ends were woven in. Now I only need to add the edging and the sleeves; probably a week's worth of work if I focus. (Which I rarely do. Squirrel!) Plus it's the perfect length and so darn cute! 😄

    I just told my daughter yesterday that I think I like Fall the best. Now that you mention it, I think I like it, and maybe others as well, is because of the general association with Fall. It is the time of year that most people get together with family - Thanksgiving/Christmas - whereas they maybe don't see each other as much during the year. Those gatherings bring all "back together" to remind us of what is truly important. It is usually a very happy time. I pray for those that the holidays are dreaded. That is sad. However, wishing a Happy Fall to all! Now, I gotta go work on my socks.

    Last week I was admiring your conviction to enjoying your knitting and deciding to possibly abandon the sweater….and now…I’m just in awe. It’s beautiful. And please do tell regarding the top of the musselburgh. I bet you are correct and it doesn’t matter…I will be trying it when I finish my current one on the needles!!

    Rhinebeck Roomies has become one of my go-to patterns for socks, and I recently used the pattern on a pair of fingerless mitts for my nephew. I used the pattern on a pair of socks for his boyfriend so they will sort of match.

    I'm right there with you in cabled sweater land. I have finished the body and sleeves of my arctic light sweater and all I have left is the ribbing on the bottom of the body...and I can't find the motivation to get it done 😢 and I know it will lift all the weight off my shoulders when I get it done 😅 maybe after i finish kitchenering...is that a word 😂...the toe on this sock in my hands I'll work on it...maybe 😂😂😂
