    Knit Picks sells "bare" yarn in single skeins and 10 packs. I think their big daily sales is coming up soon. I am NOT sponsored, just looking forward to their annual daily sales. 😉

    I’m so excited to see what advents you ordered this year. I love the excitement, watching you open them every day. My favorite yarns have been from Polka Dot Creek. I think because they go to so many different Canadian dyers. So many beautiful colors and so much variety. Thanks for sharing, Kay.

    Good job finishing so many socks! I had high intentions for the MAL but then gift knitting took over and I didn‘t finish any socks for myself in the last two months.So this week I‘m prioritizing finishing my pair of autumnal socks. 🍂(Obviously I chose gift knitting and it‘s bringing me joy too 😊).

    I just finished working 6 days in a row and today is my 1 day off this week. I decided to continue working on my Halloween knitting until I have more than 1 day off in a row and then I'll start up on Christmas knitting. I can finish Halloween in January so it's ready to wear for next year. I'm feeling very focused to knit what comforts my soul over what I think needs to be finished. I'm also feeling the pull to be done with some of these projects.

    I totally relate to how you feel about your cardigan. I cast on a cardigan either last fall or 2021. I do not like working with the yarn. It’s 3/4 done but it brings me no joy. Right now I am making myself do two rows a day. That’s not how I want my knitting to be.

    I am glad(?) to hear that an experienced knitter like you has issues understanding the Seasons sweater pattern also. I am finally almost done with the body and was hoping that the sleeves would be easy. It’s also a pain to move the project while knitting as it is heavy and you have to keep rearranging the stitches and the short needles. I’ve been tempted to buy the Old Navy ready made same design for $39.99!

    When I first started knitting socks after "finding you", I would put my yarn in cloth grocery bags. Yuck. Not anymore! Project bags are way cute and so much fun and my whips deserve a happy place to live in. I must admit that many of my project bags have cute sheep on them.

    I cannot wait to see what the Christmas Vacation advent looks like. I'm starting to save now so I can buy one in 2024. Just had too many expenses this year. And I haven't done any holiday shopping either, but I have some ideas.
    I saw a puzzle advent and my grands love to do puzzles, and I saw a puzzle advent, so I may go to Dollar Tree and create a puzzle advent for the family to work on. I did the math and it would be 40 pieces a day for a 1000 piece puzzle or 20 for a 500 piece puzzle. I've been told by my middle grandson numerous times that I didn't make them an Advent calendar last year. I was ill, so that didn't happen. He must have really enjoyed it, since he's only 8 and mentioned a calendar from when he was 6.
    Loved Fall of the House of Usher. It was crazy good. Insidious Red Door was really good, too. I watched all the Insidious movies this past weekend. Billy the Kid on Amazon is really good. Whiplash is on Netflix and it's very intense. Not a thriller, but very tense about music and pushing toward perfection.

I set it aside for 4 days ( and knit a pair of socks) and now I can face it again with some pleasure instead of frustration

    Love the colors on the sock blank. I purchased 2 years ago. When I decided to use one, it was awful to knit with. The yarn was soooo kinky. I finished the socks and they are still crinkly. I took the second blank and put it on my niddynoddy then soaked it. It's still awful crinkly, so I think my problem is that they were in the sock blank for so long the crinkles are set in. Maybe unraveling blanks if you don't plan on using it right away, would help, I'm not sure. Love your socks you finished! Can't wait to see what you pull out for Christmas. I have no Christmas colored yarn so will enjoy seeing what you have. I feel you on the sweater. I'm making the ingrid slipover and struggled with one of the pattern sections. I eventually eliminated it and used a different pattern for that section. I was afraid I would break a needle it was so tight and I'm not a tight knitter. Years ago I started a cardigan and I really really struggled with the pattern. I couldn't understand the directions and could get no help from the gal who I was suppose to be knitting it with (she picked the pattern and was way ahead of me). I eventually just set it aside and didn't knit for a few years on anything. I felt defeated. Then a couple of years ago I started knitting again and picked it up. I threw the pattern away and used a different pattern to finish it, cause I was 3/4ths of the way through the cardigan. I love it and wear it when it gets cool here. So that might be an option for you. I've been doing a lot of frankensweaters.... lol

    Such gorgeous/Halloween socks you've knit! I'm SO behind on everything this year. You mentioned being a process knitter and how your sweater isn't fun for you. I've been finding that I can't seem to land on something that gets me excited to pick it up and work on it. I think I've found something, cast it on, get started and a little ways in, nope....so a ripping out I go. Not even socks are doing it for me-Whaaaat??? I want to knit in the worst way but I don't know WHAT I want to knit. Good grief! Can't wait to see all your amazing Christmas yarns. I'm decorating very early since we're having Thanksgiving the weekend before the actual holiday since family will be in town then. That means decorating begins a week frim Saturday-I can see my husband's eyes rolling now! 😄

  • @patches0121
    @patches0121 Рік тому

    I totally get what you are saying about the sweater, I'm going through that with attempting the vanilla sock. I have had to re-do so many times I finally had to give it a rest cause it was stressing me out, I worked so hard and made sure I had everything needed then I got to the heel and it's just not working. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. But the heel looks wrong about 6 or 7 rows in so out it comes along with the rest of the sock that took me days to do.

    I too started an oversized seasons cardigan and that pattern has fought my brain every step of the way. Mine has been in time out now for about a month because I just cringe when I think about working on it. I know I will love the finished product, so eventually I will sit down and power through it, it just won't be any time soon 😂

The stress.... cause I have to have one clue done before the next one shows up and I'm constantly second guessing my color choices.... to say nothing of the stress on my hands. Ugh.... I don't know if I'm a process knitter or a project knitter. I just knit what tickles my fancy and if it's not looking right, frog it and start over. I do like to have the finished project too.
