Lean into Love, it renders hate powerless. Have a wonderful week. Another Canadian here staying focused on all the good around me, and walking away from all the discord and hate.
Hang in there girl, I feel the same but we have to just find some peace anyway we can. I too have a crippling fear of heights so I completely understand.
yayyy! happy to catch up with you, Lisa. Def here for the distraction and allllll the socks. (And um, excuse me. the "matching but not matching" fraternal socks?! I see you!) Also, it is embarrassing the speed with which I hustled to purchased a 10x50g pack of undyed yarn from Knomad. What a steal. Thank you for sharing it. Lastly - an empty house just hits different... I'm glad you got to have some peace and GOOD sleep this past weekend.
Have I’ve been making fraternal socks all along and not realizing it? 🤣 I started working with the Knomad yarn. The 75/25 4 ply base is heavenly! You’re going to love it! 😊
Oh, you are not the only knitter who has been in need of some retail therapy this past week. I'm truly dreading the road ahead. Thanks for podcasting and giving those of us who need it, a lovely distraction from the crazy. Enjoy your time alone and savor those lovely nights are full sleep!
Sending big hugs. Now is a time to look to community and give each other grace as we grieve however we need to, and I want to thank you for everything you do to nurture this yarn community.
Nothing better than an extra day off work and Knitting All the Yarn podcast! Can you believe my yarn still hasn't arrived? Good thing I wasn't in a rush.
Binging your podcast while I'm sicker than any of my 4 dogs, on Christmas Eve no less. Your projects are amazing as usual! However those freckled whimsey skeins.... The browns. Girl, chefs kiss!! I can't wait to catch up and see what you knit next!!
Good Morning Lisa! Thank you for showing up for us today. Sometimes when we feel like the world is on fire we need to return to the things that are the same - the things that give us comfort, like knitting, like your podcast. Seeing you this morning made me feel like some things are the same even though it feels like some things will never be the same again. Sending peace and love 💕
Thanks for podcasting Lisa and I’ve also been indulging my need for a little retail therapy to get through the last week. Yarn and yarnie things are what we need right now!
I absolutely sympathize! I wanted so very much to stress buy yarn as well. At the same time, I am terrified about how expensive just the basics will become in the future, let alone all the other chaos that will happen. I may treat myself anyway while I still can. Shhh. 🤫🤪
Lisa- I suffer from depression and anxiety, so I want to encourage you to focus on what is good and focus on what you’re grateful for. And for me spending time in prayer. And of course knit all the projects! 😊❤
OMG. 3 days by yourself Lisa. All this and heaven too. My roommate has a short philosophical saying he remembers from a long long time ago and vocalizes it now and then. "No act of kindness is ever wasted" lovely haul from Ruby and roses. I purchased her advent calender this year. Ordered it in March and it arrived October 24th. The unopened box is collecting dust near the fireplace. I plan on opening the box on Thanksgiving for the December 1st beginning. Remember renting VHS videos. Be kind and rewind. I wish my family would go away for a few days. I was going to have my doctor tell my family they need to go away for awhile for my sanity. But I know I just want to knit socks. Thank the Lord I have key to the sunroom. Never had to use it but they know me. Hope you have a restful calm week Lisa. Might we all be blessed with that sentiment. Ken😮
Lisa, thanks for another great episode. The November Freckled Whimsy? Woodsy? Oh, my!!! I just switched out my Christmassy club for her monthly club, and I am super bummed that I will miss this one! Enjoy, and I look forward to seeing your finished socks!
Emotional Support Canadian here, sending you big hugs. Most of the world has been watching in disbelief and horror ❤. I've never successfully kept at a knitted blanket, but one I want to try is the Beerkeepers Quilt knitted blanket...have you seen it? I think I'll try it as a takealong project. In December I'll be taking part in the Imagined Landscapes mystery gnome-along. I think the pattern is still 50% off until Wednesday....I'm trying to tempt you! It takes 4 minis.
Thank you so much for recording last week..I too had a rough time showing up to work but retail therapy helped and furiously trying to finish a pair of socks for my husband before a hunting trip this month. 5 days that I get the whole bed to myself and my daughter and I are going to get the tree up as we so need to find the joy! All your projects and yarn are lovely! Oh and while I have no fear of flying I am terribly afraid of heights😳
Yep. Retail therapy for the win. It's been a no good, very bad, terrible, awful week and I'm barely holding on. Sending you strength and endurance, a little light, and hugs if wanted.
I love your channel..I,m addicted to everything socks..and yours are always beautiful!....I,m scared to peices and cranking out even more socks now!...I drool over your lovely yarn in the background too.....sending the best from 🇨🇦
I labeled my recent podcast "Here's Hoping..." because I hope things will be ok, I hope I'm wrong about what will happen...I still have hope, and lots of knitting.
Thank you as always… love all the socks and new yarn!!! I may have also stress purchased some yarny goodness… oops! It’s definitely been a rough week.. sad💜
Lisa!!!! FELICI IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!🎉❤️❤️👏👏👏 I'm so excited!!!!! It says its for a "limited time" - and I don't see a value pack for it?? Idk if i should order 2 skeins of each or wait a bit and hope 🤞🤞 they'll add the value pack🤷♀️. What would you do?? LOL!! Hugs to you - keep on keeping on!😉
We will all survive, no one gets their way all the time. There are good times and bad times in every situation in life, not just political ones. Let’s just focus on a hobby all of us enjoy and buy the yarn and look forward to seeing these podcasts.
Hi Lisa… I just found yarn from 2009 in my stash that I totally forgot about. Don’t feel bad about the yarn in your stash. You’re influencing me to knit more socks.
You are right. I can't get over it😢 I had some serious yarn therapy. I bought a bunch of knit picks speckle sock yarn and a bunch of HHF speckle yarn. And of course lots of self striping yarn! Which is Night Owl Fibres! Love their yarn! Planning on KNITTING SOCKS THRU MY GRIEF. Stay strong 💙
Love the idea of making incorporating the I-cord as you go for the cozy comfort throw. Makes me want to frog the very little bit that I started and go that route. Thanks for the info in the bare yarn too! Love your podcast!
I snored and kept my husband up at night. Then we got adjustable frames for the king size bed. Separate mattresses so less noticing of movement in the bed by him. And I could raise my head so that i don’t snore anymore. When we visit family, I take a wedge to prop up my head, but he says it doesn’t work as well. I can still sleep on my side and back. I have never slept on my stomach.
I feel you. Anxiety is ramped up right now. I just finished ordering a bunch of bare yarn to make the Sweet Shop Blanket from Laura Penrose. Btw....did you see that Felici is back for now?? Hang in there, it's all we can do rn.
Thanks for sharing your idea of doing the Resplendence Shawl. I have a gradient advent coming from Fibre Fox this year and have been going back and forth about what pattern to knit and think that this may be the perfect project! I love that I would be able to use almost the whole advent in this one and think a gradient would look really pretty.
Hello Lisa, from Swansea, Illinois. ❤❤❤❤❤ Do you know that Felic yarn is back and they have new colors. My problem is that I purchased two of each colors, which should be here soon.
I hope you had a lovely weekend alone and your family had safe travels. I traveled this weekend and was so happy to be back home last night. Your projects look great! I’m trying to decide what I’m doing with my advents this year. I have plans for two of them, but not sure about the others.
I can so relate to your mood and Yes thank goodness for knitting! I marvel at your prolific sock knitting. I’m lucky to get 2 pairs a month done. Thanks for the link to knomad. I’ve done a bit of yarn dyeing and just ordered a bunch so I can do more. Well, some is for a blanket as well. Thanks again. Peace to you.
Love from across the pond. Knitting is definitely a help. I'm still on the wavy border of the mkal, planning to do a stripey icord bind off when I get there. ❤
Thank you for the wonderful podcast. I always enjoy watching and listening. Question about cozy comfort throw: what is the actual pattern name/designer? I’m interested in checking it out. Thank you. 😊Take good care. ❤
You should not feel bad for having your yarn of the month “resting” in your stash so long. I just cast on a pair of socks with yarn from August 2013. 😂
I’m with you so much with all the feelings and concentrating on crafting as coping (yeah I bought another Advent yarn calendar too, this one in Opal yarn because that Opal scrappy Musselburgh of yours is great inspiration for medicine knitting). Focusing positively on the Christmas gift knitting. Freckled Whimsy Advent has shipped so yay for that too
What a week. 😔 So glad to have my knitting as well. I am also terrified of heights. I’m talking my entire body starts shaking if I try to go above the second rung of a ladder but strangely enough flying is totally fine. It’s the craziest thing. Doesn’t bother me a bit! Bridges hard pass. Flying? Sign me up 😂
Your socks are gorgeous! Lisa, it will be ok. My daughter is upset too. We don't discuss politics but we see each others Facebook posts. My relationship with those that don't align with me are so much more important than anything. God has control of everything. Love you dear friend!
The only reason I haven't been stress buying is because I'm on a medical leave and not making a paycheck right now. Last year I took a night time teaching gig to fuel my yarn habit. Thankful that I did because my stash is pretty good and it will keep me occupied instead of fretting. Also...I didn't fly until I was 35 (I'm 46). I am terrible with heights too but oddly find sitting by the window of the plane is soothing. Weird, huh?
So, I rarely comment but today I am. First off yes I always enjoy your podcasts because I also am an avid sock knitter. Feeling devastated after this election I went through a series of stress buying plus I am avoiding all news etc. In the end none of this helped for long. The one thing I did do that has pulled me out of "election depression" was to start my Freckled Whimsy Christmas Advent and it is working. Sorry but not sorry I cheated and started beforehand. 😊
Thank you for recording, I’m with you ❤ My cousin was on the campaign team in your state. I’m looking forward to hearing his perspective at Christmas dinner.
I can empathize with you about the election. I know I would be feeling the same way if Harris had won. We are AMERICANS and we can differ and still come together - especially over our love of crafting! Sending hugs your way ♥
I’m with you sister….. the world is ……. No words!
I'm right there with you on last week's debacle. Hang in there!
Lean into Love, it renders hate powerless. Have a wonderful week. Another Canadian here staying focused on all the good around me, and walking away from all the discord and hate.
Bravo for what you are saying and not saying! Knitting is helping.
Hang in there girl, I feel the same but we have to just find some peace anyway we can. I too have a crippling fear of heights so I completely understand.
I am with you all the way. Stress yarn buying is a very reasonable response. Take care and keep on knitting.
Jinny

I truly love your podcast! It’s nice knowing another obsessed Swiftie and knitter who also loves Ruby and Roses yarn 🫶.
🫶🏻
Retail therapy is valid ❤ Much love coming from Canada
Oh, you are not the only knitter who has been in need of some retail therapy this past week. I'm truly dreading the road ahead. Thanks for podcasting and giving those of us who need it, a lovely distraction from the crazy. Enjoy your time alone and savor those lovely nights are full sleep!
Sending big hugs. Now is a time to look to community and give each other grace as we grieve however we need to, and I want to thank you for everything you do to nurture this yarn community.
Thanks for showing up, even when it's hard...oh and now I have 1500g of white fingering sock yarn coming. Thanks???? lol
Thanks for recording. It’s been a crappy week, and you’re right, I needed the distraction.
Nothing better than an extra day off work and Knitting All the Yarn podcast! Can you believe my yarn still hasn't arrived? Good thing I wasn't in a rush.
Bummer! Looks like it ships from Ohio, that’s probably why I got mine so fast.
@ I’m far far away from there 🤣
Binging your podcast while I'm sicker than any of my 4 dogs, on Christmas Eve no less. Your projects are amazing as usual! However those freckled whimsey skeins.... The browns. Girl, chefs kiss!! I can't wait to catch up and see what you knit next!!
Thanks! I hope you feel better soon! 💚

love the speckley heel toe cuff with stripes! (also super upset with the world right now and happy to have my knitting to turn to)
Lisa, I totally understand about your feelings from the week. I have also decided to beef up the yarn stash and to concentrate on Christmas knitting.
Thank you so much for persevering and giving us a podcast episode! Your makes are always so beautiful. Have a wonderful week! 😊❤
Thanks for podcasting Lisa and I’ve also been indulging my need for a little retail therapy to get through the last week. Yarn and yarnie things are what we need right now!
Thank you and hope you feel better this week. This is a crazy world and we have no control over some things . Take care
I absolutely sympathize! I wanted so very much to stress buy yarn as well. At the same time, I am terrified about how expensive just the basics will become in the future, let alone all the other chaos that will happen. I may treat myself anyway while I still can. Shhh. 🤫🤪
Yes! We’ll need to stock up on yarn, because things might get really expensive later. 💚
Felici is back!!!!! ❤
Lisa- I suffer from depression and anxiety, so I want to encourage you to focus on what is good and focus on what you’re grateful for. And for me spending time in prayer. And of course knit all the projects! 😊❤
I appreciate you sharing your projects and hope you feel better next week.
Thank you for recording, you are great company while I knit, and I love seeing all your making! Retail therapy is totally warranted after last week!

Ooo! I’m jealous! I didn’t discover Ruby and Roses until recently. I’m hoping to snag one of her advents next year! 🤞🏻
Yes. And I snag one for $ 291.00. OUCH............Shhhhhhh!😊
Lisa, thanks for another great episode. The November Freckled Whimsy? Woodsy? Oh, my!!! I just switched out my Christmassy club for her monthly club, and I am super bummed that I will miss this one! Enjoy, and I look forward to seeing your finished socks!
I’m knitting with Woodsy right now! It’s so good! 😊

I haven’t heard of that blanket. I’ll check it out. I’ve been thinking about making Gnomes again. I think 2025 will be the year of the gnomes. 🤣
I love Louise Penny books. She was one of the speakers at my daughters university graduation, and she’s a lovely lady and great speaker.
Thank you for the yarn enabling! I ordered the same amount you did from Knomad. ❤. I hope you enjoyed your alone time!
Thank you so much for recording last week..I too had a rough time showing up to work but retail therapy helped and furiously trying to finish a pair of socks for my husband before a hunting trip this month. 5 days that I get the whole bed to myself and my daughter and I are going to get the tree up as we so need to find the joy!

Thank you as always… love all the socks and new yarn!!! I may have also stress purchased some yarny goodness… oops! It’s definitely been a rough week.. sad💜
Prayers, hope and love to you. I am devastated at the results, but I know beauty can rise from the ashes! Love your stress yarn!

I have to be honest. I’m not a fan of the colors. I think knit picks has ruined it for me. I’m probably not going to buy any.
@knitalltheyarnpodcast5512 OH that's a bummer 😢 I agree with you on the colors . . . there's only, like, 3 or 4 that I REALLY like🙁🤷♀️
We will all survive, no one gets their way all the time. There are good times and bad times in every situation in life, not just political ones.
Let’s just focus on a hobby all of us enjoy and buy the yarn and look forward to seeing these podcasts.

Felici is back!
Love the Snow Joke socks ….. gorgeous 👍🧶😘

I just stress-bought a kit for the Hiberknitalong. Stephen West will give me hope for the future.
What a week. 😔 So glad to have my knitting as well. I am also terrified of heights. I’m talking my entire body starts shaking if I try to go above the second rung of a ladder but strangely enough flying is totally fine. It’s the craziest thing. Doesn’t bother me a bit! Bridges hard pass. Flying? Sign me up 😂
I, too, can never remember to post progress pictures with any regularity. 😅 I wait eagerly for your weekly videos. I also feel your pain. 😢
I am heart broken also. So thank you for doing the podcast. Your socks are so gorgeous. Have a blessed week.
Is Felici back? The old one with larger stripes? There is even a Lisa color way!
I totally relate to Stress Buying yarn. It took EVERYTHING for me not to buy new yarn.
Thanks for the tip on the Knomad yarn sale! Also thanks for keeping it peaceful. We don’t all have the same beliefs so I appreciate it,
❤❤glad ur here and decided to podcast,,,,🎉
Will catch up later,,
Early morning appt then knitting !!!!🎉

Did you see Knit Picks brought back Felici at $6.99 a 50g skein? I’m not excited about the price 😢
Yep. I saw it. I’m not a fan of the colors. Kind of disappointed.
I'm curious about the crease down the side of the sock leg, is it because they've been blocked that way or because of using magic loop?
I don’t block my socks. It’s because I knit them magic loop. 😆
What weight yarn do you prefer for knitting socks-fingering or dk?
Great question! I like knitting both, but I tend to wear my fingering weight socks more. I only wear my DK socks in winter when it’s really cold.
Thank you for recording, I’m with you ❤ My cousin was on the campaign team in your state. I’m looking forward to hearing his perspective at Christmas dinner.
Look at the positive, things are going to be better again!
We’ll see.
I’m so grateful for the outcome of our election! We can all get back to some normalcy now! Your socks are lovely as usual!
Do you ever knit any thing other than socks, shawls and blankets? Garments perhaps 🤔 🤷🏼♀️
I don’t like knitting sweaters. 🤣
I can empathize with you about the election. I know I would be feeling the same way if Harris had won. We are AMERICANS and we can differ and still come together - especially over our love of crafting! Sending hugs your way ♥
I am very happy that Trump won. Love all the socks and projects.
We can agree to disagree. Thanks for watching! 💚
Absolutely we can. That’s what makes America great!
I think I cycled through the stages of grief this week and then dropped $$$ on yarn. Retail therapy FTW. 🫂
