    You're such a relatable UA-camr! I know you weren't trying to be funny but there is so much comedy when one shares their vulnerability and can laugh at oneself. We've all been 'stuck' but I love the way you pushed through this marathon! Totally enjoyed the Part I and II sock design episodes! Thank you!

    Story of my life that I need to google the answer to every damn question that pops into my head 😂 I made it through college without internet and now we’re adducted to it. After this episode I’m tempted to time myself to see how long it takes me to knit 🧐

    Is it bad that laughed out loud when you said you started ‘off on the wrong foot’ for this endeavour? I’m not actually laughing at you but the choice of expression is priceless for a sock designer 😂 I totally love the design and colours of your sock! As an aside, one of your tutorials got me starting colourwork! I knit English style and my continental is just too tight right now! Thanks a much for clearly filmed, amazing tutorials! Can wait to dive into your knit stars videos! ❤🎉

    Create a mood board before you pick your colors. I would keep going with the off-white and make the heel and toe the red color. Think that would be really cute! Love the finished socks!!!

    Thank you for the sock!! It’s a great Leap Day sock. I am new watching your podcast. Kelly from Knits&Pieces showed your book and mentioned your podcast. It’s been a really fun one. I love your dog. I google everything too. I saw Steve Nicks in her last tour I think 2016. Hot yoga is great try it again. I did Bikrams Hot yoga years ago for a few months. It was hard but after you feel good.

    Colors are such a funny thing. Ad soon as you started knitting the leg with the dark burgundy color around the middle of the video I was like Nope! However, as a lover of all things purple I was hoping to see how that combo worked.
    I have a lot of time on my hands but I can’t imagine knitting on your time deadlines, it would make me extra anxious. Different strokes for different folks and all that, right? Glad it works for you.

    I’ve been cracking up throughout this video! Cause I’m doing the same thing with my WIP. This morning I did the math to see if I could finish my second sock today and well , it’s taking me a bit longer than I expected. So now my goal is tomorrow. We’ll see. 😂😅
    I have some new fun yarn to use that is keeping me motivated to finish. I also ordered your book and can’t wait to pair my new yarn with your patterns! 👏

    Even if you design the socks with your own color scheme, the chances are people would knit with what they like and don't follow your color combination. Hmmm....

    I thought I was the only one who stopped to Google how big is Big Foot or Idris Elba’s birthday. I am not alone. I asked my knitting group about sock knitting and they all groaned. But I love the idea of putting lots of pretty colors into one project. Now I’m doubting myself.

    Very interesting to get a peek at the design process, you've inspired me to dig for some colorful yarn for my next pair of socks! I enjoy knitting socks for myself, and for my 6yr gdtr because she loves wearing them, and they knit up so quickly 😂

    Thank you for admitting you are not thrilled with sock #1. How many times have we knitters found ourselves there? The other thing I have discovered knitting color work. I can hold the colors together, sort them into piles, and I am still unhappy with how those colors knit together. I have also been pleasantly surprised.

    All the angst was worth it. I love the neutral vibe and would like to see the heel/toe in the red-orange. My thought about color is to consider the value (saturation) when combining colors.

    I hear you…up, down, distractions! For me (any…some…no, MOST!?) I may change my mind (which is a LOT), at which point I, ohhh, wash dishes (gasp!!!) or do some other c.h.o.r.e. that I realllly don’t want to do… while I decide “what’s best” for that particular project. Sigh. I just don’t fight it. Tomorrow is always better! I’ve learned I can’t “psych” myself. And I’ve tried. lol
    Too many (color) choices can stump me, freeze me…
    Thank you for the pattern! I think it’s perfect!
    By the way, you could probably have finished your sock/s quicker IF IF IF they were stockinette. Ask me how I know (Broken Rope socks w 2 gym stripes seemed to take a while. However, once that knit/purl rhythm kicked in…I was cruising!!!)
    Thanks for making me chuckle! And that first pair wasn’t THAT ugly!

    I LUV the design and the colours you eventually decided upon! I’m exactly the same as you. I think I should be able to churn out a pair of socks every day. My brain is working faster than my hands and I just want to get to the next pair. While I’m knitting socks, I’m watching other people knit socks. I fall asleep knitting socks. I think I need help! 😳😅
    PS - thank you so much for sharing this pattern. 💕

    I just got home from visiting my grandkids overnight, and had to run in and watch this week's episode😅 I was so bummed that I forgotten to bring my earbuds so I could watch b4 bed last night, but my husband so would not have appreciated that move. But, he was totally fine waking us all, including the 11 month old baby, with his alarm at 5 am this morning😂
    I get the laughing. I do the samething. I do find, some people are humorless in certain situations about it. Like the time we were white water rafting down the New River in WV. The guide said we could float in our life jackets down a set of rapids, but he cautioned stay on the left of the large rock. Well, as only I can do, I got going down the right side of that rock and couldnt swim against the current. All I could do was laugh. My husband said, "I'm gonna need to to quit laughing and swim harder!" Yeah that wasnt even a possibility, so was else was I to do but laugh.
    The plus side is my grandkids think I am a hoot , because Gaga is always laughing!

    Both my husband (non-knitting knitting enthusiast) and I (knitting all the time) are enjoying you and your channel and your sweet dog! I love the sock and the color combination. Years ago, Shakespeare Santa Cruz did a set design using this retro color combo, and it was stunning. I can’t remember what play it was, but the set was memorable!

  • @DawnLewis79
    @DawnLewis79 6 місяців тому

    I really needed to hear that someone else gets the huge lows (and highs!) from knitting. Tried your weaving in ends as you go, and your jogless method for stripes this afternoon - complete failure! Now I don't feel so bad!!
    Another low: seeing everyone in my sock knitting groups knitting socks from your book when mine won't be here for at least 2 more months!!!
    Thanks for being so real. Take care!

  • @enidwiese4449

I related to all the distractions, and underestimations of the amount of time it takes me to finish knitting socks (although I’ve knitted plenty of them! ). Love the final sock version and am downloading it now… Thanks for the generous coupon. You are the best! See you next week.

  • @kpags6681
    @kpags6681 6 місяців тому

    So amazing! Thanks for taking us along on the design journey. You finished them, and they are beautiful, that’s what sets you apart…it’s a process and it doesn’t always go as planned. You making yourself vulnerable to us is such a gift. I teach knitting and so often knitter’s get very caught up in perfection and getting down when things go wrong. I try to get them to understand that they are learning and mistakes aren’t setbacks they are opportunities, frustrating opportunities, for sure, but alas such is life! Thanks again and YAY you did it🎉

  • @dostopitnow
    @dostopitnow 6 місяців тому

    I love how real you are. I laughed with you. Such fun! I think March is a hard month with all the weather changes. Warm one day cold the next, that is a roller coaster. So, I think it effects us emotionally without our actually being aware. I find decision making hard in March but feel a deep need to make changes, not a good combination….. and it translates in almost everything I do. Sock knitting is just another area that get messy.❤❤❤

    Check to see if your area has radiant hot yoga vs traditional hot yoga. My favorite hot yoga class was radiant heat ( it came from the floor) vs heating the entire room. They turn on the heat at the beginning of class, and it warms up as you warm up, and the heat gets more intense as you do more floor work and are closer to the heat source, then they turn it off and it slowly cools off as you cool down.

    I was going to vote on your choices early but there were too many 😁 .. it’s snowing here and a bit blah but watching you made me laugh and feel like the sun was shining
