    The Farmers Daughter sock squad rotates three different yarn bases throughout the year. This is my first time joining in as well. My goal is to make things for myself with the yarn. I tend to give all the things away lol

      Thanks for that info!! I’m the same way…I feel like my gift knit pile is always bigger than the pile I make for myself. I’m trying to balance that more this year too!

    I too subscribe to Farmers Daughter. Love their yarns. My warmest Sox are all made with BFL. It’s a sturdy yarn and living in New England,they always keep my feet warm and toasty.

      @@ThePineCottage I love Garthenor. It’s a fine fingering weight but plumps up when washed. I get mine at The Woolly Thistle online. They’re in New Hampshire. It also has that crunchy feel, but I have no issues with it. There’s also West Yorkshire Spinners. Their BFL is DK weight. You can buy it at Wool Warehouse. I don’t know if you’ve ever bought from them. They’re located in the UK. Prices are very reasonable, including shipping. And you get your yarn in a few days.

    Woolens and Nosh has a Targhee sock base that is more durable than merino too. The Targhee socks are my longest lasting so far but I just put a BFL one in the rotation so hope that holds up better too. Thanks for another great episode.

    Hi Nicole
    This is my first time seeing your podcast. I really enjoyed it. I like your philosophy of taking your time with your knitting and that you don't feel that you have to rush to finish things. You want and should enjoy your knitting! That is real life as you said. It made feel better about my knitting. I am a crocheter for most of my life and pretty fast at it. I love to crochet and always wanted to learn to knit. I learned during COVID and am not very fast. I love knitting socks and also joined the Farmer's Daughter Sock Squad. I also like to knit my socks concurrently sonthat I have a complete pair. I loved your other projects and may try the crochet blanket project. What is the pattern you are using for that? Thanks for sharing your making and I will watch again. Glad younare feeling better.

      Thank you so much Stacey, and welcome! ❤️ I modified the Battenberg Blanket by Sandra of Cherry Heart (she has a crochet podcast here on UA-cam). Good luck with your socks and if you choose to crochet the blanket! You can’t go wrong with granny squares! 🥰

    I have always wanted to knit socks. I have make a few throughout my knitting life but have never liked it much. I just retired and started an UA-cam Chanel and one of my objectives this year is to find a way to knit and most importantly to like to knit socks … I looooved hearing the Information about the yarn and I’m for sure going to research more. Thank you for such good information ❤

    I love BFL for socks! I’ve been knitting my husband socks for awhile and I now have a LYS -Good Fibrations where the owner/dyer has BFL and the qualities of the fibre are AMAZING! The first things you’re going to notice is when you wash them. I do machine wash with warm or cold water and a fabric softener in the rinse and hand to dry. They come out so beautifully. My first time with you. ❤
