By the way, I watch a LOT of Vlogmas's and yours is one of my favorites. You take the random bit of daily yarn and turn it in to a pair of socks in ONE day, and let us watch the whole thought process. Brilliant. Honestly, I get tired of watching endless opening of advents and listening to endless musical interludes, which I don't watch anyway (I just listen.)
OMG Rachel, I had quite a few hearty laugh-out-loud- belly chuckles with this vlogmas episode! I love the content you put out with your sense of humor and personality that you bring into all these episodes. Thank you for bringing lighthearted comic relief to my days and happiest of holidays to you and yours. Cheers!
Your socks are amazing. Love your idea of using up all the leftovers into a notions pouch or whatever there is enough to make. Great idea to use it up and clear the cones. I think we always thought of tootsies as toes. You are doing great.
G’day Rachel, keep your ‘tootsies’ warm ⭐️ that’s how I’ve always known them here in Oz 🇦🇺 So good to see your husband pop on video too. Another interesting and always fun episode 🍀🍀🍀🍀🎄🎄🎄
I think of tootsies as toes. Suggestion for any leftover yarn from the cranking socks? Make another Musselburgh hat. It will always remind you of your bestie, Leslie, and 2024--the year of her advent yarn gift to you and sock cranking. If you run out, finish with other stash!
I had to think about it but tootsies are indeed your toes. I haven't heard that word in forever. lol. But it brought back sweet memories of my mother so thank you for that. 🥰
Tootsies are the toes for us lol That gave me such a good laugh! The whole foot are feets lol I have no idea why. I've really been enjoying your vlogmas so far, you are such good company
I think your day 5 socks are TOTALLY cute! Btw, I would _never_ have watched actual Gladatorial games way back when. And I would never watch that movie now. :)
You literally had me laughing out loud when the chair made farting noises. 😂 We’ve all been there and it never gets less funny (if you’re immature like me). I love your personality and watching your podcast!
My folks are from Iowa and they called toes tootsies, so of course I would be crushed to find out that after all these years they were wrong. Did they not know, was it just a fairy tale? Loved your striped socks, and the fact that you admitted to getting sauce on your sweater😂😂😂😂 ..
I really enjoy your vlogs for the beautiful knitting you create and also when your dog makes an appearance! My question for your Q&A is, do you ever knit for your dog e.g. blanket, outdoor body warmer?
I’ve always considered tootsies to mean the foot. After further thought, I think it means both together. Toes merged with footsies to make tootsies. 🦶🏻😜
I have always thought that certain customs, pastimes and popular activities were a real sign of what people are like...and it's not a favorable view in many cases 😐On a brighter note, I would LOVE it if my sisters decided to take up knitting (not a chance!) I think you're so fortunate. And yes: the striped socks look great. DJ is a peach 🙂
In my house, the word was “piddies”. And it meant toes or feet, depending on the context. Also, I’d like to hear the “Rachel & DJ” story. I love the way you talk about him! It’s like you’re new sweethearts instead of several years married. (Yeah, I’m sappy.)
I have been considering getting a sock machine and have been to the dean and bean website. Can you talk about which cylinders to get and what else I would need to get, etc?
Love your idea for a q & a show. I would then be emboldened to ask how you shape socks on a sock machine? People have tried to explain this to me before, but I cannot grasp the concept.
Weird your superwash socks are felting. I do wash and dry my hand knit superwash socks. I dont know what your laundry managment is like but a small basket for your and DJ's wool socks so you can just run them on a gentle cycle and a lower dryer heat or hang to dry . Also a smokey 100% wool sweater can be hung outside til it no longer smells instead of washing it. To me Tootsies are toes. Pig dogs are the whole foot. Somewhere in life I combined the little piggies that went to market and the phrase my dogs are barking ( aka my feet hurt). Digging the socks.

I try my best to keep it interesting, thanks for watching! 😊
I love how the socks came out! Sometimes knitting is a real trust the process type craft
Tootsies were always in reference to toes for me and my family!
Fair enough! Lots of people are of the same mind in the comments!

You're so kind, thank you for watching! 🥰
I would love to see a tutorial on how the sock machine works. It’s quite intriguing.
I LOVE the idea of using up all the leftovers in a notions pouch or something! So fun!!
I have a few ideas for that, so stay tuned! 😄

I so enjoy watching your videos, your personality is so easy going, and comical to watch. Thank you so very much
You're so sweet, thank you! 🥰

You are inspiring me to research circular sock machines with the hope of buying one!
They are really fun!!
I grew up in Northern CA. "Tootsies" are toes. Same with "Toesies". "Dogs" are your feet, as in "my dogs are barking".

That's a fun idea!
Definitely the whole foot!!
AGREE!
Oh… at the end of the month you could make a scrappy scarf with all the leftover yarn
That's a great idea!
If you find a combo you love without nylon, you could crank up a scarf or leg warmers?
So true!
Stripes came great!
Thank you!
Good morning. Socks. Great. Love you cranking out socks. I knit mine by hand. It takes me a week for a pair.
I had to think about it but tootsies are indeed your toes. I haven't heard that word in forever. lol. But it brought back sweet memories of my mother so thank you for that. 🥰
Aww I’m glad I could remind you of her

You'd think I'm constantly farting with the sounds this chair makes LOL
"I'm mimicking the conditions the plant would have in nature." I literally spit out my coffee

Okay I can respect this!

Love both pair of socks! Will the dark pair be for DJ?
No they’d be way too small for him.
Growing up, tootsies were feet. Love your vlogmas and your podcasts in general.
Yay! Thank you!
Team whole foot!
YES!!!!!!
Your sweater is beautiful
Thank you!
I thought tootsies were toes…I like the stripey socks!

I always say tootsies when I'm referring to my toes!
NOOOOO!
In the UK tootsies are toes 😂
Good to know!
Tootsies are toes. Anne🐨au
So many people are saying toes!
I grew up on the east coast and tootsies meant (and still mean, to me) the whole foot.
AGREE

I’d love to know what sock machine you have, what its name is, etc!

I have been debating getting a sock machine. How long does it take to crank a pair of socks?
About 45 minutes to an hour if everything goes smoothly!
I think of tootsies as tors but also sometimes as feet.
Fair enough! For me it's always feet.
Toes. Toes. Toes. Feet are feeties.
😫😫😫
I think tootsies is simply just toes.
QA? I’m also in a biracial marriage and would love to know how you and DJ met.
I’ll add this to the list of questions to answer in my Q&A!
Tootsies are the whole unit, my bf agrees lol
VALIDATION
I think tootsies are just toes. My husband says toes too and we were raised in very different parts of the country.
Interesting!
Rachel, 1. what do you do for a job? 2. How many hours a day do you knit on average?
I’ll add these to my list of questions to answer!
Tootsies to me were always the whole foot ❤🧶
YES!!!!!
Tootsies definitely toes
IT CAN'T BE TRUE
Do handmade socks really stand up to store bought ???

Tootsies = toes. Although Merriam-Webster says toes OR feet.
So diplomatic of Merriam-Webster!
You are hilarious. Let's be bffs. Tootsies are toes.

Evan is this so diplomatic but you must choose which side of the war you will fight for.

NOOOOOOOO
Toe
So many people are team toe!
1 tootsie = 1 foot
Agreed!!!
Is it rude to ask how old you are? I know it's not a creativ or cool question, but I have genuanly wondered about that 🤷♀️
