I used to make hats with my scraps throughout the year and keep them in a bag which I would take to my son’s rowing team’s regattas. I would always volunteer to work the breakfast table and leave the bag for anyone to grab if they wanted one. The kids loved it. I was the hat lady🤪
It's always good to have a few vanilla projects on the go. I got stuck in a 3 hour train delay last week and everyone around me was complaining, but I was just happily knitting away.
Listen to that calling!! My church does a "crafters for Christ" where we have a few patterns of things that are needed locally and also we teach others so they can then make stuff for donations. I love it so much and I am so happy to hear you are doing that!!!
I enjoyed this week's episode...as usual. Vanilla knitting is a MUST. I am an elementary school teacher, and my goal is to have a vanilla sock project in my classroom that I only work on during wait times on campus.
I gave up on the Musselburgh hat cause of that pin hole cast on thingy....ah ha! I will now try again after hearing your suggestion of knitting in the round. I like that idea that that hat folds in on itself. Cheers.
I love your bookmarks, great for Christmas gifts. Since I am watching these from latest to oldest, I love the GreenBay packers socks. I only have to watch back to about the beginning of September.
Using your DPN sock tutorial I was able to figure how to use DPNs and just finished my first sock. I’m beyond happy and excited!! Thank you for graciously sharing your knowledge.
I love the bookmarks! I may have to try that! I would say to try to starch one or two just to see what the difference is. I like both starched bookmarks and floppy bookmarks so if I do some, I’ll probably try it both ways myself 😁 thank you for sharing About the cast on for your hat! I have one that has been sitting in a project bag for a couple of weeks now, it’s black, and I just did not want to fiddle with the cast on, but now I’m ready to go! Have a great week!💛
Happy happy anniversary With the 8 year and 250 episodes What a privilege to watch Socks so awesome I watch the sock totarials and learn alot The toe in the mini lovely pop Your books marks is so pretty gift its a free pattern thanks a lot Starchong not necessary
I just learned to knit this past summer. I really enjoy watching your videos as I knit my vanilla socks on 9 inch circulars. You're so pleasant and your socks are always lovely.
Hi Kayla. Wow 8 years of you podcasting. Congratulations. That is amazing. Thankyou. I have been watching you since January 2023. I have only knitted 18 pairs of socks but I also crochet and cross stitch and now and then diamond painting. Someone in a craft group I go to had a lady knitting socks. I wanted to make some too. I looked up UA-cam and found your pattern. I have been knitting with alot of sock yarn from America as I just love the colours. We don't have many stores like you do here in Australia. Love your Serendipity socks. The colours are gorgeous. Hope you have a great weekend.
8 years - that is amazing! I would leave the bookmarks unstarched because I would miss the soft feel of the yarn. I finished my first pair of Heel Toe Do Si Do socks today and I really enjoyed knitting that pattern. I was expecting a more complicated pattern repeat… so 2 alternating rows is right up my alley.
Grats on your Eighth Year!! Your books marks are cute. I did have ornaments I dipped in water with Elmer's Glue to make them stiffer and hold their shape. I pinned them down on wax paper to dry. Happy making, you'll!!
Those bookmarks turned out so cute! Just blocking, I think, is fine. Since you're looping the tassel yarn & then braiding it, you could use a contrast color for something different. You're right. That was a lot of reading. I love psychological thrillers. Have a great week!
I only found about knitting podcasts in the last year and a half and yours was the first one I found when looking for sock tutorials. I had never knitted socks before (hats, gloves, sweaters, etc..)and now I always have a sock project going! Your podcast is my favorite part of my Friday mornings. Thank you for all you do! Edited to add, our church is connected to one of the hospitals here and I'm in a group that knits beanies for chemo patients. There's always (unfortunately) a big demand and the patients really appreciate that.
It's always so much fun to see what all you're working on and what you've finished. Glad to hear the start to the Musselburgh hat worked-that will make it a lot easier when I decide to get one started. For now-gift knitting full swing. Where did this year go?????
Happy 8 years and 250 episodes !!! Kay, you're the reason I started sock knitting about a year ago. Your tutorials were so thorough and now I'm addicted. I've knitted 26 pairs so far and don't see an end to this wonderful addiction🧦🧦🧶🧶
To starch lace crocheted cookies my grandma taught me to mix white glue with water. Place your item in the mixture to soak it, then ring them out and lay flat to dry. I prefer starched to floppy.
Congratulations on 8 years! That is awesome, and I can see why people have stuck around for awhile, I have been here for about a year maybe a little more and I am so thankful I found your channel!
Another lovely video with some great projects. Thanks for 8 years! I think I would iron on a slightly stiffer interfacing on the back of one bookmark and see if I like it. Starching makes the whole thing so scratchy.
Congratulations on 8 years and 250 podcasts! Quite an achievement and I’ve possibly watched everyone! As an avid sock knitter too, it’s one of my go to channels! I donate socks too and I like to think in a very small way that my socks are keeping someone’s toes cosy! Take care x
Thanks for the tip on the Musselburgh hat! I can’t tell you how many times that cast-on has deterred me from making a hat. You have probably heard of this organization but I have a Project Linus chapter in my area and there are many throughout the country. They focus on making blankets for babies and kids. I make donations every now and then when I get the urge to make baby blankets.😊
Ie downloaded the pattern for when... I’ve been mucking around with one pair of socks for two months , still unfinished but since Thursday morning is D_day so to speak, there will be no knitting for a while. I’m thinking when healing starts I might try some book marks. They’d be lovely with colorwork but then the back would show floats. I have to think about it for a while. I’ll certainly have time. I’ve just bought a ton of Opal, Van Gogh and others, will keep me busy over winter. Have a lovely weekend.
Congrats on 8 years that's amazing! Love your channel and you! Thanks for the musselburgh follow-up I just started my first one since you shared that the regular cast-on works. Using fingering yarn on 2.5 US needles, going to make the AL for myself, hope it's not too big since it's in pink! Would love to knit and donate, have always wanted to do that, too. But, I'm a slow knitter and not sure where to donate. Thought about preemie hats/hospital NICU. THANKS for ALL you do for us. God Bless. See ya next week! ❤😊
Love the scrappy Musselburgh. The yarn you used to start is one of my favorite Turtlepurl colorways. The bookmarks are so pretty. I’d block them and leave unstarched. Not sure how the starch would react with wool yarn. We know starch works with the crochet cotton…just my thoughts.
Hey!! I just downloaded the bookmark pattern! I’m excited to make some! I love using scraps up. I may starch a few to see but I don’t think they are necessary. Started more socks from opal yarn my friend gave me.
Many Congratulations and a mighty thank you for all the episodes!! Thank you for the inspiration and tutorials! Always enjoy your episodes….looking forward to MANY more! Do appreciate all you do!
Congrats on 8 years!! I’ve been here for maybe 4 years?? You taught me how to knit socks and I LOVE knitting them! Love watching the podcast and seeing your amazing socks!!
Omg fun! We were filming a podcast episode at the same time!! Mine publishes Monday the 21st. I’m new to the UA-cam community and I’m excited to see where it takes me. You’re part of the handful of people that inspired me to start!!
Hey!! I just downloaded the bookmark pattern! I’m excited to make some! I love using scraps up. I may starch a few to see but I don’t think they are necessary. Started more socks from opal yarn my friend gave me. I wish someone would do a UA-cam video of different ideas to start the musselborough hat!
Happy 8 years! So awesome. I immediately paused the video and went and downloaded the bookmark pattern. I am going to make a bunch as gifts for Christmas and include a Chapters Indigo gift card with them.
Seems amazing that you have been going for 8 years. Though I didn't start right at the beginning I do have memories of your many homes and projects. Thank you for all the inspiration. 🇬🇧
Hello all. If any one prefers to knit hats my fav free pattern is the boyfriend beanie by Expression Fiber Arts. Her pattern was super easy, free and fast. Kay congrats and thank you for all you do. Been with you for years. Your enthusiasm for knitting socks got me hooked. Thank you. 🎉 Jasmine
Congrats on 8 years!!!🎉 As I'm watching, I'm also knitting a Musselburgh with my minis. I also just cast on 8 stitches and it worked out fine. Anyway...always loving your podcast!
Congratulations on 250 episodes! I‘ve been here for about 2 years and yours is one of a few podcasts I always catch up on as soon as you release an episode. 😊 Thank you for sharing the bookmarks! Great idea for gift knitting
I have an extremely easy crochet hat tutorial on my channel that we use a lot for hat donations at our church. It works with any yarn and hook. Love your bookmarks I think I like the idea of them being soft.
I love the scrappy Musselburgh Hat and would like to make one myself. I made my first baby one and I did the cast on as you mentioned, cast on the initial start stitches and after getting so far, wove the tail through those stitches and darned it in and so, so easy and worked perfectly.
Oh my goodness, congratulations on your 250th episode! It has been such a joy watching you for the last however many years (ooh, I just checked--apparently I first found your channel during Vlogmas in 2018, wow time sure does fly) and I wish you many more years of joyful making!
I love how cute the charms are from the littlest charm co. Heads up for anyone ordering, be prepared to wait. Items listed as “in stock” take over a month to ship.
Congratulations on the anniversary. I’ve been here since the beginning so I can’t believe it was 8 years ago. I may copy you with making bookmarks. I bake individual Christmas cakes for seniors in my daytime prayer and chat group Two don’t like fruit cake so the little bookmarks would be great. My church knit group donate to a local charity called blossoms in a church across Belfast . They then divide and donate to many charities and groups. They will send stuff overseas to missions , preemie hats and cardigans to the local maternity hospital, support homeless charities and also take lists from social workers placing children and make up bundles with sweaters , hats mitts little comfort stuffies etc I also donate socks to the Marie Curie Sock challenge .
Your timing is incredible! I am meeting with some ladies from church tomorrow and the plan is to teach them how to crochet hats for the homeless. That pattern is perfect! No messing with rings or anything to start. I finally think I figured out what you’re talking about with the Musselburgh hat. Cast on the number after the first increase then split for magic loop. Gonna have to try it.
That’s awesome!!! This is exactly what I am hoping to do with this hat pattern as well. I have some ladies wanting to learn at my church. Let me know how it goes!
@@CrazySockLady we had a great time! Two ladies already knew how to crochet just needed some tips like where to find the back loop as opposed to the third loop. Also how to keep the rows straight and not end up with a trapezoid. Since one of the ladies had a bag about being a “happy hooker” they changed the name of the group to that from knitted in love. I asked if the pastor was going to announce it from the pulpit. LOL. one lady in order to get the flow of the hdc said you had to loop it, stab it , grab it, pull it, loop it, pull it all the way. Whatever works!
Congrats on 8 years! I work on what I call my Hats for Warmth Project. I knit hats in a 2X2 rib (because it’s stretchy and I don’t have to worry about which adult sizing) make it 9 1/2 inches long so there is a fold up cuff for more warmth over the ears and I like to use Hobby Lobby’s print colors of I Love This Yarn (it’s a worsted weight), so it is pretty. I make them for our local shelter, the winters get cold here in the midwest. I’d use wool for more warmth, but I’m not sure they would care to or know how to do all the fussing with wool, so simpler seemed better. Fall is finally here!
Y'all made me laugh out loud when you said you have to get going this month. You have made 72 pairs of socks this year - I have made two!!! 😂 Thanks for the Musselburgh info - great news!
I love the pattern you’re doing for the packers socks! I’m gonna make a pair in Cleveland brown colors for my step dad and some chiefs colors for myself!
I really need to get a move on with Christmas knitting, i want to make some socks for my Grandma and socks take me ages 😂 Love those finished socks, would love that yarn in sweater quantity.
In the “to starch or not to starch” question, I think a light starch is always best. Diluted starch and a good press with the iron makes a soft, still flexible, but not totally floppy result.
Your October yarnable skein looks sooooooo different than mine. Mine was basically a dark gray black skein with hardly any color. I’ve already destashed it. But I’m excited to see how yours knits up!
Did the Trellis Lace bookmark a couple of years ago, did not starch it, and I prefer it soft. I did block it aggressively, between that and staying in books, it stays nice and flat.
Congratulations on such big milestones🎉 I've been wanting to get back into donation making as well. I donated a bunch of preemie hats when my son was in the NICU and am not sure how to get back into it again. (Who I should get in touch with I mean)
I used to make hats with my scraps throughout the year and keep them in a bag which I would take to my son’s rowing team’s regattas. I would always volunteer to work the breakfast table and leave the bag for anyone to grab if they wanted one. The kids loved it. I was the hat lady🤪

Dpn are very helpful when doing mittens as well
I've been watching from the begining.. aways watching. U got me into socks... your patterns and tutorials make knitting sock so beginner friendly !!!
8 years is quite a milestone!! I always enjoy your yarny talk. The bookmarks are cute and a great idea.

Yay!!! 8 years! Congratulations 🎉👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻! Love the scrappy Musselburgh. I also did the same cast-on! Worked perfectly! 👍
I enjoy seeing you put your heart out there for those in need with your desire to create things for charity. It too is a calling to my crafting.
Happy happy anniversary With the 8 year and 250 episodes
What a privilege to watch
Socks so awesome
I watch the sock totarials and learn alot
The toe in the mini lovely pop

Starchong not necessary
Making Musselburgh hats is addictive. I have made at least 12 and want to get another one on my needles. Great car project when I am not driving. ❤
I just learned to knit this past summer. I really enjoy watching your videos as I knit my vanilla socks on 9 inch circulars. You're so pleasant and your socks are always lovely.
Congrats on 8 years! Thanks for all your tips, advice, sharing of patterns, yarn choices etc! ❤

Hello Kayla, from Swansea, Illinois.❤❤❤❤❤ Congratulations on 8 years of your experience in your tutorials, I have learned so much.
Oh my goodness, congratulations on your 250th episode! It has been such a joy watching you for the last however many years (ooh, I just checked--apparently I first found your channel during Vlogmas in 2018, wow time sure does fly) and I wish you many more years of joyful making!
Oh my goodness ❤ that yarn from Mama Jess ❤❤❤ those socks are going to be adorable!
The scrappy hat looks nice. I love using all of my scraps as well. Maybe you wanna take a look at the Full of minis hat - it is perfect for scraps :)
Nice socks. Love the scrappy hat! Thanks for sharing. Take Care.
I love how cute the charms are from the littlest charm co. Heads up for anyone ordering, be prepared to wait. Items listed as “in stock” take over a month to ship.
Congratulations on the anniversary. I’ve been here since the beginning so I can’t believe it was 8 years ago. I may copy you with making bookmarks.

250! Wow! thats amazing! I really like following you and I love your energy!
Love those socks; so beautiful. As for bookmarks, I would not use starch if they are short.
I make hats for the homeless shelter in my town. Love your socks and cute book marks. Love your Musselburgh hat ❤❤❤
Your timing is incredible! I am meeting with some ladies from church tomorrow and the plan is to teach them how to crochet hats for the homeless. That pattern is perfect! No messing with rings or anything to start. I finally think I figured out what you’re talking about with the Musselburgh hat. Cast on the number after the first increase then split for magic loop.

Congratulations!🎉 I’ve been here for six years! You were the first podcast I found after very pink knits. ❤❤
Congratulations on 8 years/250 episodes! Only been here a year but catching up with old episodes.
Busy watching and knit my scrappy socktober socks
Love your mummy's Jess colours
Love your woollenfibre socks simple but awesome
When you feel called, the only answer is yes. Beautiful projects. Thank you for sharing.
🙌🏻🙌🏻🩷
I would use a sparay starch which gives items a "stiff" look and feel but not overly so. 😊
Congrats on 8 years! I work on what I call my Hats for Warmth Project. I knit hats in a 2X2 rib (because it’s stretchy and I don’t have to worry about which adult sizing) make it 9 1/2 inches long so there is a fold up cuff for more warmth over the ears and I like to use Hobby Lobby’s print colors of I Love This Yarn (it’s a worsted weight), so it is pretty. I make them for our local shelter, the winters get cold here in the midwest. I’d use wool for more warmth, but I’m not sure they would care to or know how to do all the fussing with wool, so simpler seemed better. Fall is finally here!
That sounds like the perfect hat!
It works well and is a mindless knit, so it brings me mental comfort while I knit it to bring someone else physical comfort.
No starch for knit bookmarks. I have starched crochet cotton thread.
Note: starch will attract munching bugs.
Oh I’m glad you showed the bookmark unblocked. With it curling, I’d have thought I was doing something wrong and would have scrapped it. Lol.
Another great episode. Thanks for your content.
I think it is your October Yarnable that you showed the hank next to cake up... which, is so beautiful! Looking forward to seeing those worked up!
I bought the yarn winder you liked it’s great easy to use. I also bought the swifter love that it is table top and doesn’t take up much space
Congratulations and thanks for eight years of content. 🎉
You’re the OG Kayla. Congrats on your success.
Y'all made me laugh out loud when you said you have to get going this month. You have made 72 pairs of socks this year - I have made two!!! 😂
Thanks for the Musselburgh info - great news!
I love the pattern you’re doing for the packers socks! I’m gonna make a pair in Cleveland brown colors for my step dad and some chiefs colors for myself!
I really need to get a move on with Christmas knitting, i want to make some socks for my Grandma and socks take me ages 😂 Love those finished socks, would love that yarn in sweater quantity.
Love the scrappy musselburgh hat ❤
great idea to get back into projects to donate!
I love your cross bag

In the “to starch or not to starch” question, I think a light starch is always best. Diluted starch and a good press with the iron makes a soft, still flexible, but not totally floppy result.
Your October yarnable skein looks sooooooo different than mine. Mine was basically a dark gray black skein with hardly any color. I’ve already destashed it. But I’m excited to see how yours knits up!

Mine is very much the same, really dark and not much color. Sadly looks more tonal. Just shows the differences in batches I guess.
250 episodes!! Congratulations!!!
Love the hat ❤ A great way to use up scraps.
Did the Trellis Lace bookmark a couple of years ago, did not starch it, and I prefer it soft. I did block it aggressively, between that and staying in books, it stays nice and flat.
Love your podcasts!
That scrappy hat is adorable!!!
Love the socks by Momma Jess! A few days back, your very first UA-cam video popped up! Loved it!
I have been watching pretty much since you started. I am not good at leaving comments but really do love watching every week.
Congratulations on such big milestones🎉 I've been wanting to get back into donation making as well. I donated a bunch of preemie hats when my son was in the NICU and am not sure how to get back into it again. (Who I should get in touch with I mean)
