Thanks for the fashion show. That was so much fun. Currently I have , wait for it, 1 pair of hand knitted socks.
Hooray! That is more than zero!
Stumbled on your channel today and really enjoyed this episode. Looking forward to watching more!
Loved the episode. I even took a nap after. That’s a lot of work. Phew.
Lol!
Love the episode and I loved that you got rid of some items. I have a hard time letting go of something I have hand made and I have now made it my goal to go through all FO's, cleaning, arranging and maybe even purging some. I am a newish sock knitter so I only have 4 pairs complete. I have my first pair I knit about 5 years ago that are huge. I stopped knitting socks after that. I picked up socks again during the lockdown and I LOVE knitting them. I have watched many videos that have really inspired me, yours included. I have finished 4 pairs since March 13th and they fit! I have another pair on needles that are close to being complete and I have the yarn ready for "Sock Week" ready to go. Thanks again for all the inspiration and lovely podcasts that brighten my day.
Thank you, Karen! Yay, I'm so glad you gave sock knitting another try and love it! Can't wait for Sock Week!
Love this! It combines two fo my favorite things...knitting and organizing! I saw that Crazy Sock Lady was watching you and had to check your channel out...so glad I did! I have been watching you since the weekend and checking out lots of your episodes and videos!
Fun, Fun, Fun! Thanks for sharing!!
I just got my first pair knitted . And I’m now working on pair three. So if you ever have beautiful socks you don’t want I’ll take them in a heart. Let’s me honest I’d love any of your beautiful knits. Your socks are so beautiful.
I enjoy watching the fashion show, you're so fun😊 and your works are aaall gorgeous❤️
Thank you so much!!!
Well, I watched to the end, but I was going to guess you had 35 pairs of socks. 😄 I have 10 pairs that I wear regularly, 9 pairs that are fall or Christmas themed, and 3 pairs that I will wear regularly once I mend them.
And my 8-yr-old daughter LOVED your fashion show!
So fun. Thanks for sharing
After I knit socks I don't wash at all before I wear. Once I wear them I throw them in my delicates hamper & wash them each week in delicates cycle with bras and specialty clothes and them put them on my sock blockers on the drying rack. Haven't lost any socks yet.
That's awesome!
I love your socks!
Thank you!
I have 7 pairs of hand knit socks. The first pair I knit is just for sentimental reasons. I had some fit issues so the two socks are not the same size! People didn’t have nearly as many clothes as we do today. My grandma had one dress for church or important events and 3 dresses for daily work. My other grandma was a teacher and owned two skirts, two blouses, a cardigan and a blazer/jacket. She mixed and matched them throughout the week and that was her entire work wardrobe. They used to laugh at how big closets were when I was growing up and no one had a walk in closet then. 😁
You are so right! We have a crazy amount of clothes now. They are cheaper and poorer quality too, lol! And we don't mend things as often. Not speaking for everyone here, but that seems to be the majority!
Knitty Natty That is true! I often think I don’t have many clothes until I really look at the entirety of my wardrobe. Yikes!
It was fun! Thank you for sharing! 💕 -lajoyagirl
What wool wash or bar is your go to
I loved this. I probably have a dozen pairs of socks and only about 4 fit decently. But I keep trying. I was surprised you didn’t block the larger items. Do you only do that the first time they’re washed?
Yes, I usually just blocked the first time and then I will later if needed. Most of my items don't need pins, just to be laid flat!
Love this fingerless mitts you’re getting rid of. For the items that are thrift store bound, how about frogging and reusing the fiber?
That's a good idea!
I have 10 pair of hand knit socks. 8 that I knit myself and 4 that my mother knit for me. But I've knit a total of 22 pair of socks so I've given 14 pair away. The pair I have on my needles now is for my sister. I live in Texas also but I still find that I wear my knit socks even in the summer.
That's awesome! Wait... you do?! How?? Lol!
@@KnittyNatty air conditioning, lol.
I guess you have 28 pairs of socks. I currently have around 12 pair of knitted socks. I do wear them every day. I don't need any more, but I do like knitting them and have trouble giving them away, because the latest knitted pair is always my favorite. 😅
Woah! Good guess!
What wash 🧼 did you use
My guess is 30 socks, but I’m pretty sure I’m wrong 🤣. I have none so far! Trying to finish a couple wips so I can start some!
Good guess! Yay!!
I do wash my socks in the washer on delicate - no spin
I wonder if my machine will let me do that. Gonna try that next time!
i love your socks i am so intimidated by the tought of making i really dislike doing the toe with kirschner stitching.
Thank you! Have you tried toe-up socks instead?
I understand natural fibers don’t need to be washed as often. I’m curious how many times you wear your socks before washing them......also what is your favorite sock blend? 💖
That's correct! I usually wear my socks around the house so they don't get a ton of wear. So I will go a couple weeks before washing them, but I alternate between a few pairs. I'd say you can wear them at least 5 times if not more! I like a 75% superwash merino and 25% nylon blend.
I only just started knitting socks this summer but I have 4 pairs of handknit socks and... 48 pairs of commercial socks oopss
Amazing!!! Haha that's a lot of socks!
I think you have about 25 pairs of socks! I have 15 at the moment.
Great guess!!
The Crazy Sock Lady recently counted over 100 socks that she had!
Haha I totally believe that!
You are so cute😍
Aww you're too kind!
Loved it!
That was so much work, but it’ll be well worth it come winter!
I would have thought you had more socks! I’m working on my 10th pair 🙀
It will! I know I feel like some have disappeared lol!
