    I just love you! The “I’m going to train Piper - but actually train the family” story is precious. Thanks for all your sharing and generosity. Peace, my friend.

      I was a dog trainer for 10 years and I used to always joke that I was a “people trainer” 😆 it really does make a huge difference when the whole family is on board!

    I love the Rhinebeck Roomies pattern. I think I’ll use that pattern for my next pair of socks. Recently finished a pair of morning coffee socks that came out so beautifully! You’re a very talented designer and a wonderful teacher.

    Thank you for sharing your method for working on so many projects each day and that getting to all the projects doesn't happen every day, especially weekends. So happy to find a company that has faith based work! Have gotten lovely, wonderful Advents in the past and always felt that the reason for the season wasn't a part of my making. Including a verse a day puts my heart in the right place for that day! Looking forward to Summer Sock Camp! Enjoy your family filled weekend!

    Dear Kay; Thank you for sharing all-the-things; always inspired by the projects, dyers, & makers . "Prayer Socks" are an amazing idea; your friend will be blessed by your kind & generous gift. Currently participating in a 100-day knitting challenge where I'm knitting at least 15 minutes a day; amazing to see the progress being made. Looking forward to my 4th SSC 🏕; the 90's bag will be a great gift for someone to start camp with!! Take Care and Happy Making !! Best Always ~ Lori~ 🧶🐕🤗💜

    Thank you for all your tutorials - yes, what did we do before UA-cam? I tend to be a visual learner and your 9" circular tutorial started me on my sock knitting journey about three years ago and I've been obsessed with knitting them since!

    So sweet that you’re making your friend a pair of prayer socks. I quite often spend 30 min a day on different projects-amazing how much you can get done. And the older clasps are lobster and I’m like you, prefer lever back ones.

    Thank you so much for the tutorials! I learned how to make socks this year, following your patterns and now I’m obsessed. And I love that you include links to Etsy/websites to find amazing yarns and cute project bags on your podcasts. I’ve even started to go back and watch your old videos. I live in Surprise, AZ and it was fun to find you talking about AZ. Keep up the good work. Thanks.

    So exciting to see your other crafts coming out again! I've recently picked up my sock knitting after a few months, and it's so nice to be working on them again! I'll be participating in SSC for the first time this year; I've sadly missed out from working previously but I'm determined to make it happen this time 🧶

    I am soooo excited that there's only one more month to wait for Sock Camp! Last year was my first year and I met so many awesome people. It was so much fun and I must admit, I was so disappointed when it ended. Thank you for all you do - you are an amazing inspiration to me!

    I am so excited. I’ve tried so many times to knit magic loop and today it FINALLY clicked with me. It is so much easier on my hands than the 9 inch circular. I love that project bag. I hope you will post some piper pics 😊

    We got two pandemic puppies, which was rough because they didn't get as much socialization as we would have liked. But with some extra work, they're managing to keep all paws on the floor ... most of the time.

    Kay, I, too, am a Leverback rather than a Lobster clasp gal! I find the lobster clasps too small and fiddley to attach easily. I also like that you can use Leverbacks as a BOR marker, too! I love your new completed socks! Eat the donut!! And that name for the yarn😂 Congratulations Krafty Mumma, enjoy the Alpaca yarn!!

    You can change your lobster clasps to lever back. Go to Hobby Lobby and get some lever back earring clasps. You will need two pair of jewelry pliers or you can use small needle nose pliers. And just change them out. I do that quite often.

    We re -homed an 18 month old mastiff X and when she came to us she was a terrible jumper! She could easily knock you off your feet. I took the task of training her, it was tough but she wanted to learn and I am proud to say she is almost there. Training my humans was not so easy! I have to remind them more often than Lola of "the rules" I am really looking forward to the summer sock camp, I knit socks all the time but summer sock camp is fun. I must try and figure out Ravelry so I can join in on there too!

    I love Mary Maxim! Also, I’m working through Freida McFadden’s books! Thanks for the suggestions, Kay. I read one recently called, The Last Flight by Julie Clark. It was very good and I think you may really enjoy that one as well. Now I’ve got my daughter reading Freida’s books and crocheting Bev’s turn on itself potholder! You are quite the inspiration! I also have socks on my needles and always your patterns. I know I’ve thanked you before, but again, your tutorials are the best. I love your UA-cam videos so much.

    Thanks Kay for all the wonderful tips you give every episode. I'm really enjoying making rainbow ripple blankets at the moment and surprisingly there are 4 lovely families that have just had babies. So 4 blankets were made. Also love the heel toe do is do pattern - I"m working on some socks for me using this pattern.

    You inspired me with your 30 minute increments. I also do cross stitch as well as needlepoint and knitting and crocheting. It’s hard to decide what to work on! So I started doing 30 minutes a day (when I can anyway) on some needlepoint Christmas ornaments and 30 minutes on cross stitch. And I do those in the daytime. At night is my knitting and crocheting projects
