YAY!!! HENRIETTTAAAAHHHHH!!!!

Thanks for encouraging me to knit more! The snow was amazing. I was at work when it started, but left about 30 minutes early to get home before it got bad. As it was, I saw several people wipe out. My grandsons came over to go sledding but were inadequately dressed. Luckily, I had wool socks and mittens at the ready. Maybe next year to have your 'mystery skeins' be a surprise, choose 20 skeins out of your stash and let your kiddos wrap and mark them! You may have some idea, but never know for sure until you open them. Braces - there are so many different schools of thought. Two of my kids had them and only one of them kept up with it. The youngest decided he didn't want braces, but now his dentist is encouraging it. At least it's not on my dime. I had them as a kid, but not I may need a spacer because I lost a tooth and the other teeth are moving forward. At 62 - I don't think so.

DK ALL THE WAY!! They are so good, so fast & great for gifts. My one true love 😁

Hi Lisa! Love all the socks as always!!! With your help I’ve gone to Freckled Whimsy’s Etsy shop and I think I need the monthly subscription… 😀 I live her yarn and just received “magical” color and it’s amazing!!! So glad you are free from stupid jury duty stress! Absolutely an advent for July… presents don’t count in the budget!! So nice of your hubby!!! 🤣 have a great week! 💜Steph

PS Yes to the DK Sock Train, changed my Freckled Whimsy Christmassy Yarn Club to DK to include year round gift knitting. Decided to attempt 4 Sundays of Advent gift socks for my son and his 3 kiddos (not all in DK) so I’m on board the train 🚂 for sure! I think I can, I think I can!

I told someone the other day that I plan on knitting with Christmas yarn all year so I can wear them in December! I’m knitting socks for nine people, so I’ll knit what I want lol

Hello Lisa from Swansea, Illinois. I love looking at your knitting items there are awesome! I was praying for you and my daughter she got called for federal jury duty and so far she hasn’t been called to serve.

I just got my first summons. Actually, I might have been called before but I lived overseas for 15 years🙃

Love seeing all your projects each week. I sent you a message on Rav about the holes in the corners of your heels.

Thanks for keeping me company while I finished the short rows on my test knit sweater! Yay for no dury duty 🎉🎉🎉

Good morning 🌄🌞 blessings ☕ and crocheting 🧶👋🏾

I went out to check my mail after watching this episode and it looks like you sent the Jury Duty Fairy my way 😭 At least you also gave me motivation to knit more dk socks!

Congratulations on not having Jury Duty. Thanks for sharing all of your scrappy projects.

Glad you were able to dodge the bullet! I am sure lots of folks love to do it, so there are plenty! I was able to get out of it because my ex at the time was a cop! I had some issues too with Netflix! I was watching "Call the Midwife" and had to go back to it! That show has so many women going through labor, and it is so loud I have to turn my volume down. People around here are gonna think I am dying! I could do without the labor pain sounds, and yes I do remember them well!

Love that show!

Loved those scrappy DK socks! And happy you escaped serving on jury duty!!

Get your ‘My Little Pony’ gift set in July as a Valentine’s present and don’t add it into your totals. In terms of Jury Duty - severe social anxiety as a mental condition will exempt you having to attend in the UK and it might be the same in the USA. Jinny

I bought the my little pony advent. I haven’t added it to my totals. I might wait and add it in July. But I haven’t decided yet. 😆

Hi Lisa!!! SO GLAD. U didn't have to go for jury duty!!!🎉🎉🎉 Love all ur socks!!!DK are fast and fun !especially scrappy!!! I won a skein of freckled whimsy yarn!!!in fingering ! I must cast it on !!!!! A sunny morning here but freezing cold after storms all weekend!!! Have great week!!! Elaine ❤🏠⛄

Wonderful news that you weren’t needed for Jury Duty!! 👍🏻👍🏻 I also am getting the Freckled Whimsey Christmas club, I chose fingering weight. So far I’m just in the let’s admire how beautiful it all is still in the skein, seeing yours knit up, I feel a new cast on soon! Hope you have a knitty week 🧶🧶

Good morning Michigan. OMG!!! Best part of this podcast. The first finished object sock. The heels and toes with that pinkish color way. Perfect choice Lisa. Had to back up the podcast to see it twice. You did very well on that one lady. Yes. And for that you should by more more yarn. And have your husband buy more of what he like to create as well. Congrats on the jury duty. I think they should put your name down for a recall like several years later or how ever they keep track. Braces are good Lisa. Your kiddos will thank you later on when their grown adults. And look good too. Yes. Buy more yarn. You can call it a buffer for the extra purchase. Knit all the yarn. Yes we will. Socks for me are my passion. Take care. Many blessings to you and your family. Enjoy the sunshine. Prayers for rain. Ken😮

Love your socks especially the freckled whimsy Christmas yarn❤I’m thinking about signing up for her Christmas club but really need to knit up the monthly clubs yarn I signed up last year first. Just finished me a pair of socks finally after knitting so many gift socks for Christmas. On closing the hole after the heel flap and gusset you might try watching Tips & Tricks for Sock by Roxanne Richardson. It really helped me. Have a great week!

Don't tell them no for jury duty, they will find you a ride and or put you on grand jury which is aweful

I’m 100% on the Dk sock knitting train with you and I’m having a lot of fun and falling head over heels for sock knitting now😊

Ugh. You are such a bad influence. I can only justify 1 yarn club a month and I haven’t really been using my current one. Going to switch to Freckled Whimsy Christmas club and it’s great to hear that it can be switched between dk and fingering. ❤ I like that Kay is doing them all in the same pattern. Who is Stacy? I will have to check her out too!
