I love that you knit your socks without sticking to the pattern instructions because that is exactly what I do: take the main point (be it pattern, design or some interesting thing) and do the rest of the sock the way I like. It works and I always end up happy with the results. You are the first KZreadr I have seen/heard who has articulated this, brava! (And your chosen patterns are cool: I hope you have made them!).

Thanks, Noelle!😊 So happy to have a sock rebel buddy! 😂

Hi Nicole, another tip when knitting colorwork on socks is to knit it inside out to allow to floats more area to spread out and not be to tight.

I’ll add another great easy pattern. Cabin Four’s Laulea. An all around texture pattern.

I’ve been on the same pair of socks for over a month, slow and steady

Thanks for all the great sock ideas! Love your podcast!

I only became a sock knitter last summer. I wanted to and tried for so long. Soooo, I only knit vanilla right now. I have bought two patterns. I will get to them one day.

Happy birthday to your sweet granddaughter! 🥳 Thank you, Mary!❤️

I just started making socks so thank you for not only the inspiration but the attitude! Love these patterns! there are definitely a few I'm going to make. and thank you for yarn ideas too, that really helps. I started to get a little overwhelmed when watching some of these great podcasts and seeing all the projects that people seem to get done so quickly. Plus there are so many beautiful projects coming out! I have so many patterns in my que....LOL but you put it in perspective and I'm just going to knit how I want to knit - for pleasure not pressure

Thank you for watching, Mary!❤️ I’m right there with you…it can be overwhelming to scroll through social media or watch podcasts where others knit at a much faster pace. But comparison is the thief of joy, and I want knitting to bring me joy, always!! 😊

I truly loved this episode and can totally relate 😊

You might want to knit the colorwork on a 2 1/2 needle to allow a little more stretch in th leg.

Love the sock parade. I started sock #4 about a year ago, so I need to find that and finish it. The pine socks pattern will be on my summer sock list. Thanks.😊

Another great video ... enjoyed it while knitting away on my 4 mos old granddaughter's little dress. As you were sharing your want-to-knit socks, I was looking them up on Ravelry. I found that the Intersections socks from 52 Weeks of Knitting is being offered on Ravelry as an individual pattern just in case any of your followers were interested in knitting those socks also.

I’m ready! Finished my first pair for the summer and working on my second 💃

Thanks Nicole. I liked this episode. I'm knitting Kay's Rhinebeck Roomie sock pattern right now. I hope you had a fun day with your family. I'll try some of those other patterns you suggested too.

I thoroughly enjoy your videos! Thank you for sharing the project bag video. I see Christmas gifts in the future for a couple friends. My thoughts on starting socks...I purchased a set of DPNs😵‍💫, next i purchased 9inch circulars😖, and to not give up, I purchased 32 inch circulars for magic loop🤔. I will not be deterred.

@@ThePineCottage thank you for the encouragement! at this point, I am determined to learn sock knitting.

Same mood here 😂😂😂 I’m knitting a sock and to the heel 🤔 Don’t know which…. Maybe something different. Top down club all the way. Love the Taiga sock and colors. Have you tried a round toe? I’m a 9” circ girl but bought a circular to try magic loop maybe. Cables are easy. I use a wooden toothpick buffed with a nail buffer. Haha nothing fancy and I used it on a 6 stitch double cable on a sweater. Easy supply I found in the cupboard. Going to get the Hermoine pattern out for the slip stitch heel and give it a go. Thanks for a great episode today! You inspire. Hey if you make the Taiga socks, take a look at the Alaska hat and sweater patterns. I’ve made the hat and love it!

For the daily socks patterns I also had a huge issue with them being wayyyyy too tight. I knit two pairs for my daughter (I usually use size 2 needles as well for socks because I am a tight knitter) and for the second pair I went up a whole size in the pattern and they fit better. I’m not sure if its just the stitch repeat that makes the socks sooooo tight but I can relate 😅

Oh, good to know! Maybe I’ll go up to a US 3! Thank you! 😊

I knit Intersections toe up, as I prefer a toe up construction. Suggestion, go up one size when knitting around the ankle. The cables pull the fabric in quite a bit. It fit through the foot and leg, and was tight getting the sock over my heel, So I ripped the sock back tobthe ankle, used a larger needle for about 8-10 rows and it fit. At least I didn't knit these 2 at a time. I agree about adapting a pattern to your preferred construction and the toe or heel that fits your foot the best.
