I have knit SO many socks and have never thought of alternating the 2 cast ons! I am totally doing that with my next 2x2 cuff for sure. I wonder if you would like working your socks on two 9" Chiagoo circulars? It might be a similar length as the flexiflips. :)
Congratulations on your 5000 subscribers! 🎉

Thank you!! 🥰🥰
Congratulations Rebecca! it is always so nice to hear you and see your lovely projects and how genuine you are about your learning process :) Your socks look amazing! and you are working so hard in so many intentional knits, that Esther jacket is going to be a masterpiece. xxx
The idea of alternating the cast ons for socks is so smart! Your Lakes pullover is so pretty as well. I hope you have a good trip too!

Thank you! It’s coming up quickly and there’s still quite a bit to plan haha so it will be a busy next few weeks 😅
Hii! Have you tried knitting a sock from summerleeknits? She’s is like the GOAT of sock knitting. I probably sent about 6 socks to the unfinished graveyard until I found her patterns. 😂

+1 for Summer Lee! She explains everything so well, her designs are on point and I absolutely cannot wait until the translated version of her book comes out in August!!

I haven’t! But I love her KZread videos and have learned a lot from them ☺️ Maybe I’ll try out her vanilla sock pattern next
I'm going to start my Lakes Pullover round neck next week and I'm so excited. It's my first Ozetta pattern and they all look so clean! Definitely going to check out the Saona yarn.
Congrats on 5k! 🎉 I use magic loop for my socks and I always get ladders. I've pretty much given up on trying to find a solution but I'm thinking maybe crazy trios are the solution 🤔
Would love it if you did tours of various yarn stores in toronto (or elsewhere). I love yarn store videos as well as yarn festival videos!

I love those videos too! Maybe I’ll stir up the courage to film them one day - as I love so many yarn shops in Toronto 😅
Really? I thought Saona was so so soft and squishy like alpaca hair. Btw you have the warmest look in your eyes. I bet everyone instantly feel comfortable with you when they talk to you.
I would so recommend the chiaogoo 9" sock needles. I have like 3 of them and they're my favorite way to knit socks! Also this was very informative for my upcoming trip to Toronto in July 🎉

I’ve tried 9” circulars but can’t get into a good rhythm! Maybe I just need to practice more
Way to go on your first pair of socks!

Love your podcast! Just wanted to give a heads up that Jawoll is pronounced like "ya-voll", since it's German :)

Love your podcast! Did you know that the Crazy Sock Lady has a video tutorial for her Vanilla Socks using Hiya Hiya Flyers, which are basically the same flexi type as your Addi’s. I have the Addi’s too but still trying to get used to them.
