@@wheelhouseknits I took a 3 year hiatus because I stalled on 2 pair. In May I finished 3 pair including the 2 UFOs. I have cast on another 3 pairs now... LOL! I am now hoping to finish 12 pair by the end of the year.
I love that, Statsh Enhancement 😅

Thanks for tuning in and for the book recommendation. I just added it to my Goodreads. It looks like one I’d throughly enjoy 😊 I will be reading it for sure!
I find your colorway in the Big Smoke Socks looks like eyeglasses. They are so cool. I might have to make a pair of those.

You should! It’s such a fun pattern 😊
I just read Emily Henry’s latest book (Funny Story) and it’s a perfect beach/summer porch read!
❤ Love all your makes - from Podcast #1 right through! Really enjoyed all the acquisitions a lot. I am reading The Rose Code by Kate Quinn. All the bet, Joyce

Thank you Joyce!! ❤ ohh that’s such a great book. I hope you enjoy it. I love Kate Quinn books.
Your socks all look beautiful 😍. I am doing my first ever Summer Sock Camp and am thoroughly enjoying it. Either later today, or tomorrow, I am going to cast on a crochet shawl in a blue and sage green speckled white yarn. The crochet blanket you are doing is very pretty. I do not, however, trust a magic knot ball, but unlike you, I find weaving in ends to be quite therapeutic!! Jinny - UK

I wish I was more confident in crochet to be able to make a shawl! Maybe someday. Summer sock camp is a ton of fun and I hope you enjoy it 😊 I’m very hesitant on the magic knot … I’ve never had success before and would never do it without the liquid stitch I don’t think.
So nice to see you🧶 so many beautiful socks and love all the yarn and bags🥰

Hi Chrystal!!! ❤ so happy to have run into you the other night. I loved the show so much! Looking forward to some knit time tonight with everyone 😊
As always I enjoyed everything about the podcast! The socks are all amazing and I need to make the Lake Ontario Socks! Such a beautiful design. I just finished This Summer Will Be Different by Carley Fortune and I think it was a cute fluffy summer read with some spice. I did not care for her last book at all but this one was much better. You might want to try that one. 😃 Love hearing what you are reading because I’m always looking for suggestions too.

Ohhh thank you for telling me you enjoyed This Summer Will Be Different! I actually purchased that one already but was waiting to hear reviews on it because I felt the same way about her last book. Off to read it! It’s located in PEI too so super close which I love.
Loved seeing all your gorgeous socks Heather!!!

I love watching your videos you are such an inspiration. I have a question. I thought I saw in one of your videos you were knitting a pair of socks in National Pencil Day yarn by Area 51. Do you know how much yarn you used. ❤. I am looking forward to your next video.
Can you give me a link to the crochet corner to corner afghan, please? It’s not on Ravelry. Great socks edition!
Love all the socks! Could you please tell me what brand of nine inch circular needles you prefer? Thank you. Kathleen from wisconsin
