    Can I please ask what needles do you use for making socks? Please. Loved the pod cast.

  • @pagesandpurls
    @pagesandpurlsАй бұрын

    Thank you! I use ChiaoGoo needles for my socks, the 9" circulars US1 or US2 (2.25mm or 2.5mm), and I like both the bamboo and the metal version (: Hope this helps!

  • @pagesandpurls
    @pagesandpurlsАй бұрын

    Ah I should add though that I usually also use a 32" needle for the toe, as these tiny circulars at some point become too tight when decreasing for the toe

    Great to see you again and congratulations for getting an agent and all the best on your publishing journey! I loved to hear that a character in your new book is also a knitter - there are not many in the books out there, if at all, only Miss Marple comes to my mind. While watching your podcast, I'm knitting on Reprise pullover by Natsuko Iida, a nice, simple but elegant light garment, for the "not yet summer" season. Yes for an episode on scarfs 2.0!

    Oh bird by bird is so amazing; have you heard of the artist's way? I have done it before doing Bird by Bird and it was great to deal with perfectionism and creating a routine to clear inner critic voice. Also Italian Summer Scarf was so relaxing for me as well, better than other small scarf where it's harder to keep track of rows.

    I just found your podcast tonight. And I'm glad I did. The sweater you're wearing is beautiful. I'm also into knitting Sophie scarves and am doing a shawl also. I'm reading Away by Amy Bloom and do recommend it. Atmospheric and good writing. I did read Wintering and liked it. I've begun really appreciating winter (I live in Maine) at this time of my life (semi-retired). I saw an interview with Katherine May so now I'm just starting The Electricity of Every Living Thing. I will read your novel when it's published!

    OK last note! It's absolutely not self centered to like your own work! Everyone should like the work they produce no matter if it has faults, there is improvements to be made etc. Everything is a learning experience and the joy of creating and making something you are proud of should come hand in hand with making!! I feel so disheartened when I see artists talk down their work and only point out what could be wrong with it! Glad you feel so good about what you wrote and would love to read it once its finished and in store :DD

    AHW thank you!! And I agree, I'm trying to ignore the impulse to see myself as self centred, because with all the uncertainty of creative work and especially around reception + payment of it, there are so many things outside of our control, and if we only use those parameters to make making "worth it" it becomes so... volatile? Glad to read that you feel the same way (:
