I hope that you wisdom surgery went as smoothly as possible and you’re well on the road to recovery by the time that you read this. It sounds like you have so many exciting plans between now and the end of the year Leavenworth sounds like a beautiful place to visit and particularly magical at this time of year.

I’m 39 and one of my wisdom teeth just finally decided to come out and immediately got a cavity! So I am going to get them all out in January. I’ve never been put under so please let me know if your removal goes smoothly so I can stop stressing out!

This is the perfect time of year to get your wisdom teeth out! Soup season!!

I never got wisdom teeth, however, both my sons did. Neither of them had any problems. My younger son got his out the day before thanksgiving when he was a teenager. We decided to postpone the “feast” so he could enjoy all the goodies. We postponed it two days! That Saturday he was eating solid foods without any difficulties. Good luck

I JUST Cast on my long sleeve color tip tee hoping I have enough yarn for the sleeves because I can't not play yarn chicken

You should get a sock ruler! I was having the same trouble (luckily my boyfriend can wear the too long ones and my mom can wear the too short ones), now as long as I use the sock ruler the socks I try to make for myself actually fit my feet 😎

I had a good experience with my wisdom teeth, just don't jump into hard foods too early! Mashed potatoes will be your best friend 😂 I did grow a 5th wisdom tooth that I had to have removed in college. Love Leavenworth! I lived in Everett for 4 years and did a bunch of white water rafting on the Wenatchee River. I highly recommend The Stein for lunch and a drink. Have a great time!

I just finished a doppio as well! Mine grew *so* much in length that my gauge shrunk. I might go back and make adjustments to the body, but I’m very happy with my sleeve adjustments to make them roomier (same as you and Maya!). I’m planning my second one already. I had my wisdom teeth removed very early (opposite problem, I was an early bird for all my teeth!). I was 13-14, and had them all removed at once. I was so excited to eat ice cream and drink smoothies for a week, that I planned out different flavour combos I wanted to try for both. It gave me something to look forward to! I hope all goes well 🤗

Loving your Tesselated colors

I had two separate surgeries at 16 to get my wisdom teeth out and both went fine. There was a tiny problem with one but the doctor resolved it quickly and painlessly. Like, I wouldn't do it again for fun, but it was very much a non-event. I don't know Essie colors, but there's a whole wide world of indie polishes that I love. Favorites include KBShimmer, Cuticula, and Polished For Days. There's a monthly thing called Polish Pick-up that lets you preorder from a bunch of brands if you want to get a bunch of different stuff in one shipment.

I literally almost adopted a dog after I got my wisdom teeth out because I loved it so dearly, but other than that it was a breeze! Apple sauce was life saving though!

My husband still has his wisdom teeth at 29. It's been about 10 years since I had mine out, but I had all 4 done at once and remember recovery being pretty smooth. I feel like I was eating pretty normal food after about 2 or 3 days, albeit gently. I ate mac and cheese on day 1. I would definitely recommend taking some kind of painkiller before the anesthesia wears off fully

Dental hygienist here! Just want to say: listen to all of the after care instructions and follow them to a T and you should be totally fine! :) Your surgeon does this all day every day and will do a great job!!

I had no issues getting my wisdom teeth out! Went to sleep. Woke up and hugged all the nurses and said I loved them. Was a bit swollen after but was surprisingly smooth. I just went to Leavenworth for Octoberfest. Wish I’d waited till holiday time.

I’m 38 now but I got my wisdom teeth taken out a couple of years ago and I still have two baby molars, lol. I too am a late bloomer. Luckily, I had no problems with my wisdom teeth ever and getting them all removed at once was a total breeze! The experience was made easier by telling myself to relax and I got to watch shows on Netflix while the oral surgeon did their thing. It took me 3 days for the tenderness/soreness to subside and by a week out, I was feeling fine. All in all, a 10 out 10 experience. Also, your hand spun is gorgeous! I’m inspired to practice my spinning more. Nail polish tips are always appreciated! :)

For your wisdom teeth: even if you feel fine the first day try to talk/move your jaw as little as possible! I felt great when I got home and talked so much I ended up in intense jaw pain for the next 4-5 days😬

So glad you got a wonderful self-care weekend with friends after the horrible week here in the US. Thank you for sharing the nail polish tips. Good luck with your wisdom teeth! I got mine out in my early 20s and it was fine! I was braced for it to be awful but it turned out to be no big deal at all. You’re gonna make it though!

I used to be an Essie girl. When I got back in the habit years later I became a Mooncat girl. IDK why I tend to stick with one brand, probably because I like when all the bottles are the same. For quick dry top coat I like INM out the door. I have a large refill bottle of the plain, and then regular sized bottles of their northern lights gold and silver, which have some gold or silver holo glitter. I don't recall much issue with getting my wisdom teeth out. I do recall that I used to bring chicken star noodle sipping soups to school for lunch while I was healing and I would have to clean the little stars out of my divots after. Actually, I think I had to clean food out of the divots for a long time.

So so glad the nail polish comments helped!! your nails look lovely! :) I really like the duochromes that Essie has -- one that I keep going back to is a purple/blue/gray blend. And good luck with your wisdom teeth! I got my first 3 wisdom teeth out in early college, which went fine, but they didn't take the last one out until this past year and it started coming in, and I'm in my very late twenties. It all went well! It was the quickest procedure -- in and out in 20 minutes, and the healing went all right as well. Fingers crossed for you it goes the same!

I love all your projects! I am knitting on the traveller with handspun right now. Mine is pretty inconsistent but it works itself out. Don't worry about it too much! The structure really helps even things out :) And I really like the combo spin idea for the traveller shawl.

I love that sweater! Looks so comfortable. Do you also knit angora rabbit hair sweaters? Great video!

a couple warnings/what NOT to do with wisdom tooth removal: do NOT take the pain meds on an empty stomach don’t expect you’ll be able to use a normal spoon (to eat apple sauce or spoon a smoothie) - maybe a baby spoon would work lol popsicles would be good if you can be sure you don’t do any sort of sucking motions! try to stay ahead of your pain med schedule, you def don’t want to get behind but in my experience the pain was 1000% manageable with just OTC tylenol/ibuprofen. best of luck!!

I've been working on a Sweetshop Blanket for about a year now! It sits beside my bed in a cute basket and I work on it before bed if I feel like it. I fully accept that it's going to take me like 2 more years to finish but I'm okay with that! I think it's a great way to deal with the blanket-induced anxiety of such a huge project! I highly recommend you try it!!

It's called bloodshot because when you don't get a lot of sleep and your eyes are a little red. It's not gross.

I made both the Land of Sweets blanket and the Northeasterly. I love both of them but I made the Northeasterly in strips then crocheted them together so it was a super portable project.

I got mine out when I was 18. I was put under anesthesia and had the easiest healing process. I was barely swollen the first two days and then had some swelling the third day. Very minimal pain that ibuprofen took care of! I slept slightly elevated which helped and ate lots of mashed potatoes and applesauce and yogurt! I could manage Mac n cheese and just took very small bites with my front teeth. I’d say best advice is just follow the rules your doctor gives you and rest

I had mine pulled when I was like 19 or 20 I think. I had 1 impacted and 2 easy pulls. I was told impacted ones typically have a 1 week recovery time of not eating solid food. So I stocked up on liquid food that was high protein so I didn't loose weight. I had my follow up 4 days after surgery because I was going out of town. He said I could go back to solid foods and I probably could have after 2 days. I bought a bag of chips on my way home from my appointment!

I had my wisdom teeth removed in my early 20s and I’m glad I got it done. I only had three! Weird. One tip is to make sure you take the prescription pain meds (if they prescribe you any) BEFORE the anesthesia wears out since it takes a bit for the med to kick in. I hope it goes well!

I use the sock ruler, making a permanent mark for your foot size.

I loved hearing about the nail polish tips! I always appreciate when podcasters have nice nails since they’re always holding yarn and projects up to the camera :) Also when I got my wisdom teeth out they told me the recovery time was going to much worse than it actually felt so that was super nice, I had all four of them out with no problems! Wishing you luck but you probably won’t need it :)

I'm 34 and still have my wisdom teeth and my oral surgeon said that the older you are the less likely you are to have complications during healing so I'm crossing my fingers for that

Hi Emily!! So nice to see you at Sacred Sheep!! You should knit from Knitted Moomin Socks book if you like socks knitting, especially if you’re a snowboarder or skier! Make sure that you’re completely numbed as you should just feel the pressure. I would care more about the healing process afterwards to avoid infections so only soft jelly or warm bone broth. Lots of sorbet. Make sure your lips stay moist and don’t get addicted to the pain killers, avoid anything strong, ibuprofen works to reduce pain and inflammation if you’re not allergic to it.

I had mine out at age 28, easy peasy. I took one Tylenol 3 afterwards and that’s all I needed. No swelling, no nerve issues.

After having a few mixed results in sock lengths myself (especially if I followed a pattern), I now use my foot length in inches, reduce to 90% for the negative ease factor, and go from there. Whether I use by row gauge math or measure as I go, the sock fit has been a lot better when I do that. Maybe that can help with your fit. Always enjoy the project updates!

One time I recorded a LONG presentation for work and on the last slide I realized I was muted the entire time 😐 I get it 🤣

This is such a cute episode. I’m old enough to be your mom and just had the opportunity to have my friend from HS come to stay with me for a week from my country of origin to go with me to Rhinebeck. We are opposite personalities but similar in many ways. Friendship is something so beautiful and hope yours last for ever. I do have a question about your DRK sweaters, I bought the pattern a long time ago and have not been able to knit it yet. I’m curious about what you did differently because I will love my sweater collar to look like your friend does she have her notes on Revelry?

If Maya starts a pod it should definitely be called "My Friend Maya"

Yay for maya too ❤❤❤ adore you both.. thanks for sharing

a “my friend maya” cameo I needed this! really hope we get to picnic and knit again one day 🧡 I love your friendship and this video made me smile! 😊

This was such a cute video! The story of how you met reminds me so much of how I met my spouse :-)

Congrats on the new job! I work as a Product Manager and I cannot live without a good scrum master! 💕

I loved this! Putting in a vote for a separate video cataloging all of your buddy knits (if you ever feel like sharing). Thanks for sharing, ladies!

LOL y'all okay, I picked a random number and the point was KNIT FAST🤣As the official referee, I will indeed allow 2x or 3x or 4x speed, whatever you would like your superpower speed to be. I cannot leave a project unfinished but it also is a SLOG so I would pick weaving in ends myself. I MISS YOU TWO it was so fun to watch this! 🧡🧶

Omg I have handspun for a traveler hoodie too! Maybe I’ll start knitting mine when you two start yours for some extra motivation on mine.

So nice to get to know you both and your friendship a little better 💖

Monet Lilies vibes on that spun yarn! ❤ (love it!)

Loved this! Your friend Maya 100% needs to come back again. Your friendship is so cool, really beautiful to find a friend in your adult years that you click with in that way. <3 Cannot wait to see your Christmas Socks! Also, knit at 2x speed, I don't get to knit as much as I would like, so if it was a bit faster that'd be awesome. lol

This was such a fun and cozy video to watch 🥰❤️

Such a cute duo! I need a follow-up video featuring your matching knits 💛

I was just at La Mercerie!
