I love her designs! I've never actually knit them up, but I own this new book and several of her single patterns. I'm inspired by her Instagram feed with those amazing boxes full of hand knit socks. Looking forward to actually knitting them up instead of just collecting the patterns.
I am knitting the Coffee Break socks right now for a friend. I will gift them with a cute mug.
I ordered this book after seeing it in fruity knitting. It will hopefully arrive this week so I can knit a few up for Christmas 2023.
Socks are the best knitting!
Thanks for showing the sock book.
This was a wonderful book review, Marce! Thankyou so very much for taking the time to do this. I would not have looked at it as I have still not knit socks, but now I will get a copy when its available in the UK. It is absolutely beautiful and I really love the idea of colourwork socks now! As always - a joy to catch up with you and I really really love the new branding! X Ros X
I really love this designer and congratulations on the release of the book! Lavender socks are one of my favorites.
Just ordered this book ❤ Thank you for this review.
thanks for introducing me to a fun sock designer.
You did a great job introducing Charlotte's sock pattern book. After you flipped through the pages I was definitely sold and bought the book before your podcast ended! I enjoyed your chat with Charlotte as well. I knit lots of socks which are all mostly gifted so this will be a much loved book with many new magical patterns. Thanks so much for sharing.
Thank you for sharing Marce! I just ordered the book. The chili pepper and coffee socks are my favorite. I currently have three pairs of socks on the needles. 🤗
Thanks, Marce! This book looks interesting❤️
Thanks Marce! I love colorwork and plan to get the book.
I just got this book. I can’t wait to start knitting up colorwork socks. I haven’t done colorwork before so I’m pretty excited to learn a new skill.
I ordered this book too, it was love at first sight for me 😍, hope it comes soon ! Thank you for your review Marce ! Congratulations for Charlotte with this beautiful book!
What a beautiful sock book. Thanks for sharing it here. I, too, am attracted to those lavender socks among others!
I just purchased the book and so this video was wonderful 🩷Thank you😊
Thank you... that was a great overview of this book. It's always nice to hear what content there is - especially for those of us who have to order online because we don't have a bookstore or LYS near us.
I would love this book just to make Mug Mat Motif.
Beautiful review 😉
Thanks for reviewing this book! I am nearly done with the first of a pair of the Coffee Break pattern, using some yarn from my stash. Main color uses two held together...a lace weight and a very light fingering. They work really well together, and I love that they've found their use at last! I really enjoy the Brown Berry podcasts. I always feel inspired and befriended when I watch!
Thank you so much for this! I must confess I don’t know this designer but that will change when I get my hands on this beautiful book! Right up my street without a doubt! X
Plant magic 😊
Definitely going to be ordering a copy of Charlotte’s book.
Thank you, Ms. BrownBerry for making me aware of this new book on the market. After your podcast I ordered it on-line, got it by mail and I'm loving it. Great review, thank you.
I’ve been knitting vanilla socks all summer, ready for Christmas presents! I was on my penultimate pair when I got rushed into hospital with a gut perforation. This is my 7th week in hospital and I am now well enough to knit so I am working on these socks again! I have only ever knit vanilla socks with Opal yarn and I feel I really ought to try some colour work socks - especially after such a great review of this lovely book! It was inspiring to hear your view of the book and to hear from the designer too. Thank you 😊🙏
That looks like a very nice book.
Thank you for introducing me to someone new. Always love spending time with you!❤
I love that I can introduce you to more Fiber Folks! Thanks for coming by 🤎
I am about to finish my first pair of socks and I am looking forward to making more and trying out color work! Thank you for your detailed and in-depth review. I find your voice very soothing and relaxing too. Just ordered the book! ❤
I'm so glad you could enjoy the episode. Congrats on your first socks!!
Wonderful review and thoughtful interview from the designer. Book is ordered !! Thank you.
Henrietta, I hope you love it! The only issue might be choosing a project to start with as they’re all so delightful!
🙋🏽♀️Hey there and Happy New Year! One of your long time quiet sub’s here🤭. This was and AAAAAAAAWESOME book review and I wanted to take the time to “thank you for sharing” this with me. I will be purchasing the e-book on Amazon tonight, what a fun time I’m going to have. I hope you are well, thank you for having a safe space for all kinds of people especially introverts🫣hehe, I appreciate you and thank you for your authentic & candid chats over the years….it is grately needed especially in the fiber community xoxo🌷
It's such a joy to know that you can feel comfortable coming to my little corner of the internet, and thank you so much for this kind feedback.
Oh, this is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for this! I always wanted to do color work but was truly intimidated. You and Charlotte made it sound so doable and enjoyed your kind voices talking abut your experiences. I will definitely buy this book. PS: your channel and podcast are a happy place for me.
You’re so welcome, and your comment completely warms my heart. Thank you.
I have the book but haven’t knit from it yet. I was intrigued by the whimsical patterns and love having colourwork motifs to use in my knits. I hope to make the tulip socks for my friend who is Dutch and chicken socks for my friend who raises chickens. Thanks for the review. Now I better get knitting.
Those will be such great gifts (and a gift to you in the knitting I hope!)
I came across the book on Instagram and decided it was time to knit my first pair of socks. I just started on a pair of "Autumn mice" from the book.
Thank you for sharing this review, I knit socks but have never tried colorwork and this has inspired me. x
Wonderful, Sue! Go for it!
I just saw this book on another podcast, it is SO amazing! The coffee cups!!! I need to get a copy, for sure!!
Keep me posted if you go for it. You’ve seen my favorites, so I’m set through the winter for stitching lol
This was a nice review. I appreciated hearing from the author/designer. Thank you, Marce. ❤
You’re so welcome 🤎
Like I need more Pattern Ideas !! Thanks for a peek into the book! Love the Egg/Chicken socks! I’ve never knit colorwork socks, but I might have to get this book & try a pair or two or seven!! Thanks!!
LOL. You’re welcome!
Great review. Love that you included the designer/author. Hope you decide to do more videos like this.
I really enjoyed it, and I especially loved hearing Charlotte‘s perspective along with my own impressions, which seemed to match in many areas. Thanks for the feedback!
I don't have it yet but it looks like something I really need and will use. Thank you.
Thanks for joining us!
This is a lovely review of her book. I enjoy how you've set it up and would love to see more reviews as well.
I've done a tiny bit of colour work on 1 pair of socks. It didn't go well but do like the concept as I love colour work knitting.
Right now I'm working on some vanilla Kroy socks, toe up, two at a time on 2 circular needles (my favourite method). I only had enough for the foot so I'm doing the leg in a different yarn, solid colour. Because it's been so long since my last socks I had to do a review of turning the heel/gusset! Completely forgot but all is fine now! HUgs
Hi Brenda! Love when you visit with me. I love the Kroy yarn as you may know, so I totally understand going toe up and using it all up. If you go for some colorwork, let me know.
Thank you for reviewing this book, I've had my eye on it. I'm knitting one of Charlotte's sock designs at the moment. Although I'm used to doing colour-work sweaters, it doesn't look as nice in my socks...I guess I'd better just keep trying 😊.
Hi there! I had a similar experience when I first tried a pair of colorwork socks, and I realized that I really had to adjust my needle size up a good bit from my normal sock needles. That just gave all the stitches some more space and allowed the more dense fabric to fit better.
What a charming book and lovely review! Loved hearing the designer speak of her patterns ❤
Hi, friend! Thinking of you while I work my current handspun pair.
@@heyBrownBerry 🥰💞
Hope all is well. Thank you for sharing. I’m learning color work this winter. I’m interested in making all the colorful things. 😂 I bought a book on color work but I may have to grab this one as well
Love that you’re exploring it!
How could I resist the book, I'm hoping the sizes are for me. I knit 56st for myself and 72 for my husband. Thanks for this video.
You’re welcome! Many patterns include both 56 and 72 stitch socks. You can try different needle sizes to get just the right fit on those stitch counts, too. Happy knitting!
Thanks for sharing this book! I rarely buy knitting books, but this one is a definite for me. I recently done my 1st colourwork project & am very excited to try some of these fun designs & practice my skills 😀
Hooray! I know you’ll have some excellent wool and color choices! What did you start up with as your first colorwork project?
@@heyBrownBerry I did a hat, actually 2 of the Norn Rune Spread hat by Curio Stitches. Knit in rustic Irish yarns, so will be super warm if we get snow this year. 🌨☃️❄️
Lovely book I will look for it! I’m still knitting on the addictive socks that Christie Archer of Christie Archer Designs. It has no heel and fits just beautifully but I do want to try a pattern with a heel soon!!! 🧶🧦
I’m intrigued. Will have to go look for those!
Hello from Mounds Illinois. I just bought that book. I have never knit color work socks yet.
I hope you’ll be totally inspired by the patterns and helpful information!
Hey there! Thank you for that review, I need those coffee socks, my son’s girlfriend needs the chili pepper socks and my neighbor need the egg/chicken socks. Guess what I’m getting myself for early Christmas present! 🧦❤️🧶📘
Yeaaaa!! 👏🏾
Does she have toe up patterns and DK or worsted wt sock patterns?
I hit the "buy now" button on Charlotte's book right after I saw Denise's Ig post about its release. I've not done colorwork socks yet, and I'm looking forward to the Lavender Flowers sock as my first project. I have some John Arbon Exmoor sock yarn that will be perfect for that design. But I have so many future socks with yarn and pattern in my "knit me" sock box that I don't know when the colorwork socks will get to be first in line! (harping)Janet
I’m actually at a similar place with a queue, because Denise had the nerve to go and make her gorgeous colorway that I really want on the needles, so my to be knit list is stacking up. I don’t mind twinning with you in this way though, Janet 😆
@@heyBrownBerry It's a nice problem to have! All these intriguing sock patterns and all this beautiful yarn to knit them with! Happy to twin with you any day.
Please share name of your flexible circular needles. What 3 circular needles sizes should I buy. I enjoy your tutorials tremendously. First time sock maker 🤷🏼♀️thank you bunches💐
I hope you and your family are doing okay. I hope you're safe from Hurricane Ian.
All good here, gratefully
