Sock Challenge Part 1
2022-2023 Sock Journey
Sock Challenge Part 2
Honorable Sock Mentions
Shelters are always in need of socks and usually only get cheap basics in bulk. Imagine getting one of these beautiful pairs
Sock are my favorite and primary knit but I don’t love wearing knit socks. I don’t have the right shoes and I don’t like wearing socks at home. I make socks based on whatever yarn/pattern I’m drawn to at the time. I make them approximately my size and some end up a little short, some a little long. Then I just toss them in a box. Once the box fills up or a holiday comes I let my friends/family choose socks they love or sometimes I choose for them as gifts. That way I can knit all the socks I want to without the guilt of tons of socks I never wear in my sock drawer.
This was such a fun video. The point checkin being -50 when you forgot your own pattern made me crack up.
Fun episode! Homeless shelters always need socks, so would be a good place to donate.
I totally remember you knitting those halloween socks. You were soooo frustrated. This was fun, Natalie. Thank you for sharing.
I love all the different colors!
My great aunt taught me how to knit socks while I was visiting one summer in Vienna. That was when I was a teenager and haven’t made another pair since!
Your videos make me want to go ahead and start knitting socks again! 😊
Do it! You will not regret it
Do it. I promise with each stitch it you will treasure the memory of knitting with your great aunt.
This video was fun! If you do something like this in the future, it would be nice to have the correct name of the yarn dyer/ coloway on the screen for the ones that you didn't get right, just so we know without having to click through every link. Fun idea to make it a challenge 😀
This was so much fun! I just started knitting socks in December 2023 and I've finished 16 pairs so far. The Perfect Fit Socks course definitely helped me to customise my formula to give me my desired fit.
Spun!! That's my local yarn store - I go there every week for drop-in crafting. Such an amazing community! Hope to see you back there during your van adventure!
I love to make socks but don’t wear too many and only have a few people to gift them to. I’ve started knitting socks for Knit the Rainbow.
Loved this❤❤ Please do a shawl and sweater tour 🙃
I get friendly teasing for it, but I legitimately wear toe socks any time I do any amount of walking with shoes on. My two smallest toes on each foot get pinch blisters when in shoes because they love to cuddle up to each other and get stepped on by the other toes. The idea of toe socks was so silly, but when I kept seeing it recommended while researching pinch blister prevention I gave them a try. And the little bit of padding and separation completely fixed the issue.
My daughter is a nurse, and she swears that toe socks are the best for when she is working!
I also wear toe socks, especially at work, mainly for comfort and to prevent my toes rubbing against each other
You inspired me to pull out all the socks I have made this year so far and look at them. It made me very happy and pleased with myself that I was able to create so many unique gifts (about half will go to family members at Christmas)
Im on my 3rd pair since 2019. Im a slow knitter
I still have my first pair of socks! Although not very surprising since I just finished them last week 😉
I would consider donating any good condition socks up north in Canada (Nunavut, Yukon and so forth) there is such a basic need for warm clothing up north, for children and adult alike
Women’s shelters for sure!!
Also you can find online places that recycle textiles and could send the too worn ones that way to be recycled!
Safe travels!! It will be fun to see what adventures you get in to. Going down the sock drawer memory game was fun. I usually knit patterned or colorwork socks, so it's a bit easier to remember what I knit.
Question# I love knitting I just brought a yarn winder and a swifter. Can you please tell me how to make sure my yarn is pulling from the middle. Enjoy
That was so fun! I have the opposite problem as you, I gift more hand knit socks than I keep! Thought I would change that up this year but still knitting for gifts more because of an increasing number of family members. I celebrate my “sock knitting anniversary” 8 years in July. I do still have and wear my first completed pair Rose City Rollers in Dream in Color Smooshy with Cashmere in Deep Seaflower. I wear shorty socks most of the year.
I remember those socks from yarn hoarder with the afterthought heel because I watched the, very well done might I add, tutorial on how to knit socks with an afterthought heel when I first learned how to knit socks! Yay! Have a wonderful week everyone.
I cut the foot part off of worn socks, sew them on my sewing machine, and voila! Sock cozies.
I do not have the first pair of socks I made. I made socks for my dad because he needed socks without elastic at the top. I made him several pairs of socks and I do still have one pair. He passed 15 years ago, so I have been making socks for a while. I think I have around 20 pairs of socks and enough yarn for at least that many more. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
I'm a brand new sock knitter, but when I first started knitting I would do (and still make) washcloths! They're sort of a family tradition; my great-grandmother would do them and gift them at various holidays, and I found a pattern similar to what she would do and have taken up the tradition. To your point, though, when you knit a ton of a particular category, you start to look for ways to mix it up.
Re: recycling fabric scraps, I'm trying a place called For Days -- they sell clothing and things, but they also do a "take any linens" type of service for recycling into things like insulation for housing. You do pay $20/bag and you basically get credit to their shop in return, but if you have more super-worn pieces of fabric I think they may take them.
This was such a fun video and I really enjoyed watching! I couldn’t remember dyers or colourways to save my life so I think you did very well! Thank you Natalie x
Shelters take socks. So possibly look into women's shelters for the socks that don't have noticeable wear.
That first pair with the lavender muststash, I finished a pair of with that colorway this year! It's so pretty.
Another option for some of your more used socks would be donating them to a women’s shelter, or something of that nature!
😁🖐 Hats! I'm on my 2nd Mussleburgh hat. I've knit more hats & sweaters than anything else. I have knit a fair share of cabin socks as well. However, I now love knitting with weight 1 light fingering wool yarn and plan on writing out my favorite components of sock making that I'll easily memorize so I can just knit socks for relaxation. The best part is having something really useful once it's finished. 🥰
How fun was that!! Love sock knitting!!
When you go through Kentucky, please consider stopping by my LYS, Red Bug in Murray. Not really "mine," but it's where I knit on Wednesdays.
If you want to give away socks, I would recommend looking into homeless shelters, often times people who are unhoused are in heavy need of socks (especially in colder areas). Socks are often on top of most lists at shelters. You could also look into someplace like a nursing/retirement home where older people who have circulation issues could use some cozy socks. Also I do still have my first pair of knit socks....because I knit them like 2 weeks ago lol.
It would be fun to see a tour of your project markers…
LOL. When you said my first pair of socks in 2008!! That's the year I was born haha! That's crazy!!
Hi Natalie, I love your podcast. I would like you to consider donating your very used socks to our daughter who is a mass transit driver in Portland Oregon. In the cold rainy weather, warm gear is appropriated. Thank you for your consideration.
I still wear my first socks, even though the bottom have been darned and now felted 😮 made in 2004!
Could you give your slightly worn socks to a women's homeless shelter?❤
The pattern by Cookie A. is so fun to knit! I really enjoyed watching today, Natalie! ❤
This makes me really tempted to try knitting again just for socks. Any advice on how to get started?
I would love more socks. I can't walk and my caregiver puts sox o my feet. It sure feels great. ❤
So fun Natalie! Thank you 👏
I enjoyed this episode! Hope you do a part 2 with all the socks you missed this time
Can't wait for you to tour a shop in Maryland. Two of my favorites are Black Sheep Yarn Shop in Timonium Maryland, and Vulcan Rest Fibers in Chesapeake City Maryland.
After knitting all the socks, which pattern would recommend for someone who is starting and what kind of heel? Thank you 🙏
Hello from Mounds, Illinois.
That was so much fun!!
So pretty!😊
Would love to be able to get a pair of socks🧦🤩 In Europe but can definitely pay shipping😇
If you can unravel the socks you can send the yarn to hedgehog fibres
our local shelters often ask for socks
Not for worn socks or even handmade because they need to be new and in a package.
@@jennstns9 Well I'm sure that's for good reason.
Too fun!!!
Women's shelters are great for donating
oh, you just have to keep the first pair. I can't even remember my first pair, But wish i still had them.
My daughter works at Spun. :)
Homeless shelters if the socks are all wool
Homeless shelter!!!!!!!!!
How about donating the socks to the needy or the homeless instead of putting them in the trash.
I've never seen somewhere accept used socks
She was asking about socks too worn to give away whether there's options to recycle yarn besides throwing away. Homeless people or people in need still should not be gifted socks that arent in great condition.
H&M recycles clothing and textiles.
Nursing homes?
