Love the update and of course - favorite is the sock dance - great pattern and showing them off!❤ I can’t wait to see Dino.
Wonderful as always Martyn, number 7 wip please and I'm for the blue sock. You do deserve a rest for sure! Finished object dances yay! x
#6
Pink socks please
Consider finishing your Flax sweater and adding it to the raffle pool. Sounds like it would fit someone in my family.
Love the sock dance
spats are shoe covers that fancy up or make warmer a pair of plain shoes. the strap underneath is elastic to hold it snug to the shoe. I have always loved the look of them.
The sock dance was great made me laugh ! Thank you !
Make the pink socks !
Loving the pink socks, i keep saying i want to try knitting my first pair of socks. I total agree about frogging your jumper if its not what you want then dont spend any more time on it. Love the idea of destashing the yarn i'm sure someone would love it. Lets see WIP number 1 next video. Love your videos as always Martyn ❤
Pink I think. Belated happy birthday to Mark. Strangely watching this from premier Inn on Cardiff Bay!! Back to England tomorrow morning.
So sweet the rabbitbag ❤
Good morning from Massachusetts!! Love socks !
Let's dance definitely 😂 . With Marks pink socks you could follow Roxanne Richardson's advice for high insteps to give him more depth to get it on, say 20 to 22 reps of the slip stitch heel, so 20 to 22 gusset pick ups. You may then have to fiddle with your stitch count because of the pattern. Basically you measure from the mid of your outside heel to floor to find your required heel flap length. It was a game changer for fit for me x
I vote wip 3. Yay Gregor the dino😊. Glad you all had a nice weekend away. I would do pink socks. Have a great week Martyn!
You have truly perfected the sock dance! Can’t wait to see the dinosaur.
A dinosaur dance too?
@@knit365blog Yes, please!
blue sock, number 4. Love the sock dance. x
You are such a good Uncle! That lime green T Rex is going to be perfect! He's going to love it. The toft rams are so cute! Your shawl is looking good. Hurray on the socks being finished! I'm knitting the Flax Light sweater, in Madelinetosh in the color Esoteric. I love the fact I don't have to do short rows in this sweater! Love your videos and always look forward to seeing what you and Mark are doing. Love the sock dance!
The list gets even shorter because unless they have hard deadlines for say gifting or testing, blankets and socks don't count as WIPs (I have been told and totally am on board with). Blankets are long-term projects and socks are just givens. 😎. Agree or not, but in case that relieves any anxiety...I usually look at the projects on Ravelry when doing dk socks to see how much others used for larger sizes. If using two fingering weights held double, they can come out at a lighter than dk weight than using a dk yarn and may use more than 100g for a pair. That may also be why you needed larger needles to meet gauge. You could always do the toes a different color if that works in the end? Or marl? I'm still on the MKAL train...hoping to arrive by this October 😂
Love the finished socks! They are probably too thick for me, but maybe some winter….
Love the sock dances! I love that you have all the WIPs it makes me feel better about mine 😂. My choice are the pink socks and no 2 ❤
Pink socks definitely and wip#1. Thanks for another interesting episode, Noah will love his dinasaur I’m sure.
I am back, love the sock dance.
"Dances with Finished Objects" - even more entertaining than "Dances with Wolves!" I think that 10 WIPs is remarkable - well done. I would love to see the pink socks again. Thank you for another great show Martyn xx
Happy Birthday, Mark
I am team pink socks. ❤❤
LOVE the sock dance! 🤣🥰
💙🩵💙🩵💜🩵💙🩵💙
Thanks Martyn-- love the longer WiP roundup !!! It’s never to long!!! Thanks again for sharing!!!!
Great sock dance Martyn! Please don’t frog your Flax! Someone will be able to finish and wear it! My vote is to finish project number 3.
I confess I had to skip right to the sock dance at the end, so cute!
I vote for 3! And pink socks 😁 I just finished off one of my two current WIPs while watching this episode so now I'm down to one project! I have a little pile of new yarn waiting for me for a crochet project though, so hopefully I can cast that on soon 😊 Lovely episode, great to see what you're up to and really nice to see your WIPs!
I'd like to see more progress on Mark's argyle. Beyond that anything for the children as stuff for children always needs to be done asap as not only do they grow quick they change quickly too. Get things to them while the subject is hot.
Love all the Toft stuff as always.
Enjoyed the fun finish to the video. I'm giving the cable socks a miss, not being keen on cables on the foot. That pattern doesn't seem to be one that would look as good with just cabling on the leg. However, Spiral Splash socks are on the list.
It doesn't seem like you will have enough yarn for your blue socks, I would use the different lot for the toes of both socks. Pink socks for Mark first, he is still waiting for his sweater !!! I loved your sock dance. 💝
I vote for the pink socks. And Noah’s dinosaur. And the woman who makes history doll. Good luck and enjoy🧶
Hi am a new comer really enjoying your it. Pink socks number 5. Love the sock dance
Love love loved your blog today you I always look forward to your vids
Love the cross stitch kit but I can't cross stitch I can embroider hand stitch, slow stitch but cross stitch becomes ANGRY STITCH with me
Love dinosaurs my daughter was obcessed with Dinosaurs as a little kid, love Gregor, you'd better make him now cos kids go off things so quickly xxx
No 4 love the sock dance
Pink socks!!! Can't wait to see the fade😁
Love to see wip no. 4
Love the sock dance 😂. For project to work on, choose what you really want to work on, what makes you happy. Happy knitting, Petra
Thank you so much that little sexy sock dance made my day . I do miss the monthly round up but do love the weekly meeting. I do vote for pink since Mark as been a great sport at waiting for his jumper.
Pink socks! Number 3 🎉 I loved the sock dance hahaha the end made me laugh. The spiral sock I knit are way too big, but lovely and warm. Thank you for this wonderful episode ❤
I would work on the blue socks so you could finish a sock and I think you should finish your MKAL. And then put the socks away for a bit and work on Mark’s jumper. Christmas will be here before you know it.
Don’t give up on doing 2 MKAL kits though. This fall was unique (I hope) in having to redo section 1 three times. You would have been able to finish section 1 for both otherwise. And maybe section 2 as well.
I’m in pink socks camp. Funny, I usually don’t gravitate toward pink, but Gemma’s colors are gorgeous! Wishing Mark a belated happy birthday. Have a great week, and I am looking forward to the next episode. Cheers!
Pink, please. And I would love to see no. 1. Thanks, Martyn, this was fun. And everything of the best to Marc.
Great, especially the sock dance….
Another amazing sock dance! Thank you! Pink socks have my vote.
Number 5 ❤
I vote for th pink socks
Blue sock- pink sock. Whichever is more fun. Both too beautiful.
Hi Martyn, loving the sock dance.
Before I forget. No. 5.
You have been busy crafting. Finally managing to do a bit of knitting, but crocheting causes a bit too much pain.
I'm almost finished with a pair of socks and I'm thinking my next project will be the Frisson wrap from Expression Fibres.
I'm presuming you know they do a Friday feeble of a couple of patterns. One knit and one crochet.
Belated birthday greetings to Mark. York is a lovely city to visit. Does Mark not drive or do you prefer to drive.
Have a great week and have fun with the dinosaur and sheep. Definitely a menagerie. Take care xxJane 🐑🌼
Expression Fiber Arts offer the most beautiful yarns, don’t they? Always exceptional (I’ve bought yarn for at least 5 projects from Expressions)!
Great sock dance! I vote pink socks for Mark, I'd like to see WIP no. 2 please (have no idea what it is bit I like the element of surprise! Love Gregor the 🦖 🐲 🦕, fab fun podcast as per usual Martyn, thanks so much for all the good stuff you put into every one. Looking forward to seeing you at Wonderwool at the end of April x
Knit Mark's pink socks cause I don't think the vest will be done in 2024😊
Love both the socks but I think you should do the pink ones for mark it was his birthday recently and he's been so patient about his vest. Show us number 1 on the list
I say pink socks!
Lucky number 7! And pink socks since you just finished a blue pair. I love your pride fundraiser idea, too!
I vote pink socks! 🩷
Pink socks, I’m worried they won’t fit. Love all your content, so interesting whichever Wip you choose.
As a cross stitcher, always split the threads and put back together, keep your crosses all the same way and centre the Aida and start in the middle.
I am so excited to watch you start your cross-stitch journey. Cross stitching is my first love. Aida is one of many types of fabrics used. Love all of your socks! That's what I mostly knit. Pure vanilla, but I hope to become more brave and start a patterned sock soon. Seeing your dolls also makes me want to learn to crochet. I need more hours in the day! ❤ Love your podcast. Xoxo susie
Love the sock dances! I would finish the blue socks first, that way I would know if I need anymore yarn. Would like to see project no 1 please
Happy Cross Stitching! Love the crab sampler. So cute. #5
Loved the socks and the lovely sock dance!! Bravo!!!
Haven’t finished the video yet, but I vote for finishing Mark’s pink socks.
Edit after finishing: your nephew and his dinosaur obsession are too cute. He's very lucky to have you as an uncle!
Pink socks please. Number 1 WIP please xxx
Do the blue socks first!!! 💙
Congratulations in finishing the spiral socks. They are fantastic and appear to fit PERFECTLY! So far as which WIP you share: my preference is for whichever projects are bringing you joy - because it's always fun to see how excited you get about certain projects. On that topic - I too am excited about the Dino. I hope he loves it. Oh and congrats on no new wool except for the green for the specific project. Enjoy your week. I'm spending it pulling weeds and starting the garden.
Wouldn’t it be fun to do a zoom thing with folks doing their spinning. We could all show off while sharing techniques and different roving and its sources. It could also include sources for spinning devices as well as pros and cons. Just a fun idea.
Great video, as always!! Socks? Must be the pink ones - looking forward to seeing the fade! Id like to see wip no. 5 please!
Continue with the finished objects dances- so much fun!!! ☺️
Martyn!!! Always a good day -- Monday or Tuesday -- when you have a new update posted. 🥰
Yes, continue the monthly posts, please.
Remarkable Creatures by Tracy Chevalier is historical fiction based on the life of Mary Anning if you are inclined to learn a bit more. I loved it.
Really like the geogradient 😮sock dance - wheeeeee
You did say that Mark’s jumper was going to get done for sure… nice to see your Geogradient. (I always use stitch markers every 20 stitches or so to avoid missing stitches.) Before you know it, October will be here and MKAL 2024 will be here. And Easter is over so you missed the CAL. Didn’t you?
I always enjoy seeing you and Mark and the making.🧶💜🇦🇺Western Australia 🇦🇺
Let's see.... Pink socks and how about #4?
I love the sock dance. So much giggling. Get those blue socks done because it will be fast. Then you can go on to the pink. I would love to see Mark's vest.
Would love to see WIP #5.
Adored your sock dance! You really showed off the socks with your terrific choreography!💜🧶
Right in middle, kinda, number 3!
Hello from Denmark 😁👋
If I remember your previous WIP list correctly, please work on your Project #1 !!! 😊
I love the Mary Anning doll , Ammonite with Kate Winslet is a film about her life . Thank you for another great sock dance. Perhaps raffle the jumper (as is)you are going to frog towards your fund raiser, great opportunity for either a nearly complete jumper for someone or a bundle of yarn
Hi Martyn, great sock dance! I vote for the blue socks. Happy crafting! Happy Knitting 🧶!😊
I think you should work on the pink socks first you just had new socks Mark needs new socks as he hasn't got a new jumper yet 😂 i would like to see WIP 3
I have 5 wips, a long term scrappy blanket and a spinning project im really trying to keep below 6 wips and it encourages me to finish things so i get to start something new
Happy birthday Mark🧶💜🥳🎂🎁🎈🎉🇦🇺from Western Australia 🇦🇺.
I like the pink socks. Good luck with the dinousaur and the sheep. Belated happy birthday to Mark
Weekly is best❤
Congratulations Martyn! The socks are beautiful but I really enjoyed the sock dance the most!! Number 3 WIP please. I vote to finish the pink socks so Mark can see if they will fit (however the blue socks are probably quicker). Really great episode, as always, I do look forward to each one, love the weekly and I did miss the monthly wrap ups so thank you for working on bringing us up to date. Now the most important question…..is the dinosaur finished?? 😉🤣
All finished and stuffed, just need to sew him up tonight when I get home from work! Loved and speedy and relaxing he was!
@@knit365blog Do dinosaurs do finished dances? (I think they should!!)
Could we see the pink socks please and WIP number four 😊
I do love the monthly round up too. You know you can never not do a sock dance ever again, just way too entertaining. So Mark's vest.......
Don’t frog the Flax Sweater-- it sounds like it could be finished by someone else-- what size is it? I just keep thinking of all that work you’ve put into it!!!!
I don't know how you do it! 10 WIPS!!? I get so much anxiety of having 2.
Don’t frog it in case someone your old size wants to finish it. If not, they can frog it.
😅WIP #1
I have one WIP. I dont begin another till that 1st one is finished. Please 🙏 bring Mark's jumper to the current active. It's a year since you started it?
Pink socks … poor Mark still doesn’t have his sweater, he should at least get socks. 😂
I want to see project number 1. re your mkal section 3.i also struggled so on the second side I just did the slipped stitches on the right side , let me know if you need to see a picture.
I would like to see Mark’s jumper, Noah’s Dino and your Geogradient. Not sure what WIP # they are. Not a sock person.
