I enjoy your channel and look forward to seeing what you’re up to every morning. My grandma thought me how to crochet when I was just eight years old. Now at 68 in a few weeks I look at all the joy it has brought me and those I share my makes with. Thank you for sharing. Merry Christmas and blessings to you and yours. 🎄
Awe, these are really kind words. Tonight my daughter picked up knitting needles for the first time in probably close to 20 years. I was so proud. The granddaughter wanted in in the action and is casting on. She set down the crochet hook to join in with us.
The mystery yarn is Lion Brand Sock Ease! The grey is color Rock Candy and yellow is Lemon Drop. I love it (feels nice and the socks last forever) but sadly it is discontinued.
I love those fiery cable socks. Wow. Cant understand why no one wants it. Maybe it just the others you made are even prettier so they dont pick those. They look perfect for you though.
Socks are fantastic. I usually have everything wrapped Thanksgiving week, but I haven't wrapped one single thing however, all my children's items are all in two boxes for each person... Granddaughter well she got more than two 🤣 her brother is too little to know the difference. My other grandson in LA had several boxes too but these have been on California since November
Girl, you crack me up 😅. Love your videos makes me smile every time. I just finished a second crocheted hat now working on third today ❤crocheted but new pattern reading and learned 😊😊😊😊
That’s impressive, are these also Christmas gifts during crunch time? All my actual gifts are done and now that the ends are woven in they are ready to gift.
I am about to head into the heel of my husband's sock (I am a one at a time person). He has a high instep and I think I was told to do the short row heel. I have the Jawoll for a contrast color, which comes with the reinforcement thread. I LOVE the orange cabled sock, colors and all. You did a beautiful job!
Congratulations on turning the heal, you are an exciting point of the sock. I think this new year I may do more fun, pattern, color, texture type socks. You know add the umph to it
@@anotheryarn I did a golf club "sock" in colorwork, but it was too tight. Thankfully it was for a golf club. I worry about socks, because I tend to pull hard. Some people have said to try knitting it inside out. I may try that. You increase stitches for colorwork?
Wow beautiful socks. I love the look of hand knit socks. They are definately a labor of love. You find lots of beautiful sock yarn. I found the dpn's a bit awkward to work with but that probably gets better with practice. I ordered a set of addi flips to see if those work better. I got 2.75mm. Some yarns call for that size and some call for 2.5mm. Does that .25mm make that much of a difference? I wouldn't think so but I have only made the one pair with worsted yarn and size 5 needles so not an expert sock maker for sure. Too funny that you wrapped up the curling iron. Do your pups try to "help" you wrap? My kitties love to "help" wrap.
I’m sure nobody will notice that slight size difference at all. No, the dogs thankfully don’t try to help wrapping the presents thankfully. My daughter said the curling iron was the funniest gift.
I'm sitting here working on the alien hat (again, don't ask🤦♀️) and listening to your video for today. After it was over, this video auto played. I thought, "I remember this one, it had sock knitting tips." So I'm listening to it again while crocheting and heard something... "Wait, did she just quickly throw out my name?" Backed up & played it again. "Yep!" Then I questioned, "Me Michelle? I wear a 3.5 - 4 & she knows it. IT'S ME, IT'S ME!" 😂 Idk how I missed that the first time I watched it.
Fab job on the socks! I’ve yet to learn! Been wanting to forever and have known how to knit the basics for decades! I’m trying to find the video tutorial that will make sense to me. Any suggestions?
Hello Shannon I am loving your channel and question for you are you planning to do the challenge with socky nana Alice and my pink bathtub knits Diane sock a long for the year of 2025?❤🎉

You can say that you finished 8 projects! You got all those socks we did they’re completed!
It was a marathon of ends but it is done! I’m so happy that all of these are finally 100% done, complete, ready to gift 🎁🥰
You just amaze me with your socks. The yarn is beautiful 😍
I’m so thrilled to have these finally 💯 complete and ready to gift. That took way longer then I expected.
Love the curling iron"gift"
It’s already wrapped 🥰
The mystery yarn is Lion Brand Sock Ease! The grey is color Rock Candy and yellow is Lemon Drop. I love it (feels nice and the socks last forever) but sadly it is discontinued.
It really is a lovely yarn! Thank you for letting me know.
Hi Shannon, Gorgeous socks and yarns! 🧶🫂
It really was a marathon of ends but it is done! So happy that all of these are finally 100% done.
🎉 Awesome socks🎉
I’m so thrilled to have all those ends off my plate. I had no idea it was going to take so long weaving them in.
Love all those socks. I hope to get at least 2 pairs done next year. I'm aiming low. hahahahahaha
Two pairs is a great goal to set! That’s not aiming low 🥰
I'm also setting a goal of 2 for next year. I'm going to give myself wiggle room by not throughout in the word "pair". So for me, I'm making 2 😂
@ Good loophole, I like it. Socks aren’t hard but they aren’t instant gratification either.
Beautiful socks! 😍
I’m so thrilled to have these all done! 🥰. Waiting on weaving in the ends was a poor decision on my part. So happy they are ready to be gifted now.
😊hi Shannon, countdown has begun
It sure has, we are almost there.
Beautiful socks!
I'm so glad to finally have them done!
I love those fiery cable socks. Wow. Cant understand why no one wants it. Maybe it just the others you made are even prettier so they dont pick those.
They look perfect for you though.
Hubby said the same thing regarding the socks. The kids know they will be available next year unless another family member grabs them.
Socks are fantastic. I usually have everything wrapped Thanksgiving week, but I haven't wrapped one single thing however, all my children's items are all in two boxes for each person... Granddaughter well she got more than two 🤣 her brother is too little to know the difference. My other grandson in LA had several boxes too but these have been on California since November
When they aren’t in front of each other you can do different amounts. We are blessed, everyone will be together
Those socks would fit me 🤣🤣🤣🤣 just sayin'... I'm kidding though. All of your socks are so beautiful and the yarn from the Advent calendar is gorgeous!
It’s been a wonderful year of making things and learning a few new tricks along the way.

@ yes I’ll be doing three total and one for myself by Christmas evening
@ very nice, you are almost there 🥰

@@anotheryarn I like both color and texture. Sadly, most of the time, a person cannot do both. Still, I try. 😁 Any ideas on what you'll do?
@ I’m going to do some color work socks this year. I’ll try some mosaic and I’d like to do some stranded work too.

I’m not sure on the tutorials. I think The Thrifty Knitters Sock on Ravelry links to some good sources.
Wow Cantalope!
It really is a lovely color, unexpected and lovely

Help me out here, I don’t think I’m following the creators you are talking about. Sounds interesting
Ok, I found both channels and subscribed. I think I just might try to join in. Sounds like fun.
