The sock you were wondering what it is, it's a anklet, the type of socks I love to wear.
I call that size sock (pink and orange one) a “quarter crew”
Save the pink for a different sock! 23:43
Nice episode Natalie, beautiful blanket for Toaster! However, I’m so disappointed that you didn’t talk about your exciting move. I appreciate that you shared the news on Instagram, but I thought for sure you would tell us a little bit more about your plans here with your YouTube friends. Maybe on future episodes 🤞❤Thanks for sharing your knitting and experiences with us
Hi Natalie. Call me old fashioned, but, I like the idea of blue for the heal and toe of your striped sock. Have a great weekend and stay safe.😊
That book 6000 stitches is 45.00!!!
The blanket looks so good!!
Your thoughts on project progress is so helpful. I think the same way and did find having multiple socks going was helpful. Different sock for the various other activities!
Save the pink
Pink toe, blue heel
Awww Toaster loves his new blanket!!! 💕
Two thoughts, firstly how cute would a dress look in the pinks from Toaster's blanket in the zig zag pattern. Secondly seeing the slip stitch sock, I thought it would also be great to have a pair of socks to match Kent's hat & Toasters blanket. Mum, Dad & Toaster 🙂
Sorry for all the smoke pollution over there.
When you talk about how many inches a square makes..you never mention size of the hook you are using. Different size hooks will yield a different size square.
Love your videos! Also making a Battenberg blanket right now – have found I am using slightly more solid colour than varied colour as in the joining you use more solid colour as you go round again.
I love the way you are planning out your Battenberg blanket! When I made mine I just grabbed the next mini from a bag and went for it! My only rule was don’t put two colours the same together! I really hope you enjoy making yours x
Hi Natalie. You did a great job for Toaster's blanket. I like the new sock design you are knitting too. I hope you enjoyed your day off during the week. We all need a deserved break now and then. I can see my earlier posts that you are traveling when you move. I hope it goes well for you all. take care
#question Hi Natalie. I have found knitting to be a gateway into lots of other crafts and have dabbled in weaving and spinning. Do you ever find yourself tempted to try something new and what, if any, other crafts do you do?
The Writing Retreat by Julia Bartz is a great thriller by a female author!
#Question have you heard of the Smokey Mountain Spinnery shop? Curious about it.
FYI – You can ship books by “media mail” from the post office and it is way way cheaper than regular shipping
#question I’m not sure if you can discuss this on the podcast, but I have a question about the Fish Lips Kiss heel. In the pattern it says you should knit 1” of plain stockinette either before or after your heel. Do you do thid on sock patterns with an all over patterned leg? Just curious! Thanks for everything you do!
You could sew a satin ribbon or a thin piece of pink fabric to the inside of the strap so that is the foundation and it won’t stretch. Keep it pink and you won’t see it at all.
Beautiful blanket.
Google foundation hdc–there are ways to start your crochet projects without using a chain at all! 🙂 Also I've finally caved and am halfway through my first Musselburgh hat. Thought it was over-hyped but it's so not, this thing is amazing
Can wait until sock week.
Where can I find your other channel? I used to watch it and now I can’t find it??
Save the pink
Hi Natalie , Je vais essayer d’écrire en anglais 😂 thank’s for the vidéos , I like it . I have a question for you ; my children are comming to New-York and I would like to know where to find Wood Shops for me , I knit a lot and I would like my children brings me beautiful wool to change French wools . Thank you very much for your reply .
I am 71 years old. Knitted since age 7. I have every knitting needle and crochet hooks Chiaogoo makes and have used all of them . I would never part with any especially at your age unless I was upgrading. I don’t have other brands but I do have duplicates as I use the 2 circular method frequently. I make everything- hats, blankets, adult and baby stuff , mittens, toys, your yarn holders tote floats, scarves, shawls and you name it I have knit or crocheted it. My stash is big but not hoarder sized. I teach and give away what I can’t use yarn wise. I usually have 4-8 projects going at once. Most are original designs ( I sell some) and some are others patterns but they are rare. I do go to the beach or a park to inspire me . I sit out on my patio and enjoy my miniature horse 🐎 while I knit. I have learned to really love my passion. I also facilitate 3cancer groups one local one, 2 on Facebook. I have stage 4 breast cancer but I really maximize my loves. Never lose sight of your real goals girl. Life is too important to do things for other people’s benefits. Be true to you!
Love the new cut and color! 💇🏽♀️
I made the Battenberg blanket after watching Sandra Paul on Cherry Heart , I mixed my colours up to give it a more random look, and I love it
just an fyi but books and other media (dvds, cds, etc.) can be shipped under "media mail" through the usps and it is so much cheaper!
Toaster's blanket is just beautiful! I love all your Sock Week sock progress. I plan to work up my first sock before Sock Week. I ordered the Jellyfish Jubilee sock set. I also can't wait to follow your progress on the Battenburg Blanket. I love A Homespun House yarn. Thanks for a great episode! ❤
That Pokemon calendar is amazing ❤ takes me back to when I used to play Pokémon card tournaments, I even went to worlds and everything.
I hope I will be able to get one someday if she makes them again so I can make Pokémon socks ❤
Toaster is one lucky dog !
#question Will you be doing a video telling us about your traveling/mobile housing adventure? Showing us your van/rv and where are some of the locations that are first on your travel to do list and why?
I thoroughly enjoy your videos and get the aesthetic of “new project goes in a special bag”😂
My honey just rolls his eyes when I make a new knitting pouch or bag for a project….and you know it has to go with the season, too!!!!
You are my weekend knitting with coffee routine; thank you for such delightful and inspiring content❤
Your crochet blanket is fabulous! ❤❤❤
#Question – Ok, so my stubborn self has finally managed to learn how to knit (after 9 years and thanks in large part to your amazing tutorials!) and I was just browsing through needle sets online to get a feel for what's out there and GOSH it is so confusing! I see sets with what appear to be standard length needles (5" or so?) and then "shortie" sets with needles that are maybe 3.5 or 4" long. Beyond the obvious, what's the difference? Does it have to do with hand size or comfort for the knitter, or does it have more to do with the projects you plan to work on? I have fairly small hands and joint issues, so I tend to lean on the shorter side for crochet hooks. Would shorter needles be better for me or no? Thanks so much!
#question As I am working on the ribbing of a sleeve while enjoying the podcast, I was wondering whether you – as a fellow English style knitter – may have some tips to make it less tedious, more enjoyable and maybe even a bit faster. I tried continental knitting, but that seems not to be doing it for me. Thanks for providing me with such a nice and informative company while crafting!
Toaster is a lucky boy! That blanket is gorgeous, I don't think I could have given it up for him 😂.
I'm obsessed with Succession but it is a dark comedy/tragedy with some pretty serious social & family issues dealt with so it might not meet your desire for something "light." But it is super super good and often quite hilarious.
#Question I bought the N Mendze yarn and I want to make a longer sock like the slip stitch sock but I didn’t think there was enough yardage in the skein. Please continue with your updates on this sock so i can start by sock week. Thanks
Hey Natalie. do you have any idear where I can get my hands on the "alterknit" book online? I live in Denmark and have a hard time finding it without a too expensive shipping price.
I would suggest Platonic on Apple TV for your next light hearted silly tv watching
