Lovely plans! Do you have enough Mondim for both projects? Or are you prioritising the socks over the hat?

I remember knitting you a pair of socks eons ago and I’m loving that you’ve become a knitter. I’m obsessed lately with knitting for olive and sari norlund patterns.

I've not tried knitting since I was a little girl but it's so fun to see you on your crafting journey!!

I’m loving the knitting content! Fellow knitter and lover of books here 🙂

Happy new year! You're doing so well with how much you're reading despite having a poorly newborn! I could never!

Good luck with the colour work! I am considering trying it out on something small, too 😊

Hello there hey there hey there

In the period where you weren't posting videos I transferred most of my youtube watching from book videos to knitting videos so it's so nice to have you back talking about both books and knitting!! Also caught the colourwork bug last year and made the Boskular jumper by Marina Skua and Ruled by Neptune by Klara Cecilia both of which I've been wearing non-stop since I finished them. For me it's actually easier to do colourwork on bigger projects than on socks so I think once you get to a jumper your floats will be perfect.

I loved this! I'm a knitter as well as a reader and I'm super happy to see you adding knitting content. But mostly I'm just very happy that you're excited about it. I'm knitting the same colorwork cuff club socks as you are right now, because I've also been bitten by the colorwork sock bug.

I've loved knitting for a long time, but I never really gave it time. I can only knit scarfs at the minute, haha, and attempting my first blanket for our second son. So, seeing your inclusion of knitting as well as reading is such perfect timing for me ^^ (I'm a long-time viewer although a silent one). I'm very much looking forward to all your knitting projects but also vlogs mixed with knitting 😊

Just got this book for a birthday gift. Can’t wait to read it!

I'm sorry to hear that there have been more hospital trips ❤❤

So nice to see you Sophie. Hi from Australia 😊❤

Happy new year to you and your family! :)

Thanks for this cozy video! Happy New Year!!

Sophie!!! Happy New Year! Butter is on my TBR. I received a beginners' knitting kit for Christmas so I will be attempting to make a scarf for the first time.😅

Hi there Hi there Hi there Hi hey hello

I loved this longer video! Such a lovely way to start the year. I would love to see more varied content as well.

So nice to see Tom! Thanks for sharing your days. 🥰

Thank you Sophie for a very nice vlog ! I really like following your knitting projects as well as your readings (in fact, I watch your video while knitting and before going back to reading again :) ). Take really good care of yourself and your family. Wishing you a happy new year !

Happy New Year to you and your family Sophie! I really enjoy your vlogs. I finished David Copperfield on new year's eve after reading it for a few months. I did love it, but didn't want to bring it into 2025!

Lovely vlog, I enjoyed the longer length. I'm also so amazed at how you knit without looking at your hands haha. Wishing you a happy New Year :)

Really enjoyed this longer vlog. Happy new year, Sophie!

Sophie thank you for uploading and taking the time out of your busy schedual! ❤ we missed you! And we would love to hear more on books about pregnancy and motherhood. I am currently 7 months pregnant and will be a 1st time mom 🥹💚

😊❤

I'm so sorry to hear about the hospital trips, I hope you're both feeling better! Really enjoyed this video, was great to catch up and see what you're working on and reading.

Lovely to see and hear how you all are Sophie. I hope everyone is feeling much better now.

Hi there Hi there Hi there Hi hey hello

Thank you for keeping me company today. I really appreciated it. I cast on a new sweater while I was watching! As usual your reading taste is so inspiring after a year of my barely reading anything. I read The Hike, which you mentioned in your samples video, I think. It was exactly what I was in the mood for. I'm curious about the books you mentioned about private schools. I'm looking forward to seeing how your sweater turns out if you feel like sharing!

This was so nice, Sophie! Thank you for sharing some of your life right now. Little Whit’s kicking legs are so sweet! It must be so fun to watch him develop. Definitely trying this cake recipe for the holidays!! Yum!

Such a cozy vlog, thank you! I hope you and your son keep feeling better. Did you say how you liked Stoneyard Devotional? I'm curious about that one.

Such a lovely calming vlog to watch 😊 so glad to see you back, hope you're doing well xx

This was a lovely blog, thank you. Brilliant idea to use stitch markers in that way! I’m sorry to hear your son has had to have operations. I hope that’s all behind him and forgotten soon.

It was lovely to see you, Sophie, thank you for such a cosy vlog ❤ Sending love!

Thank you. I just finished the audiobook and was cringing from the first minute, but I’m stubborn. It’s a complete rip off of an accomplished and nuanced story that is an obvious ploy to liberally inject pop culture references as per RPO but to the point it becomes so annoying and so over the top it’s cynicism overtakes any semblance of a story. It’s childish, pointless and so badly written it’s a miracle it was published at all.

No one understands mortality really in their teens

Good to see you back, Sophie! I've been similarly drawn to more e-book reading over the last few weeks/months, both to knit and read simultaneously and also easing strain from my hands and wrists. I'm using the Kobo Clara Colour which I have really enjoyed so far.

Love you

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who winds up with far too many samples! Also, love your openness, and am happy you're home!

I hope you start feeling better! I have only read Chlorine from this list, and it was definitely an intriguing and unique read. I really wanna read The Eyes Are the Best Part soon!

It's lovely to have content from you again, however sporadic it might be! The new colour-focused ereaders sound really interesting but I think I'll wait for them to fix all the bugs first

It’s so lovely to see a video from you. I hope both you and Whit are feeling better. Just a heads up to look at trigger warnings for Chlorine. I personally couldn’t have read it very soon after an inpatient admission. I too was interested in the new Kindle releases, but the Colorsoft has been having significant issues from reviews I’ve read. I think I’ll hold out, like you, for later generations.

Hello there hey there hey Hello hi there there

Enjoyed hearing from you and your Kindle. ❤️😀

Lovely to see you and glad you are feeling better. I have Nathan Hill and Olga T. on my vague future TBR but for different books than you, The Nix for Hill and The Books of Jacob for Olga T. Nice to see your sweet kitty as well!

Happy to see you, Sophie!! And Foster! 😊 I have too many ebooks in general but I heard on a bookish podcast once how they approached reading their tbr in terms of years,… like a current release, maybe something you wanted to read a year ago, something from 5 years ago and ten years ago. Do I do that? No but I want to make more effort in 2025.😅

Glad to see you back Sophie. You've always been one of my favourite booktubers ❤And please don't apologise for having to take a break from youtube; whatever works for you and your mental health! 😃

Lovely to see you back. Thinking of you and wishing you the best.
