I use macrame threads a lot and I always seal any ends wth a quick burst of flame from a lighter. I recommend practiising on an odd bit first till you get the hang of it - it can be very tempting to overdo it!

Hi, Ali. In your next episode of “Drops,” can you please tell us your favorite needles for knitting socks AND which sock pattern you recommend for an absolute sock-novice?. (If it has an accompanying video, GREAT.) I think I’m ready! Thanks, Carola on Morro Bay 🥰🌻🧶

Heel Toe Do Si Do by The Crazy Sock Lady. Great for speckled yarns. For your bracelet, try using an emery board to smooth out the scratchy part. If start with the rough side, then use the smoother side.

I’ve been off instagram for a while. All I see are ads or people who I didn’t even choose to follow. Where did all the people I used to follow go? I just started a granny wrap after seeing yours and Sarah of Yarnmugs I just had to start one too. I’m not sure if you’ve seen “it’s a wonderful life” but your Christmas sweater bags bell had me thinking a lot of angels were getting their wings. 🔔

I spent a lovely long weekend at my daughter's in Gloucestershire, celebrating my grandson's 15th birthday on the Saturday and then the Sodbury Yarnover Festival on the Sunday. That was a great festival, the first of many there I hope, over 50 vendors and very well organised, imho. Well worth adding to your calendar for next year. Great podcast as always, thanks Ali x

Loved watching and hearing what you have been working on this month Ali. Didn’t think it was all over the place at all. I laughter when you mentioned “ neighbours across the road” as I was going to ask if they had moved in and had they invited you for a grand tour. Wonder if you are all exhausted today after such birthday celebrations. See you tomorrow on your daily vlogs. X🧶🧶

Hi. Just wanted to share a pattern suggestion. Check out Shell Seeker Shawl on Ravelry by Stix Chix. My daughter, niece and I went to Chicago’s Yarncon last weekend and I saw this made up. It has wonderful drape and very clever but still easy to memorize. Mine is aqua marine with a bit of sparkle. The sample pattern example just doesn’t do it justice. Thanks for both of your channels. Love your work. Hope you try it!

I always frog colorwork using my swift to the left and Ball winder to the right or two Ball winders if you have, and frog spinning those alternately. The piece will just spin in the middle and you can easily flip it if the yarn is twisted...

You reminded me of Mary Poppins and her carpet bag when you kept pulling out all your different projects! I have now knitted my first pair of socks for myself as well as my husband so feeling confident I shall join in this year's sockalong. Maybe a fabric glue from a well know hobby / craft shop might be the answer.

Ooooh, Ali, could you possibly at some point do a new dodgy bag tutorial for a tiny sock pouch like that one you showed? Or suggest some measurements to change your boxed bottom tutorial to be smaller (I wouldn’t know how to change all the measurements on the current tutorials, maths, 🧮 just a no for me lol 😂) super excited for the dodgy bag pins!!!! 😍😍 xx

No complaints here Ali, I enjoy all of your podcasts. Incatacipated!! I love it and frequently am! One of my favourite sock patterns is Hermiones Everyday Socks. My bags don’t need a pin to tell people how imperfect they are 😂 but they’re good enough for me and each one means something. My favourite is made (modified) from a Glasgow School Of Art tote which burned down, for the second time, days after I’d visited 😢. Take care Ali. Xx

I love a sock knit. I'm knitting the Daffodil charity socks at the moment. Plus a pair of 'WYS Robin' for my husband. They were train knitting. Then thinking 'no I won't buy any more sock yarn' I went to Northern yarn when I was away with my daughter and bought WYS Rock DK and two skeins of LITLG sock yarn lol! I must make some dodgy bags as I have loads of material and fat quarters. Never enough hours in the day for all these crafts.

Hi Ali, finally getting around to catching up with some videos today. Whenever I make cord style bracelets or anything with ribbon, I use e6000 which is a jewellery glue. I put a dab on the cord just before pulling it tight on the last knot, then put another dab close to the knot, leave 24hrs and then trim off any excess cord. I'm looking forward to making bags in my new craft room once it's all organised. I do have some fabrics stored at work though which I might use to join in with the dodgy bag mal 😊

@KnitSipHappy has a new pattern and all $$ go to the Canadian Breast Cancer Research and they look great in variegated yarn. The wrap is looking lovely in those minis! Enjoyed the trip through the basket! I’m casting on the Moonlit Shawl like you made as my entry in Franny’s #springshawlathon. I was going to do the Christmas sweater with you but never got started. So kind of glad you’re starting over. 😆.

Great fan of Kay Jones, but you might want to check out Nancy Wheeler. She just published the Tittygaga sock pattern which the proceeds will go for breast cancer research. She is also sending proceeds (from this year) for the Tits Up socks which were last year’s pattern. Great patterns, you might like them. Funny, I made my comment before I watched your whole episode!
