They say “comparison is the thief of joy” and I think that is so true. Especially in the age of the Internet it can be so, so difficult. Finding a balance with influencers/media, etc can be so hard. With all the things I like to affirm by saying “this is enough” and it makes me so grateful and glad.

[@maryglancy17]

Thanks for saying what you do to remind us about comparisons and kindness not only towards others but ourselves. Happy Dance for just being blessed with the desire to make and share as much as we each are able.

[@judicrafts143]

Well said! I am always amazed by the projects you are able to complete. But my life is different from yours, and we don’t have the same priorities or responsibilities…so expecting to have the same results is comparing apples to oranges. For me personally, I have worked hard to develop the habit of finding joy in another’s accomplishments without comparing it to mine. And I’m happy to say that all that you do brings me a smile and joy!

[@CrazySockLady]

Oh I love that! It is something that I feel we have to work at to develop that habit of finding the joy and not feeling like we need to compare. It can be a struggle! ❤️

[@wendydenton9357]

A phrase I use with my students when they compare their speed to another is , 'Embrace your pace, it's not a race'. Not sure where I heard it but it makes so much sense.

[@kristinaknox7933]

I appreciate your soap box speech because my mom died in May, and I've not knit at all until tonight. I've gone so far as avoiding my favorite knitting podcasts and barely acknowledging my stacks of yarn right in my room. I decided tonight that I miss it so much and started catching up on your podcasts while making a sock for my most knit worthy friend. So thank you 💜

[@petragrund6730]

Thank you for yet another great podcast, love all your socks. Enjoy every bit of yarn, love it. Happy knitting, Petra

[@janbunnell9609]

Justified is the BEST a show…keep watching…the characters Raylan and Boyd or fabulous. The writing and the acting is superb. You won’t be disappointed. I can’t wait until it comes back and set in Detroit!

[@laurienowland8584]

I really like the sequence from light to dark on Lilly’s sweater. Dark on the cuffs and bottom won’t show the dirt as easily.

[@kathyandgeorgestephens7504]

Thank you so much for this, Kay! So very important to remind ourselves not to compare our own lives to others'. The new format for Summer Sock Camp is a terrific way to put this into practice--no deadlines, no competition, no race to finish "X number" of socks in a summer, no pressure! Love it. Thank you for being YOU, and sharing yourself and your knowledge so warmly and so generously.

[@CrazySockLady]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@laurienowland8584]

Thank you for the conversation about knitting time & speed. Sometimes I feel guilty because I knit so much but I’m retired and it’s what do for enjoyment. I’m sorry others doubt your honesty & integrity about hand knitting. Very enjoyable podcast!

[@janec9038]

You are so right about not comparing ourself to each other. We are all different and special in different ways. I am a very slow knitter and that’s just me but happy with what I get done. Just love the process of knitting! Love your podcasts so much and love everything you share! ❣️🧶

[@annstoioff4351]

Kay, you are blessed to be one of the fastest knitters I’ve ever seen. I remember years ago sitting around the table at The Salty Sheep and having to walk over and stare at you knitting bc I couldn’t believe how fast you knitted. We all have gifts and this is one of yours. I do appreciate you taking time to caution listeners on comparisons. I’m not a fast knitter-I just try to enjoy the journey. I am inspired by your sock productivity. Thanks for sharing.

[@CrazySockLady]

❤️❤️

[@amyerickson9075]

I paused your video and immediately went and bought a slap ruler! I am beyond excited! It’s exactly what I need!

[@CrazySockLady]

You will LOVE it! 🤩

[@nancyistenes7643]

Love the podcast and get inspiration from your projects and ideas. I love that you are able to finish a lot. More inspiration for us. Enjoy your journey, there is no timeline for our knitting. I love audiobooks. I listen to over 70 per year. I can listen while I do a lot of things - cleaning, cooking, laundry, getting ready in the morning, going for a walk, driving my car. I cannot do anything else that involves words. If I try, my mind mentally blocks out the book. I cannot write notes or cards, pay bills, scroll facebook, online shop, text, etc. If I do, I have to rewind my book. You might be the same.

[@Babsknits324]

Love seeing all your WIP’s - so motivational! Looking forward to seeing the progress on Lily’s sweater.

[@EveChan1804]

WISE words!!! ♥♥♥ I am glad you shared that. Society for hundred of years compare things and themselves and it can lead into such a bad mood.

[@lorraineo.7824]

You are really whipping all the socks out, love it!!!! Love the prizes particularly the cute notions ❤

[@noelleparris9451]

Great episode as usual. Especially your comments on comparisons. I have always told my students, the only person you can logically compare yourself to is yourself. Comparing yourself to others makes absolutely no sense. I like to say, comparisons are odious (when it comes to those between people). We´re all on different paths, we all come to the table with different situations, skills, and experience, so we need to accept that and gauge the work we do our own dang selves, not look at what others are doing and compare or judge. Love your socks and your spirit!

[@CryptidLuna]

I suffer from frequent hand/wrist pain, so I have to take A LOT of breaks, sometimes having to take a whole day or two off of knitting. Because of this I often feel bad that I'm not finishing my projects fast enough, or that I should be working on a project despite my hand pain. But then I stop and remember, "who cares how much you knit in a month??? focus on taking care of yourself so you can still knit when you're 80!!!"

[@angryknitter3226]

I’m really enjoying Summer Sock Camp, it’s my first year participating. I love your cross stitch! I used to cross stitch all the time when my girl’s were young. Love seeing all your projects. Thanks for all the inspiration.

[@mama_knitter]

Love the fade for Lily’s sweater! My five year old just requested a sweater and I’m thinking the Cotton Candy sweater… but I’m also currently knitting my mom a sweater too, and I always say I need to become a more selfish knitter 😂

[@mariegoodinson1744]

I love the colour fade for Lilly's sweater. I think light to dark is definitely the way to go, for a childs garment. Now I just need to source a UK version of the sock ruler. It looks so handy compared to the wooden one I have.

[@janadachingwa9234]

Beautiful socks. I just have to get in the mood of knitting socks again. Stay safe. Walk in Peace.

[@Ladeedi73]

You are so sweet..,,and you were so cute itching to start Lily’s sweater 😂😂

[@annmilleville1983]

Those are such beautiful words Kay, thank you ❤!

[@lesamatthes7811]

We are also watching Justified a little at a time. Ready to start Season 4. We like it!

[@_KarenS]

Sometimes I get a little... I think the best word would be 'jealous'... that people have so many wips at once. Then I remember that I really cannot work like that. Way back when, at a parents' conference, one of my teachers once told my parents that while my work was good, it would be better if I would work more than one project at a time. I get what they were trying to say - but it would burn me out quickly. My head gets cluttered if I have too many open projects. The feeling of 'I should be finishing that rather than finishing this' overwhelms me. I suppose it doesn't help that there are many areas of my life (now) that don't have a finite end: I'm a musician, so practise is always a thing. I'm the one that does most of the cleaning and cooking chores - and we always need food to eat, clothes to wear and a clean/tidy place to live in. So while I may envy people's ability to have 6 different knitting projects on the go, that's good for them. They can deal with that way better than me. Knitting is my 'I can complete a thing' experience which I otherwise wouldn't necessarily have in my life. ... even if it does sometimes take three or four attempts at a section before I can move on...

[@lindawhitley1772]

I'm a slow knitter with a short attention span. I do enjoy the journey. Thanks for the visit today. I love to see what you do and your ideas differences in patterns and colors.

[@lindsaymellor]

Oh my gosh I love your scrappy socks so much and that blue yarnable color 😍

[@ranellrairigh6461]

I LOVE Justified. Bought all the seasons on DVD before streaming services were a thing. 😂 Thank you for the great podcast. As a new “sock addict” your podcast is motivating, inspiring and your tutorials are life (sock) saving. I hope you’ll continue doing this for a while. 🧦

[@sallythibodeaux7992]

I’m a slow knitter mostly due to Rheumatoid arthritis and chronic pain. I would never compare myself to anyone else because I know my boundaries. I’m retired now so I have more time but not less pain. Your projects are amazing and I like your ideas to use ALL THE YARN! Happy Knitting 🧶 😊

[@CrazySockLady]

Hugs!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@thekindles1183]

I have psoriatic arthritis and it sometimes holds me back in what I hope to do. I get it. I wish you pain free days. All the best!

[@sallythibodeaux7992]

@@thekindles1183 Thanks!

[@heathertucker7056]

Always marvel at the knitting you manage to produce in a week but you are right and we should never compare with others! I am now retired so manage to get more done than I used to! Love your socks and it’s very satisfying to use up all the yarn! I’m enjoying sock camp and nearly have another pair to add! Take care x

[@lisareeder4525]

You will love Justfied. It is a very addictive show. I'm really going to try using up all the yarn. It's a great idea.

[@heidiclarke2333]

Definitely a good idea to measure Lily, 8 can be when girls start to shoot up! The pink is great.

[@monicalarose7980]

Really appreciate you speaking in such a healthy way about the temptation to go down the envy/comparison rabbit hole. It leads to nowhere but emptiness! Sometimes it just takes someone like you saying, Stop. No comparison is helpful, ever - to help us snap out of it! I definitely have had to learn this and am happy to say I've really grown in this area - learning that I can just celebrate the beautiful things that others create without feeling like I *have* to pressure myself to make as much and knit all the things in order to feel that joy. I can fully celebrate my own makes be they many or few and be just as thrilled by others' beautiful makes when I let go of that pressure. Not that this is always easy, but man it's freeing the more it's embraced!

[@melaniewake7838]

I love your comments about not comparing yourself to others. I often fall into the comparison trap when I see others sharing. It's about the journey and learning new things

[@arizonacolbys]

I LOVE that Three By the Sea pink gradient set! That will be an awesome cardi! We loved Justified! Lots of great characters. We're also re-watching it from the beginning since it's coming back in some capacity in July :)

[@Blaize24]

Congrats to the winners!!!!! Sock camp has been really fun so far. I love the triple socks! The colors are gorgeous. I am always impressed by how much knitting you are able to do, but totally agree that we are all at different places in our lives and comparing ourselves to others is a waste of energy. You said it really well.

[@karlamilton5281]

I am so thankful of your teachings. I learned Continental Knitting, 9” circular knitting, ChiaGoo needles and ….drumroll…. how to knit socks. I am so grateful. I have always wanted to learn but did not like double pointed. When I found out I could use circulars a whole new world of knitting opened up for me. I adore hand knitted socks and have worn nothing else since 💕🧦

[@jackielaskowski4010]

I can't even believe that people would make negative comments about your project completion totals or the speed at which you knit. What does it say about someone with that kind of envy (hate??) in their heart. I hope you don't take that crap to heart! Delete those comments and block them if you can. Geeze! I find it inspirational. I have picked up SO many good tips and learnings from you, Kay. One of my favorite take aways is the notion of "30 minutes of knitting" concept. Before, I was like - if I can't knit for a long time, why bother? But now -- game changer - little by little (sometimes I only have 10 mins) I get more done and feel good about even smaller accomplishments. (BTW - your hair looks fabulous!) Peace, my friend... 😊

[@sarahhelmandollar8271]

Your sister and niece must be very knit-worthy! You seem to make them quite a few pairs of socks. And a fingering weight sweater! You're such a nice aunt! I'm finally getting started with Summer Sock Camp because my kids are bugging me for new socks 🤪 I was on a dishcloth knitting binge when camp started, but I'm ready to move on to socks now. I need to get that sock ruler! Twice Sheared Sheep is local to me, so I can justify the purchase because I would be supporting a small, local business 😁

[@TheRachSunshine]

Beautiful yarn 20:19 def start with light colour for the fade, I faded a tee dark to light and my husband thought I’d got caught in the rain lol x😊

Sending support, love, and kindness from Lexington, Michigan, USA

[@thecraftychemist]

I don't normally knit socks - but I'm super tempted by the grannies-in-a-row socks - they combine crochet and knitting!

[@donnawelch3548]

Awesome socks and yarn. Can't wait to see Lily's sweater come to life - wow that pink fade!!!! Sorry that you are getting negative comments on your accomplishments. Some people are just never happy for anyone else. Thank you for sharing. Take Care.

[@deannafink1297]

I love Audible. I would not take the time to read otherwise. I love to listen when I am in the car by myself.

[@fokesingh3500]

Hi Kay, just saying hi! Since you generously and consistently share your time with us here, I just wanted to let you know you make me smile every time there is a new podcast. I really love the positive quotes you share on Insta. By times it was just what I needed. Thank you, warm hug.

[@CrazySockLady]

Oh my goodness, thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️

[@sandrastonecipher6008]

Oh my gosh…love the gift socks..just beautiful! I’m on a use it up kick too and thank you for your kind words…still can’t believe how some people behave…ridiculous!! I’m inspired by you not jealous!!! Thanks, Kay

[@carolg5770]

Oh my gosh the colors in the Scrappy Stripey socks are glorious! I'm a sucker for that combo. I really have to knit myself another pair of those--and some for my daughter too. I've definitely got the scraps-yikes! Such a cute tuck-in-your-bag sock ruler too. Lilly is a lucky little lady to have an auntie that loves to knit for her-that sweater is going to be beautiful. SO glad to hear someone else reads at bedtime. I do every night...it's a routine now. I look forward to my nightly reading time. Whispers in the Wind is one of my favorite patterns of yours-I knit a pair last year and love them. I used to feel bad about not being able to keep up with others as far as knitting...no more! I do what I can and what makes me happy-no pressure, just knit all the things.

[@alexahoyt1690]

Another nice visit with your Kay. I am currently writing in my first pair of Whispers in the Wind socks. It's a fun pattern!

[@purlmonster]

Thank you for the company this morning, Kay! I gotta ask one thing that's totally not yarn related, but have you ever talked about your Jeep Easter egg? Like, what it is? I only recently learned that Jeeps have an animal on their car somewhere, so it made me think of you, and I'm finally getting around to watching the episode

[@joanmachado9063]

Great podcast as always 🧶☕️😊

[@maureenm6679]

I am glad you reminded us to not compare. It was a good reminder for me especially when I see all the finished objects. Congratulations to the winners.

[@letyhernandez9318]

TOTALLY enjoyed your podcast today. Staying busy knitting away on my Summer sock 🧦 CAMP SOCKS. ❤😊

[@karenmallory282]

I really like the colors of sweater. I still have the second sweater of the 3 to finish. Right now I am crocheting a baby blanket. Then a memory turtle game. Then I have to sew my granddaughter 2 outfits. Try to get one lap quilt done by Christmas time. My foot surgery put me way behind. I think I should be able to sew some. As I have started driving some

[@blombvi]

Using up yarn! That is my goal also. Especially since I want to purchase the Sock Bag from the Woolly Thistle. 😊

[@tammydecker6381]

I don't compare, sometimes I am lucky to get two rows done on my project, sometimes I get a whole project done. Enjoy the process, whatever that may be for you!

[@noreenlou]

Lovely watching today

[@pamelahavey8341]

Love both of those books!

[@debradillon9011]

I really love your channel and get inspired with every single video. Being a morning person and valuing my quiet time, I find I'm more focused and productive when I spend time Knitting at the beginning of my day. Sometimes for hours! How do you fit your knitting projects into your daily schedule? I'm not a fast knitter and it takes me quite a while to finish a pair of socks. It seems that I have only one built-in knitting speed!

[@SarahKKnits13]

I always get excited to see a new video from you!

[@CrazySockLady]

Thank you!!! ❤️❤️

[@LDSVenus]

your gift socks using leftovers are really pretty! I wouldn’t worry about what people say, who should know better, about how fast anyone knits. There are things that cause us to knit fast or slow, ie: knitting style, experience and honestly none of that matters. the only thing that matters is that we enjoy the process or finished object ;). Hope your eye exam was fine.

[@CrazySockLady]

Well said!! ❤️ All was good at the eye Dr! ❤️

[@michellekitson5405]

Hi Kay. I so agree you can't compare to anyone else. We are all different and have different things going on in our lives and have different expertise with our crafts. It is such a joy to watch your podcasts I am following one of your tutorials on how to knit socks on magic loop. This is my first time knitting socks and I am up to the heel turn. Your tutorial is so clear with directions even though I knit a bit different as I do the throw over with my yarn to knit a stitch where as you do continental knitting. It still works out the same I have tried continental knitting and just can't hold the yarn to get the right tension even though I am a crocheter and have been for many years. I love that you are using all your yarn want to use it all to knit socks. They are all looking lovely. I love the yarn you are going to use for Lily's cardigan and I think you should start with the darkest one first and continue with the other gradients but it is up to you. I so look forward to watching your podcasts. Thank you.

[@ericallerton809]

Yes it is always hard not to compare yourself to others. It is well worth the time and effort to work on the habit to not compare. Everyones life is very different from everyone elses. Thank you for sharing 💜

Beautiful socks! I am not signed up for sock camp ,but I am knitting socks right along with you😊. I just received my sock ruler set and looking forward to learn how to use them😊.

[@rhondacary7548]

Oh my!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE those socks! I think that yarn is gorgeous and definitely deserves to be used all up :) Specially since it is bringing you such joy :) I am loving knitting all the socks this year for summer sock camp. I haven't done it really since probably the first year - just life in the way ;) I keep starting new socks every couple of days though, lol. This is going to end up problematic :D I may have ordered more needles....but we don't have to talk about that, lol :D I am looking for a floral colorwork sock pattern though for my moonglow paradise sock set. I am dyeing to cast it on but just can't figure out the pattern I want to use.

[@MarinaGvozdeva]

Hi Kay, love how you’ve made three pairs of socks from one beautiful gradient set ❤

[@vadec5909]

Hi Kay!! The striped socks turned out so pretty!! The yarn for Lily’s sweater is awesome!! I love the shades of pink!! Hope all is well with the eye doc!

[@CrazySockLady]

All was well! Thank you! ❤️

[@wendywelch5567]

I absolutely love the scrappy socks and that you are using up all of the yarn to make several pairs. They're truly beautiful!

[@jeanburby6492]

Thank you Kay for the thoughts on comparing! It is a very difficult thing. I am thankful for the time I can knit. I am doing some charity knitting so my socks are not coming as fast but I will just keep on moving forward. Have a great week!

[@clairenason4869]

It is always nice to see all the knitting progress that you have. It makes me want to try new knitting things with different sock patterns.

[@mommajessknits]

You could make Lily some fade socks with the leftovers from her sweater. Best friend visits always go by so quickly.

[@carolinedubose5136]

Love the yarn for Lily's sweater!!

[@karenroy8733]

Maybe there’s a Walmart your sister could buy a measuring tape at where she’s at for vacation?

[@DillyDahlia]

I’m not a big scrappy project person, so I like to use up all the yarn whenever possible also! I wish there was such a thing as 75 or 80 g skeins for socks as I usually knit shorter or shortie socks and end up with a lot left over.

[@CraftingwithShuttermonkey]

I am so surprised that anyone would ask for proof of how you knit your socks. I would love to knit as fast as you do! I am a slow knitter, but I enjoy the process and the finished product so I don't even try techniques that could me speed up. I love that quote that I can see below 'comparison is the thief of joy'.

[@josiejocreates]

I love your beautiful matching socks! That’s so fun! 🤩

[@lavendercottagefibrearts]

I love the scrappy socks and I think doing a matching set of 2 pairs is a great idea to have one for you and one for a gift for a friend. I might make a matching set of scrappy socks for me and my sister or me and my mum.

[@BonnieBrown426]

Great talk on comparing… so true! I absolutely love those 3 pairs of socks … I really need to do some scrappy strippy socks!

[@stephanienorris364]

Justified is awesome. Give it a couple more episodes.

[@mborckusa]

OMG! When you said USE ALL THE YARN, I was like Kay is my sista from another Mother! I just cast on stripey socks using the yarn from the first four pair because I want to USE ALL of the sock camp yarns!

[@CrazySockLady]

It’s just so much fun!

[@MidwestStitches]

Oh my I love love loved justified!!!!

[@FirnMamaMakes]

❤❤❤

[@nicolehamilton3483]

There must be something in the air because I’m in the “use up all the yarn mode” too. 😂

[@cherylsmakes]

My goodness Kay, I loved your advice about not comparing ourselves to others. Early on in my knitting journey, I was around people that treated our projects as competitions…it got so discouraging that I actually packed all of my knitting away for a year I was just so burned out. Luckily when I went back to it I had a new mindset and was determined not to let that happen again. I had to rewind and listen a second time that you actually said you have had someone request PROOF of YOUR knitting?!?! Lol I had to take a minute to wrap my head around that one. My goodness that is just crazy to me. But thanks for the advice, I hope that if anyone that might be feeling that way realizes sooner than I did that it’s not worth it, knit on and do what makes you happy!! Love the projects too btw and thanks for a great episode!

[@CrazySockLady]

Yes!! Oh I’m so glad you are back to knitting and feeling better about it. I get discouraged when it feels like a competition too!

[@dianegardner2443]

Love love all the socks!! You are such an inspiration, following your vanilla sock pattern really helped me get my 1st pair done and they fit 😊

[@CrazySockLady]

Oh I’m so happy to hear that it helped and that they fit! ❤️❤️

[@evawiebe7677]

I really enjoy your podcasts and I also joined in the Summer Camp . Im not sure I’m doing things the way your rules go. I’ve finished one pair using up leftovers and still had some yarn left , so now I’m working on Magic Socks from a Magic Ball that I’ve joined with a magic knot.

[@barbaramcrae8425]

The socks are really cool...I must try to do multi colors cause they're so interesting. Adore the yarn for Lily's sweater..they will be gorgeous in the pattern you chose. Working on 2 second socks for camp.

[@knitty781]

Congratulations to all the winners!! Enjoy your prize from SSC and CSL. Thank you for the low-key MAL! I've been busy as a bee knitting up WIPs and getting items off my needles. My doctor and physical therapist ask me every time I go in what I'm working on now. I went to the Twice Sheered Sheep web page and ordered some sock rulers. I don't have any yet, but need at least one, so I'll order two.

[@CrazySockLady]

I hope you love the sock rulers! ❤️

[@nataliejaggi387]

Thanks for the video Kay 😊 it was a bit of a stressful day but your vid distracted me for a while❤❤

I’m so happy that I could be a bit of a distraction for you! I hope that you have a restful evening and tomorrow is less stressful. ❤️

[@janetjroberson2581]

Hello from St.Louis Missouri!

[@catherinetuwi6267]

I think I only get frustrated with my pace because I'm a starter, not a finisher and want to cast on ALL the projects but don't knit fast enough to finish big things before I want to cast on more. It isn't a comparison thing for me.

[@vanessalumbra9409]

I stopped comparing my knitting skill, speed, etc, many, many years ago. Since I retired 2 years ago, I finally decided that the rest of my years will consist of all things that bring me joy. I've never been happier! And, do you have a link for those cute scales you showed? They look so handy and the perfect size. Thank you. I've joined your sock camp KAL. Hoping I can get at least one pair in the FO group. Wish me luck. My 1st KAL ever.
