If you get your yarns lined up you can have Alexa pick a number for you. AI to the rescue 😊 I loved seeing all the Xmas yarns.

[@alliemusgrave1102]

You have the same Mrs. Claus that my mom puts out every year. I just got hit with all the feels. It’s my favorite time of the year!

[@shetlandlace]

Because I knit so many Christmas gifts, I start gift knitting in August or September. So I am in the middle of hats and socks. Possibly some mittens, and then catnip pouches for the cats in my family members lives.

[@joannamartin7917]

I’m also that gal too! Give me all the old fashioned, in your face Christmas colours! I have (at least) one of every WYS Christmas special colours. You go girl, you can knit the socks off anyone I know!!😂❤🤩🤩

[@mynorthknitcorner]

So many beautiful christmas yarns😍 I am knitting Tardis socks for christmas for my husband and our 15 and 17 yr old sons. They are big Dr. Who fans😊 Wishing you a blessed week🧶

[@Jenjursnap]

Such pretty yarns all gathered together! So excited to see all of your lovely Christmas knitting!

[@vadec5909]

I love your Mr and Mrs Claus! They are so cute. Your choices to start knitting are great, because when you finish them it will to closer to Christmas, to start the reds and greens!! The Peppermint Mocha ones I think will be great too. Your project bags are cute. The socks turned out perfect. The purple ones are great to finish and you can so quickly!! I am working on 2 different socks , a hat and a sweater. I have to pick up the sweater, but I always pick up a sock or hat.

[@lynnsteele7052]

all the fun holiday colorways, i can see why it's so hard to choose,!! im knitting Christmas socks for my hubby and my daughter has a January birthday, so i do knit her Christmas gift socks, then her birthday socks right along with the Christmas sock knitting, so hers will be after my Hubby's socks!

[@susanlarson5017]

How fun to see your Xmas yarns, project bags all together and watch you put together your first 4 project bags. I can’t wait to see the mint mocha socks. I’ll be caking the Nov Yarnable today and will bounce between that, a sweater for hubby and sweater for myself this fall. Wish my job didn’t get in the way of my knitting time!😂

[@schultzbecki20]

The cross stitch roses in your wall look exactly like a project I did for my mother. She had it framed exactly like yours. I think the original pattern was supposed to be a pillow top, but she wanted it to be in a frame. It makes me homesick to see it. My mom passed away in 2009 and i don't remember whatever happened to that picture. Thanks for the memory!

[@CrazySockLady]

❤️❤️

[@mylifeknits]

Oooo peppermint mocha sounds delish lol I'm all for the Christmas in your face as well. All of the project bags and yarns were so nice to see :))

[@amandahaydon7428]

Some people can't decide and just fill their bags. Then grab a random bag when they are ready to cast in a new knitting project. I have signature "hollyberry" colour way I am knitting Christmas socks for myself.

[@Melanie-Jay77]

Hello Kay! Thank you for spending time with me. I love all the socks!! NC is beautiful isn't it, I've lived here all my life ,right outside of Asheville.

[@janamauney8038]

I am making a pair of "Starry Night" socks using your vanilla sock pattern with dpns. I learned to knit socks from your tutorial after wanting to learn for a lifetime--literally. The month after I retired, I bought the pattern, yarn, and watched your video. I figure that with all the classes I took, yarn I bought, needles, and patterns over the last 25 years, that first pair I actually made from your tutorial cost me roughly $2437. But I still wear those socks, and I still make them, albeit I sometimes use other patterns now. I have some West Yorkshire Spinners Nutcrackers yarn for Christmas I want to start soon. I am always grateful when I start socks--and I also use 9" circular. Haven't gotten to magic loop yet, but it could happen.

[@Kraftukatt]

Lovely to see all that West Yorkshire Spinners yarn in your stash. I’m knitting your Morning Coffee Socks in their Silent Night colour way and I think I saw that in your stash too. They look so good! 😊

[@debbiedennie255]

GM Kay Thank you for sharing your days with us and all that gorgeous Christmas yarn you plan to knit 😊 Enjoy the rest of your day until next pod 💝🥰

[@davonnac2413]

This is probably my FAVORITE type of video to watch!

[@Gingerandrooo]

Doing all my Christmas socks from WYS Combo of the Christmas colorways and the woodland birds series . Love them they knit up beautifully

[@barbaramartin6837]

I loved seeing all the yarn in Christmas colors…and oh, the holiday project bags! This is a great way to transition to projects of the season.😊🎄

[@rebeccacuppett7448]

I agree about the November yarnable- the box was everything that makes me happy! The yarn is amazing, I get the contrast mini too and wow- you should check out the two together. Let's just say I'm going to need a sweater quantity of that contrast color!

[@pampepper7504]

Let your boys put a skein in a Christmas bag and then you can randomly pick a bag. That way it's a surprise what the yarn is but you get to pick the bag.

[@mommajessknits]

I pulled out my Christmas/Holiday/winter themed yarn from just one bin today and 😯 It’s taking every ounce of willpower not to cast them on!

[@lorainelockwood9359]

It's so good when you use all of the yarn! And I want all your Christmas yarn!!

[@marilynwalker3311]

I did enjoy this blog. Amazing organization of your yarn. I recognized West Yorkshire Spinners. Happy sock making.

[@robinspiker1933]

I am knitting the vanilla socks in the colorway Holiday Baking by Area51 I am really enjoying this yarn, the yarn doesn’t split like the thinner yarn I’ve used previously. The color really does remind me of cookies baking, the brown pink and speckled pink creates a fun look to the sock

[@jsabri6324]

I like to give Fall/Thanksgiving the entire month of November, so I'm still knitting up lots of Fall colored things. However, I am very excited to start December with my Yorkshire spinners Christmas yarn. I have to mention the Yarnable this month. It was just amazing; both skeins of yarn and the extras (all mine are already in use). Really, just absolutely a home run box this month. I love all your Christmas project bags, and I love that many of them have memories attached to them. Mr and Mrs Claus are maybe just a bit creepy, but I would absolutely buy them display them if I had seen them. Thank you for the video! I loved your Christmas yarn tour!

[@juliehertel21]

Beautiful yarn and bags. I tried putting yarn into a bag and just drawing a skein at random. I didn't care for that after the first. If there is one that calls to you from across the room, go for it first!

[@Wolhobby]

Hahaha, the eyes on Santa seeing Mrs. Claus knit!!!

[@CrazySockLady]

😂 He looks very shocked!

[@smut.and.stockinette]

Household manager I love that!

[@catherinetuwi6267]

Lovely seeing your Christmas yarn. I have one ball of wys Christmas yarn, but night make something small instead of socks, as I want to get the socks done that I have on the needles and all my other wips progressed a bit before casting on new socks. Happy knitting!

[@user-xh3uc3ip2z]

I like your decision, knitting should be a hobby and you have such talents . Good luck in finding a job

[@katpraeuner9794]

Love seeing your seasonal yarns. I have none. For any season. lol I also love watching you use the 9" circulars. I have a few and came to the realization that they are not comfortable for me. Rather than giving them away I decided to use two at a time, less stitches makes them easier for me to handle. I also use them for cutting in for the heel cause they are so easy to put through the stitches and don't distort them. I purchased a few 10" and 12" circulars and really that extra inch is so nice, but the 2 extra inches is perfect for me. I use these for socks and also as stitch holders for smaller projects. I just slip those round string locks on each needle end. I'm still frankensteining my ingrid slipover and knitting on my weekender crew. Still no socks on the needles.... but soon I think cause I'm missing knitting on socks.

[@brendaiwanski8217]

Oh my gosh-the antique store in Waynesville, OH. I was passing through there once & almost stopped, but didn’t. I’ve always regretted it ever since! The reason I remember it is because my son’s name is Wayne. I always associate names like that & know the store looked like such a great antique store! The Santa’s that you got are cute. I’m sure my family would think they’re creepy too! 😂 (I like them though!) 😂

[@elainewailgum2393]

I have to many on the needles lol right now I am working on a gift shawl!!! I loved this video so much, you have such a beautiful stash!!! And November yarnable is so gorgeous, I looked at the sneak peek and the pic didnt do it justice!!! The whole box is wonderful!!

[@cmb4280]

I am ready to knit ALL the Christmas socks too! I just received two Heritage Prints skeins and cannot wait to get them started! But, I need to finish other socks first. I am working on a Christmas Box of Socks and I still have a ways to go to fill it, but that means I can be inspired by yarns others use!

[@caitik]

I almost bought the Mr. Grinch sock set last Christmas and I have regretted not getting it, so I’m hoping you’ll knit it up this year so I can at least live vicariously through your project! 😅✨

[@jenngee5]

Really enjoyed your chatty podcast!! Inspired me to change out my fall basket to Christmas yarns! Even if I don’t have time to knit them all up, I love looking at them and dreaming of what they will be!!😊

[@CrazySockLady]

Yes! Same! I just love looking at them. 😍

[@ritawarren3439]

I'm doing two at a time socks 9" circulars. Using the Holly Berries colorway by Nanette Wake Studio from Etsy. BUT, I also eyed a Red Heart yarn Aran Fleck colorway in my stash and was inspired to knit Christmas ornaments. I have one ball done and intend to do mittens and sweaters❤.

[@hanapurgerova6803]

Oh wow that Christmas yarn collection 😍 I am so jealous 😅

[@MandaO23]

I love all the Christmas yarns. I can't wait until I can knit again. I fractured my wrist and cant grip and I'm going crazy not being able to knit.

[@NancyCinNC]

Another wonderful video. Love all of your Christmas yarns. I would love to have a cabinet with all of those beautiful yarns. I have total yarn envy ❤😂

[@marykaysnow8128]

once again - bought more yarn.... I need to watch your vlogs when I am knitting and Not just sitting at the computer. :)

[@jhuntsman17]

Kay afterc watching this video.. which was so fun. I gathered my Christmas yarns and made a couple of Christmas project bags.

[@tapcat4516]

Never to early for Mr & Mrs clauses .❤😂

[@alisoncaronflyingfree]

I'm stitching Fall right now. My yarn is called Gourd-Geous by Arcane Fiber Works in Canada. I'm doing the vanilla socks but with contrasting cuff, heel and toe. I don't have any actual Christmas yarn right now but I'll just pick out a different color way once I finish these.

[@stacikinman7618]

I am inspired to get out my holiday themed yarns!!

[@rosimom]

I've got that wonderful wooden bench holding g my swift too. I found it on sale at Ikea a couple of years ago and it's so handy. I haven't seen many people have it.

[@deirdreevans5533]

Ok, so I kinda wish I was your best friend right now, just so I could sit in your room and improve my sock knitting skills and chit chat with you(in person)😂 Your yarn stash is amazing 😊. Since I finished my first pair of socks, I'm excited to start another pair🤗 Mr & Mrs Claus are adorable 🥰 I put myself on a yarn diet. I'm saving up for a trip to the Dominican Republic in May, but one skein or two of sock yarn shouldn't make a difference. I need Christmas sock yarn in my life right now! I also have to invest in a couple of project bags they are so cute. Thanks for sharing with us. I really enjoyed this episode 👍🏽Have a great day !

[@JudySanza]

Lovely Christmas yarns and bags! ☕️

[@patriciarichardson7423]

Enjoyed the vlog and seeing all your Christmas yarns. I am using November to finish the mates to my fall socks. I have three advents socks coming this month so I need to clear some needles and get ready to cast on December 1. I've also received my Yarnable and I think it's my most favorite this year. I also get the coordinating skein. I'll probably be winding them up tonight.😊

[@wendyknopp1252]

So fun to see all your Christmas colors.

[@normasmith9596]

I love those Sanderson sisters socks. I am just starting on a pair of christmas socks. they bring me so much joy.

[@denisewells6856]

I so applaud your optimism!!! Knitters Creed.

[@susantobin719]

Your socks are beautiful. Trying to finish sweaters for my grandsons then on to socks.

[@LindaSimpson]

Hi Kay, I am finishing off 6 wips this month before I cast on anything else. 2 are now done and 4 left to go. Loving the socks and your seasons yarn xxx

[@lavendercottagefibrearts]

I love the idea of having a seasonal basket of yarns to be inspired by. It's coming into summer here in Australia so I am feeling like bright bold colours.

[@debrafrench3847]

Love making socks. I'm working on Christmas gift socks for a friend using West yorkshire spinners ❤

[@cindyharris8098]

Yes! To the peppermint mocha socks!

[@rachaelwalker6490]

Hello Kay, you’re such a tease keeping the November yarnable til next week. Oh and I’m Hearing you, I’m stuck on sleeve island with 2 sweaters right now but LOVE making socks instead 🧦🧦

[@bougherc]

Well, excuse me, I'll now be downstairs deciding on a skein of yarn to start myself some christmas socks

[@turtleburger]

I have a match to your porcelain mini clog. That was so cool to see! I’ve never known anyone else with one.

[@cimoirine]

I’ve been working on a pair of formal cabled socks for my husband since July 🫣

[@kendrabolejack1775]

I got my November YARNABLE on the 1st also. I get the extra 50g skein as well & my 6yo daughter has requested I make us matching socks out of the pair as a Christmas present.

[@sockermomfibers]

I'm starting some mosaic Christmas socks. Pattern is Norfolk Socks on ralvery. They have been on my list for a few years now finally found the perfect yarn for them

[@diposs937]

I love your choices, I need to go through my yarn and pick out the Christmas yarn. I started a pair of sock for my husband.

[@jackelinematschat9514]

I casted on west yorkshire spinners in robin for Christmas!

[@trishasmith1758]

I'm still working on finishing 3 pairs of socks. I am dying to finish them in order to start some sweaters, and I might try to make my first hat.

[@cathyamos2269]

Really beautiful holiday yarns!

[@amandavaliente6518]

I am working on some wips before I start knitting Christmas socks. Wips that I should have finished…2nd sock that I’m on the foot…hat where I am at the decreases… And then the Christmas sock knitting will happen!!

[@gritshelme]

Yesss, I was so hoping for a vlog of you putting together your next basket of potential yarns, thank you! And now I'm motivated to do the same, maybe today... I'm still finishing up a pair of socks knit in Dia de los Muertos colors, and then I want to dive into a couple of deep fall leaves type of colorways before the Christmas colors come out. But I also want to get moving on gift knitting so I'm not doing that at the last minute this year... gah, so much to knit and so little time!!

[@kg4824]

I think you need a bigger basket! lol. I always want to cast on everything at once! It is tough to decide!

[@candyvanbuskirk194]

I’m with you! I have 2 sweaters going but can’t seem to work on them very much. My mind goes to socks for my family. Not a lot of concentration on them…..😊

[@ritawarren3439]

Letting a number pick the next yarn won't do. Inspiration is the best! I'd hate to begrudge the number.😂

[@CrazySockLady]

Definitely do what works best for you! ❤️❤️

[@mandyhague6363]

I feel so Christmassy now after seeing all your lovely Christmas yarn. I’m inspired to get myself organised now for the Christmas season.👍😊🧶🎅🏻🎄

[@juliejealous632]

I love Santa and Mrs Claus ❤ I am making your vanilla socks with the WYS in Fairy Lights Sparkle. They are so pretty, I'm on my second sock now. Could you number all your yarn and then use a number generator to choose which one to cast on first? See you next time.

[@joycenavarro7697]

Loved this podcast, finished socks gorgeous, and Christmas yarns so yummy. I am still playing catch-up..you have just moved to , Surprise, Arizona. Saying you love it and will not be moving again😂

[@anitawessels3932]

Hi Kay did you hear me.......pick that skein yes that red and green skein....😂😂😂😂😂love picking yarn from your stash

[@kimgourley2723]

I’m trying to finish up a few things. Main thing right now is giant wool hunting socks for my hubs.

[@RosieNP73]

Good morning Kay!☕️🍩 i’m also sad about the pretty fall yarns that have to wait for another day.🧶

[@CrazySockLady]

Good Morning! ❤️

[@ericallerton809]

Good morning Kay,,,, That was fun ,,seeing all the Christmas yarns is so nice,!!! I have started 3 pairs of Christmas colorways,,,but also trying to finish off 2 at least ,,of the fall ones I started,!! I love doing socks,,,and small shawls,,,Tried Sweaters and have never finished them!! Take care,,, Elaine 😍🏡🏡 Stay cozy,,,

[@joanneyoung5410]

I love all your Christmas yarn and it made me want to see if I had any. So far five skeins and three skeins of narnia yarn (I know not Christmas but the C S Lewis festival is later this month as he was born here and it somehow makes me feel festive) I’ve just finished some socks from last years WYS Christmas yarn cast on in July so I guess my next pair will be out of this rather full bowl

[@rebeccaskirvin6236]

I have sooo much Gnome Acres yarn in my stash! I miss Amanda’s colorways and her fun and quirky personality. I can’t believe it’s been six years since she closed up shop.

[@sonyataylor2436]

The November Yarnable is wonderful, I received mine on Thursday. I love the idea of numbering the yarn and drawing it 👍🏻

[@HeyItsAmes]

Test knitting for the autumn acorn in WYS christmas stripes (candy cane)

[@user-zk9mr4hz9t]

Hi Everyone, so happy to be here, love your videos and patterns, I have been away from knitting for more than 30 years, now retired and decided to pick it up again, so happy to do so, I have never knitted socks and watched your video of vanilla socks on 9 inch circulars and that is where I am going to start, your video and instructions are fantastic and feel totally confident to do so, bought yarn to make my husband socks for Christmas.

[@patriciaboughton5501]

Socks are such fun colors!

[@knitalltheyarnpodcast5512]

I’m with you! Do not make me decide! Making decisions is awful! 😂

[@cheshirestripes8059]

I love the way you put all the holiday yarns together in a basket, functional and decorative! I just cast on my first Christmas socks off the season, and I'm so excited to start more.

[@tinalawrence7491]

I love mr and mrs claus ❤ I love Santas and reindeers

[@user-hw2ut8ic4y]

Your yarn room is such a happy place😊. I love it .

[@beverleysimmons8080]

Ho my goodness if i was there i would be overwhelmed thank you for showing us all of your gorgeous wool i might have a dream tonight seeing all that pretty wool lol enjoy from Newfoundland Canada

[@michellekitson5405]

Hi Kayla. I loved seeing all the Christmas yarn you are sorting through and also seeing all your yarn stash. It is all beautiful. The stripey socks you did for Halloween turned out lovely. Hope you are having a great weekend.

[@louiseberesford5203]

The sugar cookie yarn is just dreamy!! Love the Christmas colours, I’m all about the greens and reds too, loving the finished Halloween socks too.

[@BosomFemme]

I loved this video, Kay! I watched some with coffee and some at the gym!

[@RunWithHooksNYarn]

If you need to gift those peppermint mocha socks, I would absolutely love them😍😍😍😍😍🤣

[@stherrien3333]

Omg I am so in your face Christmas colors too!! Love your yarn and bag “collection”! This makes me so happy and puts me in the mood!! I may have to pull out all of my Christmas yarn and bags and put them in a basket! Genius idea!! Also I love these vlog style videos!! Thanks for sharing!! ❤ Sue

[@debbiet0719]

I loved seeing all of your cute holiday bags! I’m finishing up some fall knitting still, then on to Christmas!

[@jennyvonderruhr5403]

Thanks for the inspiration/ motivation! I have two half finished Halloween/ fall socks still in the needles and now I feel super jazzed to just finished them up!

[@masoksok]

Loved to see all your Christmas yarns! I sadly don't have a collection of those yet, but I was inspired to try and use all my fall.yarns so I cast on my last pair of fall.socks for the year yesterday. I can't wait to see how many of your color ways you get through this year!

[@annettemartig1754]

I've enjoyed our Saturday morning together! Just what I needed Your basket of holiday yarns are beautiful, and I love the idea of a surprise pick for every skein you knit.

[@adrianajongkind1982]

Thank you for showwing me how to knitt on 9 inch circulars, i get a kick wTching you knitt.i am slow lol

[@Cozyknitsandreads]
