Episode 197 / So many things I want to make... not enough time! 😂

[@radhikam2401]

I have become hooked on EPP now. My Christmas list looks as follows - a coaster for him, a coaster for her, coaster for puppy, coaster for baby 😂😂

[@PoppinsPlans]

Hello Happy Wednesday!, Love the scrapy socks you've done. Great idea to split the yarn beforehand and put them in separate bags. Great time saver. So cute matching mother and daughter socks for your sister and niece. Can't wait to hear more about the Grandma Garden quilt top next week. Would love to be entered into the draw for the project bag and sock yarn. Keep smiling. 😊

[@juliabaart7004]

Please don't let fall start yet! I'm not done with my summer projects yet... I know... time stops for no one. Happy crafting!

[@Tinacrafts2]

Oh Kay…can’t wait to see your quilt kit! 😮 I kinda figured you’d be hooked on your little hexagons enough to make a quilt. The kit will be SO much easier than having to cut a ton of hexagons yourself.

[@kristinak1510]

Summer seems to go faster every year, but I'm ready for cooler days and spooky season

[@leekasten3549]

Wow….. you are a busy lady ! I know, where did this summer go? The fall yarns have been so beautiful this year I’m not sure where to start on what. Thank you for sharing your projects.

[@joscraftjourney6654]

Wow, the Grandmother's Flower Garden is a beautiful quilt. A kit sounds great!

[@SandyDandyAdams]

Thank you for your discussion. 🌻makes me happy to see another multi crafter with several projects in process. My favorite item you're working on is the circular trivet with the striped yarn. ♥️

[@teresat.8145]

All of your blanket/shawl knitting and crochet is so inspiring! ❤️🧶

[@LadyMienna]

I love seeing folks work in acrylic yarns. I love my wools but acrylic can take such a beating. That's what I use for kids fingerless gloves and all sorts of things like that. 😍

[@elaineenstone6834]

It was lovely to see your projects today. Your new found thrill for EPP takes me back about 44 years ago when my children and I joined my husband in Spain for 3 months when he was working there. We were staying in a hotel and did not have much space. The girls did their lessons in the morning and I stitched or knitted whilst overseeing their studies. I even managed to buy a pattern in Spanish and yarn to knit each of the girls a scarf. Never managed a whole quilt by hand but have machined plenty here in the UK. 🇬🇧

[@debbiewilliams819]

As someone new to crochet and knitting, I'm so pleased I found your channel! I've managed to graduate from making squares to finishing my first ever pair of socks - thanks to your Vanilla Socks on DPNs tutorial - and now I'm hooked!

[@Deborah750]

Thankyou soooo much for sharing your yarn stitching & hooking, & goodies with us!🥰❤️🧶

[@vadec5909]

Your podcasts are always fun to watch. I really like your scrappy socks. The prayer shawl is lovely. They are fun to crochet. Your bags you show are so cute. Thank you and have a nice afternoon

[@ChanelBlanc15]

You always have such beautiful yarn! I can’t watch a video without making a note of new yarn to get. You’re a terrible enabler! 😂❤

[@chrissyfarmer2949]

Thanks for sharing all the wips and finished objects! Always thankful for inspiration.

[@tammyschniers569]

The yarn choice is perfect to go with the giveaway bag! Both very pretty! You are so very generous Kay!

[@luvlybella6238]

I enjoy watching your youtube videos while I knit. You always show beautiful projects with gorgeous colors and yummy yarns.

[@mariaslayman9795]

I love your excitement about making a quilt. Scrappy quilts are the best! I have been a quilter for a long time and now have the same excitement about making socks!

[@mariaslayman9795]

Oh and an idea for your “coaster flowers”. You could attach or appliqué one to a project bag!

[@kristinchowanec9512]

Okay, I'm also obsessed with Sister Wives! And making a grandmother's flower quilt is on my bucket list!!

[@janiceharrell8730]

I am on the final countdown for my Cozy Memories blanket. I do one block every morning while having my morning coffee. I am on course to have the blocks done on the 31st of this month, and then make an I-cord border edge as soon as I figure out what color I want the border to be. I also have a pair of socks on the needles, as usual.

[@brendamelahn1781]

Still loving your podcasts and thanks to you my socks are now in demand. Love the Grandma’s Flower Garden quilt - beautiful. While I love hand quilting, I’m now limited quilts to crib or smaller!

[@gayleklein8890]

Kay! You are a crafting machine! The half hour with you recharges my batteries!! Go Kay go!!❤

[@jessicaelisebanks]

I love watching your podcasts and seeing all the yarn and project bags and all the projects ❤️

[@sueluther4737]

I love your podcasts…..however, it is so contagious to start more and more projects!! You were correct, not enough knitting time!!! Thx for all you do for your crafting family❤❤

[@alisonfoster7566]

Thank you for helping me get over my aversion to acrylic yarn. I love what you are do with your shawls. How kind. Thanks for a great show.

[@heathertucker7056]

You have been busy again with all your makings! I absolutely love the new Domino blanket and that pattern has now gone on to my favourites list! Definitely one for the future! Glad to hear your trip went well and Lily loved her new sweater! Take care and thank you.

[@fiddliedee01]

Thank you for another video filled with inspiration Kay. Your yarny wall is just heaven 😍

[@janec9038]

Love all of Midwest stitches bags! She does such a great job and omg that yarn, gorgeous! Your crocheted prayer blankets are beautiful. Now I want to go to Jo Ann’s and try some Big Twist yarn. 🧶❣️

[@cindysampson8082]

I love watching all your podcast, especially seeing all the different socks and the yarn you are using. Gives me so many ideas for more yarn

[@donnawelch3548]

Really enjoy seeing all your scrappy projects. Thanks for sharing.

[@danielleboots7032]

Lovely bag and sock yarn. Your newest circular blanket is very pretty. Looking forward to seeing the finished project.

[@kimsmith2623]

The domino star blanket is gorgeous. I can't wait to see the finished product. I'm already picking my yarns out of my stash! Now to figure out where to put it in the queue!

[@deirdreevans5533]

Hi Kay! I have finally started a sock🤗 Following your Vanilla sock pattern on 9" circulars tutorial is so much easier than I was anticipating. I am an adventurous knitter who knits slow and I am loving the process. Thank you for all you do. You're such an inspiration 💕

[@crystalspandrusyszyn3115]

I love those scrappy socks so so much! I have so much leftover sock yarn. I haven't been motivated to work on my scrappy blankets maybe fun socks are where my leftovers need to be right now! Then I can bust out my Scrappy Sunday mug again!

[@MidwestStitches]

Boyd was my favorite character too!! Walton Goggins is an amazing actor 😁 I think I loved the dynamic between Raylan & Boyd, it just gave the show something extra plus it really reminded me of all my relatives in Tennessee 🤣

[@CrazySockLady]

haha! He really was the best part of the show I think!

[@mariyatomyev]

I can't wait until fall takes in fully. It'll be so much fun sitting inside and knitting, looking outside at raining pouring down and being all happy that I finally get my knitting time. Summer is always so crazy 🤪 with my little ones.

[@dianaemmick1811]

Yea! I love when your podcasts post! I can’t wait to see how your new scrappy blanket grows bc the center is gorgeous! Those prayer shawls both have pretty stitches. I’m crocheting a runner in ripple stitch for my MIL right now. It’s nice to switch up between knit and crochet to help keep things interesting.

[@juliejealous632]

Your new blanket is just gorgeous. Looking forward to seeing that one progress and also your epp quilt kit. Grandmother's flower garden is a great first quilt top. Enjoy! ❤

[@rebeccacuppett7448]

I watched Sue and Chelsea's latest episode and immediately ran out to Michael's to buy the yarn to do the crocheted fall blanket that Sue is making. You're not alone lol! I really love that they show off the things they're making in acrylic- easy wearing and very affordable. We tend to become yarn snobs, but I love the price point and accessibility of those acrylics for sudden need to cast on all the things moments!

[@CrazySockLady]

Yes!!! To all of that. I am probably heading to Joanns tomorrow when I run some errands. 😂 I don't think I can wait any longer!

[@mannabee240]

Thank you so much for doing the summer sock camp again this year! I had fun making several pairs and my first scrappy socks myself ever for myself! Next up on my needles: scrappy Convertible mittens for Mr. Man. Might make a few pairs of fingerless gloves and mits this fall. ❤

[@Jenjursnap]

Wow - the Domino Star Blanket!!! 🤩😍 *immediately adds to list of knitting goals*

[@jackielaskowski4010]

Hi, Kay! I’m enjoying a lovely Saturday AM watching this episode - another gem. It’s always fun to learn about new projects. My goal for today: finish my last pair of SSC socks! Thanks for sharing your talents with us. Peace, my friend!

[@EvieO1950]

So much energy!! So many great projects, so many exciting plans, so much inspiration!!! 🧶💕🧶

[@jacksheilaweber4322]

Hi Kaye, Your afghans are beautiful. So nice to know of a good acrylic budget friendly yarn we can use as the need arises. Thank you for your podcast. All the best! Sheila

[@katejohnson3206]

I cannot recommend Big Twist enough for knitting and crochet, I use it for just about everything I make. I am obsessed with the color Dark Teal right now, it is so pretty. Thanks so much for your kindness!!

[@CrazySockLady]

Ohh that color sounds so pretty! I'm going to look for that one when I go to Joanns next.

[@annasaurus_k]

Your new knit blanket looks amazing! I love the effect of the self-striping yarn. So pretty!

[@katherinescott2131]

Thank you Kay for always making it enjoyable to watch all the yarnie madness! Glad I'm not the only one that has a ton of wips!

[@dawnuselto8777]

I'm working on a boyfriend cardigan (crochet) and I keep looking at my sock yarn, however i have a couple of pink baby blankets that I have to get started on for our great, great niece that's due in January!!! I've to finish up a blanket before Christmas for my grand-daughter, it's a late wedding present she got married back in May of this year!!! So I want to have it to her before the end of the year!!!! 😮. Its already late, but i lost my cro-jo for a while, and still don't have it back fully charged!! Lol I'm just trying to take it a day at a time!! Thanks for the upbeat video today, with all the work you show,it puts me in a good mood and gives me hope that I can get all my stuff done!!! I started teaching myself to knit because I wanted to knit myself a pair of socks!! 😆 I do much more crochet than knitting,truth be told!!! Lol. I do have a few patterns for crochet socks, but they just don't see m as comfortable as knitted ones!!!!

[@loriblair7652]

Now that I've finally conquered my fear of sock knitting, I have to admit that I am addicted! 😂 I still have 2 pairs that I want to finish before the 31st. The Domino Star Afghan looks interesting. I will check it out. Thanks again for sharing all your projects.

[@JamosMom]

I made a grandmothers flower garden quilt many years ago. Not a paper piecing kit, I cut the fabric pieces myself. Love that pattern. Can't wait to see what yours will look like.

[@leetrayer8639]

Thanks for doing summer sock camp. I enjoy seeing what you are working on. I may even give a prayer shawl a try. I haven't crocheted in about 20 years!

[@stephanienorris364]

Wow, lots of lovely projects today. Love the scrappy socks and the beginnings of your wine colored cardigan.

[@christinewoolley7192]

I love your new scrappy blanket project and can’t wait to see your version of the stars. Your colours always go so well together and I’ll be cheering you on!

[@christianavance9124]

Your paper piecing has been inspiring me to work on my knit projects for fun instead of to have the final projects. Thanks for that.

[@fourwindspoweredparaglidin6453]

I belonged to a quilting group when I lived in England and we did a lot of EPP. We made Christmas postcards one year. So cute! Also, I GOT MY JEEP YESTERDAY!!! I’m officially a Jeep girl again!!! Now I need one of those Jeep knitting bags lol!!!! 😂

[@CrazySockLady]

That is awesome!!!!! Jeeps are such fun!

[@annettegourlie565]

Next week is the last week of summer in Wisconsin and this past week we've had the over the top heat, it was near 100 degrees on Wednesday. Right now I'm working on mittens for my daughter, I'm so happy I figured out how to knit on magic loop with this pattern.

[@debreeves8923]

August 31 is looming before me…probably finish Summer Sock Camp with one sock short of a pair. It’s been fun and more relaxing this year. Already have a outline plan for Sumner Sock Camp 2024!

[@jameswife2003]

I haven't been able to use my sewing machine for a while. Watching you learn EPP is making me want to pick some quilting back up!

[@Anamaria-py2ou]

Love love love ❤️ your scrappy socks. I’m so inspired I’m going to gather up all my leftover yarn 🧶 I do have it all in one huge clear recycling bag which is helpful 😊

[@bonniethompson3211]

Regia yarns are great. My first pair of socks were done with that yarn. Cute bag. Guy who played Boyd was the Unicorn ! Totally different character, but Walton Goggins is great. 😊

[@Anji2866]

It is wonderful to see all the knitting you do regularly. Thanks

[@jewelslei]

The scrappy socks are so pretty! Can’t wait to see what you quilt.❤

[@beatricedyer2427]

You have so many beautiful yarns. Love all the project bags too.

[@karenknitspodcast]

I am so excited for the cooler weather to get here! Bring on the hand knit socks and warm sweaters!! And a sock madness forever project bag - I need that ♥

[@janemclendon3831]

Your prayer shawls are so pretty. Love the new blanket pattern. You always bring happiness and motivation. Thank you.

[@priscilladufilho6103]

OMG! I love to see the FOs and WIPs. I always get ideas for my 1 or 2 projects that I know it will take me forever to finish but I get awesome ideas 😊 have a great week!

[@traceyh3846]

Love all of your projects, but most of all, I love the socks you make. I'm obsessed with making socks. I knit them using magic loop as I haven't mastered double pointed needles yet. Thanks so much for sharing. Hugs 😊

[@rebeccablankenship5493]

Oh my gosh I love the star afghan. And it would be great to use up the leftover fingering weight yarn. I tend by the same greens and blues so I think it would be fabulous. Always look forward to what you’re gonna share.

[@Teacupyarns]

Summer sock camp seemed to fly by this year. Seems like summer just started and now we are at the end of it. Loving all the socks. Seeing your prayer shawls have inspired me to make some. Have a blessed day.

[@bonniekilbourn8706]

Loving the Domino Star afghan! I went out and took a look at other completed blankets and they're amazing for sure. This looks like a really fun stash buster and I will def keep this in my future project book.

[@Katherine.Krafts]

Ahhhhh, I love that sock project bag so much!!!❤ the color and saying is classic and just my style!

[@wendywelch5567]

The blanket you casted on is beautiful! I love how the center is worked up. 💕

[@wendyahles]

Love Arnie and Carlos yarn. Those two are a hoot. Thanks for turning me on to Justified for my 'almost fall binge series'.

[@editaprochazkova684]

I love crocheting while listening to your podcast. You're such an inspiration for me.

[@teresaknittingdancer9052]

love the new blanket. I put my fall quilt on my bed this morning. I use a quilt for the bedspread. I will change out my kitchen towels next week. I am ready for fall. Heat index has been around 105 to 110 all week here in north Alabama.

[@denisewells6856]

Thanks for your enthusiasm! It always inspires me to get going on something; like pulling all my Fall bags out and stuffing them with Fall yarn projects or cross stitch projects for the Fall or even the Fall EPP project I know is on the shelf waiting for me to finish❤

[@CrazySockLady]

Do it all!!!! 😉

[@cadyfh]

All of your advent projects inspired me to work on a bunch of blankets and throws!

[@elizabethflicker7674]

I have almost finished knitting socks using King Cole Zig Zag yarn. It's good to see all your finished projects.

[@aldadesrochers6657]

I enjoy very much your podcasts. It inspires me to knit the Cosy Comfort Throw with my left over sock yarns …which I have a lot. I love all your projects.!

[@knittingsinmyDNA]

The Domino Star blanket looks so nice! It almost looks velvety in the picture. Love the fall looking colors so far. Can't wait to see more!

[@teraliles1727]

I'm on vacation in Virginia Beach this week & have plans to visit their LYS cuz every time we vacation somewhere, I get some yarn to knit myself, hubby, daughter & granddaughter socks!! I don't have an LYS anywhere close to me in Southeastern Ohio, so getting to visit them on vacation sure is a treat for me!! ☺️

[@francelavery5553]

That scrappy blanket looks really neat! Can't wait to see how it looks when you make more progress on it!

[@marie-elysedugal8629]

You are so close to finishing your Anthology throw! And I love scrappy socks too and I want some with Halloween yarn leftovers 🎃. That Grinch bag is amazing and so is your giveaway, thank you!

[@yarnhoarder]

I love the comment of wanting to go to Joanne’s for yarn! I do the same! I’m sure I have yarn to make this project that calls for lion brand yarn but did i even look, nope- went off to Joanne’s to get some.

[@karenridling9223]

Very interesting the new crochet blanket you have started really looking forward to following your progress. Thank you for sharing with us ❤.

[@ranellrairigh6461]

I love Justified and find it great to see other fans out there! For Walton Goggins fans, CBS did a show called “The Unicorn” featuring him. It didn’t last long thanks to Covid, but what they did put out was great.

[@michellekitson5405]

Hi Kayla. Love your new star blanket. At first I thought it was crocheted and saw you were knitting it. Looks amazing. Great colours. I love seeing you so excited to be thinking about making a cardigan with Joanne yarn and maybe making a few sweaters for your nieces. The fun is shopping for the yarn and deciding the colours to use and the patterns. I just finished my first pair of socks on magic loop done with your vanilla socks pattern. Thankyou for the great tutorial It took me ages to finally get in the mood again to finish them as I did start in January but I kept putting them down to do other projects. Mainly crocheting a flower pattern shawl from Jane Crowe called the Climbing Rose that I changed and made larger with different colours to made a double bed size for my daughter's birthday and another one lap size for my mum's birthday. I loved them so much I want to start another one for me but thought to finish the socks first. Thanks for a great video. Take care.

[@Bjberres113]

Hi Kay! I have a new love of knitting socks! Just finished my second pair! Love watching your channel and seeing all your beautiful projects. I love to crochet too!

[@ABuckeyeBeth]

Thanks for the recommendation of the acrylic yarn- I too need easy care, durable yarn for my grandson’s things!

[@brandiquin3484]

Your new episode inspired me to sit and finish a sock finally! A few moments to knit is so rejuvenating

[@susanneandersen1053]

Oh my… summer Sock Camp is almost done and all I still Think about is casting on more socks ❤ Im gonna snatch up your idea of having a rotation with project bags. That’s just so great and free up room for more themed ones in my collection 🎉

[@patsyvincent9483]

I love all the projects you have started. You have good taste. I would love to win the sock project bag and pretty blue yarn. I love to watch your videos. You are such a delight to watch.

[@esthermoses1673]

Love all your shawls, blankets and socks. Loved doing English paper piecing when I used to quilt before I started knitting and crocheting. Great podcast.

[@theLogstead]

There is something delicious about a can-not-help-but-cast-on projects. Grab the pattern, needles, a bag, yarn dive... just so good. The self striping looks amazing in the blanket start!

[@maralusis5434]

Love the idea of your scrappy socks. I really must get all my many leftovers together and balled up so I can start knitting these.

[@kathydehnel6172]

Oh my goodness! I watched this when it first came out, but I need to come back to comment. I told you I’ve been watching podcasts, in order, from the beginning. It’s so interesting and sometimes confusing. I find myself wanting to join in, and then realize this was 5 or 6 years ago. I watched the West Virginia 2017 Easter Vlog. It was wonderful. Then it jumped to a Vlog from May 2020. Austin was sitting 🪑 on the couch with you. When you turned the camera for him to say goodbye, I almost cried. Typical mom, I still might. He has grown into such a handsome young man, and this was 3 years ago!! His voice was so deep. Amazing. You must be very proud. Thank you for sharing.

[@karencaldro4284]

You are so generous sharing the give always. I really enjoy watching all the things you knit.

[@ginnyl1717]

I really love watching your podcasts, and my husband enjoys listening to them! I'm not really into sewing, but I have to admit that seeing your EPP projects just might get me started.

[@donnelleanderson2471]

Love fall and the colors of fall. Can't wait to get started on fall socks. Love your sock patterns
