I have been using a natural soap bar for hair and body for about a year.. love it. Saves using shampoo chemicals and using plastic bottles. Haven't used an official shampoo bar. Still use bottled conditioner, though, can't find an alternative yet.. Love the socks for Wyatt and all the yarn. Nice. Great video.

[@litad.4549]

I just finished making that rainbow ripple blanket. I’ve made several before. It a nice mindless project for when I’m watching shows.

[@roos7631]

I love using shampoo bars, when you get used to it it's way easier than 'regular' shampoo, at least for me. I use liquid shampoo once a week after swimming and I don't like it as much. I love the baby blanket! I have some yarn for a baby blanket, so maybe I'll cast on that pattern. And wisdom teeth removal is far less painfull than when they grow, that was my experience, everyone is different. Sure, it's not the most pleasant thing and it's annoying for a couple of days, but I found the growing much more painfull! 😊

[@margreffle]

My sister-in-law swore by pineapple juice to reduce swelling and bruising after wisdom teeth surgery. My nephew was perfectly fine afterwards. I didn't have a chance e to try it with my girls, but just putting it out there. Lots of pineapple juice the week or so before oral surgery.

[@alysingh]

I have to second the drinking of pineapple juice after wisdom teeth removal! The enzymes in the pineapple that break down meat are proven to reduce swelling. I drank about a litre of it during the day after having all 4 removed, and the next morning I was no longer chipmunk looking. And shampoo bars are great for travelling, I love bringing them with me when I fly as it lessens the liquids you have to carry through security. :)

[@staceyburley195]

I am the same way with looking forward to season changes. They each have their unique attributes, and I don't think I would be happy without all 4 of them. I have lived in Michigan my whole life, though. Thanks so much for sharing your makes! I can't wait to see that baby blanket when it is finished. It's going to be so lovely!

Fun fact, I grew a 5th wisdom tooth! I had all 4 removed in 2008, and about sold 2013 I had to get another removed. My dentist said in his 30 years of practicing, it was only the 2nd time he had seen that happen!!

[@CrazySockLady]

Oh my gosh!! That is crazy!

[@knitty781]

I love Mandala for baby blankets. And that one is amazing!! Wyatt's sweater is coming along beautifully. I love the acrylic stitch markers from Twin Mountain Handcrafts. They are definitely on my list of 'Advent goodies' for 2024. I'm so glad you mentioned the Freckled Whimsey Christmasy Sock Club. It's been fun to see the new colors. Don't worry about the wisdom teeth. I had to get mine out at 54 and it was fine. I actually went back to work after.

[@pkmnbuneary]

Seasons? What are those? As a native Floridian all I know is rainy summer (spring), hot oven (summer), windy summer (autumn), finally a break from summer (winter, late Dec-Feb) hahaha. Love your podcast Kay

I had a wisdom tooth pulled when I was in my mid-30’s, it was really not that bad. I was training for a marathon and ran 3 miles on day 4. Just make sure you get them all out at once and don’t have to do it again (I have a second one coming in now and have to go through it again).

[@jennyvonderruhr5403]

I love using shampoo bars from LUSH. Your baby blanket looks great- it is so nice to see a baby blanket made up in non traditional colors. I feel like it extends the life of the blanket into childhood years and beyond!

[@krisvanallen]

What I would tell younger Kris when I started knitting: Keep a notebook, keep labels with project, take a photo of the finished item to add to notebook with attaching label on the page, and add notes esp regarding needle size and counts!

I loooove shampoo bars. Especially when traveling

[@jessiandknits8294]

I moved back to the east coast partially because it's so nice to watch the seasons change. Best of luck with all the wisdom teeth! I had mine out a few years ago and was grateful I opted for IV sedation. I knit 72 stitch socks for my husband, they are big!

[@rdeniserhinehart7512]

[@LochBriarKnits]

I switched to shampoo/conditioner bars a while ago (vioria and ketch) and both are fantastic. Definitely prefer them over bottled shampoo. I didn't get my wisdom teeth out until I was in my late 40s. Another great podcast - thanks!!

[@emilylee9441]

I love the idea of tracking grams of yarn in and out. My goal is to reduce stash but I have no idea if I’m making progress. Thanks for inspiring me to be more intentional about this:)

Great podcast as always thank you 🧶☕️😊

[@backporchfiberco]

When u were talking about the chicken situation I was thinking we used to get amazon packages sent to our door… with my name on them… but nothing was ordered on my account and they weren’t gifts. Someone was having them delivered to my house and then hoping I wasnt home to retrieve them so they could come get them off my porch. Kinda yucky because someone was probably watching our house. But thinking it may not have been their address but somewhere they were going to get it from 😂

Have a fun weekend! Blessings to you all!

[@JensCreativeSpace]

I'm amazed at how much you finish on your projects in a week. ❤️

[@jrebj00]

All your makings are looking so awesome! I also love the changing seasons. I'm a born and bred Michigander and love when winter turns to spring and summer turns to fall the best (although I would move to the ocean in a heartbeat if my husband was open to it). Good luck on the wisdom teeth issue. My middle daughter has bad anxiety and threw up all over the doctor when they were doing hers :| I had no idea they were planning on her being awake. Fun times.

[@CrazySockLady]

Poor thing!!! I have anxiety too, so I feel her struggle. My anxiety goes through the roof just with a regular dentist appointment! 😅

[@Tobyknits]

I only ever use shampoo bars now....less plastic waste and the bars last much much longer than liquid shampoo. Try it, bet you like it.

Awesome stats! Looks like we both went crochet crazy this week! I cast on the Freckled Whimsy Christmas Club today! 🤣🤣 I one had one wisdom tooth, and removed it when I was 30. It was a bad idea to wait that long, but I was terrified. Good luck! 😬

[@lavendercottagefibrearts]

the jelly roll blanket looks like a great way to use self striping scraps! I've been using shampoo and conditioner bars for about 3 years now. i use the ones from ethique. they have a lavender scented one that I really like.

[@CrazySockLady]

Yes! It is great for self striping! I will have to look them up if I like this one. I love lavender!

I’m working on a small Granny Stripe Blanket requested by my grandson. Now I’m having pain at the base of my thumb. Do you have any particular exercises or strategies you have found that help? It doesn’t seem to happen when I’m knitting; but, I really love the look of Granny Stripes and want to be able to crochet without being in pain. Love your podcasts! 🩷I always see something new I want to make or buy.

[@marinawelch3964]

Thanks for another enjoyable episode. I’ve added Frieda McFadden to my reading list. I’ve been using shampoo bars when I travel ever since the liquid limits took effect - love them and should probably use all the time to help reduce plastic consumption.

[@CrazySockLady]

That is a great idea to use them for travel! And I agree, it would be nice to use them to reduce plastic!

[@meghankelley6244]

I had my wisdom teeth removed when my kids were 11 mos and 2.5 years. It wasn’t bad at all. Or at least I didn’t think so…I was too busy being mom 😅. I may have been miserable but really remember now lol

[@CrazySockLady]

Maybe I should have had it done then! Because you’re right.. thinking back I would have just been so busy with kid stuff that maybe it would have been like ehh, whatever. 😂🤣

[@evelynmehrkens6668]

I only use bar shampoo. It was recommended to me in a co-op health food store. Once I tried it I never bought liquid again. There is no waste due to pouring out too much. I had two of my wisdom teeth removed when I was in my 60s. I recovered quickly. The only difference between that and a regular extraction is that you are anesthetized.

[@donnawelch3548]

Love all the socks !

[@niknaiman5359]

Because you liked Freida's books, I have a few recs for you: Harlan Coben "The Boy from the Woods". Noelle Ihli "Ask for Andrea" (This one had some AMAZING thought provoking ideas that really got my wheels spinning, plus was a great storyline. Stacy Willingham "A Flicker in the Dark". Mary Kubica "Local Woman Missing".

I am one year older than you Kay, and I just had my wisdom teeth removed two months ago. Mine were causing issues, so they definitely had to come out. I was so nervous, but it actually wasn’t as bad as I thought. I went in to my appointment with the oral surgeon, took a nap, and when I woke up it was all done. I definitely babied my mouth for a good month because I didn’t want any infections or complications, and it’s all gone well.

[@CrazySockLady]

Oh that makes me feel better!! I have one that’s starting to come through the gums and it’s a bit sore. I’m hoping it is coming in straight but that seems like a rare occurrence 😂 so we will see what the dentist says at my next appointment I guess. But your comment really made me feel so much better. Everything I was reading was saying that it’s harder if you are over 30. 😅😆

[@MrsGrinnellma]

Enjoy your company this weekend. I get three of Freckled Whimsy’s clubs and they were all so good this month. They always are! I worked in a dental office and my dentist was surprised I hadn’t gotten my wisdom teeth out and told me I really should. I said they didn’t bother me. One morning I walked into his office bawling and he looked at me and said “Aww honey, we will take them out this Friday” 😂

@@CrazySockLady It wasn’t bad at all. I’d built it up in my head (as we tend to do) to be horrible and it seriously wasn’t. I went home and slept.

[@pamelahavey8341]

I didn’t take my wisdom teeth out either. A bottom one got infected years ago. They took it out. Piece of cake. When my son got his out, I asked about mine. the surgeon said if the rest aren’t bothering me, we won’t bother them. As you get older, the roots grow, which is why they like to take them when you’re a teen, it’s easier, less complications. Fun fact. Lol. So I’m just waiting for the shoe to drop.

[@CrazySockLady]

Oh no! Hopefully you don’t have to have any other ones removed. I just have one right now that’s starting to push through my gums. I’m hoping it will come in fine and not cause any issues. But I don’t know that I will be that lucky. 😆

In the UK dentists tend to only remove wisdom teeth if they give problems. Mine grew sideways and had to be removed under general anaesthetic in hospital. I looked like a chipmunk, lol. My children were very young at the time and my sister came to help. Lovely yarns today x

[@CrazySockLady]

Here it seems like they like to do it preventatively 🙃 It was always “it may cause issues in the future so you should have them removed” so I always said nah, I’m good. 😂 But one has randomly decided it wants to come through. 😂 I’m hoping it just does its thing and won’t be a problem. No dentist has ever told me they are impacted or anything. So 🤞🏻! We will see what the dentist says at my next appointment!

My 17 year old son had his wisdom teeth all out last Friday (scheduled then as it's spring break this week). Definitely allow at least 4-6 days of recovery for him! The first couple of days were challenging but each day gets better. If you have any questions about the dental surgery feel free to reach out. Good luck!

Thank you!! This will be our first experience with it so I’m nervous about him and then about me if I do have to have them out. 😆

[@Knitpurlmama]

@@CrazySockLady my son was very nervous, so his dentist prescribed. I guess it’s considered an anxiety medication? He took two pills the night before, and one pill the day of. I think it helped. The painkillers afterwards helped as well. He still on the antibiotics, for a few more days. I think it was a 10 day prescription. It seems to be healing nicely. It was the liquid diet after that bothered my son probably the most. He likes to eat! 🤣🤣

[@suebrouillet564]

Great podcast! Just as an informational thing. I am older (much older). My wisdom teeth are in and they aren’t hurting or causing issues so my dentist says as long as this remains no need to remove. Not sure if that is the case for you but thought I would mention it.

I've been using shampoo bars for years now, and while when I'm in a hurry a regular bottled shampoo would be a lot more convenient, I prefer the bars.

I've decided to make the Jelly Roll blanket. I brought the pattern & I've watched a few of the videos in it. How long are you making your blanket? (I've been getting Row 1 minis for over a year.)

[@CrazySockLady]

I haven’t measured the length. I just went until the strip seemed long enough to me. Not very technical, I know. 🤣

Hey Kay, Love your scrappy blankets. How do you wash them? Do you wash them like a knit sweater? Just curious.

[@CrazySockLady]

I wash them in my washing machine. Delicate cycle, cold water.

Try Keri Beevis she is awesome also

[@CrazySockLady]

Yes! I’ve read quite a few of hers. They have all been good.

When you mentioned doing 70 rounds for the leg of Wyatt’s sock, does that include the cuff or is it 70 rounds plus 20ish more rounds before starting the heel? Thankyou😊

[@CrazySockLady]

The 70 rounds is just the leg, doesn’t include the cuff. ☺️
