Episode 233: I’m loving the tandem socks

[@kendenta2207]

Good morning Lisa. Suggestion: Have your daughters open up the wrapped yarns. They can pull out Dr. Who, and allow them to rewrap the skeins. This way you are not involved. You haven't touched or seen any of them. No guilt or whatever you may be feeling. Go for it Lisa. I would like to see the skein and watch future podcasts with this yarn I know you want to knit up socks with. Hope to see it next Monday. Please, let us see it. Ken

Knitting in tandem suits me too for socks and mittens. Love all your socks. Yes, for Dr. Who yarn.

[@Ukegirl831]

Find the Doctor Who yarn in any way, shape, or form. It must be knit while watching the series. Yay!

[@valerieodonnell6764]

My kids watched me open the yarnable subscription this month and my son immediately claimed this skein for himself. Lol. Love the color, and love making socks for my kids.

[@karenannallard7278]

Just dig out the dr who yarn! Carefully open the packages, grab dr who and wrap up the ones you had to open. By the time you start with the numbers again you won't remember the ones you opened. 😁 No point stressing over it.

[@Yarnchickenfibers_]

Yes. Dr Who yarn. Definitely!

[@karibrinkman-sull7239]

Hi, I feel the same way about the Woolens and Nosh advent. Too expensive for what we got and I don't even like the middle/end colors. Lesson learned :( Your makes are amazing, as always

[@janetjroberson2581]

Hello Lisa the Awesome Knitter, from Mounds, Illinois!

[@kaviraj1993]

Oh Wow!! Thank you so much!!! Surprised & excited to see my name on the screen 💃🏻💃🏻 Loved participating in the kal and thanks to all three of you for organising it ❤ Will send you my details soon.

I totally understand the overwhelming feeling of too many advent projects. I set out to knit the Bakery Bears advent sock, the imagined landscapes gnome and a mitred square using the 10g mini but I am not in love with all the minis and I have lost steam. I set it aside and got caught up on the other 2 and I am not going to stress about it. the blanket can be worked on in January.

[@lesamatthes7811]

Cozy Knitter fade - I also couldn’t tell where one color stopped & another started so I am knitting 6 rows a day & putting it down. I have also overwhelmed myself with sock cast ons BUT I on now that I will get them finished if not in December, then January. I look forward to each of your podcasts!

[@SweaterWeatherPodcast]

Good Morning Lisa! I hope you get a little snow for Christmas! You are the boss of your knitting. Absolutely you should find the Dr Who skein if you want to knit it. ☺️

[@Ladeedi73]

Find it! I agree about letting the girls help 😊

[@MissJudyBad]

PEEK! follow your joy!

[@Golden.5555]

Lisa so good to see you

[@kaitlynawatson]

Hello Lisa!! We are getting snow in Montana. Hopefully, it will move your way! I agree Christmas is not the same without snow!

[@sandracroley9784]

Maybe you need to think of the next big project?....will it be one of the Stephen West mystery shawls? 🤔 😊

[@marinafluit2010]

Open them until you find it! It was supposed to be knit :-) hope you will find it and make another pair of beautiful socks with it ! Your socks are beautiful. Love the stripes of all ....

[@bettymcwoods9799]

Hi Lisa. You simply must continue to get all the advents otherwise it will overwhelm and stress you out if you Don't!! 😉

[@knitalltheyarnpodcast5512]

🤣🤣🤣

[@onesweetlife2469]

Just find the Dr. Who yarn…you deserve it! ❤

[@Golden.5555]

I did the cuffs and heels in woolens and Nosh 😅

[@knitknotandweave8177]

Good morning Lisa. That shawl is amazing! You amaze me with how many socks you knit in a year. Have you ever tried the Umbrella Heel by Kay Jones? That is a nice afterthought heel and really cups the heel! Don't stress over Advent socks. Just knit them at your own pace. I purchased all 3 this year too, but I was a little late on the W&N set so my colors are seconds and who cares! I purchase them to admire these dyer's creativity. Don't let the stripe a day stress you out!

[@kellynalley7832]

I am not a rule breaker so the mystery skeins would not be compromised even if I really wanted to knit one that was wrapped up. I played flute from 6th to 9th grade until a car accident ended my abilities with my mouth to play. I tried to pick it back up after lip surgery, but there was just too much air in the sound. I still own my flute though. It was a lot of fun to be in marching band.

[@kristinaknox7933]

My daughter is in 5th grade and it's her first year of band too. She's a clarinet

[@carolinagirlstitcher]

I say either have your kiddos find the Dr. Who skein and then rewrap the others or draw from just the single skeins. That way you aren’t peeking either way!

[@ericallerton809]

We had no snow left either,,,till last night ,,,Now we have abit to cover the grass,,,weird weather,,,!!! Look for UR Dr who socks!!! I found the cozy knitter hard to see the stripes,,too,,,, Have got to the part of heels now,,,So will do those at some point today ,,, They are different and think I like the stripes better,,,,, Love all UR Socks,,,So must better in tandem,,,, So many Vlogmas es this year,,,,overwhelmed,,,,,Have to watch some in January,,,! Take care Elaine🏘🎄

[@brendamercier261]

I would peek in the single skein pachages

[@onajourneylife2242]

Exactly how many us1.5 needles do you own?? lol. Gorgeous socks!

[@knitalltheyarnpodcast5512]

Around 8-10. 🤣

[@mommajessknits]

I say find the Dr Who socks. It will make you happy and help with being stressed about your knitting.

[@TheCripeCrew]

Love the color of the Yarnable skein! I took a long break from sock knitting (like 10 years) and now that I’m getting back into it there’s so many more options. I’m thinking about knitting my next pair in tandem. How do you split your skeins? By weight or by yardage? Also wondering why you pull from the outside of the cake.

[@knitalltheyarnpodcast5512]

I split my skein by weight. I pull from the outside of the skein because it keeps the leftovers in a nice mini cake and I don’t have to rewind it later. 😆

[@ginac24]

Hi! I’m new to sock knitting. I love your podcast. When do Advent yarns come out? I would love to get one next year.

[@knitalltheyarnpodcast5512]

Hello! It varies. Around April-July.

[@ginac24]

Thanks!!💛🧶

[@lesamatthes7811]

Find the Dr Who skein!

[@gailhalloshry410]

I’ll buy your cozy advent IF you want to sell it. Gail

[@knitalltheyarnpodcast5512]

Spoiler alert! I went ahead and finished them. 😆
