[@makesbymia]

Thank you for another lovely podcast, always a joy seeing your makes. Always so kind seeing people send and donate things to be given away and spread the joy of crafting further

[@daylemenges7177]

I love the idea of sorting your stash. I sort mine about every 6 months or as needed. I am a "strategic stasher" and only buy yarns with projects in mind. I fall in love with the yarns I've purchased and they get moved to my "must use" list. It's a reminder to be grateful for what I have instead of wishing for more. Kind of fitting for your cross stitch pattern. Happy making!

[@annpapadopulo]

OMG I cannot believe how many socks you have knitted - I am so enjoying knitting socks from stash and hopefully I will have a few pairs knitted in the next month - hope you enjoy your trip to your family and stay safe 🥰

[@lindamarlatt3259]

Sometimes I am envious of your stash, but then you podcast about taking days to reorganize all of it and my stash envy quickly disappears. 😂 I have enough stash to feel that if I could not buy sock yarn for a year and I wouldn't run out. Keep in mind that it takes me a month to knit one pair.😂😂 Love Lily's sweater!

[@lindafrank1526]

Love the podcast. Thanks for the stash idea. I didn’t realize I could put it on Ravelry. I’ve been trying to build up my stash and now it’s gotten a little out of control as to what I have. Mainly sock yarn. I need to get all my socks added to SSC so I can be eligible for prizes too. Thanks for all you do. Have a great trip!

[@ajborthwick7239]

Oh putting all the yarn into Ravelry is such a big job! I did it a few years ago but love having it all there- really helps when I’m out at the yarn shop and can see what I have at home.

[@ninamariannajensen5297]

Thank you Kay for arranging the Summe Sock Camp - It’s great to knit sock together with so many knitters from all over the World!

[@hmmcminn7221]

Sometimes I think my sock game is so on… and then I hear your count! Way to go girlie!! I LOVE knitting socks and learned from your pattern and video on 9” circs. Thank you for giving me one of my all-time favorite pastimes (and gifts to give). Blessings!

[@dippeldopp9980]

It’s a lot of work to register the stash in Ravelry, but it’s so nice to go “online shopping” in your own stash. And that patterns you look at tell you suggestions from your stash!

[@loriblair7652]

The white project bag is adorable! Going through yarn stash and making plans for projects is so fun. It is helpful putting them on Ravelry to link to projects.

[@leekasten3549]

I have been bagging some of my yarns also into ziplock then plastic totes with a dryer sheet. It helps me with seeing what I really have for yarn stash. I love the green Santa project bag. She was beautiful work!

[@lynettelinam1110]

Thank you for your podcast, always enjoy seeing what you are working on and seeing the different yarns used. You have inspired me to work on organizing my yarn stash. Can't wait to your next podcast ... Happy Making.

[@melissafriedrich3171]

Awesome socks and pink and black sweater so looks beautiful too! Thanks for another great episode. I also love having my yarn organized, and get reaquainted with my own beautiful yarns.

[@janisfox3592]

Hi Kay, always love seeing your projects. I agree knit what brings you joy. Vanilla socks are always my go to and bring me joy. I like both the bag and stitch markers.😊

[@lindseymcpherson5533]

The stash on Ravelry is such an undertaking but so worth it in the end! I found that if i took pictures of 20 skeins or so, then while i was waiting somewhere without my knitting I was able to log a few skeins in my stash!

[@SandPell123]

Congratulations to all of the winners! I absolutely love the Canadian West series.

[@maxiimacdonald4258]

Love seeing all the socks you’re working on! I’m always interested to see what colours of yarn you’re working with whether it be old stash or new. Would love to see a yarn room tour when you finally reorganise but obviously that’s more work for you 😅 Looking forward to seeing your next episode. ❤

[@kristinahill3708]

Gorgeous projects! You're inspiring me to get my yarn organized. It was so tidy a year ago, but my purchasing rate is faster than my organizing rate. Have a wonderful trip.

[@amandamccoy5814]

I also love that sparkle yarn. Gorgeous colours. Fully understand why you want to knit it up straight away.

[@purplepolly19]

Thank you for a terrific podcast. I would be grateful for either the project bag or the project markers. Lily’s sweater is stunning. She’s fortunate to have an auntie that loves to knit. 🧶 Enjoy your weekend 😊🌻🤓

[@zebrayarnsyarn3911]

Organizing yarn is so fun, it reminds you of what you already have!

[@trinettewells5013]

Wooooohoooo, I'd love just the bag if I am the winner. I enjoy listening to you while I knit and sip my coffee. Your channel is so informative and has helped me memorize the heel flap and gusset for vanilla socks.

[@MyParamedicAfterLife]

Love the “gift” yarn from Sarah’s Crochet Crafts. Yum.

[@carollee188]

I love that you make Lilly a sweater every year for her birthday I look forward to seeing which pattern you choose each time and i love the pink and black together so pretty. You are the reason I knit socks. I love to make them I don’t knit nearly as many as you but that is ok, I knit because it brings me joy. I only want the bag please

[@katiehershberger2862]

Always watch your episodes. So encouraging with sock making. It is my dream to organize my yarn stash. Enjoy your vacation. Thank you for the time you spend sharing your knitting

[@micheledelacruz4301]

Thank you Kay for sharing another fun podcast with us. I really enjoy seeing and hearing about your makes etc. Your nieces sweater is so pretty. I love the cowl and sock gift set, fun stuff and good idea. I'm here for all the things. Take care and have fun in your travels. Traveling mercies for you and your family. Have a blessed weekend friends.

[@sandybassett4901]

Hi Kay, it is so nice to see you again. I hope you and the family are enjoying summer vacation. These weeks go by so quickly and soon the boys will be back in school. The mornings will be cooler and the days shorter. Then fall will begin! That’s my version to feel cooler in these very hot California days. 😅 Love all the makes and FO’s you have been keeping happy with. I hope you enjoy your vacation! Look forward to hearing all about it. Thank you to all those who have donated to this fun KAL! ❤ StitchedbyMimi

[@sydssong]

Your niece is going to love that beautiful sweater! Bags by Awesome Granny and progress keepers are so cute!

[@deborahk1300]

I am amazed how many project you are able to do with your scrap yarn. I am inspired. 😁

[@bethgerdes8721]

I really enjoy William Kent Krueger! He is from Minnesota so it is fun that he mentions things here. Even if I wasn’t from Minnesota, I really enjoy his books! I would be interested in the bag for the drawing. As always, thank you!

[@bertaboegel4424]

Another wonderful podcast. I love Lily’s sweater! I, too, love knitting for others. I’m about to delve into the world of scrappy socks as I’ve been so inspired by yours and others projects. Enjoy your trip💜

[@DalenedeBeer]

Always lovely to see what you're up to and all the lovely yarn!

[@darlenedavis3585]

Beautiful progress keepers and Christmas Bags. You are an inspiration for us. Your socks are incredible and the colors gorgeous. I’m sure anyone that receives your knitting as a gift, is overjoyed. I cannot believe there is just a month left for summer sock camp. I took a break but trying to get my sock mojo back.

[@Ukegirl831]

You inspire me to do all the things. Organizing your stash is motivating me. Gettin ready to upload some summer sock finished objects. Thank you again for teaching me how to knit socks.

[@robertadume7003]

I am almost done with my first ever pair of knitted socks (I have only crocheted projects in the past). I have never knitted using a pattern, and I am following your vanilla sock pattern! I have learned so much from this process and I am so excited to officially consider myself a knitter! Thank you for all your helpful videos, Kayla :D

[@annewebbpots]

That blue yarn you’re using for Wyatt socks is just a beautiful shade of blue. 💜

[@elenabeyers2088]

I am definitely impressed with your prolific sock knitting. People having babies has waylaid me. Have a pair on needles with plans for eight more pairs as gifts. I would be happy with a bag or the progress keepers.

[@margyreibel8418]

Thanks for your lovely ❤ episode. I’m in awe of all your yarn you have. 😮 your nieces jumper looks amazing the colours are so beautiful together. Margy 💕🇦🇺

[@CharlotteGys]

You have so many objects now that it is two weeks in between. You are an inspiration! Awesome granny is truely awesome 🎉

[@suetherrien5306]

Kudos to knitting from stash!! I’ve noticed how full your yarn cabinet is and I can’t wait to see what deep stash yarn you start to work with!!!

[@RMoss-kz2vg]

My favorite bag is the one with the reindeer/snowman, really cute. Lilly is going to love that sweater. The contrast between the two colors is just striking! Take care and have a safe trip.

[@JennaKateKnits]

Wonderful episode and such a delight to see my name on the screen as a prize winner for SSC! It’s been fun seeing your stash entries on Ravelry. Keep at it! Feels so good to get organized!

[@kendenta2207]

Very nice podcast today Kay. Your scrappy socks are absolutely stunning. Your color combos really stand out. So welcoming yo see you. Sometimes with other knitting podcasts and I have many, you pop up and it's fun times watching you again. Take care. Many blessings to you and your family. Enjoy the sunshine 😊 Have a safe and glorious trip tomorrow. Prayers for rain ☔🌧️ 😅

[@marilynwalker3311]

Your niece will love her sweater. Black and pink one of my favorite color combinations!

[@nancyhughes386]

So many great scrappy projects! Love the Santa bag.

[@michellekitson5405]

Hi Kayla. Your socks are all looking great. Love the blue pair you said might be for Wyatt. Just lovely. The sweater for your niece is looking beautiful. You are knitting it up so quickly. I like the bags. Hope you have a great trip. Enjoy.

[@11Eleven11Eleven]

I'm organizing my yarn and other craft supplies too, and even though it does take time away from crafting, it can be very inspiring. I get lots of ideas of what to do with yarn that I forgot I had. I hope you find inspiration in your stash too. Thanks for a fun podcast.

[@LeighaNBRT]

Your consistency in knitting is motivating, as always! Thanks for sharing your progress. The stitch markers and woodland creature bag are so cute!

[@christinatrotter8526]

I love the sweater you are knitting for your niece. The pink really pops on the black. Slowly getting my stash down, I have one box of wool, one of cotton and one of sock yarn, then everything else is in a bag with the pattern and occasionally needles.

[@amberrea8152]

I love organizing, it’s a mess at first but then it feels so accomplished

[@GreeneHood]

Stash organization is time consuming, but so worth it. Hang in there. You can do it! Bags by Awesome Granny are truly awesome!! ❤

[@sarahpotempa11174]

I am not doing good with sock right now. I have busy with baby & wedding blankets. I find people appreciate them more than apparel or socks. Happy for you that you have people who appreciate them all.

[@wg97627]

Can't believe how fast Lily's sweater is going! Soo cute that pink on black, can't wait to see it finished. Looking at the size of the sweater she has to be growing up so fast. Bag only please.

[@katherineh3690]

So lovely for people to share the love! I’m still progressing on my first pair of socks but I’m enjoying and might start a second pair. Love your advice about starting a second pair while you’re still on the easy parts of the first sock!

[@joycecolbourne904]

Have a heart jumping re organized your yarn. It's nice to hear other knitters organizing the yarn stash. Love your podcast. Your socks are awesome. Love knitting vanilla socks.

[@lyndsaybuehler6806]

Love the Santa project bag! And the progress keepers are super sweet too.

[@jennifermoody7363]

I love how the scrappy leftover sock bag is kind of rainbow striped, just like them!

[@bettifelton7435]

Love all your finished projects. Your nieces sweater is sooooo cute! I love the colors and the pattern at the top. She is going to love it. I wish I could knit my socks as fast as you do😻

[@kymdelmar9304]

Good luck entering all your stash into ravelry. Thankfully, I have been in the habit of logging it as I bring yarn into the house, but I know you get a lot more yarn than I do ( gifts etc) so you have a much more to deal with.

[@LeesaRe223]

I loved seeing all your socks & am always amazed how many you can knit. I'm on my second pair of socks and it was fun to be knitting on my socks while you're showing all yours. Your niece's sweater is so pretty!

[@cynthiaspear-duncan7661]

I haven't made tons of socks this summer, been doing lots of things. I m yes doing socks, but dish cloths, a sweater, bandannas. I have been working in the yard, reading, playing music, etc. I am always up to enter for prizes.

[@Mariefb1980]

I was hoping for a new video from you soon! So inspiring to see allllllll the socks you knit. I'm trying to be more present and less on my phone scrolling to get back to the good old days of knitting. So far I'm almost finished a pair of socks that have been languishing in my basket for 9 months! I can't wait to see Lily's sweater all done!

[@mandyhague6363]

The sweater you have made for your niece is gorgeous 😍 Lots of lovely socks as usual.👍🧶🧦

[@katiebell-mahler7521]

Love the sweater you are making for your niece. Also a great idea to separate your yarn by seasons/holidays. I need to organize my stash and this may help.

[@lisab.3116]

Just love the Sarah's crochet craft OOAK yarn. So pretty. The saying on your cross stitch pattern is lovely. Makes me want to break out the cross stich too.

[@kavitadeepchand]

Hello. I love that you knit a bean and olive every year. The pattern is lovely and I'm tempted to knit a version for a gift for a colleague who's having a baby soon.

[@marybeth123]

Lillys sweater is beautiful...she is going to love it. I also am a person who loves cross stitch haven't done as much since I finished The Last Supper on a communion table cloth for my church several years ago. For Christmas usually make ornaments for family so I am picking those out now...please enter me in the drawing for one of the project bags that sure are "awesome" by grannie!❤

[@peggymcatee4950]

Your niece's sweater is stunning! I didn't know there was an adult version. I just read about the inspiration behind the design. Very sweet!

[@debbiewigen805]

As always …such a delightful podcast! Thanks for sharing all your making!! So inspiring! Thanks also for sharing the generosity of the makers you speak about! Hope you have an enjoyable trip!

[@doreenbroesky1049]

Love the yarn stash idea. Beautiful gifts you received 💕

[@stitcht78]

I love Darlene's bags! I'm obsessed with all your yarn and good luck cataloging your stash!

[@julielandy9162]

Love your niece's sweater. That pattern would be perfect for my granddaughters. The Christmas bags are the best! I even have the perfect sock yarn to go in them.😂😂😂 I've been working through my stash for a year now. It is such a great feeling to not have the clutter. I love my yarn, but it was stressing me out. So joy, joy is my goal. Have a great week.

[@crochetlandbybrittany3006]

Have a good trip. I really enjoy seeing all the socks and the different yarns that you use. If chosen to win, I'd just like the bags.

[@dawnlawhon3391]

Am knitting my first ever Jelly Roll Blanket because yours have been so inspiring! And now, after this episode, I find myself wanting to knit a scrappy cowl and matching scrappy socks too!

[@stephaniesyarnescape7827]

Always enjoy watching you and your makes. Always makes me feel inspired! I am also attempting to use my stash and not purchase any yarn! It's not easy, but I keep telling myself that I purchased this yarn to use so I better do it. 😊

[@KarenHoyt-Bonkahoney3]

I love both the prizes. Love all the socks, cowl and other projects in this episode. Congratulations to all the winners!

[@monkeyprincess0806]

Seeing lillys sweater has put me in a sweater mood! Time to go knit all the sweaters!

[@brenna1066]

I love using Rav stash as a way to check online orders as well - I’ll add the stash once it’s paid for and once it arrives it gets a picture! Such cute bags from awesome granny 😍

[@traceyhallemeyer7590]

I don’t know how you knit so many things so fast. You’re my knitting inspiration!

[@Ashton89Little]

William Kent Krueger is such a great author. I think you will enjoy his writing. This Tender Land by him was my favorite read last year!

[@dianegiannini8968]

I bagged up all my yarn into large ziplocs a few years ago but now I think I have to go organize it by color or holidays. Almost all of my stash is sock weight. Thanks for the inspiration, Love the Christmas bags.

[@jacquelinesharp7374]

I don’t want to admit how long it has taken me to almost finish my first sock so far. But it is the best I have done in all my tries and I am excited to get it and its partner done. I can always use a project bag or more stitch markers as I use those for small projects.

[@CorrinaCreates]

The sweater for your niece is amazing! I love the cowl too, great way to use scraps 😊

[@efenwick8608]

Did you say your 50th pair of socks?!? Bravo my friend! 🙌 Love summer sock camp - I’ve knit 4 pairs already (a lot for me). That zip bag with the animal faces is the absolute cutest!🐻🦊🐻‍❄️🎄

[@melsharp4613]

Your jumper for your niece is gorgeous! The pink and black look so good together!

[@AbigailEhresman]

I love your idea of making matching scrappy projects🤩! Definitely giving me some fun ideas for projects!!😊

[@kathysmotryski2437]

You inspire me. Sock camp gave me the initiative to knit socks for the entire family. Four pairs done. Two more to go. Love it.

[@user-mi8iu1ns9h]

I am knitting a cozy memory blanket. I have just learned how to knit the pattern that you are used for your cozy memory blanket. It's so fun.😊

[@knitnowswatchlater6573]

The number of socks you have knit for the year is amazing!! I am also excited to see the organized yarn. I am only interested in entering for the project bag 🥰

[@shelleycraft4273]

Lilly’s sweater is stunning! I bet you’ve knit more socks this year than anyone on the planet!😁

[@kathyirwin8716]

I went through my stash not that long ago and it felt so good to organize it and see what was hiding at the back of the cubbies 😊 Now it’s easier to knit more from stash ❤

[@nicoledulk345]

Another great episode Kay!! I absolutely love the sweater you’re knitting for your niece. You also inspire me to continue on my sock knitting journey.

[@user-hw2ut8ic4y]

I had surgery on my hand in May and haven't been able to knit for a while. I'm so excited that this week I was finally able to get needles back in my hands and completed my first sock since my surgery. Watching you over these weeks has brought me joy and kept me motivated to get back to knitting.

[@gladyswoelm4918]

I love the beautiful blue socks you are making for Wyatt. So pretty. If I should by chance win a prize this week I would love the snow man bag. Hope you have a great time with your Grandma!

[@StaceyBeach-wu6no]

Good luck organizing the stash! I bet there are so many beautiful treasures in there. I love rediscovering skeins I had forgotten!

[@ericallerton809]

❤❤thanks Kay,,,,🎉🎉 Great to catch up,,, Lots of socks!!! Love the cowl,,,and Lily sweater!!!❤ So nice you are getting away ,,,,have fun,,,,, Congratulations to winners,,,, recognize some names,,, 😀 ELAINE 🏠💗

[@jeremykategreenwood]

Good morning Kay! Always love to catch up on your projects. I also knit a sweater for our niece's birthday each year and seeing your black and coral combo has me scheming about next years! Safe travels on your trip and take care, Kate (interested in the holiday bag not the stitch marker set, thank you!)

[@nannevels7534]

I love the scrappy projects you share!!! I have so many indi dyed projects mostly sock left overs! lol! I just finished putting all my stash on Ravelery too. I am glad i did. I love seeing it all there. Its a great reminder of yarns that might get lost in my stash. I would LOVE to win a Bag by Awesome Granny!!! ( Snowman is my fav).... but I would cherish any prize that your shared. God Bless! Safe Travels!

[@wynonacarroll4362]

I am so amazed at the number of pairs of socks you have knitted. I’m a slow knitter so it takes me quite a while to knit a pair. Love you podcast.

[@margiefarley6540]

Congratulations to all the winners. Also trying to get stash organized. A long term project for sure. Love ya.

[@morelsonthetrail6920]

Yay for another one of your podcasts! The progress keepers are cute and the bag with the animals, especially the hedgehogs has my heart.
