Love your hair Sherrie! I normally knit my socks on 2.25 for a snug fit, at the moment I’m trying to read all of Alice Feeney books 📕 💗

[@OllieandBella]

Thank you 🥰 Oh I don’t think I’ve heard of her, will have a look on Goodreads 💖

Cute hair my daughter (who’s a hair dresser), cute mine like that last week. 2.25mm all the way. Such a nice catch up, loving all the book recommendations too. 💕

[@OllieandBella]

Thank you Holly, how lucky your daughter is hairdresser! Ohh nice, are you enjoying shorter hair? Thanks for watching 💖

[@lavendercottagefibrearts]

i love all your sock projects. i think the Christmas jammies yarn is my favourite! i have admired molly's yarns from afar (Australia) for a few years now. i think this year might be the year I treat myself to her advent.

[@OllieandBella]

Exciting!! Molly’s yarn is gorgeous, I love her soft sock base so nice to knit with 💖

[@maureenlehman139]

I knit my socks on 2.25. I like a snug fit. Your hair looks fantastic!

[@debbiestuckey6599]

Hi Sherrie. I like my socks to be snug. I can't stand baggy loose socks. Lol. Thank you for sharing today. ❤

[@jennydawson1281]

Hi SherriI like my socks on the snug side I’m joining in the socks and book Cal by earthtones girl and I’ve just finished listening to the women which was amazing. Also just read Oversharing by Jane Fallon which I picked up in the supermarket. I actually read it really quickly an easy read and now listening to Kate Morton’s homecoming on audible new over to me, and really enjoying that.I have way more than 4 sock wips I keep getting bored and want to cast on new colour ways !

[@OllieandBella]

Oh fab! It's lovely when you have a good audio book to listen to and you're able to sit quietly and knit. It's a real treat which I love to do💖

[@warmandpugly]

That hairstyle so suits you 🤩 love it! Lovely episode as always. I’m a 2.25mm girl now. Find the snugger fit much more comfortable and less slippy around the heel. 🧦 🧶

[@OllieandBella]

Thank you, yes I think I might be a 2.25 girl now as well, I like the denser fabric it creates!💖

[@roseb4988]

Love your hair Sherrie, it looks great. I like knitting my socks on 2.5 needles 🧶

[@QuietlyCraftyLindaC]

Your haircut is fabulous. It truly suits you. Absolutely great job on getting the Mother's Day yarn - it's beautiful!! How can anyone resist a yarn called Herkle-Derkle? ❤

[@OllieandBella]

Thank you!💖

[@lorrainekrahn4498]

I’m new to your blog; where are you from.? And hello from northern British Columbia, Canada

[@OllieandBella]

Hello 💖 I’m very the Westcountry in UK 🇬🇧 I’d love to visit Canada one day 💖

[@lorrainekrahn4498]

@@OllieandBella you might want to plan on more than one day. Canada is big. VERY big. My husband’s siblings also live in the same province and are a 19 hour drive away (16 if my husband drives)

[@allyinsweatpants]

I loooove snug socks 🥰 My boyfriend is not at all a reader but I bought him never lie and he’s half way through! I’m going to read it after him :) I’m currently reading “Spring on the Little Cornish Isles: The Flower Farm” by Phillipa Ashley for a fun little seasonal read 🌸

[@heathertucker7056]

Love your new hair cut! It really suits you. Love all those socks and blankets too. I actually like my socks a little slouchy! Probably not the most popular but too snug socks- especially around the cuff are a big no for me! Take care x

[@kittykatsknitplace68]

I'm a tight knitter so I use 2.75mm and like a snug it hugs

[@craftywool]

I love all your makes! Sorry just catching up!! All the best with your Patreon, I am going to check it out now! :) Adam xx

[@OllieandBella]

Thank you!! 💖

[@sarahadams6881]

Love the hair! Your Gary Barlow question made me laugh! He is from Cheshire but accent is Mancunian. I’ve just started reading The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, loving it so far. I too have a very full bookshelf and trying to work through them…then I’m going to try and use the local library more. Love your works in progress, lots of socks!! Xx

[@OllieandBella]

Thank you Sarah 💖 I really liked The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. Thanks for watching 💖

[@pattyskaggs2168]

I’ve knit my socks 64 stitches on 2.5 mm, but have noticed that I’m not liking when they feel loose on my foot after having on for just a little while. I have heard so many sock knitters say they are knitting with 2.25 mm, so decided to give it a try on my last pair of socks….they are shorties, so haven’t given them a good wear yet, but they feel nice and snug on my foot. I guess I’d say the jury is still out on this for me. 😏🧦❤️🧦

[@OllieandBella]

Yes, that's exactly what I was finding. The socks would loosen with wear, which wasn't too bad if I was just around the house but if I put my shoes on I was finding they weren't sitting nicely in my shoes. How are you finding the shorties?💖

[@juliejealous632]

Your hair looks lovely. I start my sock on a 2.5mm and knit down to the heel turn before changing to a 2.25mm to complete the sock. I prefer the snugger fit on the foot and less snug on the leg.

[@OllieandBella]

Thank you 🥰 oh yes what a great idea about using different sizes for different parts of the foot/leg! I might have to give that try, the only thing is I have a terrible memory so may forget what size I’m on 😂💖

[@MrsEmin16]

Love the hair 😍🫶🏽

[@OllieandBella]

Thank you 💖

[@paulafralick2905]

I always use 2.25mmneedles for my socks unless the sock yarn is very plump, like Kroy sock yarn.

[@EvieO1950]

Love your new hair cut!! Congrats on launching Patreon. So many pretty WIPs. Love the slipper socks!! I like my socks snug and I’m hoping they’ll last better if they fit better. 🧦🧶🧦

[@FibreBound]

So lovely to see you again so soon Sherrie! 💗

[@abbywelker-HaciendaHomemade]

😃👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 yay!!!!! Another podcast! I love your hair - and your projects are so beautiful!!! The book I'm trying to finish today is "Hello Beautiful" by Ann Napolitano and it's been SO good. ❤

[@OllieandBella]

Thank you 💖

[@janecopeland2306]

I love your haircut. It looks really great on you. I prefer my socks snug. I am relatively new to sock knitting but I really enjoy it. I just finished a pair for my son and he loves them. I must say that knitting for a men's size 11 (Canadian sizes) footis a lot different than knitting for a woman's!

[@OllieandBella]

Thank you Jane 💖 Oh wow yes I bet it's a lot more knitting! Great for practising though💖

[@darlenewatkins4999]

LOVE your new hair style!!! I prefer my socks on the snug side. I am currently reading Last Summer at Chelsea Beach. :)

[@OllieandBella]

Thank you Darlene 💖

[@KatoYarnCompany]

No judgement on multiple sock items! I think I have 5 or 6.

[@OllieandBella]

Fab!! 🥰😂💖
