[@leslielarson-vz3uf]

I’m a little late to respond But I am enjoying Agatha all along on Disney+. I love your hair, thinking of taking my own plunge. Thank you for sharing 😊

[@kickerknit]

Hair is very flattering; good job.

[@OllieandBella]

Thank you! 😊 💖

[@roseb4988]

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

[@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

[@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 💖

[@lisaporch8922]

Oh I wanted the hurkle durkle so bad but the shipping to Canada is insane 😢

[@OllieandBella]

Yeah I think I looked at shipping from Canada and it was quite a bit 💖 Thank you for watching 💖

[@Penelope_and_the_Squish]

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 💖

[@joshuahollykindness9168]

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 💖

[@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!! 💖

[@maureenlehman139]

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

[@susangoodman2144]

What a lovely surprise to see another episode so soon! Your hair looks great, a change like that is fun. Love all your wips, blanket updates and FOs. Along with book reviews! Happy Mother’s Day

[@FibreBound]

[@OllieandBella]

Aww thank you Moran for your kind words 🥰💖 I’m just about to make myself a lovely hot drink and settle down and watch your vlog 💓😘 x

[@kelliwaite7159]

Absolutely love your hair! Really compliments your face shape💕 Great episode….Just joined your Patreon 🎉. Have a great week everyone.

[@paulafralick2905]

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

[@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 💖

[@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 😂💖

[@cocoandflora6542]

I always buy myself a Mother’s Day present too😊 this year I bought a sewing pattern xx

[@OllieandBella]

Wonderful!!! 💖

[@KatoYarnCompany]

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

[@OllieandBella]

Fab!! 🥰😂💖

[@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💖

[@MrsEmin16]

Love the hair 😍🫶🏽

[@OllieandBella]

Thank you 💖

[@Lucy-qm2re]

I love my socks to be snug. Enjoy your podcast immensely. Finished reading The Last Bookshop In London. Now reading Homefront.

[@kittykatsknitplace69]

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

[@EllenMarie1999]

Your hair looks lovely! It really suits you! 💕

[@OllieandBella]

Thank you 💖

[@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💖

[@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. 🧦🧶🧦

[@debbiestuckey6599]

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

[@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 💖

[@ericallerton809]

❤great new hair !!!sherrie🎉 Still working on cozy. Ina socks!!!almost done!! Working on blankets too!!!!almost finished one!!! Enjoyed the mal to get me motivated!!! Gingerbread was one of my favs from wys Elaine 🏠🎉🧦

[@OllieandBella]

Thank you Elaine, I just want to knit in socks and blankets too 😂💖

[@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?💖

[@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 💖

[@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)
