Episode 49, New yarn, a trip to our local yarn shop, Four Purls, and lots of finished objects!

[@janetjroberson2581]

Hello from Swansea, Illinois. I knit socks all the time, my daughter calls me the sock monster.

[@threebytheseadesigns]

Ha! I love that name, so cute!

[@michellebee1117]

I always enjoy your videos! Can't wait for your Autumn shop preview...the colors behind you are sooo pretty! Four Purls looks like a lovely, lovely shop!

[@threebytheseadesigns]

Thank you! It is such a great yarn shop and the people there are amazing too! 💕

[@RonnieAnnatiKnits]

It was lovely meeting and chatting with you and your mom at Four Purls. Your yarn is so beautiful, I’m looking forward to the new collection

[@threebytheseadesigns]

Hi Ronnie! It was SO nice to meet you and your friends. My mom said she really enjoyed talking to you and getting to know you a little bit. 💕

[@Yael_heller]

Dear Kim, I get so excited every time you upload a new episode as I enjoy watching you so much. It's so much fun to see all your current and future projects, the color combinations and the inspiration you give. The local yarn shop you visited is so beautiful and I also got to see a picture of your dear mom❤️. I love the GRIM GRINNING GHOST yarn you bring to the shop, I bought it when it was a mystery set and that's actually how we met about a year ago. Can't wait to see the fall collection you guys are putting out soon. Hugs, Yael🧚🏻‍♀️

[@threebytheseadesigns]

Hello Yael, so good to hear from you! I’m glad you enjoyed the episode. Wow, I can’t believe it’s been a year already since we met you and we are so glad we did! My mom and I had a lovely time at the yarn store. We are still praying for you and everyone over there not home yet. 💙

[@tiffanyfletcher8359]

Thanks Kim! I always love seeing your videos!!!

[@threebytheseadesigns]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks! ☺️

[@Liz.Green789]

I had the pleasure of spending time with Laura and JoCarrol last weekend. We talked about you among our many topics. Your trip to Four Purls looks lovely. What pretty colorways you have this week.

[@threebytheseadesigns]

Hi Liz! Aren’t they the best? We all need to get together next time! 🥰

[@threebytheseadesigns]

Thank you! 💕

[@Tinas_Workshop]

Your hat looks great! That cowl is AMAZING and the yarn is sooooo YUMMY.

[@threebytheseadesigns]

Thank you! I am really enjoying the cowl. 💕

[@phyllisweaver8204]

I started knitting in 2016 just because I wanted to make socks. I always have three or more on the needles. Love them😀 thank you for all your hard work.

[@threebytheseadesigns]

They are addicting to make for sure! 😊

[@chrislopez5337]

So glad the fall update has been moved. I’m watching this on Labor Day Monday and thought I had missed it. Now it’s the day before my birthday-which is the same as Gary’s BTW-and what better excuse to shop! 💕💕

[@threebytheseadesigns]

Happy early birthday to you! Mine is on Friday the 13th this year. 🤣 😳

[@chrislopez5337]

@@threebytheseadesigns That will be fun. Happy early birthday to you as well! 🎈🎁🎊

[@ginap7032]

Another great episode! Love, love your Birds of a Feather shawl

[@threebytheseadesigns]

Thank you! 😊

[@beverlysmith1473]

I love all your socks, but the Where You Lead colors are scrumptious!

[@threebytheseadesigns]

Thank you! 😊

[@jenniferapowell]

Grim grinning ghosts on stellina looks soooooooo good!!!!!

[@threebytheseadesigns]

Thanks! I really love our new stellina base. And the sparkle shows up so well on that one!

[@stephhaworth8332]

Hi Kim!!! Love all the socks!!! So good! Love the Halloween yarn and stitch stoppers!! 💜💜💜

[@threebytheseadesigns]

Thank you! 😊

[@stephaniechotos3300]

Your Birds of a Feather is beautiful Kim. I may need to move this pattern up in my queue. It was so lovely meeting you and your mom Dreama while my friends and I were at Four Purls. I’m so glad we decided to stop there on our way back to Ft Lauderdale.

[@threebytheseadesigns]

Thank you! I'm glad you all stopped at Four Purls too! It's always so fun to connect with people and meet in person.

[@pammyers1982]

Your Birds of a Feather is beautiful! Can’t wait for the autumn updates! Love the Freckled Whimsy Sept colorway! The Emma’s yarn you chose for the Emma’s Love shawl are so pretty! It’s going to be a gorgeous shawl!

[@threebytheseadesigns]

Thank you! I’m very excited to start the Emma’s Love. 💕

[@Knittingnana]

Love the colors you chose for your test knit socks! Both the fall colors and the Christmas ones.

[@threebytheseadesigns]

Thank you! It was so fun picking out all the colors.

[@myfourhope]

Oh my gosh the Where you Lead socks and your colors!!

[@threebytheseadesigns]

It’s a really fun pattern! 🍁

[@leahlovestoknit]

My alarm is set for Grim Grinning Ghosts today, can’t wait!! I’m super excited to see the fall yarn preview too. Hearing you talk about Yarn Lounge and seeing the Four Purls footage makes me want to go home lol. I just love it! Thank you for sharing your Where You Lead socks! I appreciate your help with testing so much. Yours are so cozy for fall! And oh my goodness that Christmas version ♥️ I just always love the colors you choose!!!

[@threebytheseadesigns]

You’re welcome, I can’t wait for the Knit People Knit KAL! Four Purls was so fun to visit, next time you are in Florida we have to get together! 🥰

[@leahlovestoknit]

First thing tomorrow morning I’ll be knitting and watching season 1! I would love to get together, I’ll let you know when we come back! Usually we visit May through July so hopefully we can work something out

[@EJNowak]

Love making socks! Can’t knit fast enough 😊 32:04

[@threebytheseadesigns]

Same here! My son Ryan got me watching that show The Flash and when he uses his arms really fast I always think of how many things I could knit if I had his superpowers. 😂😂 And then that started the whole conversation with Ryan imagining a superhero called Knittergirl who somehow knits things to save people. Like how Spider-Man uses his webs. Oh the joys of having teenage boys. 🤣

[@ginnerlucreates1884]

Oh how lucky you are to have a yarn shop near you! It looks amazing and I love Emma’s Yarn! Your shawl and Gary’s hat came out fantastic! I was able to knit 6 pair of socks (lots of interruptions this summer 🥴) but I’m never not knitting socks. Always have a pair on the needles. Thanks for another great episode!

[@threebytheseadesigns]

It really is a great yarn shop and I love Emma’s yarn too. 6 pairs of socks is a great accomplishment. I agree, I always have a pair (or 2 or 3) on the needles! lol

[@graceyj7996]

Oh my goodness that shop looked amazing…so many pretty things and so nice to catch up with friends. I am addicted to sock knitting now and just picked up from the library Summer Lees book The Sock Project. She actually has a chapter on sock fading and I thought of you 😉 I have just flipped through it but already know I want to buy it for my shelf! Love seeing all your projects…great job getting so much off the needles. You are one of my fave yarny podcasters and loved sitting with coffee this morning curled up watching ❤️

[@threebytheseadesigns]

Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed the podcast! I’ve heard of that book, I definitely need to get it. 🥰

[@rachelcole9628]

You are so encouraging! I participated in summer sock camp and I finished 10 socks. It was so fun! I still have 4 on my needles so I will keep going in September to knock them all out. Socks are my Christmas gifts this year.

[@threebytheseadesigns]

That’s amazing! They make the best gifts.

[@teresac.m.355]

The shawl is very pretty.

[@threebytheseadesigns]

Thank you! 🥰

[@jordans2070]

Great podcast! I think your question to us was about socks… I love knitting socks and cycle through knitting ones for myself and my 2 kids. I think next up will be a pair for my son out of a skein if my handspun 🤗. Beautiful shawl!

[@threebytheseadesigns]

Thank you! That’s a good idea to cycle through who you are knitting for. I might have to try that! 😊

[@O1iviaR]

I love making socks and Musselburghs (yours turned out amazing!). I need to cast on my next one and have several pairs of socks on the needles at the moment. I just finished one lasy pair for SSC. Your shawls are beautiful, and I look forward to the fall update in a few weeks! You looked so lovely in this episode! 💕

[@threebytheseadesigns]

Thank you! 🥰 I can’t wait to share all the Fall things soon!

[@rebeccacuppett7448]

Can’t wait for Grim Grinning Ghosts- I regretted not getting it last year! And I’m totally making a two toned Musselborough- I love yours so much!

[@threebytheseadesigns]

Thanks! I definitely recommend making the hat with two yarns. It was fun!

[@pammyers1982]

I’m not a crazy sock knitter, but I do enjoy making them. I made three pairs for Summer Sock Camp and one for Summer Sock Week this year. Quite proud of myself. 🤩

[@threebytheseadesigns]

That is something to be proud of for sure! 🧦

[@bettyhakucsa6297]

Love making socks and doing Summer Sock Camp

[@threebytheseadesigns]

Me too! 🧦💕

[@kellyb739]

Please bring back old red barn 😍😍!

[@threebytheseadesigns]

Lots of people have been asking for it so we might just have to bring it back soon! 🥰

[@heatherscountrycrochet1986]

My husband has family that lives in lake Hamilton. We are going to be going down for a visit sometime soon. I would love to meet you in person when we do. I also have plans to check out four purls yarn shop when we come.

[@threebytheseadesigns]

That sounds like fun! Let me know when you plan to visit and we can get together!

[@heatherscountrycrochet1986]

@@threebytheseadesigns will do

[@teenacarter7282]

I managed 7 pairs of socks for Summer Sock Camp! I almost had 8 but didn’t quite get the second one done lol

[@threebytheseadesigns]

That’s amazing! 💕🧦

[@stephaniereid23]

Believe it or not, as I was watching your podcast, I was knitting on a pair of socks using Old Red Barn! Turning out beautifully, BUT when I saw Old Red Barn made up in your Herd's the Word cowl, I was sorely tempted to frog and and use it for that!! Any chance you'll be bringing that back some time? Would love a matching sock/cowl set..... (hint, hint)!

[@threebytheseadesigns]

We’ve had requests to bring it back so it’s very possible it might come back soon!

[@shamszakhour6076]

Your new stellina looks really nice. No Halloween bags??? :(

[@threebytheseadesigns]

@@shamszakhour6076 thank you! We will have Fall and Halloween project bags in our big shop update on Sept 14th. 🥰

[@laciechurch211]

Good morning, can I ask wat is that color way behind u? It is the 2nd section under that white plastic looking maybe foot? Lol it's purple and blue and pink. The ones not right under the clear tote but right beside it.

[@threebytheseadesigns]

It’s called Monster Mash. You will see it in the preview video that should upload tonight! 🎃

[@GayleGrot]

I can never find info that you say is listed ‘below’. Please advise.

[@threebytheseadesigns]

It depends on what you are using to watch the video. It’s easier to access the ‘more’ button if you use a phone or tablet. Down below the video next to the channel info, tap more (two different times) and it should bring up the info. I hope this helps!
