I agree completely. Buy the pattern . Support the designer. Your socks are beautiful. Love your chatting. Thank you.🌻

[@janeybeasley9525]

Thank you showing us how you use the shorty needles I have just got a set for doing the sleeves of the sock cardigan but haven’t tried them yet. The sock cardigan was my summer project but I developed cataracts and was finding it hard to see the coloured chart but I had the operation to put a new lens in my eye on Wednesday and already (saturday) my sight is so much better that I think I can get back to that project yay🎉. I agree about not sharing patterns and I’m glad to hear you saying that. It’s so hard to make any money from creative work so we need to support designers. Also I hate maths so I’m always very grateful for other people who do the hard work of making the pattern for me! I’m looking forward to hearing about the MAL for K2P2 as I’m also planning what I can wear to the event! Have a good weekend ❤

[@itisasarah]

Happy to hear your sight is already better. So important for our knitting! Looking forward to meet you at K2P2 🤎

[@rachelbonner-ed5ux]

It is heart jumping for me when I see you have a longer video! More Sarah means more fun and more knitting in my day! Thank you for sharing your crafty adventures.

[@debracubitt6191]

I really like both your knitted socks 😊 Sarah and I enjoy your channel THANK YOU

[@jennyp7084]

Congratulations proud crafting mother! Your daughter’s crochet projects are darling. Lovely episode. Thank you.

[@dianetaylor4791]

I used to really love the Si Señorita music and miss it so much. I hope that you will be able to find it again. Your daughter is very talented and you must be so proud of her.

[@itisasarah]

I did found it 🤓

[@dianetaylor4791]

@@itisasarah That's fantastic! I'm so pleased 😊💕

[@UFO13957]

What a Heart jumping morning with your Podcast. Thank you 🤗🍀

[@Stumpybear7640]

Hi Sarah, I loved the Chris Haugen tune! Si Senorita made me make a coffee and grab my knitting😂 Loving your fab makes❤

[@noblecharactercrafts]

I’m joining in the Colorwork Cuff Club too! I just finished my socks and I’m so excited about them. It’s always a joy to spend time with you, Sarah! ~Amy

[@jutta4286]

Another wonderful episode, dear Sarah 😊. You love to talk and I love to listen to you..and time flys by😂.. Your daughter is such a creative person❤

[@jillybeandean]

Thanks for your episode today. I love your daughter’s book cover. It’s so nice when your kids enjoy some of the same things you do. My youngest daughter was interested in sewing (I am pretty much only a knitter). She was taking a class at school and she decided to use an old tablecloth of her grandmother’s to make a purse or handbag. It was very well done and gave a fabric, which contained lots of memories, a new life. It was a proud mama moment. 😊 I enjoy your chatty episodes. I am a chatty person myself and it is cheering to listen to you. Thank you!

[@leitesta1725]

I love your lesson that sometimes the little parts don’t look so good at the close up level, but when you see the whole, it always works out! Like a beautiful, scrappy quilt!! Like a good life! ❤ thank you so much Sarah!

[@cherylcameron9972]

Can’t wait to see the finished little cotton rabbits

[@thekindles1183]

Completely agree about buying the pattern. I love that Christmas Dream- christmas breakfast and walk in the stripey sweaters. Perfect~ All the best, Kimberly

[@staceyh2028]

I love your podcasts so much! Thank you for reminding us to focus on the things that are heart jumping and not the things that aren't. I also appreciate your little nuggets of wisdom and inspiration you draw from knitting/crochet into life lessons. They are always so interesting. Thank you!! 🥰

[@happyhandsknittingpodcast]

My daughter also crocheted her friend a pair of shorts which made me so happy!

[@xusblasco5563]

Definitely this was an absolutely enjoyable and truly enjoyed Video. Thanks, Sarah!!! Have a lovely week 🤎🧶 Your daughter does adorable things! 🍃💞

[@gemineyyy]

I love an extra long Sarah episode❤

[@AnneWiley-vp5rj]

The crochet book cover is so clever. Also love the camping night colors with your new sock pattern.

[@cathyannpaape3506]

you talked me into buying the sock pattern!😂 I haven't made socks in a while and this sounds fun. thanks

[@elaineenstone6834]

As always it was a pleasure to sit and knit whilst you filled the screen with your wonderful knits. I too have bought the Summer Lee sock along patterns and am looking forward to starting to knit one of them when I have mastered colour knitting. Currently practicing on a hat. 🇬🇧

[@charcro]

Hello from the UK! Your daughter's work is fantastic! You must be so proud.

[@mendyviola]

I’m making my first pair of socks with a German Twist (Norwegian) cast on. It’s similar to a long tail cast on, but stretchier.

[@carmoafonso7651]

I agree with you about pattern sharing never share patterns either Love your socks

[@PamKnitsToo]

As always, love your podcast! I have started the Summer Lee sock challenge as well. I love her socks and color choices but she is not helpful if you have a question. I was trying to knit her Mermaid Avenue socks and was confused about something. I emailed her several times but she never got back to me. Very disappointing. I have the yarn for the August sock with the flowers but haven’t started yet. Thank you for mentioning her - she’s very talented. Congratulations on your daughter’s success in knitting and crocheting. Hie wonderful for you two to share your crafting.

[@QueenAnneKnitsandSews]

Hello from Ohio in the United States! I love, love, the granny stripe sock! I looks perfect for you 🧡💛🤎

[@debracubitt6191]

I think we need to remember that the designers sell patterns for income because they put time and effort into their designs. This is their creative effort and should be appreciated and respected. Simply my thought...

[@catherinecunningham7126]

I totally agree Sarah about supporting designers, I never give away a paid for pattern. I do what you do and send a link (it doesn’t always go over well with some “friends” but I don’t worry about that). Your daughter’s crocheting is beautiful! I’m so excited for you on the camper van! As I’ve mentioned we loved ours!!! 🌸🌼🌻

[@debracubitt6191]

I am pleased you talk about the feel of the yarn in the warm weather Sarah! My hands are hot and sweaty 😓 Some yarns are uncomfortable for hot hands!!

[@KimLomQld]

Its always so inspiring to watch Sarah talk about " all the yarny thing's ". I certainly love that scrappy jumper, so thank you for sharing that pattern suggestion I think your daughter is just so clever with what she is doing with her own " crafty adventures". Ive just knit my first wrap n turn sock, and i think Ive found my style" Oh no, i must say I always associate your intro music with " Ahhh, sit down and watch Sarah" its all ok, we will get to recognise the new " Sarahs theme" 😅😊

[@heather5196]

Good on you for pointing out that we should purchase patterns and not share them with friends or family. I’ll add to that by saying we should also acknowledge our sources for inspiration. For example, when I blog about my version of your Prague blanket, I will link to your KZbin channel. I will also link to the original Fireside Blanket pattern and tutorial for the layout of the Prague blanket and for the real Fireside blanket which I am just about to finish up (yay). We need to share the love, and acknowledge sources! It’s only fair and ethical to do so. I love the Fireside blanket so much that I am about to make a second one, using the recommended yarn, that I purchased online from the UK. I’m in Australia and it only took a few days to arrive here.

[@travelingpurls4989]

Love spending a little time with you. I also bought Summer Lee's new sock club patterns. Working on my granny stripe one now and can't wait to do the flower pattern next!

[@frooken.]

🎉 perfect idea, I will figure out how to download Si, Senorita and use it as a ring tone or for the timer at my phone. so, I will never be without it 😂

[@itisasarah]

Great idea 😍

[@denisedejose718]

Sarah! I could see you using that knit “ granny stripe” colourwork chart in a cardigan one day. It would be a fun way to combine the crochet look with knitting.

[@gmlight56]

The pleats you speak of are actually tucks. And the lace is lace trim. I love how hard you try to speak proper English. You are so sweet and enjoyable to watch. Don’t be so hard on yourself.

[@kathyroalson2534]

I love that your daughter is so interested in knitting and crochet. She is doing wonderful! I just started the Humlebi socks. I always knit my socks cuff down. I am finding starting these is quite fiddly. I was wondering if you could talk about why you like toe up better. What are the pros and cons of each way. You're cute and fun as ever! Thank you!❤

[@itisasarah]

Thank you and a little sock knitting chat is on my list for the next episode 🤎

MUSIC Sin Senorita - Chris Haugen (KZbin) Epidemic Sound

[@smasonoc]

Hi Sarah. Enjoying your podcast. I hope you can find your original music. It made me feel relaxed as soon as I heard it, but I also like your new music. I have always used fixed 9” circs for knitting socks cuff-down. I thought I did not like magic loop. I decided to try toe up socks using magic loop. It is not so bad and I learned the Turkish cast on! I joined the Colorwork Cuff Club and look forward to trying colorwork socks.

[@margarethastings3332]

Always a pleasure to sit in your company for an hour or so. I do miss your original intro music which I immediately associate with you. I hope you can find it again. Absolutely love the Summer Lee sock design. It shows off your colours so much better. I enjoy her podcasts too. She is so inspiring. You could always use your single sock for a Christmas stocking 😅. Your daughter is doing some very fine work for one so young. She takes after her mama. I’m looking forward to seeing your cardigan plan. 🤎🤎🤎

[@yvonnay8904]

Lace trim.i like that you find the good out of a mistake.

[@claudinevandamme4809]

Hello vanuit Zuid Afrika..ik ben Belgiës maar leef in sa. Heb nu juist uwe video gevonden....vind je video plezant... speciaal met de rok!! .Oh ja , wij zeggen op kot in t' Vlaams 😊😊 leuke konijn.

[@lindawilcox6617]

I never share paid patterns, either!

[@rosemarymoolman6765]

Hi Sarah, I love the top that you are wearing. Lint in English is ribbon.. If that helps!

Great 👍🏻...sóóó Sarah! ❤

[@itisasarah]

Thank you ❤️‍🔥

[@laurielortz7387]

Hi Sarah. I have a question about your leg warmers (been warmer) pattern on Ravelry. I’m wondering how long (tall) you made them? I’m going to make some for this Fall/Winter. I like your pattern style because they look slouchy! Thank you❣

[@itisasarah]

I love slouchy legwarmers! I will tell you more about them in next episode 🤎

[@knitnut246connie7]

We use “ cm “ in Canada also. I think USA are the only country in the world that refuse to use metric 😵‍💫🧐❤️🇨🇦❤️

[@KimLomQld]

It's a nightmare converting yards into metres for fabric too ! 😵‍💫

[@toosilverme]

Metric is so simple based on 10s. We love to make it hard on ourselves, I guess...I also used picas for years in the print industry. Smaller increments are also easier to work with!

[@heather5196]

I’m a patchworker too, from Australia. We use inches. I just can’t get my head around centimetres!

[@debracubitt6191]

What if the second sock you knit created a heart jumping moment for someone you gave the sock pair to, Sarah? Just a thought 😊

[@debracubitt6191]

You may come back to the second sock... 🎉🎉🎉
