Love the pizza socks!

[@meeshyfrazzknits]

Thanks! They're so fun!

[@MsMegil]

For your pizza sock: turn the sock inside out so that the stocking stitch is on the inside, floats side out, needle side up. Orient your knitting so that when you look down inside the sock from the top your needles are at the back., furthest away from you. Just knit your socks like this, inside out. That will help because your floats will be stretched around the outside, not the inside, therefore will be just a bit longer / looser.

[@meeshyfrazzknits]

That's a great idea, thanks for the tip!

[@margaretsparksrittenhouse8787]

Love the socks! You also knit so productively, it inspires me.

[@meeshyfrazzknits]

Oh thank you! That's so nice to hear.

[@ANdmadeco]

Your Robinia is looking so good! Can’t wait to see it on!!!

[@meeshyfrazzknits]

Thank you!! It's sooooo close!

[@stephanienorwicz1366]

All of your work is gorgeous - can't wait to see how the socks turn out! Your Weekender light looks great on you - perfect color and really makes me want to knit one. Also thanks for sharing the Janet Hill book, I'll need to check that it, looks fun.

[@meeshyfrazzknits]

Thank you so much! It's definitely a great pattern and I recommend knitting one for yourself.

[@NorthBoundaryKnits]

I would totally buy a pattern with pizza and cats! My brother would love them!!

[@meeshyfrazzknits]

That's good to know!! I guess there are a lot of cat & pizza loving folks out there! 😊

[@HappilyKnitted]

the pizza socks are great!

[@meeshyfrazzknits]

Thank you!!

You could check your gauge between the finished sleeve and the body And see if it’s any different. When we switch to smaller circumference knitting or shorty tips, our gauge tends to tighten up. That could be why the stitches aren’t gliding so nicely on your needles. Some people have to go up a whole needle size on the sleeves vs the body or, in your case, switching needle material might’ve been worth it(?) Just a thought 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@meeshyfrazzknits]

I suspected it might be the gauge too, but there doesn't seem to be much difference. Could be a combination, I suppose!

[@QueensYarnBoutique]

Love the colors of your Weekender Light and Robinia Sweater. 🧶Bagel playing with the ornamentals is hilarious!😹

[@meeshyfrazzknits]

[@Knit_me_a_story]

[@meeshyfrazzknits]

[@blakecroissant5856]

Please make Thomas’s good time socks! If you ever made it a pattern, I’d knit one for my partner. Thanks for another great podcast.

[@meeshyfrazzknits]

I'll keep that in mind! Thanks! 😊

[@meganhammond9101]

Am loving that weekender light. I've been looking for something boat neck-esque shaped! May I ask what sweater is on the mannequin? Thank you for the video! Loved the kitty visitor.

[@meeshyfrazzknits]

Thank you! The sweater on the mannequin is my Prismatic Reflection sweater: www.ravelry.com/projects/meeshyfrazz/prismatic-reflection-sweater

[@EileenK64]

I’m amazed at how you design things. Can you tell me what “meeshyfrazz” means? 😃

[@meeshyfrazzknits]

Thanks so much! It's basically two of my nicknames combined (my family calls me meeshy, and work friends have often called me frazz). Not the most creative, but it's been my handle for years now and it just kind of stuck!

[@EileenK64]

@@meeshyfrazzknits Ah okay, thanks! It's a fun name! The only nickname I've ever had is Bean, when I was a kid. Boring. 🙂
