Happy summer sock camp😎

[@JustFluffyQuiltingYarnCrafts]

Your yarn choices were so beautiful to look at. You could tell your family that you are on a Summer Sock Camp strike that requires you to knit through ALL the chosen yarns. While the Camp is running, cooking, laundry, and house cleaning will be done by everyone, except you. 😉😂 Augusta did such a nice job with her little convertible purse. I always enjoy seeing kids be creative using their hands and minds. 😍❤

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

That is the perfect rule! Must take effect at once🤩

[@tiffanyfletcher8359]

I love your happy, positive energy! And I’m just as excited for summer sock knitting as you are! I watch you from North Carolina in the US!

[@MaryImmesberger]

Same from me. I watch from very, very hot S.W. Florida & will happily join sock camp.

[@dreamacraddock6973]

A visit with you is always such a delight! I thoroughly enjoy your podcast, Malene, and sewing how much you enjoy knitting and yarn colors. Enjoy your SSC knitting!

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Thank you so much Dreama🤗 Big hugs to you and the family. I’m really excited for the shop update on the 8th🤩😍

[@ericallerton809]

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

[@JoanneOwen-dh1kc]

Happy Summer Sock Camp!!!

[@khabsamum6074]

That basket of yarn just makes me so happy. Its beautiful

[@ColoradoKai]

You are such a beautiful human being....your podcast and vlogs always brings me joy. Happy summer Sock Camp! 😁

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Thank you for your very kind and sweet words!🎵💖

[@annetricocool9960]

I'm admiring you being able to sew so many projects bags and adjusting and finishing your daughter's outfit just before hosting the cast-on party. When I sew last minute, I always mess it up. So, I only sewed one project bag (a pattern I sewed many times but always gifted), at least I have mine. I cast-on The Helium paiir of socks on friday, but as the cuff requires attention and a cable needle, I mostly knitted my wip pair of vanilla socks in the doctor's waiting room, and saturday in the emergency waiting room of our local hospital (for my son, but he is ok). The hospital is located near my local yarn shop and I treated me with 3 balls of self-striping summer sock yarn (a blend of cotton and bamboo) from Lana Grossa meilenweit and couldn't wait to cast it on (Wild Thyme pattern of This handmade life). As I looked your podcast I waved the ends of my first finished pair of socks (the vanilla socks). Let's enjoy the summer sock camp.

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Sounds like the perfect reason to treat yourself to some yarn. I’m happy to hear your son is ok!

[@MelBassett-yb9xg]

Summer sock camp! Yay!🎉🎉 😹 I'm so excited to.join in this year. I am a 1978 baby too! And I'm loving all the 80's 90's colours. Your Bona yarn reminds me of tutti-fruitti colours!💕 Have a good week. Xx

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Thank you and you too🎵💖

[@TinNC]

Good morning! I have enjoyed your video so much. Your bags are lovely! Summer Sock Camp will be fun.🎉

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Thank you💖

[@gypsyqueencrafts36]

Hi. I have cast on a new pair for Summer Sock camp. It is my third pair and I am very excited to see them finished. Your beautiful colours of sock wool brought me so much joy. Thank you. Hx 💕🧶🧵🇬🇧

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Thank you so much🎵💖 Socks are just so much fun🤩

[@annakatris3583]

Hello Malene, your yarns are so beautiful n colourfull. Good luck with SSC enjoy. 🧦🧶

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Thank you🎵💖Happy Knitting!

[@gwenmurillo1093]

Love all your beautiful bags and the pretty yarn. Can't wait to see your knitting...from Southern Iowa in the USA.

[@knitty781]

Everything to do with our craft is to make us happy! Plain natural yarn keeps us just as warm as beautiful colors and stripes. Plain stockinette works as well as cables, mosaic, or lace. We all are working to make our lives colorful and beautiful! I love your beautiful summer sock yarn colors! The basket looks like a day at the beach!

[@Charlotterytter]

Wao! love your patchwork bag 😍

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Tak søde Charlotte😍

[@Woollykindknits]

Your patchwork bag is pure delight! And perfectly paired with the Bona Yarn. I've cast on some neon and black swirlywoo socks for my first Summer Sock Camp. So fun!

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Happy first SSC☀️🧦🏕️

[@Woollykindknits]

@@ThePlayfulKnitter thank you 😘😘😘

[@Tinas_Workshop]

Love both of your popcorn 🍿 bags and the patchwork one came out super cute. I feel your pain, I lost both of my parents to cancer and my father in law and so many more and my aunt is currently in her fourth battle with it. Love all your summer peek a boo bags, the fabric is right up my alley.

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

I’m so sorry for your loss!❤️❤️

[@susanwestfall5519]

Watching from Birmingham, Alabama. I love your outfit.

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Thank you🎵💖

[@carin.zwaneveld]

What fun you had with your friends. Love the yarn you picked for summer sock camp. The one with the micro stripe looks like so much fun.

[@Su_ohne_a]

Those bags are beautiful! I would totally buy one if you decide to sell them! Happy summer sock camp🎉

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Thank you! I do sell them already. But only on Instagram. When ever there are some available, I post them on @bagsbytheplayfulknitter 😊

[@Su_ohne_a]

Thank you. See you there😊

[@Horslevstrik]

Igen tak for så hyggelig en eftermiddag ❤

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Det har fantastisk skønt at hygge sammen med jer🤗

[@wendyknopp1252]

Hello! I'm working on an old sock wip and casting on a couple new ones too.

[@joannekon545]

I have quite a number of sock wips that I hope to work on for SSC. Right now, I'm crocheting the border on an Attic24 Moorland blanket that I'm making as a retirement gift for my principal. If only there were more hours in a day!

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Agreed!

[@kabistrikstrikkepodcast]

Har slået op og er igang med strømper. Tak for endnu et inspirerende afsnit😊

[@janetjroberson2581]

Hello from Swansea, Illinois.

[@jessicaolney4900]

I love your Sudoku helper ☺ I cast on a pair of socks today because why not start them earlier than planned, right--they are in a yarn that is crazy Howgarts house colors variegated/microstripes with tweed! You inspired me to get started as I don't count them as WIPs (same as blankets), so my other ones cannot feel left out. Such cheerful colors you have chosen! When I am back from summer travel with the family, I am going to try out Lang yarn's Jawoll for the first time, and make some colorful Summer Lee socks in colors 129 (coral?) and 060 (red, cherry red?). Happy knitting!

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Summer Lee makes such beautiful patterns and Jawoll is a great sock yarn🤩

[@ailienrhijnsburger5178]

Good morning! Lovely colourful picture to invite us to join you with some coffee and my knitting. Lovely Sunday morning treat, thank you

[@SaraM86]

Wauw sådan nogen flotte farver de garner du har fundet frem. Er helt vild med dem. Glæder mig til at se de færdig projekter. Jeg var så heldig at vinde billetterne til Strik i Danmarks Hjerte igennem Karin. Så bliver så fedt at opleve det som nybegynder.

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Fantastisk! Så ses vi i Nyborg😊

[@thedreamknitter]

Tak for skøn vlog.

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Tak søde Ellen🤗

[@kimcharles9627]

Are you planning to follow the Grannies-in-a row sock pattern for any of your socks this summer? I remember you doing them last year at some point and I loved them. I am considering doing them this summer.

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Not this year😊 I love the pattern and the look, but must admit I don’t enjoy the crochet that much. Maybe I could have Ella do the little squares for me🤩

[@linaburke2341]

Just looooove your bags, do you have a tutorial for them? I love the idea of knitting socks but I am so slow.

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Thank you so much😊I haven’t ventured into the world of tutorials, but made my pattern for the peekaboo bags inspired by a tutorial I found here on KZbin. Just search for peekaboo bag😃

[@annotlewski1104]

Another Question- I could not find your heel pattern on Ravelry! Can you tell me how to find it?🤗. You had so much good information on this podcast. Very inspiring!

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Sorry for the late reply. Here’s a link😊💖 www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/wrap-em-all-vanilla-sock

[@randimariejensen8664]

Thank you so much for amazing inspiration it’s such a joy to Watch and get inspired by your colours - i have recently joined the summer Sock Camp and the sommerstrømpestrik and diverse into my yarn stash and packed a trolley with sockyarn 🥰🧶🧶 tak for dig 🥰 du gør det fantastisk 😊

[@orientbayerin]

I can't get enough of all your lovely socks and colors. Enjoy summer sock camp! Greetings from Bavaria, Susanne

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Thank you so much Susanne! The very best summer sock camp to you too☀️🧦🏕️

[@anettebremsbanke2760]

Det er sådan nogle skønne tasker, du har syet 🤩 Jeg håber, din datter havde et skønt karneval 💫 Tak for en hyggelig snak om garn og farver 🌈

[@lindashields5939]

Good Sunday morning! Oh your popcorn bags just made me giggle. - they’re absolutely perfect! I’ve made my summer sock camp basket. I have bags filled with caked yarn, notions, needles, and patterns. (Everything is subject to change depending on how the wind blows 😜) Thanks for a lovely Sunday morning watching you and knitting on a Sock Camp sock. Until the next time. Happy knitting. Salam wa sa’aadah

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

That sounds absolutely lovely 🤩

[@nancycollins2823]

I'm loving all your yark picks for SSC! And your bags are fun, too. Especially the popcorn bag. I may have to copy you! That Bona Yarns is perfect. I'm finishing up a chicken (of Emotional Support variety) before I'm starting my socks.

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Everyone needs an Emotional Support Chicken🐔🤩

[@threebytheseadesigns]

Your popcorn project bags are sooooo cute! ❤

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Thank you so much🤗🍿

[@annotlewski1104]

Great episode! I’m doing Summer Sock Camp also. Where can I get a pattern to sew a Peek-a-Boo progress bag? Thanks!

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

I made up my version the pattern with my own measurements from a diy I found on KZbin. I just searched for peek a boo bag😊

[@bevsanchez-parodi1617]

I always enjoy your podcasts. I just purchased the “Wrap ‘em all vanilla sock” pattern. I really want to try this heel. I also wanted to support breast cancer research. I am a 21 year survivor!

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Thank you so much! I’m so happy to hear you are ok💖

[@ToveWadseth]

Takk for inspirasjon, sokker er gøy å strikke
