Socks are my favorite mindless project. I love that I can pick some pretty outlandish colors and it’s okay because they’re only socks. 🧦 🤷🏼‍♀️🥰

[@WellLovedKnits]

Oh I should do that!! I gravitate to neutrals but have been slowly trying to bring more color to my wardrobe. That would be the best way to start 😊

[@nikibieni1208]

Loved the chatty video. Love from Austria 🤗

[@WellLovedKnits]

💕💕💕

[@thomask.6235]

ahhhhhh i adore knitting along to your videos :) its so nice to jsut hear you talk while i work!

[@WellLovedKnits]

That’s so awesome - thank you for chatting with me 😊

[@laurabarilla1860]

Thank you for your chatting, feels like having company while crocheting/knitting 😊

[@aspengrey1898]

I thought she lived in UK but she actually lives in Belgium and in Brussels like me. I wonder which commune she lives in.

[@smallfootprint2961]

Trying to get the courage to make sox. I'm chicken, so just have to get the stuff together and do it. Btw.. That green is my favorite. Not paired well with the white/gray. You are obviously a blue person. That's why it looks ugly to you. I like the color for you, but to each his own.

[@natalielove1002]

I am SUPER into the mohair top!! Would totally buy the pattern once it's complete!

[@sherirohler6553]

Just love your videos!! I'm working on my first knitted cardigan. Love the sign behind your head "Can I do without it". My goal this year is to start and finish a sweater. I get bored easily with it and take it apart. Ive yet to find a pattern in happy with. Happy knitting.

[@WellLovedKnits]

At the very least it sounds like you’re getting a lot of practice in! I think it’s good to be picky about what you make, because then once you figure out what you want you know you’re going to love it for a long time :)

[@T139w]

I'm not sure if you will still remember, but what shade is the red drops alpaca in?

[@MeMadeMusings]

Goedemorgen! Tof kanaal, leuke en informatieve video's waar ik van geniet als mede-diy'er. Vraagje: de wol die je gebruikt hebt voor de teen en hiel van de sok, wat voor wol is dat(merk+kleur)? Zo'n mooie kleur!! Alvast bedankt :)

[@MeMadeMusings]

Translation: "Goodmorning, as a fellow-diy'er I like your channel and all the nice and informative videos you make. Question: the wool you use for the socks, what wool is that (brand/colour)? I am in love with that colour! Thanks in advance :)

[@lakeshagadson357]

one day i might have to different business one would be knittting and the other one be about writting a book and having some kinda book.career.

[@elenityler8351]

Do you have a pattern you can share on these socks you made?

[@_laurapenrose_]

Very much enjoyed watching this whilst working through miles of Italian bind off! Im usually a DK or lighter knitter but I very much have the urge to work on something chunky after seeing your lovely projects! Xx

[@WellLovedKnits]

Italian bind off is one of those things I want to learn but just keep putting off! And I’m slowly getting myself to knit with smaller needles, it’s just gonna take time 😉

[@_laurapenrose_]

@@WellLovedKnits honestly once you try it you won’t look back! It’s well worth the extra time and actually quite satisfying! It’s taken me about 2 years to get to a point where I enjoy smaller needles, I’m still quite impatient though 😂😂

[@orgusepeti1999]

👏👏👏👏

[@connerayden9090]

dont know if you guys gives a shit but if you're stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch pretty much all the new movies and series on instaflixxer. Been watching with my gf for the last few days :)

[@ahmedmalakai9753]

@Conner Ayden yea, I have been watching on instaflixxer for since december myself :D

[@RenkliTasarmlar]

Harika olmuş emeğine sağlık

[@finassm]

I was so disappointed with the new wave yarn too!! It somehow looks so much better in pictures than IRL. I found a yarn though that looks exactly like the new wave yarn looks like in pictures (if that makes sense 😅), it's Rowan's alpaca softyak dk. I got it in the colorway jaune and it looks like liquid gold!

[@WellLovedKnits]

Yes exactly! That’s really good to know. I like the concept of New Wave yarn, but in reality I feel like it falls a little short

[@courtneyquinn2934]

I really like this format! I painted my nails and had some coffee to hang out :) I don't have insta but I might sign up to get info on testing that tee! Edit: I tried to open your insta + etsy links in the bio and it didn't work? Both just said page not found

[@WellLovedKnits]

I'm so glad!! Also, thanks for letting me know! Gotta fix that then :)

[@m.inavalley]

I love chatty videos

[@alexanderthealexandest4968]

I am actually following your bag tutorial right now! I am about 1/2 way through and am really liking how it’s turning out! It really is a great project to use up unloved yarn. I am exited to see other bags that you create in the future!

[@WellLovedKnits]

I’m so glad! Would love to see the end result :)

[@nathalievandenbergh9587]

Jeeej, iemand uit 🇧🇪. Ik volg je graag, heel gezellig. 😀

[@allisonobrien3961]

Love your blue cardigan. Which specific shade of drops air is the blue? Beautiful color on you!

[@PatientFarmer]

I'm with you on not using stitch markers when knitting socks! 😅 Haven't had an issue yet...🤞

[@LuthandoTheHuman]

I had just removed my teabag when you made that comment, good looking out. 😂😊

[@toodlesmossberg5770]

One thing to think about when knitting socks is that there are many ways to do them. I knit both my socks at the same time using the magic loop method because that’s the only way I’ll finish them. I Hal’s knit toe up on my socks because it lets me be more conscious about my yarn usage. Hope this helps you a bit!

[@angeliqueschmidts2555]

I’m in love with the sweater you’re wearing. Is there a pattern?

[@WellLovedKnits]

Thank you! It’s cardigan no 7 by my favourite things knitwear and I used drops air and Diablo mohair by hobbii knit together ⭐️

[@angeliqueschmidts2555]

@@WellLovedKnits thank you for this and for all the videos that are so inspirational and educational ❤️

[@cindye3365]

Beginner here. Please consider doing a video of cables. You're such a good teacher

[@bethalexandra7833]

I just managed to get my plants on the balcony here in Germany. Where do you get the natural wool you used for the socks? I am always looking for a good staple wool!

[@lilahmann-dobry1110]

I love the i-corn edge to hide an uneven cast-on. Keep making your amazing videos! 🧶

[@purpurzoe]

Oh hi there! I found another person who's an expat knitter in Brussels! I'm so glad! And your vlog is pretty awesome :)

[@vysgiyi]

I totally live in that sock struggle!! Lol bought a skein that was supposed to be for a pair of socks but I guess my feet are so big I had to buy another one 😭

[@saffron9621]

I really love the cable vest. Where can I buy this pattern?

[@Olamelama]

Watching your video while knitting! Just discovered your channel and watched some videos but I didn't know you were (from/in ??) Brussels! I'm from Belgium but living in Germany. Anyway, thanks for your videos, looking forward to see the next ones :)

[@WellLovedKnits]

American living in Belgium 💕 thank you for being here!!

[@Risharnec]

I love the sweater vest! I'll have to make it

[@florenna]

Ah, that neckline in your mohair top you described as being neither too low or too high would be (way) too high for me ;) The necklines in most patterns are, I prefer lower & wider necklines, that's one of the reasons why I usually make my own / just wing it ;) Just currently knitting a black cotton lace dress while watching this, it's taken quiute a while, but now I'm nearing the completion, on shoulders now :)

[@WellLovedKnits]

Ha! All about personal preference :) That's what I love about knitting - customizing a piece to your personal tastes and body!

[@knitpicky]

ive only ever used pretty cheap acrylic, and all these really fluffy/soft looking wool + mohair garments look so so nice. but they make me worry about pilling or felting :/ has any of your stuff gone funky after wearing or washing?

[@WellLovedKnits]

No! I just need to shave it from time to time. My electric razor is my best friend 😊

[@nana-fb4yu]

i'm very new to knitting, i've been crocheting more, but just a little question, how do you mix mohair into yarn? what kind of dark magic is that!

[@sarahperron322]

You just knit them at the same time, so instead of holding one strand, you hold two strands together and knit as if it were one, it’s really fun!

[@crochetmelovely]

[@emmanuelleh7218]

Would you recommend the yarn you used for the fanny-pack to do a large tote ? I definitely want to use a cotton yarn but I'm scared it will be too heavy ? Also I'm super excited because I just finished a baby blanket I made for some friends, the yarn was a 2-3 in size I think so it took me the entire month of April to make !

[@WellLovedKnits]

I wouldn’t recommend purchasing the yarn I used. While I think it provides a nice structure, overall it’s a headache to work with! So you need a lot of patience. My guess is that cotton would be nice! But honestly this is the only bag I’ve made so it’s just a guess 💘

[@adelelo4897]

I am obsessed with the blue sweater/cardigan you're wearing! Is it your own pattern?

[@WellLovedKnits]

Hi! It’s not, it’s by My Favourite Things Knitwear 💘

[@jujubees]

1:05 Not knitting related but it's been very cold here in Germany as well unlike the past years I've been here! It's usually already very warm at this time of year!

[@WellLovedKnits]

Yes! Strange weather we're having in Europe right now..

[@619to253]

The sweater is gorgeous.

[@Whirledpeas00Knits]

Wow alpaca socks cool!!!

[@_studioklara]

I once got 4 socks out of one skein! (I do have small feet)

[@WellLovedKnits]

Wow that’s amazing! Lucky you 😂

[@meeegnn]

oooh i got the drops alpaca yarn for your sable sweater pattern, so i know what it gonna do if i end up with an extra skein left 🥰 what sock pattern did you use?

[@WellLovedKnits]

Ooo are you knitting a bouclé version?? I used the Everyday sock by petite knit ⭐️

[@meeegnn]

@@WellLovedKnits yes!! i fell in love immediatly with your beige bouclé version, so it’s on my to do list! there was a stock issue so i’m still waiting on the bouclé yarn sadly, but it’s on the list!🥰

[@caraxkins]

i loooovvvvve that shade of green on the fanny pack. i love pretty much any shade of green.

[@feelssewclothes]

I'm currently working on writing my first pattern and knitting up that sweater. So far so good but we will see how it comes together in the end.

[@WellLovedKnits]

That’s so exciting!!
