Enjoyed this episode very much. Thanks for sharing 💕love all the socks and bags💕💕
loved this sock focused knitting vlog, svenja! ☺️🧦 we seem to have a similar book taste too!
for the first yarn you acquired, I think the hermione everyday socks would look amazing! I made them in a similar handdyed yarn 🩷
I adore your cute handmade project bags too ✨
I love my wooden sock blockers btw and never had a problem with them - first of all I really squeeze out a lot of the water before putting them on them and either let them dry in the sun in the summer or on the radiator in the winter which makes them fry so fast! :)
That’s great to know!! Thanks for sharing! We do share a lot in common ❤️ happy to have “met” you on this platform 😊
I also wash my socks in the machine and lay flat to dry. I usually wear them once then let them air overnight and wear again then wash 😊
Wow so many beautiful colours and so many cute socks, congratulations ! I'm very jelous that you have rain, in Eastern Europe it's a heat wave and a drowt
Hopefully you get some rain soon!
Hi! You’re making me want to knit all the socks! I’m really inspired to knit the Wildflowers & Honeycomb ones now.
I had an idea for your Pom on the shorty socks. You could simply leave the center tie (from making the pom) long, thread it through the back of your sock, and tie it into a bow. It would stay on well enough while you’re wearing them, but would still be completely removable. I do this with poms for my hats so I can remove them for washing.
Thanks for introducing me to Marianthi Yarns. You’re right, those speckles are stunning!
What a great idea for the removable pom! Thanks for sharing :) And yes, Marianthi Yarns are amazing. I want all her colorways!
Love your videos! Socks are really pretty! Love your scenery as well and your bag turned out great!! I subscribed Looking forward to more videos!!
Thank you so much!
Thanks for sharing your bundles..you have good taste!❤️
Thank you! 🤗
Thank you!!! I’ve been on vacation, and slowly catching up on my CZcams videos. I happened to watch this yesterday while knitting the heel flap on my 4th pair of #SummerSockCamp2023 socks. I tried the extra-stitch tip, and the ktbl tip when picking up stitches, and they worked great! 🧶🧶🧶
Love everything you’re making! I didn’t catch the name of the “confetti” color way by Marianthi? My daughter would love this yarn! 💖
It is called ‘Flowers’ 😊
Lovely vlog! Perfect combination of glimpses of your daily life (love your american porch) and Q&A with knitting tips!
Thank you! 😊
Your knitting in your socks are so even, it’s beautiful. Love the project bags too, they’re cute & functional. Thanks for sharing your week with us 🧶
Thank you so much!
Lessons on Chemistry is one of the best books I read last year!!
It's on my list - I've heard great things!
Thanks for the great video.
Glad you liked it!
All the socks are looking fantastic! I love your project bags, too. Enjoy all your content.
Thank you so much! ❤️
Thank you for this interesting podcast. I’m off to sew another project bag inspired by your beautiful work! My summer of socks is going well: finishing another pair today. And thank you for the tip on avoiding creating a hole in the sock when picking up the stitches. Have a good day! Elise
Glad you enjoyed! Happy sock knitting!
Your socks are great! I love your project bags!!! The quilting on them looks so good!! ❤
Thank you so much!
Great tips for sock knitting. Roxanne Richardson has great sick videos as well.
Svenja, I just love your videos and want you to know you are such an inspiration! I, too, have made the Wildflowers & honeycomb socks since your last video and used blueberry speckled yarn. I may have to roll up my jeans to show them off! I also made the Summer Picnic Socks and wanted to share that I had trouble with the graph. The instructions actually seem to start the checkerboard pattern on stitch 27 rather than stitch 1. I found I needed to start at stitch 27, work across to the left, do the instep or top of the foot and then start at stitch 1 to the center. Maybe I'm wrong, but I could not find another way to accomplish the pattern. The socks came out fine and I love them regardless and would make another pair. I feel your pain with the rain we've had and also live in Maine. But, it makes for great knitting! We all await your next projects.
Thanks for the tips!! I will definitely consider if I make those!
Great blog. Beautiful socks and love the project bags
Thank you! 😊
I make project bags, too, it is a lot of fun. I put a pocket inside and add a handle. Your bags look great!! I love your socks!
I have started the Stephen West Surprise Sock Along. They are pretty cool!!
I am in northern Illinois, and we could use some of your rain! Enjoy your summer!!
Oh how nice!! I should consider adding a pocket as well, thanks for the recommendation!
I really enjoyed this beautiful episode, You are such an expert in sock knitting and the bag is so cute.
Thank you so much!
Thank you Svenja for a fun, informational episode. I enjoyed watching and getting some tips and inspiration on your sock knitting journey!
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Hi Svenja
I love your socks
And I love your wildflower socks are beautiful ,, I actually love the wool with a bit of colour going through
I saved that pattern when you went through different socks you were going to make
You do a beautiful job!!!
😊💝🇨🇦🇨🇦
Thank you!! They were fun to make!
Gorgeous socks and thank you for the tips!!
You are so welcome!
Your socks are beautiful 👌 great job!
Thank you! 😊
Your gusset decreases look amazing, have you done a double decrease or something? Would love to know! Thanks for the podcast
I decrease on one side of the sock which ends up being two decreases in a row. Maybe that’s what you are referring to?
thank u so much for sharing your week! i loved the video 😊 You are the most perfect sock and now I want to knit one!
You can do it!
Hi Svenja! You’re an inspiration! Now I want to do a project bag too!! Thanks for this and all your episodes!
They are so fun!
Hi Svenja! I'm an avid sock knitter most of the time. I'd love to knit the Frill Socks by Autumn Poppy Designs.
That’s such a cute pattern! I’ll have to add it to my list!
Love your project bag, can you please share the pattern you use? like how to get the bottom and the strings done?
thank you
Thank you for sharing! I am a new sock knitting enthusiast and as a 7-7.5 shoe size, I wonder how many stitches do you cast on for Summer Lee basic socks?
Your socks are beautiful, such great knitting! Would you tell me what size and brand your containers are that you store your yarn in? I am looking for some and yours look like the perfect size. You sock knitting summer is going great! ❣️🧶
They are from Walmart, however I can’t recall the brand. I should have them linked in favorites that you can find in the description of my videos.
Well done with your project bags!! I love them. I still want to learn how to make one. Do you use a specific pattern?
I do not, I just made up some dimensions! They are pretty easy if you have basic sewing skills!
Would you consider sharing measurements ..quick instructions for your project bags. I am no I’ve sewist and would enjoy making a bag for my knitting. Thank you Svenja.
The measurements are roughly 10x11” finished for my project bags. They are relatively straightforward to make!
Thanks for sharing your sock journey. I’l like to get back into sock knitting after taking a ten year break. I’m going to order some of the yarn that you mentioned as they look fun to knit with. What do you use for the ties on your knitting bag? I love your bags, they turned out quite well.
Thank you! The ties are a cotton drawstring material.
Question for all my more experienced knitters: can you make a sweater with sock yarn? I was peer pressured into buying 4 skeins of a yarn that is gorgeous but I later realized it was sock yarn. I’d love to make a sweater with it but I’m not sure how it would go. Should I hold it with some mohair or alpaca to make it softer? I would LOVE your recommendations.
You can definitely make a sweater with sock yarn! Just keep in my sock yarn is usually superwash which can grow several sizes when washed/blocked so I would definitely swatch and block before committing to anything. Pairing a single strand of sock yarn with mohair is a great option too! I have made several sweaters with this combo (personal favorite is the No Frills sweater by Petite Knit), which calls for this yarn pairing.
@@svenjaknits this is perfect exactly what I needed! Thank you SO much 💕
Hi Svenja, I was watching your Holiday 2022 Gift Knitting and I wonder if you could send me the knitting adaptions for the hat that you made for your mother-in-law?
Hi! Yes I can! I should update this project on Ravelry with my mods. I promise I’ll get to it!
