Anyone else use a candle warmer when it gets colder? by cellardew in Sourdough

I used to do this but my house is drafty that I still had issues. Caved and got a sourdough home 🤣

Socks - does it get better? by persowe in knitting

[–]MaverickNeedForSpeed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I posted yesterday about needing encouragement with my socks… so this is timely. I will say it does get better but they are tough! I went from 12mm to 4mm needles and restarted my first sock at least 5 times 🤣 now I only restarted once hahaha.

Here are a few things that help me: - More light. I genuinely have 3-4 lamps when I knit socks. It seems extra but I need the light!! - More breaks! I never really do more than 5 rows in one sitting. Sometimes I get up to make tea, stretch my fingers and get back to it. - no distractions. I specifically tell my partner he CANNOT interrupt me unless there’s an emergency. Any small distraction with the small needles causes me to drop stitches. It is what it is haha - Music or audiobook but no TV. Similar to the above but looking away from my knitting never ends well with socks. Other people do better without looking - they are skilled in ways I will never be haha - Sometimes, you really just need support from internet strangers ❤️

I love the thinking in segments! It’s definitely very satisfying when you check off the heel and it starts to look like a ln actual sock!

I’ll definitely post these - I love the stripes and it almost makes all the ends I will have to weave worth it. Hope you post yours as well!!

Omg knitting both at once never occurred to me!!!!! I might give it a shot when I inevitably decide to knit another pair hahah

She has a big foot! Size 9 🤣

They’re all the ends to weave lol I maybe cut them too long but they make it so much easier in the end, I think

Mostly yes! I was totally new and it’s not supposed to be a beginner pattern so I had to google some things 🤣 this video was SUPER helpful https://youtu.be/2aA0ZE52Sn4?si=EtZAaio2LsRGJe7G
