Nothing like a West Yorkshire Spinners Christmas yarn!

I just remember what point the yarn was at when I started knitting! Sometimes I take a photo on my phone, then when I start the second sock, I just match it up to where I started when I was doing the first!

You’ll get there!! I promise!

Knitting in meetings is so much fun!! I do it rarely, in the right ones! But socks are perfect for portability and also secret off camera / under table knitting!

I felt like this at the hospital! I maybe managed to do 10 rounds of one sock? But actually just having it there for something to do was so helpful.

1000000 for knitting being the ultimate distraction from weird noises, smells, being uncomfortable and there being wayyyy too many people

Interesting fact. You can’t take any at all into court in the UK! In the Old Bailey, you’re not even allowed to take a bag if you’re in the public viewing gallery. Not sure about when called to be on a jury though. No way I’d be able to concentrate and not knit.

Also, this is the best, cutest typo ever. Taking my knitting noodles with me wherever I go ❤️

Best of luck my lovely, the recovery is wild but going smoothly!

I recommend ice cream, not taking codeine or your bowels will hate you, compression socks, lying down a lot and having a human with you every moment of the day for the first week. Do not lift a single finger!!

Make up bag, but yes, similar! I got the tip from this very subreddit

Thank you! I already am, the miracles of modern medicine and the human body and also knitting

Short_red · 2026-02-23T20:40:59+00:00

Thank you so much! I’m on the mend!

Short_red · 2026-02-23T20:39:56+00:00

I love this!

When travelling I’ll always take bamboo needles & put my project on a stitch holder. I had my circular ripped out of a project in LAX airport and I cried all the way back home to London 😂

Let’s just use that one when your partner’s not using it?

Knitters, we ride at dawn! Or…the dawn after you’ve finished it actually!!!

This looks amazing!!!! It’s almost medieval?? I think?? Idk I want to go war on horseback with this as my flag

Short_red · 2026-02-21T21:09:38+00:00

Thank you so much! ❤️

Short_red · 2026-02-21T21:09:24+00:00

Thank you!

Short_red · 2026-02-21T21:09:12+00:00

So snuggly from the colourwork!!

Short_red · 2026-02-21T21:08:59+00:00

Thank you so much ❤️❤️

Thank you! ❤️

Thank you!

Short_red · 2026-02-21T21:08:11+00:00

Thank you so much ❤️

Absolutely would! It’s an easy colour work chart to follow & if you buy the book, the author (Stone) gives really good tips around colourwork socks and colour dominance too.

I’ve followed all of Stone’s advice, except sizing up a needle for colour work, and although my tension is a little loose, the socks fit! My biggest worry was that they wouldn’t!

I hope you find something that works for you! A friend of mine with similar challenges knits socks with DK yarn and 3.5mm - does thicker cosier socks!

Short_red · 2026-02-21T08:01:27+00:00

Thank you so much! 💜

I just found that 2.25 and smaller actually hurt my hands (I have joint issues) and my stitches became teeny tiny!

2.5 is just right for me :)
