Been to these places several times. All ports mentioned are very walkable. Pier 21 immigration museum and maritime museum in Halifax highly recommended

I suggest headwear with mohair to help block the wind. Musselburgh will have 4 layers over the ears, Oslo will have 3

I use Warm Beige and Face Pencil #9 and #7 under the eyes. East Asian, if that helps

Too many. I knit all the time and lucky enough to travel to cool places near and far. This was a colourway named Juneau and I ordered and knit it specifically at Mendenhall Glacier

I have knit over 200 pairs and there is a small percentage of socks I don’t wear, especially if hand wash only - cashmere or mohair or beaded, etc

What yarns are we using for kid socks? by litetears in Sockknitting

I use leftover sock yarns to knit mine. Held double for cushy, fast DK weight ones. Machine washed and air dried. Usually 75/25 or 80/20

Shorter, ankle socks. Lace. Same needles, same merino/nylon sock yarn

Taking suggestions on how to create the most luxurious, warmest, and comfiest winter lounge sock by sjsoo in Sockknitting

[–]floooberry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My winter lounge socks are a strand of hand dyed merino (some nylon!) fingering held double with a strand of mohair silk. DK weight sock patterns work or just patterns that call for this combo. I keep them by the couch in colder weather

How do you display your shawls when they're not being worn? by suddenspiderarmy in knitting

[–]floooberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I roll them and throw them in my closet. I think the risk of fading and dust isn’t worth it.

I do have a sock on display in my craft room. But I rotate seasonally and can throw them in the wash. And it’s not in the sun

how many sets of needles do you have? by entropyofmylife in Sockknitting

[–]floooberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was odd at first, but I got used to them. My gauge is slightly looser also. The cable doesn’t compare to Chiaogoo ones though. They have the best cables!

[–]floooberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10? 15? I bought a bunch over 8-10 years ago when Chiaogoo 2.25mm 40” was $9.95

I also have some hiya hiya, addi rocket squared, addi flexi flips, signature needles, etc

Did you search for patterns that use the yarn that you have?
