Episode #2 of my #knitting vlog is now live! I talk the high’s and low’s of knitting, giving myself a concussion, and there’s even a small unboxing at the end. Enjoy! ❤️ 🧶🧦 youtu.be/-Iead3ZL-70?...

Started a new pair of socks tonight for my wife. No fancy pattern, just plain vanilla socks knit using yarn from Arcane Fibre Works in Canada. Colorway is called Moonlight Magic 🧶🧦 #knitting

Aaaaaaand it doesn’t fit. I can’t get the cuff over my arch and heel no matter how hard I tug. The rest of it feels great 😂😭🧶🧦

Finished the colorwork portion of my sock and am ready to start the toe. I turned it right side out and voila! I love it! 😊🧶🧦 #knitting

I’ve always admired Opal yarn from afar, but finally purchased a couple of balls tonight to make some cool socks. It was hard to pick just 2, they have so many wonderful prints! #knitting 🧶🧦

Playing around with iMovie on my phone, so here’s a random minute of me #knitting my sock inside out 😂🧶🧦

My first go at knitting colorwork socks inside out continues. I’ve passed the part where the afterthought heel goes, and am now onto the foot. Hoping to have the whole thing done by the end of the week 🧶🧦 #knitting

First time knitting colorwork inside out. So far, so good. I don’t have a lot of experience knitting colorwork socks, so I’m eager to see how they fit 😂🧶🧦 #knitting

Decided to knit the Sweetie Socks by Kay Jones next. If you watched my vlog you know I was eyeballing a Stephen West pattern I bought, but, well, I’ll talk about that next time 😂 #knitting 🧶🧦

And that’s a wrap on my Eras Tour socks. Still have to block them, but they’re otherwise done. Looking forward to giving them as a gift 😁🧦🧶 #knitting #sockknitting

And now for something completely different for me…I’ve started a knitting podcast! It’s so new it doesn’t ever have a name yet 😂 I’d appreciate it if you gave it a watch and if you like it, tell your pals and let’s have some fun 😁🧶🧦 #knitting youtu.be/VRxd8Z9g4p4?...

Hoping to get these Eras Tour socks done this weekend, but even if I don’t, I’m happy with the progress I’ve made this week 😊🧶🧦 #knitting

I’m not a big fan of Stephen West’s shawls, but I just realized he does sock patters, too. Couldn’t resist getting the pattern for the Spiral Splash Socks. This one looks like a lot of fun! #knitting 🧶🧦

Finished the tube of my Eras Tour sock. Still have to add in the heel. I spent most of last year #knitting socks on 3mm needles, but made these on 2.5. I like the tighter fabric. Think I’ll stick with them for a while 😊🧶🧦

Took a break from social media after my father’s passing to deal with my grief. It’s been a tough week, I’ve stopped and started so many knit socks, but finally landed on this simple striped one inspired by colors from Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour. Hope to be posting on a regular basis again soon 😊🧶🧦

Thank you all for your kind words yesterday regarding the passing of my father. Today, I am taking comfort in winding yarn by hand 🧶

My father passed away this morning at 5:45 after a very short battle with cancer. He was given 6 months to a year left to live earlier this month.

The number of times I've knit a sock and halfway through decided I don't like it is astounding 🤣🤷‍♂️🧶🧦 #knitting

I just saw some footage from Vogue Knitting Live 2025, and the fashion shows looked great, but that vendor floor! I get overwhelmed by our little fiber fest each year that has around 50 booths, I can't imagine the anxiety I'd feel at VKL 🤣🧶 #knitting

My wife is flying off to Seattle for work and will be back on Friday, so I have the rest of the week to myself to watch TV and do ALL THE KNITTING 🤣🧶

I started #knitting the Film Reel Socks today by Alex Mooney, but I'm not in love with the white bands. I'm going to frog them because I have something in mind that will be much better suited to my tastes 😁🧶🧦
