I love that you are organizing your sock yarn while simultaneously throwing other yarn across the room 😂 that’s what happens when I organize ! It gets worse in one place while it gets better in another
Hahahaha. I'm the same.
As someone who started knitting initially to make socks, I too have a bit more sock yarn or sock-intended yarn than is ideal given I want to make garments now. I have lots of yarn but very little sweater quantities. It makes buying yarn hard to explain ...
Inge here, Inga 🎶 fr NW USA. This served to introduce me to sources for interestingly sourced yarn… breed and dye, on the one hand and how you see it aesthetically, comparatively and functionally, on the other. Thank you for the perspective! I wish all my favorite knitting peeps would each create a video on how to shop, learn and navigate knitting/fiber so we don’t waste money/effort and yet see how to nurture and hone drams! I’d like a map 🩵⛄️🩵
Hi Inge ! To prevent holes in the slippers - i bought liquid latex and made a sole on the underside. Made a pair for my mother and did not want her to slip. Works like a charm !
This is one of my favourite episodes, Inga. It's just very relaxing. It's my go to podcast when I'm knitting and want company but there aren't any new episodes. I don't know how many times I've watched it!
Oh that makes me so happy😍 i hope to make more like this one day😘
I love yarn and stash podcast.
I’m knitting on a pair of scrappy socks while watching! I’m always inspired by your stash and the different wools you use to knit socks! Thanks, Inga ❤
You are so welcome!
Girl I am HERE for this content! Thank you so much for making this!!
You're so welcome!😁💕
I love how you´ve been diversifying your content recently - the time between podcasts go faster. :) Yay for all the knitting content! And don´t worry about length. Your videos are so nice and relaxing to watch while knitting
Yay, thank you!
I think the super wash sock wools are more "icky" before washing, once washed and worn there are "smoother" and they improve the more you use them. You have so much yarn, that's impressive! Great video as always! xx
Lots of pretty socks in waiting. ❤❤❤
Fun, I knit very few socks so it was informative to hear your thinking process. I would have just shoved all the sock yarns into the covered bin. 😆 Also your cabinet stash is very pretty that way!
Hi Inga, I used Drops Nord for sock knitting. I made 2x2 ribbed socks because they fit tighter. Hiked with them, they are staying up and are super soft and comfy.
Inga! Talking shop over yarn is always fun 😁 bring on the mohair!
Sock knitting + organizing was the perfect video for a Friday night in March! Loved catching up with you and your stash 💛
Yay! Thank you!
You are an inspiration and the look at the stash for sock yarn is a good idea.
I did a colourwork sock in flore with alpaca and I think with all the stranding, it made for a lovely sock. I also added mohair to the toes/heels
Waiting to see all the lovely socks
After watching your podcast, I’ve just ordered some more storage things and I’m going to organise my sock yarns too
Inga, I love your channel! I, too, have a huge stash . Unfortunately, I am not as proficient a knitter as you are. I love you and love your knitting ideas. I'm not as committed to sock knitting,. I went Gung ho knitting socks for everyone, and the gifted socks i knit for family eithrer shrunk in the wash or wore out in the heels. I have 3 unfinished pairs that are started and I have no desire to complete.
Love seeing all your yarns! 💚
Yes to the mohair stash! Looks like some gorgeous stuff in there.
So fun seeing some of your stash! It is indeed what makes we knitters happy.
Would love a mohair video ❤. Your stash is beautiful
Loved it 😍
I had no problem staying with you all the way to the end - I loved it, and your stash is amazing!!
It was fun watching you go through your sock yarns. Looking forward to the next video! ❤
I love when you said that nylon feels icky. That’s exactly how I feel about it. I love you.
That's going to be a lot of socks. Lovely yarns. Thanks for sharing!!!
Always enjoy going through other people’s stash!
I love your videos... and I love organising things.. so I think my dream job is organised stash from others knitters 😅
Hi Inga. This was a fun watch, and I learned a lot about yarns (other than 'sock yarns') that can be used for knitting socks, which I am yet to do.
Fun yarn situation 😂. You knit so fast you have half that knit up by the end of the year.
Hi Inga, this is a lovely video. I love watching the stash related videos even though I only buy yarn for projects as I do not like to keep stash myself. ❤❤❤
I really enjoyed seeing and hearing about your sock yarns. Gets me inspired to not only cast on some socks but to organize my stash a bit better! And YES totally up for joining you while you go through your mohair. Thanks for a fun video Inga. 🧶🌻🌸🌼
I love my drops nord socks. Nice and very, very warm.
Inga, love your videos! :) They always inspired me!
Thank you so much!
I absolutely loved this video, your collection of sock yarns is gorgeous. It makes me feel better about my yarn stash 😂😂😂I have to admit is probably half of what you own and even as much as I enjoy seen them I get a little overwhelmed and this year I’m trying to purchase only at yarn events and only if I have a purpose for it. It’s really hard to say no too a beautiful yarn 😅
Yay thank you for the stash tour!
You are so welcome!
Organizing is just HARD. With both yarn and fabric, though, I start organizing and find lots of new ways to put things together. More projects! I do love hearing you talk through your process here...I think our brains work a lot the same.
I thoroughly enjoyed this trip through your sock yarn stash! I wish I could say I used it as an opportunity to sort my own yarn stash, but I didn't 😆 I did finish my Little Cables Raglan, and also made some progress on a gift cowl that I've been working on. Socks are a fairly new adventure for me. I loved seeing some of your fiber and color pairings! Thank you for sharing your time with us!!
Love the Mondim sock yarn and find them very warm
"So I invested in quite a lot of yarn and I just never got around to it" Ah, yes, the knitters' epitaph.
Loved this episode. I have crates and cupboards and shelves and baskets - reasonably organised but nearly time for a tidy up and check over again! I’d be interested to hear more about your silk mohair collection and ideas of what to do with it! Found your podcasts about a week ago and have watched several so far - you are so easy to watch and listen too and your manner is so at ease.
Elongated red balls 😂😂 where are you now . I just found your channel today , and have been binge watching from 2 years ago podcasts 1-9... when you were in Norway working as a doctor. I jumped ahead to this stash organizing 😮wow you have a lot ❤
Im in førde now working in the hospital😁
Hi Inga, I enjoyed this video and I learned a lot. You mention the content of the yarn and why it is good or not good for socks. I like that you mention the needle size you use. And we all love pretty yarn! I live in a city with very few knitters and no knitting shops so I rely on you and other fellow-knitters to learn all this useful stuff! Thanks and see you again soon!
I love watching this so while I knit i can Learn about more yarn brands ❤️💜🧶 thanks Inga
Wow! Inga you have enough yarn to start your own shop! Love the sock yarns! Decision decision over yarn you make me giggle! I’m only knitting a baby jacket with graduating colours of pink and cream and white with four little pink kitten buttons! And then I’ll continue with sock knitting 🧶! Love your colours as always! Xx 💜
I enjoyed seeing all your yarn. Thanks for sharing.
You are so welcome!
I love the Mondim sock yarn, too! I use a contrast yarn for the cuffs, heels, and toes which has nylon and they wear well. Also, the yarn goes a long way. I used one ball for a pair of longer socks and still have so much left over! Going to Lisbon in a few weeks and am having so much trouble deciding which colours to get....they have a new navy with small white stripe sections which I really want!
Hi Inga. Enjoy all your videos. Simply in Stitches from the UK uses the Nord held double for boot socks. She says she loves it. I've ordered some to knit up.using a Petite Knits pattern. I think for me in TX, they will be perfect for house socks.
I love sock yarn. Non super wash is my favorite. It’s so versatile.
Now I'm feeling like I need to get down to the basement and get my yarn back into some sort of organization, it's gotten out of hand the last couple years. lol I do love your videos.
You can do it! Thank you💕💕💕
You have a very beautiful stash of “sock” yarn 😉… I had a lot of beautiful yarns intended for “socks” and ended up using them for shawls, and striped child garments. They worked out great and helped me bust through my stash. I had a few that just DID NOT 🫣 look good as socks and it worked out great because my nieces and nephew received some very cute sweaters. Your yarns are all very beautiful and I am sure whatever you make will be wonderful!! ❤❤❤. Can’t wait to see what you make!
I WAS STILL HERE WHEN YOU SAID IT ..AND I LIKED ALL
hahaha THANK YOU
Bravo! on the forensic knitting research on those slippers! My awesome DH won't get slippers unless I use a leather or synthetic sole, which I will attempt one day.
I think that the Anthology Shawl is absolutely beautiful.
Love it
I loved seeing your stash video because I LOVE how much you LOVE YARN and KNITTING! So do I and I find your knitting very inspirational! I look forward to seeing the rest of your stash! 🐑♥️🐑♥️🐑
Oh thank you!
Inga thank you so much for sharing! I always get so much inspiration from you!
You are so welcome
Loved this! Thanks for showing us. I love your little toss of yarns to deal with later.
Thank you! 😘
Love your videos!! I am super wowed by how much wool you have in your stash!! You inspire me!!! hahah
Oh thank you!
Hi Inga I imagine some folk would cringe seeing you THROW balls of yarn intentionally on the floor. I must say I absolutely loved seeing you do that. So carefree and natural! A touch of my own attitude there, perhaps. Go girl! Kindest regards Lynn, Albany Western Australia, currently in UK
Hehe 🤪💕
The process is so helpful. I am itching to try silk mohair for socks. I absolutely love the Mondeim sock yarn. The rustic is such a good feel and they have lasted well for me as house socks.
I enjoyed this and the process. It helps motivate me to think about how I want to store and organize my own stash
I'm so glad!
I love watching stash videos. It let's me know what others are buying and what they like or do t like a out the fibers that they have.
I enjoy watching you go through your stash because I learn about new to me yarns.
I'm so glad!
Love seeing all your beautiful stash 🥰 Would love to see more 😄
Yay! Thank you!
Inga, thank you for sharing this with I. I for one, love to see all the yarns people love using, and all the wonderful colour ideas. Makes me want to organize mine now.
You are so welcome!
I love seeing other people’s starches and understanding their thinking process in choosing/using/sorting their yarn! I love the yarn from Turkey! I was thinking “Oh, yes, knit that up next!” I do think it would make the most delightful summer socks to wear with jeans! You also had a sock set in a cream with a brown contrast (silk or mostly silk, I think).. I was thinking that if I had 2 sets of that yarn I would make a striped summer tee or tank top. It would look lovely at the beach! Thanks for the tour!
Hello from Oslo, love your videos and knitting socks to myself. 🌞
Glad you like them!🥰😘
I love Drops Nord for socks! Il makes soft and comfy socks and is absolutely perfect if you knit it on smaller needles. I use 2.25mm.
i loved this video, i got a lot of new informatuin about yarn brands! And I would love to see mohair stush video:) please! thank you!
I am enjoying knitting on my St. Patrick's Day socks while you tidy up!! Good job Inga!!!
😁💕Thank you!
What a lovely stash!!! I need to do the same thing and get mine organized! 🧶🥰💕
You can do it!😁
@@knittingtraditions Awww thank you for the vote of confidence! You're so sweet! It will definitely be a challenge! I think I have yarn in every room of my house! 😅
Thank you, I absolutely loved this. Yes I would love to see your mohair stash. I have just learned so much listening to you explain the different wools. I love the mixture from drops to hand dyed.
I'm so glad!
Thanks so much for taking the time to share all the yarnie goodness, best "Yarn Porn" ever :)This was great fun, to knit along to, too ! Also loved seeing all the interesting things in your room. The Sheep candle ?and bits and bobs!
Yes i got it from my cousin, its to precious so i havemt lit it much😂
I love your swift it’s very nice! I too have far too much sock yarn lol but as you say it makes me happy. I should send you some Briggs and Little to try you might really like it as it’s very rustic!! Always enjoy your videos!!
I love them! Had a skein a few years ago and designed my rustic cable socks with it, ome of my fav sovk yarns😍
Her var det mye lekkert sokkegarn, gøy å se andre sine garnskatter.
I really enjoyed this episode - it’s so relatable thank you Inga
You are so welcome!😘
Hi Inga! 👋🏽 I enjoyed this video because I got the opportunity to learn about “new to me” yarns and I find that inspiring. Please keep them coming! 😆 Much love, from Dallas, TX.
Wonderful!😁💕
You have quite a sock yarn collection, always ready to knit !!! I have knit socks with drops Nord, they are great but have a tendency to stretch, so make them tight fitting. Isure would love te see your mohair stash video. This was a lot of fun !!!
Mine dont stretch, I wish they did, theyre a bit tight. How did yours stretch? In wear or washing? How did you wash them? Mine are mosiac, and fairisle not stockinette. Nord is my favourite sock wool.
@@satsumamoon I washed them by hand, which is what is recommanded on the ball band. They stretched during wearing. I just put them in the dryer for a few minutes to felt them a bit, then they got back to the right shape. I must also add I am quite a loose knitter.
Oh yes, knitting loose stitches might be what allows them to stretch.
I love knitting socks with drops Nord. It is one of my favourite sock bases. Super soft and warm! I think you would like it! I recently knit the forest spell pattern from drops.
Thanks for the tip!😁
😂 I love a good hour-long stash tour and would definitely enjoy the mohair video as well! Just one thing I noticed on your videos, both at my laptop and my phone, with or without headphones, the music at the outro is a lot louder than your voice. Especially the snare drum sounds are very loud. If other people experience similar issues you could maybe have a look into it ☺️ best wishes from Germany!
I really enjoy your videos & appreciate that you are not Uber organized for them on occasion. I think most are f us can relate to the love & enjoyment of the craft. Not the perfection ❤️ it brings me joy when I see you have a new video available
🥰💕Thank you!
Inga I love your videos… and I’m super nosey, so this was perfect x
Oh thank you!
Hi Inga! Love your videos. Great to have a glimpse of all this yarn ! Just wanted to let you know that the socks I knit with Vandre softened up lovely after a machine wash, they turned out super nice and fluffy. Thank you for sharing your yarns with us!
Thanks for the tip!😁😍
Great Idea! Your Yarn Collection Tidy/Sort will be So Interesting....I Always love to See the Yarns from Different Places that I'm unable to get. Sleeves rolled up Dives into Sock Yarn Box, Thank You Inga 💐🤗
Thank you! 😊
Oh!knitting heart!
Glad that I am not the only person that likes to play with my yarn even the tiniest little ball of wool. Thank you for sharing.
You are so welcome!
Рада Вас видеть. Вы как всегда великолепны.❤️
Hi, Inga! I am looking forward to the video about silk mohairs.
Loved the video. It’s a great way to learn about yarn dyers/companies. Would gladly watch more videos with this type of content.
Awesome! Thank you!
Please continure showing how you are organizing. It is a chore I have put off for a very long while and you inspire me.
I don't really have an opinion on stash videos, but I do like the extra content :) Always nice so have something to listen to whilst knitting.
Great vlog! I heard about woollentwine ( spelling) ?? from another pod caster. It looks quite gorgeous . I’m working on a pair with yarn from arcane fiber. I have one done. I have a ball winder , and going to buy a swift as a present for myself as I have b a n hand winding!! Until the next!!
Love the stash sharing!! It’s so interesting to see how our tastes change over the years. I too have skeins from the past and look at them now and think WTF 😂 oh well, I’ll use it someday 😂 (maybe) 🤪
Haha maybe 😂
My socks made with Nord is my favorite. Soft fuzzy not drapey at all 😊
The yasmine coloured yarn would make a beautiful pink fizz sweater by Andrea Mowry... Definitely on my dream knit list :)
When you held the ‘Easter sock’ yarn up to your face, I was hoping you’d say you’d make a hat, it’s so bright and it looks good beside your face :) also I just love all those purple variegated yarns, I think they’re beautiful in the hanks though I don’t think I’ve ever seen them knitted up? anyways great video thank you!
