Hello everyone and welcome to Shandling Makes on Lorraine. So this is my very first video for 2024. Hope everyone is having a good start to the new year. And so I have some whips or I have a whip and I have some finished objects. Okay so I showed the whip first. This is my knitting sock. This is just a plain vanilla sock. So here's what it looks like. Here is the yarn. So this was from Michaels and I got the yarn bin in here. So I got a whole bunch when they were on clearance in the wall back. So this is called perfect pair. One ball makes one pair of socks. This colorway is called Promised Land. And there are just 454 yards. 3.5 ounces. Superfi number one. Okay recommended needle size is 2.75. crochet hook is recommended at 3.25. And this is 75% acrylic 23% bamboo and 7% polyester. So I started this on January 11th. Yes on the 11th. Or the 10th I can't remember whichever day my husband had to go to the hospital and have a procedure done in a day surgery. So this is what I did while he was waiting for him. So just plain vanilla sock 2x2 ribbing. 64 stitches casted on. And now I am on the lake so it's top down. I haven't done any more of it because I was debating on whether to just do this while I'm waiting. Projects are not. But that's going to change. So I'll be working on that. My daughter wants me to knit her card again. So I'll be busy doing that. Excuse me. So that will be my knit. Okay. My finished objects is for my 12 months of pod which I put a shared that the link to the video on my Facebook group. And also on my community page I believe. And it will be linked down in the description box below. This is posted by Tori from Polys Crochet Creations and myself. And with Crystal's permission to use her tutorials and do this collaboration. So it's not sponsored by anyone. If you participate at least in complete at least 9 of the months before the end of the year or by the end of the year you will be eligible for a mystery prize from two prizes, one from Tori and one from myself. Okay. So January's month was a newborn mini and that will be linked down in the description box as well. So this is the yarn I used. I haven't done my ends in. It's very simple. Now this I doubled up my yarn and I used Snuggly Woggly from loops and threads at my ankles. This is a DK weight. And I think it is a acrylic. Made in Turkey. Gives a color number. I'm not sure if they still have this or not. I'm going to see if it was acrylic or not and I don't see any. Yes, 100% acrylic. Now I'm looking way down. Okay. The first one I did hook size for this is a 4. Now on crystals she was using a 4 weight yarn and a belief. She was using a 5 millimeter. So I did this one with double to make the equivalent of a medium weight with the 4 millimeter crochet hook and this is how big it was. So I went down size and only single strand. So this is using a 3.5 mil and went down again. So I was little on the big side and I used a 3 mil and here is that. Okay. So that's that. Okay. I will leave links down in the description box below and link to especially to link the links to the introduction and the first month of the video that Tori did. Trying to think here. I'm a little tired because I didn't sleep all that well. We were up. We could do this for you kind of early for me and had to do some running around to be home for a full call later. So after doing this. So I'm going to try to put out a little bit more videos like this is late in the day. In the month to be put down a video but I'm not sure if I can bring them today is the 24th so I may or may not put another video out this month but next month will be earlier in the month. I won't wait so long. Okay. So. I'm going to put it in. My apologies. So that's all I have. This is just over 8 minutes. So this is Lorraine Satellin makes saying don't forget to stop some of the coffee and the flowers. Bye for now.
