10,000 Stitches Podcast, Episode 67 - Swamp thing

June 13, 2017

Links to things I mentioned:

  • Simple Skyp Socks
  • Speckled Space Socks + my project page with notes
  • Driftwood + seaming a seamless sweater
  • KnitPicks interchangeable needles (these are the specific tips and cords I bought)
  • Pink and intricate KAL chatter thread
  • Trailer for the 2017 version of The Mummy

Question of the Week

What is something (book, movie, yarn, pattern, etc) you have encountered recently that didn't quite live up to expectations?

If you want to see more of my knitting, feel free to befriend me on Ravelry or Instagram.  

There's also a Ravelry group that can be found here, if you enjoy that sort of thing...

Sometimes, I take pictures of things...

Look, a podcast has finally happened! :-) January turned out to be a surprisingly tough month between settling in to life in Alabama and starting my new job. I’m feeling a lot better about my ability to handle things now so hopefully these will start coming a bit more frequently. Links are in my profile to everywhere you can watch and if you are working on a project for the stripe-a-thon KAL don’t forget to tag it #stripeathonKAL so I can see!
Getting the year started with a new podcast! It’s a short one but I’d rather be recording shorter episodes more often than just not recording at all... Not a ton of new stuff if you were watching vlogmas but I do talk about our first KAL of 2019 so check that out if you want to join! Links to YouTube, my blog, and the Ravelry group are all in my profile. :-)
I talk more about this in my vlogmas today (link to YouTube in profile if you want), but I’m taking a bit of a different approach to #makenine2019... I want to knit down my stash and make room for new stuff to come in, so I picked 9 items from my stash and I am going to make an effort to use them in 2019, preferably earlier rather than later. I don’t have plans for all of them yet, but here’s what they are, going left to right starting on the top: 1: a bunch of 50g sock yarn skeins which will become short socks 2: Huntsville themed yarn - no project plan yet 3: orange hand-dyed sparkly sock yarn - probably going to be a hat 4: hand-dyed BFL sock yarn - no plan yet 5: hand-dyed BFL sock yarn - another Head Sock to be gifted away 6: 2x hand-dyed BFL sock yarn - knee socks! 7: 2x hand-dyed BFL sock yarn - more knee socks? 8: hand-dyed MCN - Northlights hat 9: hand-dyed gradient mini set - Viajante or some other similar cowl
Nope, no theme at all in my 2018 #topnine... it’s been a crazy year (in case you don’t watch my podcast, I just relocated to Alabama) but a good one for knitting. I’ve published 3 patterns, refined my skills for dyeing yarn, and really started to hone in on my knitwear aesthetic. Here’s to 2019!
