10,000 Stitches Podcast, Episode 21 - The one before PFoF

April 26, 2016

Links to things I mentioned:

  • Happypotamus
  • Drachenschwingen
  • Business Casual Socks
  • Vanilla Latte Socks
  • Cable socks KAL thread
  • PhD Yarns (this is where the KAL prize yarn is from)
  • Powhatan Festival of Fiber
  • LaTeX

Question of the Week

What is your favorite "almost vanilla" sock pattern?  Something that is pretty basic, very go-to, but just has that special something.


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...

Just finished my first pair of “work socks” here in AL! These have lived in my desk drawer since the start of the year and I get a few rows done when I’m in meetings or debugging code. The stripes matching up after the gusset was 10
Spherical farm animals found in the wild!
New podcast is up! Wherein I only talk about ~one~ project and why I’m going to shift my focus to being a very monogamous knitter for a while. Curious? Links to everywhere you can find it are in my profile. :-)
The body is finished! I kitchenered all 221 stitches of ribbing to the bottom because apparently I hate myself *a lot* but I really like how clean the bottom edge looks.
