10,000 Stitches Podcast, Episode 91 - Refocusing

April 3, 2018

Links to things I mentioned

FO's: 

WIP's: Matchmaker

Coming up, maybe: Match & Move, Rose Candy

Shops/new toys: Holland Handmade Co

Current KAL: the Botanical KAL chatter thread + the Exceedingly Vanilla KAL to celebrate my sock pattern release!  Use #ExceedinglyVanillaKAL on instagram

Question of the Week

How are you feeling about the new season we are moving into?  (Spring for us in the northern hemisphere, autumn in the south.)  I know a lot of places in the States are getting snow, so does it even feel like spring where you are?

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

Question of the Week

Is there an aspect of the way you knit/crochet that you have made a conscious effort to change for the sake of efficiency or utility?  I have changed how I tension my yarn so that I can still knit while wearing fingerless gloves.

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.
