10,000 Stitches Podcast, Episode 39 - Leveling down

September 13, 2016

Links to things I mentioned:

  • Fireweeds
  • Dovetail wrap (more or less the garter stitch triangle shawl I am making)
  • Broken Seed Stitch Socks
  • Shirsty Cat Designs
  • Colorwork KAL thread
  • Decision fatigue

Question of the Week

When you purchase a pattern, what do you feel you are paying for?  The design itself, editorial skills, pictures and layout, quality directions?  (Or something else I didn't think of?)  


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.
