10,000 Stitches Podcast, Episode 64 - I've bought a lot of yarn lately

May 16, 2017

Thank you to everyone who let me well-wishes while I was sick!  They definitely helped to pull me out of my funk and I appreciate it.  :-)

  • Paulie
  • Speckled Space Socks
  • Greystone
  • Pink and intricate KAL chatter thread

Question of the Week

What do you do to pick up your mood when you are sick?  For me, it's anything that makes me feel productive, even if that's just taking a shower.


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.
