10,000 Stitches Podcast, Episode 30 - Grail yarn

June 28, 2016

Links to things I mentioned:

  • Longing for Spring
  • Cadence Socks
  • Blackrose Socks
  • Little Cable Knee Highs
  • Squircle
  • Double Heelix
  • Lace socks KAL thread
  • Birch Hollow Fibers
  • Wild Oak Yarns (it appears that I was right and this etsy has been empty for a while)

Question of the Week

What is your "grail yarn"?  This might a yarn that is a bit too pricey for you, or just one that is not frequently in stock and therefore tough to get.  I'll show mine next week.  ;-)


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.
