10,000 Stitches Podcast, Episode 76 - Richmond doesn't know how to autumn

October 10, 2017

Links to things I mentioned

FO's: Villiviini

WIP's: Effervesce, Ondine, Manfriend socks

Coming up, maybe: Exploration Station, Mosaic Blanket, Brioche Toe Up Socks

Shops/new toys: Wide clutch from Target, my Etsy shop

Current KAL: Orange or colorwork KAL chatter thread

Other stuff: Yarn to Table podcast


Question of the Week

What is a "trick" that you just don't get?  Something that seems to save everyone else a lot of time but for you would be totally worthless?


If you want to see more of my knitting, feel free to befriend me on Ravelry.

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

10,000 Stitches Podcast, Episode 75 - Don't tell my mom!

October 3, 2017

Links to things I mentioned

FO's: Vanilla socks 

WIP's: Villiviini, Vivid cowl, Effervesce

Coming up, maybe: Ondine, Mosaic Blanket, Brioche Toe Up Socks

Shops/new toys: Dances with Wool, Stanwood Needlecraft (I got the Amish style swift)

Current KAL: Orange or colorwork KAL chatter thread


Question of the Week

Totally selfish question - should I knit an Exploration Station?  This would be my first Stephen West pattern and it looks so cool but for those who have made one, do you wear it a lot?

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.
