SHOW NOTES:

Using a new microphone, not in love with it yet, but will continue to mess with the settings to get the best audio quality possible. (Sorry, audio snob alert!)

Join the new Ravelry Group here to get the latest on the podcast and to chat about all the things you’re working on!

(Book Talk starts at 49:00 – oof, long episode!)

WIPs

Old Romance Cardigan (still!!) by Joji Locatelli. Almost to the end of the endless stockinette!

Owls Sweater by Kate Davies – knitting this one continental, learned how to do a tubular CO, which is a bit fiddly, but produces a great edge. Using Alpaca Love (currently discontinued) by Stitch Nation by Debbie Stoller.

And a picture of the waist shaping on the back:

Vanilla Socks with Patons Kroy yarn

FOs

Still trying to find a good place to take pictures in my house!

Pontos Cardigan by Hilary Smith Callis, still flawed but getting some wear. Used repurposed cotton/acrylic blend from a frogged thrift store sweater. Buttons from Joann’s Fabrics.

Wear Anywhere Tunic from Purl Bee in clearance 100% cotton from Joann’s Fabrics. Made some adjustments to the pattern – not sure that was a good idea!
