A fun ramble through the joy we get from knitting, especially when we execute our knitting plans. From the most basic beginner’s hat project, to colorwork, and steeked patterns with very little guidance, I love embracing the knitting process as our own and I truly delight in sharing that process in this little corner of the internet!
We begin with the age-old question, if you’re a beginning knitter, where do you start? Last winter I wrote an introductory hat pattern and taught 12 of my friends how to knit a hat from scratch! For most of them this was their very first knitting project, and they all did amazing! Now, I’m putting it out into the real world, and I’d LOVE for you all to give it a whirl.

Then it’s off to the race to Rhinebeck (aka New York Sheep and Wool Festival) with not one, but TWO major color work sweaters. That’s right, it turned out as I was bringing together yarn and patterns after my last podcast, it turns out I was really thinking about two different knitted projects. Watch along as I get into the simple joys of the Celeste Sweater from Petite Knit, and all the crazy mods I’m making to Marie Wallin’s Seaton Sweater!
And in case I didn’t say it enough, if you see me at any of the events around Rhinebeck Sheep and Wool Festival later this month, PLEASE COME SAY HI! I adore checking out what you’re wearing and planning to knit up, and if you ever need a color consult, I’m at the ready!
