Episode 127 - Cold AGAIN!



In this episode I show progress on just one of my knitting projects. We talk a bit about Knit-topia and the available spots. I share my step goals for 2014. I talk about my unofficial challenge for Ravellenics. There is a book review and a drawing, and I also share the answer to how I take care of my hand knit socks.

This episode is mostly jibber Jabber, I don't show any knitting or spinning because I really haven't had much progress. There is a tutorial for picot cast-on and picot bind off, along with the last of the podiversary/3000 member drawing. Enjoy!

Knitting Blooms - EP102 - Not Quite Myself




Friday, April 12, 2013
There isn't a tutorial today, but there is lots of stuff to share, like how I am watching and listening to podcasts, my swatching madness with the two sweaters I want to start, fitness-a-long and how to stay in touch with me while I am at Knit-topia. I hope you enjoy it!
