Podcast Episode 5: What to Wear & Choosing Patterns Mindfully

In this episode I talk about a couple re-dos of some older designs; review a couple books; discuss choosing patterns mindfully; teach you about lymph nodes for the At Home Pet Check; and update you on my progress on the health challenge.

DESIGNS IN PROGRESS

Lagniappe Mitts: Re-do of previous design for Knit Picks, worked in Capretta.  This version has directions for fingerless mitts with a ribbed cuff;  the change in gauge allowed the addition of an additional size.  If you’ve purchased Lagniappe in the past, you’ll be getting this version as well — look for the Rav pm when it’s published.

Josephine Mitts: Also a re-do for Knit Picks, worked in Galileo, more extensive than the re-do for Lagniappe.  This really ends up as a different pattern than the orginal Josephine and will be getting its own pattern entry on Ravelry. Yarn is with the sample knitter for the second mitt.

Josephine in Diamonds

I expect to do the photoshoot for the above mitts in mid May.

The Fibre Company: Sweater still in progress.  On the sleeves!
