It feels like a weird week | wips and fos | knitting podcast ep. 21

A weird week where it’s only one WIP and mostly FOs, so kinda feels like it was a slow week. But this week’s update goes all over the place: wall decor, yarn buying habits, choosing yarn to design with, a super secret sneaky project, and missing my yarn stash in California.
Yarn stash tour coming soon but I’lm still figuring things out right now, but if you have any bulky yarn suggestions let me know!

I love the new designs. Am excited for them. I just bought your diamond in the rough sweater pattern. So excited to get started. There are so many of your patterns that I am excited to do! 😊

[@karaskniteng]

Awww thank you so much! I just started the second sleeve of my second Diamond In the rough but it’s taking me so long because I keep on getting distracted

[@kiarachiddick]

Super excited for the new fall drop! All the sweaters are so cute!

[@karaskniteng]

Aww thank you!

With the prints, I would buy the pdf download and then print it like at CVS or something like that. If it gets damaged, you can just reprint it. I'm really liking your podcast because it's not too long. Normal knitting podcasts are like an hour and I can't focus for that long.

[@karaskniteng]

Honestly I can't talk for that long hahaha but thank you I think I'll look into doing the digital downloads since that's a fantastic point

[@LiesbethD]

I love your designs.. I'm knitting also with cotton / needles 5.. I'm verry curious if you can make some design for that yarn... I'm just curious if you ever made a design with cotton yarn??

[@karaskniteng]

I usually don’t really like working with cotton! I think I’ve only made my Bennie sweater in cotton

I judge yarns by wpi rather then fingering, dk ets.

[@karaskniteng]

Ooo honestly I've never learned how to read yarns like that but it's on my list of things I want to do soon

[@PatientFarmer]

@@karaskniteng I find it very helpful in locating a good alternative yarn...but be warned, so many people don't use it and it makes it hard to judge some yarns 😅
