Another installment of my Famous Knits series where I put my shameful amount of tv watching hours to good use by finding great knitwear ideas for you! I share my Davern Tam, talk nutiden, and wether or not I will ever have a facelift.
Episode 88 is where I review the last year of makes and making mistakes, lol. I talk about knitting and crochet wins and fails along with life wins and fails. Happy new year!
You know how I’ve been focused on recreating some famous knits from tv, movies, etc the last few months? Well, Christmas was the perfect excuse to make the How I…
Here’s how to use a motley collection of stash to recreate a #famousknit from How I Met Your Mother. that doubles as an ugly Christmas sweater. There’s the usual podcast chatter as I finish my sweater and try a weirdo armpit fix. Now you can make your own moose sweater and be cool like me. Sigh.
I make an explanation and apology in case my last disjointed video didn’t land as intended. Then I talk all about two sides of the Christmas sweater coin: the ugly (How I Met Your Mother Moose sweater) and the traditional and the beautiful and traditional (Spleodar yoke sweater.)
I talk early 2000s knitting revival ethos, activism, plus some pre-holiday blues seep through as I compare that time with my struggle to make a podcast in the era of “me-as-product,” and the path I see going forward. Hint: I can’t hit the metrics and I don’t want to.
This is a fun little video where I flip through Ashleigh Wempe’s Mosaic Knitting Workshop book, talk mosaic knitting vs intarsia, and show my Saguara Sunset Afghan progress- perfect use of Mandala Ombre yarn. I share what I like about the book and how to win a copy in my giveaway.
I share your ideas for great graphic sweater designs spanning from the 80s to today! I also continue my earlier conversation on the ugly moose and do some old-fashioned personal rambling about health breakthroughs or potential breakthroughs.
What makes an ugly Christmas sweater ugly and why I am making one rather than buy a cheap fast fashion version? I talk about famous Ugly Christmas sweaters and misshaped moose.
In this Famous Knits installment, I help you find patterns for your own DIY Gilmore Girls knit and crochet projects and give ideas for reverse engineering a few. I rant a bit but don’t completely trash Rory because I still want to smell snow.
