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.
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.
Having finished the back of my Wednesday Addams vest… twice, I show you the best and worst intarsia knitting I’ve ever seen. I see this as having a full spectrum of skills rather than evidence that I am indeed the #lazyknitter. I share some of your #famousknits TV and movie inspiration and talk about what makes a knitwear design graphic. I share lots of graphic knitwear designs, so the linkage is heavy.
