Commuter Knitter - Episode 80 - Words, Jen!

This week I chat about the right side to place buttons, test out a luxury yarn, and review Sock Architecture.  Enjoy!

Drive

Exploding Vanilla TARDIS socks in Little Mount Yarn Co Wanderer Sock

Zigzagular Socks by Susie White of the Prairie Girls Knit and Spin in a One Twisted Tree bag by Susie's co-host Danie.  I used Megan Williams' OMG heel

Picked up stitches for Ginny's Cardigan button bands.

Test knit - more to come when the pattern is released

Test driving Zealana AIR Marle yarn in a pair of Fingerless Mitts.  Thank you to Zealana and Yarn Sisters for providing a ball of this luxury yarn for my review.  You can find a detailed review, with photos on the blog.

Finish-Along until the end of 2014 - #ckfal2014

Road Maps

In light of ALL the socks I have on the needles that I discussed last week, I thought it appropriate to review Sock Architecture by Lara Neel of Math4Knitters blog.  You definitely will hear more about this book in the weeks to come as I give a few of the heels and toes a try.  Thank you to Cooperative Press for providing a copy of the eBook for review -- and a copy for you, too.  Enter to win a copy in the Commuter Knitter Podcast Ravelry group.

Party Bus

Check out the Ravelry group for a chance to win a skein of the yarn and a set of gnome stitch markers.

There is also a coupon code for 15% off your entire purchase from the Little Mount Yarn Co. Etsy shop for Commuter Knitter listeners, but you'll have to tune into the episode for that ;-)  The coupon code runs through November 1st.
