Ever felt such gratitude or love for another human and you were compelled to knit something for them? How did that gift knitting go?

Surprise! I am showing up unexpectedly in your ears with this special episode. Today I am reflecting on my last passage around the Sun, and sharing things I want to take with me into the following year. I am eager to leave behind a scarcity mentality and get excited about the joys of abundance--- in my life, ESPECIALLY IN MY KNITTING! So join me today to explore turning a mountain of WIPs into a molehill and some lessons in releasing a knitted anchor of my own design.

Ever heard about the knit along (knit-a-long, KAL, knit together...) three days before it was ending and wished you could've joined? Or maybe you just aren't keen on social media mega groups? Then you are in for a treat today my friend! This episode shares about the Nightshift shawl by Andrea Mowry and how I didn't have to knit it in isolation. After this episode, you might just want to consider how you can take action and create your own knitting community as well!

Aloha Friend! This week our time together includes some ideas on how to knit up some momentum, like the handspun socks I knit inside of two days. Fast and satisfying! I actually spent more time journalling about it than making them it seemed! 

I hope you enjoy hearing some ideas and suggestions of things you can knit that are small and could take relatively little time, but still provide a meaningful knit. 

If you are a brand new knitter or a seasoned veteran, there are always things you can do to inject an added dose of joy in to your creative process…and you could use up some of that stash yarn that I heard a few of you have on your Knitting New Year’s Resolution List to work through!

So have a listen to the podcast. 

If you enjoy it, consider sharing the podcast with a friend or two!
