This week on Knit A Spell, Katie is joined by magical maker and Skein Shop owner Sasha Ogden, who shares how she adapted the River Mitts pattern into a brand new matching design—the Bridge Hat! 🧶✨

They chat about embracing imperfect yarns, getting creative with stash and handspun, and why adapting patterns is a magical skill every knitter should explore. Plus, they brainstorm some wild ideas for other double-cuffed projects, and Katie gets an update on Sasha’s intuitive approach to designing with accessibility in mind.
