December 07, 202153: Leftovers and Minis
From visible mending to stashbuster projects, friendship bracelets to bunny nuggest, this week's episode is full of ideas for how to use up the little bits of yarn that survive a project. (Assuming you didn't lose yarn chicken, that is!)
Aunt Bethany & her knitting
* Punch needle
* Colorwork!
* Embroidery

*Friendship bracelets
* Macrame & wall hangings
* Knit tiny things (think [MochiMochiLand](https://mochimochiland.com) for inspiration)
* Weaving

November 16, 202150: Knitting Socks
It's a sock knitting vocabulary quiz (hint: 10 points for already knowing something, 10 points for learning something new. Everyone wins!) Our Dear Scratch letter this week is about choosing sweater patterns as a new sweater knitter.
Left-hand dominant Ravelry knit & crochet group: On the Other Hand
Vocabulary terms you might encounter when you're knitting socks!
Cuff - the very top of your socks that hugs your ankle or at some point on your leg
Leg - the “body” of your sock above your heel and below the cuff
Heel - this is the curved or L-shaped bend of your sock that accommodates your heel
some kinds: short row heels, heel flap, afterthought heels, peasant heels
Gusset - shaping in the foot of the sock to accommodate movement
Toe Shaping
some kinds: wedge toe, round toe, left & right toe
Graft - also called kitchener stitch
Extra Credit: Negative Ease - ease is the degree to which your finished garment is larger (positive) or smaller (negative) than your body; ideal negative ease for socks is about 10% negative ease in terms of circumference & length
