  • Episode 12: Caterpillar Girl

    Hi there!

    In this episode, I finished a hat and a truly gorgeous sweater (I'm super satisfied with it!).  I've succumbed to another spring/summer cast on and generally am unwilling to knit on anything that isn't zingtastic on spring/summer color :)  I also chatter a bit about good friends, trips and the journey to getting comfy with being part of the knitting circle.

  • Episode 11: So Sticky Sweet and a Doggy Saga

    Hi there!

    In this episode, I finished one sock (and finally worry about catching second sock syndrome), am about 20 minutes from finishing my Sockhead Slouch Hat. The Chuck is working out beautifully and we have a chat about being real and needing to let Springfest colors slide through your fingers as you create.

    I also chatter a bit about good friends, trips and a doggy saga.

  • Episode 10: I'm a Knitting Goddess, At Least for Today

    Hi there!

    In this episode, I am relieved to have another pair of socks done--the palate cleanser. I talk about learning how to ladder down cable rows to add cables I forgot and switch directions when I've done it wrong. Ahem. And I chatter a bit about feeling a little directionless in my next knitting projects--except for the do rag ;).

  • Episode 9: I Need a Sock Win Y'all

    Hi there!

    In this episode, I am relieved to have a pair of socks done that are wearable (but still not perfect). I resurrect some previously languishing socks (with mistakes in them) and start a nice ribbed sock palate cleanser. I talk about a couple of other WIPs, my inability to accurately count rows, a delicious yarn store I visited when I was in Denver and some of the indie dyed skeins I brought home. Finally, I chat about my plans to avoid my annual spring hermitting.

  • Episode 8: Perfectionism Is Not a Dirty Word, Maybe

    Hi there!

    In this episode, I positively gush over how beautiful my FO is. We talk about how great Susan B Anderson's Smooth Operator pattern is, some of my other WIPs and a languish anguish that will be picked back up likely before next episode. I search for some sympathy on science fair boards and tech that always fills up at the same time and my very complicated relationship with "perfection."

  • Episode 7: Joy and the Journey

    Hi there!

    In this episode, we talk the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat--or a finished object and total frog.  We also chat about some WIPs I'm excited about, a languish anguish, a rant and a rave and some deep thoughts about how its important for me to remember that knitting is my joy and I get joy from the journey (unless I forget that focus).  It's also a lovely day as I podcast and I'm a little giddy from all of the fresh air.

  • Episode 6: Nerd Alert and Laughter

    Hi there in this episode, we talk about my WIPs (spice market is almost done!! and nerding out on yarnquest), my on deck cast-on-all-the-things desires, my visit from my long lost sewing mojo (and resulting gorgeous new knitting bags), a rant and a rave as well as some deep? thoughts on crafty competitors (and how odd that is). Throughout, I end up laughing at myself a lot. I guess I'm just not a take myself too seriously kind of girl!

  • Episode 5: Yarn Gluttony and Sausage Casing

    Hi there in this episode, we talk about my latest finished objects (pixelated pullover!!!), my wips and getting my geek on (Yarn Quest MKAL anyone), the final round up of my truly gluttonous retail therapy with holiday cash, a rant and a rave as well as a fairly personal segment on why I feel like I can't actually knit all the things because of some recent body image issues that have cropped up. Not a downer, just an honest assessment. 

    Please join me in my yarn gluttony celebration and get to know my deep thoughts about things that affect getting my yarn on! Show notes can be found at saltyjoknits.com
