School of Knit: Hat Chat
We have a running joke about our hats. Since we often knit a lot of hats to be donated, we aren't making them for a specific head size. "They will fit someone," is our common refrain.
Shocking confession… we don't swatch for hats! Therefore of course our hats often don't turn out the size we intended. But you know…they'll fit someone…
We share some tips on how to make that hat fit your wearer's head.

We talk about blocking your knitting.
We recorded this one outside during Gayle's recovery week. There is a bit of ambient wind noise but it is over quickly! 😊 We share a little bit about our experiences attending a small California wool and fiber event and chat about why the best part is getting together with friends and the inspiration we get from seeing everyone's projects and samples.

This is the last summer episode to be recorded on campus in our "studio in the forest" as students return to campus later this month. Alas the parking patrol was already back in full force and we were forced to relocate in the middle of recording. (We were in the very back of a little-used area in order to have the quiet company of the redwoods. We weren't bothering anyone. Yet they made us leave... twice!)
If you are interested in the trees and want to know what a fairy ring is, you can find more information here. Redwood trees give birth to new generations and speak to each other through their roots. They are amazing! But on to the knitting...

No, we are not knitting at the Olympics. We are enjoying the athletic endeavors from the comfort of our homes. 😊 But hey... I did hear that there's a diver who knits in the stands. Anyone else hear about that?
