Today’s episode is a little different.  Instead of technical information, I’m talking about cultivating JOY through knitting.  The conversation revolves around a book I’ve been slowly reading called The Book of Joy. Please join the conversation about the podcast, knitting, meditation and The Book of Joy in my Ravelry Group!

Episode 5: Joy

Color affects everything.  It affects the way we perceive things and the way we feel.  It can lift up a mood or make us feel uncomfortable.  It can make us stop in our tracks to take note of something, and it can make us feel calm.  It is all around us, and yet, how often do we stop and pay attention to it?  After today’s episode, I hope you’ll do just that.  Make note of all the color schemes around you and find ways to pull them into your creative practice.

Episode 4: Color


          
        
        

        
          
            
          
            
                
                  
                
            
          
        
          
        

        
      
        
      

    
  


  










Today’s topic is one I think we always need reminders about… Gauge!  If you want something to fit, you’ve got to understand it!   Some links mentioned in the podcast: Needle Material Affects Gauge - blogpost from Alexis Winslow Swatching in the Round - blogpost by Andrea Rangel

In today’s episode, I talk about circular yokes!  I answer lots of questions I received about colorwork, fit, and… what IS a circular yoke?

You can also find a list links to all my circular yoke patterns below. Colorwork:
