In this episode, I talk about knitting Brise cardigan no.3 and sewing a blouse based on a commercially made top. There's also exciting news about Slow Fashion Summer Camp, a series of class sessions focused on handwork and the creation of wearable art. Finally, I share some literary passages about the wood thrush, which, as Thoreau noted, is "a Shakespeare among birds."

I’m knitting Brise cardigan no. 3 in beautiful lace weight yak yarn, thinking carefully about small modifications and sharing tips for picking up and knitting stitches on the collar — in ONE take! Also in this episode, finished socks, new socks, pattern drafting, wool dresses, clogs, farro salad, and a poem for Pride Month.

In this episode, Marybeth and I reflect on our 100 days of wearing a wool.and dress and pairing it with hand sewn and hand knit garments from our wardrobes. 

In this episode, I catch listeners up on  recent knitting projects, like my completed Baltian sweater. I'm contemplating patterns for summer tops.  Plus, sustainable options for buying and recycling and a poem by Amy Gerstler.
