2022/02/22

This week's episode is about the test knitting process - what to expect, how to do it, and when you should probably give a testing call a pass. (Hint: It's if you don't want to to knit the thing.) *Resources: * yarnpond.com @fattestknits School of Sweet Georgia Modern Colourwork Knitting What's on our needles this week: Soorik designed by Gudrun Johnson Gresham Wrap designed by Michael Vloedman ** The Make Good Stashdown is going strong!** It's the last week of

2022/02/08

Garter stitch is one of our favorite fabrics: elastic, stretchy, and squishy! NOTE: Karen said some nonsense about how to do a steeking panel during the question portion. Her nonsense was not correct. Listen to next week's episode instead of what she said here and you'll be much happier!

58: Frogging

make good: a knitting podcast ·

2022/01/25

It's called "frogging" because you rip-it, rip-it, rip-it out. Then there's tinking, which is just knitting in reverse! (Technically that would be gnittink, I suppose, but let's just go with it.) I did a kind of iffy job of explaining using dental floss as a lifeline. Interweave explains it better here.
