Of course, I promise you something, and then I get a job interview, and then a new job...and now I'm packing to move. But, I have my equipment in a labeled box, so hopefully once things settle down I will be able to podcast.
I was going to try to podcast today over my lunch hour, but now both cats are awake and want to sit on my lap. It's very distracting. I have show notes and everything all ready, so maybe next week. Thank you for your patience!
I think we can safely say that I tend to take the summer off - but that doesn't mean I've faded. I will return in September. Cross my heart and hope to lose all of my dpn's.
On today's show I talk about getting paid in yarn, sock toes, designing for short and round people, and substituting yarn/changing gauge/WIP HIM. I also annoy everyone by having to stop and google for Annie Modesitt's site. I mentioned Modesitt and White Lies Designs as being especially good for girls with curves and Big Girl Knits and its sequel, More Big Girl Knits.
It has been two months since my last podcast, but I swear I have not faded. This time of year just kicks my butt. Hopefully, I will be able to do another show soon. I have a stack of ideas!
In this show, I cover listener questions and theorize about a square you could start with a gauge swatch and finish up whatever size you like (assuming it is larger than the original swatch).
Here are some design ideas for two colors with this method. The different patterns are all made from the same type of square, rotated.
