Commuter Knitter - Episode 66 - Better Late Than Never

Image
Thank you so much to everyone who reached out over the last month between episodes.  I know I probably sound like a broken record with "life getting in the way of the podcast", but that has been my reality over the last several months.  And given that this episode was recorded Monday, November 11th and only being released on Saturday November 16th, it still hasn't let up.  Going forward in an attempt to keep a regular schedule, I am officially switching to an every-other-week recording schedule.  The weekly schedule just is not feasible right now.  There will be a planned hiatus from mid-December until after the first of the new year when I'll resume recording every other week.  Again, thank you for bearing with me and understanding.

Basket of WIPs

Image
Earlier today I posted this photo of my Basket of WIPs on Instagram, and I received quite a few comments about my project bags. It dawned on me that while I talk about my WIPs - the patterns, the yarn, the needles - each week on my podcast, I very rarely talk about the project bags.  I suppose that is the nature of the audio podcast vs. the video podcast where hosts usually show the bag, too. Some girls are into shoes, others makeup.  Me? Yarn & project bags. And given that this is a blog for a knitting podcast, I am sure that 99.9% of you feel the same way. So, let's talk about the project bags. Starting in the top left corner, the T.A.R.D.I.S. yarn bag is from Casey of Tangerine Designs .  Inside you will find my Uncle Argyle double-knit scarf for Carlos. Moving clockwise, you can barely see the zipper behind the Lorax bag, we have the Starry Night T.A.R.D.I.S. box bag from Stitched by Jessalu with the Big Bang Theory scarf inside.  Given the curre...
