Episode 15: How (and why) I started knitting.

April 15, 2022 Gemma Adeva

After a period of silence, the podcast is back 🙂 The truth is, it hasn't been easy sitting down to record with everything that's happening around us...

In this episode I'm going to take the opportunity to catch up (I've made progress on a lot of projects!) and I'm going to tell you how I started knitting and why I got into it a whopping 18 years ago, hahaha.

NOTES FOR THIS EPISODE

Sections: On my needles, Knitflix.

– All my ⁠ Anna's Summer Cardigans ⁠ are finished and with their new owners. The last one was a total failure because the size didn't fit her… but her sister will be able to use it when she grows a little. The ⁠ Drops Cotton Merino ⁠ colors I used for all three jackets were 15, 20, and 29.

Out of curiosity, I timed how long it took me to knit the last jacket, and you'll be surprised to know it took 21 hours and 57 minutes.

– The pattern for the scrap blanket I’m knitting this year is the ⁠ Jelly Roll Blanket ⁠ by The Bakery Bears.

– And at ⁠ The Knit Cafe ⁠ we're knitting the ⁠ Ingrid Sweater ⁠ together (also from Petite Knit), you can still join the KAL if you'd like! I'm using shade 02 of ⁠ Drops Puna ⁠ , which is super soft 100% alpaca.
