069. who knew there was so much to say about yarn (Patreon)

Hello my dears!! Here is our second July podcast -- I talk a little bit about some day-to-day happenings, and some cool opportunities, but the majority of this episode is just me gushing about yarn and crochet and knitting. It's been taking up a lot of space in my brain recently, so you'll have to forgive me hahah. 

These are all the patterns I mentioned:

• the Ursa and Ursina sweaters; and the Cottage cardigan by Jacqueline Cieslak
• the Jilly Cardigan and the Hattie Tee by Holly Woodward (also, here is that granny stripe cardigan I mentioned, as well as those two wrap tops)
• I'm So Basic Socks by Summer Lee (this pattern is free!!)
• Petite Knits -- this is that one designer with just gorgeous designs that are maybe a little too advanced for me right now
• Puffin yarn from Quince and Co. -- their whole site is gorgeous, all the yarn looks incredible
• and Brooklyn Tweed yarn!! The colorways *u*

Also, here is a link to the Tears of Themis official website so you can get an idea of the dudes I'd be attempting to draw. o///o

And here is a photo of the scrap blanket! As well as the tutorial I'm following for it. :o) 

So, the idea is you work in strips -- I'll probs add a few more inches to this strip, and then start on the next one by connecting it at the bottom to the green and then working my way up again. No seaming necessary, and barely any ends to weave in !! :D And I can use up those tiny bits of scrap yarn, and it winds up in a cool patchwork effect. I really like it and am excited to see it grow~

That's all for today! Love you lots, stay frosty out there xx

Love,
Chey
