Episode 13: Your BFF is Always (M1)Right

Hi guys! We have been knitting some stuff and we can’t wait to show ya.Elyssa shows off her Re:designed Project bag and it’s stunning, as always. It’s currently filled with Linen Quill yarn that she’s using to knit a gorgeous Mix Tape Tee. We talk about decreases for a minute. Just remember: Your BFF is always right! And she (usually?) comes first.Anyway, we discuss Mix Tape construction and Elyssa gives a shoutout to The Yarn Randomizer on YouTube for all the knowledge she shares, specifically a video about picking up stitches.Lydia has cast on for a kid size Scrappy Checkers Sweater and has been knitting on it like a fiend. She’s making the 6-8 year size in various yarns. She also posted on Instagram about why you might want to knit your sweater neckbands sooner than you think. Lydia pops the wip over her head and we discuss the beautiful but ill-fated Holger sweater our friend Malisa made.Elyssa wants to start a Scrappy Checkers too so she went to Knits & Pearls and got to dig through some ancient orphan yarn treasures. What an absolute dream.Elyssa has a pair of adorable slippers her Aunt made long ago. Here’s a free pattern for something very similar!Lydia went to this knitting/craft meetup at her local library. Someone was working on a Bikini Slipover and it was very pretty and intriguing.Cleo’s Yarn Shop is mentioned and Elyssa is debating purchasing more of a very special and rare (?) Manos del Uruguay Alegria Grande in Ushuaia.Thanks so much for listening!
