Episode 16: Knitting, Memory, Horror & A Troll

Welcome to episode 16 of Procrastiknitting! An episode in which we repeatedly celebrate recording our 15th episode… because we are supremely confused. Whoops!Elyssa really enjoyed this Instagram post by Marusique Stories. Lydia reminisces about buying yarn from Downtown Yarns during the height of the pandemic. Elyssa refers to another IG post we both really liked. Elyssa has been hanging out at BKB working on Gumnut Hats.Lydia was absolutely thrilled to find a Troll doll with real wool hair at an antique store and then we go off on an Ostheimer tangent for the ages. Sorry! But also, you’re welcome.Elyssa chatted with Fia of Schmookie Knits and got her Mini Bunny (aka Rainbowhead) back on track.Elyssa is also working on her Sophie Hood again.Lydia is still slowly working on her Scrappy Checkers. She loves it but steered Elyssa away from it as a pattern for herself due to lack of short row shaping for the yoke. Here’s some really illuminating short row info from Tin Can Knits. Lydia also brought out her Azor sweater to help explain this concept.Elyssa saw Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma and it really blew her mind AND inspired her to knit. Thanks so much for listening! New episodes come out every Monday. Find us on Instagram here and on YouTube here!Chapters:00:00 Milestones and Marking Time15:14 These Are Mommy's Toys22:59 Sophie Hood Mods27:19 WIP Reports36:43 Adding Short Rows44:16 Recreating Knits From Film
