Episode 22 ~ Socks & Mittens


Hi, Knitters,
First, I was a guest on the Curious Handmade podcast this week. 



The lovely Helen Stewart is so charming and I have loved her podcast since she started recording. I had a great time chatting with Helen. Hop on over and take a listen if you are interested.


For more news, I have recorded a new podcast. Episode 22 is now available on YouTube! Yay! What do you think about me only posting on YouTube and not on iTunes? It is so much faster and easier for me to post on YouTube and I think I would record more if I didn't have to jump through all of the hoops to get the video onto iTunes. I would really love to know what you think! 

If you leave a comment to enter the giveaway announced on the podcast and here on the blog for the beautiful tray, please let me know how you feel about this.  


Here are the links the podcast:

My Craftsy classes:  Wee Ones and The Not So Itty-Bitty Giraffe



























My Ellison Bay socks in The Wool Barn Tweed Sock in the Soft Pink color.


My Lollipop Yarn socks for my son in 2 balls of self-striping combined.


I have the beautiful blue mug like the one in the photo above and I love it!



The blue tray in the photo is the giveaway item today. Click here to read more about it! It is priced at $34.00. 

Please leave a comment on the blog post to enter to win the blue garter stitch tray by Creative with Clay's Charan Sachar. Thank you, Charan, for the beautifully crafted prize from your shop! 

Your comment must include your Ravelry name or an email address so I can contact you if you win. Please leave only one comment. There is a delay before your comment will appear so please only click on Publish one time.

Have a great day and good luck if you enter to win!

I watch podcasts via iTunes and YouTube-- I think most knitters who follow podcasters will watch wherever you post. Go with only YouTube if it simplifies things.

Love the tray! I also love your sock pattern. Recently made my first pair of socks using it. I've been knitting for 20 years but was chicken to make socks due to the needle size. Your pattern helped me get past that fear! Thanks!!

Hi Susan.
A few years ago when you came out with that shawl p stern I knit it for my daughter. She wears it often and I have to say I think I need one too! Thanks for the give away- I am headed over to creative with clay. I have some gifts to purchase I think!

I love the garter stitch tray! I am finding so many cute things that are knitting themed anymore. They know we knitters will spend money on knitted items, even if it really isn't yarn, fiber, or clothes! Would love to have this! I like the Youtube venue just fine. I look forward to your podcasts. Great interview with Helen of Curious Handmade by the way. Thanks for the giveaway! Ravelry name; auntidda.

Your pink tweed socks came out charming, Susan, and seeing them has ignited an "all the pink things must be knitted" desire in me! I've also been an admirer of Charan's wonderful and creative works and am delighted to have a chance to win the blue tray.

Have you seen the Midlothian mittens by Laura Chau? They're color work with a liner out of lace weight alpaca, which must be very light and warm. I've had that pattern for ages and still haven't made the mittens but I want to! Maybe something like that would work for a liner for your color work mittens.

It was so nice to see you again. I always enjoy hearing what you are up to and seeing some of your hand knits. The tray is just beautiful and unique. I love the color as well :) I will have to go take a peek and see what else he has. I hope you have a lovely weekend.

That tray is beautiful! I tend to listen to my audio podcasts while I'm on a walk or driving, so I keep those in iTunes on my phone. But video podcasts are my time to sit and knit and enjoy them and usually go straight to YouTube or the podcaster's website. I say if it means we'll get more episodes of your great podcast just post on YouTube!

Tell us if you ever line the mitten! Learning to line is my next goal, so I'm looking for any help with that. If the mitten is Aran weight, do you use a fingering or sport weight yarn to line? If it's a small weight yarn, do you pick up and knit more stitches?

Love the clay knit piece!

Love the suggestions you gave in the interview for teaching new ones how toknit in the round first. It makes so much sense! :) A co-worker of mine wants to learn, so I will definitely suggest knitting in the round first.
I really enjoy your blog, thank you for taking the time to upload everything!!
Happy spring :)

I love these pottery pieces and blue is my favorite color! Ctashton@gmail.com

Jen said...

I just recently started subscribing and watching on YouTube. I much prefer it to iTunes. I think there are several popular video (knitting related) podcasts that are on YouTube only, so you would not be the only one doing one, but not the other. Or maybe I see more now that I'm on YouTube? Hard to tell.
That little try is great and would be perfect for my husband's little cactus collection!! For the first time in 8 years we have house plants and he wanted cactuses. 😂 We found some little ones and put them in the kitchen window. They need a saucer or tray, I looked several places this weekend and I think this is just the right size.

Best wishes to all!

Unknown said...

I love that garter pattern tray! Garter stitch is one of my favorites. It is so simple, but so squishy and cozy. I really like his mugs and yarn bowls as well! I know what I want for my birthday or Christmas now!

I think it would be fine if you only posted to YouTube. As long as I know where to find you I'm fine, and I'd prefer more podcasts, so if iposting only to YouTube makes it easier, I say go for it.
I love the pottery pieces. Must check out his etsy store. I'd love to have that blue tray! Thanks for the chance to win it.
