Jasmin has been knitting away on the Cascade Cardigan, and loves it. It is themed after The Very Hungry Caterpillar
.This week Gigi has finished both sleeves of her Katje and is working on the bottom of the hoodie. On the Playful Stripes Cardigan, all that remains to be done is the finishing. We discuss alternate ways of finishing loose thread ends. Jasmin saw a possible solution on Clara Parkes' instagram feed.
Gigi will be finishing the second of the Magic Carpet Socks. She finished a preemie hat and put a few more rows on socks for Genevieve out of yarn left over from Papa Knitmore's socks.

by Hunter Hammersen
Greetings. Love the episode. I wanted to mention the Dansko Funky Knit shoes: the colors wouldn't go with every pair of hand knit socks, but they are so much fun. I have people complement them all the time.
ReplyDeleteHave you looked at Tessa Ann buttons on esty? She has one called caddie caterpillar that is very cute.
ReplyDeleteHave you thought of using shrinkydink material? It comes in opaque white and frosted, can be photocopied upon, and when you use a hole punch you can make button hole holes. It is available in do it yourself packets at big box craft stores in the jewelry or scrap booking aisles.
ReplyDeleteSome buttons handmade on etsy are made this way....
Good luck!
Another great podcast. I checked out the miracle ironing board cover and pinned it on pinterest. Now I won't forget.
ReplyDeleteShoes, buttons, yum!
