Knitting Podcast Ep. 48 || Huge Sale = Yarn Haul

Acquisitions: My Yarn Haul from Knit Picks $2, $4, & $6 November Sale. My savings with this sale were amazing! After I discuss briefly my WIPs I show how much I saved by buying yarn for the sale price of $2/skein. Also, I discuss future knitting plans I have for this yarn I bought.

WIPs:

**Dishcloths: Simple self-drafted pattern that anyone can do garter stitch at the bottom and top, as well as 3 garter stitches on the sides. Then, I knit stockingnet stitch for a bit until I place a garter bump on the right side of the fabric, by knitting on the wrong side of the fabric. I am using Peaches and Cream 100% cotton yarn I get from Walmart. You can use any size needles for the yarn you choose, and I tend to use US 7(4.5mm) or US8(5mm).

**Morning Star Wrist Warmers from the book, Knit Like a Latvian, by Ieva Ozolina. I am using leftover Knit Picks Palette yarn in Pool and Orange with DPNs in the size US 0 (2mm), although the pattern recommends US 000. It's my first time knitting colorwork with DPNs and so far so good. I bought more yarn in the Pool color, so I will frog my first wrist warmer and change the edging to blue.

**Sailor Swift Top, by Kutovakika. I am using Patons Linen, a discontinued yarn. The colors are Sweet Potato and Goldenrod. I am loving making the striped pattern, and this garment will come in handy this winter to wear under my wool sweaters. I am using the recommended needle size US 2.5 (3mm).

**Set-In Sleeve Cardigan using the pattern book, The Knitter's Handy Book of Sweater Patterns, by Ann Budd, using Knit Picks Upcycle Alpaca Blend sport weight in the color Titanium. After some difficulty starting I have switched knitting needles to Knit Pick Reflections Lace in size US 2.5 (3mm) for a 1x1 ribbing and the body of the cardigan will be knit in US 4 (3.5mm). The first sleeve is done, the second has been cast on, and the back has been blocked.
