Ep 78 - Happy 2026! Porty Pullover and Spinalong updates with WiPs and FOs too!

Welcome to the Calon Yarns Knitting Podcast where we explore knitting, crochet, spinning and more!

Hi there, I’m Lynne, coming to you from Cardiff, Wales, UK, and this is where I share what’s currently on my needles, new yarns and patterns I’m loving, and the stories behind each project.

Whether you’re knitting along, looking for inspiration, or just here for some yarn-filled chat, you’re in the right place.

In this episode:
I give you some knitting updates on my progress on my Porty Pullover along with my NightHawk slipover as well and finally getting to look inside my chest full of fibre! I have starting spinning for the #calonspinalong and will be spinning for the Soldotna by Caitlin Hunter and you are welcome to join in for whatever project floats your fibre boat! The plan is to spin and knit up by Stitch Fest West, which is Nov 1st and 2nd in Newton Abbot, Devon. You can join on the Ravelry forum Calon Spindling in the Calon Yarns community group there, or share your progress on Instagram with the hashtag #calonspinalong

💕 If you’re new here:
Welcome to the Calon Yarns community! Don’t forget to check out Sleeve Island, our Knit ’n’ Natter playlist sessions where we keep each other company as we work a few rows and talk about life, loves, and projects.

If you a returning viewer, it is so lovely to see you again — thank you for being part of the Calon Yarns Community. Let's dive in!
