Episode 41 - Two Ranunculus Sweaters, shawls, socks, and future podcast ideas

Hello friends! My name is Amber. Welcome to my fiber arts podcast. This is where I discuss my knitting, crochet, and spinning projects with any fellow fiber artists who are keen to listen. The handmade life is a wonderful life, isn't it?

The fiber arts have been a part of my life in one form or another since I was a young girl. My grandmother taught me how to crochet (and knit, although that one didn't exactly stick at the time) when I was around the age of eight. Fortunately, I am blessed enough to even have a few of her handmade items that I have tucked away for safe keeping.

My family and I live in the rolling hills of Western Pennsylvania. We love the beautiful outdoors that surround us and spend a lot of time enjoying the landscape. However, I spend the majority of my free time with yarn and needles in hand. Knitting soothes my mind while at the same time feeding my need to create.

Thanks so much for joining me for this episode. I feel so blessed to be able to share my love of knitting and crafting with you.

I'm knitting the smallest size in a DK weight yarn and using size 8 needles. I also forgot to mention that I just did a regular bind off on the hem. The suggested bind off was very confusing to me!
