This episode was created with help from you! We asked for any and all questions about knitting cables over on Instagram, and our hosts Lee and Stacey along with producer Andi worked together to answer them! Some questions had the trio in agreement, and others showed how many different ways you can approach knitting. Can you guess how many times they recommend swatching? Plus, Lee and Stacey share what they did to stay busy during the ice storm that hit Portland in January, and discuss more new yarns and products that came out recently, including Static! 00:03 Welcome to the Knit Picks Podcast! 00:25 Lee and Stacey share what they’ve been up to. 09:16 The new Static’s inspiration is revealed: 80s TV! 14:11 Find out the origins of our new sweater-sized project bags. 18:01 Lee, Stacey, and Andi are answering cable knitting questions starting with, “Which cable pullover pattern would be a good beginner one?” 21:50 “When you use cables in a sweater does that make the sweater tighter when finished?” 24:37 “I have a pattern that has multiple different charts. How do you keep track of what row you are on?” 29:06 “Any tips for vertical gauge in patterns?” 31:26 “Cabled sweaters with superwash, yes or no?” 34:12 “How to get the right fit/size and not worrying the whole time it still fit when you are done?” 36:46 “Besides gauge swatches, what is the best way to get your sizing correct for a sweater?” 41:00 “Do you need special cable needles?” 45:06 “What notions and accessories should we have before starting our first cable knitting project?” 48:47 Credits Lee's cable-yoke sweater details blog post https://leedoesstuff.com/2024/01/26/my-improvised-cable-yoke-sweater/

It’s the perfect time of year for quick knits, and we were so delighted to feature several patterns from George of 10 Hours or Less in our latest stash-buster pattern collection, Déjà Yarn. You can probably guess what kind of patterns George specializes in (ones that take less than 10 hours to make), but you’ll be amazed to hear about his long career in the knitting industry that predates digital patterns. George also shares a glimpse inside his design process as he explains how he created his Art Deco Artisan Headband and Rolling Ribbing Hat for Déjà Yarn. Plus, Lee, Stacey, and Andi chat about their current projects, the Axiom KAL, and knitting while watching movies or reading. 00:02 Welcome to the Knit Picks Podcast. 00:46 Lee and Stacey share what they’ve been up to. 06:50 Andi joins Stacey to chat about Axiom. 13:20 Stacey and Lee talk more in depth about Déjà Yarn. 20:05 Lee and Stacey and joined by George from 10 Hours or Less who shares his background. 30:47 George shares his process for his two patterns in Déjà Yarn. 42:27 Stacey and George give some hints about a future 12 Weeks of Gifting pattern! 43:17 George is a big part of the Indie Design Gift Along and provides more information about how to participate. 53:55 George shares where else to find him and his 10 Hours of Less patterns. 55:13 Credits Swish Pops yarn https://www.knitpicks.com/yarn/swish-pops/c/5420478?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode372

Can you believe there are less than 12 weeks until the start of the holiday season? In this episode, Lee and Stacey chat about our annual 12 Weeks of Gifting, a series of free patterns released once a week leading up to the winter holidays. They share the concept behind it and how it began as well as how patterns are selected for it. Both of our hosts also created new designs for this year’s set of 12 patterns and describe their creative process for them. In addition to 12 Weeks of Gifting, there’s so much more going on! The Axiom KAL just started, so producer Andi hopped on to join Stacey in discussing starting the sweater. Lee and Stacey also talk about two new pattern collections and oodles of new yarns and new yarn colors. 00:03 Welcome to the Knit Picks Podcast! 00:36 Lee and Stacey share what they’ve been crafting in their free time. 02:29 Andi joins Lee and Stacey to discuss the Axiom KAL. 07:50 Lee isn’t participating in the KAL but has a Swish Pops sweater on her needles. 09:03 The 12 Weeks of Gifting are here! Stacey and Lee give the backstory behind our annual series of free patterns. 17:20 Lee designed two patterns for 12 Weeks of Gifting and describes that process along with Stacey. 25:44 We’ve got a new book called Déjà Yarn: Solid Color Stashbusters! 29:02 We’ve also got a new mini eBook called Heirloom: Cable Knits in Tweed. 33:22 Stacey’s dream has finally come true! Woodland Tweed is now available in gorgeous colors! 38:10 Hawthorne DK has arrived, perfect for heavy socks. 40:00 Lee’s excited about our new super bulky Fluff of the Andes and new colors of Alla Prima. 48:42 Lee, Stacey, and Andi tease two new yarns that will be coming soon in November. 51:55 Credits Axiom Sweater pattern https://www.knitpicks.com/axiom-sweater/p/52918D?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode371

We’re back from summer break and ready to start planning our autumn knits! Dozens of new colors of old favorites and a handful of brand-new yarns have come out since we last recorded, and Lee and Stacey are excited to share with you the development process of a few of their favorites. There isn’t just new yarn! There also are new patterns, and Stacey and Lee chat about our new tweed home collection that comes out the same day as this episode, Stay In & Knit: Tweed Patterns for Home as well as the transitional, lacey collection from earlier this summer, Nature Walk: Lace Patterns.

It’s Christmas in July! To celebrate, we’re pulling out an old interview we recorded last fall with Katelyn from Crochet.com about our matching stocking pattern collections, Filled With Joy and All is Bright. The interview got put aside when we all became too busy with our November Big Sale last year, but it’s full of fun tidbits about creating coordinating knit and crochet pattern collections, so we’re delighted to finally share it! Plus, when we recorded, we were in the middle of our Eldfell KAL. Katelyn joined in with us, and it was her first knit colorwork project. Lee and Andi share a few tips for stranded colorwork with her that would be useful for knitting stockings as well! Please note that this is an older interview from the vault. Although the eBooks and individual patterns are still available, the pattern kits mentioned in this episode have sold out. 00:03 Welcome to the Knit Picks Podcast! 00:15 We’re still on break but are popping in to share an interview from last year that never got shared. 03:26 Katelyn from Crochet.com joins hosts Lee and Stacey to chat about our 2022 stocking collections for both sites. 05:09 The stocking collection came from Katelyn brainstorming Christmas in July knits while planning last year’s pattern collections, and she worked with Stacey to plan colors and concepts. 11:32 Lee created coloring pages for Knit Picks and Liz created her own version for Crochet.com to go in the eBooks to help plan color variations. 15:15 Katelyn and our hosts dive into a few specific stockings with coordinating knit and crochet options in the respective collections. 18:47 Naming the patterns and collections was a fun but complex process to maintain the connection between the two collections and not use existing patterns’ and books’ names. 23:02 Remember our Eldfell KAL? Katelyn was a participant and shares a bit about her first time knitting stranded colorwork. Lee and Andi provide some colorwork tips! 31:40 Credits crochet.com https://www.crochet.com/?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode368

We’ve got a stunning new collection out today called Good Vibes & Groovy Lines, and with such a clear concept carried from moodboards to final layout, we thought this would be the perfect collection to use to share more information about how our collections are created!

They even share some tips for designers who’d like to contribute to future collections! And we’ve got good news if you’re in search of a summer KAL! We’re hosting a KAL to all make the Ice Fire Wrap by Donielle Showvay from Good Vibes & Groovy Lines, and Lee and Stacey are joined by Producer Andi to discuss color choices and modifications that make it an easier knit for adventurous beginners.

This is an extra special episode! Today we’re launching a new eBook called Coloring Outside the Lines with 50% of the sales for the first two years donated to Outside In, a nonprofit providing healthcare and social services, including LGBTQIA+ services, in Portland, Oregon. One of the founding members of our company’s DEI Committee, Remi, joins hosts Lee and Stacey to talk about his background, the work our DEI committee does, including planning our donation to Outside In, and the patterns in the new eBook. Remi also shares the work he does behind the scenes on our emails and to help make them more accessible by adding detailed alt text to every image. Plus, our podcasters give a not-so-subtle hint about a KAL coming soon and share the backstory behind the colorway names of a new yarn, Brava Recycle, a DK-weight yarn made of recycled acrylic. 00:03 Welcome to the Knit Picks Podcast! 00:35 Lee and Stacey share what they’ve been up to and give a hint on what's coming in our next episode. 09:38 Stacey and Lee introduce our latest collection, Coloring Outside the Lines. 19:21 Our coworker and DEI committee founding member Remi joins Stacey and Lee to talk about his background and work on the DEI committee. 31:22 The DEI committee started celebration day, which is a floating holiday used for meaningful holidays that aren’t in the regular schedule. 38:27 Remi talks about how the DEI committee helped choose a nonprofit, Outside In, to donate to in connection with Coloring Outside the Lines. 46:00 Remi attempts to choose a favorite pattern from Coloring Outside the Lines. 48:58 Despite not being a crafter when he joined the team, Remi has been learning to crochet. 55:05 Credits Berroco yarn company https://www.berroco.com/
