Episode 8: We love to talk about socks!



We love to talk about socks!


In this episode, Maire is joined by her friend Chelsea. We very quickly learn that Chelsea not only has really freakin' long hair, but also knits continental.

Chelsea mentions the Naturally Curly Crafters group on Ravelry as a resource for long-hair-growing, should you choose to do so.

On Chelsea's Needles:
- Homegrown Moebius Scarf in k3, p3 ribbing out of Blue Sky 50% silk/suri alpaca
- Hawthorne Socks are off the needles and currently being worn. Another pair about about to be cast on.

On Maire's Needles:
- February Lady Sweater: still stalled
- September Mystery Sock: ditto
- Falling Snow by Jennifer Hoel: OMG a Xmas stocking!
- Robin's Beer Socks: About halfway through the leg of sock #2.
- Fair Leonore: Might look like socks you've seen elsewhere....

We give a very brief explanation of the difference between garters and garters.

We have a discussion on the Fleegle Heel, and how it is awesome for those who like to knit toe-up socks.

We mention, however briefly, the following:

- Gina Brown's yarn store in Calgary, AB
- Make One Yarn Studio in Calgary, AB
- Knitmore Girls podcast
- Brass Needles Podcast (please, please, please find a reliable rss feed for those of us who don't use iTunes!)

We geek out on the non-Apple universe and a mild distaste for iTunes.

I'll be reviewing the podcast again in the coming week, so will add any extra links as I come across them!
