I’m still knitting on the same projects as last episode, so I indulge in some dream knitting and talk about three patterns that have my attention for spring / summer knitting. There’s a lot of hand stitching underway, including my Alabama Chanin bolero and dress, plus a partial placket shirt with the help of Cal Patch. I include a recipe for black sesame cornbread and two poems by Poet Laureate Ada Limǒn. Plus, the winner of the Q1 prize is announced!

Reviving My Oldest WIP
It may have been more than ten years since I began knitting the Inspira Cowl with colorful, playful, frustratingly tangly Noro yarn. After a long hibernation, it is BACK and I'm determined to finish. Plus, casting on the Pressed Flowers shawl, continuing work on a hand sewing project, baking, and a poem by Margaret Ray.

Mousa Mashup
It's a (late) review of my visit to Vogue Knitting Live in NYC and the details of a newly-finished knitting project. Plus, a poem by Ellen Bass, sewing another Amy Jumpsuit and giving woolens a refresh in the snow!

Sweater in a Week!
You don't necessarily need a sweater's quantity of yarn to knit a sweater. My new Orbital Jumper used up most of my scraps and leftovers. It's cozy, warm and uniquely mine. Plus, what's on my needles now and I finally have a craft room instead of an office with an ironing board in the corner!

Really Good Sweater
My recently-finished knit is a REALLY good sweater. So good, I plan to knit another one very soon. This, and all my other project details, plus some boba inspiration for the holiday season are included in this episode.
