episode 14 Knotty Giraffe Knits

Welcome back to my knitting chats.. It’s been a few months since I recorded last. This episode features my Stephen West Color Popportunity socks as one of two finished objects and the Helga sweater I’m currently knitting. I’m hoping for some help as I try to navigate the uncharted territory of changing a pattern from knitting flat to knitting in the round. Thanks for any tips you can offer!

Over half of this episode is reading as it's been more than two months and I read a lot. Feel free to sign off after the knitting if you're not a reader. I'm a fan of Canadian literary fiction but have thrown some international titles into my line up this time around. For more in-depth reviews, you can follow me on GoodReads here:   / giraffette
