In this episode, Lee and Stacey are joined by designer Yu Ra Kim, also known as Knitboop, to discuss her work, including her recent pattern in our collection Déjà Yarn: Single Color Stashbusters. They also chat about her patterns in previous collections, like the Trellis Tee, and her next upcoming design.

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 Lee's Swish Pops cardigan project (ravelry link) https://www.ravelry.com/projects/leethal/cropped-cardi Hawthorne DK https://www.knitpicks.com/yarn/hawthorne-dk/c/5420481?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode372 Lee's Movie Theatre Sweater (ravelry link) https://www.ravelry.com/projects/leethal/theya-pullover Axiom Sweater pattern https://www.knitpicks.com/axiom-sweater/p/52918D?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode372 Axiom knit-along https://blog.knitpicks.com/tag/axiom-kal/?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode372 Axiom progress so far https://www.instagram.com/p/CyOYAWsMCW8/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== How to Convert a Seamed Sweater to Seamless https://blog.knitpicks.com/how-to-convert-a-seamed-sweater-to-seamless/?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode372 Knitting & Reading At The Same Time blogpost https://blog.knitpicks.com/knitting-reading-at-the-same-time/?utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode372 Deja Yarn: Single Color Stashbusters https://www.knitpicks.com/sale/deja-yarn-single-color-stashbusters/c/302139?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode372 Prerogative Cowl https://www.knitpicks.com/prerogative-cowl/p/54214D?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode372 Holil Yeoh patterns: https://www.knitpicks.com/patterns/holli-yeoh/c/30026807?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode372 Wonderfluff Ombre https://www.knitpicks.com/yarn/wonderfluff-ombr/c/5420427?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode372 Urwen Cowl https://www.knitpicks.com/urwen-cowl/p/54210D?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode372 Claire Slade patterns https://www.knitpicks.com/patterns/claire-slade/c/30026803?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode372 Heatherly Worsted https://www.knitpicks.com/yarn/heatherly-worsted/c/5420451?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode372 High Desert Worsted https://www.knitpicks.com/yarn/high-desert-worsted/c/5420425?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode372 Weekend Lounging Socks https://www.knitpicks.com/weekend-lounging-socks/p/54215D?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode372 Art Deco Artisan Headband https://www.knitpicks.com/art-deco-artisan-headband/p/54213D?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode372 Rolling Ribbing Hat https://www.knitpicks.com/rolling-ribbing-hat/p/54212D?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode372 Swish Worsted https://www.knitpicks.com/yarn/swish-worsted/c/5420153?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode372 Swish DK https://www.knitpicks.com/yarn/swish-dk/c/5420168?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode372 12 Weeks of Gifting 2023 patterns https://www.knitpicks.com/patterns/12-weeks-of-gifting-2023/c/300202?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode372 Indie Design Gift-A-Long (Ravelry link) https://www.ravelry.com/groups/indie-design-gift-a-long 10 Hours or Less user profile (Ravelry link) https://www.ravelry.com/people/10HoursorLess 10 hours or Less patterns on Ravelry (ravelry link) https://www.ravelry.com/designers/10-hours-or-less 10 Hours or Less patterns on Lovecrafts https://www.lovecrafts.com/en-us/user/maker/459f818e-d58a-442b-8e15-8dead451fdab 10 Hours or Less on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/10hoursorless/

Every knitter ends up with yarn they don't plan to use and don't know what to do with, and that's the problem Zeb from Disco Fibers is looking to solve! He joins our hosts Lee and Stacey to talk about starting a yarn thrift store in the Portland, OR area that helps get unused yarn out of the back of the closet and into the hands of knitters that will love it. Plus, Andi joins Stacey to discuss our upcoming KAL, where we'll all be knitting the Axiom Sweater by Claire Slade! Andi and Stacey chat about their yarn choices and some modifications to the pattern. 00:03 Welcome to the Knit Picks podcast! 00:18 Lee and Stacey share what they've been up to lately. 09:59 We're announcing our new knit-along: The Axiom Sweater! 14:14 Stacey and Andi share their Axiom yarn choices and modification plans 23:01 Our hosts are joined by Zeb from Disco Fibers to talk about yarn thrift stores! 24:21 Zeb shares why he was inspired to start Disco Fibers 31:54 Stacey asks Zeb about using WhatNot 36:50 Zeb shares his plans for the future of Disco Fibers 41:11 Lee asks about the Disco Fibers intake process 50:39 Lee and Zeb discuss additional craft thrift stores outside of the Portland, OR area 54:55 Credits Lee's cardigan project in Swish Pops (ravelry link) https://www.ravelry.com/projects/leethal/cropped-cardi Swish Pops yarn https://www.knitpicks.com/yarn/swish-pops/c/5420478?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode370 Twisted Stitch Sourcebook (book with cardigan pattern) https://www.abramsbooks.com/product/norah-gaughans-twisted-stitch-sourcebook_9781419747564/ Worsted Socks pattern https://www.knitpicks.com/worsted-socks/p/51226D?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode370 Lee's marled socks project (ravelry link) https://www.ravelry.com/projects/leethal/worsted-socks WotA Classics ebook https://www.knitpicks.com/wota-classics-simple-knits-in-wool-of-the-andes-worsted-ebook/p/75447D?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode370 Bare Stroll Glimmer yarn https://www.knitpicks.com/yarn/bare-stroll-glimmer/c/5420261?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode370 Ventisca Slipover pattern https://www.knitpicks.com/ventisca-slipover/p/54139D?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode370 Rey Bucket Hat sewing pattern https://www.seamwork.com/catalog/rey Axiom Sweater pattern https://www.knitpicks.com/axiom-sweater/p/52918D?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode370 Axiom Knit-a-long https://blog.knitpicks.com/68474-2/?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode370 Wool of the Andes Worsted yarn https://www.knitpicks.com/yarn/wool-of-the-andes-worsted/c/5420103?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode370 High Desert Tweed yarn https://www.knitpicks.com/yarn/high-desert-tweed/c/5420482?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode370 Swish Worsted yarn https://www.knitpicks.com/yarn/swish-worsted/c/5420153?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode370 Wool of the Andes Tweed yarn https://www.knitpicks.com/yarn/wool-of-the-andes-tweed-worsted/c/5420211?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode370 Knit Picks blog https://blog.knitpicks.com/?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode370 Disco Fibers https://www.discofibers.com/ Whatnot app https://www.whatnot.com/ Zeb's dogs https://www.discofibers.com/about Disco Fibers on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/DiscoFibers/ ReCreative Denver https://www.recreativedenver.org/ Really Really Free Market https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Really_Really_Free_Market Rebuilding Center in Portland https://www.rebuildingcenter.org/ Scrap in Portland https://portland.scrapcreativereuse.org/ Swansons Fabrics https://www.swansonsfabrics.com/ Secondhand Fabric Stores US & Canada Map https://www.sewingthroughfog.com/thriftyourfabric Creative Reuse Store list https://swoodsonsays.com/a-creative-reuse-center-near-me-map-resource/

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 Filled with Joy ebook on Knit Picks https://www.knitpicks.com/filled-with-joy-holiday-stockings-ebook/p/75409D?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode368 All is Bright ebook on crochet.com https://www.crochet.com/all-is-bright-ebook/p/75417D?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode368 Mosaic Gingham Stocking (knit) https://www.knitpicks.com/mosaic-gingham-stocking/p/53092D?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode368 Tunisian Gingham Stocking (crochet) https://www.crochet.com/tunisian-gingham-stocking/p/54085D?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode368 Happy Gnome Stocking (knit) https://www.knitpicks.com/happy-gnome-stocking/p/53094D?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode368 Bobbles and Baubles Stocking (crochet) https://www.crochet.com/bobbles-and-baubles-stocking/p/54089D?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode368 Tannenbaum Stocking (knit) https://www.knitpicks.com/tannenbaum-stocking/p/53096D?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode368 Poinsettia Stocking (knit) https://www.knitpicks.com/poinsettia-stocking/p/54103D?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode368 Candy Cane Stocking (crochet) https://www.crochet.com/candy-cane-stocking/p/54096D?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode368 Peppermint Patty Stocking (knit) https://www.knitpicks.com/peppermint-patty-stocking/p/54102D?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode368 Eldfell Pullover pattern https://www.knitpicks.com/eldfell-pullover/p/52277D?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode368 Wonderfluff yarn https://www.knitpicks.com/yarn/wonderfluff/c/5420285?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode368 Yarn Stranding Guide tool https://www.knitpicks.com/yarn-stranding-guide/p/80621?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode368 Wire Yarn Stranding Guide tool https://www.knitpicks.com/wire-yarn-stranding-guide/p/80622?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode368 Learn to Knit Colorwork https://www.knitpicks.com/learning-center/learn-to-knit-colorwork?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode368 KAL instagram story highlight https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/17929077290380280/

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.

You've heard our hosts mention the speed with which our Senior Graphic Designer Regan finishes sweaters, so we had to have him on to get him to reveal his secrets! In this episode, Stacey and Lee chat with Regan about how he became a sweater knitter, how he got so fast, and his experiences with dyeing yarn in sweater quantities. As always, Lee and Stacey also share their current WIPs and the latest collection they worked on! It's our annual big sock collection, Pop Socks: Colorful Patterns. They have a hard time picking just a few to talk about because who could resist cheerful socks using multiple yarns? In addition to chatting about new patterns, they also discuss some of the new yarns that launched along with them, including a special Stroll Mini Pack created just for a pattern from Pop Socks.
