Episode 44: A Mix

On today's show I talk about getting paid in yarn, sock toes, designing for short and round people, and substituting yarn/changing gauge/WIP HIM. I also annoy everyone by having to stop and google for Annie Modesitt's site. I mentioned Modesitt and White Lies Designs as being especially good for girls with curves and Big Girl Knits and its sequel, More Big Girl Knits.

Really, it's coming soon

My mic is back on the stand and I have a whole week (next week) off from work. So, watch this space for math4knitters goodness.

Long Time No See

It has been two months since my last podcast, but I swear I have not faded. This time of year just kicks my butt. Hopefully, I will be able to do another show soon. I have a stack of ideas!

Episode 43: Measuring, Weighing and Super-Easy Square

Just to start, here is the fabulous site on The Brioche Stitch.

In this show, I cover listener questions and theorize about a square you could start with a gauge swatch and finish up whatever size you like (assuming it is larger than the original swatch).

Here are some design ideas for two colors with this method. The different patterns are all made from the same type of square, rotated.

I made a cute little Flash animation for a Valentine's Day present. Feel free to send a link to your sweetie! For $5, I'll change the message to whatever you want and email you the file. :)

Episode 42: Sizing and Squares

In this episode, I talk about resizing sleeves, resizing in general and making squares (or diamonds) with and without a gauge swatch.
