Episode 12: Dingly Dangly

We’re back, baby! Please excuse any background sounds, there’s major construction happening next door to Lydia and her other recording studio (her kids’ closet) is just too hot. Elyssa has been staying at her parents’ house and she’s been unearthing many treasures. So far she’s found the beads from her old dreadlocks and the skirt she made from neck ties in the early aughts. Here’s a tutorial in case you need one too.  Lydia finished a Berry Baby Hat for her niece. She used Malabrigo Worsted in the colors Rose Damask and Lettuce. Elyssa gives us a Mix Tape Tee update… it’s gorgeous! She’s also really loving working with Linen Quill. It’s mostly going great but Elyssa did get a little help from Laura at Knit & Pearls. Thanks, Laura! Kaffe Fassett is briefly mentioned (with appropriate praise and adoration). There is a little Pressed Flowers chat. We chat about our excitement for the new Schmookie Knits pattern (a snail!!). Lydia shows off her recent visible mending. She used some fabric hexagons from her English paper piecing project. We do a little Malabrigo deep dive based on a listener question; that sponsorship deal is gonna come in any day now!  Lydia admires the Helix Pullover by Jessie Maed.  Here’s Quailman, just in case you don’t know who that is yet. Oh, and here’s Katamari. Thanks for listening! We love you guys!
