Episode 14: Rainbowhead

Hi friends! Welcome back to another episode of Procrastiknitting. It's got knitting! It's got etcetera! Lydia is getting ready to go to the Minnesota State Fair. She’s also gonna see Weird Al. Whoa. Elyssa attempts a little French and we reminisce about a childhood commercial for those Muzzy tapes. Elyssa surprised us all and knit a swatch! She used Qing Teddy and Drops Air. The swatch might be for a Scrappy Checkers or possibly some kind of vest. Elyssa has more of the Teddy yarn she’s saving to make a Parquet Vest. We talk colorwork knitting for a bit and Lydia tries to explain the concept of Color Dominance. Elyssa considers the Gerhard Sweater by Kolibri by Johanna. She also likes the Hilma. Will Lydia ever finish her Pressed Flowers Kerchief? Who knows! Elyssa shows off her Schmookie Knits Mini Bunny. It is so silly. The Mix Tape Tee is almost done!  Elyssa and Lydia discover a shared interest in banjo music. Have you ever heard Banjo Bonanza? It rules. Thanks so much for listening! New episodes come out every Monday.  Find us on Instagram here and on YouTube here!
