Welcome to Procrastiknitting -- a podcast! Join us every week as we talk about knitting, the creative process, life stuff, and whatever else pops into our heads. You just might learn a thing or two... (But you probably won't!)
Hi friends! Welcome back to Procrastiknitting. It's a podcast about knitting- what we’re wearing, what we’re making, and whatever else we happen to think of.
Lydia is wearing her Kinikin Cardigan (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/kinikin-cardigan) by Good Night, Day and Elyssa is wearing her Radical Left Scum Knitting Club (https://bossdog.threadless.com/designs/radical-left-scum-knitting-club-black/mens/t-shirt/comfort-colors) t-shirt.
Elyssa goes through her ‘Lil ‘Lac (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/lil-lac-sweater) yarn color choices and they are majorly dreamy. That Cascade 220 (https://www.yarn.com/products/cascade-yarns-220) color palette is so good. Lydia also went yarn shopping and bought some equally thrilling yarn (https://yarnery.com/products/beiroa-retrosaria)(brown!) to knit a Pelica (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/pelica). Snefnug (https://yarnery.com/products/snefnug) yarn is briefly mentioned, as is Malabrigo Worsted (https://yarnery.com/products/malabrigo-worsted) (of course).
Lydia is making progress on her Folk People Vest (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/folk-people-vest-junior). The Bronco Vest (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/bronco-vest) is also admired (and we love all her designs so just go check her Ravelry page, okay?).
Elyssa has been helping our friend Eliot shop for yarn so she can make him an Erika Vest (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/erika-vest).
We bond over our love of wigs for a while. We… really love wigs.
Elyssa gives a New Norma (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/new-norma) update (waiting on a yarn delivery).
Then we give our traditional Halloween countdown and that’s all she wrote!

Episode 20: What Color is a Cowboy's Hat?!
Episode 20! Thanks for being here with us as we chat about knitting and whatever else we happen to think of.
We are both considering some Halloween costume crafting. Elyssa’s daughter wants to be some kind of Moana coconut demon. Lydia’s kids want to be a cheetah and an alien. Lydia might knit a green Folk Oak Doll (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/the-oak-folk-doll-body) as a little alien buddy (maybe).
Lydia is wearing her Carbeth (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/carbeth) knit in Cascade Ecological Wool. It’s a classic.
Elyssa has been wearing her Erika Vest (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/erika-vest) she knit in Malabrigo Rasta. It was the first garment she knit and it’s so cool.
Lydia is currently working on a Folk People Vest (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/folk-people-vest-junior) for her younger son. She’s almost done with the intarsia and it’s turning out so cute!! Such a fun pattern.
Elyssa is on an journey of color discovery for her future ‘Lil ‘Lac (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/lil-lac-sweater) sweater. She’s been using the Pantone website as a resource and she’s thinking she'll probably use Cascade 220.
Lydia is seriously considering making a Passing Through Cardigan (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/passing-through-cardigan).
Elyssa learned how to get her dropped stitches back on the needles and she’s happily knitting her New Norma (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/new-norma) again. Phew!
Lydia recently listened to an episode (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/214-enough/id90253586?i=1000792744638) of the Cast On podcast that she found very illuminating. And now she wants to buy more yarn.
Elyssa’s mom has asked for a sweater and Elyssa has been choosing some potential patterns. The Cumulus Blouse (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/cumulus-blouse) is a serious contender.

Episode 19: Lively and Colorful
Hi everyone! It’s another nighttime episode here on Procrastiknitting. Spooky!
This week we discuss the NY Sheep and Wool Festival (aka Rhinebeck (https://sheepandwool.com/)). We mention @needle_beetle (https://www.instagram.com/needle_beetle/)’s coach bus. Elyssa might go but she also wants to attend the Big E (https://www.thebige.com/) this year and one woman can only do so much.
Lydia cast on a Folk People Vest (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/folk-people-vest-junior) and she’s loving it so far. Here’s a great MDK article (https://www.moderndailyknitting.com/community/intarsia-the-full-ball-fallacy-and-other-tangle-tips/) with some intarsia tips.
Need someone to detangle your yarn? There’s a subreddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/detanglemyyarn/) for that!
Lydia is wearing her Coloured Crosses (https://www.ravelry.com/projects/SmallestFriend/coloured-crosses). It’s one of her favorite sweaters ever.
Elyssa mentions this great post (https://www.instagram.com/p/DUTq_y6j_wE/) from @TheIronSnail about gansey sweaters.
Elyssa is still working on her New Norma (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/new-norma) and tries it on for us (a few stitches pop off the needles but we’re totally not worried about it!).
Lydia shows off the weird stuff she bought at Art Scraps (https://artstart.org/artscraps-reuse-store/) (pompom trim, googly eyes!).
Elyssa has made it to the midpoint of her Sophie Hood (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/sophie-hood)!
We take a moment to acknowledge the viral reel (https://www.instagram.com/p/DdmVm5eJoYK/) Elyssa made about The Garment. What a wild ride that was.
Elyssa might abandon her plan to knit a ‘Lil ‘Lac (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/lil-lac-sweater) sweater (but she probably won’t) and Lydia hopes to knit a Puppy Sweater (https://www.instagram.com/p/DVGPz0giP1T/?img_index=1) someday.
