On to Knit Talk!

When I discover a new-to-me technique, I get excited and want to investigate every detail and nuance.

Yarnovers have been my deep dive over the last couple of months. I'm back with a third, and probably last, yarnover video to share what I've learned so you can avoid lifted increases (if you want).

In this week’s episode of Knit Talk, I discuss my solution to yarnover hole size differences and how to make a yarnover work more like a right and left-leaning increase.

Let’s Keep Planning!

Although this will be my final episode for the season (don’t worry - I’ll be back in August), we can still plan together!

If there is a knitting-related topic you’d like to learn more about or have a burning question you just can’t find an answer to, go to my Knit Talk discussion form. You can submit questions or discussion topics you’d like to see in future episodes of Knit Talk, or you can request a technique tutorial!

Thank you so much for joining me each week!

In today's episode of Knit Talk, I walk you through my approach to measuring your upper body for a raglan-style garment and how the added ease relates to the fit of the yoke.

So grab a sheet of paper, a ruler, your pencil, and a level (yep… a level), and join me!

Can’t get enough of raglan deets?

I’ve started a new podcast series called Learn to Design, THEN Knit on YouTube.

In this series, I’m walking through my entire process from design, fit (ease), the math based on gauge, and finally, knitting the garment with a focus on raglan shaping.

Episode 1 - Preliminary Design & Swatching is live now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ntp9Xcr_AxI

Episode 2, where we talk about fit and design considerations for a successful garment, is coming next week. Now is a great time to join us and get caught up!

But does it really fit all body shapes?

If you’ve ever knit a raglan sweater and found that the shoulder shape didn’t align with your body, this discussion is for you!

In today's episode of Knit Talk, I discuss a 'traditional' raglan shape, what the angles REALLY are, and how you can modify the top of the yoke to fit broader shoulders more comfortably!

LTD&K With Me!

At the end of today’s episode, I drop a little hint about a new endeavor I’ve got coming up very soon. I’m calling it the LTD&K: Learn to Design & Knit!

No, I’m not going to teach you how to knit, but rather how to approach a design and then knit it (using the knitting skills you already have).

This is going to be a FREE collection of videos to help you design and then knit a summer tee just in time for the warm weather.

And, of course, we’re going to talk about yarn. You know I’ve got a lovely little discount you can take advantage of, too!

Stay tuned for more updates coming very soon!

I designed the Ewe Heart Hat as a special Valentine’s Day release in collaboration with Ewe Ewe Yarns in 2021. Heather had recently released her Heather’s Heathers yarn, a heathered version of her beloved Wooly Worsted line.

The pattern was, and still is, a free knitting pattern, available in 3 sizes. And Heather has now created the Ewe Heart Hat project kits for our Knitting Intensive.

My Mum, much to my absolute deilght, test-knit the pattern for me. It was one of her first beanies, and it turned out beautifully!

Her version is knit in Cotton Candy Wooly Worsted. Mine is also Cotton Candy, but the Heather’s Heathers line. I love the contrast between the two!

In the Valentine’s Day Knitting Intensive, happening on Friday, February 14, 2025, we will talk about ease, specifically recommended ease for hats, and how working from a chart can make a project like this a breeze!

That’s the Lineup!

Heather and I are so excited to be hosting the Knitting Intensive featuring the Ewe Heart collection: the Ewe Heart Cowl, the Ewe Heart Socks, and the Ewe Heart Hat.

What should we add to the lineup next? If you have an idea, send me a note, and we’ll add it to the list!

As always, if you have any questions, you can fill out my contact form and I’ll get back to you shortly!

I created the Ewe Heart Socks for Heather, the owner of Ewe Ewe Yarns, in 2018 when she released her brand new fingering weight yarn line - Fluffy Fingering.

The design has stood the test of time (no pun intended) and is now being offered up as a project kit in coordination with our Knitting Intensive!

In the Valentine’s Day Knitting Intensive, happening on Friday, February 14, 2025, we will talk about gauge and ease and just how integral that is to the fit of a project - especially socks!

You’ll also be able to use your brand-new chart-reading skills to make this delightfully squishy pair of socks right away.

Not a Sock Knitter?

That’s ok! Next week, I’ll have one more ‘offering’ to tempt you to join us for a fun day of knitting knowledge and probably a few laughs, so c’mon back on February 7th!

Not only did I create a pattern using my favorite cowl shape, but I used more than one color - there are four glorious colors used in my new design.

I KNOW! 🤯

Introducing: The Ewe Heart Cowl!

The Ewe Heart Cowl is worked flat from the bottom up and features my favorite lace heart motif.

The cowl is knit up in Sport weight yarn. I chose my favorite yarn company, Ewe Ewe Yarns, and worked with their Ewe So Sporty yarn for the pattern. The colors are bright and saturated, and the bounciness of the yarn makes it a delight to work with.

The pattern is available on the Ewe Ewe Yarns website or Ravelry.

AND! Heather and I coordinated efforts to develop multiple color options and created yarn kits for the project.

You can purchase the Ewe Heart Cowl yarn kit directly from Ewe Ewe Yarns, which includes the yarn and pattern together.

You can also purchase the pattern through Ravelry and the yarn separately from Heather. You’ll need one ball each of your four favorite colors!

I can’t wait to see what colors you choose to make the cowl uniquely yours!

Why a new design now?

You’ve likely noticed I’m hosting a new course: a Valentine’s Day Knitting Intensive!

The course is designed to give you some new tools for knitting, and we thought it would be fun to apply those new skills to some patterns so you can dive in right away!

The Ewe Heart Cowl was designed to give you the opportunity to apply your new color theory skills, mosaic knitting skills, and chart reading skills all in one go!

The fun begins Friday, February 14, 2025 ! We can’t wait to knit with you!

If you’ve been knitting solo for much of your knitting journey or are just starting out in the wonderful world of knitting, it can feel overwhelming to know where to begin when it comes to improving your skills. Can you trust a random internet search? Will you understand the pictorials in a book? It can all feel like a lot!

The Valentine’s Day Knitting Intensive is designed to take the “huh?” out of the finer points of knitting so you can feel confident enough to read patterns critically, make color substitutions, and even dabble in pattern modifications through gauge adjustments. These building blocks are all it takes to make you a stronger, more confident knitter!

I’m co-hosting this incredible course with my knitting bestie, Heather Walpole of Ewe Ewe Yarns. We have a combined total of 50 years of knitting between us, and there isn’t much we haven’t seen, heard about, or tried ourselves, so we think sharing it with you just makes the world a better place!

what topics are going to be covered?

You can download our Knitting Intensive Course Outline document HERE for a full breakdown.

But as a brief synopsis, we’ll be covering Gauge, Ease (how a garment fits), Best Practices for pattern reading, Color Theory and Knitting with Colors, Slipping Stitches, Moving Yarn, and information about reading different types of knitting charts. Pretty much everything we could squeeze into 3 hours that would help make YOU a more confident knitter!

there’s going to be knitting, right?

You bet there is! The topics we’re covering in the course will be in support of three different projects but are skills you’ll be able to translate into any project you want to knit down the road.

Since it IS Valentine’s Day, we’re focusing on three patterns that I’ve designed for Ewe Ewe Yarns over the years: the Ewe Heart Socks, the Ewe Heart Hat, and a brand new mosaic knitting (colorwork) cowl, the Ewe Heart Cowl that was designed just for the course!

Heather has curated some fabulous yarn kits for you to choose from, including a not-to-be-missed notions kit that doesn’t include a single stitch marker (because we all have enough of those)!

SO, WHAT DO I GET IN THE COURSE?

Digital Program: Designed to be worksheet-style, so you can plug in your OWN numbers or colors, the course download will be available as a PDF that you can print out at home to use over and over throughout your knitting journey.

LIVE Sessions: Starting at 10 am PT / 1 pm ET on Friday, February 14th, 2025, we’ll host three breakout sessions covering each topic in the course outline. Each breakout will be just shy of an hour to discuss the topics in that session and will include time for you to ask questions LIVE.
Between Sessions One and Two, we’ll pause for a few minutes to stretch, both physically and mentally. Following Session Two, we’ll take a 1-hour break for snacks or lunch. Then we’ll round out the afternoon with Session Three, with another opportunity to ask us questions on the spot before we set you loose to enjoy your evening and weekend with your head full of new ideas!
**If you cannot attend the sessions live, don’t fret! We will record our sessions and have all three of them available for you to watch (or re-watch) at your convenience!

Community: Heather hosts an incredible online community here: https://community.eweewe.com. This is a free community that we will ask you to sign up for so you can access the course downloads and stay in touch with other course members. It’s all knitting, all the time, and a wonderfully positive place to be! After the course, it will be where we can all come together, cheer each other on, and celebrate our successes!

WHAT IS MY INVESTMENT?

We’re not oblivious to what day we’re hosting this one. It’s definitely intentional. So we thought it would be cute to tie your financial investment into the date a little bit!

To ensure this course is as accessible as possible, the investment is $14.00 USD.

Everything listed above is included in this amount (excluding yarn and notion kits). The recordings of our live sessions will be available in the Community or on YouTube hosted in a private area indefinitely.

So, what happens when i REGISTER FOR THE cOURSE?

Not much, at first! Once you’ve registered for the course, you’ll receive a confirmation email, which is sent to you automatically, along with a reminder link to the Ewe Ewe Yarns community. You’ll want to join the community before the day of the course so you get any updates we push out.

You’ll be sent a link to download the course documents two days before the course.

Then on the morning of the course, you’ll receive a notification that the course is beginning, along with a Zoom Link so you can join us LIVE for the course.

WHERE AND WHEN DO I REGISTER?

The Valentine’s Day Knitting Intensive and yarn kits will be available for purchase beginning on Wednesday, January 22, 2025. **Please note that the course and the yarn kits are sold separately.

You can register and pay for the course HERE.

Is 2025 your year of learning?

At the end of today’s episode, I drop some more details about upcoming classes being offered this year.

In February, I’m co-hosting a great Valentine’s Day Knitting Intensive built for folks who want to learn more about the fundamental knitting skills we use every day. Yep - it’s on Valentine’s Day. Nope, it won’t take up time in your evening that might interfere with other plans. ❤️ Full details are coming in just two days, January 17th, so keep an eye on your inbox!

And this fall, starting in September, I’m hosting a sweater master class. You’ll be able to choose between a textural or colorwork yoke option, and you’ll even be able to put into practice the techniques we learn in today’s episode of Knit Talk. How’s that for nifty?

I hope you’ll join me next month - it’ll be a fun day of learning, live chats, and probably some adorable moments with our crazy dogs!

Are you pumped for 2025 yet?

With the holidays swiftly approaching and today’s video capping off the year (I’m heading back to Canada for the holidays), I’m looking ahead to all the knitting joys of 2025!

There are two big things I’m looking forward to next year that I thought I’d sneak onto your radar before I sign off for the year.

In February, I’m partnering with Heather Walpole of Ewe Ewe Yarns (who you’ll spy on in today’s episode, too) to bring you a Valentine’s Day Knitting Intensive. We will cover a wide range of topics, all focused on improving our technique skills and understanding of colorwork, alongside three designed-by-me patterns - socks, a hat, and a gorgeous (mosaic colorwork) cowl. This event will be a one-day digital course (with a break for lunch, naturally) where you’ll learn from us in real time, be able to ask questions, and watch the recaps at your leisure after the event.

In the fall (September-November 2025), I’ll host The Unapologetic Sweater Mastery Course, featuring a top-down circular yoke-style sweater. It’ll be a great way to use many of the skills we’ve discussed over the last two years on my podcast, with me alongside you the whole way through. You’ll have the option of texture vs. colorwork and several different stitch patterns to choose from to make it a one-of-a-kind sweater that will fit YOU and your fabulously perfect and unique body!

Stay tuned for more details on both of these great events in January. And until then, Happy New Year, my friend. May your holidays be merry and your knitting a joy! 🧶

Ok, all kidding aside - yarnovers are one of the first methods of increase we learn as knitters. It’s just a little wrap around the needle to make a new stitch.

In today’s episode of Knit Talk, we look at the different ways we wrap the yarn to make a new stitch, and why not all yarnovers are created equal!

I had used compound raglan shaping before receiving the email request, but I didn’t know the method had a specific name.

And now that I know, I want you ALL to know, too!

And investing in a master course costs more than investing in a single pattern.

In my experience, however, a good (dare I say ‘great’) master class offers so much more than a single pattern.

I have invested in some not-so-good master classes, where the instructor teased me with information but didn’t give me skills I could walk away with and implement.

I’ve invested in good master classes where the instructor gave us SOME knowledge and then upsold us more classes to give us just a bit more, only to upsell again. It’s vicious.

I believe I have created a master class that stands out, offering you everything you need to be successful and transfer the skills to any other sock pattern you want.
No upsells.

No gimmicks.

Just knitting.

And math. Lots of (fun) math.

So why should you trust me?

Totally fair question. The simplest answer is that I believe YOU can knit ANYTHING, and I’d love to be a part of your learning journey.

But beyond that, I just like to share what I know so that you can share it with someone else. In a world where we experience gatekeeping and “pay to play” at every turn, I want to turn the tide and use it to lift all our proverbial boats.

Ok, if you believe in sharing what you know, why are you asking me to pay for a mastery course?

I don’t feel like I’m asking you to invest in my knowledge - that I’m giving away. What I am asking you to invest in is me and my time.

It has taken me countless hours to put this course together and 10+ years of personal time to feel like I’m truly a sock-knitting guru.

Additionally, you’ll get to walk away with 20 pages of detailed information that you can use time and time again. From the instructions included in those 20 pages, you’ll be able to create a variety of unique socks without needing to invest in another pattern. There are multiple stitch patterns to choose from, and two heels styles, so it’s almost like getting 8+ sock patterns in one.

And you’re going to get at least 4 hours of my time in our live sessions.

And you’re going to have access to me to ask questions for 6 months in our private Facebook group.

Plus, I think you might actually have some fun with me. I love to laugh, and want more than anything for you to enjoy the time you spend with me. If I can be a small part of your journey towards being a more confident knitter, it would be my honor to help you learn more about the craft we love so much.

WHY THIS MASTER CLASS?

I have been a knitter for over 20 years, and more importantly an avid sock knitter for 10+ years. I started obsessing about the fit of socks around 2013 and haven’t quit searching for new and better heel methods, easier ways to approach the numbers, and how to really have fun with socks.

In The Unapologetic Sock Mastery Course, we will explore, in detail, the math you need to know (and the math you can fudge a bit) to achieve socks that fit you or your intended wearer without needing to try them on. And you get to keep it all. For one price.

As part of the course, we’ll have a weekly LIVE session hosted on Zoom, where you can ask me questions in real-time. I think this is what excites me most. I’ll get to talk to you in person to make sure you walk away with your questions answered. I’m not trying to hide behind pre-recorded videos (though, of course, there will be some of those to help you, too).

We’ll also have a private Facebook Group where you can share photos of your WIPs (works in progress) and FOs (finished objects) and ask more questions if necessary. Only course participants will be able to join, so it will be a safe space for you to share about your knitting!

STILL NOT QUITE SURE?

While this will be my first time hosting a digital master course like this, I think I’m pretty darn prepared to share what I know and create a space where you’ll enjoy learning. For full details about what the course will include, check out the Course Details. You can even see a full list of supplies you’ll need to be successful! And, if you love yarn and markers, we’ve even got custom-curated yarn and notions kits made just for us!

Questions? Comments?

While I hope you’re excited to join me in signing up for The Unapologetic Sock Mastery Course, if you have questions, please feel free to reach out through my contact form. I’m happy to answer any questions you have! I look forward to knitting with you!

We’ve talked about the Supplies.

Let’s talk about the cutest yarn and notions kits out there!

Yarn & Notions Kits - Available now!

When I sign up for an online course, I often check to see if a supplies kit is available—it always makes me feel a little bit more like an insider.

Heather, the owner of Ewe Ewe Yarns, has curated a kit for The Unapologetic Sock Mastery Course that includes the yarn you need, the stitch markers I recommend for sock knitting, and 2 packets of scentless wool wash. Here’s the scoop:

The Yarn!

You’ll receive three skeins of Ewe Ewe Yarns ‘Fluffy Fingering’ in your selected color.

I like to work from a separate ball for each sock, and have a third available for swatching. On average, I use about 40 grams/160 yards/146 meters of yarn per sock; I wear a US women’s size 6.5 shoe and have a foot circumference of 9”/23 cm.

On average, the swatch I’ll have you knit for the course will use approximately 8-10 grams. With the extra yarn from the ‘swatch skein,’ you can choose to knit multiple swatches to choose your favorite fabric density (I definitely recommend this if you’re brand new to socks), or add length to your sock legs. We want to be sure you have the room to swatch AND knit socks to the length you desire.

THE STITCH MARKERS!

Megan, the owner and creative mastermind behind Billy & Baa, has created a custom set of stitch markers for our master course.

Inside each little black tin, you’ll find a set of 4 sock-size stitch markers with a teal accent and two locking markers: one teal sock and one pair of glasses with lobster claw clasps.

the wool wash!

SOAK has long been my preferred no-rinse wool wash. A little goes a long way towards finishing up your knits so they feel brand-spanking-new each time you wash them.

Each kit will include 2 mini-packs of SOAK Scentless. You can use one when you block your swatches and save the second for when you finish your set of socks. OR, you can save both for your knit socks - one to finish them and one to wash them after you’ve worn them (and shown them off to everyone, of course)!
