Podcast 290 – Next Steps for the New Year

Knit Picks

With the Holidays in full swing, knitting deadlines near and the new year in sight, the Knit Picks crew has decided to take a brief meditative pause from the furious click of our needles for a little look ahead. While the second half of Winter offers non-knitters little more than unfestive darkness and cold, we knitters can look forward to the longest stretch of the year for personal knitting time.

First up, Hillary and new Knit Picks graphic designer Erica share their next steps as enthusiasts still in the early days of their knitting. (starts at 1:00) After that, Lee and I discuss our plans from the perspective of experienced knitters poking into the odd corners and experimental edges of the knitting world. (starts at 7:37)

Enjoy!
