About this episode
The podcast is back! After a long break, we're excited to have a regular recording schedule again. In this episode, you'll hear about Lee and Stacey's personal projects that they've worked on during our long recording break. They'll also share with you collections, patterns, and new yarns that have been released over the period. Next, we're excited to share with you our summer knit along, featuring the Game Day Cardigans by Donna Estin from Generations: Knits for All Ages. The whole podcast team is substituting the suggested yarn for High Desert Worsted, and they share their color choices and swatching methods for yarn substitutions. Plus, hear about what amount of suggested ease they're thinking of using when choosing a size, although Lee wavered and decided to go up a size after recording.
