    Dad’s sweater sleeves are the exception that proves the rule 😉

    You're not alone on being able to knit a sleeve in a day haha. If it's stockinette I can totally do it!

    The “how much knitting should I bring with me on this trip” discussion was very validating and relatable!!! I was genuinely getting anxious at your near miss experience ha ha 🧶 lesson learned always throw in an extra ball of sock yarn and sock needles into your bag just in case

    Haha I’m knitting the Mini Mock Neck while I watch this video, it made me happy that you mentioned it. It’s a super quick knit so far!

    Emily I drag around several “emotional support projects and yarn” the thought of not enough knitting is terrifying 😅

    I just watched your podcast for the first time. I enjoyed it, and I am also an avid baseball fan, while knitting or course. I will be watching the home run derby and think of you. I live in the SF bay area, so we are Giants fans. I am currently knitting the Knus Light Tee by Elsebeth Judith, a fun knit!

    So happy to find another baseball fan! Baseball pairs with knitting so perfectly.

    Lol going on vacation this week to go camping but still want to spin for tour de fleece. I've been debating myself all day about how many braids is too many to realistically spin on a drop spindle in 8 days. Plus which knitting projects to bring. Thanks for the validation 😅

    This makes me feel so validated dragging my 2 wips on my work commute, just in case! I'm not usually a negative ease person, but Mini Mock Neck is amazing! I finished mine last week, and the fit is just perfect, 10/10 recommend casting it on!

    omg Serena your mini mock neck is amazing!! I'm nervous about if I'll have time to squeeze it in this summer but I really want to! Also yes, I ALWAYS have two projects for my commute!!

    for flock - do you have one vendor / yarn / notion that you are most excited for? will be going and would love to add something good to my list of must-sees!!

    Ooooh great question. I have lots of vendors I'm looking forward to! I'd love to grab some notions from Denim & Rain and Hello Lavender. I've been wanting to feel Wooldreamers yarn so that's one I definitely want to see. There are some favorites I can't wait for (Explorer Knits, Spincycle, La Bien Aimée and Woolberry in the La Mercerie booth). There's gonna be a super cute embroidery kit vendor! I'm also excited because some vendors will have fiber!!

    Can Flock Fiber Fest staff get pins or hats identifying you as staff rather than t-shirts? That way you can wear your knits 😊

    We may actually do lanyards! Still figuring it out for sure.

    I’m going to be in Seattle the week of Flock, so I plan to come on Friday night! Is it purely a vendor event since there are no classes?

    Yay!! So exciting! Yes, this year it's primarily a marketplace, although there will be some events and we'll have food trucks outside!
