    Loved this first podcast episode! Looking forward to seeing more. As for knitting socks, I can recommend you to first knit a pair of DK weight socks to better understand the construction and techniques used and they are faster too. That’s what I did at the beginning of last year for my first sock and know I can’t stop knitting them 😅

    Yay! Happy to have another new knitting podcast! Love the setup! And your lakes pullover 😍 I was sooo intimidated to make socks for the first time but they are now my favorite "forever project". I always have a sock on the needles for times when I want a small/compact project on the go. I highly recommend the Rye or Rye light patterns since they are free and Tincanknits patterns are very well written! Buut I'd say my overall favorite sock to make is the I'm so basic sock by summer lee knits. She even has videos to go with each step! 🧦

Have you considered making a striped jumper with those pretty bright balls of wool you showed last? Perhaps Kika's pattern. I am knitting a light weight cardigan at the moment to throw over a dress as we are just coming into spring in Australia. I wish you every success in your new venture. I am sure you will do well.

My only constructive criticism is that the audio was coming through low. Looking forward to the next episode!! :) P.S.
