Podcast Episode 18: Share the Joy of Knitting
The more people we teach to knit, the more friends we have and the better the world will be for everyone! I have my own little tricks for gathering new knitters around me and teaching them the joys of making one stitch after another.
Simple Garter Stitch Washcloth
1 Ball CotLin, Size 6 or 7 needle
Directions: Cast on 4 stitches. Row 1: knit one row. Row 2:K2,YO, knit to the end of the row. Repeat row 2 until there are 40 stitches (for dish scrubber) or 50 stitches (for face cloth). Next row: K1, K2Tog, Yo, K2tog, knit to the end of the row. Continue decreasing until 4 stitches are left. Cast off.
Because of my trip to Canada, I won’t be posting a podcast on Friday, August 31st

What’s On My Needles
I’ve been organizing my knitting for my trip to Victoria, B.C. I’m going to try knitting two socks at the same time on one long circular. I’ve given one sock a bit of a try and I enjoyed the new method. Of course, I’ll take along my Pi Shawl. September is just around the corner and I am anxious to being the leggings from The Knitter’s Almanac. I have my Swish yarn in Lemongrass so I can get started next weekend when I get home.
To keep up with my knitting progress during the week, be sure to check out my blog.
