You might like it, too. I found it profound and entertaining.
Take a look listen to the August 22 Knitajourney Podcast, title “Conversation with Lise.”
The show is one podcaster interviewing another, and that is always interesting.
This past week I finished a hat made by special request, from Kauni yarn.
That yarn is a dream to work with, and photographs so well I don’t remember the hat looking so good. The hat is reversible so I show both sides.
The pattern is Doubleknitski by Alison Hansel, from The Blue Blog. I found it on Ravelry.
The yarn is (of course) the Kauni Rainbow EQ.
When I was swimming around Patternfish, I found a few patterns developed especially for Kauni yarns. I have already linked to Patternfish, so I’ll give links to two designers.
A link to Lucy Neatby’s pattern page.
A link to Ruth Sorenson’s pattern page.
You’ll be inspired just looking at the pictures.
… and finally thought to search with the string “sock summit 2009 seattle blog.”
If you are wondering, too, there’s lots of blogging already. Here’s a link to a video from the Oregon Convention Center.
