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.   Lee's Movie Hue Shift (ravelry link) Hue Shift pattern  Block Party: Modular Blankets book  Joinery Blanket pattern  Barnstaple Vest pattern  High Desert yarn  Hawthorne yarn  Cheer Up Cardigan pattern  Lee's Andean Treasure cardigan (ravelry link)  Andean Treasure yarn  Lee's N for November Sweater project (ravelry link)  N for November Sweater pattern  Vertex: Colorblock Projects book  Aloft yarn   Lee's first Hawthorne+Aloft sweater (ravelry link)  Knit Bits: Learn to Knit Twists booklet  Fluctuation Hat pattern  Payne Hat pattern   Thicket: Nature-Inspired Cable Knits book   Thicket: Nature-Inspired Cable Knits ebook  Breezy: Carefree Cotton Knits book   Breezy: Carefree Cotton Knits ebook  Timeless: High Desert Knits book   Timeless: High Desert Knits ebook  Generations: Knits For All Ages book   Generations: Knits For All Ages ebook  Game Day Cardigan Knit Along  Game Day Cardigan pattern  New podcast producer Andi  Traditions Afghan pattern  Guide to Swatching  Heatherly Yarn     Timestamps 00:02 Welcome to the Knit Picks Podcast 00:30 The podcast is back after a long break, and we missed it, too. 01:44 What Lee and Stacey were knitting while on break. 10:40 New patterns, yarns, and collections that were released during the hiatus. 19:00 Join us for a KAL of the Game Day Cardigans. 20:39 Lee, Stacey, and Andi’s High Desert colors for their Game Day Cardigans. 23:57 Considering adding patch pockets to Game Day Cardigans. 25:33 Discussing swatching for yarn substitutions.  30:21 Deciding what size to knit based on the suggested ease. 35:19 Introducing our newest yarn family, Heatherly Baby Yarn 37:40 Send us your questions or topic requests! 39:23 Credits
