Slow Pace Knitting Space Podcast | Ep. 6 - Let's Talk BEADS

Welcome! My name is Michelle Matthews and I talk knitting, designing, and the process of fitting them into my current season of life.

Today I showcase my Torg Socks and talk a bit about the pattern, which is coming soon, and we talk a little bit more about the Sluggyverse and the namesake of my sock, the character Torg. I also show the first glimpse of my upcoming Children’s Stollery fundraiser socks – The Max Sox. The Max Sox are inspired by recurring motifs in Banjo Kazooie and Mario Kart, and are made in the memory of my cousin Max, who passed from cancer 15 years ago. Next, we take a look at the Round 2 pattern of Sock Madness – “All the B’s” by KnitJoyz. And lastly, I have a tutorial with 3 methods for putting beads on your knitting! Thanks for watching!
