Slow Pace Knitting Space | Ep. 8 - Summer FOs Revealed

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

Today we are finally back! In this recap episode, I share the many socks I worked on over the summer, as well as a couple other cute projects and a brief slideshow of some mending. I rave over my sewing magnum opus – The Ultimate Needle & Notions Organization Case. I also showcase some of the yarn I bought this summer that I’m excited about, and take you through what I was given in a Harry Potter swap. Lastly, I show what I’m working on now and the dilemma I’m stuck with. Come join me for some funny stories, pretty knitting, and a little bit of what knitting looks like in real life (i.e. lots of mistakes & saying “good enough”).
