Description
You’ve heard our hosts mention the speed with which our Senior Graphic Designer Regan finishes sweaters, so we had to have him on to get him to reveal his secrets! In this episode, Stacey and Lee chat with Regan about how he became a sweater knitter, how he got so fast, and his experiences with dyeing yarn in sweater quantities.
As always, Lee and Stacey also share their current WIPs and the latest collection they worked on! It’s our annual big sock collection, Pop Socks: Colorful Patterns. They have a hard time picking just a few to talk about because who could resist cheerful socks using multiple yarns? In addition to chatting about new patterns, they also discuss some of the new yarns that launched along with them, including a special Stroll Mini Pack created just for a pattern from Pop Socks.
