Episode 15: Sticks in Motion | Creativity Matters Podcast (CMP)

A very, very, very knit-heavy show – unusually so for the Creative Mom Podcast. But, lots of knitting in Episode 15…

a sweater finally complete…
the trials and tribulations of blocking with little boys around
hats to make (one from Hip Knit Hats)… a favorite hat from The Purl Stitch
someone wants fingerless mitts…
lace underway (great pattern; amazing yarn – but, shhh, it’s a surprise)
early morning drawing with a new view on subject matter after reading Danny Gregory‘s The Creative License
an alphabet prompt for grown-ups or kids
a non-review of the Yarn Harlot’s Knitting Rules!: The Yarn Harlot’s Bag of Knitting Tricks and Yarn Harlot: The Secret Life of a Knitter (which I wrongly called Confessions of a Yarn Harlot in the show… I am so, so, so sorry!)
talk about the Yarn Harlot’s blog and a favorite entry of mine ~ the Yarn Harlot’s 100 things list
Amy Weber’s art blog and Etsy site with wonderful “mechanical crab” (which I discovered via Lime and Violet
knitter and podsafe musician, Alyssa Hendrix’ great sort of anti-list
a creative quote, a reminder about signing up for the first CMP artist trading card exchange, some listener feedback on maps, postcards, and a favorite tool
a reminder to send me links to your 100 things lists from Episode 14
and more…
