Episode 61: Baby Angelus
Hello!
The latest episode of the podcast is up and I am showing off the sweetest of little cardigans with my newest pattern Baby Angelus. Gah, I wish I always had such an adorable knitwear model available! I also chat about the Knit Tea retreat, making plans for an Italian adventure in the summer, and Q for you: can one stay cosy all winter with just knitwear and a raincoat…?
Til next time, happy knitting, Rx
Episode 60: International knitting
Hello!
After a wonderfully woolly weekend away in Berlin, I am back with a little episode reminiscing about past and future knit-based travel.

Hello!
This episode I’m catching up with you after the annual visit to the family. I have a new(ish) pattern out! Cascadia Cardigan is now available as an individual pattern. I also complain about the jet lag, as is traditional, and announce the prize winners for the Miara KAL! Show notes can be found in the EastLondonKnit Ravelry group.
Happy knitting,

Episode 53: Bring on the tutorials!
Hello!
In the latest podcast, I show you not one, but 2 tutorials (cabling without a cable needle and reinforcing the back neck of my cardigan with a crocheted chain), talk about upcoming plans and show off a few outfits.

Midding!
Hello! I have a new pattern out! Midding is a new cardigan pattern for your needles!
MIDDING v. intr. feeling the tranquil pleasure of being near a gathering but not quite in it — hovering on the perimeter of a camp fire, chatting outside a party while others dance inside, resting your head in the backseat of a car listening to your friends chatting up front — feeling blissfully invisible yet still fully included, safe in the knowledge that everyone is together and everyone is okay, with all the thrill of being there without the burden of having to be.
Some projects suggest a kind of sweet nostalgia. Midding is a project like that. A classic cardigan shape, with long, fitted sleeves, a straight body, and panels of open cables. This cardigan is worked from the bottom up, with raglan shaping in the yoke, and i-cord finishing at the neck and button bands.
YARN
I used Kettle Yarn Co. Baskerville DK (Exmoor Blueface wool, Gotland wool, silk; 233 m/255 yds per 100g skein) in Dawn colourway; 5 (6, 6, 7, 7, 8) skeins.
If substituting yarn, you will need around 450 (505, 555, 605, 700, 750) g/1050 (1175, 1295, 1410, 1630, 1750) metres/1150 (1285, 1415, 1540, 1785, 1915) yards of DK-weight yarn.
SIZES
XS (S, M, L, XL 2XL) Chest: 82 (92, 101, 120, 130, 145) cm/32 (36, 40, 47, 51, 57) inches
The cardigan is designed to be worn with 10–15 cm/ 4–6 inches of positive ease. I am modelling the size M and have a 91 cm/36 inch bust.
I chat about the pattern in the latest podcast as well!
As ever, subscribers to the EastLondonKnit newsletter get an exclusive discount, good until 3rd June!

Episode 50: Allium & EYF
Hello!
Hello!
This episode I chat about my new pattern, Allium, as well as my weekend at Edinburgh Yarn Fest. I started off pretty strong, but then the weekend’s excitement seemed to catch up with me half way through!

I hope your week is full of rest and knitting,
