Welcome back to a slow, cozy winter knitting podcast 🤍

In this episode, I finally finish my very first handknit sock (!!!) and block a sock for the first time ever. If you’ve been following along with my new knitter journey, this feels like such a milestone. We chat through the whole process — from awkward decreases to that magical moment when blocking makes everything look intentional.

Also in this episode:
• A cozy little thrift haul
• Wintry walks and slow days at home
• Yappy new knitter thoughts
• And an honest conversation about some common beginner knitting advice that just… wasn’t it for me

As a newer knitter in my 40s, I’m realizing that not all “standard advice” works for everyone — especially if you knit tightly, don’t love straight needles, or need your projects to actually excite you. I’m sharing what almost made me quit before and why knitting is finally clicking this time.

If you love:
• Knitting podcasts
• Cozy winter routines
• Slow living at home
• Thrifted finds
• Honest beginner knitting reflections
• Or just chatty, comforting background vibes

…you’re in the right place 🤍

Grab your knitting, a cup of tea, and settle in.
