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.
