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.  Lee's new socks  N for November Sweater pattern Rosendale Slouchy Hat pattern  High Desert yarn Deep Winter Coat pattern Ventisca Slipover pattern Unparalleled book Twill yarn Kristen Jancuk's patterns on Knit Picks Kristen Jancuk's patterns on ravelry Pop Socks book Pop Socks ebook Connecting Threads Rainbow Socks pattern Stroll Mini-Packs Fallen Leaf Socks pattern Stroll yarns Wavy Stripes Socks pattern ZigZag Socks pattern (note: Lee misspoke—these are shaped with increases & decreases, not short rows!)  Comfort DK Socks pattern Swish DK yarn No Purl Socks pattern Rebound Socks pattern Animation yarn Woodland Friends pattern Space Mobile and Garland Set pattern Capra yarn Capretta yarn Knit Picks "New" page Bare yarns Regan's most recently finished sweater (at the time of recording...he finished another one a few days later!) crochet.com Podcast Episode 321: DIY Yarn – Dye It Yourself!
