What Grinds My Gears

You can love the craft… and be completely annoyed by it. (And Drea, we mean the craft of knitting, not The Craft).

In this episode, we discuss all the things about the hobbies we love that drive us bonkers. From cords coming undone to unreasonable test knitting deadlines, to patterns that falsely advertise size inclusivity to needles that drive us batty, we talk about all the things that we love to hate on about our favorite hobbies. What grinds your gears? Maybe your pet peeve is in here!

Socks for Sam

We are proud to support the #SocksforSam Initiative, a 501(3)(c) charity. Drea gives all the details on supporting a local Connecticut student and his love for unmatched socks by bringing awareness to his terminal illness, Vanishing White Matter Disease. Beginning in December, the #SocksforSam Initiative will begin collecting knitted single socks for a chance to win prizes and raise awareness. Visit their Instagram, @knitsocksforsam or their website, socksforsam.org for more information.
