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!
