Ep 24: I Made Some Things-- 2026 Podcast Series -- Evan Knits Things

Summary AI

In this episode, Evan shares her crafting progress from September 3rd to 10th, 2026. She starts by showing off her finished Stegosaurus, named Stego, made using the Puff the Magic Stegosaurus pattern by Heidi Bears Designs. She notes that the plates won't stay upright and asks for advice. She also mentions finishing a sample for Purl Soho but doesn't show it. She then moves on to discuss her works in progress, including a Blastoise cross stitch, the Here Lies the Body stitch along by Witches Garden Crafts, a ZZ Tank by Tanis Lavallee, a Double Date Sweater by Winter's Weather Knits, and a self-drafted granny square skirt. She also introduces a new content project: the Ghost Granny Square Blanket by Hygge Crochet, which she plans to make using her stash of Caron Simply Soft yarn.

  • Finished Stego, a large Stegosaurus made with the Puff the Magic Stegosaurus pattern by Heidi Bears Designs.
  • Made significant progress on the Blastoise cross stitch and the Here Lies the Body stitch along frame.
  • Completed the back panel of the ZZ Tank and continued working on the Double Date Sweater.
