Summary AI

In this episode of her 2026 podcast series, Evan shares her crafting progress from late August to early September. She begins by showing two finished objects: the Forager socks, a test knit by Annabeth of Annabeth is Knitworthy, and the Honeysuckle Top by Andrea Gaughan, knitted in Terrapin Fiberworks yarn. She then discusses seven works in progress, including a new Purl Soho sample, a Blastoise cross stitch, and a new stitch-along project called 'Here Lyse the Body' from Witches Garden Crafts. Evan also talks about her knitting and crochet projects, such as a granny square skirt, the Double Date Sweater, a ZZ Tank top, and a stuffed Stegosaurus toy. She ends with a book chat, sharing her recent reads and current books.

  • Finished the Forager socks, a test knit, and the Honeysuckle Top.
  • Started a new cross stitch stitch-along, 'Here Lyse the Body', with hand-dyed fabric from Witches Garden Crafts.
  • Worked on a Blastoise cross stitch, completing dark gray, dark blue, and dark brown sections.
  • Cast on a new ZZ Tank top by Tanis Lavallee, but is having gauge issues and may need to redo it.
  • Showed the nearly finished Puff the Magic Stegosaurus, ready for stuffing.
  • Read 8 books this week, including a 5-star read, 'The Unknown' by Riley Sager.
