Wild Knits Podcast - Episode 10: Bouclé Bunny Sweater, New Drops Daisy & Glasgow School of Yarn

Hi everyone, I'm Maria (she/her) and welcome to the tenth episode of the Wild Knits Podcast. I have made a bouclé baby bunny sweater for Emma, which she refuses to wear…. I also got the new Drops Daisy yarn, which is also a non superwash merino, just like Sandnes Garn’s famous Double Sunday - so I’m giving a quick first impressions and side-by-side of the two together. And lastly, our local yarn festival (Glasgow School of Yarn) happened last weekend so I’m sharing my favourite stands from the day and also all the yarny goodness that I got!

Love the bunny jumper. Just adorable!

[leannastoufer]

Thank you for this wonderful episode! I love the bunny jumper, though don't have little ones to knit for. I really enjoyed your taking us through the Glasgow School of Yarn!

The bunny jumper is adorable, I would love to see it in other animals as well. I have a nephew arriving in spring and this would be so cute

🎉🎉I love using the hand dyed yarns for cowl, shawls ad hats. I have four boys so lots to knit! 😂😊

I’m just finding out about your podcast and I absolutely love it! Sounds like you had a great time at GSoY. I’ve chatted with Graham a couple of times and you’re right, he’s so so passionate about what he does; it’s just so nice listening to him talk about it. All the best with your pattern release. ❤

Love the bunny jumper, wondering what it would look like in a just wool? Super cute though. Hand dyed usually used in hats but more and more I really want to do a sweater(jumper) with some
