Shownotes Transcript

In this episode, Lee and Stacey are joined by designer Yu Ra Kim, also known as Knitboop, to discuss her work, including her recent pattern in our collection Déjà Yarn: Single Color Stashbusters. They also chat about her patterns in previous collections, like the Trellis Tee, and her next upcoming design. The conversation then turns to Yu Ra’s online project that consumes much of what could be her knitting time: Craftivity Club. Craftivity Club will be an online community for multicrafters–including knitters and more–that’s being built with accessibility and inclusivity in mind.   Plus, Lee and Stacey share what they’ve been working on, and Andi joins in to chat with Stacey about the Axiom KAL.    00:02 Welcome to the Knit Picks Podcast!  00:19 Lee and Stacey share what they’ve been up to. 13:56 Stacey and Andi talk about their Axiom progress. 20:48 Designer Yu Ra Kim joins Lee and Stacey to discuss her work. 27:51 Yu Ra shares her thought process behind her Bodeul hat from Déjà Yarn.  31:56 Listeners get a description of Yu Ra’s next pattern that she’s working on. 35:09 Yu Ra tells Lee and Stacey about the online community she’s developing for multicrafters.  43:11 Learn where to find Yu Ra around the internet. 44:40 Credits   Hawthorne DK yarn https://www.knitpicks.com/yarn/hawthorne-dk/c/5420481?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode374) Stripes on Stripes Hat pattern (ravelry link) https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/stripes-on-stripes-5) Felicini yarn https://www.knitpicks.com/yarn/felicini/c/5420484?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode374) Brava Stripe yarn https://www.knitpicks.com/yarn/brava-stripe/c/5420458?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode374) Lee's Hawthorne DK sweater (ravelry link) https://www.ravelry.com/projects/leethal/tensho-pullover-artist) Hawthorne Fingering yarn https://www.knitpicks.com/yarn/hawthorne-fingering/c/5420251?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode374) Sweater worn in Only Murders in the Building https://wornontv.net/391649/) Lee's cabled yoke movie sweater (ravelry link) https://www.ravelry.com/projects/leethal/improvised-cable-pullover) Lee's Andean Treasure cardigan (ravelry link) https://www.ravelry.com/projects/leethal/atrium-cardigan) Andean Treasure yarn https://www.knitpicks.com/yarn/andean-treasure-dk/c/5420107?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode374) Lee's Swish Pops cardigan (ravelry link) https://www.ravelry.com/projects/leethal/cropped-cardi) Swish Pops yarn https://www.knitpicks.com/yarn/swish-pops/c/5420478?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode374) Axiom Sweater pattern https://www.knitpicks.com/axiom-sweater/p/52918D?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode374) Axiom Knit-along https://blog.knitpicks.com/tag/axiom-kal/?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode374) Regan's colorwork sweater https://www.instagram.com/p/CzEq67eP9ZE/?img_index=1) Namu Cowl pattern https://www.knitboop.com/patterns/namu-cowl) Francoise Danoy's website https://www.francoisedanoy.com/) Japanese Knitting Stitch Bible book https://www.knitpicks.com/japanese-knitting-stitch-bible/p/33453?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode374) Trellis Tee pattern https://www.knitpicks.com/japanese-knitting-stitch-bible/p/33453?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode374) Lounge Act ebook https://www.knitpicks.com/lounge-act-knits-for-kicking-back-ebook/p/75426D?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode374) Déjà Yarn print book https://www.knitpicks.com/deja-yarn-single-color-stashbusters/p/33966?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode374) Déjà Yarn ebook https://www.knitpicks.com/deja-yarn-single-color-stashbusters-ebook/p/75455D?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode374) Bodeul Hat pattern https://www.knitpicks.com/bodeul-hat/p/54223D?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode374) Provincial Tweed yarn https://www.knitpicks.com/yarn/provincial-tweed/c/5420322?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode374) Orange Jinkies Jumper sample https://www.instagram.com/p/CvpkKdfr9iG/?img_index=1) Woodland Tweed https://www.knitpicks.com/yarn/woodland-tweed/c/5420479?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode374) Green Jinkies Jumper sample https://www.instagram.com/p/CzT32FvLfK7/?img_index=1) All of Yu Ra's patterns https://www.knitboop.com/) Yu Ra's main instagram https://www.instagram.com/knitboop/) Craftivity Club instagram https://www.instagram.com/craftivity.club/) Craftivity Club Patreon https://www.patreon.com/craftivityclub) Studio Knitboop shop https://www.knitboop.com/studio-knitboop) Gribbles Miniatures https://www.instagram.com/gribbles.miniatures/)
