This is our last episode of the year, as we’re taking Christmas and New Year’s weeks off. We’ll be back in January. Happy Holidays!
Our lovely sponsors this week:

How do ever find out what the staple length is! This seems to be vital information but it’s not available.
Sandra – you can always ask the yarn company…but yes, I agree, this should be information we get on the yarn label. You can also look at Ravelry reviews for the yarn to see if people are taking about pilling or not.

Hi there, loved the episode (finally catched up on them!).
I’ve a totally unrelated question… I seriously love that vector, is it royalty free?
Best,
– Tatiana.
Thanks, Tatiana. To answer your question, I purchase all of the images I use from a stock image site.

Thanks for starting my year off right with more great podcast episodes. I always learn something new or feel encouraged to stretch my skills after listening to you ladies.
Another suggestion for a first cable project is the Shadow Blue Neckwarmer: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/shadow-blue-neckwarmer
It’s worked flat and is a small, one skein project. I found it a very easy introduction to cables.
Concerning the question about square needles, I’d like to add that I find stitches easier to pick up or get my right needle under as I knit, thus I can knit a little faster. On round needles the yarn ‘hugs’ or conforms to the needles a little more but the square ones seem to leave a little gap (the yarn doesn’t conform to a square) that I can slide into more easily. I don’t find much difference from the round ones otherwise.
