In this summer-inspired episode of The Woolly Thistle Shopcast, Corinne and Maggie share vest knitting inspiration and vibrant WIPs. Maggie shares her vest and cable sweater progress. Corinne showcases her Billie Cardigan in Retrosaria Brusca and a festive Lettlopi Christmas stocking. They announce exciting new arrivals like the 2025 TWT Sock Bags, cones of J&S jumper weight, and the upcoming July Sock Sprint.
The episode also features guest segments from several community favorites. Kelsey is here with “Kelsey’s Questions” segment, covering sock and summer patterns. Emma Barnaby shares her picks for warm-weather knitting, highlighting her scrappy Strange Brew sweater and the Tea & Scandal top in Drover yarn. Michele joins as a guest contributor, modeling vests galore—like the Chelsea Waistcoat, Hobbit Vest, and Big Bobble Crop—all in TWT’s beautiful yarns. Finally, the episode wraps with a mindful “Yoga for Knitters” session by Kim of Turning Ground Yoga, perfect for helping knitters stay limber and grounded.
