Join host Gea on this rule-busting, yarn-trusting episode of Skein and Tell as she unravels the magical, messy joy of freestyle fiber art. No pattern? No problem. This episode is your official permission slip to throw out the stitch counts, embrace the wonky, and follow your yarny intuition wherever it leads.
Whether you're reviving an abandoned WIP, crafting a wearable sea slug, or inventing the next fiber fashion genre, this one’s for the rebels, the intuitives, the creative chaos gremlins, and yes, even the scared-but-curious perfectionists.
You’ll learn:
- Why breaking the pattern can actually heal creative burnout
- How to start freestyling without fear (or math-induced headaches)
- Step-by-step tips for freestyling your very first sweater
- How to build your own “garment blueprint” from clothes you already love
- How to use swatching, texture play, and checkpoints to turn chaos into confidence
- Plus, don’t miss: Weird Yarn Monday, where we exfoliate expectations with Coconut Coir Yarn, the scratchy, sustainable overachiever made from coconut husks. Great for plant hangers, bath scrubbies… not so great for baby blankets. You’ve been warned.
- And bringing back our segment What’s Trending, where crochet ballet flats and sheer summer mesh take center stage. It’s all about bows, breathability, and big coastal witch energy this season.
Whether you’re ready to freestyle your next cardigan or just doodle with yarn until it turns into something amazing, this episode will have you embracing the imperfect, the unexpected, and the inspired.
Because crafting isn’t about getting it right… It’s about getting it real! So tag your stitch confessions with #skeinandtell or #hobbiipodcast, on social media, so we can all read them!
And last but not least, send your best (or worst) gauge stories to Gea to [email protected] or leave them in a comment!
Love you bestie, bye! 🧶💖
