EPISODE ELEVEN :: Kate Smalley of Tracing Threads - Beginner's Edge + The Joy of Making from Scratch

Summary: In Episode Eleven of the Close Knit Podcast, I speak to Kate Smalley of Tracing Threads. Kate and i are email pen pals turned real life friends. i found Kate through her blog, tracing threads a few years ago when she posted sewing and knitting projects and thoughts on life post-college. I’m so excited to have gotten the chance to chat to Kate in this capacity for the podcast - and fair warning, there’s a fair bit of giggling. Kate tells me about how she got into knitting and more recently spinning, and her frustrated relationship to sewing. She gives some great advice for keeping yourself grounded and motivated when you’re starting out - and shares her blogging journey.
