Yarn Barf

We’re comparing top-down and toe-up socks, talking pros, cons, personal preferences, and why you might choose one over the other. Which side are you on? 🧶🧦 And, of course, there’s plenty of the Yarn Barf Crew’s signature wandering conversation along the way. Another episode you don’t want to miss!

We’ve all done it: spotted a pattern, fallen in love, and immediately decided we must make it—even though we have no idea where it will go, who it’s for, or why we need it. With special guest Mosaic Lady, we’re diving into the projects we want to make but absolutely do not need. From impractical knits to delightfully ridiculous creations, we’re celebrating the joy of crafting just because something makes us happy. Grab your WIP pile, ignore your stash guilt, and join us for some unnecessary (but totally justified) making.

Should you sell your crafts? Should you charge for your time? Should you just keep hoarding yarn and pretending you’ll finish that project someday? This week on Yarn Barf, we dive headfirst into the chaos of selling handmade goods and whether it’s actually worth it.

Feeling stuck in a crafting rut? In this episode of Yarn Barf, we’re talking about creative burnout, lost motivation, and simple ways to rediscover the joy of making. Whether your WIPs are piling up or your crafting mojo has gone missing, join us for a candid conversation about getting inspired again.

Ever wonder why crafting groups can feel like a cozy knitting circle one minute and complete chaos the next? This week on Yarn Barf, we untangle the messy world of social media etiquette, online crafting culture, and the dynamics that come with fiber arts communities. Grab your WIP and come stitch through the chaos with us.

Join us as we take Yarn Barf on the road to a local fiber fair! We chat with talented vendors, hear the stories behind their craft, and dive into what makes the fiber arts community so creative, welcoming, and inspiring. From handmade yarns to sheep shearing, this episode is full of fiber-filled fun…and also bats.

Take a break from our regularly scheduled programming to hear how fellow crafters multitask while they stitch! This short and sweet bonus episode is packed with relatable habits, cozy chaos, and just enough yarn talk to tide you over until next time.

Dive into the art (and chaos) of multitasking while knitting or crocheting. From stitching during podcasts and TV shows to even reading a book (yes, seriously), nothing is off limits for this crew. Plus, a special shoutout to Kari’s squeaky chair and the ice cream man that definitely tried to steal the spotlight.

Get to know the Yarn Barf Crew and watch us fumble through the beginning of something new, discussing how we got started, what crafts we prefer, and weird toes?
