Fashionably Riding – 01:44
‘Team Even Downhill Socks‘ (ravelry link) as well as the ‘Mesmerizing Riddler Socks‘ (ravelry link) have been standouts among the handknits getting worn. The ‘Magic Sweater‘ (raavelry link) has been mended. Mr. Kickass has been happily wearing many of his sweaters, but his favorite remains his first “Donegal Sweater“(ravelry link).

Open Throttle – 06:50
Operation Sock Drawer is back in the show with a few rounds on the ‘Kitties’N’Cream Socks‘ (ravelry link). I’ve been able to get a start on Mr. Kickass’ sweater for 2026. He will be receiving a “Riverfolk Pullover” (ravlery link) by designer Moira Engle. His sweater will be in Miss Babs ‘Yowza’ in the colorway “Dusk”.
This pattern is a KnitPicks exclusive, and if you would like to purchase it, please consider using the affiliate link from The Unraveling Podcast – there is 0 additional cost to you, and the hosts have been very supportive of me.

Stalled – 20:57
I forgot my 4.5mm needles at home and was obliviously knitting away on the “Riverfolk Pullover” on the wrong size needles. Very much defeats the purpose of gauge swatching, and choosing a specific yarn. Frogging all of that also removed a cable that I had twisted in the wrong direction.
Mom’s Yarn Stash: OMG – 24:46

This segment inspired the episode title. A description of ‘The Weasel Effect’ can be found here, please be aware that this website DOES use some AI generated images. For some information on why Weasels (and their relatives) are WAY worse, check out this video by the hilarious Casual Geographic on youtube.
There was evidently excess dye in the red “Fresh Steamed Crab” yarn that I was using in the “Good Morning Baltimore” Shawl. It stained the white yarn pretty badly. And when I was rising the dye, the alpaca yarn felted. In cold water. I will be frogging the shawl, discarding the ruined yarns, acid setting the red – just in case, and reknitting the shawl. The remake will be called “Good Morning Baltimore Reprise” and will hopefully be ready by Maryland Day, March 25th.
