Episode 12 - Interview with Lori Versaci of VERSACIKNITS

Hello!

We are happy to tell you that we have just uploaded our newest podcast episode which is an interview with knitwear designer Lori Versaci of Versaci Knits.

You can watch it here (you will also find the video at the end of this post).

We really enjoyed spending the time talking with Lori, a New Jersey-based designer with a beautiful collection of patterns (we love all of them) and we hope you enjoy listening (and knitting!) to this latest episode!

Lori just released a beautiful new shawl pattern, Number 10, which we talked about with her, as well as her experience designing it. Lori also shared her, and her daughter's experience, getting Coronavirus a few weeks ago, and what symptoms Lori had. Finally, we discussed her other designs, and how she came to be a knitwear designer.

Lori is currently hosting a KAL for the Number 10 shawl in her Ravelry group! It is a really friendly group of knitters, and it only just started a few days ago. If you would like to join in you can find it here.

Show notes:

The yarn that Lori used in the Number 10 shawl is the Wes Anderson mini skein set from Hypothesis Yarns, a lovely Nova Scotia-based indie dyer. Chrissy is currently out of Number 10 kits, but I believe preorders for more are going up this later this week! So keep an eye out for them. And, truthfully, all of her yarns are just lovely.

Lori shared another beautiful version she knit up in WoolFolk too!

We also discussed Lori's LYS at the end of the episode, which is Wild Hand, based in Philadelphia and owned by Liz Sytsma.

And any of the Lori's designs we talked about during the podcast can be found on her Ravelry page  here.

You can also find Lori Versaci on instagram as @versaciknits

Thank you for watching. We hope all of you are doing alright and, if you are able to, self isolating. And if you are an essential worker, thank you to the moon and back. All our love!

Stay safe and healthy,
Two Sheep
(Vivian & Jennifer)
