Yumi Yarns Podcast Ep. 10 – Mosaic Knitting, Musselburgh Progress & Yarn Leftove

Hey fiber friends!

Episode 10 of the Yumi Yarns Podcast is live, and it’s a cozy one! I’m sharing a few cheerful finishes, walking you through the start of my Springtime Sips mosaic knitting project, and showing you where I’m at with all the WIPs on my needles. I’ve also got a quick yarn stash update as I continue the great leftover cleanup of 2025.

As always, a huge THANK YOU to my lovely Patreon supporters—you make this community possible! If you’re not already a member of the Comfort Crafting Club, I’d love to have you join us.

Let’s dive into the stitches!

Comfort Crafting Club Project – Springtime Sips

This mosaic knitting mug rug pattern is our new make-a-long project in the Comfort Crafting Club. It’s beginner-friendly and super fun once you get the hang of the colorwork repeats.

In this episode, I walk you through how to get started with the Springtime Sips mosaic knitting pattern. It’s a great intro to working with slipped stitches and simple colorwork. I’ll also be posting shorter tutorial clips on Instagram over the next couple of weeks!
