Weird Connections: Knitting and Professional Baseball // Casual Friday 3-03

In this week's podcast I stalk knitwear in the wild and am stalked in return; I settle on my Finish it February projects; an update on my current WIP and the books that helped me design it; and my efforts to modify a 1920's vintage sweater pattern, in which I discover a strange connection between a 19th century professional baseball player and the stitch pattern most commonly used to knit sweaters.
