Hello!
This episode was a fun one! I was joined by Lydia and Sophie of PomPom Quarterly for chat about the upcoming celebration of PPQ’s 5 year anniversary. I also chat about my new design the Starflower Shawl. I hope you enjoy it!
As ever, the show notes can be found in the EastLondonKnit Ravelry group. We have a giveaway for Pomcast Live tickets, and much more!

Hello!
The Starflower shawl is out now!
Starflower is a semi-circular shawl worked in chunky yarn to create a hug of wool that revels in simple elegance. Easily made as large or as small as you would like, this is a perfect first-shawl project or a quick knit for someone in your life in need of warmth.
I had the pleasure of using the appropriately named Pleasingly Plump yarn from Hill View Farms for this sample shawl, which is an exceptionally soft 100% Blue-faced Leicester wool. This is the same yarn I used for the Starflower Sweater and I can’t recommend it highly enough! 
A shawl may not be the first thing you would imagine knitting with chunky yarn, but I think there is a good case to be made for it! I’ll chat about the shawl and the benefits of chunky yarn on the EastLondonKnit podcast Episode 7, coming out 30th June.
The shawl is 15% off until 4th July 2017 for subscribers to the EastLondonKnit newsletter!
You can buy the Starflower pattern here.

Hello!
I was so excited to chat to karentempler about #summerofbasics and slow fashion at Squam Lake. I have long admired Karen’s work. Are you taking part in #summerofbasics? I would love to hear about it if you are!
