Louise Zass-Bangham
So, you might have guessed that with a toddler underfoot and a book project in the works, I haven’t had a ton of time to knit for myself this year. But one thing I did knit this year was an absolutely fabulous cowl called the Foolproof Cowl by Louise Zass-Bangham. It’s a magical cowl pattern that has almost no casting on and no casting off. It was quick and fun to knit and I loved it so much, we made little kits out of the pattern and our yarn last June for the TNNA trade show.
Today on the show, I am talking with the designer of the Foolproof cowl pattern and many others — Louise Zass-Bangham. Louise is the knitwear designer and founder of Inspiration Knits. She has just launched a brand new book of knitting patterns called Knit Play Colour and there are tons of ideas for using hand-dyed and multicolored yarns in her projects.

Wrapping up the Season
As I mentioned last week, we will be publishing two more episodes of The SweetGeorgia Show before we wrap and call it a season. If you haven’t had a chance to send me your feedback, I would love to hear what you like about the show and where you’d like to see me make changes for the next season. We have a short online survey that you can access here and I look forward to hearing your suggestions.
We have two more episodes to go. Next week we’ll talk to Sonia Ruuts the owner of Stash, a yarn shop in Oregon, and the final episode, I’m thinking of releasing on New Year’s Eve as a nice way to end the year. That final episode will be with Jacey Boggs, editor of PLY magazine.
