👉 Should you submit your designs to magazines and publications—or not?

Описание: In this episode of my knitwear design vlog, I'm chatting a little about something many knitters and aspiring designers wonder about: should you submit your designs to magazines and publications—or not? I share my personal take on how I think about submissions these days and how to take the no answers.

I also walk you through my latest submission success—The Gadzillion Socks, featured in Laine’s 52 Weeks of Scrap Yarn! I show you the original prototype, the ideas behind the design, and how I chose yarn scraps to bring it to life.
If you're feeling inspired, Laine is running a fun #ScrapAlong right now until October 31. You can read more and join here:👉 lainepublishing.com/scrapalong

I am also mentioning @slowknitsbyelina She has also great points about how to support smaller designers.

On My Needles: Lots of Colorwork Socks!

Lately, I’ve been mostly knitting sock patterns with bold colorwork—and I’ve got a bunch of new designs in the works. Here's what I'm working on:
Migraine Socks – Pattern coming out soon!
Unnamed Socks – Still figuring out the name… ideas welcome!
Building Blocks Socks – Test knit call coming soon
Granola Girl Socks – Also looking for testers!
If you enjoy testing, or just want a peek behind the scenes of pattern development, you’ll like this segment.

Mentioning also Laurelknits. You can check out her lovely yarns here: https://laurelknits.fi/

A Cold Splash to End With
And finally, I end the episode with a few thoughts (and tips) about cold water and ice swimming. It’s not exactly knitting-related, but it’s something I’ve been doing for a while—and I know a few of you are into it too!

Thanks for being here and watching! I always love hearing your thoughts—especially if you’ve ever thought about submitting your own designs.

See you again soon, and until then, happy knitting! 🧶💕
