I would love to do a knit a long for a BSJ, Feb baby or lady sweater. I am mikeslittlesis on Ravelry.
Which of Casey’s podcasts were you referring to? Is it her 2nd one with the appropriate title of “EZ”?
You commented on not knowing how many yards a EZ project takes since she uses ounces. I, too, used the system of checking completed EZ projects, but I found a better way via one of Kelly Petkun’s podcasts in her KnitPicks podcasts. It is on Episode 56: What’s the weight about? I hope this helps.
