Episode 374: Get to know designer Yu Ra Kim!

Knit Picks' Podcast

In this episode, Lee and Stacey are joined by designer Yu Ra Kim, also known as Knitboop, to discuss her work, including her recent pattern in our collection Déjà Yarn: Single Color Stashbusters. They also chat about her patterns in previous collections, like the Trellis Tee, and her next upcoming design. The conversation then turns to Yu Ra’s online project that consumes much of what could be her knitting time: Craftivity Club. Craftivity Club will be an online community for multicrafters–including knitters and more–that’s being built with accessibility and inclusivity in mind. Plus, Lee and Stacey share what they’ve been working on, and Andi joins in to chat with Stacey about the Axiom KAL. 00:02 Welcome to the Knit Picks Podcast! 00:19 Lee and Stacey share what they’ve been up to. 13:56 Stacey and Andi talk about their Axiom progress. 20:48 Designer Yu Ra Kim joins Lee and Stacey to discuss her work. 27:51 Yu Ra shares her thought process behind her Bodeul hat from Déjà Yarn. 31:56 Listeners get a description of Yu Ra’s next pattern that she’s working on. 35:09 Yu Ra tells Lee and Stacey about the online community she’s developing for multicrafters. 43:11 Learn where to find Yu Ra around the internet. 44:40 Credits Hawthorne DK yarn https://www.knitpicks.com/yarn/hawthorne-dk/c/5420481?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode374 Stripes on Stripes Hat pattern (ravelry link) https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/stripes-on-stripes-5 Felicini yarn https://www.knitpicks.com/yarn/felicini/c/5420484?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode374 Brava Stripe yarn https://www.knitpicks.com/yarn/brava-stripe/c/5420458?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode374 Lee's Hawthorne DK sweater (ravelry link) https://www.ravelry.com/projects/leethal/tensho-pullover-artist Hawthorne Fingering yarn https://www.knitpicks.com/yarn/hawthorne-fingering/c/5420251?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode374 Sweater worn in Only Murders in the Building https://wornontv.net/391649/ Lee's cabled yoke movie sweater (ravelry link) https://www.ravelry.com/projects/leethal/improvised-cable-pullover Lee's Andean Treasure cardigan (ravelry link) https://www.ravelry.com/projects/leethal/atrium-cardigan Andean Treasure yarn https://www.knitpicks.com/yarn/andean-treasure-dk/c/5420107?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode374 Lee's Swish Pops cardigan (ravelry link) https://www.ravelry.com/projects/leethal/cropped-cardi Swish Pops yarn https://www.knitpicks.com/yarn/swish-pops/c/5420478?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode374 Axiom Sweater pattern https://www.knitpicks.com/axiom-sweater/p/52918D?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode374 Axiom Knit-along https://blog.knitpicks.com/tag/axiom-kal/?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode374 Regan's colorwork sweater https://www.instagram.com/p/CzEq67eP9ZE/?img_index=1 Namu Cowl pattern https://www.knitboop.com/patterns/namu-cowl Francoise Danoy's website https://www.francoisedanoy.com/ Japanese Knitting Stitch Bible book https://www.knitpicks.com/japanese-knitting-stitch-bible/p/33453?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode374 Trellis Tee pattern https://www.knitpicks.com/japanese-knitting-stitch-bible/p/33453?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode374 Lounge Act ebook https://www.knitpicks.com/lounge-act-knits-for-kicking-back-ebook/p/75426D?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode374 Déjà Yarn print book https://www.knitpicks.com/deja-yarn-single-color-stashbusters/p/33966?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode374 Déjà Yarn ebook https://www.knitpicks.com/deja-yarn-single-color-stashbusters-ebook/p/75455D?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode374 Bodeul Hat pattern https://www.knitpicks.com/bodeul-hat/p/54223D?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode374 Provincial Tweed yarn https://www.knitpicks.com/yarn/provincial-tweed/c/5420322?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode374 Orange Jinkies Jumper sample https://www.instagram.com/p/CvpkKdfr9iG/?img_index=1 Woodland Tweed https://www.knitpicks.com/yarn/woodland-tweed/c/5420479?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode374 Green Jinkies Jumper sample https://www.instagram.com/p/CzT32FvLfK7/?img_index=1 All of Yu Ra's patterns https://www.knitboop.com/ Yu Ra's main instagram https://www.instagram.com/knitboop/ Craftivity Club instagram https://www.instagram.com/craftivity.club/ Craftivity Club Patreon https://www.patreon.com/craftivityclub Studio Knitboop shop https://www.knitboop.com/studio-knitboop Gribbles Miniatures https://www.instagram.com/gribbles.miniatures/
