Over the course of his career, Ethan Evans reviewed 10,000+ resumes, conducted over 2,500 interviews, and made more than 1,000 hires. He knows a thing or two about finding, onboarding, AND developing the right people. In this high-energy conversation, Ethan shares the qualities he looked for and the aspects of character he believes are most important for leaders. You'll find great value in reflecting on the lessons he learned from a big mistake he made at Amazon that got him in trouble with CEO Jeff Bezos. Ethan is a former Vice President at Amazon. During his 15 years there, he helped invent many of the offerings that we take for granted today, like Prime Video, Amazon Video, and the Amazon App Store. Prior to Amazon, Ethan spent 12 years at 3 startups.  In September of 2020, Ethan retired from Amazon and made the decision to pay it forward. He devotes time to teaching leaders to become true executives through courses he offers and the free content he provides on LinkedIn and his website. You'll discover: How Ethan added to the Amazon Leadership Principle of OwnershipWhat Ethan looks for when interviewing a candidate or considering someone for a promotionThe five steps in Ethan's Magic Loop for managing upWhat leaders can do to build trust quicklyA big mistake Ethan made at Amazon and the lessons he learned from itCheck out all the episodesLeave a review on Apple PodcastsConnect with Meredith on LinkedInFollow Meredith on TwitterDownload the free ebook Listen Like a Pro

You have been at your company for a while, you’re working really hard, but for some reason, you’re just not getting promoted. What are you doing wrong? Why do some people get promoted faster? Surprisingly, the key to getting promoted is not work harder, it’s about getting the right work done. Watch Ethan Evans, VP of Twitch Prime at Amazon, talk about The Magic Loop. The Magic Loop is 5 simple steps Ethan has developed over the last 25 years of management that you can implement now, which will grow your career. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Stream Questions - How early is too early to ask for a promotion? - What is the best way to connect on LinkedIn? - For LinkedIn, do you think quality over quantity matters? What is better? - Do you think LinkedIn will evolve as a primary platform like Instagram/Twitter for advertising and exposure? - Is writing content on LinkedIn worth the effort? Does it actually generate useful leads for networking and career advancement? - Do you think that there are different types of qualification that engineers/STEM majors should specifically have. - How do I apply the magic loop if doing the basic job is consuming most of my time, energy and mental capacity to do well? How can I get to from step one to two? - Would you recommend applying the Magic Loop for ALL levels of management? - Does the amount of hours you put in, the high level of your work product, and application of the Magic Loop truly equal the sheer speed you can move up the ladder at?

It's time to celebrate our favorite seasonless knit, SOCKS! The perfect portable project, we always have a pair on our needles between larger projects. There's really nothing better than a pair of handknit socks for gifting OR wearing. This week we dive into our new Simply Socks pattern collection. After years printing collections of wild socks with fabulously complicated colors and stitch patterns, we've put together a collection of basic, everyday patterns that we all secretly (or not so secretly) really WANT to wear. Perfect for gifting to anyone in your life (hello fellas!) or filling your own sock drawer, we promise these new patterns will have you casting on your next pair ASAP. Stacey and Hannah get serious with our second Q+A session all about, you guessed it, SOCKS! Listen in as they weigh the pros and cons of DPNs vs Magic Loop, and share advice on how to make sure you get the perfect fit every time. We'll be doing Q+A segments regularly so keep those comments coming! As always, happy listening and happy crafting!

Knitting Segments   Show Ready Knits Drips Hat  This was my Panthers hat, to support my hometown team going to the Super Bowl.   Yarn: Fiberspates Vivacious DK in Deep Aqua and Mission Falls 1824 Wool in Black I'm holding the DK weight double to match the gauge of the black. Needles: Size 10 Signature Convertibles, using Magic Loop.     Knitting News, Notes and Events The Twist Fiber Studio contest ended on February 10th and the winner was announced on this episode. The coupon code, ACTUALLYKNITTING, is still good in the shop until February 29th, 2016. Listen up to see if you are the lucky winner.    I'll be attending the following events:   Carolina Fiber Frolic March 18-20   Carolina Fiber Fest (tentatively) March 26th   Finishing class with Alana Dakos May 14th, 2016     Broadway Kal If you are hearing this episode, the KAL has begun!    Cast on: February 15, 2016 Bind off: April 15, 2016 The theme is Broadway, and you can interpret this theme as strictly or as loosely as you’d like. Basically, your project should tie in with a play or musical (on Broadway, or a little further from the Great White Way, the decision is yours). How you tie in your project with the theme is up to you, make it work! Have fun! Is the yarn or pattern actually named after a Broadway show or character or even a song from a show? Does the project remind you of a costume from a show? Is the yarn bright green, so it reminds you of Elphaba’s skin in Wicked? You get the point! Here is a great website where you can see Broadway shows listed by the year that they opened. You never know what might inspire you! There is a featured bundle in this group where any group member is free to add patterns you find that might work. This thread is for discussion and planning. Feel free to chat, encourage, make suggestions, etc. Closer to the cast-on date, a thread will be opened for finished objects. We will keep this KAL to one post per person in the FO thread, that way everyone is kind of on even ground. You may complete as many projects as you like, but you will put all of your FOs in one post in that thread. So far there are no sponsors or prizes, but we’ll find something! If you would like to donate a prize, please PM me, Michelle, actuallyknitting. Yay! Bravo! Break a leg!    There is a chatter thread open on the Actually Knitting Podcast group on Ravelry.

Short Row Heel, Cabling, Magic Loop   This show by sponsored by my Longaberger Home Business and Quince & Co.  Show notes at www.knittingpipeline.com The folks at Quince & Co believe that businesses can be good citizens—should be good citizens—without making too much a fuss about it.

Kelley talks about the Magic Loop technique and the ways that it simplifies knitting socks and other projects.

This episode has been sponsored by: On the needles: Jasmin and Gigi have pulled some UFOs out of the closet! Jasmin picked up her Lady Eleanor again. Gigi knit one in 2006 out of SWTC's Karaoke, which she bought at Carolina Homespun. This is the project that got Gigi and Jasmin knitting backwards (the preferred method for knitting entrelac). Gigi is planning on knitting some entrelac socks out of Jasmin's handspun (the Freestone Firecracker). Jasmin's Lady Eleanor is knit out of the Paton's Soy Wool Stripes. Jasmin thinks that that WEBS still has the Noro Silk Chunky on sale. (Wrong, but it's still a good value.) This would make a FABULOUS Lady Eleanor. Jasmin was listening to Episode 20 of the Manic Purl podcast, and recommends it. It's about why we shop. Jasmin has finished the body of her Pride sweater. The pattern has some math problems, but it's basic. Gigi has unearthed her Neckdown Wrap Cardigan, which she is finishing for Jasmin. Jasmin found the Crystal Creek Batt that she was spinning for Gigi (the black and gold), so she's working on that. Gigi is working on a pair of Regia Galaxy socks, she's working on the Honeycomb socks from the Little Box of Socks (out of Black Wildfoote and Day-Glo Opal). Gigi has completed the Sharks watch cap for Sam. Jasmin is working on her Yucatan Orchid socks. Woo! Contest! The "Do some good" contest. Give what you can to who you can. The deadline for this contest is January 1st. Please let us know what you've done- either in our Ravelry group, or send us and e-mail. Prizes include three signed copies of Free Range Knitter by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee and two skeins of Malabrigo sock yarn. Mother Knows Best: Our friend Teresa used to choose each project based on learning a new skill with each one. Gigi has decided to "do better". Gigi is practicing knitting without looking. Jasmin talks about some ways to start knitting in the dark. When Knitting Attacks: Jasmin apologizes for any misconceptions about the issue with the Knitpicks cable. They have phenomenal customer service. If you have experienced a problem with your Knitpicks needles, you can find their contact information here. Gigi accidentally bought duplicate sock yarn at the Pajamma Jammie Jam. (Jasmin blames this on the early hour and 35% discount.) Jasmin was on the hunt for needles. Apparently, the whole world is knitting with US size 3 and 4 Addi lace needles in the 60" length. (Jasmin needed these sizes/lengths to complete her Pride sweater, knitting two sleeves in the round at once using the Magic Loop technique.) Jasmin got excellent customer service at Commuknity! Gigi has a "when spending attacks", where she bought Jasmin all of the new colors of the Crown Mountain Superwash roving for her birthday/Christmas gifts. Holidays with the Knitmores: Jasmin and Gigi have been reading Stephanie Pearl-McPhee's and Franklin Habit's blogs, and have noticed that they're stressing over holiday knitting. Deny that urge to knit a last-minute holiday gift. (Check out the DROPS advents calendar!)

OTN: Gigi is working on Double basket socks- Sock #2. She has finished the "Right side wrong side cable" socks. She's running out of UFOs! Gigi is swatching for her Knitting Olympics Project.  This week, she has swatched the Freestone Firecracker handspun (pictured above) and the Creatively Dyed Ocean. Jasmin has finished the first Butter Peeps sock (and is working on the second), and is plugging away at a handspun sock. She's knitting on a sock out of Creatively Dyed Ocean, Magic Loop style.  Jasmin has been keeping to the Social Pressure Experiment. Both Jasmin and Gigi will be reviewing Shibui sock yarn- on a future episode. Review: All's Well That Ends Well- Shakespeare Santa Cruz. Jasmin isn't sure if the story or the production she didn't like. Listen for details. Mother Knows Best: Olympic Health -Do all your planning now. Avoid heartache. Avoiding Olympic injury! Set a timer- every 15 minutes, get up and stretch. Do a Sun Salutation. Catch a bathroom break, drink water. If your hands start to hurt, stop knitting right away, and go ice them. Eat frequently and healthily. We're Olympians! When Knitting Attacks: Evidently, not being able to count is genetic. Who'd have thought? Events: Sunday, August 17th- Monterey Wool Auction Friday, August 22nd- Burn This- Shakespeare Santa Cruz.

Double-pointed needles, two-circular needles or one long circular needle? In the old days, you didn’t have the luxury of matching a knitting style to your project or your individual idiosyncracies. Now you can choose classic DPN instructions from books like Sensational Knitted Socks. Try using two circular needles using Cat Bordhi’s Socks Soar on Two Circular Needles or even just one long circular, or Magic Loop, with the help of Bev Galeskas. What are the pros and cons of each method? How do they each work? Is one method really that much easier than any other? When does your project dictate which method you should use? Hopefully, I will shed some light on the questions raised by being lucky enough to have so many options.

Welcome to our first episode! In today’s episode we discuss some of the many ways to knit socks. I demonstrate how to cast on for knitting 2 socks on 2 circs. More info on this technique can be found at the sock knitters cyber class. Also, info on Magic Loop can be found at [...]
