Episode 39 – You Help Me Decide!

PlayPlay

Here’s the deets about this week’s episode!

I give away a $25 Etsy gift card!

Summer Lovin’ Craft-Along!  Only one more week, peeps.  Get those FO’s in the thread!  Or, email me your pic and I’ll get it in the thread for you.

Tour de Fleece – I am proudly a member of Team Knit Me Sassy.  You should join me if you are planning to spin for the TdF.  The link to the team thread is in the Knit Me Happy group, here!

I finished the Serpentine Socks!

The Cerisara (by Bonne Marie Burns, on US7, out of Elsebeth Lavold Silky Wool) and the Koi Rama (by Kitman Figueroa out of orange Annadele Alpaca lace on US4s) both got love, and I officially started my Infinity and Beyond cowl (by Joji Locatelli on US6 out of Unique Sheep Vereve in the Eunonymous gradient) for the Savvy Girl’s KAL.

Finished spinning that Moonwood batt. Yay!

I review the Summer 2013 Interweave Crochet.  It has a fantastic Solomon’s Knot section, worth it for that.

New Podcast (to me)!  A Spinner’s Whirled.
