Episode 26 – All Crochet All The Time! (almost)

PlayPlay

This week, for Nat’l Crochet Month, I worked on the Haiku shawl and got my Interweave Crochet in the mail. Afghan still sadly in the closet.

I finished up my stripey socks and plied the Gale’s Art camel/silk blend. (Gale’s etsy shop here)

I am working on my Volcanic Asterope.

I got my final shipment for Space Cadet Creations, and am not going to sign back up as I signed up for the Tridye Yarn Club.  Here’s a link to the info about SpaceCadet’s club, spots still open for the Tridye Yarn Club.

Also got an order from Girl Meets Spindle.  Her hankies, and pretty much everything else, are gorgeous.

I hope, next week, you may see some n-plied red-to-yellow gradient, and maybe a spun hankie.  Or maybe some afghan squares.

Episode 25 – Pronk like no one is watching!

So, so many things to show you guys today!

First, thanks busymom. You rock!

Secondly,  about the music.  I had second thoughts about using We Are Young by FUN! when I saw a discussion about use of music in podcasts in Ravelry.  I swear I remember reading somewhere that you could use up to 30 seconds of a song without breaking copyright, but now I can’t find that without reference to reviewing the song.  So, I have decided to pull it from my podcast.  Sadly.  I know a lot of you guys liked it.  But, I found Kitten Knittin Blues by Jacob Haller on the podsafe network and I fell in love.  Like, 2 years ago.  So, at least for the time being, that’s going to be my intro/exit music.  It’s a funny song.  I mean, what drugstore sells yarn?!?  Hah!  And he’s knitting a kitten.  A siamese.  Go give the full song a listen.

National Crochet Month!
