Episode 64 – Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

PlayPlay

Different music today – different location – different attitude toward an old project!  Also, a little distracted in the different location.  Sorry about that.

First Craft-along for 2014 – January 1 through the morning of January 30 – One-skein Worsted-Weight Along!  250 yards or less (can be aran as well, or 500 yds of fingering weight held double), started and finished in the time frame with photo proof. Contact me with a picture if you are not a member of Ravelry and I”ll get your entry in the group.  Winner will be chosen by RNG.

FO – Gallatin scarf by Kris Basta in Red Barn Yarns Llama Sparkle base, colorway Water Sapphire knit on US 10.5, 6.5mm needle.

WIP – Koi Rama by Kitman Figueroa in Annadelle Alpacas Laceweight (no colorway name) on US 3, 3.25mm needles.  

Black socks out, stripey socks in soon.  Black socks may turn into a Windschief Hat for the hubby.  Stripey socks definitely for the hubby.

If you like the snowflake on the tree, it’s this one right here.

If you like the music, it’s by Hollywood Drunks, “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas,” available on the Podsafe Music Network: musicalley.com.

Episode 63 – Bah Humbug!

So, this week the ennui is fading, slowly, with the help of the Gallatin Scarf.

Featured FO is from DQKnits. She made an a-dorable Christmas tree topper.

That’s about it. I talk about baking cupcakes (the coworker they’re for just told me they smell like joy!) and my Southwest Chicken Soup (the recipe is from Real Simple here).

Have a great week!
