Episode 7 – At Least I Could Make More!

PlayPlay

This time, I let you guys know about the yarn.com end-of-summer sale… so tempting…

On my Needles is my Ebbtide, for which I ran out of yarn and had to spin more for (and am now hoping that I made enough….) and I cast on my Razor Cardi. There’s a mini-KAL going on in the thread for Episode 6 in the Ravelry group, come check it out and cast on with us!

Off the needles and spinning is woefully silent.

My final shipment of the TriDye Fiber Club has come, check out the pretties from Gale’s Art. And her crazy fun Elvis promo right now!

I talk about the new Tangled issue, Nearly Fall. stixyarn.com/tangled

And, I discuss the possibility of having a KAL for the Lady Kina cardigan, start date TBA. Free pattern that looks as though it would be flattering on any body type. Check it out, dig through the stash for some worsted weight, and get geared up to start somewhere around mid-September!

Episode 6 – I’ve Been a Busy Bee!

PlayPlay

I’ve been a busy bee in my knitting and other ventures!

Off the neeedles… grosgrain on tank (finally!), Sequin Hat (pattern My Striped and Slouchy Hat by Christi Wasson out of Berroco FX and Full o’ Sheep), and Summer Blooms (by Susanna IC out of Space Cadet Creations Estelle in Juicy).

On the needles…. still the pesky Ebbtide by Elizabeth Doherty out of my handspun.

Spinning…. uh, well…

Acquisitions… Loop Batt! SCORE!! And Aslan Trends Bariloche (saved it from Tuesday Morning!)
