PlayPlay

Announcements…

Mercedes-along starts today!  Check out her great designs and join us!  I’m making the Girl Friday from some stash Malabrigo.

We’re at 200+ Ravelry group members!  Giving away a skein of Daizieknits‘ in the Call Box colorway.  You may want this for an upcoming KAL, I’m just sayin.  Give Daizie some love in the forum for being so generous to donate the skein by sharing your fave colorway to enter.

Featured FO: The octopus beer cozy by Stacharoonie!  Made me giggle SO MUCH.

WIPs: Pinkerton shawl, the Scylla socks, and the Exchange bag.

No spinning.  Sorry.

Acquisitions: some Felici from knitpicks, souvenir yarn from Hilton head is Manos del Uruguay, and some Highland Handmade fiber.

And then, talk about my Hilton Head adventures!

Episode 42 – More of the Same

PlayPlay

Aptly named, because today you’re seeing pretty much what you saw last week.

Except my one little FO – the Cosmos Doily from American Threads.  It’s a vintage pattern.

My WIPs are the same as last week – the Scylla Socks and the To Infinity and Beyond cowl.  See links from last week.

Spinning is also the same!  It’s Tour de Fleece, and I’m hitting the wheel hard but don’t have much to show for it.  See the links for last week for the Shetland Moorit and Daizieknits Call Box.

I was wearing my Pogona shawl out of Noro King with my shawl pin from Spindlecat Studio.

Still want to make that Girl Friday out of my Malabrigo Worsted.  It will get on the needles, probably after TdF.

Episode 41 – Happy 4th!

Be safe today and this weekend, even if you don’t celebrate the birthday of the United States.  You still should be safe in your everyday tasks, too!

FO – from the group!  fun4tracey shared her colorful crochet bag!  So cute, and functional!

WIPS – To Infinity and Beyond (here is mine) in Unique Sheep gradient and the Scylla Socks (here are mine) in Knittyandcolor Sparkle in Blue morpho

Spinning – “The” Shetland, and Daizieknits Merino/Tussah silk in Call Box

Acquisitions – Tix Trinkets Shawl Gem and shopped a stash – scored a Loop batt, some Funky Carolina in Bombit and Becoming Art in Firefly.

What’s next? A sweater for this winter.  And dangit, I’m convinced I can finish it by winter!!

What’s up?  Flippin’ cowbirds.  Grr.
