Episode 13 – SAFF Recap!

PlayPlay

SAFF was super fun, guys, and I feel like I just talked about the yarn (well, that’s all I talk about) and forget to mention how AWESOME it was to run into Sillyfru of the Sassypants Knitter podcast, and Rachel of the Knit Me Happy podcast. And, again, sorry I didn’t make the meet-up.

Off my needles – a hat for Fru.

Off the wheel – The Knittyandcolor Tropicana and Daizie Knits Orange Falkland braids are all plied up! Yay! I had BOATLOADS of the orange left. Weird.

On my needles – Paul’s socks, that are almost finished!, and Cerisara by Bonne Marie Burns out of Elsabeth Lavold Silky Wool.

Vendors/dyers I talk about (maybe not in the order I talk about it on the podcast, sorry….)-

Yarn: Dragonfly Fibers Djinni Sock and Traveller, YummiYarns raw silk, Miss Babs Yummy Sock, and Nightfall by Fibrofibers

Rovings: Gale’s Art BFL Swirl, Interlacements BFL, Dragonfly Fibers Polwarth/Silk Blend, Good Fibrations unknown roving (no website, but they provide an email address: goodfibrations AT charter DOT net), CJ Kopec Creations superwash merino (this is the one I put on the wheel), Bonkers bamboo, nylon, ‘n superwash merino, Sheepish Creations Art Yarn kit

Goodies: Bird bag by Slipped Stitch Studios bought from the Woolery, the Ballsack and the stitch markers by Bobbinworks (no website given, but can email at jenifleur.knitting AT gmail DOT com), bird buttons, leaf buttons, and sheep mug from hArtworks Stoneware, the one button from Carol Jensen Parsons of Original ArtworX, and the soap sample and solid lotion bar from the Blue Ridge Soap Shed.

Episode 12 – I want to knit all the things!

Off the needles… the Razor Cardi, the Lady Kina Cardi, a crochet shawl pin, and a cute Halloween Wreath.

On my needles – Cleopatra Socks.

Spinning – Plying the Daizie Knits and Knittyandcolor together

Acquisitions – Universal Starlight in grey and black, a yarn swap for green Shibui Knits

What’s Next – a Hat for Fru, Paul’s socks, Red Leggings to go with my red shoes, another sweater (mentioned a Girl Friday, Helianthus, Greenfield, Folded, Cerisara), and good grief I need to get on that SPAKAL spinning.  Also, considering n-plying that laceweight single I did earlier this summer so as to be able to knit it faster!
