Still need to sew grosgrain onto my linen tank. Ugh. And take a picture! Geez, I need to get on that.

Looking to make a tank by Drops out of universal summer linen, will be a frog-on-the-air after razor complete, unless I get all flighty and change my mind. heh.
I am new to knitting and video podcasts; could you tell me what BFF means? I keep hearing different people refer to the yarn as such.
Thanks! I really enjoy watching you.
I mean BFL!!! lol
Hi, Dru! I’m glad you’re enjoying my show! I’m sorry I didn’t elaborate on the podcast; I’m still learning to pay attention to things like that. BFL is short for “Bluefaced Leicester,” it is a type of sheep, and is very popular for it’s spinning-quality wool. I found the wikipedia article for you here!
Thanks for the acknowledgement,
to answer the episode title,> no, you do not talk fast. Not to me, anyway!!! You got a nice steady rhythm.
the FOs are very nice, altho’ I don’t fancy doing the scarf,…very fiddly. But I love the watershed.
The shawl is looking great.
The vest, well I don’t envy you having the sewing to do, just not my forte.
until next time, take care,
