Episode 10 – Scatterbrained!

PlayPlay

This week, no spinning, no off the needles, no acquisitions… and then no solid train of thought at the end.  I get a little scatterbrained.

 

On the needles….

Razor Cardi by Jennifer Dassau, US 6, Naturally Caron Spa in Greensleeves

Halloween socks in Fishknits Warm Heart, Hobgoblin colorway, US 0

Lady Kina, (Knit along with me!!) byMuriela,US7, Yarn Bee Diva Sequin inIstanbul

 

I review…

Spin Off magazine Fall 2012 – interesting articles, some pretty patterns.  I liked the Eyelet Socks, Neckwarmer, Tangled Leaves Shawl, My First Shawl.

Interweave Crochet Fall 2012 – VERY inspiring this time!  I liked the Saturn Sweater, Fall Fields, Prairie Grass Cardi (destined to be my Mama’s sweater), the filet crochet Chinese Dragon Shawl, Rasta Rose Cardi (oh my goodness I want this NOW).

 

What’s next?

I talk about a couple of WIP socks (the husband’s Christmas socks from last year in Sanguine Griffin Skinny Bugga, planning to rip back half an inch, and the Cleopatra socks out of Miss Babs Yummy that are going to be my version of In Slipping Color).  Once I get the Halloween socks done I’m going to go back to one of those pairs of socks.

Sorry Pippen didn’t make an appearance on the camera today but impacted the recording in other ways.

Thanks Rae1957 for your lovely review!

Please interact with me…. twitter @WeAreYarnPcast, ravelry group, comment here on the show notes!

Off the “needles”… Frobisher the Penguin.  Pattern: Mommy Penguin from Amigurumi World by Ana Paula Rimoli.  Forgot to mention the sample was by Mad Angel Creations and was super nice, fingering weight supewash merino/nylon, colorway “Cthulu Rising”.

In the works…

  • …. Watershed Cardigan by Amy Swenson in Happy-Go-Lucky Worsted, US 7 needles, blocked to within an inch of its life, no sleeves yet!
  • Linen tank!  Finally getting that grosgrain on it! (you guys need to get on me about not having a good picture of that on my rav project page.)
  • Ebbtide Shawl by Elizabeth Doherty out of my handspun on US 6.  Making it without the fancy spine!  Go and change a pattern if you don’t like it!

Acquisitions… Interweave Crochet Summer 2012.  Love the shoes, and other things.  The romper is scary.

Ripped out the Lacy Vest on air!  Help me pick out which cardigan to make at the ravelry group! Or, if you don’t have a ravelry account and don’t want one, leave your vote here and I will include it when I check the poll in 2 weeks!

Talked about Tour de Fleece and my goal of 1 ounce per day during event.  Concerned about the goal, I talk about why, in a rambling kind of way.
