With recording alone and slogging on a single project I had very little to show. Until I pick up other things to talk about or Dori returns there will probably be episodes every other week instead. :)<br />
<br />
Of course if I have lots to talk about expect sooner shows!<br />

<br />
For the next KAL we have been toying with the idea of doing a year long KAL with prizes drawn several times throughout the year. We have nailed down the details yet because we want to make sure we get viewer input! So please make sure you go on over to <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/discuss/a-spinners-whirled/topics/2773631">this thread</a> and give us your ideas.<br />

<br />
Lots of things to talk about this week but very little knitting to show. New cell phone games sucked me away from the yarn this week and as an added bonus I've been working out again! If anyone is on fitbit and wants to be my friend let me know. :)Spun2Tighthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10454410487502028995noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803501884080217556.post-81463579824339017472013-11-10T14:37:00.003-08:002013-11-10T14:37:40.141-08:00Episode 56 - Ups and Downs<iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/e2XqBIf2vAY?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>Spun2Tighthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10454410487502028995noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803501884080217556.post-23735885877965431892013-10-30T15:02:00.002-07:002013-10-30T15:02:59.525-07:00Episode 55 - Almost November<iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/Y9mVEH4EV1w" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
It looks like I'll have to upload videos to youtube so that they can be viewed on the blog. Hopefully I will get them up here on the blog as soon as they're recorded but depending on how life goes it may be delayed. Shownotes are not happening right now due to the sick kitty but as she improves I hope to get them back up and going!Spun2Tighthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10454410487502028995noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803501884080217556.post-6065244988588153652013-10-20T18:41:00.001-07:002013-10-30T15:03:39.872-07:00Episode 54 - Now on Hipcast!The first new episode on our new hosting site.

Oops! Gotta love when it sneaks up on you like that! After watching a marathon of podcasts today I decided that I couldn't wait until next week to put out a new episode. :)<br />
<br />
I hope everyone has a fabulous week!<br />

<br />
There are two shops I brought up in my episode today that I want to mention!<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/brickless" target="_blank">Brickless</a> by Martina Behm that I am making out of <a href="http://theuniquesheep.com/" target="_blank">The Unique Sheep</a> gradience in Tinsel Toes. They still have the Tinsel Toes yarn on their site although I haven't seen the "15 Step" color that I have pieces of. In the last 4 years since I bought this yarn they have come out with a LOT more colors, so the 15 Step may have been retired.<br />
<br />
The fiber I'm spinning is "Not Drinking Merlot" by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/KnittyAndColor" target="_blank">KnittyAndColor</a>. I've talked about her many times before, she's fabulous and I support her every chance I get! (P.S. Her husband makes some gorgeous spindles that I've been dying to buy for awhile! <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/SubterraneanWoodwork" target="_blank">Check his stuff</a> out too while you are at it....)Spun2Tighthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10454410487502028995noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803501884080217556.post-49622332370320096592013-06-08T17:58:00.000-07:002013-06-08T17:58:15.018-07:00Episode 40 - Pure RandomnessEpisode 40 is up! I still haven't heard from 2 of the winners that were drawn last week so make sure you check out Episode 39 if you entered the Spring KAL/SAL! :)<br />

<br />
I hope everyone has a fabulous week! We did talk for a bit about the halfway point so if you aren't into the chatter you can skip out at that point. :)<br />
<br />
P.S. I'm going to SSK! If anyone else is going and wants to get together let me know!Spun2Tighthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10454410487502028995noreply@blogger.com0
