Episode 63 - Bring on the UFOs!

Episode 63 is up!

Episode 62 - Never Ending Garter

Episode 62 is a short one! 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. :)

Of course if I have lots to talk about expect sooner shows!

Episode 61 - Goal Setting 2014

I spent way too long trying to shrink my video so I could upload it to hipcast, and then found out that somewhere along the way they upped my file size and I don't have to shrink them anymore! YAY!

Episode 60 - Stash Busting New Year

Hey! I'm back from my bout with pneumonia and I have done some work to try to improve the video quality. Here's to hoping it's better this week! Sorry it's been so bad for so long.



If you have any questions or comments please make sure you ask in the Ravelry group or send me a message!

I hope you all have a fantastic week!

Episode 59 - Gift Knitting Time

We drew winners for the September - November KAL so if you participated make sure you watch!

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 this thread and give us your ideas.

Episode 58 - Back to Socks

Episode 57 - Week of Win

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. :)

Episode 56 - Ups and Downs

Episode 55 - Almost November

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!

Episode 54 - Now on Hipcast!

The first new episode on our new hosting site. Please let me know if there are any quality issues! I've had to shrink the file size down quite a bit to accommodate the changes!

Episode 53 - Live from my Office

This is Episode 53 of A Spinner's Whirled. Please check the blog and Ravelry group for more details!

Episode 53 - Live from my Office

This weekend has been super busy and I'm fighting off the start of cold/allergy season. If you have any questions on anything you see please go over and check my project page on Ravelry. You should find project details there! If your questions are still unanswered please feel free to send me a private message or post in the Ravelry group!



Have a great week!

Episode 52 - The Vacuum...

Hubby decided he needed to vacuum the loft while I was recording. Unfortunately the sound picked up but it is still easy to hear me over the sound (at least on my end.) If you have trouble let me know and I can see what I can do about fixing it!


Hope you all have a fabulous week!

Episode 51 - Cats Everywhere

Episode 50 - Feels Like Fall

Work is keeping me busy and I do not have time at the moment to update the show notes! I have big plans to get those done this week assuming all goes well!


In the meantime, if you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask!

Episode 49 - I've Got The Blues

Thanks for watching! If you have any questions please feel free to send me a message on Ravelry or ask in the group. :)
