Episode 42 - Lots and Lots

Episode 42 is up! I have lots of finished things this week!



Some of the shops talked about in this episode:

The Unique Sheep

Highland Handmades

Patterns discussed:

Brickless

GAP-tastic Cowl

Episode 41 - Very Delayed

I had full intentions of recording before I left for the Honeymoon but then life got in the way! 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. :)

I hope everyone has a fabulous week!



There are two shops I brought up in my episode today that I want to mention!

The Brickless by Martina Behm that I am making out of The Unique Sheep 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.

The fiber I'm spinning is "Not Drinking Merlot" by KnittyAndColor. 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! Check his stuff out too while you are at it....)

Episode 40 - Pure Randomness

Episode 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! :)


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. :)

P.S. I'm going to SSK! If anyone else is going and wants to get together let me know!

Episode 39 - Have you Seen my Gauge?

Yea... very little knitting gets accomplished when gauge is a disaster! I really need to work on that!

Prizes are drawn for the podiversary AND the Spring SALCALKAL!! If you entered any of the two make sure you watch!


I hope everyone has a fabulous week! Next week's episode will probably be a bit early since I'm heading back out of town the following week.
