Show Notes:
What I'm Wearing
Large Pebble Beach Shawl by Helen Stewart using Madelinetosh Prairie in "Medieval."
FOs
- Opal Sweet & Spicy 2 socks in "Red Cabbage" or Color #8615. They are the 3rd pair of socks for the boxosox KAL that Kristin with the Yarngasam Podcast is hosting. I did a toe-up sock and afterthought heel. I used Kirby Wirby's tutorial for the heel. I also did a Turkish cast on and Jeny's Suprisingly Stretchy bind off.
- My other two pairs that I finished this year are Patons Kroy "Brown Rose Marl" and Voolenvine Yarns Blitzed in "Pandora".
April socks might be West Yorkshire Spinners in "Kingfisher" from Wool Warehouse.
WIPs
- Wildes Meer Shawl by Kristen Lehrer of Voolenvine Yarns using Nice & Knit in "High Tide." 100% Superwash Merino, which can be found at Niceandknit.com. The beads are from Earth Treasures Gems.
- Cozy Memories Blanket using Kemper's recipe of the Junkyarn Podcast and Junkyarn.com. Let me know if anyone out there has any interest in doing a mini skein swap!
- Matthew's rainbow socks using Manic Pixie Dream Yarn Zooey in "Cloudy with a chance of Rainbows."
Spinning
- Malabrigo Nube in "Piedras." (Piedras means stones or rocks in spanish). I'm spinning it thin and I plan to do a 2 ply. I'm using the middle whorl on my Lendrum Fast Flyer, which is a 15:1 ratio.
Stash
- A Good Yarn in Sarasota, FL - Fiber by Happy Fuzzy Yarn - 100% Falkland in "Amazonite and Sunset." A Good Yarn was having a Brooklyn Tweed Trunk show. I got three skeins of Loft in "Fossil" and "Smokestack." I also got a free pattern with purchase. I picked out Kelpie.

Nicole, I enjoyed seeing all the beautiful things you are making! They are all so pretty. Enjoyed seeing your new purchases, and I especially love the Hedgehog Fibres sock yarn. It was good to see Oreo hanging out in the background, too!
