On the Needles: (00:30)

Check our Ravelry group for the "Knit a Square for Alison" project. Jasmin has knit two squares, which are blocking on Knitter's Blocks.

Gigi declares that she is tired of knitting vanilla socks, and has
decided to knit vanilla sweaters instead. Gigi is itching to knit some
patterned socks. "Vanilla socks are SO last year."

Jasmin is still working on her Lisa Souza Mahogany socks and her Bird of Paradise socks (these are on the go knitting). Her Santa Fe wrap is so
close to being done, she can taste it. Jasmin decides that the Noro
Kureyon Sock should be fine as a garment, but isn't so sure about how
durable it will be for socks. Jasmin is looking forward to wearing it
at Stitches West.

Jasmin has knit one Jacoby mitt this week. Gigi has finished the Neckdown Wrap Cardigan, and has decided to buy more of the lovely brown Venezia.

Gigi has put another repeat on the On the Vine scarf. Gigi has decided to knit in the afternoon when her biorythyms are low. Gigi is working on the Perfect Tee, and a watch cap in Cascade 220 superwash. Jasmin waxes poetic about Cascade 220.

Jasmin talks about "relative knitting" and "yarnlemia".

Mother Knows Best: (23:00)

Gigi has finished the Neckdown Wrap Cardigan, and has been hunting for
the right closure. They will be digging in Jasmin's button box.

When Knitting Attacks: (28:00)

Jasmin followed Tika's and Candy's
lead and decided to knit a pair of Jacoby mitts. She pulled out some
Jade Sapphire 2-ply cashmere out of her stash, and cast on. Sadly,
Jasmin's brain wasn't engaged, and she knit 4" of the Jacoby before she
decided they were too big. While she was ripping, she discovered that
the Jade Sapphire 2-ply cashmere is fragile. Jasmin has reworked the numbers and is making good progress on them now.

Gigi is frustrated. She has been working on the "Perfect Tee"
(Ann Norling pattern #67) sweater. Gigi got a copy of the revised
version, which was supposed to have the corrections.  Gigi has
discovered that it is wrong, again. Jasmin has called Ann Norling to
get corrections, left a message, and hasn't gotten a call back.

If you have bought the Perfect Tee Pattern, Jasmin recommends calling
the LYS you purchased it at and request that they call Ann Norling and
let her know that the pattern has some issues.

Events:Meet and greet with the Knitmore Girls at Stitches West in the Purlescence booth from 2-4pm, Saturday, February 28, 2009.
