Description

More discussion about shots (not from a glass) and needles (not for knitting). Sorry! We finally get down to knitting, bored dogs, and new projects. We end by laughing at own ridiculousness when read in a transcript.  Show notes with full transcript, photos, and links can be found in the podcast section of our shop website: TwoEwesFiberAdventures.com.

I’ve knit about 6” of my Walk Along tee by AnkeStrick and I’m using Little Fish Stitches fingering. Beginning to worry if I will have enough yarn. Spinning on and off with olive green merino roving. We had one beautiful sunny day this week that I could sit on the deck and spin. Heaven! I’m combining it with another merino I ordered from Paradise Fibers in Spokane, Washington in a dark brown called Bitter Chocolate. Making a 3 ply with two green and one brown single. I’ve spun two skeins. Swatching to make the Abington Mitts by Jennifer Lassonde as part of our Extremities Knit/Crochet Along. Using Dale Garn Helio that I got from Kim’s bag of yarn headed to the thrift store. Enough yarn for a brown and a burgundy pair. Kelly’s Projects  I finished the pair of socks for Robert!  And another Ice Time Hat! The Ice Time Hat is a pattern given to me by BostonJen of Down Cellar Studio podcast. I used two different yellow and purple variegated skeins.  Check out my project page.  Started the Iced Matcha Socks by Dots Dabbles. I’m using handspun wool mohair yarn that I spun from batts I carded. The wool is Charlotte (a gray sheep whose fleece I bought twice in the early 2000s). The mohair is a similar vintage mohair fleece that I bought and dyed.  Both of these patterns are from the designers who have donated prizes for the Extremities K/CAL.  I also started Frog and Toad from frogandcast.com.  I’ve finished Toad and now need to start Frog. Then there are clothes to make. Extremities Knit/Crochet Along This KAL/CAL was inspired by the generous donation of these patterns: Abington Mitts, Jennifer Lassonde, Down Cellar Studio Coffee Socks Collection, Dotsdabbles Designs, Deborah It ends on April 25, 2021. Knit anything for your extremities (hands, arms, legs, feet). Winter Weave Along Ends on March 31. We will have prizes, including a class generously donated by Erica at Weavolution.
