1 – Old Dog New Tricks
I have a quick top on how to satiate that thirst to start a new project when you still have a bit to go on an existing project.  Before you have finished the existing project, do the swatching and wet blocking for your new project. That way, if you have to play about with gauge, you have time to do that and hopefully, be ready to start your new project the moment you have finished the other one. 
 
2 – Perth Project Runway update
Progress is going really well on my Blurred Lines by Deanne at Addydae Designs.  This is one of the best patterns I have ever worked from and the fit is really good, even though I came down to a 3mm hook. 
I have been keeping my project notes up to date on Ravelry, so you can see any changes I have made.  
 
I am currently working on the sleeves even though I haven’t yet finished the main body.  I have chosen to do this because I have now finished using the contrast colour on the main body, which freed up the yarn to do the sleeves.  I find it bulky and cumbersome to add sleeves when you have the near full weight of a jumper and you are constantly moving it about to complete the short rounds of the sleeves.  So, I am doing the sleeves before I finish the rest of the body.  This also means that I won’t be stranded on sleeve island!
 
The other thing I would like to highlight and encourage you to do is swatch with your different cakes of the same yarn.  Even is the same colourway is from the same batch, there can still be differences.  By swatching with all of them, you will quickly see if there is a difference and whether you need to alternate skeins in your project.  This is particularly applicable to garment making.
 
As I mentioned in the podcast. there is a slight but noticeable difference between two of my contrast colour skeins and it seems very likely I will have to rip back about 350m of crochet.  
 
Will this be finished for Perth Festival of Yarn?  Hell yeah!
 
 
ALT TEXT: Blurred Lines jumper progress is shown on an old mannequin   Semi tonal blue yarn with a real halo to it and it’s called ‘Sprucey Bonus’ because it is the colour of the underside of a Spruce Tree.  It is paired with a yarn called ‘Sulk’ and is on an ecru pink base with small patches of teal blue, acid yellow, sea green and plummy purples.   You can see the difference betweek the two variegated skeins.
 
Remember that there is a very informal MAL.  You have from now until 7th September to make or finish off a garment.  WIPs are allowed, it can be in any craft and any garment pattern, you just need to use the #crochetcirclemal and I have also opened a Ravelry thread for you to add to.
 
3 – Final Destination
I only have one FO to show you.  By the time you hear and see this podcast, I will be busy setting up my stand ay Yarnfolk festival in Northern Ireland.  I was fortunate enough to be asked to create a crochet design for the festival and came up with Kinbaine.  I talked about it in Episode 43 and showed off the
