So, it was my birthday yesterday and I took the day off. There may be show notes one day. But for now, just know there is a contest for my birthday. ENjoy!

Announcements

Summer Lovin’ A-long!  Anything inspiring you – colors, fibers, images – to think about spring and/or summer, go for it!  All crafty fiber arts accepted.    There’s a prize…. The Color Wheel‘s wool/nylon blend in her Ian colorway.  I have an indecision moment trying to decide what I’m going to make for this along… finally chose to crochet the Blue Lagoon by Lily Go with my Wolle’s CCC in Tealish Purple.

FO (of the week)

Epic1313 shared with the group her Montego Mystery KAL.  Beautiful, epic FO.  Well done, you.

WIP

• Pagona by Steven West in Noro King.  You get to watch me realize I did my math wrong and being disappointed in how much I actually have left.
• Cerisara by Bonne Marie Burns in Elsabeth Lavold Silky Wool has a sleeve started!  Woot!
• Handspun Socks in the Serpentine pattern by Wendy Johnson that had an epic fail this week.

Spinning

Finished up my friend’s silk hankies.  SO PROUD.
