Episode 128 – Blanket = DONE

PlayPlay

Welcome to a long-overdue episode! Hope you enjoy the baby noises.

FO – Radiating Suede Star Afghan

WIP – Shetland Bolt and Fizzy Socks

Needle Adjacent – Taygete and some fingerless mitts, maybe One Cable Mitts or Wanderlust.

Acqusitions – from Hook and Needle grand opening! Manos del Uruguay Maxima, Unplanned Peacock fiber, Dragonfly Fibers gradient set, and some Knitter’s Pride tools. Fun day!

The knit-alongs I mentioned are Sassypants Knitter’s Don’t Horde the Precious, Sassypants Knitter’s Knit Yo Bawls, and Caffeinated Knitting’s Spin 12 in 16.

Episode 127 – New Year, New Norm

PlayPlay

I made an error I realized after rendering to mp4 – I actually recorded on January 4! Oops!

I think the new norm for the podcast will be unavoidable baby noises. Sorry guys… new mom and all. And, as sillyfru has pointed out, it’s kinda weird recording when people are home, so you’ll get to hear Isaac a whole lot in the future. I’m sorry if this turns you off… please send me a (polite) private message if this a problem for you and I’ll try to record only during naptimes, but then recording and release schedules will vary more. So be patient with us! Thanks!
