Episode 111 – The Zombies Ate My Show Notes!

PlayPlay

No, really.  They did!

I finished the Leaves on a Line shawl, I vent a little about nupps in my Advent Calendar Scarf, show you my needle adjacent socks (you’ve seen them before), and wrap up with a quick look at IW Crochet Winter 2015.

Have a great week!

You get serenaded by me today, then….

While talking about the Alapca Silk blend, I mentioned Hiwassee Creek Dyeworks Beach Bum andDaizieknits Tango, the Monster Hat, and the Lindisfarne Shawl.

I dyed up some bare fiber with that Louet dye – be watching for another Learn With Me video!

That podcast I was talking about – The Knitworthy PodcastBeingBrianne and stoneybrooke, you two are lovely.

Then I went off about how I’m going to spin my next spin. Here’s the picture of the fiber, since the firestar was not at all cooperating.
