Episode 97 – Civic Duty

You get serenaded by me today, then….

Announcements: Visit the 100th Ask Me Anything thread and, well, ask me anything!

FO: Super Secret Knitting – hat and Mama’s Bluebird. (follow links for deets)

WIP: the usual Bad Wolf Bay Color Affection and Augusta Caridgan (again, follow links for deets)

Spinning: Completed the Alpaca Silk and Fondant Fibre Punis. Visit Fondant Fibre here!

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!

Book: Hand Dyeing Yarn and Fleece: Custom-Color Your Favorite Fibers with Dip-Dyeing, Hand-Painting, Tie-Dyeing, and Other Creative Techniques by Gail Callahan  and her Color Grid. Her interview is at Gynx Yarn’s blog and videocast, The Dyer’s Notebook Ep 94.

That podcast I was talking about – The Knitworthy Podcast. BeingBrianne 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.
