We are still here.
Terri: Trying to be relatively regular.
Libby: Busy getting ready for Forest and such - had a couple nice weekends at home
PAWS
Terri:
Aimee Cardigan- Joji Locatelli (ravelry)All of my partial skeins of Malabrigo Arroyo…well most of them will be popped into this. I hit gaubodyge exactly on my swatch. Doing as a tiny KAL with some people in a group for flannelandpurls. I have bound off the body and started a sleeve which was interesting due to my color decisions.
DRK Everyday cardigan- using Fiber company Lore in the colorway Healer. I’m a bit further than I thought, though I didn’t work on this. I’m about 5 inches in.
My Favorite Vanilla Socks-MCN dyed by a friend of mine over a decade ago in a colorway called Prep School-2010….I added this to my stash. In October 2010. Let’s talk about 2010. ALMOST 15 years ago. Anyways, I turned the heel and am about an inch into the foot.
Obama was President. The Walking Dead, Sherlock, and Downton Abbey debuted, Matt Smith debuted as The Doctor, Eclipse was in the theater.
Instagram was a baby, literally… It was born in 2010
Weekend Cami-Aimee Sherr Cast on in The Wandering Flock Cotton Lino- in the color petal. 35% Organic Cotton, 30% Mulberry Silk, 20% Linen, 15% Alpaca. What a dream to knit with. I want all my summery shirts in this yarn if at all possible. The pattern is alright…it is well written so far, but definitely a different writing style than I’m used to. So, getting used to it has been fun. I should print the pattern out, it’s not my favorite to peruse on my phone.
Libby:
Colorblock Bag - stashed
Wizard Hat by Morale Fiber - stashed
Crochet bucket hat - haven’t started yet
Golden rod wrap top - Knitpicks Galileo in Meteor, on the front panel approx. 2 rows done on both left and right sides
Annie Bucket Hat - I got some yarn for free - 3 skeins of Lions Brand “go for Faux” in the color Mink (pastel pink and charcoal). Getting the actual hat started took a couple of tries due to the magic circle and the type of yarn. Very hard to see the stitches ( you can’t) but I’ve been just feeling for them and adding stitch markers every stitch the first round and every other stitch the second round. Had to order new hooks again after I did the swatch with the only hook I had close as it wasn’t close enough haha
FO PAWS
Terri-
Cold Hearts Hat -Ravelry link. I cast this on and finished this between podcasts sort of. I touched on this last time. Used all handspun. Row gague was a tiny bit off but I just shortened the crown a bit. Needs some blocking, but looks great! The colorwork was yarn I spun from a bat I made of mixed wools, corriedale, sari silk, etc. The main color was spun from a bat from Leaf Livestock.
Libby: none ya girl has not had time for finishing projects
From Fluff to Stuff-
I have spun up MOST of my Mellyknits guts and they have been quite lovely. One was Alpaca/north country cheviot and the other is a clun florest/silk. I have one more That is Observatory Hills corriedale (I LOVE their Corriedale) and some yak to card up yet.
I acquired fleeces when we went to Shepherd’s Harvest over Mother’s Day weekend
Ooh Shiny!
Terri-
The Human Hat -Ravelry Link- WIll be casting this one when the yarn arrives. Needed a couple colors. Gonna cast on now that I got my minis.
Still pining for some cotton/linen/wool blend yarns. Looking at trying Undine DK from Ritual Dyes, Sandnes Garn Line, and Linen Quill from Purl Soho for some projects. I
Libby: Tried to start a dino and it was tough with the pattern as there is no hook size so I need to play around with them.
SURPRISE OOH SHINY
Leisure Suit-
Terri- Finished Andor, want to watch it again. It was SO GOOD. SO GOOD.
Watched MOBLAND, in like 3 sittings. Definite binge watch. Tom Hardy, Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan Joanne Frogatt (downton abbey:Anna)
Libby:
I’m watching MadMen - on season 3 - haven’t watched much since I got back but slowly working my way through. I think I’m on mid season now
Almost finished with our yearly TPB rewatch - on season 10
Jersey shore rewatch on season 5 now
We rewatched Andor s1 so we can go into season 2 remembering everything - we will probably need to start after EF
Rewatching Naruto! We are on season 4 or 5 of the original series I think - the part where Tsunade is told she has been chosen as Hokage
Catnip-
Terri-My garden! It’s coming together and we’ve expanded. It’s definitely looking pretty lovely. I continue to try and rid ourselves of the lawn.
Libby: Couple weekends at home have been nice - we went to a show the weekend I worked. First june weekend all our friends were gone so we went to a car show Saturday on State Street - stopped by a vintage store and Cane’s. Sunday I pretty much hung out at home playing sims. Last weekend we helped a friend move so that wasn’t super relaxing but we also went to a bonfire - I stayed inside watching Love Island with my girl Jess
The Fluff-
Terri-Nothing too exciting here. Cats are doing well.
Libby- Penny had some major tummy troubles about a week after we got back and had to go to the vet - they couldn’t find anything but she had a small course of treatment and is doing MUCH better now and is mostly back to normal. They did let us know they thought we should do some bloodwork on her just to be sure it’s not an underlying condition causing the issue so we will be doing that once we get back

Episode 31: The Epic Return
Litterbox
We are still here.
Terri: I got sick, Libby’s computer broke…like what is it with computers this year? I’ve been going through it due to a family issue.
Libby: Yep my computer broke almost immediately after we got through my busy time and had some time to record lol. Finally got a new one and got it all setup and then we entered my 2nd busiest time. Hopefully I will have some time now that it’s calmed down a bit
PAWS
Terri:
Aimee Cardigan- Joji Locatelli (ravelry)All of my partial skeins of Malabrigo Arroyo…well most of them will be popped into this. I hit gauge exactly on my swatch. Doing as a tiny KAL with some people in a group for flannelandpurls. I am about 7 inches into the body
DRK Everyday cardigan- using Fiber company Lore in the colorway Healer. I’m about 3 inches into the body
My Favorite Vanilla Socks-MCN dyed by a friend of mine over a decade ago in a colorway called Prep School-carmel brown to a darker reddish brown, reds, blues, greens. Prep school is pretty accurate.
Libby:
Colorblock Bag - stashed
Wizard Hat by Morale Fiber - stashed for now
Crochet bucket hat - haven’t started yet
Golden rod wrap top - Knitpicks Galileo in Meteor, Back panel is done - I did not finish before Infrasound because I’ve been running into issues on the front. I’ve done it like 3-4 times and I can’t tell if it’s my counting or the pattern sizing - I did see some comments on this somewhere, so I may just start the other side of the front panel and do them together row by row just making sure I do the same thing on both sides.
Annie Bucket Hat - I got some yarn for free - 3 skeins of Lions Brand “go for Faux” in the color Mink (pastel pink and charcoal). So I’m going to make this hat - I forgot to bring it this weekend to work on but I started a swatch for it and will be making it
FO PAWS

Libby: none ya girl has not had time for finishing projects
From Fluff to Stuff-
I have spun up MOST of my Mellyknits guts and they have been quite lovely. One was Alpaca/north country cheviot and the other is a clun florest/silk. I have one more That is Observatory Hills corriedale (I LOVE their Corriedale) and some yak to card up yet.
I acquired fleeces when we went to Shepherd’s Harvest over Mother’s Day weekend
Ooh Shiny!
Terri- Harlow Flip (ravelry). EIther looking at some handspun to knit this or a combo of handspun and my Spincycle that I picked up in Chicago last year.
Looking for a delicious sport weight/DK linen cotton or linen wool yarn. So, if anyone has some suggestions. Let me know. I’ve barely used any. I think I have one sweater in Lindy Chain from Knit Picks. It was ok. A bit splitty but I just switched to blunt tip wood needles and that seemed to work fine.
Libby: These dino nuggets by Okey dokey crochet - I MUST make some of these with all the extra/leftover blanket yarns I have. Brought the materials to make one this weekend.

Restarted our yearly trailer park boys watch
Started Jersey shore again lol
Basketball lol
Catnip-
Terri-We went to Shepherd’s harvest over Mother’s Day Weekend. It was really fun. Smaller scale than Wisconsin Sheep and Wool, but really nice. I could have bought so many things. My husband did almost get into an argument when a lady cheated on bidding at the fleece auction. I did get three fleeces though so it’s fine. I also picked up some Ewetopia. I just love everything they do. I also bought my mom a LOVELY handwoven table runner and some wool pellets for her garden and pots.
Libby: Infrasound!!!! I’ll talk about this
The Fluff-
Terri-Everyone is great, but I can’t get Nandor to poop in a box. I’ve tried one method. Looking into some other things to try. So, I just clean up after him constantly. I love him to bits so whatever. lol
Libby- Penny’s been having some issues with her hips and we may have to go back to the vet. She’s always had hip dysplasia but she’s turning 5 this year and I think it’s bothering her a bit more. We brought her with us this time.

Episode 29: Play it Where it Lies
Litterbox
Terri:I’m choosing a topic this time: Favorite thing in your craft that you learned or did last year. Could be favorite project, could be favorite technique…anything. Also, least favorite I’ll add mine when I decide.
Favorite: Learning to wash fleeces. I was really intimidated by it. But, I love it. There’s something so interesting about it. I am starting to card up and spin some of the fleece I washed and it’s kind of amazing to me that I will be able to see things through almost the whole process.
My least favorite thing: I don’t really have one. Maybe not making Shepherd’s Harvest a priority and missing it.
Libby: Hmmm favorite thing - I would say either my hat I just did as I loved working with different textures of yarn and learning new stitches.
Not a ton of time for crafting so far in 2025 as I’ve been working super long days
PAWS
Terri:
The Purl Code (ravelry link)-Using my Leicester Long wool from Jubilee Farms that I got at Wisconsin Sheep and Wool. I’m into the body. Hoping I Have enough. It’s thick and thin and so it’s really hard to figure gauge and yardage.
Juniper Cowl-Toni Lipsey- I haven’t made any progress
My Favorite Vanilla Socks-in the home stretch on sock 1.
Adventurous Wrap-(ravelry link) no progress
Palmistry miits-Stephanie Lotven using my handspun icelandic with the pops of neon that I spun up. Finished one mitt.
Leith Hat: Ysolda Teague. Maybe my favorite hat ever honestly. Whimsical Wood Yarn DK in Smitten Ass colorway
DRK Everyday Cowl- Handspun Greens
Libby:
Colorblock Bag - stashed
Wizard Hat by Morale Fiber - stashed though I may dig this back out and retry after my wrap top gets going
Crochet bucket hat - haven’t started yet
Golden rod wrap top - Knitpicks Galileo in Meteor, just started my swatch - there’s a couple option things in the pattern so I’ll be debating which ones. The hood doesn’t look too hard but maybe its best to start small. There is also an option to choose ties or faux wrap and I THINK I’m going to go with just ties. The optional detailing trim is so cute also so I may attempt it
FO PAWS
Terri-Nothing for me
Libby:
Cat Sith Beanie - Earth Tricks - I am IN LOVE with my hat. It is all finished up, I may lightly block it just to make it a little more slouchy/etc. But it is so cute I want to make another with different yarns. She has a ton of other cute patterns that are similar so I may try one of those as well. Maybe make something matching too.
From Fluff to Stuff- I took a good chunk of time and reorganized my work space. I now have a pretty good dyeing set up. And my work space where I spin, prep fiber, and card (someday sew) is in pretty good shape. I now have ALL of my stash in one place.
I spun some gorgeous BFL dyed by grittyknits in fluorescent green and yellow. It is just gorgeous.
I also am still spinning up my mimikyu batt for my pokemon replendence shawl
Ooh Shiny!
Terri-
Through Flannel and Purls I found out about a fiber artist called Mellyknits some time ago. I’m currently stalking her shop update on January 26. Also Wafa is back in January and will be the weekend of the 24th through the 26th.
I may…have gotten some Montadale from the Frivolous Ewe. I’m so excited to play with it!
Libby:
There’s not a ton catching my eye as I’ve been off social media lately a bit more and working a lot. I have been watching some videos about felting so I may try and start one of my kits soon.
Leisure Suit-
Terri- We rewatched season 1 of Severence in preparation for Season 2 this Friday. Steve and I LOVE this show. The acting is amazing. It has Adam Scott from Parks and Rec (and many other things) as the main character. It also has Brit Lower, Patricia Arquette, John Tuturro, Christopher Walken. All the acting is superb. It’s Directed and produced by Ben Stiller who I am normally not a huge fan of. But, this is great.
Libby: Haven’t watched any more of the crown yet still I need to get back to it
I’m on like season 6 of shameless - this is about usually where I start to fall off so we’ll see
FINISHED rings of power OMG
Started the aaron rodgers doc with Brian lol it’s okay
I’ve been reading a lot - on the final ACOTAR book that’s out & I’ve also been playing stardew with my brother
Catnip-
Terri-I got a walking pad and I’m enjoying it.
Libby: I got off work on time today for once lol. Also I had a lovely weekend in Minneapolis the weekend after NYE
The Fluff-
Terri-Kitties are doing well, but Steve moved his stuff around in his room and now one of his walls has a reflection of some lights in a way that Bowie finds fascinating and will stare at for hours.
Libby- Penny is being Penny of course haha. She has been laying up against our heating vents which is hilarious

Terri: I did get a cat for Christmas
Libby: Lots of fun things going on except I had to work during christmas week so that wasn’t that fun but now I’m on day 1 of 5 that I have off.
PAWS
Terri:
The Purl Code (ravelry link)-Using my Leicester Long wool from Jubilee Farms that I got at Wisconsin Sheep and Wool. It’s a variegated yarn so I thought this would be a fun pattern for that sort of coloring.
Juniper Cowl-Toni Lipsey- I haven’t made any progress
My Favorite Vanilla Socks-in the home stretch on sock 1.
Adventurous Wrap-(ravelry link) no progress
Palmistry miits-Stephanie Lotven using my handspun icelandic with the pops of neon that I spun up. Finished one mitt.
Libby:
Colorblock Bag - stashed
Wizard Hat by Morale Fiber - stashed
Crochet bucket hat - haven’t started yet
Golden rod wrap top - Knitpicks Galileo in Meteor, very deep lovely green in person, it showed up last week and I was hoping to start it but I haven’t done a ton of crocheting.
Cat Sith Beanie - I am almost to the end of this one. I’m debating adding another row or two before starting the ribbing just based on how it’s sitting on my head currently and based on how I like my hats to fit. The ribbing is like an inch thick so I think that will be perfect. I need to redo the decorative fluffy row that is crocheted on top of a row as some of it pulled out because it is hard to see if you’re getting things in the right spot on that yarn. Hope to finish this week and then I’ll start my top and maybe start an amigurumi or something small.
FO PAWS
Ilya Sweater- Caitlin Hunter -Finished.
Big Dice Energy Hat Ravelry Link Malabrigo Arroyo Prussia Blue and Neon Green that I hand dyed.
Libby: Nothing for me!
From Fluff to Stuff- I’ve been taking some time over my holiday to work on prepping some corriedale for carding that I got at Wisconsin Sheep and wool.
Been continuing on with carding and spinning up yarns for my Resplendence Shawl. This week I finished spinning and plying up Charmander and carded up Squirtle. Squirtle is quite gorgeous and a wonderful spin. I’m using some farm blend from Frivolous Ewe. Some hand dyed Merino Silk. I blended in some more silk and some angelina.
Ooh Shiny!
Terri-
Catknit Pullover-Andrea Rangel I really want to knit this. Fingering weight sweaterz

Also found a skein of yarn on our thrifting adventure this morning. I got a 400 yard sport weight teeswater yarn in greens, peaches/pinks. It’s gorgeous!
Libby: Got some fun presents and found some yarn on our thrifting adventure this morning:
-mushroom felting kit, so now i have 2 lol. Gonna watch some videos this week.

Libby- I haven’t seen much of Penny since she’s at home with Brian. He said she’s pretty salty and annoyed I’m not there so it will be awesome to see her tomorrow. He’s sent me a bunch of pictures of her sleeping on my blankets and stuff.
The cats here have finally warmed up again though! Max (bubba) has been a really sweet boy and likes laying in my stuff. Ruthie is always pretty chill with me. Bowie has been an absolute ham and has been slow blinking and cuddling and all.

From Fluff to Stuff-
I’ve been using my drum carder. I absolutely love it. I decided to start spinning for a Resplendence Shawl, by Stephen West. So, I’m carding 2 ounce batts to spin up in different colors to make the “waves” of the shawl.I have so far carded Sprigatito, Gengar, Venusaur, and Trubbish. Right now, I’m working on a Charizard and…something pink.
I have been theming my colors after different Pokemon.
So much carding and spinning I’m not really sure where to pick up here.
Ooh Shiny!
Terri-Felting stuff and dyeing stuff. Other than that just random things that pop up in my socials. Nothing in particular but Lionsgate Farm Wafa vendor. This link will take you to their website. You can see the items they have to sale and it links to all their socials including her impressive You Tube page.
Libby: I went to michael’s the other day and they were having a yarn sale so I got 2 skeins of 2 different yarns. The Michael’s we went to had a way better selection than the one near me does. Don’t know what I’m doing with them…probably some sort of amigurummi with the blanket yarn

From Fluff to Stuff
Tour De Fleece. I’m was on the #campwooligan team. I did quite a bit for Tour de Fleece. I did a 500 + yard skein of fingering weight (2 ply) that I spun up from rolags I made from some farm merino from Leaflivestock and some stuff I dyed. It’s gorgeous. Also from Leaflivestock, I spun up a 3 ounce Merino columbia and tencel batt in some lovely grays. I spun up a 4 ounce braid of bfl in very muted but gorgeous colors from Hens and Chicks fiber, I also spun up about 3 ounces of rolags that were Ruthie themed. That turned out quite lovely. I did 4 ounces of rolags from Gritty Knits. THey are wildly colored. I love them. THey are very tweedy and multicolored. I spun up some weird rolags I made (will explain). Last but not least, I spun up some locks! Those are fun!
My husband also bought me a tensioned lazy kate.
Ooh Shiny!
Terri: I thought I would talk about a couple things. FIrstly, our trip to Chicago and the yarn shopping! We made it to two stores the Bloomin’ Spindle and Knit1. Both lovely stores and I loved my acquisitions. I will elaborate and you will as well I’m sure.
Spincycle Yarns- scroll down to see the great things this company offers their employees. Then definitely do some shopping.
Second: Last weekend I went to the Fargo Fiberfest. I found a few things I really liked and picked them up. I will elaborate on that too. This year had much less fiber than last. More yarn. I knew someone who had CVM would be there, but I wanted fiber unfortunately all they brought was yarn and I wasn’t really looking for yarn because I definitely scratched that itch in Chicago.
Libby: Yarn I got from Bloomin’ Spindle and knit1. No idea what I will do with any of these yarns
Farmers daughter - reminisce in Come an get your love 3 skeins Montana and wy ramboulet
Plucky knitter - legacy bulky in happy glamper - shaniko wool
Bought a couple of patterns to get looking at:
Crochet bucket hat - easy design. I spoke about this previously, gonna pick fall colors I think?
Golden rod wrap top - earthtricks, so cute pattern comes with option for sleeves and hood, I may try a non-hooded sleeveless one to start. Not sure on color yet I think i covered this one a LONG LONG time ago.
I also ordered a kit from Earthtricks, comes with an assortment of yarn in fun colors and thicknesses and 1 pattern. I think I chose the Unicorn fluff color (blues/purples) and the pattern I chose was the cat sith beanie
Leisure Suit-
Terri-Midsummer Murders has been put on the back burner. I’m so deep into Criminal Minds. I think it’s because I’m not paying a ton of attention. I’m sometimes reading, and also usually knitting and doing other things.
My Life is Murder has a new season up. I watch that one each time a new episode is uploaded. Also House of Dragon.
Libby:
Olympics
House of Dragon - caught up
Sopranos - 2 episodes left, we’ve been putting it off because Brian doesn’t want it to end
Gbbs - now I’m on the older seasons that are on roku tv
Started the crown, I think I’m at the part where Elizabeth just became queen
Catnip- Chicago! What fun we had. YARN! Vampire Weekend was AMAZING. What a crowd, and lovely venue.
Libby: Chicago, 2 weekends at home.
The Fluff- Terri: The cats are doing well still. Not much here to report again. I missed them when I was away and will miss them next month. I got them some new cat toys like I did last year at the Fargo Fiber Fest.
Libby: Pennys been playing with this bird bell toy lately and is more spoiled than ever.
