Episode 28: It’s Been a Reasonable Amount of TIme Since the Last Episode

 

Litterbox

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- 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.
