The Epic Return

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

DRK Everyday Cowl- Handspun Greens Coming along. I do a bit here and there. Just need to do Icord bind off. Might finish.(ravelry)

 

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.

Leisure Suit-

 

Terri- I started watching Bosch and I am currently watching Bosch legacy.

My husband and I are watching Andor.

 

Libby: Finished WWITS and immediately rewatched

 

I’m watching MadMen - on season 3. The first few seasons are SOOOO GOOOD

 

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.
