Gramma’s Medley Sweater- Tina Tse Knits.I’m about 13 inches into the body. Still in love, but put it aside a bit due to traveling. I picked it back up and discovered I’d made an error. Could have left it (i’ll explain) but didn’t.

Haunted House KAL- Stephanie Lotven-tellybeanknits (instagram) I’ll chit chat about it.

A pumpkin!

Libby:

The Happy Camper- Finished! Will post pics this week. Couldn’t wear it at Wakaan since it was about 90 degrees everyday, but it’s very cute.

Rustic Pumpkin - HH Stitchery…On my 3rd one but I’ve finished 2. Instead of cinnamon stick stem, I crocheted some up quick.

From Fluff to Stuff -

I have plied the leftover blue merino/sw merino/silk with my rolags that I made to pair with it. It looks gorgeous and matches pretty well with the previous merino, merino, silk I had spun and plied.

I have spun all 8 ounces of my first and second dye experiments in Corriedale. I also spun about 6 of my 8 ounces of my Gritty Knits September colorway.

Fibercats dyepots: I dyed my neon green and black with dark charcoal areas (dubbing this colorway the Void) for my Spooky Boogeyman Cowl and Mitts by Sara Kelly-Grey Owl Knits.

Experimented with a spearmint-ish colorway with speckles. I love it. I may need to dye myself a larger quantity.

Ooh Shiny!

I’m still crushing on Boneyard Sweethearts Sweater by Stephanie Lotven. It’s now also in a sweater pattern and I’m in love.

I also need to talk about yarn shops I visited and how fun it all was.

While in Madison, I stopped at Fiddlesticks Knits and picked up some gorgeous yarn. There was a trunk show for Kraeo.

We missed Sunset Yarns, which looked great, but closed at noon and didn’t reopen until Tuesday after I would already be gone.

We did get over to Verona, WI to check out the Sow’s Ear.

Libby: Got some yarn at Fiddlesticks from Kraeo - Uncle Mulberry worsted (merino wool silk).

Got LOTS of fuzzy yarn at Joann’s. Juicy Couture, Eddie Bauer, etc. for pumpkins.

Leisure Suit-

Terri: Continued and finished the Witcher.

Started Season 1 of The Killing. I rant a bit.

Been watching Brooklyn 99, a bit, too.

Also, my husband and I started Good Omens season 2. Michael Sheen is delightful, David Tennant is delightful. I’m also really enjoying a character played by Nina Sosanya. She played Sister Mary Locquacious in the first season. This season, she plays a coffee shop owner near Aziraphale’s (Sheen’s character) books shop.

Libby:

Finished Schitt’s Creek. I cry everytime

Vampire Diaries - remembering less of the stuff that happens, Season 4 so I think I dropped off somewhere around here.

House Hunters filler

Watched a bunch of love island with Lauren the other day

The Fluff-

Terri: The kitties did not come on the trip. We had a friend checking on them and feeding them their wet food while we were gone.

Libby: Penny loved your visit. She’s been very clingy since you left but we finally have the diffuser back so that’s nice. Loves the treats you bought. Crazy for cheese as always

Episode 13: Feeling Halloween-ish.

Topics today include Litterbox, PAWS, From Fluff to Stuff, Fibercats Dyepots, Ooh Shiny!, Leisure Suit, Catnip, and the Fluff.

 

Litterbox

Terri: It’s my anniversary on the 21st. My husband and I will have 4 years under our belts. Seems longer. Nothing against my husband lol. But during the first year of our marriage the pandemic started.

 

Libby: Getting ready for Wakaan festival. Been a really busy, but mostly good month. It's FALL!!!!

 

PAWS

Terri:

Gramps Cardigan- Kate Oates- I did a couple rows

Mystic Square-by James Watts - nope

Butterfly Wing Shawl- still plugging away. Nothing much to report on this.

Gramma’s Medley Sweater- Tina Tse Knits. Mostly been knitting this. I’m about 10 inches into the body. Loving it so far. It’s so far out of my normal color range, but I love it. 

Boneyard Sweethearts (Ravelry Link)-Stephanie Lotven-Originally in my Oooh Shiny. I couldn’t wait. I cast this one on. I am using a random hot pink for the band and pom pom. The body will be Knit Picks Stroll tonal in possibly Orbit and natural. Not really sure lol. 

 

Libby:

Colorblock Bag by Dabbles and Babbles - Did a couple rows before all my traveling this month.

The Happy Camper- SO CLOSE. Just have the cord left, which I am going to finish before we leave Tuesday (probably tonight), so that I can wear it. It is gorgeous - decided to make it a little bigger than the pattern is, due to my gauge, yarn, etc. Wanted it a little bigger on my head. The color of yarn I used turned out so beautiful (Lollipop - Knitpicks Chroma)

Dino- Shelved

Pumpkins - shelved until I’m back from Wakaan - I got a migraine the weekend I was going to go to Joann’s to get supplies

 

FO PAWS

Terri: Random Hat-no pattern, cast on in one of my earliest handspun yarns. The handspun is a combo of two strands. One is a gray shetland and the other is made out of a bunch of rolags. It was really loosely plied, but worked well. It’s a cozy hat. Knit 88 sts 2x4 ribbing. Then sized up my needle and did a quick decrease at the top.

 

From Fluff to Stuff -

I plied my Barbie pink that I spun from rolags. I adore it. I finished the full 8 ounces of the blue merino/silk

Fibercats dyepots: I have dyed up some more colors for my Halloweenish project. I dyed up a bright orange and a charcoal gray, then did a bright yellow. I  will post this week some of my greens that I have been playing with. 

 

Ooh Shiny! 

Halloweeny things!

Boneyard Sweethearts (Ravelry Link)-Stephanie Lotven

Autumn Doodle Cowl-Pacific Knit Co

Let’s Boogie-Katie Franchesci

Spooky Boogeyman Cowl and Mitts (RAVELRY LINKS)-Sarah Kelley Love these so much. I’m going to dye up some yarn. It’s the reason I was playing with greens.

Wool and Fiber arts Community on Facebook.

Haunted House KAL- Stephanie Lotven-tellybeanknits (instagram) I remembered the KAL info!

 

Libby: My ooh shiny this week is a little all over the place. Loving seeing all the Halloween patterns and fall patterns. Definitely getting ideas for next year too, so I can start things earlier and have them ready for fall.

Ghosts Wearing Hats - AQCrochets on insta, patterns on etsy. There is a low sew and no sew version, each with different hats for the ghosts

Lumpy Space Princess - Crochet by Val, Amigirumi.mind on insta, couple places to get the pattern in the links. Also has teletubbies and sully from Monsters Inc.

 

Yarn: The discreet Unicorn - hand dyed yarn and fiber. GORGEOUS colors, lots of bright colors and pastels. Very unicorn like

 

Leisure Suit-

Terri: Finished Breaking Bad. I covered a lot of ground on this since the last podcast. There was a period of time where Skylar was really going through it. Talk about final thoughts.

 

Started rewatching Charmed. That’s a trip. I vaguely remember the story lines. 

Also started rewatching Brooklyn 99. I needed a laugh last night. So, there it is. I only got through 2 episodes. 

The Witcher- Watching with my husband. It’s ok but I’m not as into it as I was in the first and second series…not sure. 

 

Libby: Watching through Vampire Diaries. It’s actually a lot better than I remember. I’m on like season 3, I don’t know that I ever actually finished the show.

 

Watching Schitt’s Creek again. Brian said he forgot how funny it was. Absolutely one of my favorite shows.

 

Catnip-

Terri: Just had my 4th anniversary with my husband on Thursday. 

For my anniversary present I got the Hocus Pocus Lego kit. LOVE it. I had been drooling over it. I was completely surprised. 

 

Libby: Went to Infrasound Equinox with a bunch of friends in Minnesota - had a great weekend. Celebrated my birthday a little. Got home and went straight on a work trip, which was exhausting, but I got to see one of my best friends so it was well worth it.

 

The Fluff-

Terri: I bought my cats a donut. Bowie and Ruthie really like it. I throw a ball in there when they are in the mood to play and they just roll around in it and chase the ball. It’s really cute. We also bought them automatic dry feeders in hopes that the weekend morning will go easier and for when we go Wisconsin it will make things easier for our cat sitter. 

 

Libby: Penny has been a menace without her diffuser, as we left it in ND. Brian had to watch her while I was out of town and she did not love it. She hardly lets me out of her sight right now. Kinda sad to leave her but I know she’s in good hands and will love the visit from mom, Steve and Cillian. I’m thinking about getting a camera, so I can check on her too and ease some of my separation anxiety LOL
