In this episode, we’ve got some knitting, some spinning, a little tale about how this mess got started and I am all spun up about festival season.

Updates

Itty bitty is now a high school graduate. I no longer have a school aged child living in my household. We celebrated and had lots of family in town for the event and it was fantastic

Springtime in the Rockies hit us in full force

Hear me reminisce about how the podcast got started and who were my biggest influencers.

Even though there has been a ton going on in my life, I have managed to get a little crafting done each day.

Knitting

I am still working on My Blue Heaven. It is a chevron shawl out of a Gradiant set I got from The 100th Sheep.
I Started another pair of self-striping socks. The yarn I am using is Ty Dy Sock by Knit One Crochet Two.
I set both of those down to work on another super duper top secret project. I am knitting with a lovely yarn from Colorful Eclectic.
I am thinking about doing another Flashback Sock Knit-along. I may elicit your help in deciding on a pattern.

Spinning

I have spun pretty regularly on the Dreaded Fleece but didn't get much further than that.
I also started a new spinning project on my Hanson Minispinner. I needed something bright and shiny to combat the weather. I started a beautiful red, orange and yellow merino and tussah silk from DaizieKnits. Love it.
I found a lovely cosmetic case that is perfect for carrying my mini spinner. It is from: TriForce

I am all spun up about travel season. Hear about my trip to Maryland Sheep and Wool, and my plans for Estes Park Wool Market.

Over the next few weeks you will see some changes my website. Stand by. They are coming along.
