Episode 9: Feeling The Love

Oops!!

I forgot to mention the colorway of the Classic Elite Lush yarn I'm knitting my Victorian Rose scarf from: #4401 or a very pure white ;0)
I also forgot to thank Barb and Tracie of The 2 Knit Lit Chicks podcast for mentioning Knitting Brooklyn and the Remembering Remy KAL in their episode 17 :0)
Just to clarify- our May Incentive Prize for the Remembering Remy KAL will be a soap/lotion set donated by Dawn (knittinwolf) of the Wolfe Farms Podcast.

Introduce Yourself!!

Jennifer, aka shadystroll on ravelry, has a beautiful new, free shawlette pattern called Ka'ana Shawlette. I am deciding whether to buy new yarn for this pattern or to use some Rowan Calmer from my stash.

Kristen, aka Mamaholmes on ravelry, has a new blog for her video podcast Mama Knits.
