Episode 7: Sometimes Life Gets In The Way
Apologies
So sorry that this episode was delayed! I had some "mommy" business to take care of :0) When I attempted to record late last Thursday night, I spoke for almost 45 minutes only to look down and see that my microphone was off!! It was all just too much to bear, so I decided to delay the recording. Thanks for being understanding!

Off The Needles
Piper's Journey by Paula Emons-Fuessle of The Knitting Pipeline
- Knitting Grrrs....I did SSKs instead SKPs in the applied lace border :0(
Yarn Review
- 100% Acrylic
- I would recommend this yarn for children's knits, charity knitting, gifts for those allergic to natural fibers, and those who would not properly care for knits made from wool.
- No, this yarn is not Madelinetosh or Malabrigo, but for an acrylic yarn- it's very nice!
- Read what other knitters had to say here.
Spinning
Finished spinning up my Shetland fiber from Spin Monkeys.
Next up on the wheel : Some Masham batts from The Sheep's Company.

I have been trying out a short forward draw instead of moving my fiber hand back to draft.

Introduce yourself in the Ravelry group!
Oops!!
Here a some things I want to correct/add!
I forgot to thank Susan of the With Pointed Sticks Podcast for giving me a shout out- Thank you!!
I also wanted to add that the reason you want to cut out half the plys of your yarn when doing a Russian Join is to reduce bulk.
