What’s in Our Cup
Diana has some Canadian rye, of the Gibson’s Rare variety. Jocelyn has White Angel from Tea Desire in Saskatchewan.
Woolly Workings
Jocelyn:
- #acrosstheprairiesKAL (Exploration Station by Stephen West) out of Dye for Ewe in Now That Was a Campfire and Spring in Your Step, and Knitting Wolf Luxury Yarns in Eleganza Extravaganza and Violet Drag Wolf
- A test knit of her own shawl design (Northern Plains, coming soon!) out of Midknit Cravings in Beach Glass and Geode
- Sort of Half Circle Shawl by PurpleIguana out of a Caron Big Cake in Grape Jelly
- Natsu Scarf – basic double crochet scarf in Red Heart Soft White and Black
Diana:
- Wedding Shawl by Susan Pandorf out of Forever Yarn 100% Lamb’s Wool and stitch markers from String Bling (cari_b22[AT]yahoo[DOT]ca)
- June Socks (Les Chausettes de la Schtroumpfette by Elise Dupont but still with a Fish Lips Kiss Heel) out of Midknit Cravings Curtain Call and Cinema
Fibre Flubs
Diana had another pesky extra stitch in her Wedding Shawl. Pretty much par for the course at this point.
Jocelyn misread her own pattern and has to frog a good chunk of her Northern Plains Shawl.
Yarn on the Go
Jocelyn got a new-to-her Ashford Traditional spinning wheel lovingly refurbished by Lori of HomeSpun Tools.
Sew Little Time
Jocelyn continues work on the cosplay coats. The deadline is fast approaching!
Wool Gathering
Diana painted a thing at a Paint Nite and it came out not bad.
