In this episode, the girls chat about what they might maybe knit this summer. Danie has herself one very well-dressed can, and Susie goes all Regina George on a project.

Listen here.

Check out Stash Dash 2015, the Around Your Neck KAL, and the PalKal!

Miscellaneous mentions include indie dyer Fistful of Fiber, White Sandy Beach Socks, Susie’s Conwy socks, the ACTually KNITting podcast, Susie’s Bonnie’s Wish, and patterns Dinner in the Eiffel Tower, High Desert, Peekaboo, Honeybee Cardigan, Rattan Shawl, Loie, and Occitan.

Finished Projects

Danie identified her need for a well-dressed bottle of beer (and/or can of pop) and so she whipped up a coozy out of One Twisted Tree BFL Prime in One Twisted Summer.

Susie finished her 3×1 Ribbed Socks. They are brown and ribbed, and not very exciting. Her current stash dash total is 2531 yds out of 5468.

Current Projects

Susie started a pair of Business Casual socks out of her One Twisted Tree Prime in Disco Lemonade. Unfortunately they are a little tighter-fitting than she likes, so she is going to frog the little bit she has and knit the Whiz Bang pattern instead. She also cast on Imagine When using Yarn Geek Fibers Rocketeer in Cloud Smiles.

Danie added a square to her Stained Glass Sock Blanket, and finished the first sleeve on her Mama Vertebrae. She also cast on Sugared Violets using One Twisted Tree BFL Prime in Knight Bus Escape.

In this episode, the girls chat about their wild and woolly weekend!

Listen here.

Check out Stash Dash 2015 and the Around Your Neck KAL!

Finished Projects

Susie finished her Dragonflies Jumper and everything about it is perfect – fit, color, everything! She also finished her Mother’s Day Cast-On 2015 project, her Birthstone Color Affection, and it didn’t turn out too twee at all. In fact, she loves it. Her current stash dash total is 2114 yds out of 5468.

Current Projects

Danie knit on her Mama Vertebrae, and after a slight hiccup on the sleeves, she’s making good progress. She also worked on her Stained Glass Sock Blanket.

Susie worked on her 3×1 Ribbed Socks and is closing in on the toe on the second one. She worked a little bit on her Fork in the Road Socks and her Aranami Shawl. She is in the midst of a son of a stitch with her Bonnie’s Wish in the form of not having enough yarn.

Enhance the Stash

Susie brought home with her yarn from Yarn Geek Fibers – a Rocketeer 5 Pack in The 8th Dimension and a single skein of Rocketeer in Cloud Smiles. She also picked up two skeins from Fiber Curio and Sundries.
