Episode 5 - Trailing of the Sheep


Out and About
I attended my first fiber festival ever - The Trailing of the Sheep in beautiful Sun Valley, Idaho.  I truly enjoyed every thing we did.  I found a great blogger and a kindred spirit in Junelle.  We ate lots of great lamb dishes, learned much about wool, and I bought my first drop spindle!  Practice makes perfect, right?

Off My Needles:

Cambrian Cowl from Coastal Knits

Vanilla Socks are done - even though technically I knit 5 socks to get this pair :\

On My Needles - 

Socks on a Farm by Lala of the Knitgirlls
Low Tide Cardigan otherwise known as Hawaii 2013 on my Ravelry project page.
Robin Hood Hat KAL with Mel from Singlehanded Knits.
Rotation by Cookie A

Tangles and Knots:
Ugh.  Andrea's Wispy Cardi is in time out.
The aforementioned vanilla socks gave me plenty of headache but they are done!

New segment:  You know your a knitter when......

On the Farm:
Chicken house has been winterized.  We lost another chicken in the horse trough.  Any ideas how to remedy this?
Sheep are easy keepers.  Seriously.

Technique:  A new and improved way of doing a simple SSK.

My Favorite Things:  Reading glasses from the Target dollar bin.  Yay!!!

In My Sewing Studio:  I'm creating some project bags for my knitting and having a blast doing it.  Here is my first prototype:

  1. I'm enjoying your podcast. What a pretty bag. Is your drawstring coming out of the inside? I would like to try to make another drawstring bag but I can't decide how I want the drawstring.
