The socks are coming along pretty quickly. I am just about ready to turn the heels. That is my favorite part of sock knitting. Its like magic.

I love knitting blankets and so my Cascade 220 stash has been pulled out again so that I can start the Vivid blanket by Tincan knits. It will be a fantastic summer of stash project. If I can finish this one and the Missoni Inspired blanket be winter we will be a cozy family.

Tour de Fleece is almost here !!! I love watching the Tour de France and am super excited to do some spinning while I watch this year. My goal is to finish these two fibers before then. They are both 2012 stash. You can see I have already divided them up to make them easier to spin and to hopefully fill my bobbins evenly.

A few notes from the episode.

 Spinning: woolgatherings 24 fiber sampler pack I started with the Corriedale.  I have also  finished half the SAL fiber for the KNITABULLS SAL.

Knitting: In June I hope to finish the Dorica Hoodie and the Aislinn cardigan by Amy Herzog.

This very old sock yarn is working its way into a pair of socks. Ginna has decided they might be for her.

Here we are, finally.

Blog episode 1

I took this picture last week of all the active projects I have sitting on my desk. Scary isn't it? So this week I have been trying to focus on just the rainbow hat and the quay sweater. I did do a few rows on the cascade 200 blanket and I did stay on top of the Game of Thrones mystery KAL. My goal is to have that hat done before the podcast goes up. Here is a picture of the mask Ginna has been working on. We will talk about this on the next podcast. You can also here all about our Half and Full Marathon adventure!!

On our test episode we talked about my new favorite book Botanical Knits 'I'm working on the Entangled Vines cardigan. My hat for the Uili project. Isn't it great when your project matches your bag?
