Episode 22 Podcast Show Notes

Hi there! I'm baaacccckkkkk;)!

In the podcast I mentioned:

Joanna (aka OperaJo) from the Stitching the High Notes podcast

Bernat dishcloth pattern: Basic Knit Dishcloth

Gorgeous draw string sock bag with cups of cocoa material by Lynne from her SunshineandBubblegum Etsy shop. Check out her Sunshine and Bubblegum podcast too!

Kayleen from the LittleBeanCrochet shop on Etsy collaborated with Lynne to create this beautiful bag and yarn set (yarn not shown) around Christmas 2016 time frame. Stay tuned to both of them for future collaborations!

WIPs:

Brattleboro Hat by Melissa LaBarre found in the New England Knits book in collaboration with Cecily Glowick MacDonald. Great book of patterns!

Yarn used for the Brattleboro Hat is from Sweet Fiber yarns from British Columbia, Canada. This is their merino DK in the Spanish Coin colour way.

Mentioned wanting a sweater's quantify of Sweet Fiber yarn in the Spanish Coin colour way for the Middlefield Pullover by Melissa LaBarre in the same New England Knits book above.

Next WIP in my Molly Klein Designs sweater sized bag.

Madewell Cardigan by Joji Locatelli. Gorgeous pattern but I'm ruining it!

Using Smith & Ewe yarn from Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada in her Borealis colour way on Maryanne's Socks base.

Showed off my Close to You shawl by Lete's Knits (free pattern).

I ordered from more skeins of the same colour way as in my Close to You shawl from Strand Designs Ireland in the Wild Atlantic colour way. LOVE them! One to knit for a friend and one to use as an eventual podcast give away.

The beautiful project bag also came from Strand Designs as did the progress keeper and stitch markers.

Cross stitch kit 'Believe' designed by Mary Engelbreit found via Ebay.

This week's footage from Cape Spear, NL, the most Easterly point in North America.

But, with the camera cutting out all the time, I forgot to mention mine and Barbara's (from Knitting I love Podcast) Crafty Spring MAL on until the end of May 2017! Follow our threads in Ravelry for details and to join and post your projects.
