Episode 26

Taped on a beautiful sunny day from my front deck (bridge we call it here;)!):

Showed off the beautiful socks that Victoria, my pen pal who is from the Victoria Knits podcast, knit for me using the Hermoine's Everyday Socks pattern on Ravelry (free pattern download).

HO alert! Showed off the first of a pair of shortie socks that I'm knitting for my pen pal friend Victoria in Patons Kroy (toes, heel and cuff) in the Sherbet colour way and using H'Ewe Phoria yarn from Ontario, Canada.

Showed off SS's sock cards from Krityum Handmade.

SS also gave a copy of her newest pattern - the Tircha Shawl Recipe on Ravelry - to my podcast viewers. Go to Ravelry under the Tircha Shawl pattern giveaway thread under the Four Boys and a NL Girl Podcast group to enter your chance to win a copy of this lovely pattern! This pattern is also currently ON SALE until September 20, 2017 for 25% off in case you want to gift it to a friend!

I talked about two new to me podcasts that I've been enjoying: Dag from the Dag Byrd (Ziawoolz) podcast and Kay and Tom Jones from The Bakery Bears podcast.

And, last but not least, I talked a bit about my new Etsy shop where I now sell cross stitch kits and digital patterns inspired by the landscape and architecture of Newfoundland and Labrador!

Podcast Episode 25

The end of our summer holidays and the first week of school!

No FO's! Boo...!

WIPS:

Easy Garter Stitch 4 Patch Baby Blanket - free pattern on Ravelry. Knitting using two Caron Cakes in  Rainbow Sherbet 17023 and Faerie Cake 17010 using vintage 6 mm needles.

Talked about my pen pal Victoria from the Victoria Knits podcast. Go check her podcast out! She is so sweet!

The pen pal group is hosted by Paws 4 Stitches, Candy, and Jenny from Lucky Jenny Knits. Both of these lovely ladies host podcasts by those names so be sure to check them out too though it's too late to sign up for the pen pal program.

I showed off my progress on my shortie socks for my pen pal using Patons Kroy in Sherbet (toes, heels and cuffs) and using H'Ewe Phoria yarn, a Canadian indie dyed yarn  (Rhonda Kellett on Instagram) in the colour way 'Hot Diggity.'

Showed off my Molly Klein Designs bag where my Madewell Cardigan, paid pattern by Joji Locatelli, is housed. I'm using Smith and Ewe yarn in the Borealis colour way using two different dye lots.

Stash Enhancement:

I showed off four gorgeous skeins of yarn from the lovely Yarn Enabler, Amanda. The first two skeins are in the colour way 'Northern Lights' on her sparkle base. The next skein and mini is her 'Not Your Mother's Sock Monkey' set. The final skein of yarn was a gift from Amanda (that I'm going to keep. Bad Patty!) in the colour way 'Fall Into It' which is a new colour way for her. It might be available at the Kitchener-Waterloo Fibrefest coming up this weekend.

Now, lets see when Youtube will upload this episode! Overnight I hope!

Chat soon!
