Episode 12 - Feelin' On My Socks





Episode 12! Next week I'll be a teenager. Sorry for all the bumping noises in the background. I'm at my teeny tiny kitchen table and things are crowded. Hopefully next week won't be rainy and dark so I can record in the living room again.

Episode 10 - Let's Go! Podcaster Challenge





Woot! I'm so excited about the Podcaster Challenge!

Announcements

Podcaster Challenge! Check out the board on Ravelry.

Knit along with me! My pattern is Lina by Johanna of Joko Knits. I'm using 4.5 mm needles instead of 4.0, and adding two repeats before starting the decreases. Hopefully this will give me a hat with a bit of slouch.

It's also time to start your mother bears!

My Podcaster Challenge episodes will be September 5, 12 and 19. You have until midnight on September 27 to post a photo of your finished Lina hat. Then you'll be entered in a giveaway to be the first to use my hand dyed yarn!

My etsy yarn shop will open on October 1!

I'm participating in Katie's Click for Babies KAL. Check out clickforbabies.org and the Knittin' on the Fly Ravelry group for more information.
