This week's projects include Traffic Island socks, Hitofude Cardigan, Urbana and 2 pair of vanilla socks. FOs include the Qanik hat and a two color vanilla sock. Featured baubles and bling includes a Della Q needle case and Knitters Pride needles. We're off to Spa this weekend, hope to see you there.
SHOW NOTES
KAL/CAL: Patterns that are underappreciated (less than 30 projects listed).
Shout Outs:
Don't forget to enter the contest for the Snake Tracks sock pattern! We draw winners of that and the monthly KAL/CAL in episode 199.
Check out a new podcast hosted by designer Stephenie Tallent (she designed the amazing Wrought Iron Cardigan I knit a couple of seasons ago!) You can learn more about her audio podcast and what she's doing on her Ravelry Group.
Also: We heard from a little birdie that our friend Lise from Webs could use large, warm shawls for her charity. We aren't doing anything formal, but just wanted to let people know that if you have some gently loved shawls of this description lying around unworn, you could donate them! Check out earlier blog posts or contest threads for her address or PM Wendy to find out how to send them.
