Knitting On The Run

Ep 99 recorded 11/19/21

Segments this week include: Housekeeping, FOs, Wips, Stash, Out and About, and I’ve Got Sunshine. A note on showlinks – all links to Ravelry are clearly labelled as such and all links for yarn are directly to the dyer’s website.

Housekeeping

Still looking for testknitters! I have a sleeveless top test knit. It knits up FAST as it’s a DK gauge. I’m looking for some testknitters to use 2 fingering weight yarns held double and some to use 1 strand of DK that gets gauge. I will be starting up a few testknits soon, all for sleeveless tops. Visit https://www.yarnpond.com/pattern_tests/2615 to learn more and sign up to test knit.

If you’re interested in future test knits please join my test knitter mailing list at http://www.windsweptknits.com/testknitters/ - if on this list you will only get emails related to test knitting, nothing else. I’ll be having 3 or 4 test knits starting up in the next few months with yarn ranging from fingering to DK and I’d love to have you join.

WIPs

Three new pattern samples, can’t talk about them yet.

Recalibrate Top by Shana Lines using Nomad Yarn’s hand dyed cotton/rayon Gelato yarn. I’m nearing the top of the front panel in the yellow Gelato.

Star Wars scarf for Thing 2 – I’m over halfway! I’m nearly done with the Death Star! Unfortunately I’m falling behind a bit on this one, so I need to work on it more each day after taking most of the last week off.

Knights who say Knit by LyricalKnits aka Mary Annarella. On section 2 or 3 of Clue 4, the last clue. I really love how this shawl is turning out and I can’t wait to finish it.

Knitting Fail

I had two this week. I just wish I’d thought of it 6 inches and one cast on ago.

Wearables

the Priestess Coat stitched Rhinebeck– by Morale Fiber in Lion Brand Shawl in a Ball.

the Line Where the Sky Meets the Sea (Ravelry) and Send Me That Horizon (Ravelry) shawls really keep my neck warm from my wet hair and that my wet hair doesn’t hurt the yarn at all.

I’ve Got Sunshine

I’ve been doing Instagram Lives every Wednesday at lunch time local to me because I’ve been hearing from so many people that they just feel overwhelmed and like life is swirling about the them. I started it for others, so they could listen or join, or play later that day and stop, and just breath or knit or sip a cup of tea for 2 minutes. But I find that they’re really helping me too. Making myself stop and breath for 2 minutes each Wednesday is super helpful, just letting myself be. If you want to join us, this Wednesday 11/24 it will be at 12pm EST on Instagram come along with me and take 2 minutes for yourself.
