Notes
- Thank-Yous
- MartaShmarta (aka Marta) sent Greg a package full of preemie hats and outfits. He’s going to donate them Family Support Network of Central Carolina and the Women’s Hospital of Greensboro.
- Projects
- Joey describes a hand injury that has kept him from making good progress on his fiber projects.
- Joey has been swatching in Tunisian Crochet. He is being mightily encouraged by Twinset Ellen of the Twinset Designs podcast.
- Greg finished his Halcyarn Socks (project page). He loves the contrasting cuffs, toes, and heels in black, but he hates weaving in the ends with black yarn. Yarn is custom-dyed by Dr. Kelly from the Ewe University podcast.
- Greg is working on the Old Shale Shawl (project page) with yarn from Knitcrate. It’s super lacy and he’s excited about it.
- Greg is working on a pair of Allons-y Socks (project page) with yarn from Knitcircus. The gradient yarn from Knitcircus is awesome to work with. In order to use the entirety of the gradient, he is knitting these socks toe-up. He’s using a 9″ circular needle for this sock and loving it.
- Greg is working on the Emelyn Mae Shawl (project page) by Jennifer Lassonde. He’s really enjoying the side-to-side construction of this shawl, as well as the mock i-cord edging.
