Ep. 43 - Talking About Crap





My Current Fix:
Jill is working on Not Seen Before by Kristina Vilimaite and several other designers have contributed wedge designs.  This pattern is from the Sight is Life ebook.  She is using Koigu KPPPM in 741P and Pagewood Farms Chugiak in a deep blue.  She has also been working on her Sophie's Universe CAL by Dedri Uys in Knit Picks Brava Worsted and her Shark Bite fingerless gloves using the sock pattern by Lara Smoot.
Jill also started a baby yoke sweater from the Heart on My Sleeve ebook by TinCan Knits.  She is using Cascade Ultra Pima and will either make Heartstring or Crazyheart.




What I'm Jonesing For:
Jill's finally bought two sweater patterns by Svetlana Volkova, Aurys and Bloomsbury.  She won the Schmur hat pattern by Sarah Jordan and is looking forward to making it.  She loves two different center out shawl patterns, Fallowed by Bristol Ivy and Epicenter by Josh Ryks.  She also likes the Cowesett Tee by Cassie Castillo in Interweave Knits Spring 2017.

Re-Ups:
Jill bought more Wolle's Color Changing Cotton 100gram skeins in Pink Medley and Icicle Medley at a trunk show at Wildfiber.  She also won a skein of A Hundred Ravens Lustre DK in The Southerly Hunt from the Indie Designer Gift-a-Long.

Ep. 42 - Something Entirely Different


A little bit different this time around!


Finished Projects:
Jill finished a couple pussyhats. The first using the Brooklyn Purl Alley Cat Hat by Claudette Brady in Lamb's Pride Bulky.  Her rav page here.  She also knit a Kettunosin by Anna Maltz out of Filatura di Crosa Zarina doubled, in a light pink and bright pink (rav page here).  She finished her Brunswick shawl by Mindy Wilkes out of Wolle's Color Changing Cotton in Lifesaver Medley. Hers is here. She also finished her first Mother Bear!  It was supposed to be in honor of KnittyBarb from the 2KnitLit Chicks podcast, but she finished way too late. 


My Current Fix:
Jill has been working on her existing projects, including the Shark Bite socks by Lara Smoot.  She had to turn them into mitts!  She's also gone back to her Sophie's Universe crochet blanket by Dedri Uys using Knit Picks Brava Worsted.  Hers is here.

What I'm Jonesing For:
Jill is planning on starting the Not Seen Before MKAL by Kristina Vilimaite and 6 others from the Sight for Life ebook.  She also really likes the Zuni Shawl by Danielle Chelson, Doo Wop by Lisa Hannes and the Rosette Window by Mia Rinde.  She also loves the Springs to Mind hat by Kino Knits from Point/Counterpoint Vol. 2 which is inspired by Susie White's Frondescence shawl (which she also loves!)
