I'm back from vacation and have a lot to show for it!
What I've Finished:
Jill added little pompoms onto the ties of her Lillebrors vintersko by Heidi Petterson out of Anny Blatt Merinos DK and called them good! The pompoms match her completed Conifer Cardigan from last episode. Her Rav page here.
My Current Fix:
Jill is still working on Sizzle Pop by Lesley Anne Robinson out of Hula Hut Tiki Sock in Huckleberry Chuckle and Midnight. Her Rav page here. She started Tiong Bahru by Asa Tricosa as her sister's wedding shawl. She is using Blue Moon Fiber Arts Marine Silk Laceweight in Every Day Grey. She cast-on True Friend by Veera Valimaki out of Dream in Color Jilly in Brilliant, and Tosh Merino Light in Silver Fox right before leaving on vacation and then never worked on it.
She is spinning some Mork Made Fiber Co batts and will make several small two-ply skeins. Jill got quite a lot of it done at the LA Zoo sheep shearing day, demonstrating on behalf of the Greater Los Angeles Spinning Guild.
What I'm Jonesing For:
Jill really likes the Noten pullover by Ankestrick. She has also queued Inkwell by Alice Caetano from Amirisu Winter 2018.
Re-Ups:
At Walnut Tokyo, Jill bought the aforementioned Amirisu magazine, and two balls of DARUMA Genmou yarn in colors 14 & 17.
At Okadaya, Jill got the trikotri book on making pompoms that look like cat heads. She also got a sashiko placemat kit, an Anchor embroidered bag kit, several skeins of Hamanaka Korpokkur solid sock yarn and a skein of Opal sock yarn in Cake Pops. She also got a few meters of fabric.
At Tokyu Hands, Jill bought lots of stationery and kits for making tiny leather shoes.
At Tomato, the fabric store in Nippori Fabric Town, she got lots of med-weight cotton fabric.
On the LA County Yarn Crawl, she also went a little crazy.
At Creative Ewe Studio, Jill got two skeins of Malabrigo Arroyo in Lavanda.
At Wildfiber, Jill got Blue Sky Woolstok in Thermal Spring and Pompom Quarterly Autumn 2017. A few weeks earlier she ran into Lizzie there, and also got a skein of Malabrico Mechita in Aureo.
At Compatto Yarn Salon, Jill got a skein of Baah! La Jolla in Venom.
At Make One Yarn Company, Jill got a skein of Spun Right Round SW 80/20 in Combat Boots & Baby Doll Dresses
At Wollhaus, Jill got a 150gm skein of Woolstok in Midnight Sea, and a crawl totebag.
At Altered Stitch, Jill bought a skein of Havirland Pax Sock in Convo Hearts.
