Girlfriends Knitting

I don’t have show notes this week, I was flying by the seat of my pants! Next week is ZK, so I will be making short entries on my trip and posting them when I get back in two weeks. Happy knitting!

The red is from allergies, not drinking, though I definitely think the drinking would be more fun! I am SO unorganized this week, but I have two FO’s and a bittersweet new WIP to show you. I will have better notes, and the cool Ravelry pages in the episode thing, again next time. I am going to discontinue the fitness segment until mid-June. I watched the documentary “Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead” with Joe Cross at the recommendation of  ploverbird  and I found it incredibly inspiring. However, the whole idea of a 60-day juice fast is also very controversial (I am not doing a 60-day fast, just saying!) so I don’t think that what Joe has to say is for everyone. I am going to be trying some of his ideas and I will be documenting my progress on this journey to share with you all at the end. I just don’t want it to be mixed in with the podcast.

Well, it is time to clear out some major inventory in the GFK Etsy Shop. Check out these amazing deals! Some of the stitch marker sets have been discounted as much as 50%! Or maybe you have been eyeing some the newer ring stitch markers. I have several sets in stock for both large and small needles sizes. My current faves are the ones below, it XL!! Or maybe something more unique is up your alley. How about these adorable little gnomes?!?! I think I might have to keep a set for myself! Hurry, I specially ordered these beads, and so there is a very limited supply! Happy Shopping! Your Knitting (and stitch marker making) Girlfriend
