Girlfriends Knitting

Since I had so much to talk about, it is close to an hour long instead of the usual 20-30 minutes. Hence the name “Double the Pleasure”. That’s what happens when you don’t record for almost three weeks! Too much to talk about!! Long tail provisional cast on tutorial will also be posted under the Tutorials Tab. Enjoy! Your knitting (and teaching) girlfriend

This week has been consumed with spinning - as evidenced by the four, yes four, spinning FO’s. Go Team Knit Me Sassy!

I am wearing the Summer Flies shawl that Cori (irocknits) made for me for ZK. Here is a link to her pattern page for it.  http://www.ravelry.com/projects/Irocknits/summer-flies-19

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!

Thank you for all the birthday wishes! I had a great day! FO: Lazy-day lace shawl WIP: Getting down and Partying it Up socks, Baby Chalice Blanket, Crochet blanket Campy Loopey - Mt. Loopius team!

Just got back from a trip to see the family for some pre-birthday celebrations. FO: Stripe Study Shawl, Gail (Aka Nightsongs) WIP: Partying it up and Getting Down socks, Game of Thrones MKAL. Thank you’s The Summers at Scaritt-Bennett KAL! See the Desert Vista Dyeworks group for more info!!  purplehayes

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.
