Stitch by Stitch Videocast

Chitty chatty as always, a shout out to 2014 World Series winners the San Francisco Giants (Go Giants!), NaKnitSweMo insanity, and fleece processing. It's a longer episode which means there are some captions (remember my 45 minute rule), so be sure to periodically look at the bottom of the screen for revisions/clarifications/edits. Enjoy!Check out the Raverly Group for current KAL's and SAL's, contests, and giveaways!Chit ChatKevin & Bean (KROQ)Singer with the Spider in her Ear (LawdHaveMercy!)Annual Weaving and Fiber Festival (WeFF)RedFish DyeWorksKnittingFO's (What?!)Stella Luna | Project PagePicot Bind-Off referenced in: The Knitter's Book of Finishing TechniquesNew CO'sNaKniSweMo 2014 | Project PageSuper cute durable project bags I'm trying out:BAGGU 3D Zip Medium Electric Poppy Dot BAGGU Standard Reusable Shopping Bag Electric Poppy Dot   SpinningFiber Goodies this episode brought to you by: Southern Cross Fibre, JulieSpinsWhat the heck is Tencel?

Opinions. Which are a dime a dozen these days.I don't make any claims as to which vendors are better than others, I can just speak to my personal experience and interactions with these vendors. With that being said, I am happy with what I have received so far from the above vendor. I will be able to elaborate further on quality once I start spinning these fleeces. :0)
