I had the privilege of sitting down with the incredible Alison Howard, who turned her own trials into a transformative mission, Women at the Well of Love.

It's a conversation that will leave you inspired, as we discuss the significance of inner healing and the solace found in togetherness during life's storms.The energy in the room was undeniable as Allison detailed the exciting events and retreats organized by Women at the Well of Love, designed to offer sanctuary and understanding. She also shared her personal coaching practice's vital role in providing one-on-one support to women walking a path mirroring her own. The future looks bright with plans for a men's retreat and the utilization of the new life center at St Pius, where many will find a fresh start.

Finished socks for myself using Tilli Tomas Artisan Sock in Coconut Grove. Started another pair of socks for myself using Drops Fabel Print that I bought in San Luis Obispo. I have the book, Tea Cozies 3 by Sian Brown, Alison Howard and Vanessa Mooncie and have made the Pineapple and knitting Devon Violets. Started another tea cosy in red and green using the pattern Nanny Meiers Tea Cozy published by Fiber Trends. Using spirit yarn from Sears! Made the same tea cozy for my friend Gary. Kelly’s Projects I’m making progress on my With Friends Pullover. I’m using two patterns: Rachel by Josée Paquin, Fresh by Josée Paquin. To view the changes that I made to the striping sequence, see my project page. I’m back on track after ripping out about 10 rows and I have about an inch or so to go on the body. I started the Persian Tile Blanket for my grand niece. I’m using Knit Picks Brava Worsted in lots of fun bright colors. I’m continuing to knit dishcloths using my favorite stitch pattern, the Triple L Tweed from the Purl Soho Slip Stitch Dishtowels pattern. I cast on a multiple of 3 stitches +1. It’s usually 34 or 37 stitches because I like a compact dishcloth. I’m using four different 108-yard skeins of Tahki Cotton Classic and I’ll make as many as I can with this amount of yarn. I have my table loom dressed with one of the Christmas dish towel warps. It is a red, white, and green warp that reminds me of ribbon candy. The pattern I’ll be using is Textured Stripe from the Marguerite Davison Handweaver’s Pattern Book. Recipe I referred to: Butternut Squash and Brussels Sprouts from NPR Giveaway--Paper, Planning, and Plotting Two Sheeps Calendar: A Celebration of Independent Yarn Dyers. Each month features an exclusive skein from an indie dyer and the link to order the yarn. It’s not just a calendar! From twosheeps: Working with each dyer, we have obtained a limited supply of each exclusive colorway. The yarn in each month’s photograph is available for purchase on the first day of that month. We are grateful to each dyer for creating, dyeing, twisting, and labeling these amazing skeins and are thrilled to showcase their talent in our company’s first calendar! Pack of three Field Notes notebooks in the Snowy Evening design. From Field Notes: We’ve limited this 49th Quarterly Edition to 33,333 3-Packs.

To enter, answer this prompt: How do you keep your plots and plans straight? Paper, digital, other? Do you use a calendar? What kind? A notebook? What kind?

Marsha’s Projects I haven’t knit a stitch on the Holey Comfort cardigan by Hinterm Stein, but I did wind the fourth skein. I’m about to start the toe of the second socks for myself using Tilli Tomas Artisan Sock in Coconut Grove. Perhaps they will be finished during the episode! I talked about possibly returning my spirit yarn to the universe. As I looked at it again I got inspired to make tea cozies. I have the book, Tea Cozies 3 by Sian Brown, Alison Howard and Vanessa Mooncie and have made the Pineapple and knitting Devon Violets. Kelly’s Projects I finally finished the Sonny Bono jacket. The real name of the pattern is Crescendo and I bought it from Amazing Yarns. The yarn I used is called Curly Locks and is a tailspun mohair yarn. I love this jacket as much as the one I tried on at Stitches in 2018. I’m making progress on my With Friends Pullover. I’m using two patterns: Rachel by Josée Paquin, Fresh by Josée Paquin. To view the changes that I made to the striping sequence, see my project page. I’m back on track after ripping out about 10 rows and I have about an inch or so to go on the body. I’ m continuing to knit dishcloths using my favorite stitch pattern, the Triple L Tweed from the Purl Soho Slip Stitch Dishtowels pattern. I cast on a multiple of 3 stitches +1. It’s usually 34 or 37 stitches because I like a compact dishcloth. I finished dyeing the CVM 3-ply handspun for another handspun cardigan. I still haven’t selected the pattern but I’ve already made a gauge swatch and I have a few possibilities that I’m pondering. I have a few weaving projects. One is a repair to an unusually constructed rug that we have in the living room. The rug was made by sewing down narrow woven strips of wool weft on thread warp to a carpet backing. Our dog Nash had ripped up several strips in a few places on the rug. After investigating the construction I was able to sew the strips down. In some places it looks good as new, in other places it is just stabilized to prevent further damage. The other weaving projects are just at the wound warp stage. I have two 7 foot warps that I’ve wound for Christmas dish cloths. As inspiration I used two free patterns from Gist Yarn. One set of towels is a white warp with a narrow red stripe on either side and reminds me of candy canes. The pattern I’ll be using is Tidal Towels. The other set is a red, white, and green warp that reminds me of ribbon candy. The pattern I’ll be using is Textured Stripe from the Marguerite Davison Handweaver’s Pattern Book.

Marsha’s Projects Holey Comfort cardigan by Hinterm Stein using Elemental Effects Cormo. Haven’t knit a stitch in two weeks. But I’ll get back to it. I just have a little thinking to do about alternating the skeins on the sleeves for the two different dye lots. Finished the first of a pair of socks for myself using Tilli Tomas Artisan Sock in Coconut Grove. Knit about 6” of the second sock. In our last episode I talked about possibly returning my spirit yarn to the universe. As I looked at it again I got inspired to make tea cozies. I have the book, Tea Cozies 3 by Sian Brown, Alison Howard and Vanessa Mooncie and have made the Pineapple and knitting Devon Violets. Kelly’s Projects I’m making progress on my With Friends Pullover. I’m using two patterns: Rachel by Josée Paquin, Fresh by Josée Paquin. To view the changes that I made to the striping sequence, see my project page. I’ve made a mistake in the dots section so I have to rip out about 10 rows. I finished a solid blue charity hat using Cloudborn worsted and started another using two sock yarns held double. Both yarns are the second ball of Drops Fabel from our very first yarn crawl in San Luis Obispo. They are 50 gram balls and I bought two each for making socks. I made short socks with one and the paving mitts with the one ball of the other. The leftovers were perfect for a marled hat. I completed a dishcloth using my favorite stitch pattern, the Triple L Tweed from the Purl Soho Slip Stitch Dishtowels pattern. I make it smaller so it is a dishcloth rather than a towel, but I use the same stitch pattern and casting on a multiple of 3 stitches +1. It’s usually 34 or 37 stitches because I like a compact dishcloth. I cast on at the beginning of the camping trip and bound off on the ride home. I decided to make a crochet blanket for my grand niece and made a yarn purchase. The pattern I’ll be using is Persian Tile Blanket. But instead of making every square the same, I’ll be doing something more like Jenasauruswake’s Persian Tile Blanket. I got a huge box of yarn in a wide variety of colors from Knit Picks. I’ll be using Brava worsted. A New/Old interest: Fountain Pens Kelly has used a fountain pen off and on since college and got a new one for Christmas last year. Meanwhile, a young colleague talked about discovering the fountain pen hobby and that made Kelly start thinking. Could she get her old pen repaired? Yes! Was there a podcast? Yes indeed! There is The Pen Addict blog and podcast. From there she started looking online and found Peyton Street Pens, an online vintage pen store based in Santa Cruz. A vintage pen and some ink were ordered! What a rabbit hole! Winter Weave Along Or Summer Weave Along if you’re in the southern hemisphere! Starts November 1. It will go through March 31.
