Here’s beauty queen Kassidy Lynne …Bayamos by Raising CadenceHailing from Orlando, Fl, Raising Cadence formed in early 2014 from the remains of older local bands but with bigger hopes and an even bigger sound. Along with the musical meaning of Cadence, the name derives from a mutual friendship the band has with a man and his daughter and how their relationship became a model to live by. The band has released two EP's 'Northbound' and 'Take Me Higher' and are currently releasing more music such as 2018's single 'Leave It Alone' and 'Bayamos'. Big things are to come from up and coming band Raising Cadence.My Soldier My Son by Debbie BarnesDebbie Barnes is a Country singer songwriter from Brevard County FL. She started singing in bands at the age of 21 but was in her 40's before learning to play an instrument and start writing songs. She moved to Nashville, TN in 1994 and proceeded to take guitar lessons and joined the Nashville songwriters association to better hone her songwriting skills. She resided in TN for 10 yrs and recently moved back to her hometown of Cocoa Bch FL where she continues to write and perform originals and cover songs with her trio Aisle 4.Down by Barefoot ModernBarefoot Modern was born in 1998 in Winston-Salem, NC in the form of a ginger-bearded baby named Caleb Luh’-Zhern. Caleb burst forth from the womb with 9 months’ worth of songs already written. Flash-forward 8 years and 200 miles north, and you’ll find Mini-Robert (Beverly), with oversized glasses and feather boa, pounding out piano pop songs at an elementary school assembly in Goochland, Virginia. Back south in Oak Ridge, NC, we see Tegan Dean, Barefoot’s angelic lead singer, dribbling a soccer ball in her driveway, for hours, a song always on her lips. And close by in Jamestown, NC, Hunter Evans is flashing through childhood with his insane Bolt speed and Spidey-like acrobatic skills; on the rare spotting of this cheetah-child, he’s wielding a guitar. A few years later, Caleb, Hunter, and Robert met at high school, where they formed the garage-grunge band “The Bliss Trip.” They kicked butt and had some success for a few years until 2017, TBT morphs into Barefoot Modern. They won some awards, and are ready for more.

Now based out of Savannah, Georgia, Ginger is best known as the lead singer of the rock band Liquid Ginger, her new solo album “Fly on the Wall” quickly reminds you why she is a Georgia Music Award-winning vocalist.“Fly on the Wall” is all about: that secret, hidden life we all share full of heartbreak and love, fear and pain, triumph and hope. Ghost In The Mirror by Darren DPaul Wise [darren.wise.12] Proud endorser of PRS Guitars and Mesa Boogie published songwriter. He’s got something to do now with a band called Silvergun, and some dude named Drew Pearson, who used to play football for the Dallas Cowboys. Bro’s like famous, and he should be! Do Something by WEEPFrom the Space Coast of Florida, made up of a collection of rocket scientists and a real-live meteorologist, WEEP plays a fun modern funk rock style with conscious lyrics that echo the human condition. It’s a great show we’ve seen a dozen times and it gets better every darn time. Let’s check out Robin, Kimi, Melanie and Kat with one of their latest called You Could Be Mine by DogtoothDogtooth formed in 2013. Like most bands they started out playing covers of their favourite bands, playing over 300 gigs all over the UK in some great venues.

Catherine began teaching herself how to sing and play instruments during the summer of 2011 at 11 years old. While other kids enjoyed a break from school and spent their days poolside, Catherine found her happiness in perfecting her sound and spent her time performing streetside. Based in Tampa, she creates catchy rhythms and upbeat melodies that bring people together with every strum of her ukulele. Catherine's philosophy in chasing her dreams as a musician can be best summarized by a line from her original song, Sign: "One door closed, another door closed, I guess I'll just go through the window."

Hello there and welcome to The Crochet Circle Podcast and the show notes for Episode 35 – Sockdale   In this episode, I cover: Old dog new tricks; Sock CAL; Final Destination; En Route; Feeding the habit; Quick News Beats; Big Up and J’adore?   This podcast is sponsored by my online crafting company, Provenance Craft Co.  Thanks to everyone who tunes into the podcast whether it is through Stitcher, Podbean, Spotify, iTunes or the YouTube Channel. Your support and engagement are really appreciated and makes running a podcast very special and worthwhile.    If you would like to support the podcast, you can do that through Patreon:   1 – Old dog new tricks I was in our Ravelry pages the other day and came across a link that was helpfully posted to try to help people understand what kind of crocheter they are.  You may be a yanker, rider or a lifter.  Your style affects whether or not you are going to hit row tension/gauge and by crocheting in the Rider style, you should be able to hit gauge with most patterns (unless the designer is a Yanker or Lifter).  This can help you to get the right number fo pattern rows/rounds and in the case of a Yanker, stop you from having to use more yarn to get the right length of the project.   I thought I would raise this because a Crochet Clan member said that they managed to get gauge on their stitches, but not rows and their way around that was to add more rows.  This has happened to me in the past too.    Yankers – tend to pull the golden loop (first loop pulled up from yarn round hook) and create shorter stitches because they are yanking down on the loops as they work through each stitch.  With this technique, you are likely to create shorter projects unless you do extra rows/rounds, Riders – this is really where you want to be because your hook is being worked parallel with your row/round and the height is where it ideally should be.  When you pull through a loop from your first yarn round hook, your hook should almost be pointing diagonally down so that you are not extending the loop and you can continue to build the right height as you do the remaining parts of that stitch.   Lifters -  A lifter is the opposite of a Yanker because they extend the golden loop every time, creating a taller stitch.  With this technique, you are likely to create taller projects overall.   If you want to know more about this, I thoroughly recommend looking up Deje Jetmir’s YouTube video.  She takes you through what a difference it makes and how to overcome being a Yanker or Lifter.   2 - #SockAlong 2018 CAL This CAL is well and truly underway and I am mightily impressed with how many socks are being crocheted and the progress so far! It runs from Saturday 29th September – 31st October 2018. There is a series of blog posts taking you through the intricacies of crocheting socks. You can join in with crocheted or knitted socks. The chatter thread is on Claudia’s (Crochet Luna’s Ravelry page), the FO thread will be hosted by Kathryn from the Crafternoon Treats podcast Ravelry Group and I am heading up the Instagram #SockCAL2018 #SockAlong2018. Sock patterns are available from various designers. There will be prizes for winning entries into the Ravelry FO thread and those using #SockAlong2018FO and I showcase some of them on the podcast.

Yay.  I plan on writing a couple of blog posts on steeking crochet because I really think it should be incorporated into more designs.  I much prefer tapestry crochet in the round rather than in rows.  So, here is the design and the ways I liked to style it:   Discount codes are set up on both patterns on Ravelry.  Use CROCHETCLAN at check out to receive 50% discount. I also finished my knitted version of Arete and here it is too.     4 – En Route It is all about socks!  Crocheted socks.  I have two different pairs on the go.  Both are using the same Fallen Leaves pattern by Vicki Brown.  I am making both pairs with some of Kathryn from Crafternoon Treats yarn so that I can do a side by side comparison.  Both are 80% Corriedale and 20% nylon, but the bright pink one is non-superwash and the light blue is super washed.      I am intrigued to see the difference between the two and so I am making them both into the same crocheted sock pattern.  My plan is to wear both pairs one day each week for a number of months, put them both through our weekly wool wash and test them side by side to discern whether there is any material difference between superwash and non-superwash.   The yarn is working up really well and is giving great stitch definition with the Fallen Leaves which is beautiful.   5 – Feeding the habit Well, I was at Yarndale.  I am now on a bit of a yarn ban again and I think I am going to try to take it right through to 2019 and assess the situation then. So, here is what has been in my shopping basket this month, bearing in mind that much of it is for designs:     Left - 'Orchard' in Bear Twist by Bernie at Bear in Sheep's Clothing Middle and right-hand side yarn are both Crafternoon Corrie Sock from Kathryn at Crafternoon Treats   Right photo shows all the lovely gifts I have receievd during the month.  Lost of sticth markers and notions.  There were chocolates and tablet...     Left - Alpaca Rose yarn from Border Mill Right - crochet hook roll and bag from Clarisabeth from Crochet Cakes Podcast and DaintyByCrochetCakes Etsy shop, Chocolate bag and Patons Kroy sock yarn from Claudia at Crochet Luna Podcast and esty shop     Left - BFL, mohair and Pecora Brugno from Officina del Colore Naturale  Right - Poll Dorset Lambswool from Kate at Northern Yarn   6 - Quick News Beats  Global Hook Ups – The next Global Hook Up is due to be on Saturday 13th October 2018 (BST) Time: Saturday 13th October 2018 8:30 PM London BST Join from PC, Mac, Linux, iOS or Android: https://zoom.us/j/4750475819  The meeting ID number is 475-047-5819 and you will need to join via Zoom which you can do here:  https://www.zoom.us/join There is then a second one on Sunday 14th October at 9am (BST) Time: Sunday 14th October 2018 9:00 AM London BST Join from PC, Mac, Linux, iOS or Android: https://zoom.us/j/4750475819  The meeting ID number is 475-047-5819 and you will need to join via Zoom which you can do here:  https://www.zoom.us/join Making Things App - A new pattern app is in the making.  It is called Making Things App and you can take a look at their website and Instagram.  This is quite a different take on how you can access patterns form designers.  Think of a Netflix monthly payment with access to all of the patterns on the app.  I will report back when I know more about a launch date but what I can say is that as a designer and user of paid-for patterns, I am excited about this new platform. C2C CAL - Rosina of Zeens & Rogers podcast is hosting a corner to corner (C2C) CAL.  It starts on Sunday 7th October and runs until 17th November.  You can get all the details here in the blogpost.   Glasgow trip – I am heading to my favourite Scottish city on Saturday 24th November.  If anyone fancies meeting up, I will be heading to The Queen of Purls for about 3.30pm.  The yarn shop is at 1069 Argyle Street, Studio 8, Second Floor, The Hive, Glasgow, G3 8LZ and is open until 5pm. So, if you are in or around Glasgow and fancy squishing yarn with me and going for a coffee, please drop me a line.   8 – Big Up My friend Sophie has taken up podcasting.  She is quite a few episodes in now and you can catch her easy breezy, positive catch ups and see her massive WIP pile over at the A Spring Snowflake Podcast over on YouTube.   Yarndale organisers – it is a fabulous event that is very crochet welcoming and I think becomes more and more crochet friendly every year.    Everyone with a zombie apocalypse plan.  In a short and unscientific poll at Yarndale, three out of eight people do not have a zombie apocalypse plan.  In case you don’t have a plan, here are some tips:  https://comicvine.gamespot.com/profile/masterkungfu/blog/my-zombie-apocalypse-survival-plan/101215/   9 – J’adore Song – I listen to a fair bit of folk music and Spotify brought me ‘Dark Honey’ by Martin Simpson, Andy Cutting and Nancy Kerr.  It is just beautiful.  Claudia – Claudia from the Crochet Luan podcast was over for Yarndale.  We had a blast.  It is just as well we live far apart because I don’t think the world is ready for the amount of naughty we would create together!   Fay x   Instagram: Crochet_Circle_Podcast  Instagram: provenance.craft.co   Instagram: FayDHDesigns YouTube: The Crochet Circle Podcast Crochet Clan on Mighty Network: Invite

Victor Syperek has been a driving force in Halifax's bar, restaurant, and music scene for close to a quarter-century. For the first time, though, he'll be saying goodbye to Argyle Street and consolidating his interests north on Gottingen. Syperek claims his iconic Economy Shoe Shop has lost close to $2-million since construction on the Nova Centre began five years ago. Also, with nearly $65-million pledged by the provincial government in spending announcements over the past few weeks, you can smell an election call in the air. 

This week we speak with author . An ex-pat Australian, Gill cut his teeth as a journalist with the Vancouver Sun in the 1980s before moving on to produce documentaries for the CBC. In his 2016 book, , Gill explores the decimation of the newspaper industry — including right here in Halifax. He also looks at new journalistic ventures and enterprises around the world and wonders which of them might be a good fit in Canada. Also, we look at how the currently sitting half-built on Argyle Street could've ended up in a better-suited location where the Cogswell Interchange sits.

This is the third deadline that developer Joe Ramia has missed. Ships may start here, but apparently conventions don't.

** Due to Technical Issues, audio quality of this episode is severely degraded. We are sorry for this inconvenience.** There is growing concern about flooding in the Town of Yarmouth, in particular the area surround Argyle Street and Jarvis Road. Flooding in low lying areas is often a result of development pressures, over use of paving and strain on existing infrastructure. Development pressure that has been put on Brood Brook over the years is the underlying issue that has resulted in this residential area having to deal with flooding whenever there is storm or heavy rainfall. The Town of Yarmouth is investigating options for mitigating storm water runoff and reducing the impact of new development on this already fragile system.

The Second: "Coal".This one's all about Christmas and Hogmanay in Glasgow back in the day, and I think you'll soon come to the understanding via Charlie's fading memories about the festive period, that when he was growing up in the City, the real celebration was at the Bells rather than around the Christmas dinner table.He really tries his best to call up some recollections of the homemade toys and penny caramels, visiting the genuine Santa at the old Lewis's store in Argyle Street, and saving for some Italian treats at Christmas, but what becomes clear is that back in the 40's and 50's in Glasgow, the New Year parties were far more important, with the spinning of bottles until 8am, the first footing of all the tenement neighbours, the walking through the East End to find another bash, and the strange tradition of polishing coal......That said, the main revelation in this episode is actually the choice of faither's first record, but it's probably best to keep that one quiet. Have a great festive break on us and we'll see you in 2010!
