The life of this week's final Scriblerian, Thomas Parnell, rounds out the picture of the entire Scriblerus club as a fraternity of wildly brilliant men all carrying some great pain or wound. Some of them clearly write out of that wound, while others seem to write in spite of it. Parnell straddles the line, and today's poem is a fine example of his blending of bright energy with a sharp edge. Happy reading.Thomas Parnell (11 September 1679 – 24 October 1718) was an Anglo-Irish poet and clergyman who was a friend of both Alexander Pope and Jonathan Swift.He was born in Dublin, the eldest son of Thomas Parnell (died 1685) of Maryborough, Queen's County (now Portlaoise, County Laois), a prosperous landowner who had been a loyal supporter of Oliver Cromwell during the English Civil War and moved from Congleton, Cheshire to Ireland after the Restoration of Charles II. His mother was Anne Grice of Kilosty, County Tipperary: she also owned property in County Armagh, which she left to Thomas at her death in 1709. His parents married in Dublin in 1674. Thomas was educated at Trinity College, Dublin and collated as Archdeacon of Clogher in 1705. In the last years of the reign of Queen Anne of England he was a popular preacher, but her death put an end to his hope of career advancement. He married Anne (Nancy) Minchin, daughter of Thomas Minchin, who died in 1712, and had three children, two of whom died young. The third child, a girl, is said to have reached a great age. The marriage was a very happy one, and it has been said that Thomas never recovered from Nancy's early death.He spent much of his time in London, where he participated with Pope, Swift and others in the Scriblerus Club, contributing to The Spectator and aiding Pope in his translation of The Iliad. He was also one of the so-called "Graveyard poets": his 'A Night-Piece on Death,' widely considered the first "Graveyard School" poem, was published posthumously in Poems on Several Occasions, collected and edited by Alexander Pope and is thought by some scholars to have been published in December 1721. It is said of his poetry, "it was in keeping with his character, easy and pleasing, enunciating the common places with felicity and grace."-bio via Wikipedia This is a public episode.

For this episode of LaunchLeft Podcast, Rain is joined by renowned producer and musician John Congleton, who shares his journey in the music industry and his collaboration with emerging artist Sarah Kinsley. They explore the creative process, the significance of authenticity in art, and the unique dynamics of producing music. John Congleton shares his early musical influences and the pivotal moments that led him to become a producer, reflecting on his upbringing in a musically rich environment and the profound impact of punk rock on his creative journey. John launches Sarah Kinsley who reflects on working with John on her latest album, “Escaper”, highlighting the collaborative nature of music production and the challenges of translating studio work to live performances. -----------------  LAUNCHLEFT OFFICIAL WEBSITEhttps://www.launchleft.com  LAUNCHLEFT PATREON https://www.patreon.com/LaunchLeft  TWITTER https://twitter.com/LaunchLeft  INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/launchleft/  FACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/LaunchLeft  --------------------- In This Episode: [5:30] John Congleton's Early Music Journey [10:48] The Role of Artists and Creativity [16:43] Mentorship and Influence of Steve Albini [21:33] John launches Sarah Kinsley [27:06] Creating Music with Physical Instruments [33:07] The Impact of Technology on Music Creation [38:25] Social Media and Artistic Perception Key Takeaways: ​Everyone is inherently creative, akin to breathing. It's about recognizing and nurturing that creativity in everyday life. Congleton believes that creativity is as natural as breathing. Everyone possesses it, but often, people forget their innate artistic potential. Recognizing and nurturing this creativity can lead to personal fulfillment and innovation. Artists serve as conduits for expressing the human experience. They capture the essence of what it feels like to be alive at a particular moment in time, offering insights that go beyond mere information through all forms of art and expression.  The digital age presents new challenges, such as the instant playback of music and the pervasive influence of social media. Artists must balance these tools with their creative instincts to maintain authenticity. Performing live offers a unique opportunity to connect with audiences in a shared, ephemeral experience. It allows artists to reinterpret their work and engage with listeners on a deeper level.

From his astounding drum sounds to the aggressive guitar sounds he conjures, Congleton defines modern record production. Starting as a teenager in Dallas, Congleton studied and learned the craft of engineering from the ground up. While recording bands on the local scene he developed into an engineer of note. Soon he was being called to record projects as diverse as Kirk Franklin, Erykah Badu and the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, all the while continuing to work with the local indie rock scene.  Upon returning to Dallas, Congleton quickly established himself as the best producer in town. It was while working with the Polyphonic Spree he met Annie Clark, now better known as St. Vincent. Their partnership over six albums has won Grammy awards and been universally praised by critics as some of the most important music of our times. Now based in Los Angeles, Congleton continues to grow and flourish. In addition to the repeat business from long-time clients, he’s now established among the best of the best. Recent productions include Death Cab for Cutie, The Murder Capital, Tegan and Sara, Regina Spektor, Wallows, Angel Olsen, Sharon Van Etten and many more.

In this episode, we follow Gill's journey from church school, where her dad was the local vicar and knew 'everyone', through to training as a structural engineer, a job that Gill loved and thought she would work in for the rest of her working life. As a young graduate engineer with a degree in applied geology and engineering, Gill took the first tentative steps into the adult world, testing, monitoring and evaluating the structural integrity of concrete structures and piled foundations. This job took her around the world, and she was involved in many prestigious projects, including the Queen Elizabeth II bridge, Canary Wharf, Trinity College Dublin and, of not to be left out, Congleton sewage treatment works. With parenthood, Gill realised she was no longer going to be able to travel with work and wanted to find a career that would allow her to settle and raise her family. Sadly, these were different times, and engineering was not seen as a viable option.  Engineerings loss was teachings gain as Gill trained into primary education, a journey that she initially found less than easy. After spending her first stint of teaching "pretending she knew what she was doing",  she jumped out of the role of primary practitioner and into the shoes of a school sports coordinator, working not only in the primary sector but in secondary and tertiary as an advisor and event coordinator. Travel was once again back on the agenda, meeting famous sportspeople and working across schools. Gill is now Assistant Head at Beech Hill School and, in this role spins many plates, one being the school's coordinator of STEM education.  Gill has been a participant and regional leader on Manchester University's  SEERHI and the Progressing and Evolving to be an engineer project for many years. Gill views STEM education and design and technology specifically as a way to energise and transform student expectations and self-worth. Gill received national recognition from D&TA as Practitioner of the Year in 2021 and also won TES Subject Leader of the Year in 2022. So sit back, relax and listen to Designed for Life, in conversation with award-winning Assistant Headteacher Gill Fitzpatrick. https://www.seerih.manchester.ac.uk/https://www.beechhillwigan.co.uk/https://www.nfuonline.com/media/strpgvph/inspiring-stem-learning-through-agriculture.pdf

Imagine this: You've created tons of reports, and before you know it, you now have 300 reports with different data sets from different places. This is where Power BI steps in to help. Listen as Kim Congleton discusses the key features of Power BI and how they can help make data reporting a breeze. Essential points covered in this episode: ✔️ A fixed data structure is the key to efficiency. She taught herself how to use the software, but the data were conflicting. The solution was a fixed structure, workshops, and working together in applying the new method. ✔️Power BI is a front-end tool. It allows you to interact with backend data and make it presentable. Maximize the features of Power BI. Don't forget the basics, such as a set data structure, correct tables, and accurate calculations. ✔️ Use visuals to relay information. Reading through multiple spreadsheets with so much data can be a headache. Diagrams like bar graphs and pie charts can make reading data easier for users. This can help you notice recurring trends like late payments or extra expenses and even see inconsistencies quickly. ✔️ Power BI is so much more than a reporting tool. You can now embed Power Apps into a Power BI report so you can interact and analyze the data at the same time. Microsoft is set on adding even more features to Power BI. Are you ready to experience ease in data reporting?

Welcome to the latest edition of The Leadership Untitled Podcast, with me Rob Moors… the show where we seek to help leaders through a range of guests and stories, some hints and tips and maybe a bunch of mistakes that we made along the way, so you don't have to. My guest this week is Helen Harrison. Helen is the Head Teacher at a local primary school; in fact, it's the school that both of my kids went to… Mossley Primary School in Congleton. So, why a Head Teacher? Well, I think it's time we got back to grassroots when it comes to leadership; not so much the academic side, the models, the theories and the debates; what do our kids think about it? What do we teach our kids in school when it comes to leadership and how do we encourage them to experience leadership and followership? Something that really struck me about speaking with Helen was just how much emphasis she and her school place on coaching, and I don't mean just the coaching of children, but the emphasis on coaching conversations and coaching amongst her staff, the teachers, and the conversations they then have with other people such as parents on parents' evenings. It's a coaching approach, and an investment of time energy and money in that approach, that I think lots of corporates could really learn from. So, join me in welcoming Helen to the show.

Grady is an athletic trainer that currently works with middle school athletes. At the time of this recording he was writing a blog called “Youth Sports Reimagined”. Since then he has rebranded it to “4D Sports Medicine”. Everything in the conversation still applies, it is just happening under a different name. In this episode we talk about how youth sports has been going through its own arms race and the detrimental impacts it has been having on some youth sports athletes. There is no quick fix for what youth sports have become and it will take many people to help restore it back to where athletes aren't quitting at the age of 13. Hear some of the things that Grady has picked up in his education and experience working with these athletes. Check it out.

In this episode, you'll hear from Ben Congleton who is the CEO of Olark, which provides live chat for university websites. You'll hear him talk about: the importance of live chat, and what its benefits are over texting how different universities have utilized chat and what their successes have been how universities can manage live chat, even with a small or understaffed team

In just a moment, you'll meet Ben Congleton —  Founder of Olark, a live chat software and data tool that serves colleges and universities of all shapes and sizes. Growing up, Ben wanted to be a professor like his father before him.  And while he completed both a bachelors and masters degree from Virginia Tech and started his PhD at the University of Michigan, Ben ultimately realized that he was a bit more interested in business than in higher education.So he decided to pursue one of the many business ideals he had noodled on for a few years. After starting a webhosting company, Ben realized that there was a dearth of great website chat tools – and he had this vision of making chat software that was as easily to install on a website as Google Analytics.And it was this idea that granted access to Olark (which was called Habla at the time) to Y Combinator, the most famous and prestigious of startup accelerators.So, he and his founding team moved to the San Francisco Bay Area and that's where things really started to take off. Tune in to hear the story of how Ben ended up living in Elon Musk's house next door to an apartment that Mark Zuckerburg had rented and ultimately bootstrapped the company to success. Discover more about how Olark can help your school get started with (or get better at) utilizing live chat at https://olark.com/enrollifyConnect with Ben on LinkedIn here. This episode is brought to you by Goodkind - an easy-to-use video engagement platform designed to make each of your prospects feel special, cared for and seen.

Throughout the 1990s, there was a batch of Manchester City graduates who made their way into the first team that fans were able to feel a connection to, largely because they were from the local area. A pair of brothers, Ian and David Brightwell, were in that bracket. In 2018, David Mooney caught up with David to discuss how he made the journey from youth football in the local leagues in Congleton all the way up to City's first team - and the influence of having an older brother already playing for the club when he first arrived.

This episode is a LIVE recording of a conversation I had with Tony Riddle who was eight days into an epic journey. He was running the length of Great Britain, completely barefoot, covering 30 miles a day for 30 days. His aim? To show what human beings are biologically capable of, as well as to raise environmental awareness and funds. Even though the conversation was recorded back in 2019, it has as much relevance today as it did back then. You might remember Tony from episode 71, What Makes Us Human. He's also known as the natural lifestylist and one of his aims is to help people move back towards a more natural lifestyle by inspiring them to make small changes that can make a big difference. Unfortunately, when we meet up to record this episode, in front of a small live audience at the Wild and Wild café in Congleton, acute injury meant that Tony was two days into an enforced break from his run. So, in this conversation, we talk about how he coped with that setback. We also talk about the incredible power of being vulnerable, the idea of progress, not perfection, and Tony's philosophy that everything in life is a process. He shares some simple – and free – tools that can help all of us cope with adversity: human contact (hugs from your loved ones), breathwork, meditation, mobility and cold-water therapy. I ask Tony to take us through a simple breathing exercise, in real time (so you can join in, too). And we chat about the physiology of stress and how and when breathwork can help us. In keeping with the theme of his run, we finish our chat on the topic of sustainability – the equal importance of individual and system change to protect our environment. Tony is a really inspiring man who challenges the modern norms in society that are not in keeping with our evolution and biology. I hope you enjoy this conversation.Thanks to our sponsors:http://www.athleticgreens.com/livemorehttps://www.vivobarefoot.com/livemorehttps://www.calm.com/livemore Order Dr Chatterjee's new book Happy Mind, Happy Life: UK version and US & Canada version Show notes available at https://drchatterjee.com/238 Support the podcast: Members get ad-free episodes and exclusive content including my take on the topics most requested by the FBLM community https://drchatterjee.com/membershipDISCLAIMER: The content in the podcast and on this webpage is not intended to constitute or be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

We're taking a break from the dream pop resurgence of the 2010s to reminisce over one of Quentin's favorite indie rock records from our high school years: Ambulance LTD's "LP" from 2004. With a frontman in constant struggle to keep his band together, and a bankrupt record label preventing him from releasing new material, Marcus Congleton's Ambulance LTD was rather short-lived. Though they may not have had enough time to evolve their sound and bring it to maturity, a band that once said "their niche is not sticking to any particular niche" somehow managed to release one of the better guitar pop records from 2004; a true gem in the era of cookie cutter indie pop.Tracklist: Primitive (The Way I Treat You) Ophelia Sugar Pill Sugar Pill (demo version) Stay Tuned Drug Cabin - Steely Dad Visit tiestatea.com and use promo code NOFILLER15 for 15% off at checkout.This show is part of the Pantheon Podcast network.

FUN can create fans out of your users and customers! In this episode, Kim Congleton, COO, and co-owner of New View Strategies shares how gamification and practical training methods create the best experience using Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. ✅ Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Incorporating fun in any training maximizes familiarity for adult learners. Using the actual handheld kind while doing some races and games out on the floor empowers warehouse personnel to learn while in a familiar environment to embrace using new systems and technology. ✔️ Companies create the biggest mistakes in training people while sitting down in a conference room on a computer instead of being out on the floor with the handheld doing actual picks or put aways, shipments, cycle counts, and physical inventories. ✔️ At New View Strategies, training is practical and actionable, not a one-and-done thing. Different scenarios are created to help the team work through the errors and by causing the system to have the mistakes to test if they know how to fix that, just like what's going to happen in real life. ✅ About Kerry Peters & New View Strategies: Kerry Peters is the CEO of New View Strategies, a company known for solving mission-critical business problems and a straight-talking, experiential approach to training and process improvement for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and Dynamics NAV.

Achtsamkeit - zum GlückZuerst hineinspüren, ohne zu bewerten: Welche Gedanken sind gerade in mir? Was fühle/denke ich gerade? Gedanken und Gefühlen sein lassen.  Alles, was da ist, begrüßen und annehmen; durch Deine Gefühle durchatmen und dabei spüren, wie sich innerlich der Raum vergrößert. Wenn sich etwas unangenehm anfühlt, z.B. einengt, sticht, drückt… die Qualität dieser Empfindung spüren und, wenn möglich, ihre Lokalisation (z.B. Bauch / Brust / Kehle…). In diesem Zustand des „Annehmens“, die zentrierende Atmung durchführen (tief in den Bauch ein- und in etwa doppelt so lange ausatmen). Anfangs führst du diese Übung am Besten im Sitzen oder Liegen aus. Später, wenn Du merkst, dass sie Dir kaum Mühe kostet, kannst Du sie im Stehen oder Gehen durchführen.  Studien über die Wirkung von Achtsamkeit auf Stress, Resilienz, Ängste, Depression, ADHS… gibt es über 100. Ich möchte Dir die Studie von Dr. Matt Killingsworth ans Herz legen, mit über 15.000 Menschen über die Rolle von Achtsamkeit beim Glücksgefühl – hier ist das Video mit deutschen Untertiteln https://www.ted.com/talks/matt_killingsworth_want_to_be_happier_stay_in_the_moment/up-next?language=deStudien Achtsamkeit:  Hölzel, B.K., Carmody, J., Vangel, M., Congleton, C., Yerramsetti, S.M., Gard, T., & Lazar, S.W.

A man who I've heard of many times and yet never had a chance to meet. Gotta love the pod for this coz after my chat with Mr Vaderslice on Episode 51 I was introduced.  Mr Congleton is so fast. He's quick witted and on point. He knows what he thinks and has clearly taken a long time to come to his opinions. You know where you stand with that kind of attitude. You can see the strength of his character quickly from his twitter feed where he is not afraid to tell it like he sees it. The fact there's a quick way in with the man perhaps that explains how he's been able to work with such a huge range of talent from a multitude of genres. Time for a quick name drop. Although he's worked with hundreds and hundreds of great acts (many of whom are wonderfully unknown) a selection of his high profile gigs include working with: Lana Del Rey Angel Olsen St Vincent David Byrne My guest on episode 17 - Kimbra  Modest mouse  Swans  Erykah Badu And my guest from episode 16 - unknown mortal orchestra  There are so many more. It's quite staggering to read a longer list of names from his wiki.  Needless to say “have you ever been experienced” is rather fitting So in that mental cloud of psych dust lingering in the doorway lets jump into this coffee morning speed ramble with the powerhouse that is John Congleton  ______ The Nitty sees me getting old school with my original looper. The same one I used to open for James Brown, Bjork and Beck! so simple by 2109 standards but it was 19 years ago :) _______ Music for the show is from second violin :  https://secondviolin.bandcamp.com/ or soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/second-violin Thanks to  ASC for the show sponsorship Get some tubetraps ASAP !!

Texas native John Congleton's production, engineering and mixing résumé is as diverse as they come, spanning projects with everyone from Blondie to The Roots & Erykah Badu to Angel Olsen to Talking Heads' David Byrne to gospel legend Kirk Franklin. A Grammy-winner for his work on St. Vincent's 2014 self-titled album, Congleton also fronted The Paper Chase for over a decade, crafting some of the most feverishly manic and intriguing music known within indie-rock -- thanks to, in his words today, being "willing to destroy the integrity of a completely reasonable song for the effect of an audio hallucination." Last year saw the release of his first post-Paper Chase album under The Nighty Nite moniker, titled "Until The Horror Goes," and he's already produced five albums that have come out so far in 2017 from Nelly Furtado, Blondie, Future Islands, Xiu Xiu and Goldrapp. On this episode, Congleton recalls his early memories of ZZ Top and Fawlty Towers, the influence of Pink Floyd, Public Enemy and the BBC Radiophonic Workshop on the Paper Chase, what artists of all walks ultimately want from an engineer or producer, where exactly he keeps his Grammy and why we're still fascinated with the Zodiac Killer.

Classes are run by The Link and the next round of classes will be "next steps crochet". 2. Yarn Clubs (at 7.35 mins) This kick starts the beginning of a new series where we talk about yarn clubs.  The intention is to cover off standard yarn clubs within this episode and in the coming couple of months investigate themed yarn clubs (where you get more than just the yarn) and crochet boxes (where you receive the yarn, pattern etc. either in one hit or as part of a larger month by month project).    Fay signed up to a club from Life in the Long Grass, an Irish based husband and wife dying team.  They take inspiration from their surroundings and pull together some of the nicest speckled yarns available.     Amazingly, Fay managed to wait a whopping 24 days to open up the package so that it could be done as part of the podcast recording. Was it worth the wait?  Yes it was!  Looking forward to the next instalment? Oh, yes.     Here are the details of Fay's yarn club subscription: Name: Life in the Long Grass (LITLG) Autumn Club. Cost: The single subscription is 70 EUROS or you can double up to get 2 x 100g skeins over three months for 120 EUROS.  This means that each skein including P&P costs 20 EUROS (about £105 for the entire double subscription - £17.50 per skein).  This is good value for money given that a single skein costs £19 elsewhere and you may also incur P&P costs if you buy online.     Colours: You don't know what they will be in advance, although you can guess that because it is the autumn club, the colours will be autumnal. Had I seen this in a shop, I wouldn't have gone to buy it, however, I absolutely love all of the colours.  Receiving yarn in this way can be a risk because you don't know what the colours will be.  I am very happy with the colours I received in the first month and the fact that they will move me on from my usual colour palette of blues.    Yarn base: Another factor to think about is whether you are going to like the base that they are using.  I had already squished LITLG yarn and so I knew that I liked their base (75% superwash merino 25% nylon, 100g is 400m) and wouldn't have any issues with it.       Lynne has ordered a one-month subscription from Baa Baa Brighouse and it is due to arrive in October. The yarn dyer for October was Katie Pearce of Sylvan Tiger Yarn, based in Leeds, West Yorkshire. Her inspiration came from ‘Stained Glass’ by Shutterspot Photography. The picture was taken at St Matthew’s Church in Rastrick, just a stone’s throw away from Baa Baa Brighouse HQ. There is evidence to suggest that the site has been a place of worship from as early as the 10th Century.  The colourway will be based on a stained glass window.   Here are some of the other yarn only clubs (from the British Isles) that we have come across, and if you think we have missed any or, you have suggestions, why not add them to our yarn club chat thread in Ravelry?    1 - Hedgehog Fibre Twist Club, 100g each month for three months for 64.50 EUROS (not sure if this includes the 14 EUROS P&P). 2 - The Golden Skein The Power of 3 Yarn Club, 100g each month includes postage and continues for three months for £75 in total. 3 - Devon Sun Yarns Sock Yarn Club, 100g each month for three months for £55 including P&P. 4 - DT Crafts Super Sock Medley Membership. 100g each month for three months including P&P for £45. 5 - Ripples Crafts Yarn Notes from Assynt (Reliable Sock) Club, 100g each month for three months including P&P for £52. 6 - Cuddlebums Sock Yarn Club, 100g per month and can be purchased on a monthly basis for £16.50 including P&P.  A general google search for 'Yarn Clubs UK' will bring up lots of other options.  Our suggestion would be to check them all out (you won't know the prices of some until the club goes live) and sign up to the dyer's newsletters and follow them on social media.  That way, you will be one of the first to know about their yarn club openings.  You need to be quick though because they generally sell out very quickly.   3. Book Review - Three from the Top (at 25.55 mins) We talk about the duo of Kat Goldin and Joanne Scrace rather a lot, and with good reason.  They create gorgeous, functional, well-written patterns using beautiful yarns.  Back in April, they brought out a book called 'Three from the Top' but whilst we haven't been able to make anything from it yet, one of the Crochet Circler's, Helen, has so far made two of the three cardigans from the book, so we asked her to do the review for us and she kindly agreed! Here is a picture of Helen wearing her version of the Aberfoyle cardigan and below are the top-line details of her review.  The full review can be read on Ravelry here.     Three from the Top highlights: Overall: 5/5. Value for money: 5/5 (£12 hardcopy plus digital or £10 digital only). Likelihood to make again: High. Likelihood to recommend to a friend: Yes - I already have!  The book can be bought online at The Crochet Project. 4. Yarndale (at 34.20 mins) Fay: It is a very different proposition to attend a yarn festival as a trader rather than a visitor.  It is hard work and you are 'on' with nowhere to hide for a full two days.  I have a newfound respect for people that are trading at yarn festivals weekend after weekend.   It was lovely to meet so many Crochet Circle listeners and special thanks to Kate for showing us her beautiful crocheted shawl and Eleanor for the offer of a cuppa next time we are in the area. The only downside to Yarndale 2016 was that I didn't have any time to go yarn shopping.  Dinna fash yersels readers, I was in Glasgow for 24 hours last weekend and more than made up for it!   Lynne: Despite being shattered, I had a great time exhibiting at Yarndale. It was lovely to meet so many people and chat about knitting and crochet. Thanks to everyone who bought my books and to my good friend Cassie for helping me on the stand - I couldn't have done it without her. And thanks to Martine for providing regular hot drinks on Sunday. Overall it was a great success. I'm so glad that a lot of my knitting and crocheted samples have gone to new homes and hopefully, I'll be seeing lots of FOs of your Mandalas and Fairytale characters.     Easily the cutest visitor that we had at the stand.   The baby was given one of Lynne's samples to wear.   5. FOs (at 58.25 mins) Fay: My FOs have been reasonably small ones this month because I was making little things to dotaround my Yarndale stall such as the Cow Parsely Garland that I had favourited in a previous Magazine Roundup.  The only big item that I finished was my second crocheted garment for Yarndale - Wrapover Top as seen below. You can get all of the details from my Ravelry page.   Lynne: most of my FOs have been work-related so it's hard to share them with you before they're published. But I did create a cute little cuddle bear for Yarndale with his own snuggle blanket, and he proved very popular.   Also, I recently completed another toy for Crochet now magazine, which is a dress-up doll. Each month, a new outfit will be published. I love how Editor Hugh has made a clothes rail for her outfits.   6. WIPs (at  66 mins) Fay: Some of mine (shorelines blanket, Tardis cushion, two Uncia shawls) haven't been picked up at all but this is mainly because of Yarndale and Take Two preparations.  I have been working on a couple of knitted pairs of socks, one of which is for a charity project and that is all I have had time for.   So, my WIP list is currently at six including the socks below.   Lynne: I'm the same as last month at 14, as I haven’t had any time to work on my own WIPS. I’ve started and finished lots of projects (work-related) but nothing for myself so I’m really looking forward finishing my Search Press book so that I can get on with making things for myself (hopefully). 7. Feeding the Habit (at 76.50 mins) Fay: Well of course very little was added at Yarndale, but a couple of weeks before, I took part in The Great London Yarn Crawl.  In short, you sign up to be with a group that has a specific route for the day and times to be at certain yarn shops in London.  We had a fab tour guide called Jenny who successfully navigated us around the busy London streets from Liberty's to i Knit London and then on to Sharp Works (my absolute favourite of the three shops).  As we were all so fleet of foot, we managed to cram in Loop London as well before making our way to the pub (open just for yarn crawlers) for the raffles and a Q&A session. It was a great day out and formed a large part of my best friend Jenny's birthday present. Here are September's yarn purchases! 1 - Sassenach from Yarns from the Plain    2 - Knit by Numbers from John Arbon Textiles   3 - DK from Wensleydale Sheep Shop bought at i Knit London   4 - Mini from Owl About Yarn   5 - Mini from Third Vault Yarns   6 - Alpaca from Juniper Moon Farms, bought at Sharp Works in London   7 - Madelinetosh bought from Loop London A couple of weeks before that, I had organised a yarn dying workshop which of course meant more yarn acquisitions.  It was great fun to try dip dying, kettle dyeing and hand painting and all three techniques gave very different results.  So far, I have started a pair of socks off in my hand-painted yarn (see the Fugly Sock picture under my WIPs). This picture shows lots of the yarn dyed during the workshop - so many colours! Lynne: I bought a sock bag from Fay at her yarn dying workshop along with a tension square gauge and some lovely Italian scissors and a leather sheath. I also bought a couple of skeins of yarn from Nic (Yarns from the Plain) and two cute little tins of hand cream from Rachel Atkinson at Yarndale.       8.Take Two update     We took our samples for our book 'Take Two' to Yarndale and they were very well received.  The book will be available in November and here is a hint of what it will contain:   It will cost £12 for the hard/digital copy and £10 for digital-only copy.     9. What’s Good (at 105 mins) Fay: Whilst doing all of the preparation work I had many hours to listen to/watch podcasts.  I binge-watched Tilly Trout on YouTube because she is always upbeat and positive and kept me motivated through many days of hard graft!  Tilly mainly knits but also makes quite a few crochet projects.  If you need to brighten your day, try a Tilly Trout episode!   A sneaky second What's Good? is that I am going to be in Glasgow for 24 hours and my DAD (!) has looked up which yarn shops I would want to go to. I will be heading to The Yarn Cake and The Queen of Purls and will report back in the next episode.   Lynne: I've made a start on my new regime - to work upstairs in the Woolnest instead of downstairs in the dining room/living room. It's much better in terms of keeping the house tidy and having everything accessible and close to hand. Next stop is to sort out my work/life balance - watch this space.   Also, I spotted a new yarn shop in Congleton, on West Street, called the Craft Barn (or the Craft room?) - I'll check it out and let you know all about it next time.   Happy listening and crocheting.   Lynne and Fay x   Instagram: Crochet_Circle_Podcast  Instagram: provenance.craft.co   Instagram: FayDHDesigns YouTube: The Crochet Circle Podcast Crochet Clan on Mighty Network: Invite
