Hi, Knitters,Episode 18 is here. Today I am talking about a couple of sweaters, socks, socks and more socks. Handspun socks are particularly on my mind it seems this fall.There is a brief photo slide show at the end. I wrote Slide Show where it says insert text at the end but it didn't save for some reason.Click here to watch Episode 18: Fall Knitting on YouTube!The podcast is available on iTunes as the Susan B.

Last week we spent some fantastic family-time in northern Wisconsin in a not-so-rustic log cabin nestled on a lake called Lower Twin Lakes near Hayward, Wisconsin. The weather was beautiful, the setting was gorgeous, the lake was smooth, the mosquitoes were aggressive, the food was very northern Wisconsin-like, and fun was had by all.One morning I took the camera down to the pier and filmed a podcast for about 20 minutes. Listed below are the links for the things I talk about in the episode.Miss Molly's Projects:Louise Cardigan by Carrie Bostick HogeOsprey yarn by Quince & Co.Knitter's Pride interchangeable wooden needlesKnit Picks Felici sock yarn in the Spooky colorway (yarn is discontinued)Signature Needles US size 2 dpns, 6-inchMy projects:Upcoming shawl design:Infinite Twist Helix yarn in the Clear Water colorwaySignature Needles, 24-inch circular US 7sSocks:Quaere Fibres socks in the Patchwork colorwaySignature Needles US size 1 dpns, 6-inchBooksA Homemade Life by Molly WizenbergDelancey by Molly WizenbergHow to Catch a Frog by Heather RossScoop by Jeff MillerWest's Hayward DairyHere are some photos from the trip for you to enjoy!Tipped canoe!It feels good to go away and then good to be home!
