If the thought of recording a video makes your heart race, you're not alone. I remember being terrified of showing up on camera. I overthought every word, worried about how I looked, and questioned whether anyone would even watch. But here's what I learned: The clients you're meant to help are on the other side of that fear. And in 2026, video is no longer optional. We're living in a time where trust matters more than ever. People have been over-marketed to, over-promised to, and overwhelmed by content. They want to know who they're learning from. They want to hear your voice, understand your perspective, and feel connected to the person behind the message. In this episode, I'm breaking down why video has become one of the biggest non-negotiables for coaches, how to overcome camera fear, the difference between short-form and long-form content, and the five videos every coach should have in their business. Because your future clients are watching. The question is: are you showing up? In This Episode, We Cover: • Why video is non-negotiable in 2026 • How to overcome the fear of being on camera • The impact of the current "trust recession" • Why AI makes authentic video content more important than ever • The difference between short-form and long-form video • How webinars help convert viewers into clients • The five essential videos every coach should create • How to repurpose one video into multiple pieces of content • Why consistency matters more than perfection • Simple steps to start showing up on video today A Message I Want You to Hear You do not need perfect lighting. You do not need the perfect script. You do not need the perfect camera. You need to start. Because confidence doesn't come before action. Confidence comes from taking action over and over again. Your future clients aren't waiting for a polished version of you someday. They're waiting for you right now. Why Video Is Non-Negotiable in 2026 We are living in what many experts call a "trust recession." People understand marketing. They know what funnels are. They know when they're being sold to. And with AI making content creation easier than ever, people are craving something real. They want to see the person behind the content. Video creates trust faster than almost any other format because people can hear your voice, experience your energy, and connect with your message. How to Get Over Camera Fear Every coach feels awkward at first. The key is not waiting for the fear to disappear. It's taking action anyway. A few simple tips: • Record and post before overanalyzing • Focus on serving instead of performing • Imagine talking to one ideal client • Use notes or slides if they help you stay focused • Remember that nobody starts as an expert on camera The more you show up, the easier it becomes. Short-Form vs. Long-Form Video Both formats serve different purposes. Short-Form Video Platforms include: • Instagram Reels • TikTok • YouTube Shorts Best for: • Quick tips • Myth busting • Mindset shifts • Visibility and reach These videos are typically one to three minutes long. Long-Form Video Platforms include: • YouTube • Podcast videos • Webinar replays • Masterclasses Best for: • Building trust • Teaching your method • Demonstrating expertise • Converting viewers into clients Long-form content allows people to spend more time with you and understand your approach. Why Webinars Convert So Well Webinars remain one of the highest-converting forms of video content. A strong webinar should: • Share your story • Teach something useful • Address the real problem your audience faces • Handle common objections • Include one clear call to action The goal isn't to overwhelm people with information. The goal is to help them understand why your solution works. The 5 Videos Every Coach Needs 1. Your Origin Story Why do you do this work? What experiences led you here? This is the video that helps people connect with you emotionally. 2. Your Signature Talk Explain your unique framework, process, or philosophy. Focus on the transformation you help create—not the features of your program. 3. The Biggest Mistake Share the most common mistake your ideal client is making. Help them see what they can't currently see. 4. A Client Success Story Walk people through a real transformation. Show the challenges, breakthroughs, and outcomes. Stories build trust. 5. FAQ and Objection Buster Answer questions like: • Is this right for me? • How long does it take? • Why does this work? • What makes your approach different? This content can help sell for you 24/7. One Video Can Create a Week of Content A single long-form video can become: • Reels • Social posts • Email newsletters • YouTube content • Podcast episodes • Blog posts Instead of constantly creating from scratch, one piece of content can fuel your entire marketing strategy. Your Action Step This week, choose one of the five video types: • Origin Story • Signature Talk • Biggest Mistake • Client Success Story • FAQ Buster Record it. Don't wait for perfection. Post it. Then repurpose it into multiple pieces of content. Because the only way to become comfortable on video is to start using your voice. Final Thoughts You have something worth saying. Your audience needs your message. And there is someone right now searching for the exact solution you provide. Don't hide behind more certifications. Don't spend six hours adjusting Canva templates. Don't wait until you feel ready. Show up. Press record. And trust that your voice matters. Resources Are you a health coach in need of done-for-you content?

If you're tired of chasing the algorithm, this episode is for you. One day reels are working. The next day everyone says carousels are back. Then someone tells you long-form captions are dead. Another person says you need to post three times a day. Before you know it, you're spending more time trying to keep up with social media than actually growing your business. And that's exhausting. In this episode, I'm sharing why podcasting may be one of the smartest visibility moves you can make in 2026 — not because it's trendy, but because it gives you something social media often doesn't: Depth. Connection. Authority. Trust. We talk about why relying solely on social media can keep coaches stuck in an endless cycle of content creation, how podcasting creates deeper relationships with potential clients, and why your voice may be one of your most powerful business assets. If you've been thinking about starting a podcast, or you're looking for a more sustainable way to grow your visibility, this conversation will help you see what's possible. In This Episode, We Cover: • Why social media is a rented platform • The problem with chasing the algorithm • What a "trust recession" means for coaches • Why podcasting builds deeper trust than social media • How podcasts help establish authority in your niche • Why podcast listeners become warmer leads • How podcasting shortens the trust-building process • The four foundational podcast episodes every coach should create • How to repurpose podcast content into weeks of marketing • Why perfection is keeping many coaches from getting started A Message I Want You to Hear You do not need to be the loudest coach online. You do not need to post ten times a day. You do not need to chase every trend. What you need is a clear message, a consistent voice, and a way to build trust with the people you are meant to serve. Because your future clients don't just need information. They need to trust the person behind the information. Why Social Media Alone Isn't Enough Social media is a powerful discovery tool. But it's also a rented stage. You don't control who sees your content. You don't control platform updates. You don't control algorithm changes. And when your entire business depends on a platform you don't own, visibility can feel unpredictable and frustrating. That's why coaches need additional ways to build authority and connection. We Are Living in a Trust Recession People are more skeptical than ever. They've purchased programs that overpromised and underdelivered. They've followed experts who weren't what they claimed to be. They've seen marketing messages everywhere. As a result, trust takes longer to build. And in 2026, the coaches who stand out won't necessarily be the ones posting the most. They'll be the ones building trust the deepest. Why Podcasting Creates Deeper Connection A podcast allows people to hear: • Your voice • Your stories • Your perspective • Your energy • Your philosophy They aren't just consuming content. They're building a relationship with you. When someone listens to you for 15, 20, or 30 minutes, they gain a much deeper understanding of how you think and how you help people. That level of connection is difficult to create through a single social media post. Why Podcasting Works So Well for Health Coaches Health coaching is personal. People aren't simply purchasing information. They're investing in support, guidance, accountability, and trust. Potential clients often ask themselves: • Do I trust this person? • Do I feel understood? • Does this approach make sense for me? • Can this coach actually help me? A podcast helps answer those questions before someone ever books a discovery call. Building Authority Through Your Voice Many coaches teach similar topics: • Gut health • Hormones • Weight loss • Blood sugar balance • Stress management • Metabolism • Mindset What makes you different isn't necessarily what you teach. It's how you teach it. Your stories. Your frameworks. Your experiences. Your perspective. Podcasting gives you a platform to showcase those differences and become memorable. The Long-Term Value of Podcast Content Social media content often disappears within hours. Podcast episodes continue working for you. Someone can discover an episode weeks, months, or years later. They can binge multiple episodes. They can spend hours learning from you. That creates a very different relationship than someone who scrolls past a post in seven seconds. The Four Episodes Every New Podcast Needs You don't need to plan an entire year of content. Start with four foundational episodes: Episode 1: Your Story Why do you do this work? What led you here? Episode 2: The Biggest Problem Your Audience Faces What challenge is keeping your ideal client stuck? Episode 3: Your Method or Philosophy How is your approach different? What do you believe that others don't? Episode 4: A Practical Teaching Episode Give listeners a quick win they can implement immediately. One Podcast Can Fuel Your Entire Content Strategy A single podcast episode can become: • A newsletter • Multiple social media posts • Reels • Carousels • Blog content • YouTube videos • Facebook posts • Client resources Instead of constantly wondering what to post, your podcast becomes your content engine. Stop Waiting for Perfect Many coaches delay podcasting because they think they need: • Better equipment • A larger audience • More confidence • Better branding • More experience But clarity comes through action. You get better by recording. You become more confident by using your voice. And your podcast improves every time you hit record. Final Thoughts Your voice is one of the most powerful tools you have. Not because it's perfect. But because it's yours. If you're tired of chasing the algorithm and looking for a more sustainable way to build visibility, authority, and trust, podcasting may be exactly what your business needs. Your future clients don't need another tip. They need to trust the person behind the tip. And a podcast gives you the opportunity to build that trust every single week.

What if you could stop chasing the algorithm and start creating content that continues working for you long after you hit publish? For many health and wellness coaches, content creation feels exhausting. Social media demands constant attention, trends change overnight, and it can feel like you're always creating something new just to stay visible. But what if there was a smarter way? In this episode, I'm joined by Jana Osofsky, marketing expert, content strategist, Pinterest educator, and creator of the High-Leverage Content framework. Jana helps coaches, practitioners, and service providers build a small library of evergreen blog content that attracts leads, nurtures trust, and converts readers into clients on repeat. We dive into her Capsule Blog strategy — a system built around creating just 12–20 highly strategic blog posts that answer your audience's biggest questions, address their objections, and become assets you can use throughout your marketing and sales process. If you're tired of feeling like you're feeding the social media monster every day, this conversation will completely change how you think about content creation. In This Episode, We Cover: • What a Capsule Blog Library is and how it works • Why 12–20 strategic blog posts can outperform hundreds of random posts • How to identify the topics your audience actually needs • The role of belief-shifting content in the buying journey • How to use blogs throughout your sales process • Why repetition builds trust and conversions • The difference between blogging for conversions and blogging for keywords • Jana's "unforced SEO" philosophy • How to repurpose blog content into months of marketing content • Why blogs can make sales calls dramatically easier A Message I Want You to Hear You do not need to create endless content to grow your business. You do not need to publish new posts every day. You do not need to constantly reinvent your message. What you need is clarity. When you know exactly what your audience needs to hear to feel ready to buy, your content becomes more effective, your marketing becomes easier, and your sales process becomes more streamlined. What Is a Capsule Blog Library? A Capsule Blog Library is a collection of approximately 12–20 evergreen blog posts that cover the most important things your audience needs to understand before they feel ready to work with you. Instead of creating endless new content, you build a foundation of high-converting content and use it repeatedly throughout your business. The goal isn't to become a full-time blogger. The goal is to create strategic content that continues generating leads and sales long after it's published. Start With What Your Audience Needs to Hear One of the biggest mistakes coaches make is creating content based on what they feel like talking about. Instead, Jana recommends identifying: • The problems your offer solves • The desires your audience wants most • The beliefs holding them back • The misconceptions preventing them from taking action • The frameworks that make your approach unique When your blog addresses these areas, it naturally becomes part of the buying journey. How to Use Blogs in Your Sales Process Most coaches write a blog post and then move on. Jana teaches a different approach. When prospects ask questions through DMs, email, or discovery calls, she often directs them to a relevant blog post that answers their question in greater depth. This creates trust, demonstrates expertise, and often moves potential clients closer to a buying decision before they ever get on a sales call. As Jana explains, clients who have already consumed your content often arrive on sales calls with fewer objections and greater confidence in your process. Why Repetition Is a Good Thing Many coaches worry about repeating themselves. But repetition is actually one of the most powerful conversion tools available. Your audience needs to hear your core message multiple times before it sticks. Rather than constantly creating brand-new content, Jana encourages business owners to repeat and reinforce their key messages across their blog, email marketing, social media, and sales conversations. Consistency creates clarity. Clarity creates trust. Trust creates sales. The Difference Between Traditional SEO and "Unforced SEO" Most people start blogging by researching keywords. Jana takes a different approach. Instead of beginning with keyword research, she recommends creating content based on what your audience genuinely needs to learn. Over time, this creates authority and trust — both with readers and search engines. She calls this approach "unforced SEO." Rather than chasing keywords, you're creating meaningful content first and allowing search visibility to grow naturally as your authority increases. How to Repurpose Your Blog Content One blog post can become dozens of content pieces. Jana recommends extracting: • Opinion statements • Key teaching points • Frameworks • Stories • Lists • Frequently asked questions These can then become: • Social media posts • Email newsletters • Podcast topics • Presentation topics • Workshop content • Discovery call resources This allows one piece of content to work across multiple platforms and channels. Human Content Still Matters Rachel and Jana also discuss the rise of AI-generated content. While Jana uses AI tools to support the writing process, she emphasizes that human-first content still matters. Your thought leadership, perspective, experiences, and voice are what make your content valuable. AI can help organize ideas, but it should not replace the unique insights that only you can provide. Why Your Blog Belongs on Your Website With platforms like Substack becoming increasingly popular, many business owners wonder where their content should live. Jana's recommendation is clear: Your most valuable content should live on your own website. When your blog lives on your site: • You own the content • You control the customer journey • Visitors can easily learn about your offers • You build authority on your own platform Your website should be your content home base. Final Thoughts The most effective content isn't necessarily the newest content. It's the content that clearly communicates your expertise, answers your audience's questions, and helps them feel ready to take the next step. A Capsule Blog Library allows you to create once and leverage repeatedly. And when used strategically, it can become one of the most powerful assets in your business.

How many times have you been this close to hitting publish… This close to launching your offer… This close to finally putting yourself out there… and then stopped yourself? That something has a name. Fear. In this episode, we're talking about the fears that keep so many coaches stuck — the fear of starting, launching, being visible, being judged, not getting clients, and ultimately… the fear that maybe this won't work for you. Because here's the truth: Fear is not the enemy. Staying silent because of fear is. In this conversation, I'm breaking down the six biggest fears I see health and wellness coaches face and how to move through them without waiting to feel "ready." Because confidence isn't something you magically wake up with. Confidence is built through action. And if you've been waiting for fear to disappear before you start your business, post the video, launch the program, or raise your prices — this episode will shift everything for you. In This Episode, We Cover: • Why fear is the #1 reason coaches stay stuck • The difference between fear and facts • Why "almost ready" keeps you from growing • How perfectionism hides behind launch fear • Why messy action creates momentum • The truth about showing up on video • How fear of judgment keeps coaches invisible • Why your mission has to become bigger than your fear • The real reason some coaches succeed and others quit • 5 practical ways to move through fear today A Message I Want You to Hear You do not need to feel ready to begin. You do not need a perfect website. You do not need more certifications. You do not need to become someone else first. You need to start. Because the version of you that feels confident, visible, and successful is not created through waiting. She is built through action. The Fear of Starting One of the biggest fears coaches experience is the fear of beginning. It sounds like: • "I need one more certification." • "I'll start when my website is done." • "I need more followers first." • "I'm not ready yet." But what's really happening is this: You're not waiting to be ready. You're waiting to feel safe. And readiness is not a feeling — it's a decision. The coaches who succeed are not the ones who waited until everything was perfect. They started messy. They started scared. And they built confidence through movement. The Fear of Launching Launching feels vulnerable because you are putting your work, your knowledge, and your heart into the world and asking people to say yes. And that's brave. So many coaches delay launching because they fear: • Nobody will buy • People will judge the price • They'll hear crickets • They'll fail publicly But a messy launch that signs one client is infinitely more powerful than a perfect program that never gets released. One client creates momentum. One client creates proof. One client changes everything. The Fear of Being Visible on Video Video forces visibility. And visibility can feel deeply uncomfortable. Many coaches believe they need to be: • Perfect • Polished • Confident • Professional-looking But people do not connect to perfection. They connect to realness. Your audience wants to hear your voice, feel your energy, and trust the human behind the brand. That trust is what builds a coaching business. The Fear of Being Judged This fear stops so many incredible coaches from showing up online. What will people think? What if somebody laughs? What if someone from my past sees this? But most of the people we fear judgment from are not our ideal clients. They are people who would never hire us anyway. Meanwhile, the people who actually need your help cannot find you if you stay hidden. Visibility is not vanity. It is service. The Fear of Not Getting Clients This fear often creates behaviors like: • Underpricing • Over-giving • Over-explaining • Discounting before anyone asks At the root of it is one belief: "People won't pay me." But people invest in transformation every single day. The real question is not whether people buy. The question is: Do you believe in the transformation you provide? Because if you don't believe in your value, your audience will feel that. The Fear That You Won't Make It This is the deepest fear of all. The fear that maybe you'll try everything… and still fail. But building a coaching business is not linear. There will be: • Failed launches • Slow months • Moments of doubt • Periods where nothing seems to work The coaches who succeed are not the most talented. They are the ones who stay. They learn. They refine. They ask for help. And they keep going. 5 Ways to Move Through Fear 1. Name the Fear Write it down. Say it out loud. Fear loses power when it becomes specific. 2. Ask: Is This Fear or Fact? Most fear is a story — not evidence. Challenge the story. 3. Take the Smallest Possible Step Momentum matters more than perfection. Post one story. Send one email. Start one conversation. 4. Get Around People Who Are Doing It Fear grows in isolation. Community reminds you that success is possible. 5. Make Your Mission Bigger Than Your Fear Your future clients need you. And your message matters more than your discomfort. Final Thoughts Fear does not mean you are in the wrong business. It means you care. Every successful coach has felt fear. Every successful coach has doubted themselves. Every successful coach has wanted to quit at some point. The difference is they kept moving. So start the thing. Post the video. Launch the offer. Have the conversation. Do it scared if you have to. Just do it. Resources Are you a health coach in need of done-for-you content?

If you've ever felt turned off by pushy sales tactics… If you've tried showing up online but it feels forced, exhausting, or not aligned… This episode is for you. For so long, success in business has been tied to hustle, pressure, and what we now call "bro marketing." But what if you could build a thriving business without pushing, chasing, or burning out? In this episode, I sit down with Elizabeth Munoz, founder of Soulhaven and the visionary behind the Radiant CEO movement — a new model of feminine leadership rooted in nervous system regulation and sustainable growth — to talk about what it really means to sell with soul, reconnect with your body, and build a business that works for you — not the other way around. After losing her corporate career to burnout, Elizabeth rebuilt her life and business from a regulated baseline rather than urgency, and now teaches female entrepreneurs how to scale without self-abandonment. We dive into feminine embodiment, nervous system regulation, and how your energy, not just your strategy, is what truly attracts clients. Because when you feel safe, grounded, and aligned… You don't have to chase — you become magnetic. In This Episode, We Explore: • What feminine embodiment really means • How disconnection from your body impacts your business • The difference between "bro marketing" and soul-led selling • Why nervous system regulation is essential for success • How to create boundaries in business without guilt • The power of intuition in decision-making • How to rebuild trust with yourself through small actions • Why worthiness is the foundation of visibility and sales • How to shift from chasing clients to attracting them • Simple practices to reconnect with your body and energy A Message I Want You to Hear You were born worthy. You don't have to prove yourself. You don't have to earn your value. You don't have to push to be seen. When you reconnect with your body, your intuition, and your truth — you begin to reclaim your power. And from that place… everything changes. Connect with Elizabeth Munoz Website: https://soulhaven.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mselizabethmunoz/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mselizabethmunoz/ Facebook: https://web.facebook.com/MsElizabethMunoz Free Resource: https://ebook.soulhaven.com/toomuchnotenough What Is Feminine Embodiment? Feminine embodiment is the process of coming back home to your body. It's moving from your head — where overthinking, doubt, and pressure live — into your body, your heart, and your intuition. It's about trusting your inner wisdom, honoring your natural rhythms, and allowing yourself to feel instead of constantly performing. Because when you're disconnected from your body, you're disconnected from your power. From Hustle to Alignment Many women were taught to succeed through: • Hustle • Overworking • Constant proving • Pushing through exhaustion But this approach often leads to burnout and disconnection. True success comes from alignment — not force. When your business supports your life (instead of consuming it), everything feels different. Selling With Soul vs. "Bro Marketing" Pushy sales tactics create pressure, scarcity, and distrust. Soul-led selling feels different. It's rooted in: • Service, not pressure • Connection, not manipulation • Trust, not urgency When you know your value and believe in what you offer, you don't need to convince people. You simply share — and the right people are drawn to you. The Power of the Sacred Pause When something doesn't feel right, your body knows. The key is giving yourself space to listen. A "sacred pause" means stepping away from noise, distraction, and pressure — and sitting with your inner voice. Instead of reacting immediately, you allow clarity to come through. And when clarity comes, you move with confidence. Rebuilding Trust With Yourself So many women struggle with trusting themselves. The solution isn't more information — it's small, consistent action. Start with simple commitments: • A short walk • A small task • A daily practice Each time you follow through, you rebuild trust with your body and your intuition. Worthiness and Visibility If you don't feel worthy, you will struggle to be seen. Visibility isn't just about strategy — it's about belief. When you believe you are enough, you show up differently. You speak differently. You sell differently. You attract differently. Nervous System Regulation in Business Your nervous system plays a huge role in how you show up. If you're constantly in stress or survival mode, everything feels harder. Simple practices can help you regulate: • Deep breathing • Stretching in the morning • Slowing down before calls or content • Humming to activate the vagus nerve When your body feels safe, your energy shifts — and people feel that. From Spotlight to Sunrise Traditional marketing feels like a spotlight — limited and competitive. But feminine energy is more like a sunrise. There is space for everyone to rise. When you embrace your authenticity and support others, you create expansion instead of competition. Final Thoughts You don't need to push harder. You don't need to prove more. You don't need to follow strategies that don't feel aligned. You need to come back to yourself. Because when you are fully embodied, grounded, and aligned — your business becomes an extension of who you are. And that is where true success lives.

What can a cheetah and a rescue dog teach us about trust, friendship, and belonging? In this episode, Tricia Friedman sits down with bestselling author Jasmine Warga to talk about her newest book and the powerful themes at its heart: vulnerability, unlikely friendships, and the courage it takes to let someone truly see you. Inspired by a real program in zoos where rescue dogs are paired with anxious cheetahs, Warga's story explores how connection can help both animals—and humans—feel less alone. Through the voices of a cheetah and a dog, the book opens up conversations about anxiety, trust, identity, and the universal desire to belong. Together, Tricia and Jasmine explore how storytelling helps young readers navigate big emotions, why animals can sometimes say things humans cannot, and how asking questions—rather than providing answers—is often the most powerful way to write for young people. They also go behind the scenes of Warga's writing process, from messy notebooks and long walks to the surprising freedom of writing a "zero draft." This conversation is a powerful reminder that the stories we share with young readers can help build empathy, connection, and community.
Rebuilding Trust With Your Body After Infertility When IVF Failed (with Holly Perkins) When IVF failed and fertility treatments ended without a baby, you did not just lose a dream. You often lost trust in your body. After years of hormones, medical procedures, weight changes, and emotional whiplash, it can feel almost impossible to want to care for yourself again. Movement can feel loaded. Exercise can feel like punishment. And sometimes the quiet thought underneath it all is: Why should I take care of you? In Episode 200, you are getting a grounded, practical conversation about rebuilding your relationship with your body after infertility. You will hear from Holly Perkins, a women's fitness expert with 30 years of experience helping women build strength through science-backed, sustainable approaches designed for women in their 30s, 40s, and beyond. This is not about chasing a smaller number on the scale. This is about strength, muscle, metabolism, bone health, and feeling better in your body after everything it has been through. If caring for your body has felt complicated since IVF failed, this episode is for you. What You Will Learn Why it makes sense that self-care feels hard after fertility treatments end. How emotional healing and physical strength support each other. Why "just lose weight" is not the right goal after hormone disruption. What happens to muscle and metabolism in your 40s and 50s. Why muscle is more important than the scale for long-term health. How strength training supports bone density and aging well. What a realistic starting point looks like when you have felt disconnected from your body. A Message You Might Need to Hear You are not broken because it feels hard to care for your body right now. When IVF failed, your body can start to feel like the enemy. This conversation helps you shift from punishment to partnership so you can rebuild trust in a way that feels steady and sustainable. Join Holly's Free 3-Day Workshop: Muscle for Life If you are ready for practical guidance on building strength in a way that fits your life, Holly is offering a free 3-day workshop called Muscle for Life. It starts March 5, 2026! Inside the workshop, you will learn: Why BMI and body weight are outdated metrics. How to think about muscle-to-fat ratio instead of just the scale.

For the second time this year, Alberta's UCP government is lowering the barriers for citizen-led referendum questions while also stripping the Chief Electoral Officer of many powers.This week on West of Centre, host Kathleen Petty is joined by CBC writer and producer Jason Markusoff; Globe and Mail reporter Matthew Scace; and pollster and political analyst Janet Brown.As the UCP tinkers with its legislation yet again, Brown wonders, did the provincial government not think this legislation all the way through? As Scace points out, the new legislation would allow a proposed referendum question to contravene the Canadian Constitution. The province says it is ‘restoring confidence in democratic processes'. To Markusoff, it's the ‘La-La-La We Can't Hear You' Act of 2025.And again, the panel is divided on the possibility of an early election next year in Alberta. But Brown, who for the past year has staunchly argued Premier Danielle Smith won't pull the trigger before fall of 2027, has come around to the possibility that Smith is oiling the mechanism.

What if your worth had nothing to do with your productivity, your pager, or your sacrifice? In the final episode of our Codependence series, we're diving deep into one of the most freeing truths you can learn as a physician (or frankly, as a human): you are more than your usefulness. Many of us in medicine — especially women and those raised in high-demand families — have been praised for being martyrs. We've built entire identities around being the helper, the achiever, the rock. But at what cost? In this conversation, we explore: ✨ The Hidden Trap of the “Martyr” Identity – Why over-functioning feels rewarding… until it doesn't. ✨ How Codependence Distorts Your Sense of Self – And how to reclaim the YOU beneath the role. ✨ Differentiation: The Key to Freedom – Staying emotionally connected without losing yourself. ✨ Practical Steps to Rebuild Your Identity – From inner child work and journaling to creative expression and supportive relationships. ✨ The Worthiness Reframe You Need to Hear – You are not here to be everything to everyone. You are here to be fully yourself. This episode is packed with truth bombs, gentle challenges, and actionable tools to help you shift from people-pleasing and self-sacrifice into authenticity, agency, and healing — for yourself and the people you serve.

Howdy there, I'm Matthew Adams. Have you ever tried to tune into a faint radio station, twiddling with the dial, aiming for clarity? Well, hearing God's voice is a lot like that. But remember, while we're searching for that clarity, it's on the broadcaster's end to send the message loud and clear.Scripture:"My ears you have opened." - PSALM 40:6, NIVOur spiritual journey has many hills and valleys, but the consistent thread is our yearning to connect with the Divine. Much like trying to catch that elusive radio signal, we, as spiritual warriors, position ourselves to hear God's voice. But remember this - if He doesn't open our ears, the message might just get lost in the static.My Reasons To Believe is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Driving Points:* Positioning Ourselves to Hear:You know, it's easy to get caught up in the noise of life, the distractions, the hustle and bustle. Yet, to truly hear God's whisper, we must position ourselves in a space of quiet reflection. This might be a serene morning walk, a meditative prayer, or simply some quiet time in a cherished nook at home.* Trust in His Timing:I've had those moments, staring at the sky, impatiently wondering, "Why aren't You speaking, Lord?" But, much like waiting for rain in a drought, it's not about our timeline but His. In those moments of silence, it's crucial to remember that He's orchestrating a grander design, one we might not always comprehend right away.* Ears Wide Open:God whispers in myriad ways. It could be through the kind smile of a stranger, the gentle rustling of leaves, or even the profound words of a friend. As spiritual warriors, our challenge is to keep our ears wide open, ready to catch those subtle hints and cues from the Divine.Conclusion:Tuning into God's voice isn't just about passive listening. It requires action, intention, and a deep-seated trust that even in the silence, He's right there, guiding our path.Call to Action:Fellow warriors, next time you feel like you're grappling with static, take a pause. Dive deep into silence, reposition yourself, and above all, trust that He's always broadcasting. The onus is on us to fine-tune our spiritual antennas.Prayer:Gracious Lord, bestow upon us the gift of clear hearing. In a world riddled with cacophonies, help us filter out the noise and tune into Your profound whispers. We trust in Your timing, Your purpose, and Your voice. Amen.So, there you have it, folks. In the grand symphony of life, there's always a note, a rhythm, a message waiting to be heard. Let's commit to being those listeners, always poised, always ready. Until next time, stay attuned, stay vigilant, and keep listening. Remember, the best broadcasts are often the ones that require a keen ear. Cheers!

This week, The Axis Effect sits down with Sean Austin, CEO at Helios. Like many companies in the current technological revolution, Austin and his company seek to utilize A.I. in an authentic way that helps lead to further efficiencies and innovation. This utilization comes in the form of voice technology, specifically focusing on the financial sector. As Austin explains, the tone of a voice can impact how listeners interpret information, which is why they've worked to help companies create a voice for earnings calls, assisting listeners to better understand and react to the data presented. Austin discusses how people respond differently to different tones and voices, how using the right agent for the right audience can make a huge difference, and why these factors are incredibly influential.

I received a DM on Instagram (follow me @GirlConfident if you aren't already) from a young lady who found herself in quite the dilemma. For the record my DM's are not open for free coaching. But since I was already thinking about having a segment on the podcast where people can submit questions for me to answer on the show, I wrote her back and told her I'd be willing to offer my feedback as long as she was ok with me doing so on the podcast so that our entire community got the benefit. Thanks to our friend, Gwen (name changed for privacy), this week's bonus episode is on BOUNDARIES. I've spoken about boundaries on the show before, but this is a real life situation that I know is relatable in so many ways. In this Episode You'll Hear: You'll hear Gwen's sticky situation around out of town visitors Why being fair, selfish or selfless don't really matter My own experience with reciprocity A tell-tell that Gwen gave that let me know exactly what she wanted me to say and more!

EP213 From the Vault: EP101 We Want to Hear You! Putting Your Voice Out There Vulnerably In this episode we pulled from the vault, we get into what it looks like when we're afraid to use our voice, why that happens and how to work on it. As we usually talk about on the show, vulnerable emotionally honest conversation IS assertive and healthy, and what creates genuine connection in conversation. We talk about how rediscovering your confident inner four-year-old and beginning to use your voice to express your truth. With kindness, firmness, and the vibe that you are straight with YOU. It's about making your insides match your outsides. It's about allowing yourself to be heard. You believe in you, and now it's time to put that truth out there. Key Elements: · Discuss examples of what it looks like to NOT use your voice. · Identify times when it is healthy and necessary to speak up, and how to do it. · Look at why a good understanding of boundaries and detachment are crucial for assertiveness. Don't hide who you are just because certain people can't handle it. Anyone healthy WANTS you to be authentic out loud. In fact, they require it. Honesty and openness are the best ways to show the world who you are. Resources: DON'T MISS THE FACEBOOK LIVES!

I got so pissed.I don't even understand why I was so rocked by it today of all days because I see this all the time. Well intentioned loving individuals can offer "all knowing" advice from a place where they are wearing horse blinders themselves and don't even know it.Now, listen. I am most certainly not claiming to be an all knowing vessel myself but what I AM claiming is the fact that if anyone is ever pointing you towards anywhere outside of yourself for answers pertaining to your art and your life, it's a no go.There is a sweet spot of being dissatisfied with what you're creating, looking outside for inspiration, and yet still holding center. The more clearly you can hear your own voice and maintain that throughout your learnings and adding to your toolkit, the more powerful and fulfilling the outcome.Be YOU.Do YOU.See YOU.Hear YOU.LIVE YOU.The most work I have had to do is UNLEARNING the constraints I have been taught by people that have learned really well how to do it the way it's always been done.FREE LIVE WORKSHOP SIGN UP: Your Photo Habit = Your Super PowerOur incredible, intimate monthly membership for being present in your life:Nostalgia, Now MembershipMore from Bianca:www.biancaleamorra.comBook Your NLP Breakthrough Session Meditations for Photographic Artists: https://insighttimer.com/biancaleamorraFree weekly coworking: PHOTO yogaMonthly Membership: Nostalgia, Now.IG: @biancaleamorrahttps://www.instagram.com/biancaleamorra/

Ben tried on the sweater and it is too big. Designers instructions were misleading so I ended up with too many stitches for the body. Need to rip back to correct number of stitches because the sweater is too big and I don't think I will have enough yarn to finish. Very frustrating. This project need to be set aside for awhile Troyggja við Mynstur (Sweater with Round Pattern) by Tora Joensen (translated by Kate Gagnon Osborne: I have finished the body and the first sleeve. Washed and blocked the sleeve to be sure the size is correct because it felt tight unwashed. I'm spinning a 2lb bag of Manx Loaghton in my stash. This is a protected breed from the Isle of Man. I am using a woolen spun technique and have spun 5 skeins or approximately 400 yards. Spun three more bobbins that are ready to be plied. Happiness by Kyle Kunnecke using Yarn Snob Power Ball. The skein is massive, weighing 500 grams and 2,187 yards. I wound into three cakes and labeled yarn ends 1-6 so I can keep color order. In order to pull from the outside of cake, which I prefer, I am starting with #6 and working backwards. Kelly's Projects: I'm a little more than halfway done with the shortie socks out of Tomato and Mink Falkland handspun yarn. It's a 3-ply chain plied yarn. I can really see the variations in thickness since chain ply has a tendency to exaggerate the differences. I also have an overplied and unbalanced yarn. This is good for durability in socks, but is also something that can happen in a chain ply. While your fingers are doing the chaining, sometimes your feet don't slow down. I also have a new spinning project with the remainder of the Columbia fleece. I blended this with tussah silk top that I had in my stash. It is spinning up thin so I think I'll make a 3-ply with this. Stash-Busting Blanket Along Listen to the episode to hear the winners. Summer Spin-In Started June 1 and goes until September 5.

Kelly 0:44 Hi, Marsha. How are you? Marsha 0:46 I'm doing well. Kelly 0:47 Good. Marsha 0:48 Well, not really, though. Not really. Kelly 0:50 Oh, really? Marsha 0:51 Well, I'll talk about it when I get... oh, that's my teaser. But anyway, I want to hear how you're doing. Because I know you went on a camping trip. The first real camping trip in the trailer, not the show but a real camping trip. And I want to hear about it. Kelly 1:10 Oh, okay. Well, we got home yesterday. It was a short trip. Because by the time I made the reservations there weren't a lot of sites. You know, the sites that we liked, that we know we liked, that we were familiar with, because we wanted to make sure that it was an easy trip. The sites that we were familiar with were only available until Friday. So we left Tuesday, spent Tuesday night and Wednesday night and then came back yesterday. So it was a fun, quick trip. The weather was gorgeous, gorgeous weather. The campground that we like to go to is called Mount Madonna. And it's on what I think is called Hecker pass, it's a mountain pass through the Santa Cruz Mountains. The the far southern end, I would say, of the Santa Cruz Mountains between Watsonville and Gilroy. Marsha 2:08 Okay. Kelly 2:09 And, and I... the reason I'm making the point about where it is is because I have an idea to to float that we'll probably talk about later on in the podcast. But anyway, the trip was great. The, you know, getting in and out of our driveway part of it was successful, then we stopped at his work to let people take a look at it. And the guys that he works with were really, you know, I mean, it's it's kind of like the .... I don't, I kind of don't get it the same way. Because to me, it's about the camping experience. I mean, I think the trailer is beautiful. But I don't have like, you know how when, when men, and probably some women too... But a lot of times you'll see a classic car. And then there's all these men gathered around the classic car looking at things that I've no idea what they're looking at. Like, that's kind of the way people are when they look at the trailer. And so, you know, going to his work when he got a chance to show it off to the people that he used to work with. And they were super impressed. They'd heard a lot about it, you know, because it's been being worked on... it had been being worked on since well... We got it in December 2020. So you know, it's been a long time coming. Marsha 3:27 Yeah. Kelly 3:27 They'd heard a lot about it and seen pictures and stuff. So they wanted to see the finished trailer. So we stopped there on our way up to to mount Madonna. And the second day, the you know, the only full day that we were there, my mom and Dennis arrived with snacks to christen the trailer and, you know, visit with us because they like camping up there too. But they weren't able to camp that particular weekend because their trailer needs to go in for some work. But they did come up and visit. And I took the dogs on lots of trails and sat and spun. I basically brought my spinning project that I'll talk about and sat in the sun and did some spinning and we ate cheese and crackers when we arrived so we ended up not having dinner that night. And then my mom and Dennis they came with snacks the second day. So we had snacks and didn't have dinner the second day. There was very little cooking we didn't have to do any. Oh, I made tuna sandwiches because I had made some tuna you know some tuna salad was already prepared for the first night and we didn't eat it. So the second night when we were supposed to have barbecued hamburgers. After my mom and Dennis left a little while later we were kind of hungry. So we had tuna sandwiches and so it was easy in terms of, you know, we didn't do the eggs and potatoes or pancakes for breakfast we didn't do barbeque for dinner. There was not a whole lot of cleanup because it was mostly cheese and crackers and chips and salsa and yogurt for breakfast. And so there was lots of time to just sit around and spin and take the dogs for walks. And they did really well. It was Beary's first real camping trip. And he did great. So yeah, it was really fun. Marsha 5:32 So and then where you camp at Mount Madonna. Is it...Do you plug into services or? Kelly 5:39 Yeah Marsha 5:40 Did you have to bring your own water? Okay, so you have water and electricity. Kelly 5:43 Right. Marsha 5:43 Well,okay. Kelly 5:43 Yeah, they have hookups. They call them partial hookups, it doesn't have sewer hookup. You dump the sewer, and gray water, black water and gray water tanks. When you leave, there's a dump station where you do that. So we got to do that for the first time. Because we didn't have that in our old trailer. You know, our gray water just went into a five gallon you know, a five gallon... It wasn't a bucket, it was like a jug. You know, grey water went into a five gallon jug and we didn't have a bathroom. So there was no black water tank. So but yeah, we had electrical hookup. And we had water hookup. City water, they call it. So yeah, we had all the all the hook up stuff that we needed. Today I'm sitting in the trailer to record. I don't, I probably won't do this a lot, because we did get a cover for it. So he's going to keep it covered. But I thought oh, I'll record in the trailer today. It's beautiful outside. It's actually a little warm in the trailer because Robert had some of the windows closed but it's going to be in the 80s today, maybe it already is. So anyway, I'm sitting at the trailer table and and I'm testing out the inverter because I've got my phone plugged in and I've got my computer. It's the first time I've plugged in something more than a phone, which you can charge off of the 12 volt system battery. So right now I'm running my computer, it's it's plugged in and it's being you know, being powered by the solar. Marsha 7:31 Okay, pretty cool. Kelly 7:33 Robert's got a small solar power panel that he uses for what he calls trickle charging when it's just sitting in our driveway. So the batteries don't get overused but they also don't go dead. And then we have the larger solar panel that we haven't used in a camping trip yet. We didn't need them because we had power hookup at Mount Madonna. But Mount Madonna also has tent campsites and we went around and scoped out the sites with no services. I mean they have they have bathrooms, obviously, and they have water but you have to go to the place where the faucet is and fill up and bring it back. And we went and scoped out those areas to find some of the sites. We marked down some of the sites that are long enough for, you know, for our trailer and the truck to both be off the road, off the main road. So those campsites there were a few that we're going to probably try out if, you know, the main area is full or if we just want to get into a more quiet area or just to try it because we haven't Marsha 8:49 yeah you can go off grid you're self contained so to speak. Kelly 8:55 Yeah we don't need the electricity or the water so yeah, yeah, it should be really fun. Marsha 9:04 Well I thought it was really cool, too, that, you know, the one thing that you have not finished for the trailer is the curtains that are gonna go at the windows. That's down the line but the... your sort of... your stop gap measure is you put up all your vintage linens like tablecloths and stuff as sort of temporary curtains. I thought they were so cute. Kelly 9:27 Yeah, in fact I have the one sitting here. I'm gonna have to prevail on my more experienced weaver friends and some of the people who do more technical work because (and I'll put a picture in the show notes, in fact I'll text it to you while we're talking maybe). So this one tablecloth and I think this is one that came from the batch that you gave me when you were going through all of your all of your stuff. Marsha 9:56 Oh, right. Kelly 9:57 It's so... it's it's linen. It's a small tablecloth, a small table tablecloth, but every corner has this really interesting detail. And some of it is actual like cut out and and then bound. Or I guess it's possible that it's not cut out. That just the warp and weft threads are just bound to make pretty good sized, like quarter inch square, holes. And then some of it is just in the hemstitch, which I haven't ever done. But I'd like to try. I think that it's not that difficult. And I know I can find instructions for it. And then there's also this other mesh detail that is... I've done some woven lace, but this is actually with thread you come back after the fact. And you use threads to wrap the warp threads and the weft threads so that you've got these holes. Like it pinches in. Marsha 11:07 Yeah. Kelly 11:08 It pinches in the warp threads and it pinches in weft threads and then you get these little holes. So anyways, very interesting construction. And I'd really... there's not enough. I used this one tablecloth in one of the windows, like folded over. But there's not enough even for that one window. Well, I guess... I guess there would be for that one window. But I would like for the two windows that are across from each other in the bedroom to be at least similar. Marsha 11:43 Yeah, yeah. Kelly 11:44 So and I don't think I want to cut this one up, because it's just pretty. But anyway, I'd like to reconstruct this fabric or do some kind of facsimile of this, of this sort of fussy, fussy work. Weave something and then try that. I think it would be really kind of a fun challenge for those two bedroom windows. And then the kitchen window--and I'm not sure where it came from, it might have been a piece that I bought somewhere else. It's like a table runner, but it only has lace on one lengthwise edge. And so I don't know maybe like a buffet? You know, something that was against the wall, you would put it on that and it would hang with the lace part hanging over the front. And I just sewed a little sleeve for the for the curtain rod and used it as a kitchen curtain. The kitchen window has two crocheted lace panels that are sewn between linen fabric. And it's really cute, it's a bit too long. And I think when I'm going to do... I didn't... All I did was put a sleeve in the top of it for the rod. So it's just one panel, one piece going across the whole window. And I think... I can't decide whether I want to do it as a valance and just have one piece going across the top of the window as a valance or if I want to cut it down the center and be able to split them for the kitchen window. But I think that one will stay. I think that one in some form. Not the form is in now, but in some form that one is going to stay Marsha 13:26 okay Kelly 13:27 in that kitchen window because it is really cute. And it's the perfect size whether I make it into a valance or split it down the middle. It's it's really the perfect size. So that one will stay and then the other one that I thought was really funny is there's a dresser scarf and I think the dresser scarf also came from the stuff that you gave me. Marsha 13:51 Okay. Kelly 13:52 And one edge of it has crocheted lace that says Mother and so I hung it up in the window with the side that said Mother facing into the bedroom and my mom was laughing. She's like, I'm not sure you want your mother in the bedroom. [laughing] Marsha 14:14 Yeah, really. But you can't get into too much trouble on that bed, Kelly! [laughing] Kelly 14:23 With the word mother right over your head. [laughing] Marsha 14:26 Yeah, really. Kelly 14:29 It was really... it was... it's a really cute piece and it has plain lace on the other side. So the outside of the window had the plain lace showing. The inside of the window had the lace that had the word mother on it. So very fun. And then I used one of my I... wanted to cover the front window. Well really I wanted to keep the curtain rod from falling out. And so I put another vintage tablecloth in. I had one with flowers on it in the front window hanging up, and you know, a floral one, and then we just used that one on the table while we were, you know, while we were there. So yeah, yeah, we had a really a really good time. So the thing...Oh, Bailey's barking in the background because the mailman just came. The thing that I was thinking as we were there, because they do have the tent sites. And they also have yurts for people who didn't typically do camping, but I was thinking it would be fun to have a little camping meet up. Marsha 15:39 Oh, yeah. Kelly 15:40 And, and we could provide, again, for people who didn't necessarily do camping or have camping equipment. You know, we could do you know, here at the, at the trailer, we do coffee in the morning. And so people have their coffee, and then we could do dinners. You know, barbecue dinners, and some people would, who didn't camp typically could, you know, still eat. [laughing] We wouldn't need to worry about you know, about bringing a camp stove or, or that kind of stuff. You could get by with minimal equipment. You know. Marsha 16:16 Yeah, yeah. Kelly 16:16 That's what I was thinking. If you wanted to you could rent one of the yurts, or get one of the tent sites, or if you have an RV, bring an RV. So, you know, I don't know how many people that would actually turn out to be. Probably not very many. But I thought that might be kind of a fun thing to look into. Marsha 16:33 So, yeah, we'll think about that. Kelly 16:35 Yeah, yeah. I really enjoy that campground, because it's very close to our house. And, you know, it's in the woods. But it's not like the wilderness. And then on our way...I won't get off the camping thing! But on our way to Black Sheep gathering we're going to stay at a couple of Harvest Host sites. Kelli, that we met at Stitches, had recommended Harvest Host and I looked into it and decided to get a membership. So we're going to be staying at two places. One is a rice farm on the way up, and the other one is a winery. So I'll have to report back on how that goes. But that should be fun. It'll be at first. I've never done that kind of camping, where you just pull up at somebody's business and park in their parking lot. So yeah, Marsha 16:45 It'll be interesting. Kelly 16:57 Yeah, yeah, Marsha 17:07 How fun. Kelly 17:37 I'll definitely report back. Marsha 17:39 So yeah, well, I remember Kelli talking about it. She was really excited about it. She said it was just really, really fun. So Kelly 17:47 It's perfect for a trip where, you know, where you're on the go, because it's a one night experience. You don't stay there multiple nights. And that's not something that we've done a lot of either. You know, the trip up to Black sheep is probably the one of the those... that's one of the only types of trips where we've done the camp one night, then pack up and go kind of camping. We usually, wherever we're staying, we stay a little longer than that, even if we're moving on, you know? Marsha 18:18 Yeah. Well, I'm excited because I will see it at the end of this month, just two weeks, I think, or so I'll see it. Kelly 18:26 Yeah, yeah. Marsha 18:27 Anyway. Okay, should we move on? I don't want to cut this off, because it's super interesting and fun, but I don't. Should we move on? Move on to our next topic? Kelly 18:39 Yes. Let's move on to our next topic. There was some fiber content in there though. I have to say because I did talk about lace curtains and possible weaving. [laughing] Marsha 18:47 Yeah, Yeah, it is. Well, I think the trailer is just, it's just fun. It is just super fun. So. Okay, so before we get to projects, we just want to mention that Jul Designs coupon code for 15% off any of their products is still available. It's still going on. And just go to Jul Designs website, there's a link in the show notes and just use the coupon code TWOEWES and that's all caps. And so check that out. Did you buy your... Kelly 19:24 No I have not yet. I keep thinking I need to go in there and do it and I haven't done it. But I was looking there today as I was putting my stuff in the show notes. And I found a couple of things that I like, so I'm going to do that before we-- before I put the computer away today. And then also I noticed that she has a blog post series. Laura Bellows who has Jul Designs. She's an anthropologist, I think, and anyway, she has this blog post series on wearing a Balinese sarong and I saw the title and I saw the pictures and I bookmarked it, because I want to go back in and read it. It looks like it's like three, three or four posts on the different aspects of of that and I thought, well that's very interesting. Because, again, fabric right? Marsha 20:17 Fabric Kelly 20:20 So, so yeah, take a look at her her blog posts and take a look at her-- all of her different shawl pins and shawl collars and different closures and, and such.

Oh, and I see I just scrolled down to the next page. Ann Gi is also a patron. Thank you, Ann Gi! She's been a patron for quite a while. And so sorry that she was missed! Marsha 23:20 Sorry. I didn't scroll down far enough. So sorry, Ann Gi. Kelly 23:24 All right. Well, with that said, What about your projects? Marsha? We'll go from up note to maybe a down note? Marsha 23:37 Oh, yes. So here's what I have to say about both my projects. The first one. So I'm going to talk first about the sweater I'm making for my son. And I'm using my hand spun. And have you ever heard Kelly of the law of attraction that you say, you tell, you say something out to the universe, and the universe gives it back to you. You have to be careful what you say because it can give you positive things, it can give you negative things. So I'm sort of laughing about this because one of the things I kept saying is how much I enjoy knitting with my handspun. But well, the universe has given me the gift of knitting the sweater for the third time. So I will just back up and just say So, bottom line, I'm taking this sweater and I'm setting it aside for a while. And I just did a note, too, about my brother's sweater. I'm kind of setting that aside for a little bit too. So the sweater I'm making for my brother, or excuse me for Ben. This is the... Do you remember? Not to rehash this whole thing but first I started making the phrancko.com sweater that didn't work out because of my gauge. So I now started doing the unpattern by Karen Alfke. And this is the raglan pullover from the top down, where you actually just take your measurements. And basically, it's the same idea of what Frank Jernigan is doing, or Amy Herzog used to do, where you, it's like, you know, the computer does the math. In this case, I'm doing the math. But we talked about this in the last episode, about the pattern. When you get to the part where you're, you're increasing for the sleeves and the body. There's an error in the pattern. I'm calling it an error. Somebody else may not say it's an error. But when you're figuring out how many stitches to have on the arm and have for the body, it says, you do your math, and times the gauge, you know, whatever it equals and then it says front or back goal stitches: 176. Kelly 25:48 Yeah. Marsha 25:49 And I kept knitting beyond I kept knitting. Because it said front and back. Kelly 25:56 No, it said, front or back. Marsha 25:58 Right, it said, front or back. I read that as I needed 176 stitches on both the front and the back. Kelly 26:05 Each, right? 176 stitches each. Marsha 26:08 Yes. Each. For the front, 176 stitches and for the back. What it really should be, instead of saying front or back goal stitches, it should say front and back, right. So I need a total for the whole body, front and back combined of 176. I have, because we caught this when I was down there for when I was down in California at your house going to Kelly 26:37 stitches or NoCKRs? Marsha 26:41 I believe it was NoCKRs. And you said, we decided, we added up my stitches, and I have 224. Kelly 26:49 Right. And we caught it because you were so far down. It was like you had... you still weren't ready to split for the split the arms off of the body. But you were far enough down that it looked like you should be splitting the arms off the body. Marsha 27:07 If I continued to the point where I should split the arm holes I would be at the waist. Right? Kelly 27:13 Almost. Marsha 27:13 That's an exaggeration. But that was right. That was the-- that was our clue. Kelly 27:18 And then you said, wait a minute, if I keep going, this is going to be way too long. Right? And then we started looking at the pattern. Marsha 27:26 And right and you caught the the mistake and the pattern. So but we had that conversation, you know that moment? And you have this conversation? We convinced each other? Yes. So they should just stop and keep going. Right? Kelly 27:42 Because how many stitches did you have on each? Marsha 27:45 I had 224 total for the body combined. And if I had continued What's two times 176? It's 252? No, it's more than it's more than 300. Yeah, that's right. And so, Kelly 28:07 So you said so you were supposed to have 176 all the way around, and you had 224 all the way. So you had essentially you had about 50 extra stitches. Yes. How did we can convince ourselves that was ok? Marsha 28:24 Well, and this is what I'm gonna... so this is what I'm gonna say. To finish it, we convinced... we have this conversation. You're like you said I think it's going to be okay, . Kelly 28:34 How far would you have to rip it back?, Marsha 28:35 But it will be ok. Kelly 28:38 Oh, that's too far to rip back. That, you know, oh, that would be unpleasant number of rows to rip. So Marsha 28:46 So. Yes, I should have just ripped back then. Because I knit the entire body. Kelly 28:52 Right. Marsha 28:53 And half of the first sleeve by the time he came home. And I tried it on him. Kelly 28:59 Yeah. Marsha 28:59 And it's way too big. Kelly 29:03 Well, and to be fair to you, he gave you a sweater that he liked as a template. And holding the sweater you were knitting up to the sweater that he liked as a template, they looked about the same size. Marsha 29:21 Yeah. Kelly 29:21 But the sweater that he liked as a template is alpaca and drapey and thinner machine knit. And it's fine yarn--alpaca. Marsha 29:31 And it's also that style where it's basically you know, the body is a square, and then the and then the arms just stick off and so here's my the moral of the story. When you have that feeling, and you know what you should do, you should just do it then. Kelly 29:49 Yes, when you have that feeling and you say, Oh, I Oh, gosh. ripping all of that out. I really don't want to do that. I think it'll be okay. That phrase, I think it'll be okay. Should be a trigger. It won't be okay. You need to rip it out. Marsha 30:07 Yeah. Kelly 30:08 I'm so sorry. Marsha 30:10 I know. So he tried it on. I don't know now, it was two weeks ago or so when he was here. Kelly 30:17 Yeah, right after our last episode, I think. Marsha 30:19 Yeah, it was Memorial Day weekend, I think. You know what, I don't remember because I was so upset that I sort of had to go to bed. No, I'm kidding. But I did I have that feeling like-- that feeling like, I'm gonna cry. Yeah, I feel like I'm gonna cry. And I think I should go get in bed and cry. But no, I'm a I'm a, I'm a grown woman. And I'm going to now go out and take the dog for a walk or do something else. And I'm just gonna set it aside and not think about it for a while. And then I have to just, I was and I was very angry at Karen. And it's not her fault, because well, I don't know if it's... No, I can't blame her. But it's just the way the pattern is written. It's not-- it is not clear. It's a mistake in the pattern. And I didn't catch it. You know? Yeah, you have to actually be thinking, I mean, you have... Because I just couldn't figure out how you could have gone so wrong from the pattern. And then, so then I took the number of stitches that were supposed to be what I thought just the front and divided by your gauge to see how many inches that was supposed to be. And realized it was the 40 inch circumference that you needed. Yeah, like, Okay, well, if it's not an error, it's at least a place where things are unclear enough that it should be changed. Yeah, but So, Karen lives in the Pacific Northwest. And I know she's a friend of my friend Kim. And so if I ever see her, I promise I will be nice to her. [laughing] Kelly 31:55 Your mad won't last too long. Marsha 31:58 It won't last and honestly, the truth is, once I rip the sweater out, yeah. for the second time. Kelly 32:05 Yeah. Marsha 32:05 And reknit it for the third time... Kelly 32:07 Karen, if you're listening, Marsha will be okay. Marsha 32:10 I promise I'll be kind but... And as I say, once I rip it back and start over again I now it's really clear what my mistake is. Okay, I'm crossing my-- you can't see me but I'm crossing my fingers. Kelly. Hopefully I'll be okay. And I won't have to knit it again. Kelly 32:28 Yeah. Knock on wood right now. So Marsha 32:32 yeah, knock on wood. Kelly 32:34 Everybody out there. Knock on wood for Marsha. Marsha 32:36 It's funny because I was reading the our posts in on Ravelry in the discussion thread, like when you posted the episode, and then people make comments, and I don't remember now who it was, I'm drawing a blank. Someone said, I'm so sorry that Marsha is having these problems that I talked about in the last episode with my brother's sweater. And I was laughing. I thought, you don't know the half of it. I had been. Yeah. Anyway, I will have the joy of knitting with my handspun a third time. Kelly 33:08 It's a good thing you like that yarn. [laughing] Marsha 33:10 Yeah, really? But I'm not going to say that anymore. Because it got me into big trouble. I think. So anyway. Okay, so now moving on to my other sweater that's a problem. And this is the sweater with round pattern. Or Kelly, how are you pronouncing it? Kelly 33:30 Well, we have a pronunciation audio from Cat. And it actually isn't sweater with round pattern. It's well, she'll, we'll play it. So we'll put the audio in right here. Cat 33:42 Hi, Kelly. Hi, Marsha. I believe it's "Tro-cha vee min-stur" Trocha: sweater. Vee: with. Min-stur is pattern. And I looked it up in the Faroese dictionary and I'll send it to you. Mynstur means any pattern, not necessarily a round pattern. It could also mean a pattern for for weaving, for embroidery. Depending on the context. In this case, it would be a pattern for knitting. Marsha 34:12 Okay, so, Cat, thank you for that. Yes, that really helps us out. Okay. What's going on with that sweater? I have, as you know, now, this is the second time I've, I mean, I switched to this pattern. I've knit the body up. This is a bottom up. So I've knit up the body up to the armholes. I've set that aside and started the sleeves. Kelly 34:34 and you've blocked it. Washed it and blocked it and checked it out that it fits. Marsha 34:37 Yes. Yes. And so I did it halfway through so that's why the pictures of it in Ravelry there's this weird line. Okay, body set aside. I started the first sleeve. Didn't like it because I was... oh, let me back up. The sleeve you're supposed to cast on and knit the cuff. Then you do some color work, work in stockinette, right above the cuff, and then you knit the main color up to the armhole, set that aside, do the same thing with the second sleeve, then attach the sleeves to the body and knit the yoke. My concern about that is, once that's done, you cannot adjust the length of the sleeves Kelly 35:18 without ripping everything out Marsha 35:20 without having to rip out the yoke. Yeah. So I what I decided to do is a provisional cast on with one row of the one of the contrast. The colorwork... the cuffs are supposed to be in the navy blue. So I decided to do one row of the navy blue and then start the colorwork. And that was a disaster because you're doing it, you know, magic loop. And the tension was terrible. It was all over the place. Kelly 35:51 And you have no base to hold on to while you're doing the colorwork. Yeah. Marsha 35:55 Right. So I ripped that out. I cast on again, provisional cast on. I did three rows of stockinette in the blue, the navy blue, which is going to be the cuff color, because I thought, what will... and then I knit the color work. And I did about an inch of the main color. And I realized, I don't like the color work because the everything is knit on size eight. But what I've decided to do with the yoke, is I'm going to knit that on nines, and I forgot to switch to nines for the color work sleeve. So I ripped it out back to the... it was not as horrible, but I had to rip it back out to the three rows of the Navy of the stockinette. And then I reknit the color work on nines. And then I switched back to eights and I've done most of the sleeve, I would say it's three quarters done. And I thought it feels a little tight. Kelly 36:57 Oh no. Marsha 36:59 I don't know what's gonna happen. But I decided I'm putting it on waste yarn, and I washed and blocked it. So I did that yesterday. So it's sitting there drying. And so I I just want to make sure. Kelly 37:12 Yeah. Marsha 37:13 I don't want to finish that sleeve and do the second sleeve and have them too tight. So Kelly 37:20 oh my gosh! Marsha 37:22 All I can say is, what the hell? [laughing] I hate... I hate these projects. I hate these projects. So just to help myself I...So Ben's sweater's being set aside for a while. My brother's sweater is going to be set aside for a while. I just need to take a break from it. And anyway, I decided to cast on something else. So Kelly, guess what I cast on. Kelly 37:53 Something for you. Marsha 37:55 Something for me! And just the name alone is gonna make me happy. It's called Happiness. Kelly 38:00 Yes. Marsha 38:00 And the designer is Kyle Kunnecke and I'm using the big giant baby that I bought at stitches, Yarn Snobs Powerball, and it has all these colors in it. It's so interesting. I will post pictures, too. It weighs... this skein of yarn weighs 500 grams, it's 2187 yards and it was a bit of a challenge to get it onto the swift. And then I wound it into three cakes and what I did is because if you-- if you break it, well... First of all I have to say this is amazing yarn. I'm kind of curious how he's able to get 500 grams and over 2000 yards with not a single break and there's no knots at all and so it's a continuous piece of yarn. I don't know how he dyes it so beautifully given that it's so thick. I mean he's got the color goes all the way through. It's amazing how it's clearly when you open it up into the hank it's it's that's how it was dyed. it was not dyed in another form and then wound into that hank, you know. You can see it's been dyed in that hank. Yeah. Is that was not reskeined. No Yeah. Well anyway, so Kelly 39:23 Hard enough to skein it in the first place before you dye it! Marsha 39:28 So what I did is... I... but I wanted... It may not be important to keep the color order given the way this thing is sort of this very, very crazy, chaotic color, you know, it may not be necessary. Kelly 39:40 I think it's necessary. Marsha 39:42 Well, I wanted to keep the color order. So what I did is I wound it into three balls, but I put a piece of tape like painters tape on the beginning of the yarn, but as I started taking it off the swift I put it in-- I labeled that end 1 and I put it in so the end 1 now is on the inside of my cake. And end 2 is on the outside of my cake. Right, so then I break that, and then I put a tape on the next the piece that's coming off of the swift, that's 3 that's now wound on that's on the inside of a cake, and 4 is on the outside of my cake. And then the third one, end 5 is on the inside. And end 6 is on the outside. I like to pull from the outside. So I can't pull from the outside of the first cake that is labeled one and two, because two is on the outside. So I'm starting at the very end. So I'm starting with the third cake, which is end starting with six, which then five will be in the center. Then I'll go to two, 4, which is on the outside. 3 is on the inside. And then the last cake 2 is on the outside and 1 is on the inside. Does that make sense? Kelly 41:06 Yeah. And that's I think going to be really important because the cakes of yarn actually look very different. Marsha 41:14 It's true. And the the first one I wound off and the last one I wound off look the most similar. The one that's right in the middle is darker, it has more black in it. So I think I think it is important to keep the order. Kelly 41:32 Yeah, because that way you don't have to alternate skeins, it'll just go along the patterning of the skein. And whatever the differences are, they will change naturally, the way the skein changeds as opposed to abruptly if you weren't going in that order. So I think that's a smart way to do it, Marsha. Marsha 41:55 Yeah, so I already started knitting on it. I'm so much happier. It's on size four. So it's a nice, it's a smaller needle. Because the other thing I need to mention that I did finish my garter squish blanket over Memorial Day weekend, the deadline to finish it was May 31. And I believe I finished it on May 30 with a day to spare. But that was knit on 13s and that's like, it really feels you can't really get a rhythm knitting with those, because they're so big. So I'm very happy with this so far. And I've just knit. Let's see, I'm knitting on it now. And I have to do two inches of ribbing, and then I'll switch to stockinette. And so I...this is what I'm planning to bring to Black Sheep Gathering the end of the month. So I can just knit mindlessly on it and talk to people and not look at those other two sweaters. Kelly 42:52 I think that's a really good plan. And the thing about this one is that it's a nice kind of boxy sweater with a lot of positive ease. So that's a lot of stitches going around and around in stockinette. So it'll be it'll be perfect knitting for a long time. Marsha 43:12 Yeah. Kelly 43:14 And I think everybody probably has the size needle that they feel the most comfortable with. Or the range of needle size that they feel the most comfortable with. I really like my sock needles at the low end. And then I like threes. Like threes, fours. That's a twos threes, fours that's a really nice size for me. It feels they feel right in my hand. Where when I'm knitting with five fives or sixes for a hat, it's not that I don't enjoy it. But it's always nice to get back to my little needles. Marsha 43:49 Yeah, yeah. Kelly 43:51 So that's that'll be good, too. It's right in your your comfort knitting zone. Yeah, well, that's good. I'm excited about it. I think it'll be I think it'll be a good project for you. It sounds like you're excited about it. The colors are great. Marsha 44:07 And then I have been spinning on the Manx Loaghton. And I've been spinning on that and I'm planning on bringing my wheel and that to Black Sheep Gathering and mostly spinning, I think. Kelly 44:21 Oh, good. Marsha 44:22 That's it. And then as I say finished project, I finished my garter squish. That's my only finished project. Kelly 44:27 and it turned out nice. Marsha 44:29 Yeah. It's nice. Kelly 44:30 How do you-- have you put it next to your other two? To like, see how it compares and what you like? Like, how do you like them compared to one another? Or are there like, this is the first one that you've done with flat colors? Marsha 44:47 No, it's the second. Kelly 44:48 Oh, the second one. That the first one you did was also was the Cascade. Marsha 44:54 The first one was flat. The main color was like a blue like a I don't know what color blue you would call that one Kelly 45:00 Not quite navy-- kind of between the Navy and kind of a darker royal blue? Not so bright as a royal blue, but not so Navy. Marsha 45:10 And and then this one, it had brighter colors more. Not really natural colors. The contrasting one? And then the second one I did is when we dyed all the yarn so we had the gradient and then all the painted variegated. And then the this one that I just completed the background was a brown, then all the colors are like sage and orange. And I don't know, it looks more like the first one. Kelly 45:43 Yeah. Marsha 45:44 And ironically, I what I really would like to do is I would like to do one where the the, the main color is just a cream or a natural color like yours. That's what I-- but I found that's what I wanted to do. But you know, I had all that yarn. The first one it was using the yarn from my dad's sweater. And then the one that I just finished, I had a lot of just undyed yarn, and I dyed it because I Kelly 46:16 because the solid was the brown. Like you've always had a different solid. Marsha 46:21 Yes. But actually now I'm kind of thinking I could have. Well, no, that really wouldn't, because even the natural colored yarns were all slightly different. I didn't have a consistent... I was thinking what I could have done is just reversed it. And the one that yarn that was sort of the... No, I did it the right way, because the yarn that I dyed for the background was all kind of camel colored, right? It wasn't natural. Yeah, yeah. So anyway. Kelly 46:44 Well, you'll have to put a fourth one on your needles Marsha 46:49 I cannot do a fourth one, ugh! Kelly 46:50 No, you know what you should do? The next one you do, because I think there will be another one in your future at some point. Not in the near future. Yeah, I'm sure there'll be another one. Do that one that is the, I think it's called the sediment throw. Where you go corner to corner? Marsha 47:07 Yes. Um, I was thinking about that. And then the other one I'm thinking of is, there's the one for my brother that he wants. Kelly 47:19 You're not doing any projects for other people for a while. Marsha 47:22 No. Kelly 47:23 I'm gonna lay down that law for you, Marsha. [laughing] Marsha 47:25 I know. But the one I really want to make is... I'm sorry, I should have been... because I didn't know we were going to be talking about this in depth. Let me look at my patterns... Kelly 47:37 Well, a lot of people did the habitation throw. Marsha 47:42 I'm looking for the one that I... because I've been pulling out yarn for it. Anyway, there's the one for my brother. And that's all with the Noro. And I don't really have I don't have any Noro. So I have to figure that one out. I was scrolling through my patterns. I can't find it. It but anyway, basically, it's like chevrons, kind of, you just use sock weight yarn that you and so that's when I was sort of thinking of using that. And I was actually thinking because I have so much sock weight yarn like scraps. But I also have a lot of sock weight yarn that I bought single skeins, that I don't really like them. I don't want a shawl out of them. I don't want to make socks. I was thinking I would put that all into the blanket, but I have, you're supposed to use about 500 grams. To make the blanket. Total to make the blanket. I was sort of thinking maybe what I would do is hold the sock weight yarns double and go up a needle size. And so I could use some of those one off skeins that I don't really like very much. So anyway, Kelly 48:52 I think it's a perfect solution. Holding yarn double is a perfect solution to using the partials or well, partial skeins that are leftover but also full skeins of, of yarn that you bought that you don't need another pair of socks or you weren't in love with it anymore. Marsha 49:13 Yeah. I'm hoping I get my Juju back. Kelly 49:15 Well, focus on your sweater first because that is, I think, that is just such a fun pattern. That sweater is cute. The yarn is great. It's comfortable knitting because you just start doing stockinette around and around until you're sick of it. Marsha 49:36 Yeah. So I think I have these you know, my brother's sweater and Ben sweater are sitting in my bedroom in their project bags. I think I'm gonna go put them in the closet. Kelly 49:44 I think you should. Yes, put them away where you don't have to look at them and feel any kind of guilt or? Marsha 49:49 Yeah. Anyway. So let's go into more positive things. We'll finish my projects and go into your projects. Kelly 49:57 Okay, well, there's not much to say This will be short. I'm making a pair of shorty socks. And I'm using a hand spun yarn that I've that I've actually used before for socks. It's out of a fiber was Falkland, which, it's not as soft as I would expect Falkland to be. But there's not, you know, it's not horrible. Just when people talk about Falkland a lot of times they talk about how soft it is. But anyway, it's Tomato and Mink, or Mink and Tomato was the colorway. I don't now remember where I got it. But it was a number of years ago, maybe 2013 or 14, something like that. And I spun it up and last summer or the summer before I made a pair of regular socks out of it. And I had spun it for socks, I made a three ply, so it's long color repeats, it's a chain ply. One thing I will comment about chain ply because there was a little bit of discussion about it on the Ravelry group this morning. One thing about chain ply, it definitely magnifies your inconsistencies. So I have some places where this yarn is super, super thin, like a lace weight. It's a three ply, but super, super thin, because my fiber got thin. And then you're putting the three thin fibers together and you do the chain ply, so it's thin. And then in the thicker area, you know, because when you're chain plying, you're plying areas that are close together, I'm plying three, three thicker strands. And then I've got a thicker yarn, so it's more like a sport. So this yarn varies from a really thin lace weight to about to sport weight. Which is fine, it makes a nice sock. It's not you know, it's honestly this is one of the things I try to tell people is that those kinds of inconsistencies, you think they look big in the skein or in the yarn, but once you knit with them, even in stockinette, I'm really not seeing that kind of inconsistency in my knitting. So it doesn't show. The other thing about the chain ply is you have a tendency to over spin it. Because your feet... you need, you really need as your hands slow down if you get, you know, stuck or you miss the chain, or you just need a little extra time. And you don't also slow down your feet, you get it over spun over plied. And this yarn is pretty overplied. I mean, it's like kinking on itself as I'm trying to knit with it. And you know, it's been washed. And a lot of times when you wash an over plied yarn, it does relax quite a bit. But this I'm a lot of times having to, you know, pull out the kinks, as I'm knitting. The places where it's pigtailed onto itself. That's really good and I did it on purpose. Well, it's a it's a good feature to have for sock yarn, because it makes the sock yarn more durable. But it is a little bit annoying to knit with. And it is a feature of chain plying, if you're not really careful, you can get you know, you can get things over plied when you don't mean for them to be. But these are just a pair of shorty socks, and they're not going to match because they're with the leftover balls. And these are... so one of them has a gray cuff, the other one has a gray and orange striped cuff. And then half the foot is gray and other half the foot is orange. And this one I've got a gray cuff and an orange part of the foot. And then I have only gray left. So it'll only have one orange stripe or the other one has, I think two or three places on it that there's orange. So these are really long pattern repeats which again is another one of those features of chain ply is that you can get those long-- or not pattern repeats, color repeats, you know, long stretches of color. So they're self striping, but the stripes are about four inches in some places. Yeah. So that's my socks. And then I have a new spinning project. So I'm using up the remainder of the Columbia fleece. I had been using the Columbia and the Oxford. Spinning those up, I spun those all. I had spun those in the past two summers and then used them for my garter squish. And then I I'd used up all of the Oxford in the final part of my garter squish. And so then I started with the rest of the Columbia fleece and I carded it and I added in tussah silk. So I have this tussah silk top I had bought like a pound or eight ounces of it or something a long time ago. It was in my stash, I got it out and I just, you know, blended that in as I was carding, and it is nice. This fiber's really nice. I have these batts. And you can see, like, I blended the silk, I tried to blend this out pretty well. But there are places where you've got like this strand of like silk fiber running through it. That's just super pretty and fun to spin. There's a lot of silk content, I tried to get 50/50. But I couldn't. I only wanted to do three passes through the carder, and I couldn't get 50% silk into the fiber in just three passes. So that's alright, it has enough silk in it. It's going to be really nice. And it's spinning up pretty thin. So I'm probably going to make it into a three ply, but I don't know, I might two ply it and use it for a shawl or something. I'm not sure how much I'll have when I get when I get done. Marsha 56:04 Yeah. Kelly 56:05 And I think in this case, I am going to spin all the singles first and then decide if I want to do I want a two ply. Or do I want a three ply? How much yarn? How much of this yarn do I want? And then I think I'll also dye it after the spinning is finished. Because that'll be interesting because the dye will take differently on the silk and the wool. Marsha 56:26 yeah, interesting. Kelly 56:28 And I cleaned up my wheel, took it all apart, washed it, oiled it-- well, washed it, polished it, put it back together, oiled it. It's spinning so nicely. Marsha 56:41 So I have a question. I don't see your mohair sweater on here. Kelly 56:45 No, that's put away for a little while. It's been kind of warm. I haven't knitted on it since I think I was knitting on it at the last episode when we recorded and it's still sitting up in the in the guest room vanity area from that day. I haven't touched it since then. I got really into the carding that was the main thing and then the socks are just something that I started at the Pismo rally trip to have something to knit in the car and then I brought them with me in the car to this, you know on this trip, but I haven't made a whole lot of progress on them. Marsha 57:23 Well, I have a comment about it. When I was walking Enzo and listening to the last episode, you were talking about the sweater and how you had had that sweater in the 60s. You-- the mohair sweater that you bought in the boys department. Kelly 57:41 Yeah, Marsha 57:41 And I was walking along and I of a sudden I thought, why was that sweater in the boys department? I mean like because it was hairy right? It was like a hairy mohair sweater. Kelly 57:52 It was a vest. Marsha 57:52 A vest Yeah, I mean a vest but like it was in the boys department? Like what boy was wearing? Was that a style to have those hairy vests or? I think that's what just struck me is like, what boy was going to be wearing that? Kelly 58:07 Yeah, I know. I don't know. Well, I told you it was unusual. I it was an unusual piece of clothing. Marsha 58:15 I know so you always think of the boys department having...You know when Ben was born and Iwould go to get him some clothes and and all these--so much variety and interesting things with for girls. And the boys it was all like Navy and brown. Like there was nothing fun really with boys clothes. And so that's why I'm like, What boy was going to be wearing that hairy vest? [laughing] Kelly 58:44 Well, and this was ...I wonder if I have any pictures with me wearing it? This was tan, kind of a tan brown color. And they had a... I don't think the whole vest was Argyle. I don't think the pattern was totally Argyle but it had a thin orange like thin orange diagonal striping like an argyle. I just remember the thin orange stripe. I don't really remember if the whole thing was Argyle. If it was, it was muted, you know, it was like a tan and a light brown or something. It wasn't wild colors. But yeah, it was... It wasn't, you know, totally hairy like my Sonny Bono jacket. You know, it wasn't like that. But it was definitely hairy. Marsha 59:37 You know, I guess I'm out of touch. I'm out of touch with what boys were wearing in the 60s and this Kelly 59:42 Well, let's see, when would it have been? Late sixties or early seventies.., depending on when I had it. I think I had it in like middle school. We don't have middle schools here but-- or we didn't have middle school where I was but it would have been like middle school age, maybe fifth sixth, seventh eighth somewhere in there. So it would have been the early 70s. Marsha 1:00:09 Yeah, yeah. Kelly 1:00:10 No, I can picture it... I can kind of. Yeah, I think it could have been like maybe something the Monkees wore maybe. Marsha 1:00:20 Well, you know, I mean, I don't know. I, since we're on this topic, I remember it was very popular for girls when I was in middle school. Well, elementary school, but like late elementary, like, sixth grade or something, but those crocheted vests. All the girls wanted, like, crocheted vests and it was like those granny squares, right. And my my aunt made one for me, my great aunt made me one of those vests and then Kelly 1:00:55 It would be right in style now if you still have it. [laughing] Marsha 1:00:58 Yes. And then also do you remember Go Go boots? Kelly 1:01:01 Oh, yeah. Marsha 1:01:01 Did you have the white Go Go boots? Kelly 1:01:03 I didn't have them for regular life. Wehad white boots for my baton. My baton group. Marsha 1:01:11 Oh, I had gogo boots and white gogo boots that I wore to school because everybody wanted them and I my parents bought me a pair, probably at Sears. And they were like vinyl. Yeah. And my feet practically rotted off in those. Kelly 1:01:30 Yeah. Marsha 1:01:32 Well, between you know, nylon socks and plastic boots. I remember a my mother finally said you just can't wear them because my feet were I was getting like, like athlete's foot or something and just sitting in that moisture all day long. So she said you can't wear them. So I was only to wear them like once a week or something. Kelly 1:01:51 That's funny. Yeah, we had them for baton, for parades and stuff. That was part of our parade uniform. And, and the other part of our parade uniform was vinyl. And it was like a cowboy vest with a suede. It was the beige cowboy vest with a suede star on it and suede like edging. Right. And then the bottom part of it was these vinyl bloomers. Marsha 1:02:24 Bloomers? Kelly 1:02:25 Bloomers Marsha 1:02:25 Pants. Kelly 1:02:26 Like, bloomers! [laughing] Marsha 1:02:32 They wouldn't they have no drape or anything, right? I mean, they must have been... Kelly 1:02:37 there's no leg, right? So they're just bloomers. So they like they just, I mean, I maybe I'm not using the right word. They were like they're like the shape of underpants. [laughing] Marsha 1:02:51 Oh my gosh. [laughing] Kelly 1:02:54 And I, honestly this is terrible. This is maybe too much information. But I remember one parade thinking of the you know, the, the vinyl and the not breathing and the... But I remember one parade where the edge of the vinyl the unsewn seam edge. Because my mom made them, right. Somebody in the troop made them and most of the girl's parents or moms made them but then there were some moms that didn't sew. But my mom sewed so she made ours. But the seam allowance wasn't covered. And I had oh my god, the most painful, painful raw area Marsha 1:03:36 down there. Kelly 1:03:38 From marching with that seam edge of this vinyl rubbing on my leg. For the whole parade. It's like oh my god. When I think back on that. Yeah. And then we had the white, the white boots. And we had cowboy hats. Oh, it was cute. Marsha 1:03:58 But painful, but very painful. Kelly 1:04:01 Well after that one parade my mom did fix it. She... I don't know what--she covered the seam allowance in some way. But yeah. Oh my gosh, I should look for it. I should look for a picture. Marsha 1:04:14 Yeah, yeah, Kelly 1:04:14 To put in the show notes. I don't know if I have time to do that. But yes, funny, cute. They were cute. But when I think back... So that's the end of my projects, Marsha. That's why we're talking about so much random other stuff that's not knitting. [laughing] Marsha 1:04:35 I know. Well, hopefully things will start looking up for me and so that we'll have better things to talk about in terms of projects. But anyway, moving along. Let's talk about the Stashbusting blanket along because that is done. It ended on May 31. And we have winners. Kelly 1:04:55 yes. Marsha 1:04:56 So so let's just say what the prize is going to be Kelly 1:04:59 okay. Marsha 1:04:59 We debated a long time about what the prize should be. Because we thought of yarn, getting people a-- but then this was all about stash busting right? You could look at this both ways. Oh, they didn't want any more yarn because they were working to get rid of yarn out of their stash. Or you could look at it as everybody got rid of the, the yarn in their stashes that all the stuff they used, it was really a Stashbusting. And they need some yarn. So we couldn't make up our minds. We finally decided to go in a completely different direction. And everybody who the winners will receive a pattern of their choice up to $10. So that's going to be the prize. And we have five winners. So Kelly, yes, so we'll list them. Let's say who it is. Kelly 1:05:44 Our first winner is michembry, Michelle, and she made the Habitation Throw. And I really liked that pattern. I'm gonna, I think I might at some point, make one of those because it turns-- a lot of people did them and they all turned out really, really nicely. So congratulations, Michelle. Marsha 1:06:04 Yes. And our second winner is cattitude. Cat. And she made the sunburst granny square throw. Kelly 1:06:14 Yeah, congratulations, Cat. She's our Faroese interpreter. Marsha 1:06:20 Yes, yes. Our foreign correspondent. Kelly 1:06:23 Our third winner is iheartbooks. And she also made a garter Squish, blanket. It turned out really nicely. I just have to say that is the best pattern. I really think that pattern is so versatile. So congratulations, iheartbooks, and I didn't say what her real name is. I don't remember if that's because it wasn't there. Or if I just forgot, but iheartbooks, Congratulations! And Laura Sue also made a garter squish. And Kelly, you have a note here accursed Romney? Yes. She she made a post in one of the-- I think this one was from the discussion board. I drew from both the discussion, and the fo thread to get the winners. And she was using this what she called the accursed Romney that she was trying to get rid of. But she also knit this during the caregiving and loss of her mother, and talked about how soothing it was to, to knit, you know, that garter stitch pattern. And to just-- kind of like what you were talking about with the sweater you're doing. You can just knit and knit and knit and not have to really think too much about it. So yeah, she got she got rid of a Romney fleece that she'd had forever and had been probably she felt like it was multiplying in her stash because I have that feeling about some of my yarn. Like, wait a minute, I thought you were gone. Marsha 1:07:55 Yeah. Kelly 1:07:57 And then our last winner, also with the habitation throw is Starwood knitter. So congratulations to Starwood knitter Marsha 1:08:08 and to all the winners. It was a really fun along Kelly 1:08:12 Yeah, it was it was. Marsha 1:08:14 I would consider doing another Stashbusting blanket along next year. Yeah. Different pattern though. Kelly 1:08:23 That's good. Give everyone some time to think Marsha 1:08:27 and build up their stash. Kelly 1:08:28 Build up or go through their stash and get ideas. Get some creative ideas. Because honestly, when we started this, I didn't think I had the right... I knew I had stash. But I didn't think I had the right yarn to make one. And it wasn't until I put it all out. And looked at it for a couple of weeks with different ideas before I thought, Oh, I know what I could do. I could combine these and yeah, so. So yeah, well, so definitely have to do that again. It was really fun. Yeah, we'll need to have some time in between to do something other than blankets. Marsha 1:09:08 Yeah. So as I mentioned before, the prize is a pattern of your choice up to $10. And Kelly, we're gonna have people contact you. Kelly 1:09:20 Yeah, through Ravelry or, two ewes at Two Ewes Fiber Adventures dot com, the email address, Instagram, any of those ways, just get in touch with me. All I need is to know your Ravelry name and what pattern you want. And if you're not on Ravelry and there's a pattern you want that I can get to you some other way let me know that too, because I've been able to do that for some other people. Marsha 1:09:50 All right, and then the Summer Spin In is underway. It started June 1 And it goes until September 5 We've talked about what we were spinning Kelly 1:10:04 I put up the thread. So there's a thread on Ravelry and I have a hashtag summer spin in 2022. Marsha 1:10:13 Okay, Kelly 1:10:13 so if you want to post, if you have Instagram and you want to play, post on Instagram. Go ahead and use the hashtag summer spin in 2022. And there's no, I have no punctuation in that summer spin in, there's no dash or anything. It's just three words summer spin in and 2022. Marsha 1:10:34 And then the other thing Black Sheep gathering we've talked about mentioned it during this episode, but just the details: Black Sheep Gathering is taking place in Albany, Oregon on from June 24 through the 26th. And Saturday, June 25, we will have a meet up at the trailer starting around 4:00 or 4:30. And so we'll have some snacks and beverages and if you are at the black sheep gathering, stop by and say hi. Kelly 1:11:06 yeah. Marsha 1:11:09 So I should say too, Kelly, I did sign up for a class. You will laugh about this one. I'm going to take a color work. Finally. So I'm actually excited about that. Hopefully, I'll learn some good tips and techniques. So and then our last order of business is we want to hear from you. So we've done this before where people have been sending us audio recordings about their favorite yarn shops. And so just go to speak pipe.com forward slash two ewes and you can le

The yarn is The Fiber Seed Sprout Special Speckles DK, in the colorway Dirty Seahorse. I could not get the yarn to pool in the way that attracted me to the pattern in the first place. The colors spiral, but I still like it. Meadow Stripe Socks using Patons Kroy Sock in the colorway, Meadow Stripes and Lang Yarns Jawoll Superwash fingering for the heels and toes. I finally found the misplaced yarn for the toe and was able to finish these socks. Garter Squish Blanket On color fourteen of sixteen. I'm ready for this project to be done! Unpattern Top Down Raglan Pullover by Karen Alfke. I finished the Fibonacci Sequence striping of the body except for the ribbing. I'm waiting for Ben to try on the sweater. Picked up and knit the neck band and started the first sleeve. Troyggja við Mynstur (Sweater with Round Pattern) by Tora Joensen (translated by Kate Gagnon Osborne: I knit my swatch and got gauge with size 8 needles instead of the suggested size 9. I plan to knit colorwork yoke with size 9. I cast on the sweater while at the beach and knit the ribbing, the colorwork and about an inch of the body. Decided the size was too small, frogged, and cast on the next size up. At about 9” I put the body on waste yarn and washed and blocked to be sure gauge and size are okay. The ball of red arrived for Navia that will be in the yoke. I'm spinning a 2lb bag of Manx Loaghton in my stash. This is a protected breed from the Isle of Man. I am using a woolen spun technique and have spun 5 skeins or approximately 400 yards. Spun three more bobbins that are ready to be plied. Kelly's Projects: Finished the Garter Squish blanket using handspun leftovers. Mother Bear time! Mielie vest using Schaeffer Yarn Company Little Danya mohair. This sat in the knitting basket for the last two weeks. Color is Rosa Parks and it was spirit yarn from NoCKRs retreat in 2018. Shortie socks out of Tomato and Mink Falkland handspun yarn. 3-ply chain plied yarn.

I'm 1hundredprojects and I am betterinmotion. We are both on Instagram and Ravelry. And we look forward to meeting you there. Enjoy the Episode! Marsha 0:43 Hi, Kelly. Kelly 0:43 Hi, Marsha. Marsha 0:45 Okay, big news. Kelly 0:47 Yes. Marsha 0:47 Talk. Big news. Kelly 0:49 Big news. So the trailer pickup finally happened. Marsha 0:54 Yay. Kelly 0:55 It was so much fun. It was so much fun. So we went up to, no down. South, south of us to Pismo Beach. They have the Pismo trailer rally. And it's Pismo Coast Village, which is an RV park in Pismo Beach. And, oh, it was so fun. It was all vintage trailers, you have no idea how many different varieties of vintage trailers there are. Marsha 1:29 Mm hmm. Kelly 1:31 It was amazing. You know, most of the park there was... there are some sections of the park that were just regular modern RVs. And probably the majority of the park was full of vintage trailers of all shapes and sizes. And they have...And one of them, I guess I should be more specific. And one of them was ours, because the people who worked on our trailer go to this rally every year. And it's kind of like NoCKRs, you know, like the retreats where if you go one year, then you have priority to get in and to actually get that same trailer spot the following year. And so, I mean, there are actually people who weren't there. But, you know, bought their spot, didn't cancel and get a refund. So they, so they'll have it for next year. Marsha 2:25 Okay. Kelly 2:26 So and there are people who have been going for, you know, 5 6 7 8 years. I don't know how long it's been going on. But you know, they've been going for a number of years and since everybody stays in their same campsite once they get the one they want, they're like neighbors you know. They they know each other there, they know the people camping around them. And so it's this whole community. I was talking to one man, I said, Oh, this is like a giant rabbit hole. And he's like, Oh, you you have no idea how deep this rabbit hole is! [laughing] Marsha 3:00 It's like a version of spinning learning to spin, right? Like they don't even want to drop spindle because they're gonna go down that rabbit hole. So this is this kind of the same thing. Kelly 3:06 And the people there had, like, this was the trailer that they bought to brought to the rally, but the one they usually bring is something else. Or the one they camp in or, or I was talking to one couple and they said, Yeah, we're gonna, we're gonna be at the one in November. But we're not sure if we're going to bring this one or we'll bring our other one. So they have like trailer stash. Marsha 3:40 I was just thinking that. Trailer stash. Yeah. [laughing] Kelly 3:45 So yeah, and then people would talk about, well, this is my "forever trailer." So like, you have a trailer, but you have aspirations for a different trailer. And then, you know, you sell one trailer and buy another trailer. And anyway, it's a whole world that I didn't know, you know, we had not ever done rallies before. And so this is a whole world that that we are entering into. And the reason we got to enter into it. I mean, we had talked about going, you know, going to one or you know, getting a reservation or trying to get into one. But we got kind of thrown into the deep end because they were coming down, and they were going to be bringing a different trailer. But since we hadn't been able to pick up ours in April. They said, Well, what if we bring yours down and then we'll just stay, you know, stay in hotel and you can stay in the trailer? So that's what we did. And then they showed it during the open house, you know, so that the public could see it. But we were kind of mean, we didn't have the public traipsing in and out of our trailer. Marsha 4:56 Well it's like getting a new car and everybody else gets to drive it, right?, Before you get, right, like you, you don't want people driving it. Kelly 5:03 And so we had, you know, we had barriers. So, and a lot of people, a lot of people in the park did that or at least had one part of their trailer that had barriers. Or like they knew to have, you know, multiple rugs that are normally not on the floor when they are camping, but they use on the public day where everybody was coming in. You know, just to protect their floors and stuff. And we had none of that, because we were just, you know, literally just arriving with the bare minimum camping equipment, so that we could spend the night in the trailer before we brought it home. So anyway, but it was really fun. And so they spent a lot of time with the public and answering questions and all that and Robert and I didn't really have to deal with the crush of people. You know, coming to the coming to the site to look at the trailer, but it was like the belle of the ball. You know, it's the new trailer on the block the, you know, there aren't very many 1950 Westcrafts. And so when a new one is restored and comes out, you know, sort of like its debut. Marsha 6:13 Yeah, Kelly 6:14 There's a lot of excitement, there was a lot of excitement at the park. So we had a lot of people coming by. Not during the public open house, but the rest of it. Coming by and talking to us. And we met so many fun people and they, it was just it was a really nice event. So, and the trailer is nice. It's beautiful. It's so big. I mean, it's not really that big. When I first saw it, I thought okay, good. In my head, it had grown to this enormous proportions. And when I saw it, I thought Oh, good. It is still kind of small. You know, it's way bigger other one, but it's not enormous. Marsha 6:53 Yeah. Yeah, way bigger. So your other one, you know, one person had to sit while the other person moved . Kelly 6:59 Right. Kind of you know, this one, you can both move around without... to me it doesn't feel too big inside. Marsha 6:59 Like it's not it like those big fifth wheels that people have, you know. Those are huge things that stick... What do you call those pop outs and stuff. Those become huge, right? This is still really small. Kelly 7:20 Yeah, yeah. Right. But it feels really open. Just like the other trailer, it feels a little more spacious, because of the layout. The other trailer felt more spacious because of the windows. And this one feels that way because of the light wood and and kind of the layout. But anyway, it was a lot of fun. And I think there's going to be there's going to be more trailer rallies in my future. You know, it's not the kind of camping I'm used to, but it was a fun event. Yeah, it's like a big party. Marsha 7:56 Yes. I'd say you're gonna have a whole new set of friends. Right? Yeah. Kelly 8:01 Work friends. Marsha 8:02 I'm your your one college friend. Like I guess I'm leftover from college. Kelly 8:09 Leftover friends. [laughing] Marsha 8:14 you know, knitting-- your work people, knitting people, trailer people, bee people. I'm not sure. Anyway, Kelly 8:23 Just a whole new adventure. And it was interesting how much I learned talking to people who knew a lot more about this particular make of trailer than I did. Robert knew more than than I did. But but we we both learned a lot from people who came by and told us a little bit and and then the people who did their own work on the trailers. Oh my gosh, so impressive. All this work that that people did, you know, on their own in their garage? Marsha 8:56 Yeah, Kelly 8:57 You know, so that's a different-- that's a whole different aspect of it from from what we did when we bought it and had it restored. So yeah, it's a whole other world to enter. Which will be really fun. I'm looking forward to camp we're going camping in June. So I'm looking forward to actually camping in it you know, regular camping trip and, and, and just seeing what it's like to be in this trailer. The bed is nice. It's bigger. It's not as big as a regular double bed it's slightly smaller. But it's a lot better than slightly bigger than a single with two people and... Marsha 9:43 So your other was was it the size of a single bed? Kelly 9:47 It was a little bit bigger than a single bed but not much. I couldn't get a twin sheet on it. Marsha 9:54 Really? Kelly 9:54 I mean I can--I could fudge it to get a twin sheet on it, but it was it was deifinitely too big for a twin sheet, but not much. So maybe maybe a couple of inches wider than a twin bed. But this one is is much more comfortable. Marsha 10:11 Yeah. Yeah. Kelly 10:13 So that's nice. And we have a bathroom. Which is also nice. And the a shower. Which I didn't--I mean, that wasn't something that I really cared about, but Robert wanted the shower. And actually, I didn't know they did this in trailers, but it's like a, like on the train where the whole room, it's called a wet bath. And the whole room becomes the shower. Marsha 10:36 Mm hmm. Kelly 10:38 I don't know how that's gonna work. Exactly. But yeah. Marsha 10:42 Yeah. Well, and also you actually have a refrigerator, right? Where your other trailer was an ice box? Kelly 10:49 That's true. I had forgotten about that. Yeah, that's the other upgrade that we have is from an icebox to an actual refrigerator. It's a small, you know, it's a small refrigerator. But I'm used to a small refrigerator at home too. Marsha 11:03 Yeah. Kelly 11:03 Yeah, it runs on the electricity. So if we don't have shore power--its called shore power, where you can plug in--we won't have a refrigerator, because it won't run with the 12 volt or the ... you won't get enough power from the inverter solar power to run the refrigerator. But that's okay. We're used to camping with dry ice and an ice box so we can manage with that. That's not a problem. Marsha 11:33 Well, very exciting. And then. And then I'll see it when you come up to Albany, Oregon for the Black Sheep Gathering the end of June. Kelly 11:40 So yeah, yeah, we'll be having a get together for anybody who's going to Black Sheep gathering that Saturday. So Black Sheep is the weekend of June 24 through 26th. And so that Saturday, which I guess will be the 25th that afternoon, late afternoon, maybe 3:30 or 4 o'clock, we'll be having a meet up at the-- we're calling it The Club Car. You know, like the trains have a club car. So I... who suggested that... oh, the father of the woman who bought The Clubhouse. He asked me who is your new trailer? Does your new trailer have a name? And I said, No, we haven't really haven't thought about that. And he's oh, you should call it the... first he said you should call it The Caboose. And then he said, No, I know what you should call it, you should call it The Club Car. And so that's perfect. So we're going to be calling it The Club Car. And I've gotten train placemats and couple of train menus. So that stuff has been arriving in the mail. And so it'll have a little bit of a theme, a little bit of a theme. Not as much as as the other trailer was Giants themed but anyway. Yeah, we're gonna have a meet up at The Club Car at the Black Sheep Gathering. So come in, say hi and show us what you bought. And have some food and drink and gather with other crazy yarn people. [laughing] Who are on their way to maybe becoming crazy trailer people. [laughing] Marsha 13:22 Yes. Really Yeah. Yeah! Well, shall we? Should we talk projects or? Kelly 13:30 Let's go ahead and, and talk projects. Marsha 13:32 Do you want me to go first? Kelly 13:33 Go ahead. Marsha 13:36 I have a finished project. I wish I could say it was my garter squish blanket. It is not. I needed a break. Because I have to say you remember I think the last time we recorded I was struggling with some of my projects. It's been a couple... it's been months now that I've been struggling with my projects. And I think you said oh, just cast something on. So I cast on the Depth Hat by to Talitha Kuomi. And to remind people this was the yarn I bought at Stitches. And it's the Fiber Seeds Sprout Special Speckles DK and the colorway is Dirty Seahorse. And to remind people it's like they've taken the hank of yarn and dipped one half in solid, solid teal, and the other half is speckled with teal and brown and some black. And so when you knit the hat, it pools. It's supposed to pool so you have you know, the dark sections going up the side of the hat and the speckled sections going up the front and back of the hat. So let me just say, that did not happen for me. And there's this whole technique that you're supposed to do about how you find the place where you start. You just don't cast on any random place in the yarn, there's description about how, where you're the point where you're supposed to find in the color, I think you're at the halfway point in the solid color yarn is where you cast on. They tell you what type of cast on you do, I did all of that. It's an interesting hat. You knit I don't remember how many rows, but you knit and then you put in a purl row, and then more and then pick up the the cast on edge. So it becomes-- it's knitted into the body of the hat. I'm not describing Do you know what I mean? I'm not describing that very well. Kelly 15:42 Well, I I sort of saw the pictures. It's folded into a hem, right? Marsha 15:47 Yeah, yeah. So that looks really nice. I like that. I could not get the pooling to work the way they say it's supposed to work. The way I was so captivated by when I saw the yarn and the pattern at stitches. It spirals. And what they tell you to do is to go down a needle size, or up a needle size to control the pooling, so that it all stays in that one section. Kelly 16:17 So like you're switching needles in the middle? Marsha 16:22 Yes. Kelly 16:22 Okay. Marsha 16:23 And also and the other technique to do that, is to pull the yarn really tight. So if you're knitting along, when you get to the solid section, pull that yarn really tight onto the needles or go down a needle size, or the opposite, Kelly 16:40 But it didn't tell you to like pull out yarn. If you get to the part that's supposed to be solid, and you're still on speckled yarn, just pull it out to you have solid yarn and knit with that. Marsha 16:50 No. Kelly 16:51 Okay, Marsha 16:51 So I'm a little disappointed that I did not get that look. It's a spiral, it's fine. I mean, it looks okay. Kelly 16:58 Did you swatch? Marsha 17:00 Yes, because it also said in the pattern, they said you have to swatch and your gauge has to be accurate, because that will affect the pooling? And my gauge? My swatch and the gauge was correct. So I don't know what I did wrong? Kelly 17:15 Probably nothing. Marsha 17:18 Yeah, I don't know. It's like they are individually hand dyed. So maybe that has something to do with it. I don't think so. But possibly. The other thing I would say about this pattern, it does not say... there's no description on the print of the pattern about how the, it tells you how to finish the you know, to close up the top of the hat. But it doesn't give you a description of it. Like when it's talking about like, oh, this hat has a you know, a hem, a folded hem and there's nothing. So in the picture does not show the top of the hat. And the reason I'm saying all this is I had no idea how it was supposed to look. And so what it really is like, imagine you have you're on the top of your head, now you're gonna have 1990s pleated khakis. There used to be a pleat on khakis. And now that is out you know, now it's back. I think pleats are coming back. But it's basically-- it's like you have four pleats on top. So I'm not even explaining right because Kelly 18:19 It's kind of like, I mean, in order to keep the pooling happening. Right? And not change as you decrease, you really can't have decreases. So you have to make the top of the hat like the pussy hat. But then instead of having those points on the ears, on the sides, they have to do something to make it come to and end. Marsha 18:44 So when you get to the part where you're going to close up that hole. You put some of the-- you put groups of nine stitches: nine stitches on 4 double pointed needles. So you go nine stitches, and then you put 21 stitches on your circular needles, nine stitches on the double pointed needle, nine stitches on a double pointed needle, another 21 stitches on the circular needle, and then another nine stitches on the double pointed needles. You then do a three needle bind off on the first and fourth double pointed needle. And this is where I got screwed up is you you continue on two needles, a double pointed needle number three and number two, excuse me two and three, and knit across to the end binding those off. So they become joined and then you have your 21 stitches on half of the circular needles and the other 21 stitches on the other half of the needle and you do a kitchener stitch too. Kelly 19:55 So that's what's covering up... Marsha 19:58 Yes so... These, these two sets of nine stitch bindoffs then are underneath that 21 stitch flap. I don't know if that makes sense? Kelly 20:09 I think that would be really challenging to actually knit without knowing what it was supposed to be doing. Like now that you're done, and you know what it did. But that would be a really challenging thing to knit without any picture to say, Oh, I'm doing a really thing weird here. Marsha 20:29 Yes, and it looks nice, you know, and to your point, they, it's a great solution to keep that patterning right. Otherwise, if you did, to your point, if you did the decreases, you'd throw off all of the pooling, of which I did not get but anyway. [laughing] But again, a shout out to Ravelry. And all the people who've made this hat who posted pictures of their hat is by looking at their pictures, I was unable to figure out what I had an a visual of what I was trying to do. Where the pattern there's no picture of the top of the hat. Right and no description of it kind of other than just the the instructions about how to close this up. So do you remember I call I think I texted you. Oh my god, this looks odd because I I bound it off. And it looked like a four corner hat kind of. It was terrible. It looked terrible. Kelly 21:27 Basically, it looked like yeah, you had you had like four points. Yes. And a really funky seam. Kelly 21:36 And they were not even even Kelly 21:39 Yeah,yeah, they were Marsha 21:39 Yeah, cuz some were really tight because they were the three needle bind off, the two sets of nine and then the 21 stitches that were Kirschner was all kind of lose because they were kept... not Kershner, kitchener stitch. And anyway, I poured myself a beer got onto my bed with the dog next to me, and started looking at Ravelry to see and there was no notes. But just looking at people's the photographs on people's projects, I was able to figure it out. And so I made myself rip it out, and then re knit up a little bit and then thought okay, I think I understand the concept of what's happening. Anyway. So that's what beer is for. [laughing] Kelly 22:31 Yes, yeah. Oh, my goodness. Marsha 22:34 Okay. So anyway, that's done. But I have to say, again, it sort of goes into this. I was thinking, Oh, I'm just, you know, okay. It's not, I'm disappointed. It's not pooling the way it's supposed to pool. I'm getting this spiral. I can live with it. It's okay. And then that end of the hat, I thought, I really am struggling with a lot of my projects. Kelly 22:54 Yeah. Marsha 22:55 Anyway, I will then go on to the garter squish blanket, I have not a whole lot to report on that I am really ready for this to be done. I do apologize too. I was listening to the last episode where I was knitting on it while we were recording. And I was listening as I was walking Enzo and all I could hear with those needles, bang, bang. It's all like they were so loud. So I do apologize for that. So I'm not knitting on that. Now, as I'm sitting here. It is also too big for it to sit on my lap. But anyway, I'm on color 14, about halfway through color 14 of 16. Kelly 23:31 Oh, you're almost done. Marsha 23:33 I'm getting close. I'm ready for it to be done. I'm beginning to just hate this project. Because I really like it, but I'm sick of it. I want to move on to something else. So but we have, I'll just put there's a good time to put this in here that the our blanket along ends May 31. So what is today we're recording on today is Kelly 24:03 the 25th of May. Marsha 24:04 So Okay, not quite a week. So I will get it done. I'm pretty sure I'll get it done. But I'm ready for it to be done. Okay, um, I have nothing new to report on the the unpatterned top down Raglan pullover by Karen Offski that I'm making for Ben. I have nothing to report except he's coming home today. This is the, you know, Memorial. This is the Wednesday before Memorial Day. So he has a long weekend. And so he's coming home today at some point so hopefully in the next couple of days he can put it on and I'm going to say... Kelly 24:40 Yeah, you can pin him down. Marsha 24:43 Yes. To see how it's how the body is and etc. So not much to report on that. Then my next project is the sweater that I'm making for my brother and Kelly and we before we started recording We looked it up on. We Googled that in the end it's "Tro-cha." Kelly 25:06 "Tro-cha minstur" Marsha 25:07 Troyggja Við Mynstur, which we believe means sweater. Kelly 25:10 sweater pattern. Marsha 25:13 sweater with round pattern and which, I have to laugh because guess what it says in parentheses after Troyggja Við Mynstur, it says sweater with round pattern. So we finally figured out that that's what it is. And if anybody wants to give us feedback, if we're not saying this the correct way... Kelly 25:38 Our foreign correspondent could tell us how to pronounce that in Faroese a little bit better and maybe the translation but we did we did find a Faroese translation site, a pronunciation site online and we're probably not doing it justice but but we're trying! Marsha 26:03 So I just have to give you a little update on this. So I unravelled... Kelly 26:09 How many times have you start restarted this sweater? Marsha 26:15 Well, I will tell you! So. Okay, so we're not counting the Atlas anymore. So I knit the whole body of Atlas. And honestly, I mean, I pretty much knit the whole sweater, didn't I? Kelly 26:28 Yeah. Marsha 26:29 Did I do the sleeves? I didn't do all the sleeves I don't think but because he tried it on it was way too small. Moving Beyond that, that's how Cat actually inspired me to look at a Faroese sweater. Since the yarn is Navia Tradition which is a Faroese yarn. So I found this pattern and I did my swatch. I did not get gauge on the nines, it's supposed to use a size nine needle.I did not get gauge with that I got gauge with the size eight. So Kelly, I got gauge, okay! Yes. So I don't know. I don't know what my problem is. So I got gauge and when we went down to the beach, two weeks ago, I guess we were down there, I cast on the size I think it was going to make, I don't know, I don't remember now what size I was going to make for my brother. I've got the pattern right here, it'd be like I was gonna make the medium size. There was like an extra small, small, medium, and then a large and then it keeps going up. I decided I was gonna make it the medium because I thought that would be okay with the with my gauge. So I cast on and I did all the ribbing I did the color work that's just above the ribbing, and I did about an inch of the body and I started looking at it. I thought, this looks awfully small. So I thought screw it, I'm ripping it out. So I ripped it out and I recast on the next size up. So I'm making the large. So I again did the ribbing, the color work. I knit about I would say probably nine inches of the the body. And when I was home, I decided to put it on waste yarn and wash and block it, which I did. And it's going to fit and be roomy enough. Kelly 28:19 Oh. That's good news. Marsha 28:20 Oh my gosh. So now I'm knitting on it. And I have knit about, I think I've knit about 13 or 14 inches on it. And I have to knit till about 18 inches, set it aside and then I'll do the sleeves and attach them. So it's been a bit of a nightmare. I have to say this, this whole project-- I don't know. Anyway. And then the other thing I'll say is that with this sweater, I need four colors. Where with the Atlas I needed three: the main color and two contrasting. With this pattern, Sweater with Round Pattern, I need the main color and three contrasting colors for the color work. And I have the color work as like a light robin's egg blue, and a navy. And the body of the sweater is like a bright grass green, kind of, so when we were together when I was down there, I think for NoCKRs, I think it was , I ordered just a natural color, a white or cream color, which arrived. And Mark didn't like that. He wanted a color. So I think I have mentioned this before that I ordered that ball from Navia on the Faroe Islands, and it took about a month. But it arrived and he wanted red, it's a bright red. I'm not sure. I have to say I'm not sure I like the red with a bright kelly green. A robin's egg blue and a navy. He really liked it. Kelly 29:57 Havae you put the red in already? Or is it only in the neck color work? Marsha 30:03 I have not put the red in. It's only in the yoke. Yeah, just a couple of rows. It's not gonna be very much. So we'll see. I've got a ways. But I have to tell you about the the package from Navia. It came in an envelope, it was all when I got it, the envelope was wrapped with yarn, instead of twine, and a piece of Navia Tradition yarn wrapped around it and tied with a little bow on the outside of the package. Kelly 30:33 The part that went to the post office, still on there. Wow. Marsha 30:35 And it stayed on nice. Yeah, it stayed on there all the way from the Faroe Islands. It stayed on there, that yarn wrapped around there and the bow and everything and then opened up and beautifully wrapped in tissue paper with a little sticker on it that said, thank you. It's just super, super sweet and very exciting to get that dropped off on my front porch. So that's what's going on with that. And then I go down every day, I spend for 10-15 minutes, just a little bit on that Manx Loaghtan. But I'm still spinning on that. So and I am Kelly, I am going to bring my spinning wheel to Black Sheep. Because I'm planning on doing... I've never been able to bring it because we've either taken the train or something. I've not had space, but I'm bringing that wheel so I can sit in the spinning circle, or sit by the trailer and spin. So anyway, that's all I have for projects, and I'm really hoping I've now moved past my problems. Kelly 31:35 Oh, me too. Marsha 31:36 Do you think? Because I've kind of gone through kind of a hard time. It's been around two months now. It's like, I've had some bad juju. I don't really know what that's about. But it's just, Kelly 31:48 Yeah, it's been a little bit rough patch with your knitting. Yeah, maybe you need to do some crochet Marsha 31:59 Well, maybe it's like I just crochet placemats or something, you know, or Kelly 32:03 switch to another spinning project? Well, I don't know if you have enough bobbins. But you could get yourself some braids and switch to some different, you know, have a couple of different spinning projects going because it is going to be time for the summer spin in. Marsha 32:20 Yeah, so I think I am going to. I was thinking about that before we started recording. So I'm going to try and finish for the summer spin. And I'm gonna try and finish this Manx Loaghtan. I'll try and finish that, and then I think I'm gonna try and do a combo spin or I have some braids, two braids I was thinking of combining. So do something with that. Kelly 32:40 Yeah, nice. That might be a nice, that might be a nice way to kind of just put an end to the the bad knitting. By not knitting at all. Marsha 32:50 Oh, you know, I think part of it is... I'm gonna say is I think I'm making... It's all making stuff for other people. Yeah, I'm thinking about it. I'm making this sweater for Ben, the sweater for my brother. And then Kelly 33:03 when doing those tea cozies Marsha 33:06 Tea cozies. I have another tea cozy I have to make... and it's like this is knitting for other people. You know? Because like this, I have to say this Navia Tradition, this yarn. I have to put hand cream on when I knit with it, because it's so drying to my hands. It's and I'm not saying that in a bad way. It's just like, this is the type of yarn it is. It's not super pleasant. It's not like, you know that the handspun I was knitting with. I love knitting with it. This is a woolly wool. Kelly 33:36 Right. Right. Marsha 33:39 So it's, it's not a yarn I ever would have purchased. Yeah. So that's sort of part of it, too, I think it's I'm not really, not really into it. Kelly 33:49 Yeah, I mean, the yarn. The yarn wasn't your choice. The original pattern wasn't your choice. No, yeah. And then with Ben's sweater, you had some challenges with your first pattern. And then you've had some challenges just having him try it. Like knitting for someone who's not there. And I know there are people who do that, you know, they knit for people that they don't have them try it on all the time. But I, I mean, I constantly try things on when I'm knitting for myself. Marsha 34:19 Yeah. Kelly 34:20 And so I think that would be really challenging to be knitting something that you know, especially when you're knitting it for the second time because the first one didn't work, and you really don't want to have to rip out again. So you want to make sure it's right. Marsha 34:35 So Mark's I've ripped out twice. So I'm on my third attempt at this sweater for him. Yeah. Okay, that is love or stupidity I'm not quite sure which it is. But anyway, Okay, nevermind my project. Let me hear about your projects, okay? Because you do have... Yeah, let me hear about yours. Kelly 34:54 Okay, it's going. So yeah, actually it's a good thing I have the trailer to talk about because I don't really have much to talk about in terms of my projects. So I can tell you that the garter squish blanket, which was already done, but I have it in the show this time because I actually slept under it. We used it. We used it in the trailer, I brought it for the trailer's bedspread. And I got lots of compliments on it. So some of the trailer people are also yarn people. Marsha 35:30 Of course, of course, there was some overlap. And, yeah, chicken and bees too. I bet. Right. Kelly 35:36 Well, yeah. I mean, I don't know how much of how much of that there is. But there were a couple of people who recognized that I had made it and asked me, Did you make that blanket? And some were working on their own. Or saw me knitting while I was there and asked about it. So yeah. So yeah, we slept under. It was great. It looks, it looks really nice in the trailer. So I'm super, I'm super happy about how it turned out and being able to use it. I was... Oh, go ahead. Marsha 36:11 Oh, I was just going to say the picture you sent me. The colors work really well in there. Because you have all that sort of light wood with all the panels, the light wood, and then some of the burgundy kind of in there and the floor. And so the colors look really nice in there, I think. Kelly 36:29 Thank you. Yeah. I like it, too. I think it looks good. I actually think you know this, the thing about the Garter Squish, is that they can fit into a lot of different schemes, color schemes. Because you've got those, that one color going, going throughout with all the different colors that you add in. I have not finished the Mother Bear, the headless Mother Bear that I talked about a month ago. She's still headless, because I need to get some stuffing. And I started another one. So I have now have two headless Mother Bears. One flat one is totally flat, and the other one has some stuffing in it. So I need to get get some stuffing so I can finish those up. And what I'm knitting on right now is the mohair vest, which I like it, but then sometimes I look at it and I think is this actually really ugly. Marsha 37:37 And what have you decided, I mean, do you have a definitive answer? Kelly 37:40 No decision or I'm not really sure. I'm not really sure. It's not pooling or anything. I mean, there's a couple of places where it looks darker and a couple of places where the red shows through more, but it's not doing any kind of funky pooling. I'm about now maybe eight inches down from the armhole. And it's just-- it's very hairy. This is a very hairy vest. And I'm not sure what I'm gonna do about the collar. Because I seriously cannot imagine having this against my neck. Like my other vest I wear I zip it all the way up and I have like a turtleneck kind of. I don't think I would ever do that with this one. So I'm not sure. I've thought about using something that's not mohair. But I'm still not sure what I'm going to do I might just get a black yarn and do a, you know, do the border all in black. Which, knitting with black? I'm not sure I want to do that either. Marsha 38:47 How much... I will say something. Do you think you'll ever wear this? Kelly 38:54 Yeah, I do. Marsha 38:56 Okay. I'm sorry. That's so mean of me. I don't mean to be mean like that. But it's like, Do you love it? You don't know. I mean, you're unsure. Kelly 39:04 I love mohair yarn. You know that. So I love the yarn. I'm not sure I'm loving how it's knitting up. But I don't hate it either. It's it's just, let's just say it will be unusual. It's not, it's not, you know, "on trend" exactly. It's not the, you know, a strand of kidsilk haze that you carry along with your other yarn. This is full on mohair. Marsha 39:40 Right. There was a reason why it's in the destash. Kelly. [laughing] Kelly 39:44 Exactly. But I do like mohair and I have in my memory-- one of my fond memories of clothing. I have lots of good clothing memories from my childhood. In fact I have more clothing memories than I have food memories. So we were talking about that. Aunt Betty and I were talking about that, and I really don't have a lot of food memories from my childhood but I have a lot of clothing memories. And I have the fondest memory of this vest. And I think it was an argyle type pattern that I got in the boys department. When I was in, I think seventh or eighth grade. And it was this kind of full on mohair. Probably not wool mohair probably that Orlon acrylic mohair, because, you know, it was a kid's vest. And I wore that thing all the time. And it was unusual. It was one of those things. It was not one of those things that all the kids were wearing, you know? Marsha 40:51 Yeah. All the cool kids were wearing it. Kelly 40:55 It was one of my, one of my many clothing items that was definitely not on trend. But I really loved it. So I have a feeling that I might, I might not feel quite the same way about this as I felt about that. But it has the same vibe to me. So I think that's why, why I decided to make this vest. And I think it would be good. Like, it'll be warm for sure. I think it'd be good for camping. It'll be good for walking the dogs when it's cold outside. So I think I'll get I think I'll get some wear out of it. I don't know that it will be my go-to piece. So we'll see. But I'm working on it. It's the Rosa Parks colorway from a yarn company called Shaeffer that isn't making yarn anymore. And the the name of the or the type of yarn was Danya mohair. And the really odd thing about it is that it's hardly taken any yarn to make this. I thought I had-- I mean I kind of debated whether I had enough to make to make the vest. But I also am making a vest that calls for, I think, DK and this is at a bulky gauge. So I had, you know, I had to reconfigure the pattern somewhat. So we'll see the, the jury will be out for a while on this one. And I may, it's so hot to knit on. It's not super warm here. But it's you know, it's kind of hot and sticky to knit on and mohair flies up my nose and stuff. So it's not the thing I grab and knit the most often either. I don't have that much to choose from. So that is my only project besides Mother Bears. That was my only project and I wasn't grabbing it to knit. And then I needed something for the road going down to pick up the trailer and bring it back. I thought I would have more time to knit but it was really kind of a whirlwind, looking at other people's trailers, talking to people about the trailer, finding out all the stuff and how it works, you know, all that kind of stuff. So I didn't have much knitting time, but I did bring some leftovers. I have a pair of socks there. Tomato and Mink or Mink and Tomato was the name of the the braid, and it was Falkland handspun and so I have a pair of regular socks out of it, but I had quite a bit of leftover yarn. So I grabbed that and cast on a pair of short socks. So just you know about maybe a maybe an inch and a half to two inch cuff. And then I started the heel and that's about where I am. I think I turned the heel. That's all I've done is a tiny tiny cuff and turn the heel that's all the knitting. And I never--I hardly took out the vest. So I really didn't have much.. Well and the dogs. we had the dogs with us and so I did a lot of walking the dogs at the RV park because they I wanted them to be good and they're a lot better if they've had exercise. And so we did a lot of walking and stuff. Yeah. So anyway, those are my projects, kind of just the vest. Some Mother Bears in the, you know, in the meanwhile. And then the barest start of a pair of shorty socks. So I'm kind of I'm kind of in that place where I don't know. I don't know what to do. I do think... So we sold the other the old trailer The Clubhouse. And this young woman came and she brought her dad because he had the truck with the hitch to pull the trailer home and her mom came too. Really nice people, super nice people. And we got to talking and her mom has this...she said, I have this sweater that I started, but I never was able to finish it, maybe you would be able to finish it. And I at first my thought was like, oh, no, this, you know. Marsha 40:55 Oh no! Kelly 40:55 But, but so I was kind of non committal. I said, Well, you know, I maybe...maybe I would be able to do that. I don't know. And, and then she brought it up again. And finally, I thought, You know what, I'm not super excited about anything I'm knitting. What the hell, you know? Marsha 43:04 Yeah. Kelly 43:04 And so and so I said, Yeah, you know, send it to me, and I'll see what I can do. I'm not gonna guarantee that I'll be able to, you know, finish it, but, but send, send me what you have. And I'll take a look at it and and let you know, and if I can't, I'll send it back. And if I can, I'll do it. And she's like, of course, I'll pay you, you know. And so anyway, I haven't heard from her since the trailer sold. And I'm wondering if maybe she feels like, oh, gosh, I was a little bit too forward to do that. Marsha 46:09 Yeah, she thought, Oh, yeah. This woman was just trying to be nice. She's thinking that about you like, Oh, she's trying to be nice, but... Kelly 46:17 One she got home. Or maybe her daughter after they left said, Mom, I can't believe you did that. So I thought, oh, maybe I'll text the woman who bought the trailer and say, you know, let your mom know, if she wants to send that to go ahead. You know, I'm happy to try it. So we'll see. I don't know, it. Just kind of something different. It kind of gave me an idea like, oh, well, maybe that'd be something different and, and fun to do so. And then the other thing that I did, this isn't a knitting project. But I just wanted to give a shout out. We have a new member who joined the the Ravelry group, AJ, and she introduced herself and let us know that she has the Hooked and Booked podcast. And she has a website too. It's called... her name is-- she she goes by AJ, but her website name is KJ Krochet. And the crochet is spelled with a K. And I'll have links in the show notes. But anyway, she's from South Africa. And she has just maybe three episodes, but it's just a cute, it's a cute show. And I listened to it. And I thought oh, this is fun. So I listened to all her episodes. And then she was talking about another podcast called Crochet Conversations. And she's interested, AJ is interested in having more people podcasting who don't have American accents. She said she feels like all of the podcasts, the knitting podcasts that she listens to, and maybe a lot of the other podcast she listens to also, you know, people with American accents, and there's not a lot from elsewhere. And so, so she was promoting this other podcast for these two women from Singapore. And so I went and listened to it too. And it's also very cute. It's called Crochet Conversations. And it's two women, Inez and Mell from Singapore. And the most recent episode, they're taking you through their house, like room by room talking about what crochet is in their house. And I thought that was really cute. So anyway, I'd like to give a recommendation for the Hooked and Booked podcast and Crochet Conversations and I've linked to both of them in the in the show notes if anybody's if anybody's interested. And I thought you know, that's maybe why I said to you, maybe you need to crochet something because I'm thinking maybe maybe it's time for me to crochet something because I'm just not super excited by anything that that I'm working on right now. So maybe I just need a new inspiration. And the trailer is a big inspiration. Because now I can think of all sorts of things that I could make for the trailer you know. So you know like the cover for your toilet paper [laughing] Well, I mean I'm kidding. Kelly 46:17 Yeah, I got it. [laughing] You need potholders and hand towels and yeah, and Kelly 49:41 and especially those potholders and like what your great aunt what your your Aunt Ruth made, you know. Marsha 49:53 Oh yeah, Great Aunt Ruth Kelly 49:54 1950s style of of crochet potholders, those are really kind of interesting. Marsha 50:02 She did those really cute potholders that I don't know how she did it but there's rick rack in there. So you see part-- you see one point of the rick rack but not the other point of the rick rack. So it makes all these little triangles kind of Kelly 50:16 Yeah, Marsha 50:17 yeah, I've never seen a pattern like that but and I was also gonna say too that I've seen I had not seen crochet patterns for pillows, but knitted pillows I see, you know, covers with color work. And that might be kind of fun, too. Yeah. Because you're going to need some pillows on the sofa. Knit something--a cover--or crochet something. Yeah, you did the bee pillow, but something like? Kelly 50:44 Yeah, so I think I think I might crochet or weave. Marsha 50:49 Well, yeah, weaving too. Kelly 50:52 I think I might make -- Robert brought regular bath towels. And we used the shower at the at the RV park, not the shower in the trailer. But one of the issues with the towels is that they take up so much space. And then you have to get them to dry. And Hetti had been talking in the winter weave along about the spa towels that she made. Because in Santa Cruz, it's kind of damp where she lives and she wanted towels that would dry. She was experimenting with different weave structures to see if she could get some towels that would that would dry quickly. You know, be absorbent, but also dry quickly. And then also they take up less space. You know those heavy terrycloth towels. They--not that we don't have the space, but they take up more space. And so yeah, if I could, I could weave something that might be really kind of a cool idea. So So yeah, I have some I have some other inspirations that I haven't had in a while, or haven't ever had really, that's kind of fun. So maybe someone else's sweater and then maybe some crochet and we'll see. We'll see. Check with us next time, listeners, to see if we've improved our attitudes. Marsha 52:21 Yes, I know. Well, I'm hoping my I'm hoping it might... Well maybe it is all my attitude, hopefully my attitude will. It's funny thinking about my attitude because I made the comment that part of all these projects I've been doing have been for other people. It makes me sound so selfish. Kelly 52:36 But you know it's your hobby. Marsha 52:39 It is my hobby. I've been doing this, but I was down working in the basement and I pulled out because I finished the the socks remember that I had lost the blue, the navy blue for the toe. And I found it in the last episode. So I finished that sock. Oh, I didn't put that in my finished projects. Yes, I completely forgot. I did not put that in my finished objects. But I did finish that. And so instead of putting the Navy away, I knew that I had bought a skein of yarn for my brother, he had picked it out. And the Navy would work really well with it for heels and toes. So I pulled out that skein of yarn and wound it into a cake to cast those on for him. And I'm thinking maybe I should not do that. Given that. Yes, I'm thinking that this is... I should have a conversation with myself. Kelly 53:35 Yeah, maybe you need to do something. Do some self indulgent knitting. Marsha 53:41 Yeah, yeah. Kelly 53:43 To go with your, your projects for other people. Marsha 53:48 You know what I'd like to knit is I have a combo spin that I made Kelly 53:55 oh yeah, that's a pretty one with silk. Marsha 53:58 I've never knit that up. And I would sort of like to knit that but there you go. Kelly 54:03 Start that one. Marsha 54:04 Yeah, there's no, I don't know. Okay. No complaining. Everyone, everybody's gonna want me to finish these projects as soon as possible so they don't have to hear about it anymore. Anyway, okay, next order of business. Kelly 54:21 I'm in the process of getting all of the winter weave along gift cards purchased. So if you won in the winter weave along you'll be hearing from me or getting an email with your gift card information. Either already or very shortly. I also have sent out all of the prizes, finally for the stitches giveaway that we did. I sent them out today. And I think that's the only business that we have. We do still have the SpeakPipe. SpeakPipe, they need to change their name, no one can say it. All right, Speakpipe.com/twoewes, you can go there and you can leave a message about your favorite local yarn store. Or you can send it to us in an audio file, send it via email. Again, that's twoewes@twoewesfiberadventures.com, you can email us an audio file from your phone, or your computer or wherever. And tell us about your favorite yarn shop. We'd love to hear all about your yarn shop in your area. So I think that's really all. The Blanket Along ends this week. We talked about that. Marsha 55:51 Let's just say what's going on. So the Stashbusting blanket along ends May 31. So and then the summer spin in starts June 1, and that, and that will go all summer. So one ends on the 31st. And the next event, or along, or whatever--contest--starts the next day, June 1, and that will go the entire summer and it ends September 5, which in the United States is Labor Day. So we've talked about this before. Memorial Day is sort of the unofficial start of summer, which is in May, and then Labor Day is sort of the unofficial end of summer. And so the summer spin-in will be June 1 through September 5. And then again, we're going to be at the Black Sheep gathering in Albany, Oregon. And that's June 24 through 26th. And that Saturday, we'll have a meet up at the trailer. Yeah. And Kelly, Should we just pick a time? Yeah, Kelly 56:53 Let's say 3:30 or 4:00. Yeah. Marsha 56:57 Yeah. Kelly 56:58 It's not like there's a definite, it's not like, well, you know, it's a party, so come after 3:30. We might not be there if you come before 3:30. Marsha 57:13 Yeah. We know a few people are coming to black sheep. Kelly 57:15 And maybe we'll see some people who we've met in previous years. Who are going to be there too. They haven't had black sheep for a couple of years. So it will be really good. It will be fun to be back to another fiber festival. Marsha 57:40 Yes. Okay, Kelly, I think that's everything Kelly 57:45 I do too. Marsha 57:45 Or anything else. Kelly 57:46 Oh, no, I think that's it. Next episode. I want to talk a little bit more about my plans for the summer spin in. What I'm gonna do with the fleeces in my garage, maybe. But yeah, that's for next time. Maybe I'll have a sweater to work. Yes. Maybe it'll arrive in the mail someone else's sweater. Marsha 58:08 Yeah, yeah. Kelly 58:10 Okay. That'll give us something to talk about. Right? Marsha 58:14 Yes, I know. Well, we'll talk in two weeks and we'll find out if you have a sweater. Kelly 58:18 Okay, sounds good. All right. Okay, Marsha 58:21 bye bye. Kelly 58:22 Thank you so much for listening.

She has red boots, a multicolor handspun skirt (red, yellow, magenta) and a purple leotard. Right now she has no head. I hope I have enough brown for her whole head. If not she'll have some gray curly hair on top using a thick and thin handspun for top of her head. Mielie vest using Schaeffer Yarn Company Little Danya mohair.
