Episode  18 – 7/25/17 – The SSK Episode Knitting & running in 30 minutes or less Wips Firebird by Romi Hill, a gorgeous shawl designed for red yarn.  I’m doing this in Blue Heron Yarn’s Egyptian Mercerized Cotton in the Carnelian colorway, it’s dark red tonal gradients.  I finished the central flower, which was knit in the round then bound off the top and bottoms, now working on the left wing.  The wing has 4 or 5 decreases with a sort of feather hanging down – finished the first feather and onto the 2nd Pink Hitchhiker by Martina Behm (aka strickmich) knit in Ito Yarn’s Kinu, 100% silk.  It’s like a raw silk, not a finished, smooth thread. Empire Top by Lily Go in Frogtree’s Picoboo, a discontued blend of cotton and bamboo – this is a tunic that criss-crosses across the bust then fits around the ribs and flares over the tummy.  Looking to wear this with leggings and boots this fall.  My primary WIP at SSK, re-cast it on the day before and got it almost to the raglan arm separation Triyang shawl by Lee Meredith – cast on last night in Araucania’s Yumbrel Wearables Wore lots of knits at SSK – Scarrit Bennet center is fully air conditioned and some rooms were chilly.  Maris Stella by Anna Victoria, knit in Birdie’s Knits gradient kig Linen Butterflies by me, Monique Leonard – knit in Louet Euroflax Sport Thoughts on Small Needles by Joji Locatelli; worked the size XL pattern with a lace/thread-weight yarn to make a size M Out and About SSK!  A summer knitting retreat hosted by the KnitGirllls.  4 days in Nashville with 150 amazing knitters, vendors and teachers.  Thank you to Laura, Leslie, Gwen, Sarah and Mama Linneman for all your hard work, it was an amazing retreat.  I arraived late, on Thursday morning instead of Wednesday night, but it was fine; I still met so many lovely people and felt welcomes right away. Took 2 classes and 2 breakouts. Variegated Yarns class with Margaret Radcliffe.  Learned a lot about how to read the yarn, make some colors pop and others fade; how to use texture to bring out colors like when you look at a cake of variegated yarns.  Long and short is, play with the yarn BEFORE you cast on for a project Triyang Shawl with Lee Meredith (aka Leethal) was incredible to see a little into how her mind works.  She’s known for usuing unusual construction to make amazing patterns.  This shawl as no picking up or binbding off!  We knit mini-versions of this shawl and learned the sideways Cast On and how to consider what looks like the middle of the row as your actual “start” of the row.  The pattern is very well written and if you follow it exactly as written you will end up with a marvelous shawl.  Trust Lee, she’s worked it all out.  Even if it feels wrong, just do what’s written and it will work. 2 breakouts by Hipstrings.  The first, learning to use a supported spindle.  I got the very basics down.  I made a rather horrible-looking spindle, but I made one!  My very first time spinning.  The 2nd, learning to spin cotton on a supported spindle.  By the end I had a half-way decent spindle and learned to use the smallest and fastest of her spindles.

I bought a spindle and a fibre sampler from HipStrings, bags from Whimzee, Fat Squirrel, and On the Run I’ve run twice and walked a LOT since the last episode. Since I was up at the crack of dawn on Friday I went for a run, about a mile around Vanderbilt – beautiful campus!  Felt totally safe as a woman running alone.  I upped the number of run intervals from 5 to 7.  Saturday I went for a walk with PAKnitWit to the Parthenon, about a mile each way. Today continued the 7-run intervals.  Knees are a little creaky after all the running and walking the past 5 days so I’m going to hold off on running again until the end of the week.  But I’m so happy to be slowly increasing my running in a healthy manner.
