Welcome to Episode 47 of Teaching Your Brain to Knit Brainy thing:      11:29   Behind the Redwood Curtain 21:56 What We’re Learning from Our Knitting Margaret has been looking for modifications of the Afterthought Heel to prevent (or reduce) those strained stitches in the corner.   She found Afterthought Heels Revisited (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/afterthought-heels-revisited) by Laura Linneman of the Kinitgirlllls (yes, three “l”s) Podcast fame and the Knit Better Socks blog by RMD (http://knitbettersocks.blogspot.com/2011/12/improving-afterthought-or-forethought.html).  She used Vesper yarn  in a color way she calls “Neopolitan ice cream with blueberries”— pink, blue white and blue. Catherine finished up her Double Lattice Dishcloths by SmarieK (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/double-lattice-cloth).  She used various leftovers from Knit Picks and Peaches and Cream The Brainy Thing: Breathing and the Brain Margaret was inspired by this topic by Memletics writer Sean Whitely which unfortunately had no references.  So she looked for some research the (self evident) idea that breathing would help your brain function.   She started with Breathing and the Brain (http://www.forbes.com/sites/daviddisalvo/2013/05/14/breathing-and-your-brain-five-reasons-to-grab-the-controls/#2e5150ae52aa) then found a MIT study from 2005 headed by Sara W. Lazar, et al (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1361002/)  (she also has a Ted Talk at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8rRzTtP7Tc. Behind the Redwood Curtain:  Trees of Mystery  Catherine focuses on the giant interactive Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox of Trees of Mystery in Klamath, CA.  https://www.treesofmystery.net/ Knitting Tip: decreases on the edges of garments Catherine shares a tip for making neater knitting decreases along the edges of garment.

Production Scheduling Events                                                               i.      Great Trail Festival August 25-26 & September 1,2, and 3 in Malvern Ohio                                                             ii.      Yankee Peddler September September 8-9, 15-16, 22-23                                                           iii.      Old Mill Festival October 12,13, 14                                                           iv.      Possibility of Ann Arbor Fiber….  or maybe Rhinebeck…. Production What’s In my Tea Pot Material Sourcing Shipping After 5 Production Juno Regina by Miriam Felton                                                               i.      Still on chart three and it seems to be 2 steps forward and three back.  After correcting the last error I got the first lace row of chart three complete only to make another error in lace row #2 that I didn’t find until  I was at the end of lace row 3.  I need to tink the two row but I decided taking a deep breath and walking away was the best think I could do.                                                             ii.      I’m back in the in between limbo again.  I need to finish Nichol’s B-day socks but I’m procrastinating because she hasn’t tried on Sock 1 yet.  I’m concerned the leg might be a bit tight and I’d rather only fix one sock.  I have a bag pattern I want to know but it calls for bulky and I have no bulky in my stash!  EEEEEEEK!  Sometimes I cheat when Bulky is called for and hold a worsted double but I don’t even have the yardage in worsted to do that….  I’ve also committed to a pink baby sweater and I have no pink in my stash…  So I’m still figuring out what’s next.  What’s in My Tea Pot Celestial Seasonings Madagascar Vanilla Rooibus                                                               i.      "Harvested from the mountainous Cederberg region of South Africa , Rooibos is a mellow and relaxing herb whose slightly nutty flavor offers hints of cherry and toffee. In our Madagascar Vanilla red tea, Rooibos is perfectly complemented by the rich flavor of another African favorite, vanilla – resulting in a sublime and satisfying tea experience."                                                             ii.      This is was a go to tea before I found my Cardamom Black Assam and was introduced to Jasmine anything.  With artificial sweetener the vanilla can make it almost too sweet and so a bit chemically.  I like sweet tea but I use less than a packet in this.  I find the vanilla comforting.  So when I caught B’s cold last week I picked this up at Giant Eagle.                                                            iii.      I also got an incredibly awesome care package from a listener that I’ve been corresponding back and forth with that will fill the tea pot with new Teas for the next several weeks!   When I saw all the teas I squealed and did a dance in the kitchen .  B thought I was insane.  J  I’ve been previewing them at home but will start using them in the tea pot over the next few weeks.  Many Many thanks to LittleRedHen!  I’m blown away by how awesome this is! Material Sourcing Tour De Fleece has come and gone. My goal was 2 lbs and I didn’t make it.  I have 1 lb of spun and plied and another 9 oz of singles spun.  I did manage to spin everyday.  Though it was slow an unproductive at the end.                                                                i.      I’m all GRACE and DEXTERITY and managed to fall down some steps at a friends camper.  I did a good job of it too…  Hit my head, Bruises over my entire lower body,  Still dealing with a bruised tailbone and it’s been a few weeks…  Sitting has been uncomfortable. Still no word on my fleece from the processor hopefully soon! Shipping The Hitch Hiker                                                               i.      MissMandiGirl beat me.  She finished the KAL before I did.  I know this wasn’t a race but really deep down I think everyone wants to “win” right?  Please don’t let it be just me!                                                             ii.      The pattern was a breeze to knit once I had the pattern memorized.  Great social knitting.                                                           iii.      I think the Sweet Briar Yarn really made this though I love how the stitched look a bit like hundreds of beads because of the nylon content but the shawlette still has satisfying “squish”  in my hands.  The Starving Artist Beret by Laura Linneman                                                               i.      I signed up for my first ever swap on Ravelry.  It was a scavenger hunt swap and one of the requirements was a little something to keep my partner warm.  I saw some scarves and shawls coming out of packages but no hats.  So I went the hat route.                                                             ii.      I knit this from the two extra skeins of Purl Bee Acrylic / Alpaca (my partner was OK with Acrylic yarn) in Damson that was left over from the 2nd Ruffled and Ruched Scarf I made.  The pattern calls for Bulky and this is one of those instances where I cheated ad held the worsted weight double.  The resulting hat is THICK and WARM and FUZZY!  I hop she likes it.  I’m jealous I don’t have one of my own. Afer 5                                                               i.      The rumors of my fading are grossly exaggerated…   1.      Work is status quo.  I had a major melt down in my bosses office and now I share an assistant with the production scheduler.  As she becomes more and more able to take things off my plate things are getting better and better.  My being able to podcast tonight is largely in part to her.  HURRAH! 2.      B starts Kindergarten in 3 weeks.  I’m not sure how I feel about this.  I know with Nate I took the day off and expected to have a tough time dropping him off.  I expected him to be scared and to cry.  What happened though was totally the opposite.  Nate grabbed his backpack and marched right into school and was fine.  I on the other hand sat in the parking lot in my car and cried for ½ an hour.  This time I have no vacation time so Daddy is taking the 1st day of school duties.  I wonder if he’ll admit to crying in the parking lot.  I did read that the first day is an abbreviated schedule and the attending parent is meant to stay all day and see the routine.  Maybe easing us into the schedule will make it better. 3.      Nate is off vacationing for the next few weeks with his dad. 4.      Question of the commute this morning:  Mom?  Do Zombies have names?b

A wonderful review showed up this week from desertflower105.  Thank you so much for your encouragement.   Pipeliner Notes  Thanks for the wonderful tips!  These are found on the show blog. Nature Notes  Many of you wrote about your sightings of black squirrels which appear to have populations scattered across the country.  They are a variant of the gray squirrel so they behave the same way. A marauding band of four teen male turkeys attacked our windows. 10th Annual Potholes and Prairie Birding Festival:  The Chieftain Hotel and Conference Center  June 13-17 Carrington ND  Fly into Fargo or Bismarck or and easy hop from Mpls (2 hours).  Bill Thompson, Julie Zickafoose and other expert guides.  Visit www.birdingdrives.com Martha/Goldybear wrote on the board that experts think it will be a good year for butterflies.  We are not experts but judging from what we have seen so far this year we have made the same observation.  During our Sunday hike in Forest Park Nature Preserve we saw Red Admirals (lots!), Eastern Comma, Mourning Cloaks, Spring Azures, and random Skippers. Needle Notes  Leaaline asked, Paula, what is your FAVORITE quince and co. Yarn? Answer: I love them all but have a special fondness for Chickadee and Tern because I more often knit with lighter weight yarns. Hyla Brook will be released in June.  Calls for 2 skeins of Quince & Co Tern which is a fingering weight wool/silk blend.  442 yds fingering weight.  This shawl is completely reversible and has no purl stitches! Lil Bit by Laura Linneman.   Koigu Beaded Beret by Churchmouse Yarns and Teas  I am not thrilled with the end result but I had a ball knitting it!  The Blethering Room A new rule for buying yarn: sweaters worth or one more skein than first impulse. If I don’t like the yarn enough to commit to more than one or two skeins then maybe I don’t like it enough to buy it.  (please feel free to quote me on this, especially if you see me buying yarn somewhere!)
