Mother Knows Best:(30:43) This week we answer a question from the "What do you want to hear about?" about how to be philosophical and positive about knitting attacks. How do you handle it? Let us know. When Knitting Attacks:(36:39) Gigi started the Vitamin D cardigan three times, used a highlighter for stitch markers in the pattern, and used a different color to highlight sleeves. Jasmin ordered the wrong stitch markers, then DIY fixed them Gigi lost a game of chicken with the Purlbreak. Review:(41:33) This week we review Firmament, Stellar Stitches For Your Next Adventure, by Hunter Hammersen (PREORDER LINK WILL BE HERE) Straw into Gold:(46:30) Jasmin PLIES! She finished spinning another of Nicole Frost's batts (rose gold batts). She’s been plying up a storm. Jasmin enthuses about the Akerworks Kate. And Sew On:(51:16) Gigi is working on a camp shirt. Textbook directions were rather optimistic.
