Bootie and Bossy each thought they had the best ginger snap recipe. It turns out that their recipes are virtually identical! Bootie's came from her wonderful friend, Mary Ellen Haley, who is well known for her delicious baking. Bossy's came from Marion Cunningham's cookbook, The Breakfast Book. Bossy has been luring her coworkers into attending meetings with these cookies, along with the accompanied lemon curd, for many years. One of her coworkers said he goes to bed dreaming of them. Bootie recounts her knitting get together with Marie Greene, the author of the most wonderful book, The Joy of Yarn. Got yarn? Marie to the rescue with wonderful tips about how to rediscover the joy in the stash you already own, plus gorgeous patterns to use it up! Show Notes , including the recipe, can be found at bootieandbossy.com

The DisruptorsWith Liz FarrMarie Greene founded Connected Accounting in 2019 out of a desire to create a new kind of accounting firm where firm culture and “reliable, reliable, reliable” customer service were the highest priorities.MORE HERE: https://cpatrendlines.com/?p=111335“What is your culture? Who do you want to have on your team?” are questions leaders need to consider when seeking out new team members or deciding who to fire, says Greene. She advises firm owners to remember the message it sends when poor performers are retained because “the good people also leave because you keep the bad apples.”

This is the episode where pretty much everyone gets thrown under the bus! Our amazing mom shares her wonderful recipe for brownies, along with many family stories of "camouflage and subterfuge." We have updates on the Knitalong Bootie is doing with Marie Greene and Bossy's Arpeggio poncho.

Learning new things as adults can be challenging, but also fun. Besides the usual topics, Marsha learns how much fun driving can be. Full notes with photos and links can be found in the podcast section of our shop website: TwoEwesFiberAdventures.com.  Join the community on Ravelry  or email us at twoewes@twoewesfiberadventures.com or contact us on our website. Project Updates Marsha finished the pullover Cobblestone by Jared Flood for her brother. She washed and blocked it but he want the sleeves 1” shorter so some ripping back will have to be done. She used New Lanark Mill DK she bought in Scotland last year. It is nice to knit with and and becomes more beautiful after washing. She also made progress on her T-shirt, Lace Market by Marie Greene. She finished the yoke and joined the body. She is using a linen yarn call El Linio by Schoppel Kelly has been working on the Assam by Laura Chau. She is using Sockotta held double.  It looks like she will have enough yarn. She also finished a pair of shortie socks. Other News Kelly had some sad news to report. She had to say good-bye to her almost 15-year old yellow lab, Ruedy. Anyone who has lost a pet knows how hard this is, but it was time. While Marsha's car is in the shop she ended up with a Dodge Challenger as her rental car. Who knew driving a muscle car was so much fun! Events (K)Not Along! The Two Ewes will be starting a challenge for fiber projects that are NOT knitting, crochet, spinning, or weaving. The NOT (or KNOT) Along will start on May 31 and goes through August 31.

Join host (& creative entrepreneur) Marie Greene for a chat about building (and keeping) momentum in your creative practice.

A fabulous knitting retreat contrasts with a horrible injury, but the fun outweighs the pain in this episode. Full notes with photos and links can be found in the podcast section of our shop website: TwoEwesFiberAdventures.com.  Join the community on Ravelry  or email us with your thoughts at twoewes@twoewesfiberadventures.com  or contact us on our website. Project Updates Kelly is plugging away at  Koru by Aroha Knits using the Dragonfly Fibers Dance Rustic Silk. It is in timeout due to a dropped stitch and will need to have about 4 to 5 rows ripped out and reknit. Meanwhile Kelly started some shortie socks with her Bee Yarn (Sunflower colorway from Duren Dyeworks). She will finish them before the episode goes live.  She also is knitting a The Double Trouble Reversible Beanie by Petite Knitter. Kelly is experimenting with color changes in her version. Marsha has made progress on the T-shirt called Lace Market by Marie Greene and she is using Schoppel El Linio (linen) in Indigo. She finished the body of the pullover Cobblestone by Jared Flood, finished the first sleeve and started the second sleeve. She is using the New Lanark Mill DK she bought in Scotland last year. Other ways to play with string...A Not Along (or is it Knot Along?) The Two Ewes will be starting a challenge for fiber projects that are NOT knitting, crochet, spinning, or weaving. The NOT (or KNOT) Along will start on May 31 and goes through August 31, so think about what you want to be working on this summer that is NOT knitting, crochet, or weaving. Retreat Fun We had a great time at the NoCKRs retreat. Lots of relaxing (at least when Marsha wasn’t fetching ice, etc. for Kelly!) lots of good food, lots of friends, and some learning.  Monica (Kirbymo) taught us how to make Beeswax Wraps that are an alternative to plastic wrap. There are lots of YouTube tutorials, but this was a good one and included links to purchasing supplies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_bsxrqAF-s There were some great designers in attendance at the . Do check out their patterns on Ravelry. Celia McAdam Cahill Brenda Castiel Heddi Craft gave a demonstration on sock machine knitting. Her book is CSM: The Cookbook Elizabeth Doherty gave a talk on short rows. Recommendations Kelly: Don’t carry a bunch of crap when you walk up the stairs in the dark! Marsha: Spicy Red Lentil Soup from The Splendid Table’s How to Eat Weekends adapted by Nancy Leson food writer at the Seattle Times.

Celebrating member weaving projects and highlighting the work of designers who are Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. You’ll definitely add patterns to your queue after this episode! Doing our part for World Fleece! Full notes with photos and links can be found in the podcast section of our shop website: TwoEwesFiberAdventures.com.  Join the community on Ravelry  or email us with your thoughts. Use email twoewes@twoewesfiberadventures.com or contact us on our website. Project Updates Kelly is plugging away at  Koru by Aroha Knits using the Dragonfly Fibers Dance Rustic Silk. The patterned sections have become almost routine and she is approaching the length where she will begin armholes. Kelly also finished a small shawlette/cowl out of handspun.  The project was started and finished in one weekend trip to San Francisco to see the musical Hamilton. Marsha has cast on two projects. The first is a T-shirt called Lace Market by Marie Greene and she is using Schoppel El Linio (linen) in Indigo. She also cast on for her brother the pullover Cobblestone by Jared Flood using the New Lanark Mill DK she bought in Scotland last year. Celebrating Weaving The Two Ewes celebrate weaving with a review of member weaving projects. Lots of members are weavers and participated in the recently finished Winter Weave Along. Besides looking at the finished object thread the Ewes went to the Ravelry advanced search, selected the “projects” tab at the top, selected “weaving” as the craft in the filter boxes on the left, and selected “Groups” from the very last filter box with additional characteristics.  This allows you to select a Ravelry Group, for example Two Ewes Fiber Adventure. Once you do that you see a page of all the weaving projects by group members. Gorgeous and inspiring! A Diversity of Designers The Ewes highlighted patterns from the Designers of Color Bundle that was created by the Solidarity Swap Ravelry Group. Some of the patterns are: Lesedi Shrug by Noma Ndlovu, Mermaid Top by Rebecca McKenzie, Summertime Tee by Toni Lipsey (crochet) Inseparable Cowl and Shawls by Tami Gore And many, many others (over 70 pages of patterns!) The Two Ewes dare you to look at this bundle and not add to your project queue! Other ways to play with string...A Not Along (or is it Knot Along?) Group member Jill contacted Kelly about punch needle rug hooking. Kelly has been planning a project for awhile, but hasn’t gotten started. Jill also wanted to do a punch needle project.  So the Two Ewes will be starting a challenge for fiber projects that are NOT knitting, crochet, or weaving. The NOT (or KNOT) Along will start on May 31, so think about what you want to be working on this summer that is NOT knitting, crochet, or weaving. Recommendations Kelly recommends  Fiber at the Speed of Life podcast by Erica (Weavolution) and Michele.  They just published their first episode.
