Anansi's Daughters for tours! We took the NOLA Voodoo Walking Tour with High Priestess and loved the time we spent with Eshé, who was exceptionally inviting and informative. The tour centered around Congo Square in Armstrong park, so if you're not so interested in walking longer distances but are comfortable standing for a couple of hours, this would also be accessible to you. They also offer a Black Music & Hoodoo tour and ‘The Blackest Ghost Tour' which sound like incredible experiences. https://www.anansisdaughters.com/ For metaphysical shops, we recommend the Sassy Magick and Sassy Magick Noir locations and Path of Awakening. Both are linked in the acquisitions section above. For campy fun + classy decor + great tea and nibbles we really enjoyed the Vampire Apothecary https://vampireapothecary.com/ we had the loveliest ‘goth girl tea time' there!

There are several streaming documentary series on this new age cult, Lauren found the Netflix one to have more trauma porn but also allowed cult survivors to tell more of their own story, the one on Prime was a little more removed and focused on the Vice reporter who broke the story in early 2020. Both series interview a queer expert. There was also an episode of the Conspirituality podcast on the cult.

It's a new year so naturally, there's a lot of chat around about challenges, projects and planning. Today's episode is about knitting challenges. Are you taking part in any for 2021? Don't worry if you aren't; hopefully this episode will still be useful for you, and there is no lack-of-challenge shaming! There are plenty of variations on the theme of challenges, when it comes to knitting. Knitalongs would fall into this bracket, along with projects like Make 9, where you select 9 things to make during the year (not all of which have to be knitted). Dear friend of the podcast Helen Stewart of Curious Handmade Podcast is running the 20 for 2021 challenge. This is more flexible as far as challenges go, and is almost a series of prompts, designed to encourage you to try different things in your knitting, without any pressure. There's a hashtag to go along with it #20for2021 and you can tick off multiple prompts for one project, which means you don't need to do 20 projects to take part. A temperature blanket is another idea for a year long challenge. Louise Tilbrook of Everyday Knitter completed one of these in 2020, and has an ebook available, should you wish to create your own version. Here are my top tips for knitting challenges. 1) Don't feel like you have to do a challenge. It's your knitting. Do what you want. 2) Avoid the FOMO. Don't get swept up with the latest knitting celeb MKAL for a garment or accessory you're never going to wear. this about what you would love to have knitted. Break down what you need to learn or practice in order to be able to do that project. Choose mini projects to help you learn those skills in a more achievable and quick way. Use materials that make you excited and inspired to work with them. 3) Cut yourself some slack. If you don't keep up, so what? It's your hobby and it's the thing you are trying to learn and it should be fun, not an obligation. Enjoy the process.

Reviewing the WA Coast Meetup, a fiber mill, inspirations to cure a knitting funk, weaving plans and patron appreciation prizes round out this episode. Full notes with photos and links can be found in the podcast section of our shop website: TwoEwesFiberAdventures.com Come join the community on Ravelry or become a patron and support the show on our Patreon Page. Thank you to Jean Chambers at String Theory Yarn and Fiber for helping us put on the Washington Coast Meetup! We had a great time meeting new fiber friends who felt like old friends right away. The unexpected theme of the meetup was dogs! All the attendees were dog owners, the shop has a new puppy, Marsha brought Enzo, and two of the attendees also had their dogs with them. So a beach run with the dogs was a highlight of Saturday afternoon. On our way to Seabrook we stopped by Olympic Yarn and Fiber Mill for a tour by the owner Lynn Lipski. She is also the creator of Lina Yarns. We toured her current mill and had a sneak peak at the new fiber spinning mill that she is opening in Cosmopolis, WA. Her operation is very impressive and her vision for providing a mill for local fiber and helping to build the fiber supply chain is definitely infectious. Marsha’s Projects I finished Lounging Top by Joji Locatelli. The yarn is Debbie Bliss Juliet. I also finished the first sock with Schahenmayr Regia Design Line by Arne & Carlos. I’m using Knitted Wit Smarties for the toes and heels. Note: 45-yard mini skein is enough for heel and toe of one sock. I’m making another 1898 Hat by Kristine Byrnes with worsted weight. This time using Leading Men Fiber Arts Box Office Worsted in the colorway Wild Goose Chase. The pattern is available for free on the Seamen’s Church Institute: Christmas at Sea website. Marsha’s Plans I started Shared Rib by Anne Hanson back in February. The pattern is for a scarf, cowl, or infinity cowl. I’ve knit about 4” of the scarf but think I’m going to rip out and knit the cowl instead. The yarn is from Old Maiden Aunt fingering that in the colorway Crimson Lips that I bought at the Edinburgh Yarn Festival. Halloween is coming! I'm thinking about making the Daphne’s Skull designed by Ellen Sibelius owner of Wooly Wonders. To hear more about her designs check out Episode 109. Kelly’s Projects I’m participating in the Oh Gnome You Didn’t MKAL by Sara Shira. I was keeping up with the clues until I went off to Washington for the meetup. The clue that week involved stuffing the gnome so I put the project on pause for the trip and I haven’t picked it back up. The mystery KAL is now over so I know how the gnomes look and they’re very cute. I’ll finish my two in time for Christmas and add a couple more traditional looking gnomes to the bunch, but right now I’m not in the mood for small pieces, stuffing or sewing. I did start a pair of socks at the meetup. They are out of Little Fish Stitches yarn in the Seabrook Sunset colorway that is exclusive to String Theory Yarn and Fiber. It’s a very pretty orange and purple combination. Other than that, my knitting has hit a stall. I'm in a funk. Maybe that’s for the best since it’s almost time for the 19-20 Winter Weave Along! It will start on October 15th and go until March 15th. For handouts from the last two years, go to the pages section of our Ravelry Group. Third Quarter Patron Appreciation drawing!

Be A Helper KAL Started on December 5th but I didn’t record last week because Christmas shopping (had to buy all presents by last Saturday – long story) and laryngitis. If you finished a WIP for charity on or after December 5th go ahead and enter it. Any thing made for any charity – not just ravelry crafts Donate blood Wips count FO Thread is here Prizes Free pattern from Jennifer Lassonde of Downcellar Studios 1 skein Cascade 220 in an orangey peach color from an anonymous donor and a mini skein of merino – thank you very much, donor!

About 3/4 way through folded ribbing Find Your Fade shawl. I’m on section , the 2nd lace section and still in color #1, the raspberry-dyed handspun cotton that I’ve mentioned in past episodes New socks, these are an un-Christmas gift that I will mail to Maura in January. I’m knitting these up in CoBaSi, which is a cotton, bamboo, silk, nylon blend that is super stretchy and breathes beautifully on sweaty feet. The toes, cuffs and heels are a blue/gray blend called Wave Caps, and the foot and leg in a gray named Seattle Sky.

I’ve also gone for a few swims and boy do I need a swimming cap! Last time I went swimming it was 25F out (-4C) and that is just too cold to have soaking wet, long hair. Running Talk – Fitbits and other trackers On my last episode I mentioned that I like having a fitbit because it keeps me honest and a listener, Marie, wrote in saying she’d heard that the data isn’t accurate and wanted to know how I used it. Thanks very much for writing in Marie. If you have a question about fitness, running, knitting, patterns, GALs or anything else feel free to write in.
