There isn't a single purl in the project, and the eyelets are easy to work. Many of you will only need to reference the pattern occasionally once you understand the basic increases and increase repeats. I designed this to take along on a European vacation. I wanted something with a bit of interest, but that wouldn't be too large, wouldn't require too much brain space and that wouldn't work up too quickly (as smaller travel projects tend to do). - Note - This pattern has already been Tech Edited & Test Knit, so it should be smooth sailing!   On a Happy Note I went to see Irish comedian Tommy Tiernan with Megg, Tom & Matt. Seeing my 11 year old niece perform in Matilda. Zach's 1st birthday dinner. Riley got 2 awards in her last dance competition of the season!   Quote of the Week Do not look back.

Ask Me Anything I receive a comment on the blog from Lisa suggesting a new segment on the podcast called “One Year Later” where I would “Revisit items you finished one year ago and discuss how they’ve held up. How is the yarn looking? Wearability? Does it get frequent use or is it time to frog it?” Do you like this idea? Come tell me in the Down Cellar Studio Ravelry Group. This time I talked about my Soldotna Crop which I finished 2/29/20. Click here for my Ravelry Project Page. I used Brown Sheep Prairie Spun DK in two colors of gray and Daschinger Wools for yellow and turquoise. All non superwash. Worn many many times. No signs of pilling. No stretching. Love it!

In this episode, you really need to wait for it because it's so worth it.^ Danie does a balancing act, and if Susie could wink, she totally would have. Stuff & Things Simma down now!  Finished Projects Susie started and finished her Soldotna Crop since the last episode and within that same week also finished her Holly. She also finished her Life's a Peach Socks. Current Projects Danie swatched (like, *really* swatched) for a Jilted, which is her Mother's Day Cast-On. Susie worked on her The Shallow Voice of Reason Socks and her Blue Jeans & Tie-Dyed T-Shirts Socks. She also cast on a new pair of striped socks using Must Stash Yarn Perfect Must Match in the Ready Player One colorway. She also worked on her Moonquake and cast on her Mother's Day Cast-On project - the Siberian rustic shawl using a thing for string Himalayan Sock in undyed and Stained. Enhance the Stash Susie enhanced her stash with a skein of Suburban Stitcher Merino DK in the April 2019 Park Passport Yarn Club - Carrizo Plain National Monument colorway. ^No Prairie Girls were harmed during the recording of this episode.

In this episode, the girls are joined by a couple canine co-hosts. Susie is not mad at extra soccer practices, and Danie has been channeling her inner Bob Villa in lieu of knitting. Stuff & Things A big thank you to Rachel of Unraveled Designs, designer of the Outlander Shawl, who reached out to Susie to suggest an alternate edging. So kind! Finished Projects Hahahahaha....None finished projects. Again. Current Projects Susie worked on both of her Life's a Peach socks again (this one and this one).
