I want to try another heel in the near future. What do you recommend? Vanilla is the New Black? October: Time & Energy Goal: Look at ways I'm wasting time and energy & reset. Think hard about what I do. Ask "why" more often. When I have an automatic thought- don't just act on instinct. See what really makes sense. Get off auto pilot. On a Happy Note Took a Friday off to go Outlet shopping with my best friend, Kris! I brought my niece Emelyn to Stitch House during the Greater Boston Yarn Crawl. She knit on her cowl for a little bit before we headed north to go apple picking. Met Kris, Matt, Aila and Will for an unseasonably warm day of Apple picking at Applecrest in Hampton Falls NH. Every year they add something- this year it was a sunflower maze. So beautiful. Only regret was not taking photos earlier in the day. They started turning away from the sun as the day went on. Congrats to Mom and Dad on their 40th anniversary! Finished my first session of Hiit Classes at the gym near work. It was brutal but I definitely feel stronger. I was able to sign up for the 3 out of the next 8 I'm able to go to. Ordered 12x12 lay flat photo book Picaboo and love it! My grandmother is on Facebook and sent me this cute message the other day! Made my day! I got a haircut. Loving this shorter look. My niece Aila is going to be performing in the Boston Ballet's The Nutcracker this winter as a lamb.

Please join in the Ravelry group for this podcast. The Michigan Machine Knitting Guild has a group on Ravelry. A really big circular sock machine event is April 6-10 at Cape Girardeau, MO. Put on by the Erlbacher company. The Spring Fiber Expo is coming up on April 9-10 in Highland, MI. I’m going to Spring Fling 2016 in Peru, IN. DAK workshop featuring Charlene Shafer for April 29 - 30. For more information, call Cathy directly at 734-243-3016. 28th Monroe Knitting Machine Seminar July 22 and 23 at Monroe County Community College. With the increased interest in machine knitting, this event may fill up early. Cathy’s email address is: monroeknitseminar@att.net. InterKnit Machine Knitting Guild fall seminar in Glen Elyn, IL October 8 - 9. The Ladies Who Lunch had lunch at Biga Lora in Ann Arbor and had excellent thin crust pizza and beer. We shopped for coned yarn at Forma Fiber Arts in Whitmore Lake, MI. I did some grocery shopping at Hauxing market in Ypsilanti, MI. I bought two knitting machines from my neighbor - the Brother 260E bulky gauge and the Brother 940 standard gauge. I was able to buy a replacement needle here: Denise interchangeable needles on Ebay. Check out the Ask Jack videos if you want to clean and lubricate your knitting machine. Malabrigo Sock yarn shrinks in the dryer. I frogged back to the heel the toe up socks with KnitCircus Gradient Stripes yarn. I need a stretchy rib for the leg. I often use the Fish Lips Kiss Heel pattern by the Sox Therapist especially for toe up socks. I re-started and re-paused the 10 Stitch Blanket by Frankie Brown. I’m using Zauberball yarn in the Tropical Fish colorway and incorporating the Waste Yarn Wrap technique for a totally reversible blanket by Lucy Neatby. I broke one of my Lantern Moon Wood Sox Stix double pointed needles! I used five colors of Rowan Pure Wool Worsted yarn for my tuck stitch blanket. If I don’t frog it for being too long and too narrow, I will use Diana Sullivan’s Scalloped Fold Over Trim for the edge. I made a cast on rag using The Answer Lady’s YouTube video. The Bond knitting machine videos by Cheryl Brunette demonstrate how weight is needed to cast on.
It's Zoolander-aplenty this episode as I come rip-roaring (sort-of) back from having the flu. Zoolander 2 is out on 12th February and Zoolander is one of my favourite films of all time. I a bit love Ben Stiller. Imagine my surprise, then, that there are indeed no patterns on Ravelry for anything Zoolander themed. Not one. Not even a cheeky little amigurumi Hansel... So, don't kill the president of Micronesia. Just chill out a bit more. Relax, Derek! In Enabler's Corner, courtesy of Helen Stewart of Curious Handmade and Paula of Knitting Pipeline, I enable you to the Fish Lips Kiss Heel pattern. Let's get the Sox Therapist and her kids together for a big reunion. Breast cancer ain't fun. I am offering to gift a pattern to the first ten people that reply to the thread in the group on Ravelry. There are a pair of Edinburgh Yarn Festival tickets up for grabs in a giveaway on the Ravelry group. I'll be attending and taking part in the Podcast Lounge again. You can find all the details at www.edinyarnfest.com Wippin' Piccaddilly has Owligan by Kate Davies, Voodoo by Boo Knits and a pair of afterthought heel socks in yarn from The Golden Skein. Future knits are pretty much any hat by Clare Devine (Tea Collection) and Frisson by Brittany Wilson, available from Ravelry. Show notes are at www.shinybees.com Music for this episode is 'I Need a Drink' by Adam and the Walter Boys.
