Does hearing what others are doing or planning, does that make you evaluate or reevaluate your progress, plans, things you are doing? I find myself doing that and then have to remind myself that I am not in a competition with anyone else and to compare myself only to my past self.

Do you have a sweater chest? A dressmaker's mannequin for your shawls, or a special hanger? A box of socks? I tend to roll my handknit socks and put them in a drawer. I only have drawer space for my shawls but worry that by folding them I’ll have fold marks when it’s time to wear them.

In this episode, the girls do what they do best: chit-chat. Finished Projects Susie finished a test shawl. Current Projects Danie worked on her Kristi Socks and her Daelyn Sweater.

In this episode, the girls are back! Stuff & Things Please let Susie know if you are interested in test knitting a shawl or a cowl! Event/Contest/Something The Legend-Prairie contest and the Loosey-Goosey Sweater KAL are both underway; don't forget to check out and post in Ravelry group threads!

She also finished a Two By Two watch cap and added a folded brim to her Thundertwist hat. Current Projects Susie knit a bit on her Oh! Scrap Blanket, and started an LYS sample of her Hellebore Shawl pattern out of Brown Sheep Prairie Spun DK in the Huckleberry Pie colorway. She also cast on a Tracie out of Suburban Stitcher Sock in Cinder and Yarn Lang Syne, and worked more on her Berlin Soft.  Danie made a hard decision to re-work her Daelyn Pullover, and now it is knitting along swimmingly.

Current Projects Happily, Danie added a bunch of squares her Stained Glass Sock Blanket. Less happily, she almost finished her pair of Broncos socks and put in three heels into her Downpour Socks, and realized both are a touch too tight. (The culprit is clearly humidity ankles.) Susie worked on her Endless Maze Socks, and cast on the Weekend Pullover using Luna Grey Fiber Arts Nova Worsted in Brickhouse. finished Oh, Scrap! Blanket squares #20 and #21 of 63, and started a Bunny Hat with Chin Ties using Cascade Yarns 220 Superwash in a buff color.
