Description
Episode 12: It’s Salsa Season.
Note: Steve the Editor, Terri's husband, has an opening note for this one. This episode has some technical difficulties and we are not really sure why. But Steve the editor worked his magic and it is listenable. We are so sorry! We thought about ditching it, but Libby and I always have so much fun when we record together. We will put another out very soon if this one isn't one you can get through.
Topics today include Litterbox, PAWS, From Fluff to Stuff, Fibercats Dyepots, Ooh Shiny!, Leisure Suit, Catnip, and the Fluff.
Litterbox
Terri: I have a million tomatoes. Stress.
Libby: SO MUCH WORKING. Visiting family this weekend
PAWS
Terri:
Gramps Cardigan- Kate Oates- Did NOT DO!
Mystic Square-by James Watts - nope
Butterfly Wing Shawl- Stephen West. I did work on this a bit here and there. Mostly in the car. But, it is coming along.
Gramma’s Medley Sweater- Tina Tse Knits. I STARTED IT.
Libby:Colorblock Bag by Dabbles and Babbles - About halfway through the back side of the bag SO CLOSE
The Happy Camper- No progress, but I’m about to knock this one out since I want to wear it at the end of the month
Dino- No progress yet, haven’t restarted. Probably will after I finish my bag
FO PAWS
Terri: Best Vest-James Watts in Bounce Dk Mermaid by Rainbow Peak Yarns -I finished. It’s lovely.
Breathe and Hope- by Casapinka I started this…well over a year ago. It’s being worked up …in Malabrigo Mechita, and I think the colorways are Paris Night and Lynx. Don’t quote me on that but those look the closest.
From Fluff to Stuff -
I plied and washed my super shiny yarn. I need to take a bunch of pictures. It’s gorgeous. I also spun up 4 ounces of BFL from grittyknits. I plied it together and it is ready for a wash. I started spinning a couple of hot pink rolags. I’ve got about 2 ounces of that ready to be plied and then also started a gorgeous blue braid I got at the Fargo Fiberfest. It’s by Qwerky (gotta look this up.) and it’s a 40%merino, 40%superwash merino and 20% silk. It’s very lovely. I have 2 4oz braids of that.
Fibercats dyepots: Introducing. Terri dyed some stuff.
Ooh Shiny! Bare yarns. Wool2dye4, knomad, indie dyer, knitpicks.
Dyes. Dye videos.
Chemknits
Essence of Autumn
Libby:
ALL THE PUMPKIN PATTERNS. Love seeing the fall designs
Going to go to Joanns this week to look for some fall yarns for some pumpkins to crochet
Puffy Pumpkin - Dogwood Crochet…textured pumpkin with crocheted stem
Rustic Pumpkin - HH Stitchery…says its beginner friendly. Looks like a cinnamon stick stem?
Pumpkin - OTHCrochetNook on insta, free pattern cute little pumpkins with cinnamon stick stems
Wreath - OTH CrochetNook, free I may need to get big hook and some chunky yarn but I could knock this out pretty quickly I think
Leisure Suit-
Terri: Finished Better Call Saul. Will talk about that. And how I see Saul in Breaking Bad. Immediately dove into Breaking Bad. Still not convinced. I get why people like Jesse. But he does some dark stuff in season 3.
Libby: Finished this season of the bachelorette, which means BIP starts soon!!!!
On season 2 like episode 4 of Only Murders
Started Curb your enthusiasm - seen bits and pieces over the years but never the whole thing, almost done bc we keep it on in the background a lot
Fall means its time for a Gilmore Girls rewatch
Catnip-
Terri: I had to reach for one as it has been a rough couple weeks. But, ok. Salsa. I love Salsa Season. It’s here and I have a ripe ghost pepper in my garden. That means ghost pepper salsa! But, also…family visit. I had to add this in since I had the other catnip when we were going to record last week.
Libby:
I had to reach as well, bc same, but I did get a promotion at my job so I am now a QA Estimator.
We did have a nice little bday party for our friend a couple weekends ago.
The Fluff-
Terri: Bowie is graduating to big kitty foo
