Litterbox
Terri: It’s my anniversary on the 21st. My husband and I will have 4 years under our belts. Seems longer. Nothing against my husband lol. But during the first year of our marriage the pandemic started.
Libby: Getting ready for Wakaan festival. Been a really busy, but mostly good month. It's FALL!!!!
PAWS
Terri:
Gramps Cardigan- Kate Oates- I did a couple rows
Mystic Square-by James Watts - nope
Butterfly Wing Shawl- still plugging away. Nothing much to report on this.
Gramma’s Medley Sweater- Tina Tse Knits. Mostly been knitting this. I’m about 10 inches into the body. Loving it so far. It’s so far out of my normal color range, but I love it.
Boneyard Sweethearts (Ravelry Link)-Stephanie Lotven-Originally in my Oooh Shiny. I couldn’t wait. I cast this one on. I am using a random hot pink for the band and pom pom. The body will be Knit Picks Stroll tonal in possibly Orbit and natural. Not really sure lol.
Libby:
Colorblock Bag by Dabbles and Babbles - Did a couple rows before all my traveling this month.
The Happy Camper- SO CLOSE. Just have the cord left, which I am going to finish before we leave Tuesday (probably tonight), so that I can wear it. It is gorgeous - decided to make it a little bigger than the pattern is, due to my gauge, yarn, etc. Wanted it a little bigger on my head. The color of yarn I used turned out so beautiful (Lollipop - Knitpicks Chroma)
Dino- Shelved
Pumpkins - shelved until I’m back from Wakaan - I got a migraine the weekend I was going to go to Joann’s to get supplies
FO PAWS
Terri: Random Hat-no pattern, cast on in one of my earliest handspun yarns. The handspun is a combo of two strands. One is a gray shetland and the other is made out of a bunch of rolags. It was really loosely plied, but worked well. It’s a cozy hat. Knit 88 sts 2x4 ribbing. Then sized up my needle and did a quick decrease at the top.
From Fluff to Stuff -
I plied my Barbie pink that I spun from rolags. I adore it. I finished the full 8 ounces of the blue merino/silk
Fibercats dyepots: I have dyed up some more colors for my Halloweenish project. I dyed up a bright orange and a charcoal gray, then did a bright yellow. I will post this week some of my greens that I have been playing with.
Ooh Shiny!

Leisure Suit-
Terri: Finished Breaking Bad. I covered a lot of ground on this since the last podcast. There was a period of time where Skylar was really going through it. Talk about final thoughts.
Started rewatching Charmed. That’s a trip. I vaguely remember the story lines.
Also started rewatching Brooklyn 99. I needed a laugh last night. So, there it is. I only got through 2 episodes.
