Description
Episode 21: Starts with Litterboxes, Ends With Litterboxes Topics today include Litterbox, PAWS, From Fluff to Stuff, Ooh Shiny!, Leisure Suit, Catnip, and the Fluff. (Maybe Dyepots)   Litterbox Terri: I’ll start with some pre-fluff. Fluff before the fluff. Bowie got good news. More updates in the Fluff. Last weekend was wafa weekend. This month’s wafa is the 26th, 27th and 28th of APril   Libby: I can’t remember anything that’s happened lol I’m just working all the time. I am moving soon so that will be fun?   PAWS Terri: Layla by Elizabeth Smith. I’m obsessed. Both fronts are done, just about halfway through the back.  Basic Socks that Rock (ravelry)-Petra Machova Kourilova Talk about Sockudrama-this is about yarn not the pattern. After Sockudrama I decided to go with Critical Hit Dyes-Rainbow Blast Rogue Gradient.    Butterfly Wing Shawl- I did work on this a bit. Not much though   Shift Cowl - I’m over halfway.    Leith Hat- I started another in Knicks colors for one of my kids. Using cascade heritage sock. About 4 inches in.   Libby: Colorblock Bag - stashed  Weighted Crochet Blanket - 1 Color left & weaving in ends!!! It is so cozy & big and is missing one stripe but I almost don’t even notice.  Crochet Cozy Legwarmers - Only a row or two of progress as I had to go back and fix some mistakes as I’m getting lower in yarn left and I’m about ½ to ⅔ of the way through. I am going to try and finish these this weekend Wizard Hat by Morale Fiber - haven’t restarted    FO PAWS   Terri: Simple Pleasures in Line weight +Tussock- I did mine in Grittyknits Brushed merino and a ransom sock yarn. The I’m So Basic Sock (Ravelry link)-Summer Lee toe left of one sock (maybe I’ll finish by the time we record)   Libby: none   From Fluff to Stuff and dyepots- Finished spinning up the second half of my Romney lamb from 3L&S and then plied it. It is lovely.   Also finished my Alpaca Merino Fire Star from Clear Sky Fibers, plied that as well.   I spun up a 3 ounce bat from Ajem fiber arts called shark in the water and plied it together with itself. That is a gorgeous mix of plies and purples. It’s quite lovely. I’m not sure what the mix was as I lost the tag. I’m guessing merino…some sari silk.   I had a little of that left over and I plied that with some of the leftover Romney lamb that I had and made a really fun sample sized skein.   I spun up and plied about 3 ounces of rolags from Jesse Javete fiber arts. They were greens! So pretty. Spun up really well.    I also spun a 4 oz braid of merino/bamboo. It was really pretty colors. Was a bit harder to spin, needed a lot of prep. I cannot remember where I got that one so if I can figure it out I will pop it in the notes.     I spun up some fiber I dyed.  Ooh Shiny!  Terri: AnnieCarrawayArt-Cute Crochet Loaf Cats-2 separate links   Looking at socks and vests again. I’m still obsessed with vests. Flannel and Purls mentioned on his last At the Table Youtube that he should make it the year of the vest. I’m here for it. I’ve been here for it.  Nothing in particular. Just taking notes.  The Librarian Vest  (ravelry link) by Skeindeer Knits Ezra Vest- Orlane Sucche And one Cardigan caught my eye Remember the pullover with the granny squares combined with knit fabric by Tanis Lavallee She’s released a cardigan and it is SOOOO cute. It’s called Jethro. Libby: It was a little tough for me to find an ooh shiny episode as I’ve been so busy, I haven’t been able to get much inspo.   I did want to shout out my twitter mutual, Bailey. She crochets and does nails & she sells her crocheted object. If you want to buy something without making it - her website is nails-by-bay.myshopify.com and she is going by Bknotty handcrafts. She’s got some really cute stuffies, hats, and even cardigans right now for sale.Instagram is _nailsbybay   Y’all know I also love amigurumi so I found ANOTHER great designer - lilcrochetedthings
