Recorded on August 5, 2015
Our Cardi/Tank or Tee KAL has ended. Be sure to listen until the end of the podcast to hear the winners named.
Our Mother Bear KAL/CAL is going strong! We have over 240 bears so far. Barb reminded everyone to send their bears into the Mother Bear Organization in Minneaplis, MN (including $3 per bear for shipping). Please let either Tracie or Barb know if you would like to donate a prize.
Barb talked about how much she is enjoying the baby birds (House Finches) on her front porch. They will be leaving the nest soon, and she will miss them.
Events
Both Barb and Tracie will be attending the CogKNITive Fiber Retreat October 10, 2015.
Barb talked about how much she is enjoying the Serial Podcast, the Undisclosed Podcast, and the Serial Dynasty Podcast.
KNITTING
Tracie has finished:
Mother Bears #60, #61 & #62. Pictured at left - the Beach Bears!
A pair of vanilla socks for her son, Will, using Berroco Sox, aptly called Boy Sox.
Se[ven]circle by Kristen Johnstone using Universal Yarn Classic Shades Sequins Lite
Barb has finished:
Her Woodfords Cardigan, by Elizabeth Doherty, using Cascade Yarns Heritage Sock in the Camel color way.
Her Rose City Rollers socks by Mara Catherine Bryner, using Undead Yarn Vamphri in the Autism Awareness color way.
Mother Bear #67
Her #21 Classic Cardigan by Sandy Prosser, using Noro Maiko. A dismal failure...way too big, way too boxy. She will not frog it, because of the mohair in the yarn.
