Hope you enjoy this week’s show!
Laura has on the needles some self-designed socks out of STR lightweight in the Fire on the Mountain colorway (size 1.5 needles) and also has some cutest booties on the (1.5) needles. This yarn was purchased at the wonderful Sweet Sheep Yarn shop when I first began knitting. Laura has begun a Shaelyn out of handspun superwash BFL from Numma Numma for Knitting Pipeline’s Shaelyn KAL. It is being knit on size 6 Signature Needles.
Leslie is knitting on a new sweater using Jared Flood’s class notes about EZ’s sweater percentage system (You can find more details about it in Knitting without Tears). She is knitting in on needles from Glass Pens and Signature. We are sweater drama queens! Cowl out of the lovely Aran weight from Another Crafty Girl on size 9s (still needs to be joined).
Laura has finished a Frostbite hat out of Cascade Ecological Wool from Hank of Yarn. If you have time Glenna C. has a wonderful blog. Laura also finished an Age of Brass and Steam out of the handspun of Frabjous Fibers in the Ink colorway of their glitter blend.
Leslie has finished a Thermis out of her Cakewalk yarn in the Weenie colorway (she is holding it doubled).
Laura has spun a 3 oz batt from on the wheel from Dawning Dreams. It is 160 yards of a 2-ply. She has also started some Tempted roving in the Treehugger colorway. She has also spun 60 yards of super bulky thrums from Moonwood Farms.

Wow! I’m the first comment! Enjoy the podcast!
Love the pink. Could it get any brighter? Love the podcast and the picture book too.
I love watching you guys!
Love that pink! Have safe travels these next few weeks. Also, this was my first Rhinebeck and you should definitely try to go next year.
Boy that pink colorway is bright. That hot pink could cause permanent retinal damage.
I love that fabulous pink yarn! Fingers crossed.
Great show as usual. My DGD would love something made out of shocking pink.
Another fun episode! I would love to win the “you gotta wear shades” yarn, and will check out that etsy shop too. P.S. I love the Peter Brown book! I must get it!
Wow – that is bright- love it!
i love that super bulky pinkish handspun!
That flaming pink would make an awesome Breast Cancer Awareness Monster.
So many things made me smile this week: the pride shirts, Lala’s desperately avoiding saying “that’s what she said” after saying “large balls,” and the m1s ending up on top of Leslie’s sleeves (oy – bad sweater juju). AND I love the electric pink yarn. Thanks y’all!
Great show! Love your shirts!!
I liked the show, I’m really inspired to do more with my handspun. I think your purple/grey handspun would look AWESOME with some beads on it – something grey or silver or pearl – winter ice looking. Maybe a pair of beaded wristwarmers? or fingerless lacey gloves? The pink is very cool – I knit a hot pink hat for my niece when she was little and she about wore it into June. It was a hit – and that’s a good color for you to put next to your face with your coloring.
I’ve been crocheting, it’s kind of nostalgic for me. I did a lot of it as a kid and in nursing school. But I’ve about come to the end of the ‘crochet era’ and am ready to enter a ‘finishing era’. I am finding all these knitting bags with stuff in them – there’s a time to pile up projects and then there’s a time to knock them out. I want to be ready to start something new when my Cloudlover fiber shows up.
Safe travels, Girllls.
Love the pink. I would think one would be half blind when they get finished making whatever out of it. Travel safe.
Makes me so happy to see your podcasts each week.
I gotta say that yarn is rocking. Thanks for sharing it with us viewers.
Love the sweater Leslie! Sorry about the sleeves. The booties are adorable Laura, sorry they are such a pain but Penelope will love them!
That is one bright pink! My niece would love it.
Boy, is that pink! And I don’t have any pink in my stash right now.
I love your show, and I LOVE that pink! I just printed a sock pattern that would be perfect for it.
I also love your show and my daughter’s fav color is pink. Would love to make her something…. Debbie H
Loved the shawl!

I love the PINK giveaway yarn. And I know 3 little girls who would, too. If I win, which one will get a new hat???
Great show this week! : D, and love that yarn!
Thanks for these great giveaways, they are lots of fun!
Love the pink yarn! Lala, your handspun is always so gorgeous! Leslie, your sweater is beautiful. Can’t wait to see the finished project!

LOVE your show!
Wow, that dazzling pink is wonderful!
Omigosh, that pink is AWESOMELY awesome!
5 stars!!!!
Leslie, you did great in adapting the yoke with other yarns. Colours blend very nicely.
Laura, I don’t make socks, but appreciate the efforts of those who do. Your cable-designed look so pretty with the yarn colour chosen.
What a pain having to do the double to Little Rock and back. (Obviously a bloke who organised the time and fare tables.) Isn’t there anyone who could drive you to L R, so you could leave the ‘plane in Memphis?
Loved the T-shirts.
xxxxxx
GORGEOUS! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Awesome show once again!

Another fabulous show – thanks ladies!
I love pink!
The pink colorway is fabulous!
As always, you made me laugh. and who wouldn’t want some radioactive yarn.
That pink is Amazzzzing! It’s funny that I’ll be in Va., and probably at Fibre Space, a week after y’all will be there.
Awesome pink! I want! I am really enjoying your podcasts. Have never had interest in spinning but y’all are going to convert me.
Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness month. Love the color!!!!
That is so my COLOR! I love pink, hence my Ravelry name “Hot Pink Socks”. Great podcast as always ladies!!
Too bright for me but with 2 and 5 year old girls in the house, we will put it to VERY good use!
I love the pink yarn! I would love to knit with it!
I would describe it as “retina searing”… wow! That is crazy bright! very cool!!
As always you both amaze me! Love your work & webcast!!! Wow – the yarn you’re giving away would be a huge hit with my four and a half year old daughter! She LOVES pink & is always asking me to knit her hats & scarves…. hmmm….. pick me, pick me! ( : The yarn looks amazing! Also, loved the book review – more money to spend!!!
Stephanie (indigodogmt on Rav)
Just found you two, and Loved watching and listening to the podcast! Hot neon pink yarn, what not to love;) Yummy!
Just found you guys. Love it!
I rebelled against my mother dressing me in pink for the first ten years of my life and didn’t wear it for nearly two decades following that period. However, for some reason, about a month ago, I fell in love HARD for anything pink. This yarn rocks my socks! And so do you two, obviously.
The problem with sweaters is that they take so freaking long to make, and it sucks seeing all of those other sizes. I know that the last time I fit in XS I was probably in middle school.
Molly : )
I can always find something to do with pink yarn! Again, great episode this week, Thanks! (Hope I am doing this right, clicking the widget and then leaving a reply down here in the comments section to enter the giveaway… if not I apologize if I accidently entered for contest twice and understand if that eliminates me.)
Oh, pretty pink! Having fun watching the podcasts. They help me stay inspired to knit and try new things.
love you guys
I love the yarn! Soooo cute!
I love your fiber! So beautiful!
Love your podcast.
I love you’re podcast it’s always a great addison to my week. You guys always put a smile on my face.
Oh boy thats such a wonderful color I’d so love to be able to have it.
Love your shirts – could totally relate to the sweater drama comment
Safe travels – look forward to next week’s episode.
I’m so glad that I found this blog! I look forward to it every week. I only wish I would have found it sooner, so that I could participate in SSK. Love the super pink yarn. Safe travels, ladies!
you posted another winner
That yarn color is crazy fabulous!
Love the T-shirts!
My favorite podcast of yours yet! Could it be because I’m struggling with a sweater pattern so I am also in the mode of “sweater drama queen?” Pink yarn for your giveaway – Wow!
Great pink yarn!!! Have fun on your adventures girls.
Wow I just love that color. I would really like to win. Keep up the good work on the podcast. I really enjoy it. Have fun on your travels.
That yarn is so lovely, must try my luck
Such an awesome bright pink!
Another great show!
I love that pink!! Want!!
I love the yarn! Thanks for the chance to win it!
Do I need more yarn???? OF COURSE!!!!!! Thanks for an awesome show.
Shades are a definite with that yarn! It is very girly and would make many pretty things
I’m crossing my fingers. A hat, shawlette or gloves made in that crazy pink yarn would definitely brighten up a cold, dreary Chicago winter!
Great show. Lovely pink!
Yay for pink! Love your podcast!!!
I love the show!!!!!!!!! I would also LOVE to win the pink. My husband thinks you guys are everywhere because I play your podcast every day and you are on every electronic medium in the house. lol (I just started watching 4 months ago and I’m trying to watch every podcast.)
PS I am not a stalker.
Love the pink and I have a 3 year old granddaughter who “reminds” me daily that her favorite color is pink!
wow! i love that pink. i have some awesome green apple yarn from Twisted Limone that would look awesome as colourwork with that.
Oh my! That pink yarn would be PERFECT for the knitting I do during my new solo show “Are You My Mother??”!! Yes – taking the knitting to the stage! Anyway, loved the episode as always, THANK YOU for your t-shirts, and I just pre-ordered my yarn & fiber! (I’m gonna TRY with my spindle on the fiber, but thanks for having a yarn option too!!) Cheers!
Wow my DD16 would love a scarf and hat out of that….she’d glow in the dark!!
Thanks for another great episode!
Carla

I love learning new techniques.

Thanks for the giveaway

I love the podcast. You girllls are super awesome. I feel like i belong here (even though i’m a knitguyyy shhh don’t tell). lol a lot of knitting groups at the different lys make me feel like an outlander or something and not very welcome so i never joined. but i watched all the episodes over a 2 day period and some on the way to rhinebeck and i think I’m caught up…thanks so very much for what you do.
Ben
Love the pink yarn! Please enter me in your drawing!
Love the podcast!
Another great episode!
Wonderful episode. Love the t-shirts, wonder if I could get by with them in St. Louis. I’m really enjoying the purple streak. Didja have to start the KAL when I’m moving and broke, though? Plus I’m not supposed to knit since I’ve got a bad shoulder. Oh well, I was catching up on podcasts and caved. Thanks for enabling. Love the neon pink yarn. Would make a great sweater for my 10 lb black poodle. Have a good trip
Oh, I would love to meet y’all in Little Rock. I had the chance to meet Laura a couple of time at Hank while visting friends, but have never run into Leslie. When you are in Little Rock, be sure to stop in the Yarn Mart if you have time. Very nice people there. And very loverly yarn. If you like Italian food, Cafe Prego is just a couple of blocks down from the Yarn Mart. Wonderful food. Have a good trip.
I am so happy you reviewed Beyond Toes this week. Judy, a few of the other designers, and many of the test knitters are in my knitting group. They are all wonderful people, and the book deserves to do well.
Thank you.
The pink is awesome! It is amazing how I am entertained week after week watching the two of you! Keep up the great videocasts!!!!
Thanks for featuring the PINK! It was so awesome to read everyone’s comments and feel the love, and as per usual the podcast rocked– so great to be a part of it! And thanks everyone for the kind comments in my Etsy as well
