Show Notes: “Yippy”

WiPs:
♥ “O1 of O8 socks” in Quaere Fibre yarn.
♥”Lamby’s Sundae Socks” in some of my hand-dye!

Spinning A Yarn:
♥ Finished my Spun Right Round “Glee” batt: ended up with ~130yds to 2oz of fiber, making this chain-plied yarn a light-ish worsted weight.
♥ Almost finished with the singles for my next spin, MoonRover SW Merino top “Rust and Green.”
♥ Next I plan to spin a Southern Cross Fibre top

Stitcher’s Corner:
♥ Storytime Sampler by Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery

Enabling:
♥ Spun Right Round Merino Top “Color Play #87”

♥ Lamby Toes will be having an update with all the pink as soon as I can get good photos! Lighting did not cooperate today, so it’s been pushed back until tomorrow when I can play around and get decent pictures.

Show Notes: “Um Um Um”

FOs:
♥ Ribbed Neck Tube for my daughter made out of Knit Picks Swish and City Tweed HW scraps.

WiPs:
♥ Margo Poncho by Elizabeth Smith ($6 on Ravelry) got a little love this week. I took my time deciding how I wanted to pick up the stitches for the outer ribbing and how much width I wanted to lose from the garment.
♥ “O1 of O8” was also knit on a bit and will likely be slowed down so I can participate in Suburban Stitcher’s February Rainbow A Long.

Spinning A Yarn:
♥ I finished my April 2014 MoonRover club fiber! It finished as a worsted/aran weight 3-ply with 284yds to 5.2oz.
♥ The singles of my spindle-spun Spun Right Round “Glee” batt are resting and awaiting plying.
♥ I’ve prepped my next wheel-spun fiber: it’s another braid of MoonRover!

Stitcher’s Corner:
♥ I have finished the January frame of my “Storytime Sampler” by the Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery. ($17.95 on Big Cartel)

Let Me Enable You:
♥ January 2015’s MoonRover club braid landed in my mailbox today! We get a different fiber than usual because her supplier was late with the usual blend.
♥ I bought a cute sock cube project bag from Nomadic Yarns.

Stitcher’s Corner:
♥ Once Upon A Time Sampler by Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery – January block. This one is giving me some trouble, but I have sorted it out and hopefully it’s smooth sailing from here on out.
♥ Storytime Sampler clue #1 goes live next Wednesday!

♥ Marie asked me a couple of questions regarding socks that I answered this week. The first was about sock gauge, and the second was about laundering. I forgot to mention in this section that commercial detergents are more likely to felt your wool in general, but Tide is one of the worst offenders. Please do not use it on woolen objects unless felting is your objective!

♥ On New Year’s Eve I spent a couple of hours getting real about my fiber stash. I put everything on my bed, sorted it by time acquired and club vs. other purchases, and then I documented it all and tallied it up: I have 365.0 oz of fiber currently in stash. That’s 22.8 pounds…or a toddler! If I make the minimum of my 2015 goal, I should have it down to about 20 pounds this time next year.
