This week, I attempted Tunisian Crochet (Spoiler alert: I liked it).  I also tried a couple of new recipes and my husband and I did some sleuthing and family research. My Night Shift Shawl is finished and I started a new shawl from an older pattern, the Boneyard Shawl by Stephen West.

Tunisian Crochet and Other Adventures

This week, I finished the Slider Gloves and enjoyed knitting them, like a lot.  Who knew knitting individual fingers could be so addictive? I also cast on the Luminary Socks by Curious Handmade. I didn't get much done but I'm looking forward to working on them. There are new bags in the Bede Sisters Etsy shop and I'm a sponsor of the Splash Pad Party KAL with Down Cellar Studio.

I Didn't Hate It

This week, I have two finished projects including my Vanilla Socks.  I only worked a little on the Nightshift Shawl, but I cast on the Goldfish Memory Shawl and Slider Gloves.   There's a contest thread in the Ravelry group where you can win a copy of the Slider Gloves.  I'll be working on these in the coming weeks and we can chat about the pattern.  

Three Chicks and a Goat Instigator

This week I don't have anything finished but I have been working on several things.  I'm almost finished with the Super Secret Test Knit project.  I've also gotten past the heel of the second vanilla sock in One Twisted Tree "Frozen Forest of Dean" yarn.  The Nightshift Shawl is coming along and I cast on Goldfish Memories by Casapinka. We have a new male goat who is adorable and are hoping to hatch some eggs in our incubator. Also, I waited for 3.5 hours to buy chicken.

Roostery Plumage

This week, I have two finished projects-Bonbon, a knit toy bunny, and the Milky Oolong Shawl.  I'm very happy with both. I'm still working on the Night Shift Shawl and a pair of vanilla socks are still on my needles but that's it.  Really, just two WiPs. I've been working in my herb garden and dried some oregano and sage today.  Also, I miss being with you all at retreats and festivals this spring.   Wish you were here.

Wish You Were Here

This week, I'm talking about my vanilla socks (there was trouble), my Night Shift shawl progress and how the Milky Oolong Shawl got bigger. I've been doing some gardening and I'm excited about getting my piano tuned. Let's support each other and if you can, buy from dyers and designers who are facing cancelled events.

Support Your Local Dyer

This week I have a new project, the Milky Oolong shawl.  I finished the Kephart Prong Socks and am working on the Night Shift shawl.   The microgreens that I started in my kitchen window are sprouted and ready for eating!  Also, Bentley is feeling much better.

Sprouts and Milky Oolong

This week I've finished a dishcloth and my vacation socks.  I've been working on two other pairs of socks, a plain vanilla pair as well as the Kephart Prong Socks by Pat Hensley. I've still got the Dust of Snow Wrap by Helen Stewart on my needles and I cast on the Night Shift by Andrea Mowry. I've done some indoor gardening and some shopping for supplies while hoping that the corona virus fades quickly.

Starting the Night Shift

This week, I finished the Habitation Throw and the Love and Hearts Hat.  I'm still working on two pairs of vanilla socks and I've pulled the Dust of Snow Wrap out of hibernation. While enjoying the Habitation Throw, I realized that it's perfect for keeping warm when I read with my children.  That lead me to offer some ideas for reading with older children, including teenagers.

Perfect Blanket for Reading

Welcome to episode 102, Sniffles and Vacation Socks.  I'll tell you about my vacation knitting, my subscription box from Yarnable and some sad news on the farm.

Sniffles and Vacation Socks

This week, I'm trying to get back in the podcasting groove.  I finished the Bofur Scarf and the Ljus Shawl.  I'm also working on a pair of socks and the Habitation Throw by Curious Handmade.   I'm hoping for pullover sweater suggestions and thinking about making Christopher Bunny by Susan B. Anderson.  It's going to be quite a year around the farm.

Wow, I Came Back!

This is the annual mini episode just before I leave for the Southeastern Animal Fiber Fair in Asheville, NC.  I am looking forward to being there and seeing all of you! Also, I messed up the Ljus Shawl because I forgot how to read directions.  Sigh.

4th Annual Pre-SAFF Flyby

This week, we're celebrating episode 100 of the Bede Sisters Podcast.  Thank you so much for listening and marking this milestone with me. I have finished two pairs of socks and have another on the needles. There's also a new shawl cast on. Let's party and by party I mean eat snacks and talk about knitting.

Let's Party

This week, I'm talking about my trip to Nebraska.  I visited a friend who raises Icelandic sheep.  Spoiler alert--I brought home a fleece! I'm also excited about Into the Wool, retreat in Crossville, TN, hosted by Dana of Unwind Yarn. 

Icelandic Sheep in Nebraska

This week, I'm checking in with a quick update before leaving for a long weekend trip with my daughters.  We're off to Nebraska and I'm looking forward to visiting a friend's sheep farm. I finished the Swallowtail Kite shawl by Sue Ellen Holmes as well as the Love and Grace shawl by Tamy Gore.  I'm also on the second try of a pair of plain vanilla socks. Thank you to Julia for starting last episode's thread in the Ravelry group! 

Off to Nebraska!

Welcome to the Bede Sisters Podcast with your host, Kay! We'll chat about knitting and country life in South Carolina.
