A Very Palpable Knit

My Projects:

• The Swedish Heartwarmer Shawl - I suppose you could call this my ‘bucket list’ project. I’m stalled at the first chart, after an intarsia/fair isle debacle. This project is from Handknit Holidays, and I am using the recommended yarn, Mountain Colours Bearfoot.
• Cara’s Socks - birthday present for my friend Cara (Date of Birth: April 10). This project is from Favorite Socks, using All Things Heather Yarn.

My Food:

What can you make in a crappy staff accommodation with just a hotplate?

• Apricot, Walnut, & Quinoa Salad - very very tasty, and very fresh. Fruit man comes to Banff every Wednesday with fresh fruit from the Okanagan, which made it even better.
• White Beans in Creamy Sauce

Fibre Fun:

• Make 1 Yarns - My LYS
• Ravelry link to the scarf that contains my first handspun
• Hobbledehoy Batt Club - the club I joined.
• Ladybug Wheel - the wheel I am currently lusting over.
• Olds Fibre Week - my very first fibre festival! A bit smaller than I thought, and of course I was too late to get in on any of the classes.
• I bought undyed silk hankies from Legacy Studio
• I bought 80% Merino/20% Silk in ‘Midnight Magic’ from Aurelia Wool & Weaving
• Shuttleworks is near to my home, I hope to get out there some time soon.

Etsy Revue:

Scotts Mountain Crafts - The makers of my wonderful new swift, which works like a dream. If I put a towel down on my uneven countertops, that makes it perfectly stable

Music:

Today’s music is Drunken Sailor by Blaggards.

As always the theme music is Greensleeves by Lee Harris and the Tijuana Trumpets.

Both pieces are from the Podsafe Music Network.
