Episode 25 - We Rule, They Drool!



The Cartoon Smackdown! Wendy and Sheila bring you their usual project chat, incuding the Flutterby Socks and To Eyre shawl. Wendy shows her Fiber Revival purchases and lots of goodies from Wolfe Farms. The ladies discuss their festival schedule for fall.

Show Notes:

On The Dance Card:
Sheila has a Baby Hat on the US 7 / 4.5 mm needles with mystery worsted weight yarn, from my own design.    Sheila is also testing knitting the Picky Hat by Melanie Rose with Dream in Color Classy on US 6 / 4.0 mm.
Wendy is plugging away on her Gawain by Alison Will in Dream in Color Classy on US 8 / 5 mm.

Rate Your Date:
Sheila finished her Cause Hat by Kyle Kunnecke in Cascade 220 in cream and a grass green on US 7 . 4.5m.  Wonderfully written pattern.  I did modify the decrease for the hat.  She also finished the Maile Sweater by Nikki Van  De Car on US 6 / 4 mm and US 7 / 4.5 mm in a myster worsted weight.
Wendy has nothing.

Future Dates:
Sheila is hoping ot finish the baby hat, the test knit hat, start a monster for a swap, start the podcaster challange project and hopefully start my Shetland Shawl and Heath Socks.
Wendy is hoping to cast on for the Podcaster Challange pattern.

Curshes and Heartbreaks:
LynnZimm from KnittingTriathlete raised over 8k about enough for two wishes.  The winners can be found here.  School is back in sesion.

Baubles and Bling:
Sheila got caught in some enabling on plurk.  She purchased "Birds That are Angry" earings for a friend and something for Wendy that I couldn't show.  The shop is name Fyrestorm Creations on Etsy.
Wendy again has nothing.

Thanks Enid and, ewesmama, I feel like we would be friends with so many of our viewers if we could meet up. I love how being on Rav and doing the podcast links us up with our "invisible friends" from the internet!
