Crushes and Heartbreak:
Fault of the knitter, Sheila can not follow directions apparantly. Topsfield Fair too expensive, not much there.

Mellisa gives Sheila and Wendy some lovely yarn and beads to knit the Simple Ribbed Cowl by Orange Flower with these Mods.  Sheila was given Berroco Peruvia yarn and Wendy was given Green Mountain yarn.
Sheila also shows of some Dyeabolical yarn Worsted in I'm Your Huckleberry, which is a lovely deep purple.
Wendy shares her Needle End bag by Cafe Press.
Mellisa shows of her new Trindle. She also received her Hello Yarn Fiber.

I really enjoyed your episode with Melissa and it was better on the couch as you looked more relaxed. What lovely gifts she bought you both, cant wait to see you cast on Wendy. I thought your sock blanket looked like pansies the last time you showed it to us too. I hope you can take some footage of the meetup under the big tree with the other podcasters when you go to Rhinebeck!

You look like you were having so much fun. Thank you for letting us join you.

Sheila, when you write up your hat pattern, please consider including Melissa and Wendy's different decreases.

The pattern is "Simple Ribbed Cow" and the beaded version is described in a project on Ravelry by a user called "knittimo."
