Episode 149: Survivor: Blip Edition


WIPs this week include the Sockhead Hat, Felted Clogs, Star Leaves Shawl, Insulate Hat and Duotone Cowl. We had no FOs this week, although Sheila had one clog knitted up. Baubles and Bling included needles and yarn from our girls' weekend to Webs, and a cross stitching Grime Guard from KnittingGeisha on etsy. We announced the winners of the February Stash Busting thread, the Ravellenics thread and the Two Grey Dogs Designs contest. We are starting a new Stash Busting thread for March and will give away a Grime Guard next week.
