Episode #10 - Not Much Knitting


 This episode can also be viewed at blip.tv and iTunes. 
You can find me on Ravelry and Plurk as Knittingden

 I hope I post this ok. Blogger has completely changed it's layout for settings and posts etc, and I haven't a clue how to do half the things I used to!! This weeks episode doesn't involve much knitting I'm afraid. So not really any show notes to link.

I only worked on my April Showers Cowl, and have been spinning a little too. Don't forget to join the Ravelry group if you haven't already, and leave an introduction if you can.

This week I finished my third spinning lesson. I'm trying a different wheel, the Kromski 'Fantasia'. Still working on the April Showers cowl and hubby's cardigan. Finished the Pogona shawl. Was gifted some beautiful yarn and was about to share some gardening info with you, but the Flip camera 'died'!!!

Spinning, I had my second spinning class this week. Learning to ply. Bought some Merino/tencel and some Polworth/Tussah Silk to try.


WIP's:

I cast on for the April Showers Cowl this week. We have a Knit Along Thread in the Ravelry Group.
Also cast on for Steven West 'Pogona' to join in with Knitabulls April KAL.


FO's:
Finished the first Afterthought Heel sock (so technically a HO!) A little too small for me, but fits my daughter, so I'll be casting on the other one this week.
Also finished the thumb on the Twin Leaf Mittens
Still need to add both of these projects to my Ravelry page.
