Notes

- There has been interesting discussion about how folks listen to the podcast.
- Projects
- Joey is working on the scarf for his son and will have it finished in time for his son’s birthday next month.
- Greg blocked his Emelyn Mae shawl (project page). It’s a birthday present for his mom.
- Greg finished his new pair of sock: Board Shorts Socks (project page). Knitting with self-striping yarn is addictive. He is using yarn from Julianma’s Fibre and Meadocroft Dyeworks.
- Greg published a new hat pattern: Thundertwist. He’s really proud of it.
- Greg is working on a new shawl pattern. It’s slow going, because he pretty much only works on it on conference calls at the office and during his lunch break.
- Greg started a pair of sport-weight socks for his mom (project page).
- Review: Lorelei’s Journey: Knitting for (Mermaid) Dolls and those who Love Them. Greg and Joey enjoy this book and recommend it to anyone who knits for kids who would enjoy mermaids.
