On the Needles: (3:20)
Jasmin is a little forlorn about missing Rhinebeck this year. Jasmin loves Rachel's (of the Knit Cents Podcast) sweater forecast. Gigi gives a short synopsis of the Pacific International Quilt Festival. We talk about our incredibly wild and wooly weekend. Jasmin is working on Meghan's Sweater Swap 2010 Twist Cardigan. Gigi dug out some old projects for Finishing Friday; she wove in all the ends on her Katarina cardigan.
Jasmin had a knitting crisis, and couldn't find the skein of Abstract Fiber Temptation (in Snapdragon) or the socks she had started for Andrew out of the Creatively Dyed J'ouvert in "Cake". Gigi has worked on her Aeolian shawl. Jasmin is still working on her Supernatural socks, and was tempted by the new Supernatural colorways from Damselfly Yarns. Gigi has dusted off her sewing machine!
Join our Knit-A-Long! Gigi is knitting the Cassidy cardigan out of Manos Rittenhouse, and Jasmin is knitting the Cece Cardigan. You can find the Cassidy KAL thread here, and the Cece KAL thread here.
Mother Knows Best: (21:56)
We talk about converting sweater patterns from 5 separate pieces to three-piece sweaters (Body and two sleeves).
When Knitting Attacks: (30:46)
Meghan's Twist Cardigan is attacked by the Dark Chocolate episode of the Knit Wits podcast. Gigi suggested just fixing the cable, and Jasmin describes how she fixed it. Gigi knows best, duh.
Straw into Gold: (37:27)
Jasmin has finished plying the "Oh Pretty Woman" Superwash merino from Crown Mountain Farms. She talks about how different drafting technique yields different color display, and the Vineyard superwash merino from Abstract Fiber.
