On the Needles: (00:30)
\\n
\\nCheck our Ravelry group for the "Knit a Square for Alison" project. Jasmin has knit two squares, which are blocking on Knitter\'s Blocks.
\\n
\\nGigi declares that she is tired of knitting vanilla socks, and has\\ndecided to knit vanilla sweaters instead. Gigi is itching to knit some\\npatterned socks. "Vanilla socks are SO last year."
\\n
\\nJasmin is still working on her Lisa Souza Mahogany socks and her Bird of Paradise socks (these are on the go knitting). Her Santa Fe wrap is so\\nclose to being done, she can taste it. Jasmin decides that the Noro\\nKureyon Sock should be fine as a garment, but isn\'t so sure about how\\ndurable it will be for socks. Jasmin is looking forward to wearing it\\nat Stitches West.
\\n
\\nJasmin has knit one Jacoby mitt this week. Gigi has finished the Neckdown Wrap Cardigan, and has decided to buy more of the lovely brown Venezia.
\\n
\\nGigi has put another repeat on the On the Vine scarf. Gigi has decided to knit in the afternoon when her biorythyms are low. Gigi is working on the Perfect Tee, and a watch cap in Cascade 220 superwash. Jasmin waxes poetic about Cascade 220.
\\n
\\nJasmin talks about "relative knitting" and "yarnlemia".
\\n
\\nMother Knows Best: (23:00)
\\n
\\nGigi has finished the Neckdown Wrap Cardigan, and has been hunting for\\nthe right closure. They will be digging in Jasmin\'s button box.
\\n
\\nWhen Knitting Attacks: (28:00)
\\n
\\nJasmin followed Tika\'s and Candy\'s\\nlead and decided to knit a pair of Jacoby mitts. She pulled out some\\nJade Sapphire 2-ply cashmere out of her stash, and cast on. Sadly,\\nJasmin\'s brain wasn\'t engaged, and she knit 4" of the Jacoby before she\\ndecided they were too big. While she was ripping, she discovered that\\nthe Jade Sapphire 2-ply cashmere is fragile. Jasmin has reworked the numbers and is making good progress on them now.
\\n
\\nGigi is frustrated. She has been working on the "Perfect Tee"\\n(Ann Norling pattern #67) sweater. Gigi got a copy of the revised\\nversion, which was supposed to have the corrections.\\xa0 Gigi has\\ndiscovered that it is wrong, again. Jasmin has called Ann Norling to\\nget corrections, left a message, and hasn\'t gotten a call back.
\\n
\\nIf you have bought the Perfect Tee Pattern, Jasmin recommends calling\\nthe LYS you purchased it at and request that they call Ann Norling and\\nlet her know that the pattern has some issues.
\\n
\\nEvents:
Meet and greet with the Knitmore Girls at Stitches West in the Purlescence booth from 2-4pm, Saturday, February 28, 2009.
