Nature Notes:\xa0 Panther in Illinois?\xa0 Other in my area have seen it.\xa0Before repeating anything a little bird told you, be sure it wasn't a cuckoo.

Needle Notes:\xa0 I was caught without my shawl comfort knitting last week.\xa0 I fixed a pair of Scottish Kilt Hose that I knitted in 1996 before I became a piper.\xa0 My Fix It Challenge is to review your knitting to see what needs repair or modifications.\xa0 The Norwegian Setesdal Sweater continues.\xa0 I am almost done with the body of the sweater.\xa0 I want to start knitting a shawl, in particular Stripe Study Shawl.\xa0

Pipeliners share their ideas of comfort knitting.\xa0 I review the following patterns from Quince & Co:\xa0 Barcelona Scarflet, Abbey Road Socks, and Sabrina Mitts.\xa0 Leave a comment on the show blog to enter a drawing for one of these patterns and your choice of Tern to make it.\xa0 Also Carrie Hoge's pattern new garter stitch baby sweater and cap are adorable.\xa0 I review Tern fingering weight yarn by Quince.

View a video of Celtic Cross Pipes and Drums in the Peoria IL St. Patrick's Day Parade on the show blog.\xa0 I am in the front row, in the middle and those are my shoes and kilt hose you see for a second or two later on.
