Marsha\u2019s Projects

Alpaca Shawl: Finished. I learned so much about weaving on this project. I had so many broken warp threads that I've gotten really good at repairing them.

Camella Hat: by Katie Pomper. Using Meeker Street Olive\u2019s Outerwear DK in the colorway Dragon\u2019s Breath.\xa0

Nanny Meier Tea Cozy: Inspired by Lily Pulitzer colors. Using Cascade 220 in hot pink and lime green. Cast on the second side.

Fine Sand: by Heidi Kirrmaier. Using West Yorkshire Spinners Illustrious. Finished the second sleeve but I don\u2019t really like the sweater. Bringing to California for Kelly to give me her thoughts.

Socks: The Artful Ewe Clackamas. Starting toe of first sock.

Baby Surprise Jacket: by Elizabeth Zimmerman. Went to buy yarn at Fiber Gallery to use my gift cards but they have moved and not yet reopened the store.\xa0

Mountain High Combo Spin #3: Cast on and about halfway done with the yoke.

Combo Spin #4: I needed something a bit mindless at the beach so I started my fourth combo spin in red.\xa0

Bloedel Reserve

Churchmouse Yarns

Kelly\u2019s Projects

The Trailer bedroom curtains were finished and installed in time for our trip. The cord at the bottom worked great. I\u2019m going to wash in hot water and dry in the dryer one more time, then I might just rehem them a little shorter so they will hug tighter to the window.\xa0

Almost finished with The Drifter by Tamy Gore, Narrow Path Designs. I probably have about 30 rows left in the pattern.\xa0

For Out of Hibernation I\u2019ve been spinning the batts of Corriedale x Merino x Targhee that I washed, dyed, and carded last summer. The blue is now finished and I\u2019m working on the red-orange. Also for the Out of Hibernation Along, I finally got all the Spin-In prizes sent out!

I started another Classic Knitted Ripple baby blanket using the Red Heart from my mom. There were two grays, black, white and a partial skein of red. I decided I needed to use the white and the pink. The blanket is wider than a typical baby blanket and will take more yarn.\xa0\xa0\xa0

I started a sock out of another skein of Comfort and Joy Enjoy. This one is also an Oopsie colorway. I\u2019m thinking of it as Wine and Cheddar or maybe Wine and Mustard. I\u2019m finished with the cuff and debating about what patterning to use on the leg.\xa0

Chicken Mania

Ravelry Tips and Tricks

Sarah Salpal1 says:

\xa0It\u2019s not a secret, but the Ravelry tip that helps me the most is the ? Button next to \u201cpreview\u201d on the posts. It tells how to do all kinds of formatting things, which is very helpful. She showed (for example) how to make a spoiler alert so that your text will be hidden unless someone clicks on it.\xa0

Out-of-Hibernation Along\xa0

February 1 - June 1. Have you started? Find something that has been in hibernation and get it out and do something. Back to active status, frogging and reclaiming yarn, giving away, throwing away, composting\u2013this is spring cleaning for your project list. Check in with your progress in the Ravelry thread.\xa0

Seattle Opera Production of Barber of Seville

Friday, May 17th

20% discount on tickets with the code KNITTER20

Seattle Opera is having a Relaxed Performance of our production of The Barber of Seville. While there will be no changes to the performance, the experience for the audience will have some alterations including:

\u2022 Lights being dimmed in the theater instead of fully dark
\u2022 A relaxed atmosphere allowing patrons to talk and vocalize as they wish
\u2022 Being able to leave and re-enter the theater as needed
\u2022 Special areas designated as a technology use area

\u2026and much more.

These adaptations are designed for a multitude of people and as a knitter myself, I couldn\u2019t help but think this would be great for groups of fiber artists to attend and craft throughout the show! While I can knit a basic pair of socks during a performance, having the lights up alone will make it easier to find any dropped stitches or check a pattern.

More information about the production can be found at www.seattleopera.org/barber. More information about what a relaxed performance entails can be found at www.seattleopera.org/themenights.

Associate Director of Marketing and Knitter

Thank you Meg for offering listeners a discount on tickets. It should be a fun event.
