Marsha\\u2019s Projects:

I haven\\u2019t touched my Dusk Into Twilight Shawl by Rosemary Hill since we last recorded. I\\u2019m using Two Ewes Fiber Adventures Replenish Rambouillet fingering dyed by Kelly in three colors, Bourbon and Suede, Falling Leaves, and Aquamarine.\\xa0

I\\u2019m knitting on my John O Groats socks as we record. Using Yarns From the Plain sock yarn.

We talked so much in the last episode I forgot to mention that I cast on a pullover called Isle au Haut by Beatrice Perron Dahlen. I\\u2019m using Imperial Yarn Columbia which is an aran weight in the color Juniper Green. The yarn has lots of knots. About 10-15 per skein. Really surprising that the company thought this was okay. Maybe this is why the yarn was on sale! My bust is 40\\u201d and the finished size choices were 42\\u201d or 46\\u201d. I decided to cast on the smaller size but add eight stitches (2\\u201d) to get 4\\u201d of positive ease. We\\u2019ll see if my math works.

Kelly\\u2019s Projects:

Finished the Dew Drop Shawl crochet shawl by Silke Terhorst.\\xa0 My project used a gradient handspun that I made from a Loop Bump in teal, purple, and gray.\\xa0

While at Stitches I made great progress on the Mariannes Cardigan that I am making as a tee. It is a pattern by Trine Bertelsen that combines crochet and knitting. I\\u2019ve split for the sleeves and I\\u2019m several inches down the body. The pattern calls for no waist shaping and I\\u2019m thinking about whether to do a little bit of increasing for a slight A-Line.\\xa0
