We\u2019re recovering from Thanksgiving dinner preparations and cleanup. Even with a small gathering, there was more to do than we thought. Full show notes with photos and links can be found in the podcast section of our shop website: TwoEwesFiberAdventures.com.

I haven\u2019t knit a stitch on the \xa0Holey Comfort cardigan by Hinterm Stein,\xa0 but I did wind the fourth skein.

I\u2019m about to start the toe of the second socks for myself using Tilli Tomas Artisan Sock in Coconut Grove. Perhaps they will be finished during the episode!

I talked about possibly returning my spirit yarn to the universe. As I looked at it again I got inspired to make tea cozies. I have the book, Tea Cozies 3 by Sian Brown, Alison Howard and Vanessa Mooncie and have made the Pineapple and knitting Devon Violets.

I finally finished the Sonny Bono jacket. The real name of the pattern is Crescendo and I bought it from Amazing Yarns. The yarn I used is called Curly Locks and is a tailspun mohair yarn. I love this jacket as much as the one I tried on at Stitches in 2018.\xa0\xa0

I\u2019m making progress on my With Friends Pullover. I\u2019m using two patterns:\xa0 Rachel by Jos\xe9e Paquin, Fresh by Jos\xe9e Paquin. To view the changes that I made to the striping sequence, see my project page. I\u2019m back on track after ripping out about 10 rows and I have about an inch or so to go on the body.\xa0

I\u2019 m continuing to knit dishcloths using my favorite stitch pattern, the Triple L Tweed from the Purl Soho Slip Stitch Dishtowels pattern. I cast on a multiple of 3 stitches +1. It\u2019s usually 34 or 37 stitches because I like a compact dishcloth.\xa0

I finished dyeing the CVM 3-ply handspun for another handspun cardigan. I still haven\u2019t selected the pattern but I\u2019ve already made a gauge swatch and I have a few possibilities that I\u2019m pondering.\xa0

I have a few weaving projects. One is a repair to an unusually constructed rug that we have in the living room. The rug was made by sewing down narrow woven strips of wool weft on thread warp to a carpet backing. Our dog Nash had ripped up several strips in a few places on the rug. After investigating the construction I was able to sew the strips down. In some places it looks good as new, in other places it is just stabilized to prevent further damage.\xa0

The other weaving projects are just at the wound warp stage. I have two 7 foot warps that I\u2019ve wound for Christmas dish cloths. As inspiration I used two free patterns from Gist Yarn.\xa0 One set of towels is a white warp with a narrow red stripe on either side and reminds me of candy canes. The pattern I\u2019ll be using is Tidal Towels.\xa0 The other set is a red, white, and green warp that reminds me of ribbon candy. The pattern I\u2019ll be using is Textured Stripe from the Marguerite Davison Handweaver\u2019s Pattern Book.\xa0
