Holiday fun has exhausted Marsha while Kelly has been busy making a butt-shaped divot on her couch. Plus we have a patron giveaway and a surprise Winter Weave Along prize today! Full show notes with photos and links can be found in the podcast section of our shop website: TwoEwesFiberAdventures.com.

Marsha\\u2019s Projects

I haven\\u2019t knit a stitch on the Holey Comfort cardigan by Hinterm Stein,\\xa0 but I did wind the fourth skein. I plan to bring it on a New Year\\u2019s trip and make some good progress. But I am the boss of my knitting, so I might choose to work on something else instead!

I turned the heel and started the gusset of a\\xa0 pair of socks for myself using Drops Fabel Print that I bought at the San Luis Obispo yarn crawl back in 2014.\\xa0

I also finished a holiday tea cosy in red and green using the pattern Nanny Meiers Tea Cozy by Amelia Carlson published by Fiber Trends. I used spirit yarn from Sears!\\xa0

Finally, I\\u2019m swatching with Little Fish Stitches fingering for a Tee called Walk Along by AnkeStrick.

Kelly\\u2019s Projects\\xa0

I\\u2019ve been working a lot on the Persian Tile Blanket for my grand niece. I\\u2019m following the color choices (sort of) of a project by JenasaurusWake that I saw while watching FO radar. I\\u2019m using Knit Picks Brava Worsted in lots of fun bright colors and making color choices to make all the octagons look like they have different sized flowers in them.\\xa0

With Friends Pullover. I\\u2019m using two patterns:\\xa0 Rachel by Jos\\xe9e Paquin, and Fresh by Jos\\xe9e Paquin. I\\u2019ve put the hem on waste yarn and picked up for the first sleeve. I\\u2019m going to start with the dark green at the top of the sleeve and then move into the stripe colors. I\\u2019ll do the sleeves similarly to the Fresh pattern where the sleeves are mostly one color and then there is a little bit of striping.\\xa0

I finished 14 dishcloths in the Triple L Tweed stitch 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. I totally used up four different 108-yard skeins of Tahki Cotton Classic\\xa0

Pack of three Field Notes notebooks in the Snowy Evening design.\\xa0

Stuck at home we are reliving memories of travels. For the next few months we will be having a once a month patron giveaways to remind everyone of faraway places.\\xa0
