Welcome new listeners from the Shorty\'s Sutures and Libsyn Feed podcasts! Welcome also to our listeners from outside the US (including Brazil, Mexico, Sweden, and Norway)!

\\n

Marsha and Kelly announce the winners in the Front Range Bags giveaway.\\xa0 Thanks again to Nancy for offering one of her bags for a prize!\\xa0 If you aren\'t the winner, don\'t despair.\\xa0 She has generously offered a coupon code for 15% off to Two Ewes listeners!\\xa0 Listen to the podcast or visit our Ravelry Group for details.\\xa0 Then go shop for a Front Range Bag!

\\n

Marsha had quite a bit of knitting time while at the hospital with her son.\\xa0 Ben had a bad bicycle accident, but is now doing much better.\\xa0 While at the trauma center she made lots of progress on the Mark\'s Crazy Scarf out of Stonehedge Crazy (mill ends).\\xa0 She has also been working on the Stripe Study Shawl by Veera Valimaki.\\xa0 She is using the yarn she created at Yarnia in Portland.\\xa0 Despite all the knitting time, she has no finished projects this time.

\\n

Kelly is still working on her Color Affection (also by Veera Valimaki).\\xa0 She has used most of two skeins of the peacock blue, most of the large skein of spring green, and has just started on the second skein of brown yarn.\\xa0 She made some modifications to the color pattern so that she could see more color interactions and use more yarn.\\xa0 All that is left is a large band of solid brown at the bottom of the shawl, but it has become so large that each row takes soooooo loooooong.\\xa0\\xa0

\\n

During a Veteran\'s Day camping trip in The Clubhouse, Kelly also made progress on the Hippo (pattern by Heidi Bears).\\xa0 Alas, not enough progress to be able to claim a finished project!\\xa0 She also brought the drum carder so she could continue her fleece processing obsession.\\xa0 The most recent batts are natural colored California Variegated Mutant blended with hand-dyed mohair locks.\\xa0 Both are from very deep stash.

\\n

The Indie Designer Gift-Along starts on Thursday, November 19.\\xa0 Over 5,000 independent designers have their patterns available for 25% off.\\xa0 Knitters and crocheters who have purchased these patterns can participate in a 6-week Gift-Along between November 19 and December 31.\\xa0 See the Indie Gift Along group on Ravelry to check out the pattern bundles and the GAL threads. \\xa0

\\n

A few crochet patterns that Kelly is considering are:

Etheria cowl by Julia Trice

\\n

\\n

Geisha\'s Finest stole by Tanja Osswald

\\n

Both our CAL and the GAL end on New Year\'s Eve so there is definitely some double dipping potential here!
