Marsha's ProjectsMarsha has started her shawl with the NoCKRs yarns she got from Duren Dyeworks last year in commemoration of the retreat. \xa0 The pattern is Good Vibes by Nadia Cr\xe9tin-L\xe9chenn.\xa0\xa0
She was ready to start her poncho with some Spirit Yarn, but decided that it was not the right yarn for the pattern.\xa0 Instead she is going to find some yarn that is better suited.\xa0 Late breaking news!\xa0 Marsha got some yarn for the poncho! The pattern she is using is The Rodeo Drive Poncho by Staci Perry.
Kelly's ProjectsKelly has made some progress on the crocheted Crazy Stitch Cardigan. It's a pattern by Michelle DuNaier.\xa0 She has started on the shoulder and is almost ready to start the second side of the sweater.\xa0
She also had a project that was both started and finished since the last episode!\xa0 She made two pair of Helmikuu Boot Toppers (by Sunshine Ravioli) while on a camping trip.\xa0 The yarn was leftovers of Rowan Soft Tweed.\xa0 Each topper took less than a skein, so about 75 yards per topper.\xa0 It was great to use up these leftover skeins.
Yarn GiveawayThe Two Ewes have two giveaways this episode!\xa0 Thanks to Claire from The Woolly Thistle, (and the New Hampshire Knits podcast) we have three skeins of Blacker Yarns to give away:\xa0 Blacker Classic, Westcountry Tweed, and Blacker Swan.\xa0 All are DK weight, 50 g balls of yarn.\xa0 Go to the Ravelry group and answer the question in the Woolly Thistle Giveaway thread to be entered to win.\xa0 Thank you, Claire for supporting the podcast with these three skeins to give away to listeners!\xa0 Here are the skeins that will be given to one lucky winner!
The second giveaway is one of three GORGEOUS hand-dyed skeins Kelly bought from Countess Ablaze in England.\xa0 Kelly told The Countess that she was going to use one of the skeins for a podcast prize, so she included a free tote bag in the order.\xa0 So the lucky winner will win a skein of The Blue-Faced Baron fingering weight yarn in the color "This Ain't a Scene"\xa0 and a black Countess Ablaze tote.
"Advent-ewes"\xa0The Great Poncho Adventure has started!\xa0 It's a poncho-a-long.\xa0 Details are in the episode and in the Ravelry group.\xa0 Make a poncho, a ruana, a buttoned wrap or a cloak.\xa0 Start a new one or finish a work in progress.\xa0 If you post on Instagram use #ponchoadventure
