The Ewes have been busy as bees outside of knitting, but still there\'s a finished top, one almost finished, some dyeing, and a couple things on the needles.\\xa0 A bee shawl is on the maybe list, and Kelly is headed to pick up some real bees.\\xa0 Join us for our adventures.

Marsha has finished her Edie tee!\\xa0 The Edie pattern is by Isabel Kramer and the yarn she used is Hempathy.\\xa0 This is her second Edie in Hempathy so no swatching needed.\\xa0 Now that\'s incentive to repeat a project!\\xa0 She doesn\'t yet have a finished project photo and that leads to a discussion of project pages and the Finished Object Radar feature of Ravelry.\\xa0 While talking about the Finished Object Radar on Ravelry, Marsha saw the Hollywood Flare Tunic by Vera Sanen and was intrigued.\\xa0

Kelly is almost finished with her Edie.\\xa0 This is also her second time with the project, but with a different yarn.\\xa0 The yarn is Linen Concerto, a variegated linen, rayon, cotton blend.

Kelly\'s other project, Havannah by Heidimarie Kaiser, is making slow progress, but progress nonetheless.\\xa0

Marsha has been making progress on the Easy Folded Poncho and swatching for some sweaters. Meanwhile, Kelly is intrigued by two crochet shawls.\\xa0 Archangel by Katya Novikova is a pretty lace shawl with a Victorian feel.\\xa0 Hotel of Bees by Christina Hadderingh is a striped shawl with color and texture changes related to bees.\\xa0 The pattern was inspired by the book All the Light We Cannot See.

This weekend Kelly is headed to pick up two packages of bees at BeeKind in Sebastopol, California.\\xa0 Each package holds about 10,000 bees who will be installed into two empty hives.\\xa0 During the discussion she mentions Les Crowder, an interesting and informative beekeeper who is a proponent of treatment free beekeeping.\\xa0
