The knitting has been naughty, but the Ewes have plenty to say about potential new projects and combo spinning. For photos of the Combo Spin sweaters that Marsha has made, check out our full show notes with pictures here.\\xa0

Marsha has been working on her Little Wave cardigan and is almost finished.\\xa0 The pattern is by Gudrun Johnston.\\xa0 Although Marsha has known how to read for a long time, (and has a degree in Literature) her reading skills failed her at times on this pattern.\\xa0 Who hasn\'t had that problem!\\xa0

Marsha\'s other active project, a Summer Fjord in DK weight, is requiring calculations and modifications since the original pattern calls for fingering weight yarn.\\xa0 So this project spent some time in the knitting bag due to complications.

Kelly is making a Summer Fjord, too (in lace weight). She has finished the bottom ribbing. Now its at the point of picking up sleeves--not the most relaxing part of the project so it also sits in its bag.\\xa0 The pattern is by Trin-Annelie.\\xa0\\xa0

The Argyle socks have also been naughty.\\xa0 The criss-cross lines aren\'t matching up with the corners and centers of the diamonds.\\xa0 They will have to be ripped back to a point where they can be fixed. Meanwhile, the Two at a Time socks aren\'t much fun, and a LOT of conference and travel knitting time left Kelly feeling tired of knitting on the Sommer Sleeveless Top. GASP!!\\xa0\\xa0

All this knitting misbehavior has led to thoughts of new projects.\\xa0 Kelly is planning a sweater and talks about Melaine by Julie Partie, Bloom by Anne B. Hanssen, and the Koru Cardigan by Francoise Danoy.

Nevertheless, the Ewes find plenty to talk about with a listener question from Leona on Combo Spinning. Marsha is working on her third combo spin yarn and Kelly is in the process of preparing some Lincoln roving for a combo spin.\\xa0\\xa0

There is a lot of information about Combo Spinning and some great pictures in the Spin-Off Ravelry discussion group.\\xa0 There was a Spin-Along-Knit-Along in 2017 that was kicked off by an article by Debbie Held in the winter 2017 Spin Off magazine.\\xa0 The Passioknit Spinners Podcast also has some great information about Combo Spinning and an informative discussion on the her Ravelry group.
