  • Projects
    • Joey continues to talk about not working on a scarf for his son.
    • Greg is working on his Halcyarn Socks (project page). First sock is complete, and he\u2019s about 50% done with the foot\xa0of the second sock. He\u2019s hoping to move this to FO by the next time we record. He loves the contrasting cuffs, toes, and heels in black, but he hates weaving in the ends with black yarn. Yarn is custom-dyed by Dr. Kelly from the Ewe University podcast.
    • Greg knitted a\xa0Knitted Travel Mug Kit, pattern by Knits4Comfort. He highly recommends the kit, which is available in Jenn\u2019s etsy shop.
    • Greg knitted an In Threes\xa0(project page) by\xa0Kelly Herdrich\xa0for an upcoming baby shower. He loves this pattern, it makes a great baby gift. He knitted it in Twist Fiber Studio\xa0Haywood Worsted in the \u201cGirl At The Rock Show\u201d colorway.
