<div>
Kim is doing a FOFIF (Finish or Frog it February,) and she's really enjoying it. She made a project <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/fofif" target="_blank">page </a>for it on Ravelry and it has been very rewarding to finish things from her pile of wip's (17!!!). So far, she has finished her faded and marled <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/marled-and-faded" target="_blank">pullover</a>, a <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/baby-blanket-2" target="_blank">baby</a> blanket and a pair of <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/frankensocks-2" target="_blank">shorty</a> frankensocks. She is actively working on her Lissycasey<a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/lissycasey-sweater" target="_blank"> cabled </a>sweater and her Advent <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/advent-mkal" target="_blank">Mkal </a>shawl. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
She has decided to continue the FOFIF into March, so stay tuned for more news about her progress in the next couple of eps. Kim also finished her <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/ravello" target="_blank">Ravello </a>pullover since the last podcast. </div>

Marcy finished her Just Like Honey <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/just-like-honey" target="_blank">shawl</a> and she loves it and is wearing it a lot. She is now knitting monogamously on her <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/zweig" target="_blank">Zweig</a> pullover by Caitlin Hunter. She got her color inspiration from <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/people/fruityknitting" target="_blank">Andrea </a>of the Fruity Knitting video podcast. </div>

One of Kim's FOFIF projects that she wants to finish is her Rose Gold <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/rose-gold" target="_blank">shawl </a>by Andrea Mowry. She is using a skein of her handspun yarn and a set of gradient minis. She ran out of her handspun, so she spun a skein using some natural white fiber and she'll dye it and then carry on and finish this beautiful brioche shawl.</div>

I just got acrylic nails and I'm having a heck of a time typing with the dang things ... : ( Until I figure this out, I'm going to make the show notes today a little briefer.

Marcy has been a monogamous knitter and knit exclusively on her Just Like Honey <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/just-like-honey" target="_blank">shawl. </a>She'll be done soon! She also talks about how she overcame knitting brioche from a chart. She visually likes seeing colors on the chart to help her know if she is brioche decreasing right or left or brioche increasing. This made it to where she only had to glance at the chart on the row to see which form of increase or decrease she was doing. It made knitting the center brioche pattern much faster. Maybe this tip is something that might interest you when knitting from charts.<br />

(She really only knit on her Damejakka <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/damejakka-loppa---flea-a-ladys-cardigan" target="_blank">Loppa</a> cardigan a little bit this year...but it's color work, so it counts!) <span style="color: red;">YES</span></li>
<li>To explore brioche lace and cables. (She is currently knitting the Rose Gold brioche <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/rose-gold" target="_blank">shawl</a> by Andrea Mowry.) <span style="color: red;">YES</span></li>
<li>To study sheep breeds, spinning and yarn structure and usage. (Yes, she did that and bought and washed a fleece too! More of that to come in 2019!) <span style="color: red;">YES</span></li>

<span style="font-size: large;">Show & Tell</span></h3>
<div>
Kim finished her handspun Christmas <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/stillwater" target="_blank">cardigan</a>. The pattern is Stillwater by Marie Greene. She also finished two pairs of Christmas<a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/afterthought-everything-socks-2" target="_blank"> socks</a> that she cast on last year. She tried knitting 2 pairs of socks at a time using the Afterthought Everything sock pattern by Erica Kempf Broughton. She used Cascade Heritage sock yarn in color #26, Holiday and Greenwood Fiberworks Stardust yarn in the Jingle Bells color. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Much of Kim's knitting has been driven by her desire to cast on yarn that she has dyed (it's so fun to see it knit up!) She dyed self striping yarn and cast on her Destined2stripe <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/destined2stripe-socks" target="_blank">socks. </a>She also dyed some sock blanks and has cast on her Sock Blank <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/sock-blank-uno" target="_blank">Uno</a>. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Kim has been enjoying opening and using (some!) of her yarn advent calendar minis. She has a set from KnitStyle <a href="https://knitstyleyarns.com/" target="_blank">yarns</a> and has decided to use these minis to knit the Dust of Snow <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/dust-of-snow" target="_blank">shawl</a> by Helen Stewart. She also bought the advent set from Forbidden <a href="https://www.forbiddenfiberco.com/" target="_blank">Woolery</a> and has cast on the <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/advent-mkal" target="_blank">MKAL </a>that is included in the kit. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Rose Gold<a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/rose-gold" target="_blank"> Shawl </a>by Andrea Mowry has been put on hold while Kim spins more yarn. She is using her handspun yarn and a set of gradient minis from Blue Moon Fiber Arts to knit this beautiful brioche shawl. Finally, she has cast on a new sweater, the <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/ravello" target="_blank">Ravello</a> pullover by Isabell Kraemer. She is using KnitPicks Stroll tweed yarn for this sweater.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Marcy has finished her gorgeous Wool & Honey <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/wool--honey" target="_blank">pullover</a> by Andrea Mowry and she used Brooklyn Tweed Loft in the Tartan color. She also finished <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/the-weekender" target="_blank">The </a>Weekender by Andrea Mowry and she used Lani's Lana Fine Sport Rambouillet in the Natural white/black color to knit this comfortable and cute pullover. She is enjoying wearing both of these pretty sweaters.</div>

</div>
<div>
Kim has some new cast ons! She started the Rose Gold<a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/rose-gold" target="_blank"> shawl </a>by Andrea Mowry using her handspun yarn and a set of gradient minis from Blue Moon Fiber Arts (this is some Stiches West yarn from 2018.) She also cast on her handspun "Gingerbread Christmas'<a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/stillwater" target="_blank"> sweater. </a>The pattern is Stillwater by Marie Greene. She did have a huge howler because she didn't read the darn pattern and Kim ended up having to rip out over 16 rows : ( . But, she's back on track now and will be done by 12/1. Finally, Kim and a knitting friend dyed self stripping sock yarn. She immediately cast on some vanilla <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/destined2stripe-socks" target="_blank">socks </a>with the yarn because she was very excited to see how the yarn stripped. </div>
<div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Finished Objects</span></h3>
</div>
<div>
It has been a hot minute since we have podcasted and so we wanted to share our FO's with you. Kim has finished the crocheted <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/ctcc-afghan" target="_blank">afghan </a>that she made for her son and new daughter in law for their wedding gift. She is very happy to be finished with this large project and she was thrilled to be able to gift this to her favorite newlyweds!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
She also knit 8 baby <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/baby-hat-with-top-knot---tegan" target="_blank">hats </a>for her niece who is pregnant with twins. She gifted them already and forgot to take pictures of the last few, but here is the project page. Both of these were a labor of love and Kim was very happy to gift them to her family and now she's excited to get back to her regularly scheduled knitting!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Marcy has finished her beautiful <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/17-color-block-poncho" target="_blank">#17 Color Block Poncho</a> by Rosemary Drysdale. This sweater/poncho is super cute and Marcy has been getting a lot of wear out of it. She made some mods and they'll all be listed on her project page. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Marcy also finished her <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/ramble" target="_blank">Ramble Shawl</a> by Andrea Mowry. This fun brioche shawl is stunning and there are so many color combinations to play with. She is now hooked on brioche again!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When we had to choose, we both were very drawn to the<a href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/poet" target="_blank"> Poet </a>pullover from the latest Laine magazine, issue 6. </div>

Kim wore her <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/gilead" target="_blank">Gilead</a> by Leila Raabe and she was wearing her <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/zinone" target="_blank">Zinone</a> by Andi Satterlund during filming. These 2 linen tees are perfect 3 season tops for our hot climate.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Marcy is commuting to work at a very early hour and she has been enjoying wearing shawls to keep her warm. She wore her The<a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/the-shift" target="_blank"> Shift </a>by Andrea Mowry and her Color Block Bias<a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/color-block-bias-wrap" target="_blank"> Wrap</a> by Suzanne Shaw. She also wore her favorite hat, the Spring <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/sprig-cloche" target="_blank">Cloche</a> by Alana Dakos. Also, Marcy was wearing her beautiful Arizona <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/arizona-tee" target="_blank">Tee </a>when we recorded.</div>
<div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Show & Tell</span></h3>

Kim is working on gift knits and doesn't have any new cast ons or Fo's. She is continuing to crochet a granny square <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/ctcc-afghan" target="_blank">afghan </a>for her son and future daughter in law. Their wedding is in a few weeks and she will be gifting it to them then. Hopefully, this will be a much loved and cozy blanket for them to enjoy for many years. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
She is also continuing to knit baby <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/baby-hat-with-top-knot---tegan" target="_blank">hats </a>for her nieces' twins that are due in February. These have proven to be very addicting! The pattern is free on Ravelry and it's the Tegan Baby hat with Top Knot by Julie Taylor. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Marcy is continuing to work on her <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/17-color-block-poncho" target="_blank">#17 Color Block Poncho </a>by Rosemary Drysdale. She underestimated the amount of yarn that she would need for her contrasting colors, but luckily a lovely knitter on Ravelry came to her rescue and sold her another skein of the discontinued color way. <br />

She is making great progress on her <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/ramble" target="_blank">Ramble Shawl </a>by Andrea Mowry. This is an asymmetrical shawl that ends with gorgeous brioche herringbone. She is using a skein of KnitPicks stroll fingering in a charcoal color and a skein that Kim dyed for her as a birthday gift last year. She is ready to start the brioche segment, but 1st she needs a refresher course on how to do brioche!</div>

Marcy and her Mom went to <a href="https://vogueknittinglive.com/portal" target="_blank">Vogue Knitting Live</a> in San Francisco last weekend and they had a great time. They took a class from Julie Weisenberger called "The <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/people/cocoknits" target="_blank">Cocoknits </a>Method for Knitting a Seamless Set in Sleeve." In order to learn the elements of this ingenious method, they worked on a baby sweater. Marcy's <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/baby---practice-cardi" target="_blank">Baby/Practice Cardi </a>will be for Pippa and it's a great and fast way to learn the elements of the Cocoknit's method. </div>

We celebrated Marcy's birthday with some wine and Kim gifted her some cute wooden alpacas for her family to decorate. She also dyed some yarn for Marcy.

<li>For the 1st time Kim has purchased a yarn Advent Calendar from an indie dyer. These have become very popular and she thought that she'd try one. She bought it from Sharon of KnitSytle <a href="https://knitstyleyarns.com/" target="_blank">yarns</a> and the Knit Style video podcast. </li>
<li>Marcy and Kim are very in sync! Marcy wanted to let us know that the wonderful Forbidden <a href="https://www.forbiddenfiberco.com/collections/all-yarn/products/2018-advent-calendar-holidays-around-the-world" target="_blank">Fiber</a> Co. has an Advent Calendar available for pre order and it looks like a beautiful one. </li>
<li>Marcy and her Mom will be attending Vogue Knitting <a href="https://www.vogueknittinglive.com/sanfrancisco18" target="_blank">Live </a>in San Francisco on Marcy's birthday weekend, 9/25-9/26. </li>
<li>The Lamb Town<a href="https://www.lambtown.org/" target="_blank"> fiber</a> festival in Dixon, California is coming up and we are both hoping to attend. 10/6-10/7. </li>

<span style="font-size: large;">Show & Tell</span></h3>
</div>
<div>
Kim finally finished her Gilead<a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/gilead" target="_blank"> top</a> by Leila Raabe. She used the original and now discontinued Shibui Linen yarn and she's very happy with the FO... although she didn't enjoy the knit very much! She also finished the Jessie's Girl <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/jessies-girl" target="_blank">tee </a>by Elizabeth Smith. This was a fun and fast knit. She used Juniper Moon Farm Zooey DK yarn and she added in random stripes because she knew that she wouldn't have enough of her main color. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Kim has several new cast ons. She has started a crocheted corner to corner<a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/ctcc-afghan" target="_blank"> blanket </a>for her son and future daughter in law as a wedding gift. She's holding 2 strands of fingering weight yarn together and she's using magic knots to join new yarn, so at the end there will be little to no finishing and it should crochet up quickly! She has also started knitting baby hats because her niece is pregnant with twins. She is using the free pattern, Tegan Baby<a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/baby-hat-with-top-knot---tegan" target="_blank"> Hat</a> with top knot by Julie Taylor.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For 4-5 years Kim has been looking forward to knitting with her Habu tsumugi silk yarn. She finally cast on a top down raglan sleeve <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/marled-and-faded" target="_blank">tee</a> and she is marling and fading it. She is really hoping that she can get in one more warm weather top before Winter. She would like to finish her Arizona <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/arizona-tee" target="_blank">Tee</a> or cast on the <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/derecho-2" target="_blank">Derecho</a> top by Berroco. </div>

Marcy has finished her <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/arizona-tee" target="_blank">Arizona Tee </a>by Amy Gunderson using Shibui Reed yarn in the bone color and it is stunning! She's very happy with the FO and is enjoying wearing it with a black camisole underneath. She has also finished and was wearing her <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/camaro" target="_blank">Camaro top </a> by Tanis Lavallee. She used CotLin yarn by KnitPicks and really enjoyed knitting with it. This beautiful top has interesting and unusual construction methods and it's very flattering. </div>

Marcy also finished the super cute <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/failynn-fox-cowl" target="_blank">Failynn Fox cowl </a>by Heidi May. She used the yarn that the pattern called for- Wool Ease Thick & Quick Solids by Lion Brand. This is for a friend's 5 year old daughter. Marcy has cast on the <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/17-color-block-poncho" target="_blank">#17 Color Block Poncho </a>by Rosemary Drysdale. she is using Madtosh Vintage and the pattern is from the Vogue Knitting Holiday 2012 magazine.

Let's see how the guys do!<br />

Please feel free to use these questions with your spouse, significant other, parents, children, friends, etc... any Muggles(non knitters,) that have spent significant time with you and really could (should?) have absorbed some knitting/fiber arts knowledge & jargon along the way. If you do use the interview questions, please email us here or DM us on Ravelry or Instagram and let us know how it went! Have fun and let's make more knitters!!!<br />

Kim has finished her Leaves Shell<a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/leaves-shell" target="_blank"> top </a>by Kay Hopkins and she loves it! This pattern is interesting and well written and the Shibui Fern yarn (100% cotton,) is great to work with. She is continuing to knit her Gilead<a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/gilead" target="_blank"> top b</a>y Leila Raabe. This is slow going because she's not enjoying working with this discontinued Shibui linen yarn. Kim has set a goal of finishing this cute top by the next podcast as well as her shorty <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/frankensocks-2" target="_blank">socks</a>.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Kim has two new summer top cast ons. First, Jessie's<a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/jessies-girl" target="_blank"> Girl </a>by Elizabeth Smith and she's using 3 colors of Juniper Moon Farm Zooey DK, which is a cotton/linen blend. She really wanted and needed a simple tee for social knitting and this garter stitch top is perfect. She did have a howler though....when joining to knit in the round she ended up twisting her stitches and had to tink back and fix it. Kim also cast on the Arizona <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/arizona-tee" target="_blank">Tee </a>by Amy Gunderson. She is using Shibui Fern which is 100% linen and it's wonderful to knit with. So far, this CO is just a small mustache!</div>

Marcy has finished her gorgeous cowl/shawl, The<a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/the-shift" target="_blank"> Shift,</a> by Andrea Mowry. She used Spincycle Yarns and the FO is stunning! She's very happy with it and is looking forward to cooler weather so that she can wear it. Marcy is also knitting the Arizona <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/arizona-tee" target="_blank">Tee </a>and she's finished the back and is knitting the front of this beautiful all over lace top. Both Kim and Marcy are hoping that they don't end up playing yarn chicken since they've only got 2 skeins of yarn. </div>

<div>
Marcy has a new cast on, the Kallara <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/kallara" target="_blank">shawl</a> by Ambah O'Brien. She is using a skein of yarn that Kim dyed for her for her birthday last year as well as a skein of Pigeon Roof Studios sock yarn in the charcoal color. So far, her shawl looks like a goatee... : )</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">We are Uber Crafty</span></h3>

Marcy sewed the cutest tea towels for Kim's birthday! She used 4 knitted theme fabrics (linen, cotton, canvas fat quarters,) from Spoonflower: 1)Knitted <a href="https://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/4870978-knitted-rows-multicolor-heather-by-designed_by_debby" target="_blank">rows</a>, multicolor heather 2) Knitted <a href="https://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/3186814-peacock-knit-by-designed_by_debby" target="_blank">rows</a>, Peacock knit 3)We love <a href="https://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/6044531-we-love-yarn-yar-clothes-handmade-diy-fabric-winter-holidays-fabric-by-biancapozzi" target="_blank">yarn </a>4) Maritime <a href="https://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/6037241-maritime-yarn-by-graceful" target="_blank">Yarn</a>. She also knit a Tea4Me<a href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/tea4me" target="_blank"> mug</a> cover for a 16 oz. <a href="https://miyolife.com/miyo-insulated-stainless-steel-diy-tumbler/" target="_blank">MIYO</a> mug. This is a free pattern on Ravelry. She used the leftover yarn from her Shift cowl and she also added a in the same color work that is used in the Shift. It's so beautiful and it's the perfect gift for a knitter!</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Research Paper Part 2: My 1st Fleece</span></h3>
<div>
Kim bought two 1/2 fleeces 1.5 months ago and last week she finished washing one of them. It's a lot of work and she's not sure that she wants to wash her own fleece in the future. She also started processing the fiber for spinning using both hand carders and a blending board that she borrowed from her guild (The Sacramento Weaving & Spinning Guild.) She really enjoyed this part of the process and would like to do more. Kim is excited about Lambtown which is a fiber festival held in Dixon, California every Fall. This year it will be on Saturday & Sunday, October 6 & 7th and she is looking forward to buying lots of different fibers to play with on the blending board. </div>

Kim and Marcy thought it might be fun to take a look at the goals that they set for the year and see if they've made any progress. We will also share our current knitting projects and what we've been wearing. Grab your knitting, a beverage filled to the brim with ice and join us!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">On the PA System</span></h3>
</div>
<div>
Marcy set 5 knitting goals for 2018:</div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>To knit 5 projects from her Ravelry queue. (<span style="color: red;">100%!!!) </span><a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/gilead" target="_blank">Gilead</a>, Jessie's <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/jessies-girl" target="_blank">Girl</a>, <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/chaleur" target="_blank">Chaleur</a>, In Threes: a<a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/in-threes-a-baby-cardigan" target="_blank"> baby </a>cardigan, and<a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/pippa" target="_blank"> Pippa</a> the doll. </li>
<li>To knit another brioche project. (This goal hasn't been met, but she is planning on knitting at least 1 brioche project in the Fall. She mentions:<a href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/just-like-honey" target="_blank"> Just </a>Like Honey, Organic Angels<a href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/organic-angles" target="_blank"> hat </a>and Guetres <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/guetres-brioche" target="_blank">leg </a>warmers.)</li>
<li>To knit a pair of socks. (<span style="color: red;">100%!!</span>) She did knit a pair of <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/olympia" target="_blank">socks</a>, just not with her intended <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/people/xchorse/stash/bootheel" target="_blank">sock yarn</a>. But that doesn't matter, because she also knit a pair of <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/keep-them-on-their-toes" target="_blank">ballet socks</a>!</li>
<li>Make 20 projects this year: We've got 5 months left in the year and Marcy has already knit <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/challenge" target="_blank">18 projects</a>! So, this goal will easily be met.</li>
<li>Knit more projects from stash yarn instead of purchasing new yarn: She is doing well with this goal and has knit 8 projects from stash yarn. </li>
</ol>
<div>
Kim set knitting and general life goals for 2018:</div>
</div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>To make 2018 the year of 'Strong and Bendy' from <a href="https://whole30.com/about/" target="_blank">Melissa </a>Hartwig: although Kim has consistently been walking, swimming and doing yoga, she doesn't feel that she's made any real progress on this one.</li>
<li>She liked the idea of picking a theme for the year. She chose FOCUS. Well, after 1/7/18 she promptly forgot about that and hasn't focused on FOCUS at all. New goal for the remainder of the year will be to write FOCUS down on a piece of paper and put it on her bathroom mirror!</li>
<li>To participate in the '18 for 2018' project from Gretchen <a href="https://gretchenrubin.com/blog/" target="_blank">Rubin </a>of the Happier podcast. Kim doesn't even know where her 18 list is...so this is a huge fail!</li>
<li>To read 50 books: She has read 22 and is well on target to reach this goal. </li>
</ol>
<div>
Knitting Goals for Kim:</div>
</div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>To continue to write up and then publish the designs that she started in 2017: <span style="color: red;">YES! </span>She has made great progress with this goal and feels confident that she will have finished and published at least 2 designs by the end of the year. </li>
<li>Continue to explore Fair Isle and color work knitting: No progress here since December; however, Autumn is coming and there will be color work sweaters to knit then!</li>
<li>To explore brioche, especially lace and cables: See answer above. Kim mentions the Queen of brioche, <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/people/briocher" target="_blank">Nancy </a>Marchant. </li>
<li>Finally, to study sheep breeds, spinning and yarn structure and usage: She feels that she is accomplishing this goal by spinning more regularly and buying a fleece and washing and prepping it herself. In addition, she is continuing to read books and watch Craftsy classes on the subject. </li>
</ol>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: large;">After the Finish Line</span></h3>
</div>
<div>
Marcy wore her Jessie's <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/jessies-girl" target="_blank">Girl (</a>hear more about this in ep. 51,) her Wavelets <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/wavelets" target="_blank">Tee </a>(ep. 48,) her Cullum <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/cullum" target="_blank">Tee </a>((ep. 33,) and her Wind Wave <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/wind-wave" target="_blank">Tee (</a>(ep. 11.)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Kim also wore her Cullum <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/cullum" target="_blank">Tee,</a> her Zinone <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/zinone" target="_blank">top </a>and she finally mended her Little Bird<a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/little-bird" target="_blank"> top</a>.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: large;">Show & Tell</span></h3>
<div>
Marcy finished the cute baby shrug, <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/entrechat" target="_blank">Entrechat,</a> by Lisa Chemery for her daughter Pippa and it looks adorable on her. She has started the beautiful cowl, The<a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/the-shift" target="_blank"> Shift,</a> by Andrea Mowry. This is a cowl/shawl that uses color work in order to produce shifting colors with the gorgeous yarn from Spincycle Yarns. Marcy is continuing to work on the stunning all over lace top, Arizona <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/arizona-tee" target="_blank">Tee,</a> by Amy Gunderson.

Kim split a 100% Corriedale fleece with a friend and she also purchased 1/2 of a 1/2 Corriedale and 1/2 Rambouillet fleece. This was all very unexpected, but also fun and exciting!

<span style="font-size: large;">Show & Tell</span></h3>
<div>
Marcy has made wonderful progress on her faded <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/confetti" target="_blank">Confetti</a> by Veera Valimaki. She has one more sleeve to knit and then she'll be done. She is very happy with this beautiful pullover sweater and loves the 3 yarns that she chose to fade. She has had a few mini howlers with yarn quantity, but it's all working out nicely. She has also cast on a seamless shrug for little Pippa. The <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/entrechat" target="_blank">Entrechat b</a>y Lisa Chemery and she is using Trendsetter Yarns Autumn Wind Confetti, which is a worsted weight, 90% cotton, 10% cashmere yarn. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Marcy updated us on her finished <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/gilead" target="_blank">Gilead</a> pullover. She has worn it and finds the sleeves uncomfortable while working at her desk so she may end up ripping them back and knitting short sleeves after all. The beauty of knitting is that we can customize our clothing!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Kim is also working on her <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/gilead" target="_blank">Gilead b</a>y Leila Raabe that she cast on in August of 2017. She is using the discontinued Shibui Linen yarn and it is a little rough to work with. The pullover top is knit in pieces and she has finished the back and is working on the front. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Kim also has the Leaves & Shell <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/leaves-shell" target="_blank">top b</a>y Kay Hopkins on her needles. She is using another Shibui yarn, Fern, which is 100% cotton and is soft and delightful to work with. </div>

Marcy designed some fabric based on her colored motifs from the Peace Shawl <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/project-peace-2017" target="_blank">KAL </a>that she participated in last December. She uploaded the design to <a href="https://www.spoonflower.com/welcome" target="_blank">Spoonflower.</a> She is not sure what she will make with the fabric yet, but probably some cute project bags. </div>

Kim is not officially participating in Tour De Fleece (I don't really have anything to link here, if you're interested in the event you can follow the hashtag #tdf or #tourdefleece on Instagram or search for it on Ravelry. There is no single page to link,) however, she has been motivated by all of the posts on Instagram and she has been spinning almost daily. She finished one of her two sweaterspins that she started last August. This one has 4 skeins and is about 600 yards of a chain plied 3 ply. She is thinking about knitting a shawl instead and has been swatching.<br />

Kim wore her heavily modded crochet cardigan. She doesn't have a project page for it...yet! Hopefully soon. When it's made I'll come back in and link it. </div>

Marcy wore her<a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/sandshore-2" target="_blank"> Sand</a> Shore Cardigan by Alicia Plummer (ep.48.) Her new FO, Jessie's <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/jessies-girl" target="_blank">Girl</a> by Elizabeth Smith, is already a favorite summer tee. <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/mix-no-19" target="_blank">Mix</a> No. 19 by Linda Tsymbal was finished back in August of 2015 and it's also one of Marcy's favorite summer tops. </div>

Kim finished her 'Zinone' <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/zinone" target="_blank">top </a>by Andi Satterlund and she's really happy with the FO. She used KnitPicks Lindy Chain and enjoyed knitting with this linen/cotton blend yarn and it blocked beautifully. Kim is continuing to work on her 'Afterthought Everything' <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/afterthought-everything-socks" target="_blank">sock</a>s and hopes to have them finished next time. She has just CO the 'Leaves Shell' <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/leaves-shell" target="_blank">top </a>by Kay Hopkins. Shibui's new 100% cotton yarn, Fern, is working up beautifully and is a delight to knit.<br />

Kim has been spinning and has finished the 2nd skein for one of her sweater spins. This is some fiber that she dyed last Summer and she is making a 3 ply yarn by chain plying it. There is no project page ... yet! Hopefully soon!<br />
<br />
Kim has been having so much fun weaving and using up yarn from the 90's and 00's. Wool, silk and novelty yarn and it feels great to use it and create pretty scarves. So far, she has finished 4 using her 10" Cricket Rigid Heddle loom and she has borrowed a 16" Cricket and is weaving a shawl on that loom. No project pages for these...yet...(there seems to be a theme here!)<br />

<div>
Our sock kal will run from 6/9/18-7/9/18. On 8/1/18 we will start our 'Reading and Knitting Bingo' kal. This will be so much fun and Kim is hoping that you'll read and knit along with her this summer because that's such a great time to read! There'll be more details about that in our next episode. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We are planning some more research papers. We would like to go in depth on these topics: decreasing, increasing, blocking and steeking. These will all be fun subjects to learn more about in the next 6 months. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We will be taking a short hiatus while Kim and her DH are in Europe, but we'll be back in mid June with lots of knitting, spinning, sewing and weaving content! We'll share our experiences from the WWKIP day and much more. </div>
<div>

<div>
Thank you, as always, for joining us! We appreciate each and everyone of you. Happy Knitting!<br />

Thanks for joining us for our 49th podcast. Marcy and Kim are in the classroom today (we actually recorded in Kim's husband's car!) and they will share all of their wip's, fo's, and uber craftiness. Grab your knitting, a soothing beverage, get really comfortable and settle in to listen to this installment of the Destined2knit podcast!<br />
<br />
On a sadder note, Marcy's father was recently killed in a motorcycle accident. Our thoughts and prayers are with Marcy and her entire family during this challenging time. xx<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">We are Uber Crafty</span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;">Kim hasn't been knitting very much because she's been spending most of her making time weaving! She wants to use up the novelty yarn that she has from the 90's and 00's and weaving is a great way to use it up. She has finished 2 scarves and has another on the loom. This endeavor hasn't been HOWLER free though...when warping the loom for her 2nd scarf she messed it up THREE times in 3 different ways! Things are back on track and she's been using her Craftsy Unlimited membership to watch Deborah Jarchow's Rigid Heddle weaving<a href="https://www.craftsy.com/weaving/classes/startup-library-rigid-heddle-weaving/482879" target="_blank"> class </a>and that's been very helpful. </span></div>

Marcy was finally able to wear her<a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/p-rex" target="_blank"> P-Rex</a> by Susanne Sommer and it looked amazing! She blocked it and is happier with the length and fit of the sleeves. You can hear more about this FO in episode 38. She also wore her ...a hint of summer <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/a-hint-of-summer" target="_blank">top</a> by Isabel Kraemer and it was a huge hit with our knitting group. You can hear more about this project in ep. 32. The beautiful Light <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/light-gale" target="_blank">Gal</a>e was a perfect outer wear piece for Marcy to wear to Tahoe. Ep. 25 has all of the details about this lovely cape. It was way back in ep. 4 that Marcy talked about her <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/true" target="_blank">True </a>sweater by Joji and she enjoyed wearing it last week when it was chilly here. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Kim wore her Little <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/little-bird" target="_blank">Bird </a>sweater so much that she had to wash and re block it. Sadly, the neck line unraveled a bit and needs mending. She has been wearing her <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/zweig" target="_blank">Zweig</a> color work pullover a lot and she's seriously thinking about knitting a 2nd next Fall. Her poor Cullum <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/cullum" target="_blank">Tee</a> got taken out to dinner but was drenched by a glass of white wine! Thankfully, linen is hardy and will wash easily. Her new Fo, the Waiting for Rain <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/waiting-for-rain" target="_blank">shawl</a> has been Kim's go to shawl for chilly days and evenings and she loves it and is planning on taking it to Europe this summer. </div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Show & Tell</span></h3>
<div>
Kim has finally finished her Hermione's Everyday<a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/hermiones-everyday-socks-2" target="_blank"> socks </a>that she co last March. The Malabrigo sock yarn was a dream to knit with and the pattern is always fun and easy. However, she made these socks a bit too short and so they will be a wonderful Mother's Day gift for her very knitworthy Mom. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Kim is still working on the gorgeous Tegna <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/tegna" target="_blank">top</a> by Caitlin Hunter. She is using 3 skeins of her hand dyed yarn and the base is merino and silk from KnitPicks. She also has a new co, a pair of <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/thanks-alice" target="_blank">socks</a> using a skein of Zauberball in an unknown color way. She is putting in contrasting cuffs, heels and toes and is knitting these 2 at a time, top down and with magic loop on a US 1. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
***Kim mentioned that she wants to get another shawl on her needles and is thinking of casting on one of Hunter Hammersen's gorgeous shawls from the book<a href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/sources/curls-versatile-wearable-wraps-to-knit-at-any-gauge" target="_blank"> <u>Curls</u></a>.</div>

Marcy has been knitting up a storm and has 2 Fo's! She finished her lovely <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/chaleur" target="_blank">Chaleur</a> pullover by Julie Hoover. She used 2 types of Habu held together and it's beautiful. Make sure to check out her project page and read all about it. She also finished her Olympia<a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/olympia" target="_blank"> socks </a>which she co during the Olympics. She used a special kit from Jimmy Beans Wool and the socks are so cute and patriotic. </div>

Marcy is almost done with her 2nd (can you believe that she's knitting something again?) Sand shore <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/sandshore-2" target="_blank">cardigan </a>by Alicia Plummer. She cast this sweater on almost a year to the day after she co her 1st one, which she ended up giving to her Mom for Mother's Day. She is once again using Fibra Natura Good Earth solids in the Jade color way. This is a fast and fun cardi to knit for Spring through Fall. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In addition, Marcy has another new co! The Wavelets<a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/wavelets" target="_blank"> tee </a>by Yumiko Alexander and she is using DanDoh yarn Cotton Fine in 2 colors and she is holding them together. So far, the project is a little tedious, but the fabric is looking gorgeous and she's excited to get it finished and wear it. </div>

<li>When/if you decide to commit to a wheel, try to spend some time with a few and see how you feel with them.

<li>Marcy went down a fun rabbit hole researching yarn bombing. She saw some amazing fiber graffiti in Santa Rosa, California and learned that there are a few Bay Area cities that host a <a href="http://www.independentnews.com/tree-sweater-forest-in-livermore/collection_b1cdcfb2-862b-11e6-a737-b37187593bf5.html" target="_blank">Tree </a>Sweater Forest yarn bombing event. Andie Rosendin is an artist that is heavily involved in this colorful art form. </li>

They utilize the lifeguard stands and this year there was an amazing large pussy hat exhibit by artists Martin Miller and Mo Zheng. </li>
<li>Kim was having issues with her messages on Ravelry. She would check a message and then click off to get some information, etc... and when she tried to find the message it was gone... : ( After a month or so of this frustration, she discovered that she'd inadvertently turned on the 'delete messages after reading' feature.

Marcy was finally able to wear her<a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/p-rex" target="_blank"> P-Rex</a> by Susanne Sommer. However, there is a small howler; the i-cord bind off on the sleeve is a little bit tight and she's planning on taking it out and adding a few extra stitches and re doing it.

In episode 19 you can hear all about the beautiful Om <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/om-shawl" target="_blank">Shawl</a> by Andrea Mowry. At the end of knitting this shawl Marcy was very excited to finish and she forgot to add in the 3 buttonholes that are in the pattern. She has ripped those rows out and added the buttonholes in and now she's able to style this lovely shawl. </div>

The <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/gabrielle" target="_blank">Gabrielle</a> pullover by Leila Raabe was one of the many knitted items that Marcy finished while she was recuperating from knee surgery.

She is planning on ripping them out and re- knitting them with a few more stitches. </div>

Even though it was a slog-along to knit, Kim's <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/p-rex" target="_blank">P-Rex</a> is always a regular in her weekly wardrobe rotation. She wears her knitted socks everyday and she washed, re-blocked and wore her <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/veronika" target="_blank">Veronika </a>by Cocoknits. </div>

Kim has two FO's and is very excited about that! She has finished her Little<a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/little-bird" target="_blank"> Bird</a> top by Veera Valimaki. This lace weight sweater is tunic length and has lace panels and it's a perfect weight for their climate. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
She has also cast off her Waiting for Rain <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/waiting-for-rain" target="_blank">shawl</a> by Sylvia McFadden that she cast on in 2016. She went off pattern for this beautiful shawl and she's hoping that she'll be happy with the blocked FO. She may have to pick up and add on a lace border or an applied I-cord. </div>
<div>

<div>
Kim is continuing to work on her Lissycasy <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/lissycasey-sweater" target="_blank">Cables</a> pullover sweater by Kate Heppell. She really wants to finish this before the weather gets too hot! She has also worked on her Hermione's Everyday <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/hermiones-everyday-socks-2" target="_blank">sock</a>s and they should be done by ep. 48. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Kim's philosophy regarding casting on new items is that when she has that cast on-itis energy to go with it! So, since she finished a sweater and felt like casting on, she CO the gorgeous short sleeve <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/tegna" target="_blank">Tegna </a>pullover top by Caitlin Hunter. She is using her hand dyed yarn which she dyed a golden yellow color and she's really enjoying the lace motif along the edge of this bottom up top.</div>

Marcy is continuing to work on her <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/chaleur" target="_blank">Chaleur </a>sweater by Julie Hoover. She is using 2 gorgeous Habu yarns, and is enjoying them. Sadly, she had a major HOWLER and had to spend many hours tinking back and re knitting. She is back on track now and is looking forward to finishing and wearing this lovely garment. Guess who designed the Secret Garden<a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/secret-garden" target="_blank"> shawl </a>that Marcy is working on? You got it, Alana Dakos! She is moving along nicely and really enjoying the botanical elements that Alana is famous for. Marcy has finished 1 sock from her Olympia <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/olympia" target="_blank">Sock</a> Kit by Lara Smoot. She purchased this from Jimmy Bean's Wool and knit on the sock while watching the 2018 Winter Olympics.<br />
<br />
She also finished her gift knitting for her friend Gayle, she made a series of St. Patrick Day gifts for them. She made two St. Patty's Day <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/leprechaun-hat-beer-cozy" target="_blank">beer cozies</a>, one <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/leprechaun-lad-lass-beanie" target="_blank">6 month hat</a> with a beard, and one <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/leprechaun-lad-lass-beanie-2" target="_blank">toddler hat</a> with hair.<br />

Kim ia continuing to work on her lace weight Little<a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/little-bird" target="_blank"> Bird </a>pullover sweater by Veera Valimaki and it seems to be going slowly (maybe because it's lace weight?!?) A wonderful balance to that sweater is her Lissycasey cabled <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/lissycasey-sweater" target="_blank">sweater</a> by Kate Heppell. She had a HOWLER and had to fix a cable that was turned incorrectly. She is looking forward to finishing both of these and casting on something new. </div>

Since Marcy didn't have any lead time before Stitches, she didn't have a shopping list. She decided to focus on patterns and only purchased two sweater set ups: 1) From Forbidden Fiber Co. she bought <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/yarns/library/forbidden-woolery-proverbs" target="_blank">Proverbs</a> yarn, which is a linen/cotton blend. She is planning on knitting the Driftwood <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/driftwood-tee" target="_blank">Tee </a>by Mercedes Tarasovich. 2) She fell in love with the Dan Doh booth and bought <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/yarns/library/dandoh-cotton-fine" target="_blank">DanDoh</a> Yarn Cotton Fine and the <a href="https://www.dandoh.com/modern-deco" target="_blank">book</a> <u>Modern Deco </u>by Yumiko Alexander. Marcy is going to knit the Wavelets Sleeveless <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/wavelets-3" target="_blank">Tee.</a> Marcy spent the rest of her time looking at, trying on and photographing designs that she'd like to knit. She made a <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/bundles/2018-stitches-west" target="_blank">bundle</a> of all of these on her Ravelry page.<br />
<br />
Kim was able to make it to SW for a day and a half. She always enjoys
seeing knitting friends there and this year was no different! Knitters
are the best! Kim did come home with some beautiful yarn and fiber and
will share it all when she knits and spins with it. She really enjoyed
trying on the samples in <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/sources/blue-bee-studio" target="_blank">Elizabeth </a>Doherty's booth, Blue Bee Studios. She would like to knit the <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/archer-4" target="_blank">Archer</a>, <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/meris" target="_blank">Meris,</a> <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/floriston" target="_blank">Floriston</a>, and <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/point-reyes-3" target="_blank">Point </a>Reyes sweaters.

<div>
Marcy's baby, Pippa, wore her big brother's Cocteau <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/cocteau" target="_blank">sweater</a> by Justine Turner. </div>

Kim has continued to wear all of her Caitlin Hunter knits: The<a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/ninilchik-swoncho" target="_blank"> Ninilchik</a>, <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/sunset-highway" target="_blank">Sunset</a> Highway and <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/zweig" target="_blank">Zweig</a> sweaters. She wears hand knit socks everyday. Her hubby was sick with the flu a few weeks ago and wore his Bankhead <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/tims-bankhead" target="_blank">hat</a>, which is a free pattern by Susie Gourlay. Kim has been wearing her <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/p-rex" target="_blank">P-Rex</a> cape and using her handspun granny stripe crochet <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/handspun-granny-blanket" target="_blank">blanket</a> . She hand washed 14 pairs of her hand knit socks and there are 2 that need new heels because they've worn through. Hopefully that'll be done by ep. 46 and she'll share how that went.</div>
<div>
<br />
***Kim mentioned in the last episode that she won a prize from participating in a KAL with the Bakery Bears <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/groups/the-bakery-bears" target="_blank">Podcast</a>. Below are pictures of the adorable sock project bag from Sew Cosy Knits, (sadly, I can't find her shop; Ill keep searching and post it in our next show notes.) It's such a perfect bag for Kim because it's got 2 compartments for yarn and yarn guides so that you can easily knit 2 at a time socks!<br />

Kim finished her <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/p-rex" target="_blank">P-Rex</a> by Susanne Sommer and she is very happy with the fo. She has two new sweater cast ons: The Lissycasy <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/lissycasey-sweater" target="_blank">Cables</a> pullover by Kate and Heppell and the Little <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/little-bird" target="_blank">Bird </a>by Veera Valimaki. Kim was so happy to be able to use stash yarn for both projects. In addition, she pulled out her Hermione's Everyday<a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/destined2knit/hermiones-everyday-socks-2" target="_blank"> Socks</a> (free pattern on Ravelry,) by Erica Lueder. This is a cast on from March 2017, so it'll be great to get them finished and off the needles. </div>

Marcy has finished the <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/zip" target="_blank">Zip </a>sweater by Cocoknits for baby Pippa. She made many mods and you can read about all of them on her project page. She has a new cast on, the Chaleur<a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/xchorse/chaleur" target="_blank"> sweater </a>by Julie Hoover and she is using some gorgeous Habu yarn. There've been some Howler-ish moments with this project involving a provisional cast on, but Marcy thinks that it's all back on track now. </div>
