    Show notes

    Apologies in advance for any sound issues in this episode of the podcast - we're on either side of the pond at the moment, and do not have access to the best recording setup while that is the case.

    Allison is working on Wavedeck by Kate Atherley in SweetGeorgia Superwash Worsted in Riptide. And is almost done with the Toddler Hoodie.

    Halfway:

    As it's July, we thought it would be worthwhile to take a step back and look at how the year has gone so far - the successful and not-so-successful undertakings that we've been up to. We talk about some revised goals, emerging trends in our own crafting lives and #3thingsforyarnlove.

    So....it's been a while since we've gabbed at you, hasn't it?

So for this episode we thought it might be best to have a catch up.

    3) Another shout out to our friend Carmen from A Yarn Story in Bath. This week in the UK people are voting on whether or not the UK should stay in the EU. Carmen wrote a blog post about how a Brexit could potentially affect her business. Take a look.

    Show notes

    With the Easter holidays and our kids still off school we've got another international Skype session of the podcast for Episode 34. We hope you'll bear with and that the sound isn't quite up to our usual standard.

    Big shout out to our US iTunes review from bjoy -thank you so much!

    Another shout out to Wild Thistle Farm in Pattston, ME, who accosted Rachel on the train from Boston to Brunswick to ask her (knitting with commercial yarn) if she was a spinner. They have Shetlands people - off you go!We also have a winner of the copy of Wool Tribe generously provided by Edinburgh Yarn Festival in Episode 33 - Rachelke! Please get in touch with us and let us know how to get that to you, and congratulations!

    What We're Working On:

    Allison is going great guns on her baby sweater, and has finished the sleeves. She's also been cranking out a new crocheted shawl from Joanne Scrace's new book The Shawl Project Book 1.

    Rachel has finished her Freshwater Shawl by Andrea Mowbry and Annie Rowden, in fantastic Triskelion Yarns Elen, and is spinning up some of her March Lab Goddess Fibre Club Wensleydale. She's also just discovered that her recent Yarn Chicken winning streak will come to a stunning halt if she continues with her current shawl design project, so there's some frogging in her immediate future.

    Book Review: Coffee with C. C.

    In this episode we review C. C. Almon's new book, Coffee with C. C.: A 7 pattern caffeine inspired knitting collection.

    Disclaimer: Rachel was the tech editor for this project, so take her comments with however many grains of salt you need.

    The collection includes six sock patterns, ranging from plain vanilla (French Vanilla Cappuccino socks) to more elaborate (I Love You More Than Pumpkin Spice socks), and also includes a shawl pattern. The patterns include lots of textured stitches and interest, but straightforward constructions so they are perfect for new or less experienced sock knitters looking to expand their skills!

    The hard copy of the book can be purchased from the JavaPurl Designs website for $18 plus shipping, and the eBook is available through Ravelry for $16 plus shipping.

    Shout outs:

    iTunes reviewers and some lovely Ravelry messages about the podcast and the book - thank you!

    Also huge shout out to podcast interviewee Clara Parkes, whose new book Knitlandia landed on the New York Times bestseller list!

    And we have a winner for the skein of Tamar Lustre blend from Blacker Yarns!

    News and Events:

    16th April - A Yarn in the City talk and book signing at Knit With Attitude in London. We'll be talking about how we got started with the Great London Yarn Crawl and how the rest of our events, and now our book! grew from there.

    23 - 24th April – Wonderwool Wales, Builth Wells Fairgrounds. We're going for the day with the London Guild of Spinners, Weavers and Dyers, and the coach is now full!

    What we're working on:

    Rachel has finished her Honey cowl and that's all.

    Allison finished her Heggelia mitts and has started a sweater for a new baby and is faffing about trying to find something else in SweetGeorgia Yarns to knit.

    Free Your Skeins!

    We have a lovely chat with Jo Milmine of the award-winning Shinybees podcast and the Golden Skein yarn club, about how she started her podcast, building community, bringing people together and why you should use your precious, special skeins.

    New Giveaway - Wool Tribe!

    We have a cheeky last-minute giveaway as well - a copy of the hotly sought after Wool Tribe, the official program to Edinburgh Yarn Festival 2016. To enter, leave a comment on these show notes by end of day Easter Monday (March 28th, 2016) and tell us your favourite memory of EYF either this year or last year, or one that you say while watching the festival from afar on social media. We'll announce the winner on episode 34 of the podcast.
