Episode 31: The Epic Return
Litterbox
We are still here.
Terri: I got sick, Libby’s computer broke…like what is it with computers this year? I’ve been going through it due to a family issue.
Libby: Yep my computer broke almost immediately after we got through my busy time and had some time to record lol. Finally got a new one and got it all setup and then we entered my 2nd busiest time. Hopefully I will have some time now that it’s calmed down a bit
PAWS
Terri:
Aimee Cardigan- Joji Locatelli (ravelry)All of my partial skeins of Malabrigo Arroyo…well most of them will be popped into this. I hit gauge exactly on my swatch. Doing as a tiny KAL with some people in a group for flannelandpurls. I am about 7 inches into the body
DRK Everyday cardigan- using Fiber company Lore in the colorway Healer. I’m about 3 inches into the body
My Favorite Vanilla Socks-MCN dyed by a friend of mine over a decade ago in a colorway called Prep School-carmel brown to a darker reddish brown, reds, blues, greens. Prep school is pretty accurate.
Libby:
Colorblock Bag - stashed
Wizard Hat by Morale Fiber - stashed for now
Crochet bucket hat - haven’t started yet
Golden rod wrap top - Knitpicks Galileo in Meteor, Back panel is done - I did not finish before Infrasound because I’ve been running into issues on the front. I’ve done it like 3-4 times and I can’t tell if it’s my counting or the pattern sizing - I did see some comments on this somewhere, so I may just start the other side of the front panel and do them together row by row just making sure I do the same thing on both sides.
Annie Bucket Hat - I got some yarn for free - 3 skeins of Lions Brand “go for Faux” in the color Mink (pastel pink and charcoal). So I’m going to make this hat - I forgot to bring it this weekend to work on but I started a swatch for it and will be making it

From Fluff to Stuff-

I acquired fleeces when we went to Shepherd’s Harvest over Mother’s Day weekend
Ooh Shiny!
Terri- Harlow Flip (ravelry). EIther looking at some handspun to knit this or a combo of handspun and my Spincycle that I picked up in Chicago last year.
Looking for a delicious sport weight/DK linen cotton or linen wool yarn. So, if anyone has some suggestions. Let me know. I’ve barely used any. I think I have one sweater in Lindy Chain from Knit Picks. It was ok. A bit splitty but I just switched to blunt tip wood needles and that seemed to work fine.
Libby: These dino nuggets by Okey dokey crochet - I MUST make some of these with all the extra/leftover blanket yarns I have. Brought the materials to make one this weekend.

Catnip-
Terri-We went to Shepherd’s harvest over Mother’s Day Weekend. It was really fun. Smaller scale than Wisconsin Sheep and Wool, but really nice. I could have bought so many things. My husband did almost get into an argument when a lady cheated on bidding at the fleece auction. I did get three fleeces though so it’s fine. I also picked up some Ewetopia. I just love everything they do. I also bought my mom a LOVELY handwoven table runner and some wool pellets for her garden and pots.
Libby: Infrasound!!!! I’ll talk about this
The Fluff-
Terri-Everyone is great, but I can’t get Nandor to poop in a box. I’ve tried one method. Looking into some other things to try. So, I just clean up after him constantly. I love him to bits so whatever. lol
Libby- Penny’s been having some issues with her hips and we may have to go back to the vet. She’s always had hip dysplasia but she’s turning 5 this year and I think it’s bothering her a bit more. We brought her with us this time.
