Owls, OhSoHat, Hazel Carter Story This show by sponsored by Quince & Co, Peddler’s Way Quilt Co, and The Blend Cafe. I enjoy your feedback, comments on the blog, and questions. Feel free to write to me at Paulaef@aol.com or on Ravelry as PrairiePiper. Complete show notes at www.knittingpipeline.com. We did buy that first house we looked at because I fell in love with the front door. I could not have goats there. I made a mistake when I told you last week about the way I do the selvedges instead of slipping the first stitch. See directions in the sidebar on this site. I read a note from SpringPeeper about her fondness for goats. Asta wrote about gjetost. It is eaten in very thin slices and not combined with meat or much else other than perhaps a dab of lingonberry jam. Saturday morning I went on a Snowy Owl Expedition by myself. A snowy owl had been seen at Illinois Central College. I took a walk later that day about sunset and I was looking up into the sky in a moment of complete reverie when I saw a white bird flapping its wings WAY UP HIGH. I am 90% certain it was a Snowy Owl but can’t be sure. Alone and warming his five wits, the white owl in the belfry sits. Spectra by Stephen West Began Gyllis by Stephen West but I frogged it. The way the pattern was written was too frustrating. OhSo Hat by Lee Bernstein Well-written pattern and wonderful for beginners. Photos show female models but really is unisex and my husband likes it. Piper’s Journey KAL Wave 2 starts March 5. We started a new thread on March 1st because the other thread is getting quite long and that can be discouraging if you are just getting into it. Seasoned PJ knitters can jump in to help. In The Pipeline Knitting New shawl design called Hyla Brook Watching Downtown Abbey is not a soap Opera. Soap operas do not make a lasting impression, they do not have costumes like this or film in castles, and they do not have Maggie Smith and Hugh Bonneville. You might say that soaps have come a long way since I last saw one in 1968 but they have not evolved THAT much. Reading Finished Birds of a Feather #2 in Maisie Dobbs series by Jacqueline Winspear. Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand by Helen Simonsen Random House 2010 Love, love, love this book! Helen Simonsen’s first novel and may she write many more. The writing reminds me so much of Alexander McCall Smith. Listening Since finishing The Paris Wife by Paula McClain I am catching up on podcasts. Thank you to Louise of Caithness Craft Collective Podcast for her shout out for Piper’s Journey. David Tolk. In Reverence. Title song of CD which I have purchased on iTunes. Beautiful.

Slipped stitches, goats, Piper's Journey KAL This episode is sponsored by Quince & Co, The Blend Cafe, and Knit4Together. complete show notes are at www.knittingpipeline.com The folks at Quince & Co believe that businesses can be good citizens—should be good citizens—without making too much a fuss about it. So, they have created a line of thoughtfully conceived yarns spun from American wool or sourced from overseas suppliers who grow plants, raise animals, or manufacture a yarn in as earth- and labor-friendly a way as possible. Find them at www.quinceandco.com and while you are there, sign up for their free e-newsletter.

Please contact me with your mailing information. Nature Notes February is a month of light. In the Northern Hemisphere our mornings and evening are filled with more hours of daylight. We are moving away from the short dark days of the Winter Solstice... Today I saw the red-wing blackbirds lined up along the fences that line the farm fields. I was looking for snowy owls. I saw red-wings. And that is good too, especially the first red wings of the season. Thanks to Alisonc I just read the most fascinating book. Goat Song: A Seasonal Life. A short history of Herding and the art of making cheese by Brad Kessler. Highly recommended! Needle Notes Piper’s Journey KAL. Wave 2 starts on March 5, 2012. Note that the shawl will grow considerably since you are knitting at a looser gauge than recommended for a tighter fabric. Slipping Stitches make a cleaner edge but there are times when this is not advised. Slipping the first stitch of a row will tighten the edge, which is sometimes not what you want to do. If a pattern says to slip a stitch and the pattern does not specify then you should slip as if to purl. In general
I blether about a house we looked at when we first moved to this area, Norwegian Gjetost, and a few more tips on things to take to a retreat. A notebook is a good idea. About those Autumn Glory Apples…our local market will probably be sold out by the time of our retreat. I didn’t want to be greedy and buy up the whole bin. In the Pipeline Knitting: Spectra by Stephen West. 2 Knit Lit Chicks KAL 60 wedges done and 25 to go! I need to figure out my retreat knitting. Watching: Downtown Abbey is over. It is sad. Thankfully there is another season to look forward to. And to those of you who do not have television, I applaud you! Listening: Finished The Paris Wife by Paula MacClain.

A correction from last week’s show: (Thank you spinsjal!) Joshua Tucker is a massage therapist, NOT a physical therapist. Read Wendy’s note on our board with another side to the issue. Nature Notes: Last Friday we awoke to dense fog which was not an auspicious beginning to our Snowy Owl Expedition. We made it to the Emiquon Wetland Preserve and saw quite a few American Bald Eagles. We also saw Snow Geese! There were thousands of them flying in ribbons as far as we could see down the waterway. Funky and Aizome did see Snowy Owls in Minnesota! I have not given up yet and there is always next year. Featured Nature writer: John Madson Where the Sky Began: Land of the Tallgrass Prairie. 1982 To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee, One clover, and a bee, And revery. The revery alone will do If bees are few. --Emily Dickinson Needle Notes: Yarn recommendations for socks (that will wear well). Traci (4 girls) Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Sock, Woolen Rabbit Harmony, Opal. Prairiepoet: Blue Moon Fiber Lightweight Socks that Rock.

Even Charlene Schurch was impressed! Ten Stitch Twist by Frankie Brown took a little over a month to knit using stash yarn. Spirals are soothing and relaxing even when there are short rows involved.
