Knitting Pipeline

You are invited to a meet up on Thursday, December 27, 2018 in Cary NC (Raleigh). Greg and Pam of the Unraveling Podcast and I will be at Warm N Fuzzy, a wonderful yarn shop in Cary from 10:30 AM to noon followed by lunch in the area. You are welcome to join us for all or part of that time.

I share a portion of my talk delivered last week at the Madison Knitters’ Guild. Welcome to new listeners and Instagram followers from Madison! 

I finished Cabled Baby Hat and Mittens Set by Paulina Chin in Quince & Co Phoebe Mercury colorway. There are some books I have recently finished reading and a bit of Nature Notes.

Have a wonderful holiday and New Year! Thank you for listening and supporting the show in 2018.

I share highlights from the Knitting Pipeline Eagle Crest Retreat and nature notes from the retreat and home. We made Advent DIY Advent Calendars and swapped so we don’t know who is getting ours or whose we have received. We made an extra calendar which is in a drawing in the Knitting Pipeline Ravelry Group. Finished knitting projects are another Close to You by Justyna Lorkowska in Dyabolical Lovely Sock and dishcloths that I’m testing out for my Wednesday night group. Crazy Eights Dishcloth by Julie Tarsha and Leafy Washcloth by Megan Goodacre in both Stockinette and Garter versions.
