Ep 96: School Days Learn Along!

Ep 96: School Days Learn Along!

Marsha is knitting, Kelly is swatching crochet techniques, and the Ewes are planning a Learn Along that will last through November. For full show notes with pictures, visit the Two Ewes website.

Marsha is working along on her Iba by Bonne Marie Burns. She's using textured Rambouillet yarn from the same batch that is in the Two Ewes Shop. She loves the feel of the wool and the fit of the pattern.

She also has the Elinya shawl on the needles for social knitting.

Kelly has no knitting or crochet in progress, but she is swatching and practicing filet crochet in order to make Papel Picado. The real papel picado is a traditional Mexican decoration for Dia de los Muertos. Kelly found a pattern for a crochet lace version and has visions of making enough to string across an entire room.

She is also looking for a sweater pattern for some coned cashmere fingering and some Chickadee sport weight to combine into one cardigan. A listener suggested Brise, a cute sweater designed for linen yarn. Another one the is in consideration is Running Water.

One of Kelly's projects from last year was entered in the Monterey County Fair and won Best in Show! If you are coming to the fair, August 30-September 3, look for the Cowichan Sweater in the Wool Room.

The Two Ewes are starting a "School Days Learn Along" that will last until November 30. To join, just participate in the chat thread in the Two Ewes Ravelry group and post your finished objects in the FO thread. All finished objects should be things for which you had to learn something to complete them. For example, Kelly will be learning some crochet techniques for the papel picado and Marsha will be taking a colorwork class so she can make a tea cosy that isn't too tight to fit over her teapot! Knit, crochet, weave, spin--all of those are eligible!

Marsha ends the episode with a quote from Kyoko Mori's book Yarn: Remembering the Way Home.
