Grande: Ben finished three dice bags. Abby finished the Stricken socks and the Derry Raglan and Cowl. Ben also finished the Kitten Mittens.
Chai: Abby visited Wool and the Gang, a very unusual knitting shop in SoHo.
Taste: We reviewed The Knitter's Book of Finishing Techniques by Nancie Wiseman.
Bite: Abby is in search of the perfect circular needle: slick, pointy tip, almost indestructible. Advice, anyone?
Caffeinated: Both Abby and Ben are reading the Dresden Files books and thoroughly enjoying them. Ben also recommends the audio books.
Barista Special: It's not too late to sign up for our Westknits knitalong! You can do that on our ravelry group, or via email.
Norwegian Star Earflap Hat, Ben finished it last week.
Just wanted to thank you for another great Podcast and let you know that I am a huge fan of the Nancie Wiseman book as well. I have been knitting for 30+ years and this is one of the books I refer to the most. I came late to finishing my own work due to fear of failure--this book has given me much confidence and I now consider myself a very competent finisher.
ReplyDeleteI second your high praise for this book!
Didn't need another set of books to read,(yeah right! LOL) but I appreciate the recommendation for the Dresden books. Ordered from audible Books 1-4. Just finished book 2 and getting ready to start 3. Thanks so much! Love the podcast!
ReplyDeleteBen,
