90% Knitting - Episode 5

Show Notes:

ON THE NEEDLES:

• Feb. YOSS plain vanilla sock; Fleece Artist Somoko, Sun colorway
• Haruni, pattern by Emily Ross; Loopy Ewe Solids Series, white

FINISHED OBJECTS:

• Lowell Cowl, pattern by Antonia Shankland; Sublime Angora Merino & Sublime Kid Mohair Blend
• Daybreak Shawl, pattern by Stephen West; Three Irish Girls Kells Sport Merino, Lagoon & Arboretum

ON THE WHEEL/IN THE DYE:

• Finished the Rambouillet-Soy Silk, 124 yards 2-ply worsted/heavy worsted
• Dyed some (hopefully) four-stripe self-striping sock yarn and some Targhee-Mohair fiber

OOPS:

• Overestimating the yardage I had to work with for the Daybreak shawl, necessitating much tinking in order to bind off!
