~KAL- There's still time!!! Knit a pair of baby socks before the end of the month! It has to be tagged in Ravelry as finished by April 30, and it needs to be photographed and posted in the Ravelry Group before NOON on May 1!
~ Knitting- I've done a few rows on my wedding shawl, a lot on the Simple Knitted Bodice, a bit on the Bumbling Podcaster socks, and I started a pair of Monkey Socks for my mama! I also finished my KAL socks!
~ Spinning: Spun up about 1oz of Polworth from Sunset Fibers in colorway Melon. AMAZING! That's all I can say!

Knit Fix by Lisa Kartus
Retail: $19.99
Cons: There are none that I could find.
Pros: The entire book. This book has details on anything that could go wrong in your knitting, and how to fix it! From tinking back a few stitches to un- binding off and fixing color mistakes in intarsia! I wish I'd had this book when I first started knitting! Truly the best book for any knitter, new or seasoned expert!

Hey Rachel, I really like the podcast. I do have a suggestion to make your show notes a little clearer. Since you have a really clear show structure, use the section titles as headings. Put them in bold and on their own line, then with the pertaining notes below. It'll make it much easier when your readers are trying to sift through the information.
ReplyDeleteAgain, I really like the show! Keep it up!
Thank you so much for a wonderfully helpful podcast. I really look forward to hearing each episode. Best of luck on the Wedding Shawl!
