Find, print and hang more photos in our home.   Why? I scrapbooked 2005-2009 of my life and then again for part of 2013. I am so grateful to have documented the stories of that time in my life, especially as my nieces and nephews were born. I want to fill in the gaps and document those stories before I lose them. Kids were still so little then. So many cute photos, memories, milestones. funny things they said. I have boxes of photos & memorabilia my mother thoughtful saved for me. I want to organize it and purge what I don’t want and find a system for making this into something worth saving and sharing. I want to remember and celebrate my life. I want to share stories with my family and pass along wisdom where I can.   What I've done so far   Identify an approach- Stacy Julian, Library of Memories approach combined with Project Life divided page protectors Sort through childhood memorabilia based on these categories Assess finished scrapbooks. Sort through emails and journals. Momento app all to pull social media. Reorganize 2014 photos already printed into LOM approach. Started scrapbooking them!

misadventures in knitting

Tara & Ashley, two Baltimore friends chronicle their love & missteps for all kinds of multi- craftualism

Rank #1: Ep 001: (mis)adventures at Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival.
In this episode, Ashley and I introduced ourselves and the podcast.  We discussed recent finished objects, imaginary knitting, and our experience at the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival that took place May 6th and 7th at the Howard County Fairgrounds. Misadventures: Oh, there were so many awesome (mis)adventures this past week because of the festival! Ashely purchased a skein of KnittyAndColor Acoustic Sock in the colorway “Acid Rainbow”,  a skein of Neighborhood Fiber Company’s Studio Sock in the colorway “Swoon”, Justamere Tree Farm Pure Maple Syrup, a skein of Buffalo Skies DK in “Wolf Brothers”, and two skeins from Dragonfly Fibers Pixie in “Peach Melba” and “Riptide”. Tara purchased the Strauch Jumbo Ball Winder, the tabletop swift from Yarn Tech, a multicolored Empire skein from Jill Draper Makes Stuff, and a DK weight skein from Knitty and Color. Cast on/Bind off: Ashley recently finished the Knitting Pure and Simple V-Neck Cardigan!  The buttons are from Woolworks and the backing ribbon is stash from Renaissance Ribbon- Kaffe Fassett series. (Possibly purchased from Patches in Chatsworth, CA.) Tara recently finished the Vera Bear by Annita Wilschut and the matching sweater, An Outfit for Vera Bear.  Tara modified the pattern by omitting the hood and by using a 3 needle bind-off to connect the pocket lining to the outer part of the sweater.  Vera was knit in Cascade 220 and the sweater used stashed Cephalapod Yarns Traveller. Imaginary Knitting: Ashley hopes to knit the Bambara Wrap by Ambah O’Brien using Primrose Yarn. Tara wants to knit the Diplodocus sweater from Tot Toppers using stashed Jill Draper Makes Stuff’s Hudson and Neighborhood Fiber Company’s Studio Worsted in a rainbow of colors. Old Bay on Everything: In this section, we share our love of Baltimore and the greater Maryland area.  This week, we highlighted the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival.  We both enjoyed the social aspects of the festival and connecting with fellow ravelers, podcasters, and vendors.  Ashely and her family enjoyed seeing the animals, including the sheep dog show on Sunday. We met Aquilla of the Lefty Knitter video cast and Ashley chatted with Boston Jen of Down Cellar Studio.  Tara was able to catch up with a her friend, Lis Barsuglia-Madsen of Scandinavian Weave and Knit. Upcoming Events:  Stash Dash hosted by The Knit Girllls begins May 26th Tour de Fleece Worldwide Knit in Public Day, June 10, 2017 Splash Pad Party with Down Cellar Studio

Rank #2: Episode 017: Needles, Beads and Mysteries!.
Today's topics include: Upcoming Events and General Announcements Lykke Needle Review What we are Wearing Hot Off the Needles What we are Working on and, Healthy Living with Tara and Ashley Today's stash hiding space was shared by TioTweety on Ravelry.  Thanks for participating, Teresa! Upcoming Events and General Announcements The Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival will be held May 5th and 6th at the Howard County Fairgrounds.  Tara will attend the festival on Saturday and is hoping to meet listeners at the podcaster meet up in Barn 7/8 at 1:00 PM.  If you are in the Pittsburgh area that same weekend, you can cheer on Ashley, who will run the Pittsburgh 1/2 Marathon! A shout out to Sally4 for visiting Woolworks!  Thank you to Judy and Mary for participating in our last Google Hang Out! We are planning a second Knitters Book Club to take place this summer.  More information to come. Finally, we need your input!  We are planning a future episode that will focus on local yarn shops.  A thread will be created in our Ravelry group asking for your thoughts and opinions.  If you have the time, feel free to participate! Lykke Needle Review Lykke needles are very popular so we decided to review them (and thanks for the suggestion, Jackie!).  They are dyed to look like drift wood but are actually birch wood.  A very helpful review can be found at Knitter's Review, by Clara Parkes. Ashley says: I like how the size of the needle is etched clearly on the side and won't rub off. The cord is stiff for magic loop. I like the needle tip which is smooth and has a nice, middle of the road point. The advertising on the website is deceiving. Tara says: I like the price point!  More affordable than Addi's. The cord is stiff.  This works well for a hat but I wonder what it would be like for a shawl. The needle tip is dark in color, so be aware if using dark yarns or if you are a beginning knitter. Overall: They are worth trying out! What we are Wearing: Tara has been wearing the Fancy Cardi by Joji Locatelli.  She used Dragonfly Fibers Pixie in the Espresso Roast colorway. And because the temperature has been on the cooler side, Tara has also worn the Gather Together Sweater by Joji Locatelli.  She used Plucky Trusty in the Two Hearted colorway. Ashley has been wearing the Four Seasons Shawl by Alana Dakos.  She used Three Irish Girls Wexford Merino Base. She has also been wearing La Mer Socks by Sandra Park, knitted by Ashley's friend, Heather. Hot Off the Needles Tara finished the Amulet Shawl by Helen Stewart.  She used Old Maiden Aunt's Sock Yarn in the Buttermint colorway and beads purchased at Lovelyarns in Baltimore, MD. Ashley finished her #knittersbookclubkal!  She knit the Ruched Beret by Susan B. Anderson, which is from the Weekend Hats Book. What we are Working On Ashley finished sock #1 of the Vintage Fairy Lights pattern by Helen Stewart. Ashley is nearly finished with the Confluence Shawlette by Sivia Harding.  She is using The Fibre Company Meadow yarn.  She is using Japanese Toho Beads. Finally, Ashley is working on the Impressionist Mystery Knit Along by Helen Stewart.  Ashley is using Primrose Adelaide but is feeling unsure about her color choices.  Tara is also working on this project and is using the same yarn!  Twinsies! Tara is also working on the Creatrix Shawl by Laura Nelkin.  She is finding this challenging but fun!  She is using The Fibre Company Meadow and size 6-0 and 8-0 beads. Healthy Living with Ashley and Tara--Movement Ashley and Tara talk about the benefits of moving! Tara mentioned the podcast called The Walk, by Naomi Alderman.  She also read a quote from NPR.  Naomi Alderman also has a free phone app called Zombies, Run. Ashley is training for the 1/2 portion of the Pittsburgh Marathon.  Ashley uses the Strava App to keep track of her pace and miles.
