Episode 161 - I'm Back!

Warning: there is A LOT of yarn and fiber in this video. If that's not your kind of thing, I suggest you turn back now!   My 'wool room' was desperate to be tidied up and organized, so I decided to film it so I would have some company and extra motivation along the way.  Thank you for keeping me company!  I like to use Extra Large Ziploc bags as well as 62 and 99 liter Sterilite containers to keep everything organized and safe from the possibility of pests.  We'll be back to the regularly formatted show for Episode 161 in about a week.

Episode 160 - Wool Room Clean Up

  I spun up 4,040 Spinzilla yards including plying!  The fiber I spun was: Sweet Georgia Superwash Targhee, Sept 2015 Club colorway, Open Hands Sweet Georgia Superwash Merino, Phoenix Rising  Other fibers on my spinning list (that I didn't get to) included: Sweet Georgia Silk Puff in the Spinzilla 2017 colorway, Firestarter.  Watch for this spin coming up in the next few months.  I just started a sweater spin from some World of Wool Oatmeal BFL that has been in my stash since about 2015.    I mentioned Susan B. Anderson's Smooth Operator Socks as well as Kirbywirby's YouTube video on afterthought heels.  Both of these were suggestions I got when I asked about favorite afterthought heel socks on Instagram.  I'm nearing the heels on my Biscotte Yarns Bis-Sock in Pansies.    The sweaters I show are both by Josee Paquin, the purple is Miranda and the red is Tolmie.  My fall scent obsession is the "Hello Fall' and "Let's Stay Home" candles from Bath and Body Works.

Episode 157 - Squishy Garter Rib

Adventures in knitting, hand spinning and other craftiness on the West Coast of Canada!

I was so bummed when you announced you weren&#39;t going to podcast anymore. What a nice surprise to find you when I was searching for spinning tips. Keep up the great work.

Glad you are back!

Chrissy is a personable and knowledgeable podcaster who is a pleasure to listen to.

Wonderful Podcast1

snappy stitches

I may not have been podcasting much over the past few weeks, but I sure have been knitting!!  It is very likely that my podcasts will be a little sporadic over the summer as I try to balance everything I want/need to get done.  My intention is to have WIP and FO jam packed shows when I do record though.  I've been on a bit of a sweater kick (appropriate for a hot dry spell, right?)    ...and the four sweaters in question are -  Hiro by Julia Farwell-Clay Miranda by Josée Paquin Tolmie by Josée Paquin Whispers by Veera Välimäki  I am totally loving the Mule Spinner 2-Ply from Custom Woolen Mills, and plan to buy at least one more sweater's quantity once I've finished knitting Tolmie.  A rainbow of Tolmies perhaps?   Today I was wearing my Pebble Beach Shawl by Helen Stewart. I knit this one out of Habu Tsumugi Silk, and it is absolutely perfect for summer!

Episode 155 - Tall Watermelons

Since we last spoke, I headed over to the Lower Mainland Sheep Producer's Association Wool and Ewe-A-Fair, which is held annually at the Cloverdale Fairgrounds.  I hadn't planned to go, since I prefer to escape to these types of events kid-free if at all possible, but at the last minute, I decided to go with Emily in tow.  We went for the morning, leaving before the fleece auction began at noon.  I just can't be trusted around all those fresh wool fumes!   We had a really nice time, and I found a couple (of pounds, HA!) of goodies to bring home.  I left fully intrigued with (and regretting I didn't buy) one of the woven 'stadium cushions' from Hannelo's Studio.  You can see a picture of what I'm talking about if you follow the link. They look amazing in person! She's a fiber artist based in the Fraser Valley.  I was really impressed with the variety and beautiful colours at Ewesful Creations' booth.  I also made a quick stop in at Birkeland Bros booth. I was really hoping to pick up another pound of white Crossbred sliver to go with the pound I bought at one of the events last year (for a future sweater spin), but they didn't have any of that with them.  Never fear, I found some wool to follow me home.  Links Lower Mainland Sheep Producer's Association Ewesful Creations, Chilliwack, BC Birkeland Bros, Abbotsford, BC  Deb Robson interview on the Fruity Knitting Podcast  Breed specific wool - North Country Cheviot  I also included a little video clip of the way Emily and I have been spinning together. She loves to put her foot on the treadles and help with the spinning. She often insists I take my feet off the treadles so she can do it herself, but she isn't able to keep the wheel going by herself yet.

Episode 154 - Serial Stasher

Just a little bit of knitting this week, but a ton TON of spinning finished up!  I also do a book review of Felicia Lo's new book, Dyeing to Spin and Knit. I picked it up from my local library, and I'm so glad I did!   If you are looking for my new weaving podcast, you can find The Weaving Show here. It is currently only available on YouTube.  I've also started a site for the show notes, which can be found here.  I will post new episodes as I have more weaving projects and plans to talk about.  I have no intention of discontinuing Snappy Stitches, and will continue to talk about my knitting and spinning here.
