I'm new to knitting, and it reminds me of when I was an exchange student in Australia: we SHOULD be speaking the same language, but I am still confused. Knitting is a whole different world for me, and I love learning new things about it. This is my journey.

Episode 27 The Terrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
Shownotes:
Lessons I'm Learning/Works in Progress
KnitFreedom Fair Isle Knitting e-book. I'm making the bag into a basket!
The Sock Sniper socks are made out of my own hand-dyed 100% merino, which is not available for purchase, but I do have other hand-dyed yarn available at SpartickesDyes. The pattern is called Struttin in Seersucker by SarahBess. It is a great pattern that is available in toe up or cuff down and heel flap or short row, which is super cool! SarahBess is the coordinator of Sock Sniper, which is a knitting competition to raise money for Doctors without Borders.
Final Exam/Finished Object
Spring Buds Fingerless Mitts by Robin Currier. It is also made with my own hand-dyed yarn, which is not available for purchase--I know, mean, right?
Contest
Make sure you enter to win a beautiful skein of yarn from AnotherCraftyGirl. She has such amazing yarn. I love it all so much!
Souvenirs/Enabling
Tickle by Tempted is 100% merino in her Sly Grrl base. I can't wait to use it!!!
Pirates of the Carrot Penis by Etherial Fibers. Friend her on plurk so you can get her update previews!!
Lemonade Stand/Spartickes Dyes
Today, I showed off some project bags and a cool zippered notions bag from Spartickes Dyes. I'm happy to do custom orders (bags and yarn), so just let me know!
I hope I didn't miss anything. I left the paper version of my shownotes upstairs, and I can't be wasting time by running up to get them. I've got socks to knit! If I did, just contact me, and I'll fill you in on the details!
Thanks for watching!!
