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

Souvenirs/Enabling

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!

Season 2, Episode 1

The opening minute or so of this video is all messed up. I was going to re-record it, but it cracked me up every time I watched it. So, I decided to keep it. I hope you enjoy! (If it is too distracting or annoying, just fast forward about 45 seconds. Fair Isle Knitting, LiatmGat from KnitFreedom.com and Philosopher's Wool--watch the whole video, not just the first 3 minutes like I did the first time... Tour de Sock is a speed sock knitting competition throughout the summer. For the Garter Tab Cast On, I used Liat's provisional cast on. Then I watched LoopYarn for the garter tab cast on. I can't think of what else I talked about. Let me know if you want links to anything else...
