I'm participating in The Knitmore Girl's Three Bites Contest, and I share what I'm learning. Keira makes a cameo, then takes over the podcast.
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 8: The Anniversary of the Eiffel Tower
Welcome to Episode 8! Lots of works in progress, a few finished objects, and little bit of babbling about not having a job...
** Unfortunately, iMovie did not like my video much this week. It is skipping, and I can't fix it. I think I have fixed the problem for next week, but until then.... Sorry. **
The dishcloth that I made this week is Hob Nail Dish/Wash Cloth by Hakucho, which is the same designer as the Circle Dishcloth that I frogged last week (I will make it one day!). Beautiful patterns--check them out!
My felting project is an adaptation from Felted Cable Bag #143. I cast on 150 and did *Pattern A, knit (purl) 18, Pattern B* three times. I worked 110 rows, which turned out to be a little short, but more on that next week! (Live and learn--that's what I'm all about!)
Special thank you to my itunes reviewers: Didomum, Knitamaniac, and LexNulla. I truly appreciate your support!!
