All links to Ravelry are labelled as such. I try to include links to outside websites as much as possible. At this time, I am not including links for purchasing yarns, needles, etc. If I do, they will also be appropriately labelled. As a quick reminder: I am not affiliated with any businesses.

Life on the Road Update – 01:45
Mom is doing better, and is back to work. Thank you all for the kind and lovely words you had for Episode 10.
Deathwish Coffee: Not a sponsor, just a need 03:00
Open Throttle – 03:08
We finally have a better title for the segment! Since I was on a working-vacation (for me at least) I was fairly single minded and working on all of the MHK level 1 swatches. I used two new colors. Duck Egg Blue and Aran.
The Clun Forest fleece is still being spun on. This episode I mentioned that I am plying from the bobbins, but this has not been as much of a focus as the MHK swatches.
Gauge Rage: Scream into the void – 07:50
Stalled – 08:00
The Chandelure socks (ravelry link) from Operation Sock Drawer (what!what!) needed to be frogged. They were simply too small.
My re-start on the MHK swatches needed to be re-started. My gauge and tension have changed and I ended up needing to change needles. Of course that means that all the progress I had made was null.
Mom’s Yarn Stash: omg – 11:27
Gear Check – 11:55
Today’s gear check is a nifty and cute little tool called the Sheep Shaped Spinners Multi-Tool from Fiber Sprite. It has multiple ways to help spin more consistently all at the tips of my fingers.

Scenic Route – 17:53
Some of the new roses are blooming! The Flamenco and Brigadoon roses both had buds and blooms. My edible garden has expanded due to a gift of two raised planters from a neighbor. They will be growing herbs and peppers.
