A Heroine’s Journey

Show notes to come later!!! But just wanted to get this out there!

Whoa, there is some serious mythological knitting in this fibercast!. I draw for the Highlands on the Fly Retreat Package, discuss reindeer farming in Textiles in Time and do battle with local fauna!

Also, I am working on quality control…but having a hard time producing a clear picture…hmmmm?  I’ll keep trying!

Fibercast 21: A Flub

The original title of this fibercast was changed due to the astute ears of a viewers!  During this podcast I do a brief tutorial on washing fleece in the lock and I say NOT to go from COLD to HOT but what I meant was do NOT go from HOT to COLD! RATS!  I will qualify this more next time and of course, apologize profusely for being in error.

This episode has been a bit of a trial.  I have amended and uploaded twice due to some unforeseen musical interludes. But here it is, I hope in edited perfection.  Morgan joins me this week with a mega faun minute on Wolves and we learn about a shawl design by Karina Westermann

Megatron Stocking & The Island Wool KAL Drawing

I am, as usual,  just going to post the link to the youtube channel and will update the show notes in the future.  Most everything can be found in the previous post for projects.

 

This week we are a bit tired and can’t find the words…although I am full of adjectives and few nouns. There is a mini Textiles in Time, we draw at the end for the Island Wool KAL and lord can we “blether” on!

 

Fondant Fibre–offering a discount to enhance the enabling!

 

 

An Attempted Tribute to Sir David Attenborough!

There’s knitting and then Morgan and I go a bit south…Who knows what happened here but it was hot and late and we just let the camera roll…

I will update the show notes…but just wanted to get this out there!  Look for links to the WIPS in the Peaty That’s Me post   I will include the link to the David Attenborough interview where a little Fresh Prince of Bel Air inspiration happened.  But for now…it just me and Morgan being a little silly..
