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…

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!

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..

Join us as we meet Jani Estell of Starcroft Fiber Mill and Mary Jane Mucklestone to learn about yarn and sweater design!

This week Morgan has a FO and I expound upon spinning. There is Textiles in Time..wool dogs of the Coast Salish and Fern obviously gets in her 2 cents…

It’s a been a busy two weeks with a Fiber Trek shoot and friend in town!  But summer is settling in.  This fibercast includes a Textiles in Time Segment, minimal knitting objects but a fair amount of enabling as I ventured out to the Fiber Frolic this past weekend!
Knit or craft away!

Tidal Yarns

Field’s Edge Farm

Know that in this episode we introduce the Mega Fauna Minute with Morgan…and we talk about coyotes.  We talk about their life cycle as well as “touch” on the implications of this life cycle for Mainers. This can go either way for Morgan and I.  It contains a bit of biology so if you are not so interested in this discussion, tune in next time for another Textiles in Time!

We talk knitting prior to the ecology!

Morgan joins me this week to assist in recapping MS&W.  I have a feeling more will unfold in the coming weeks.  There is A LOT of acquisitions and discoveries but we try to break it up bit with some fun facts on guard dogs and long wool breeds.  We’ll see if you think they are “fun”.  The show notes this week will become there own page on the blog as there are a number of links to transfer over in the mean time I figured it would be best to get this published!  Hope this finds you well and in good spirits!
