Here is the link for the KAL socks! If you are a knitter and have not yet joined Ravelry, I recommend you do so. It's wicked helpful and enabling.

Episode 8 - The Imperial March

Show notes coming soon - I swear this time! The laptop is acting up and I'm lucky to have gotten this far. Does anyone know what "kernel panic" means??

Episode 7 - Going All White Rabbit

It's been awhile! And there hasn't been a whole lot of progress on The Histories, but there's been a bunch of reading! 

Here's what I plowed through during my break: 

The #1 Ladies' Detective Agency by Alexander McCall-Smith

Forever in Blue: The 4th Summer of the Sisterhood by Ann Brashares

Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett

I also finished my Mysterious Mirror Socks, made out of a Pigeonroof Studios one-of colorway.

And then I started some Papa Socks in Lorna's Laces Pioneer. They're done now, and I'm working diligently on my Scarf #21 KAL. 

And then I did some spinning on Jasmin's Louet Victoria. I finished 1/2 of a bump of Ivory Coast from Crown Mountain Farms. 

And lastly, I got a whole MESS of yarn and fiber. I visited MeadowFarm Yarn Studio and Filati Fine Yarns, and all together I picked out 6 skeins of Kryptonite, AKA Schaefer Anne, and a couple of other sock yarns that I've never tried before. So much for a 1-to-1 ratio of output to input! 

Disneyland was great! Here's my Flickr set.

Episode 4 - Another Stitches Recap

I start the podcast right by mimicking Meghan from Stitch It! Please remember what they say about imitation and flattery.

I finished Hardy's Return of the Native, and it was as awesome as 19th century literature can get. Interestingly, the end reminded me of Burgess's A Clockwork Orange. Also, I finished Julie and Julia, which was brain candy at its finest!

All this talk about British stuff reminded me that I got some great tea and an adorable teapot from San Francisco Coffee and Tea at Pier 39.

I went to Stitches! And bought lots of yarn! Here's a list of the vendors I hit up:

Lisa Souza Dyeworks
Blue Moon Fiber Arts
Pigeonroof Studios

Tess Designer Yarns
Imagiknit
Carolina Homespun
Windy Valley Musk Ox

I also met several fans (Hi guys!::crazywave::) at the Knitmore Girls meetup and missed Dr. Gemma from Cogknitive by like 3 seconds. My friend No-Blog Rachel shopped at Brooks Farm for this yarn, which is wicked cool. I also ran into Kelly of Ceallach Dyes, who is even cooler than Rachel's yarn.

I finished both the Mismatched Relatively-Normal Socks and a cotton Dishcloth because the How Clean is Your House? ladies recommend cotton dishcloths. I'm currently working on the Scarf #21 from VLT, a Girasole by Jared Flood, and some socks; all of which require charts.

I'm spinning some Lincoln-Corriedale that is quite pretty and will one day become a naturally-colored something or other.

A huge thank-you to Aija for the gorgeous hand-carded batts! I will love them and call them... Bob.
