Recorded on April 12 and April 15, 2018 Book Talk starts at 36:50   Our Never-Have-I-Ever Sock-along will continue until May 15, 2018.  Make socks like you’ve never made before - try a new heel, using a pattern if you usually stick with vanilla, knit from a sock blank for the first time, do color work - or maybe try socks for the very first time!  Please go to the Never-Have-I-Ever Sock-along Chatter thread to join the fun.  Post your finished socks here.     Get ready for our summer swap, hosted by the wonderful Sandra (SweetSerendipity37).  Check out this thread and vote to let Sandra know you’d like to participate.   KINITTING Tracie’s FOs: Wee Wrap by Susan Barstein in Plymouth Rainbow Toybox in colorway 69 13 Knitted Knockers in Cascade Ultra Pima and CoBaSi Plus by HiKoo   Barb’s FOs: Knitted Knockers Peer Pressure Shawlette #2, using Madelinetosh Tosh Merino Light in the Whiskey Barrel colorway   Tracie has cast on:  Girl’s Poncho by Plymouth Yarn in Plymouth Encore Colorspun in 8198 colorway Rikke Hat by Sarah Young in Serendipidye Kings Mountain DK in South by Southwest   She is working on: 6th Fiddly Bits cowl by Jane Pihota from fingering weight magic cake all in shades of green!
