Twisted Strands Episode 118: The three R's of knitting and crochet

Welcome to Episode 118!

New Victims:
Fiber Addiction, special colorway Louix, plans to make a greta cat by R. Danger
Mother Frogging Yarns, Boo Frog self striping
Knitters Nightmare, Sugar Skull in Batty sock

Works in Progress:

Textured Acorn Beanie by WeasieWorks test knit, dk weight mystery yarn that I swapped for, will be donated to Emily's hats for Hope. Going to pick it up again as the Lovely Weasieworks has redone pattern to make it clearer and I want to give feedback.
Brighton Sock by Rhian Drinkwater in Out of Step Dyeworks Mutilated colorway.

Curse-breaker 9.0 by Michele DuNaier is out of hibernation

Dead and gone (or FO's)
Nothin!

In the crystal ball, I see myself starting the Boo Knit's Morticia Mystery KAL Shawl.

Stuff and Junk

I really enjoyed the first episode of Sleepy Hollow and will continue to watch. Still watching the Supernatural Series and Dr. Who.
While working on the Acorn beanie, at least the easy bits, watched part of the Friday the 13th marathon on Syfy on Sunday.

The Halloween stitch along is where you can knit, crochet, weave, or cross stitch something Halloween related. There are 2 threads in the group, which you need to be a member of, one for chatter and inspiration, and the other for FO's.

Simply Knitting 109 Must make that beach bag and at least one cactus! Don't forget the CAL We are doing with Chaotic and Crafty, you have until the end of the month. Dr. Who, I've now watched up to Don't blink, but haven't garnered the mentality to watch what is supposed to be an awesome episode.
Thanks so much for the donation, Robin, much appreciated!
Thanks, Tinygeekcrafter, for a copy of your lovely Black Mamba knit jewelry design. I'm sure I have something special to make it with. Tinygeekcrafter is the host of the Knit Me Happy podcast, I recommend her, as she is a sweetheart.

Movies for knitting!

Young Adam, a gritty, kinda sexy film about a drifter during the 1950’s in Scotland.

Toddlers in Tiaras yup.

Bridget the crazy cousin and I took a long-awaited trip to Lion Brand’s Outlet store in the “wilds” of Carlstadt, NJ. There we sat and relaxed (well, I did, Bridget and her mom did more shopping than I.) I also met Tara, a viewer, and her friend Courtney, who has a blog called http://www.nonlinearknitting.com Nonlinear Knitting.

What the Hay!

Cleo gave me the run around, and refused to comply until the instructor intervened.

Norbert is clearly not motivated, despite my best efforts.

The Summer Top knit and crochet along is still going, as I haven’t touched my top since a few rows last week. How sad is that?

The Holiday Gift Non-rush knit and crochet along is going to begin August 15, 2012 and will last until the end of October. I will be drawing from the finished holiday gift objects thread that will magically appear in the Twisted Strands Forum, and there will be a chatter thread, as well. If anyone would like to donate a prize, I’m accepting donations, just get in touch with me, you will get full credit for what you give!

I have a donate button on the blog, too, if you’d like to tip me.

I have buttons for sale, contact me on Ravelry if you’d like to purchase one for 2 dollars!
