Download this episode (42 min)
Welcome!!!
Thanks to Changelings Knit and Stitch Podcast for mentioning me! I appreciate it! Good podcast with awesome accent! i love it!

On/Off the Needles:
-Baby shower is all done, and secret project has been revealed! Little Turtle Knits Hybrid Wool Soaker. Great pattern, easy to follow, LOTS of sizes included!
I'll post pictures once I get them from my cousin....once again, I gifted before I photographed!

She got a pair of Baby Legs as a gift, and they were SO cute! use them on arms or legs! i totally want to knit myself a pair!!!

-Tilted Duster: Sleeves are nearing completion. I need to figure out how to seam...i've never done it, and for whatever reason i'm scared (hold me!)

-No knitting group this week....but I share my story of imperfection knitting corruption. Do you knit for perfection?! or are you okay with the ebb and flow of stitches done right?

-Cast on Bellatrix Socks using magic loop. want to try to knit 2 on 1 circ. Mention a book that just came out called 2-at-a-Time Socks by Melissa Morgan-Oakes. and I found this Blog Tutorial that shows how to do it (links are on side bar...looks like he has some other helpful things on there too).
***Update: I ended up ordering the book the day after I finished recording the podcast. I thought it'd be helpful to have it on hand...and it was only $11.53...so i rationalized it***

-Tomten...still not on needles...i'm scared of fires and melting....

Silly story about owen dancing for gummie bears.

Spinning:
-Used wheels are still a good option.
-Spun up spunky eclectic's party dress because it's COLD and i want mittens! (see photo)
-I have ThinYarnPhobia. Trying to conquer fear through direct approach. spinning as thin as i possibly can!
-I am a spinning snob....will try to be less worried about "wasting fiber"
-Spinning Guild Meeting is on monday...Should I bring my cape? or wait?
-Yarn School...I so want to go!
-Do you really save money spinning?

I am one of those perfectionist knitters that re-do what I have knitted to get rid of a mistake, but still have never done a perfect project. ;oP

Hi Meghan,
I'm totally hooked on your podcasts! And that's not all. You've got me cleaning with vinegar and loving it. You should see my shiny bathroom sink! I ordered an Amelie DVD and TWO "clicky-things."

Just now when your fifth podcast ended and the music played, I got the special feeling I get when I hear Brenda Dayne's music for Cast-on. Wow!

Keep them coming, please. I might have to watch out I don't take up spinning next, eh? Oh, and the perfectionist thing kicks in when I've made a THIRD mistake in a project.
