Leslie is knitting on a Celadon out of Neighborhood Fiber Studio DK in the Shades of Umber gradient paired with Mondawmin.  She also has been working on the Evenflow by Joji Locatelli out of Must Stash Sweater Girl yarn in Queen of Hearts colorway, slightly modifying the front band and pockets.  She started on a random bulky blanket of indeterminate design in an attempt to put a dent into stash dash.

Laura and Leslie have been spinning nothing this week.

 

Question from Nightowlknitter, “I’m in the process of designing my perfect knitting essentials accessory kit (darning needles, tape measure, scissors, etc). I was wondering what you two considered the perfectly stocked kit for knitting. Also for spinning.”

 

Leslie is listening to Mistborn, Kobe is listening to the Timebound series by Rysa Walker and reading the third in the Lockwood & Co series, and has started the Mercedes Lackey Arrows Trilogy.  Laura has been reading Shepard’s Crown by Terry Pratchet.

About Leslie

Leslie is obsessed with knitting, and when possible, perfection in her knitting. All stripey socks must match exactly and all lace must be blocked severely. She has major love for all of her viewers/readers and hopes to keep blogging and podcasting for years to come.
