BTF Episode 66: My Own Way Through

In which I go for a walk along the beach and learn about myself, spin some angora and love it, talk a little about cotton for Level 4, make a little more progress on my current projects, get the Auto Knitter back together but not yet knitting, and move the frame on the Accolade. Thanks for listening!

Shownotes:

Fibre Week

• Fibre Week at Olds College.

Fibre Notes

• Grinsheep Fibre Productions, where my wedding shawl fibre came from.
• In the Night Garden by Lidia Zigninova – the pattern for my wedding shawl!
• Vanilla Latte Socks by Virginia Rose-Jeanes – nice sock pattern with a little bit of fun to keep interest.
• Rav link to Estelle Sock Twins Multi, the yarn I’m using for the Vanilla Latte socks.
• Electric Eel Wheel Nano.
• Link to a video where I’m trying out Version 1 of Dad’s new spindle kate. Version 2 has cradles for support spindles and a second tension band.

Cranking on the Fibreside

• Some information about the Autoknitter machines.
• This one looks a lot like mine (the before restoration photos).

By The Wayside
