I wanted to spend a little more time talking about the Fiber Hooligan podcast! Fiber Hooligan interviews all sorts of voices in the fiber community including:
Adella Colvin (LoLaBean Yarn Co.), The Oink Pigments Team (Alexa Wilson, Helena Bristow, Julie Gillespie, & Harper Hodes), Karida Collins (Neighborhood Fiber Co.), Etc.
Updates
I felt like all I was doing was knitting flames! But today-I finished them! I now have 10 completed dumpster fire ornaments, 9 blocking and one in line to block. Thank you Husband!
It helped to lay out all of my not completed dumpsters to see what I needed
On Monday-my husband found them on the floor! I have no idea if it was my son or the cat or maybe just a freak accident-but I put them back up and It’s was a nice home base to see where I am at with all of them.
I’m hoping to cast on one more Hat Not Hate hat-I have a skein for Vanna’s choice blue yarn, and I think it would be nice to find a fun pattern for it-if you have any ideas please message or email us! I would love some ideas! I plan on casting on as soon as I’ve bound off my dumpsters.
Since I’m trying to focus on finishing my dumpsters I haven’t been working on my other projects, but I’m excited to get back to them!
IRL
Last weekend we biked for the first time with a group with our son. It went pretty well and it was a very nice trail! We biked out in Waukee which is a 20 minute drive away. We started early and left from Kinship brewery and biked to breakfast at the brickyard and came back to the Kinship brewery and tried a few of their brews. It’s a great brewery with a dog park!
That’s FO for now! Talk to you in our next short and in the next Gravel knits full episode!
