Dream Knitting and Lots of Stitching
Yarns at Yin Hoo
I’m still knitting on the same projects as last episode, so I indulge in some dream knitting and talk about three patterns that have my attention for spring / summer knitting. There’s a lot of hand stitching underway, including my Alabama Chanin bolero and dress, plus a partial placket shirt with the help of Cal Patch. I include a recipe for black sesame cornbread and two poems by Poet Laureate Ada Limǒn. Plus, the winner of the Q1 prize is announced!

Reviving My Oldest WIP
Yarns at Yin Hoo
It may have been more than ten years since I began knitting the Inspira Cowl with colorful, playful, frustratingly tangly Noro yarn. After a long hibernation, it is BACK and I'm determined to finish. Plus, casting on the Pressed Flowers shawl, continuing work on a hand sewing project, baking, and a poem by Margaret Ray.

Sweater in a Week!
Yarns at Yin Hoo
You don't necessarily need a sweater's quantity of yarn to knit a sweater. My new Orbital Jumper used up most of my scraps and leftovers. It's cozy, warm and uniquely mine. Plus, what's on my needles now and I finally have a craft room instead of an office with an ironing board in the corner!
