[/caption]What's in my bag?
- Plum Crazy Cowl is coming along nicely
- Orange Sharf is moving forward at a trickle
- Midnight summer's triangle scarf has been retired to the craft cabinet with frogging in it's future
What's in my ears?
- My usual yarn-lovin' podcasts referenced in previous episodes
- The Nerdist
- The Moth (a must if you love story telling!)
What's in my stash?
The cowls mentioned in the finished objects section were quick crochet projects using Malabrigo Black #195 and Sealing Wax and Lion Brand Homespun in Wildfire.

[/caption]Those yarns were in my stash ever so briefly! I want to give Sheepish a whirl by Vickie Howell and add that to my stash as soon as possible.
In other news, I'm thoroughly enjoying a Craftsy class with Linda Permann, Beyond Rectangles. I highly recommend this format of instruction! I also whipped out my knitting instructional video called [amazon_link id="B000A0P6A4" target="_blank" ]The Complete Beginner's Guide to Knitting by Nici McNally[/amazon_link] to study up on correct technique and try to improve my tension and speed. Excitedly I briefly talk about being asked to review a new crochet book by Lark Publishing.
