Design features
Emily- did entirely wrong stitch pattern on Laurie. Wasn’t paying attention to decreases on Stovetop and had to redo some rows.
Karla - Hat for Locke was too big so we went down a size and re-cast on.

Spinning
Emily -.
Started spinning Sweet Georgia’s Panda Base 60/30/10 Merino, bamboo, nylon in the Tea Party colour way.
Karla - solar dyed a superwash BFL and spun it into a 2 ply. I have mitten plans for this :D

Best laid plans
Emily - Sweater then toddler sweaters and WIPS
Karla - After the Darling Hat, start working through wips.  Socktober is coming so I’m planning to knit patterned socks only during October.

Adventures in Mommyhood
Emily- Potty training woes, I want this, make it , then she’s doesn’t want it anymore and freaks out. She’s 2!

Karla- whinning, literally making a terrible noise all the time. Practicing jumping.

Enjoyed listening to you ladies ~ & you needn't thank me; you're very deserving. I just wanted to share the love. It was my first time working with a sock blank & I've only recently worked with my first sparkle base.

I bought the Hinterland for a friend recently ... it's lovely! You're going to love it .. & in a sweater; totally spoiling yourself! Good for you!

I hope you have fun at KC ~ wish I could go & meet up with you, but I'll look forward to hearing all about it.
