Episode 2: The Redo

Shownotes:


WIP's:
Josh is working on a Vulpix shawl by Stephen West. It is worked on US size 4/3.5 mm needles and is knitted out of Knitpicks Bare Palette base that he dyed himself. 


He is also working on a Mitered Crosses Blanket by Kay Gardiner. It is knit on US size 8/5mm needles and out of various worsted and bulky weight yarns.

FO's: 
Josh finished a Rambling Rows blanket out of various worsted/aran weight acrylics from his stash. 


He also designed and finished a still-to-be-named lace shawl made from Fearless Fibers Classic Merino Sock that he over-dyed to make into a beautiful greens and browns. 


Josh went crazy and cast on and FINISHED a Boneyard shawl (by Stephen West) in less then a week! It was knitted out of 6 shades of Lion Brand Wool-Ease that he had left over from another blanket he made last year. (which happened to be a Lizard Ridge blanket by Laura Aylor) 


Random: 


He talked about this newer group on Ravelry called the Hunger Games group where you knit things to compete in challenges. Which is very similar to the Harry Potter House Cup group. 


He also talked about his error made last week in calling the Knitgirllls Missourians rather then Mississippians! If you haven't watched their videocast yet, go and do so!!!


He then went on to explain about Shawliday and the group he's involved in promoting on Ravelry, the Wear a Shawl Day group. All sorts of crafters are welcomed!!!!(as long as it is a Ravelry santioned craft!) So come on in and join the fun!!!!


Finally, all references to a somewhat well-known website referred to as Ravelry may be answered by following the link to Ravelry.com 

Episode 1: We Begin!

Shownotes:


Josh has 7 WIPs (or so he claims...) of which three were revealed on this episode


1) He is working on the Vulpix shawl by Stephen West out of Knit Picks Bare Palette base that he dyed himself using food safe dyes. 


2) He is also working on the Mitered Crosses Blanket by Kay Gardiner. It is made out of Berroco Vintage Chunky in 3 different colors, Berroco Lustra, Cascade 220, a Canadian yarn by Two Dot Designs (which unfortunately he can't find a link for), Aslan Trends Del Cerro, Plymouth Yarn Select Worsted Merino Superwash, and Berroco Comfort Worsted. 


3) His "last" WIP is the Rams and Yowes blanket pattern by Kate Davies. He is making it out of Knit Picks Palette in 9 shades of grey. The original pattern calls for Jamieson and Smith Natural Shetland, but he is a rebel and refuses to conform! ;) (the original yarn, however is STUNNING!!!) 


Josh has finished two objects to show and they are: 


1) His Rambling Rows Afghan by Pat Penney and Carol Anderson of Cottage Creations. It was made out of some Red Heart Super Saver and some Hobby Lobby I Love This Yarn. 


2) His own new shawl design - still to be named! - made out of Fearless Fibers Classic Merino Sock Yarn that was originally in the Sand and Sun colorway, but he overdyed it and it became a green/brown mix that transformed into a shawl! (this yarn is now discontinued and the link will take you to the ravelry stash page for the original color!)


Fun Stuff!


A big thank you was given to the Knitgirllls and once again he says thank you for inspiring his vidcast. 


And speaking of them... Josh said that they were from Missouri, but in actuality they live in Mississippi! So sorry!!!

Crayola 64 box o' crayons were mentioned as well.
