EPISODE 138 SHOW NOTES

Back to normal this week with my current projects and plans, apologies for all the noise; animals, drills, sirens….gah!

WIPs

My second version of Betsy’s Butterfly Socks are plain white with rainbow butterflies/bows.

I think they are rather smashing.

I’m using Aloe Sockwool in White (100) and for this version of the sock I’ve worked a heel flap and gusset instead of a shadow wrap heel so the pattern can have both options.

I’m keeping this project in my beautiful project bag from Amy @noblecharactercrafts and the pattern is out with testers right now so hopefully this pattern will be launched before the end of the month.

WIPS

I also picked up my Wool & Honey again after putting it down for Easter projects.

I’m using the recommended yarn which is Brooklyn Tweed Loft in the colour Cinnabar - amazing.

Loving the pattern, waiting for the sleeves…….and this is another one of my #makenine2022mal projects for this year.

WIPS

Also working on my Easter socks. Plain vanilla socks using Regia Pairfect stripey yarn.

100 CROCHET TILES

I talk a little bit about my new samples and designs from the 100 Crochet Tiles book from David & Charles. You can find more about the book and all the designs/designers by watching episode 137 here or reading the show notes here.

I’m quite fond of the book, the designs are all amazing and I hope if you buy the book (I know a lot of you already have), that you will love it too.

PLANS

I’m trying to find a good project to use up my old Madelinetosh stash. I have Cosmic Wonder Dust, Pop Rocks and Candlewick.
