FOs (Finished Objects)

Kelsey: No FOs this episode

Glenda: Wearing - Cozy (Me) by Nadia Crétin-Léchenne, made with Cascade 220 Heathers in Pale Indigo Heather

Super-Natural Stripes by Fawn Pea, made with Organic Pakucho Cotton Worsted by Vegan Yarn. 2 balls of Vanilla Cream, 1 each of Deep Green and Rust. Made this as a store sample.

WIPS (Works in Progress)

Glenda

Waiting for Rain by Sylvia McFadden/Softsweater. Made with Briggs & Little Sport in the oddly named Grey Heather.
Atlin Sweater by Pip & Pin, made with Dakota yarn from the Fidalgo Artisan Yarn store in Anacortes, WA. Haven’t been working on it much, because I’m trying to finish other projects
Weekender Blanket by Sandra Paul. Using all my worsted weight scraps and minis. Pulled this out of a pile of projects and my gauge is way off… also I can only crochet a little bit each day.

Kelsey

Aila by Isabel Kraemer - Vegan Yarn Pelaides sock yarn, colourway Seaside
Imogen Tee - by Carrie Bostick Hoge in Holst Garn Samarkand Aubergine aka Eggplant, because I can’t pronounce cool British words! The Samarkand is discontinued but the Holst Garn Tides is a wonderful replacement for this yarn if you want to get a similar look and feel.

Desert Island Yarn - if you could use only one yarn forever, what would it be and why?
