#LushPodKal

Some very naughty ladies have convinced me that it's a great idea to join in the #LushPodKal, so on top of my existing WIPs, the tour de fleece & work, I've decided to cast on another jumper.

Lush is a lovely jumper with a slightly more unusual construction designed by Tin Can Knits.  The yoke is knit sideways & the rest of the jumper knit from this, so it'll be a new style of top for me!

I've chosen some yarn from my stash - it's some very yummy creamy Fyberspates Scrumptious.  Slightly worried that it'll be too soft for a sweater, what if it pills??  It'll be interesting to see what everyone else is knitting with - what are you using?    

The plan was to use British wool for the project.  Fyberspates is a british company, though I'm not sure of the origin of the wool.  However, since I'm knitting from my stash it's the closest I can manage!

Hosted by Knit British, Knit Spin Cake, Caithness Craft Collective & Shiny Bees, the KAL discussion will be held among the different podcasters groups each week.  

Everyone is also tweeting their progress with the tag #LushPodKal, so it'll be lovely to be kept up to date with lushy news!

Also, the sunflowers in the photo were 30p!!  

How did you get on with the tour de fleece, and are you taking part in any KALs?

Caithness Craft Podcast & Fibre Stash on Ravelry!

Hello lovelies!

It has been a little while since my last blog (I do apologise!).  I've recently moved to Glasgow from Edinburgh for work, so between moving house & new job everything is insanely busy at the moment  - good busy!  But busy nonetheless.

I never seem to finish on time,  always appear early for fear I miss something before the shift starts and comes back to bite me in the bottom halfway through my lunch - which I've not actually had the chance to leave the building for yet, but we can all dream.

Louise of the Caithness Craft Podcast asked me to answer a few wee questions for her episode this week!   I first met Louise at the Edinburgh Yarn Festival in March, where my excitement got the better of me and I did nearly knock the contents of my stall over attempting to hug the poor woman.

Also, it's the first I've heard about the new fibre stash section on Ravelry!  Sooo excited about thie

It's a great wee listen when I'm knitting on the bus on the way to work - makes ye smile in the morning :)
