Episode 171: Traveling Stitches
Jenny and Nicole get on the same page finishing up accessories and knitting the Felix pullover. Nicole overthinks what to bring on her trip and Jenny dreams about legwarmers. In their sewing they stay steady making some of their TNT patterns in a variety of fabrics. Happy New Year!
Jenny’s Hat
Dyed for Yarn Merino Alpaca Yak
Jenny is a kid sweater making machine. Nicole stalls out on sweaters and works on some small projects to break through her knitter's block. We are joined by Adrian, producer and Stash and Burn progeny. Interested in taking the next step in your sewing--Pants No. 1 are well within your abilities or try a t-shirt, no serger required! Jenny talks about soap-making and we start to go off the rails with the appearance of another guest star.

After two years away, we are back, baby! We can't catch you up on all that we have done during our absence so we dive right back in. A few weeks ago, we went to Rhinebeck to go to the New York Sheep & Wool Festival. We met a few friends there, pet some sheep, and bought some wool. Many thanks to our friend, Chris, who adventured to New York with us, and to Nicole's kid, Adrian, who served as a producer on this episode!

Warning: The sound quality is a little off on this episode. I did my best to improve it, but could not get rid of that annoying little buzz that you might hear. Also, there is some significant toddler noise in the background. Hopefully, it is not too distracting!
