Twisted Strands Episode 118: The three R's of knitting and crochet

Welcome to Episode 118!

New Victims:
Fiber Addiction, special colorway Louix, plans to make a greta cat by R. Danger
Mother Frogging Yarns, Boo Frog self striping
Knitters Nightmare, Sugar Skull in Batty sock

Works in Progress:

Textured Acorn Beanie by WeasieWorks test knit, dk weight mystery yarn that I swapped for, will be donated to Emily's hats for Hope. Going to pick it up again as the Lovely Weasieworks has redone pattern to make it clearer and I want to give feedback.
Brighton Sock by Rhian Drinkwater in Out of Step Dyeworks Mutilated colorway.

Curse-breaker 9.0 by Michele DuNaier is out of hibernation

Dead and gone (or FO's)
Nothin!

In the crystal ball, I see myself starting the Boo Knit's Morticia Mystery KAL Shawl.

Stuff and Junk

I really enjoyed the first episode of Sleepy Hollow and will continue to watch. Still watching the Supernatural Series and Dr. Who.
While working on the Acorn beanie, at least the easy bits, watched part of the Friday the 13th marathon on Syfy on Sunday.

The Halloween stitch along is where you can knit, crochet, weave, or cross stitch something Halloween related. There are 2 threads in the group, which you need to be a member of, one for chatter and inspiration, and the other for FO's.



I have a donate button on the blog, too, if you’d like to tip me.

Perfume is a very tense period movie, starring Alan Rickman and Dustin Hoffman. It takes place in a fictional 18th Century Paris. I haven't read the book and now I want to! 4 skeins.
I've taken down the thread for the Skull shawl Crochet along. Since no one posted pictures or anything, and I finished mine, I closed it. But, if you're still working on yours, feel free to enter it into the Halloween Stitch Along.
