Episode 10 - The One with the Jazz Hands!

What’s on the needles -

Wonder Woman Vanilla Socks has a HO! – my own pattern. Yarn is Gnome acres House Gnome in Wonder Woman on US 1.5 2.5 mm Addi Turbos bought in GA.

Pointelle has a HO! – Pattern is from Cookie A’s Knit. Sock. Love book (I promise, last one!). Yarn from Lisa Souza Sock! Merino in Berry Poppin Colorway. Size US 1 (2.25 mm) Hiya Hiya Sharp needles.

Elizabeth Zimmerman’s Basic Pie Shawl – Pattern from The Knitter’s Almanac. Yarn from Abstract Fiber Matisse (100% SW BFL) in their Seattle colorway. Size US 2 (2.75 mm) Hiya Hiya Sharp needles. Debating if I should add a gray yarn from Ranch of the Oaks and a spirit in Silkie Socks that Rock.

What’s on the Nails – Vivid Lacquer (VL) I Deglaze with Wine and OPI I Don’t Know Jacques. Yes, I splurged. I blame the sleepy brain. I loved the application and the glitter amounts. I may have put too much on though.

Book talk – Literary Suspence/Thriller: Magaret Atwood’s The Blind Assassin - http://www.amazon.com/Blind-Assassin-Novel-Margaret-Atwood/dp/0385720955/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1368992758&sr=1-1&keywords=the+blind+assassin

John Le Carré’s The Constant Gardener - http://www.amazon.com/Constant-Gardener-Novel-John-Carre/dp/0743287207/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1368992849&sr=1-1&keywords=the+constant+gardener+by+john+le+carre

My wish List – For yarn: yarn vs. zombies! http://www.etsy.com/shop/yarnvszombies?ref=pr_faveshops

For nail polish: Urban Lacquer http://www.etsy.com/shop/urbanlacquer?ref=pr_faveshops

Etc etc etc – I performed at my local performance arts center and there is video. Will see if I can post it because it is on a iPad mini.

Episode 9 - The One with the Blubbering, Somber Penguin

What’s OFF the needles! The Wedge has a second heel!: (Cookie A Knit. Sock. Love. http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/wedge-2) in Little Red Bicycle Snowflake Sock colorway Cherry Blossom on size 1 ½ 2.5 mm Hiya Hiya Sharps. http://www.ravelry.com/projects/knitterlybooklady/wedge

What’s on the needles -

Wonder Woman Vanilla Socks got love, but is waiting for some measurements – my own pattern. Yarn is Gnome acres House Gnome in Wonder Woman on US 1.5 2.5 mm Addi Turbos bought in GA.

Pointelle – Pattern is from Cookie A’s Knit. Sock. Love book (I promise, last one!). Yarn from Lisa Souza Sock! Merino in Berry Poppin Colorway. Size US 1 (2.25 mm) Hiya Hiya Sharp needles.

What’s on the Nails – OPI Stay the Night Liquid Sand. Definitely top coat thirsty. Not digging the texture thing.

I also did my own galaxy/star manicure with OPI Black Onyx, Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Black and Blue, Julep Camille, and Julep Candy.

Book talk – None for this week because there is a lack of inspiration there.

My wish List – For nail polish: Enchanted Polish - http://shop.llarowe.com/collections/enchanted-polish

For yarn: Biscotte & Cie Felix (Self-striping) http://www.theloopyewe.com/shop/g/yarn/biscotte-cie/

Etc etc etc – Knitters and TFIMP’ers are the best: Sally Hanson Complete Salon Manicure in Mermaid’s Tale, Zoya Envy, and Barielle Shades in Decadence. More swatching in my future!

Thank you for your patience with me while I go and take care of unexpected things. Hopefully I will be back to my normal recording schedule.
