Auditioning Knits


Check out her Authentic Collection, some really great patterns there! 

I've had these in my favorites for almost 7 years! 



Knitting News, Notes and Events


No true events happening right now, but head on over to the Ravelry group to check out all of the goings-on over there! There are lots of active threads and I'd love for you to join in the fun! 

Knitting Talkback


This episode will finish up our series on Ravelry tips and tricks. I've enjoyed the series and I hope you have as well. Today we will discuss the Forums and Groups tabs, as well as talk a little about your profile page. 

Non-Knitting Segments


Love it or Leave it


Love it: Got some crafty goodness for my birthday, including a Strauch Ball Winder and sewing lessons! 


Leave it: I have eaten entirely too much junk food this week! Need to get back on a healthy eating track ASAP. 

Other News and Notes


Running News: 
Hopefully by the time this episode is published I will have completed my 2nd 1/2 marathon! Check out my Instagram to see some pics! 

Birthday Notes:
I had a lovely birthday, thank you to those who sent a message! I got the Strauch Ball Winder as I said before, and also sewing lessons and this really cute set of Bundt Cakes. Check out the Instagram to see more pics! 

My craft room is almost completely finished! It's coming together more and more each week. 

Books
I finished Book 8 in the Rhys Bowen series called Her Royal Spyness. I accidentally skipped this one and read book 9 first!

I'm currently reading Just Like Heaven by Julia Quinn. It's silly and fun, that's just where I am lately with my books!

The Serial Podcast is back! This season is shaping up to be just as exciting as the first!
