Toujours by Joji LocatelliAuditioning This Week
Not much mojo for auditions this week! Auditioned too many patterns before Stitches South. But, I am considering making a Hitofude Cardigan. I was inspired after trying one on at Stitches South and seeing Megan's on the Stockinette Zombie Video Podcast. If you haven't yet, check out Amy and Megan on that podcast.In the Wings: Stash Enhancement

My First Time
When did you become a real knitter? What project was your first tough lesson learning knitting project? Do you still have it? Did it work out? What did you learn in the process? Please go to the Ravelry Group and post about your first time. Let's remember how far we've come and encourage new knitters to try new things!
My First Time was the Pimlico Shrug
This looks so terrible on me that I don't even have any photos!

Wish I had chosen a more exciting yarn, but it's very lightweight and will be a great Spring Cowl. I haven't weaved in the ends yet, so I'll post my pictures as soon as I'm able.

Flubs and Flops
Let's not dwell on the links….Plus, there aren't any pictures. Who wants evidence??
But, I will link to the tutorials I used in these now defunct projects:
These aren't flubs, but the two yarn shops I mentioned that I like in Asheville, NC
Knitting News
I discussed skill levels based on this information on the Craft Yarn Council Website
What do you think of their levels? Are you interested in acquiring all the skills necessary to "graduate" to the next level? Go to the Ravelry group to discuss!

Come on!! You know you want to leave a review!
Shout out to Sarah and Kristi, cohorts of the In a sKnit (wish I’d
thought of that) video podcast, for mentioning me/the podcast in their “sKnit I
love” segment on their show!
This is a great video podcast, definitely check it out.
Show Ready:
Decided to frog the little I’d done on noble cowl
I do not
like to (can’t?) follow written instructions.
This yarn is a dream to knit with. So soft.
Finished all three repeats of the leaf pattern and I ran out
of yarn with 5.5 rows of seed stitch to go. I thought I could finish with one
skein but no such luck.
Blocked very aggressively, flat. Am considering blocking
with two bottles, heard about on the In a sKnit podcast.
In Rehearsals
The Never-Ending Boxy Sweater
Free pattern by Andrea Rangel
Swatching: I decided to do the right thing and wash my
swatch. Normally I don’t even bind off and I definitely don’t block it. But,
after some advice from Knit FM I decided if I want to be a real knitter I
needed to block it. Also, this is going to be a time consuming gift and if it
doesn’t fit it will suck!
Learned something about myself. The reason I don’t wash and
block swatches is b/c I am always swatching when I’m ready to start knitting.
The trick then, for me needs to be to swatch while I still have other projects
going so that I am never without a project.
Also in Rehearsal:
This is for the Spring Forward KAL I’m hosting! Come join the Ravelry Group for more Info!
Check out The Yarniacs Podcast if you haven't already.

My kind of people hold yarn up to their faces to see how
soft it is.

What a Crock:
Love it or leave it:
Love it: New Knitting group (can’tsay it enough)
Leave it: Knowing that no matter what I will never be able
to make my hair look as good as the stylist does
Theatre news:
Had a get together with a cast of Miss Firecracker: THIS
NEVER HAPPENS
Read a script (trying to decide whether to audition) called “The Smell of the Kill." It's a little bizarre. Would only
run for one weekend so it’s a nice compromise show. But. You still rehearse the
same amount of time, more or less.
