Vanilla Socks
No pattern on this one, just cast on 32 stitches using Judy's Magic Cast On, did the increases until I had 64, and started knitting away. Great travel project, until I get to the heel, of course. As a still relatively new sock knitter, I don't have the heels down by memory yet. What's your favorite toe-up heel?

Any suggestions for campfire knitting?
I am plugging along on this, but it's become a mostly at home project since I am alternating skeins and that's a lot of yarn to carry in your purse (though I've done it before!) I have linked to my project, which is still in the very beginning stages, but please check out the design as well.

Looking for a fun washcloth pattern to do for my mom, grandmother and aunts for Mother's Day.

PALKAL 2015
Podcast-a-long Knit-a-long
This will run June 1 to September 1 and you are welcome to double dip in any other KAL you are doing (Stash Dash with the Knit Girllls? Or the Around the Neck KAL with Suburban Stitcher?)
The basic idea is to support a podcaster you listen to or watch by knitting one of their patterns and/or using their yarns for your project.
The design, yarn or fiber must be from a knitting/crochet/fiber podcaster. (Not all 3, just one of those to qualify)
You can use of the suggested podcasters on the chatter thread, but you are not limited to that list. If the designer or yarn dyer is a podcaster, it qualifies.
Have fun supporting a podcaster designer or yarnie!
Use the tag PALKAL2015 on your project pages, and on Instagram (if you use that service) as well (#palkal2015).
Stay tuned to Episode 31 for some coupon codes from some of your favorite podcasters!
Knitting Talk Back
This is a trick because I don't have a talk-back topic today! Please go to the thread in the Ravelry group and post a question you'd like me to answer on the podcast in the "What Would You Like to Hear About?" thread.

I finished reading (listening) to The Rosie Effect by Graeme Simsion
I liked it, but not as much as the first book.
Currently reading The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins, because everyone else already has!
