Episode 107: The Stockings Were Hung

by Brenda Dayne on December 16, 2011

In this episode:
Baby, it’s cold outside. With a week to go it’s time for some serious, purposeful, no messing around, get-it-done knitting. On the needles or in the queue this week:

    Osmena by Jenn Jarvis, knit in Estelle fingering weight cashmere merino, from Space Cadet Creations in colourway “Candy Apple”. 

    Windschief, by Steven West, in Rowan Pure Wool Aran in “Praline”.
     
    The name of the pattern by Ann Hanson is actually Leafprints, not the unattractively named “leaf spot” as I mistakenly called it. I’m knitting the mitts in Wired for Fibre in “Lava”. Sadly, the web address on the ball band no longer works. But trust me. It’s pretty. 

    For toddler, Julian… socks? Or Ellie? Help me out here.

Massive thanks to Huw Jones, and Margaret, from Corgi.

This week’s Audible.com Favourite at Casa del Cast On is A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens, read by Mr Curry, for whom the English language has not enough superlatives with which to describe.

I do the Facebooks. Also the g+ and, of course, I’m still doing the twitter. Come find me!

Music by Daniel Link with Chelle MurrayBaby, It’s Cold Outside. Production music by Jeff Wahl, Linus and Lucy, from the CD Guinevere
