Video Episode 8: Secrets are No Good for Podcasting

WIPS
- Secret Knitting #1
- Secret Knitting #2
- Angostura - no love this week. Hoping to get to it later this week. Needs to be done by 6/27 & a pic posted by 6/29 to be eligible for Camp Loopy.
- TKGASS May/June - have until the 20th to ship this out! Freaked out and thought it was the 10th. Not late! Yay! :)


FOs
Nothing for me, but don’t forget to post pictures of YOUR finished objects in the FOs for June thread in the Ravelry group! You’ll be entered to win a skein of Fiesta Yarns Baby Boom in Spring Chill colorway!


COMING SOON
- Color Affection - I really want to start this, but I need to finish the sample/test knit and my afghan square first.
- Camp Loopy Project #2. Thin Ice in Tempted Yarns Good Grrl in Emergency. Because Thin Ice is a popular pattern this round Laura posted on plurk that she’s offering 15% off all of her patterns until June 23rd with the code camploopyrocks.  Order your yarn from The Loopy Ewe through June 17 to get 20% off the yarn for your next Camp Loopy Project.  6/27-7/27


SPINNING
- So, I pulled out the drop spindle and started messing around with it, and I think it finally clicked! I still have a little bit of a rough time when I first get started, but then I’m back in business. My spindle comes from Highland Handmades, and the fiber I’m currently spinning is GnomeAcres 100% Corriedale in Polyjuice Potion. The next fiber on my spindle will be one of the braids I bought from HH right after I got my spindle... not sure which one yet.


SHOUT OUTS
- Special thank you to Dawn from Wolfe Farms for spinning my Loop batt! :D You better take it easy on your ankle, though!
- Squee! I was mentioned on The Fat Squirrel’s latest episode! Amy Beth, you should definitely knit Goodale!
- Yay! I won! Check out the hotpinksocks Reviews blog. Stephanie reviews yarn and other knittng paraphenalia, and then she gives something away! I won a skein of Wandering Wool sock yarn in the Cranberry Bog colorway
- Snappy Stitches with Chrissy, host of the former Manic Purl podcast.
- Kids’ corner - Hi, Jakey, Sean & Claire! :)
