Keep Calm And Carry Yarn: A Knitting And Crochet Podcast

Slow and steady, right? We both have the exact same WIPs as last episode (and no FOs). But we're full of chat about a LYS in Maine and some fun woolly facts from Alyson's new book club segment.  Quiz: https://bzfd.it/32LKtca Bubbly Brioche: https://bit.ly/35IRGvx Cœur battant sweater: https://bit.ly/2LHNAfx Mother of Purl: https://bit.ly/2qJYSrz This Golden Fleece: https://amzn.to/2PcuSPb INSTAGRAM: https://instagram.com/kcacypodcast ETSY: http://pearlandplum.etsy.com WEBSITE: http://kcacypodcast.wordpress.com RAVELRY: http://bit.ly/2mirMdK Buy us a coffee: http://ko-fi.com/kcacypodcast Theme music: Carpe Diem Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License https://bit.ly/1b8Hyff

It's Christmas in September! Both Alyson and Vivian are working on Christmas themed WIPs, but one is going to be finished by Christmas and one definitely won't be. They are also both hard at work on their own sweaters, coincidentally, both in blue. Plus Vivian even has a totally new FO.  --------- Quiz: https://bzfd.it/2ksGBMi Triangle stocking: https://bit.ly/2kiVtwZ East Coast Girl: https://bit.ly/2mmdvPl Cœur battant sweater: https://bit.ly/2LHNAfx C2C Christmas Graphgan: https://bit.ly/2PKqaFB Chevron Baby Blanket: https://bit.ly/2kY5i3t --------- INSTAGRAM: https://instagram.com/kcacypodcast ETSY: http://pearlandplum.etsy.com WEBSITE: http://kcacypodcast.wordpress.com RAVELRY: http://bit.ly/2mirMdK Buy us a coffee: http://ko-fi.com/kcacypodcast --------- Theme music: Carpe Diem Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License https://bit.ly/1b8Hyff

Goodbye summer, hello September! We've both had busy Augusts, Vivian with her move to Virginia and Alyson with the Edinburgh Fringe. But we've also managed to do a bit of crafting. Alyson is still chugging away at her Tunisian crochet sweater, as well as something we'll term "miscellaneous." And Vivian isn't quite so done with her Sagitta shawl as she thought she would be. ------------------------- Quiz: https://bzfd.it/2lC2xVL Cœur battant sweater: https://bit.ly/2LHNAfx Sagitta shawl: https://bit.ly/2KyxNPH Triangle stocking: https://bit.ly/2kiVtwZ INSTAGRAM: https://instagram.com/kcacypodcast ETSY: http://pearlandplum.etsy.com WEBSITE: http://kcacypodcast.wordpress.com RAVELRY: http://bit.ly/2mirMdK  Buy us a coffee: http://ko-fi.com/kcacypodcast Theme music: Carpe Diem Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License https://bit.ly/1b8Hyff

This is Alyson's month for projects! She has three finished objects to share, including her beautiful Luteola stole and a pair of nålebinding (knotless knitting) mittens. If you've never heard of nålebinding, definitely have a listen; it's so interesting! Plus Alyson is chatting about the yarn shops of Oslo (featuring really bad Norwegian pronunciations). Big news from Vivian: she's moving to Virginia! Less big news from Vivian: she made a trip to New York City. ------------------------- Quiz: https://bzfd.it/2Z4dIso Sagitta shawl: https://bit.ly/2KyxNPH Cœur battant sweater: https://bit.ly/2LHNAfx Luteola stole: https://bit.ly/2t7CJRQ Nålebinding resource: https://bit.ly/2Nb17gm INSTAGRAM: https://instagram.com/kcacypodcast ETSY: http://pearlandplum.etsy.com WEBSITE: http://kcacypodcast.wordpress.com RAVELRY: http://bit.ly/2mirMdK Theme music: Carpe Diem Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License https://bit.ly/1b8Hyff

Third time is the charm and we've got a great Episode 46 for you all! Vivian has started her CoopKnits sock which should really be called her 2019 EYF socks, although who would we be if there weren't some initial kinks to iron out first? And she has a big FO to share!! And Alyson is all FOs today: two totally new projects and one returnee to the show. Plus, for our Marvel fans, we're going to be talking your ear off at the end of the episode, so stay tuned if that's your jam!

We're kicking off the Colorwork KCAL! Mostly by talking about what we're planning on making: sheep mittens for Vivian and a cowl for Alyson. But of course, Vivian's WIPs involve colorwork anyway.

It's a big WIP day for Alyson because she's loading up projects to take on holiday. Not to mention, there's a glorious FO for Alyson too.

New year, new episode! But before we get on with all the new projects to come in 2019, we're reflecting back on all that we accomplished in 2018. Neither of us are professional crafters, but we've finished an impressive number of projects, if we do say so ourselves. And if we didn't prove it before, Vivian is indeed the Queen of Hats, as shown by the eleven hats she's made this past year!
