Sometimes, I take pictures of things...

Look, a podcast has finally happened! :-) January turned out to be a surprisingly tough month between settling in to life in Alabama and starting my new job. I’m feeling a lot better about my ability to handle things now so hopefully these will start coming a bit more frequently.  Links are in my profile to everywhere you can watch and if you are working on a project for the stripe-a-thon KAL don’t forget to tag it #stripeathonKAL so I can see!
Getting the year started with a new podcast! It’s a short one but I’d rather be recording shorter episodes more often than just not recording at all... Not a ton of new stuff if you were watching vlogmas but I do talk about our first KAL of 2019 so check that out if you want to join! Links to YouTube, my blog, and the Ravelry group are all in my profile. :-)
I talk more about this in my vlogmas today (link to YouTube in profile if you want), but I’m taking a bit of a different approach to #makenine2019... I want to knit down my stash and make room for new stuff to come in, so I picked 9 items from my stash and I am going to make an effort to use them in 2019, preferably earlier rather than later. I don’t have plans for all of them yet, but here’s what they are, going left to right starting on the top:

1: a bunch of 50g sock yarn skeins which will become short socks
2: Huntsville themed yarn - no project plan yet
3: orange hand-dyed sparkly sock yarn - probably going to be a hat
4: hand-dyed BFL sock yarn - no plan yet
5: hand-dyed BFL sock yarn - another Head Sock to be gifted away
6: 2x hand-dyed BFL sock yarn - knee socks!
7: 2x hand-dyed BFL sock yarn - more knee socks?
8: hand-dyed MCN - Northlights hat
9: hand-dyed gradient mini set - Viajante or some other similar cowl
Nope, no theme at all in my 2018 #topnine... it’s been a crazy year (in case you don’t watch my podcast, I just relocated to Alabama) but a good one for knitting. I’ve published 3 patterns, refined my skills for dyeing yarn, and really started to hone in on my knitwear aesthetic. Here’s to 2019!
