Episode 86: Shorter than I thought





Saturday, December 22, 2012
There was knitting this week, but it seems that I didn't have much to show. The show was much shorter than I expected. I have 3 finished objects, but no WIPS to show progress on. I hope you also enjoy the short tutorial that I have included in this episode.

Episode 85 - Time for a Change









Saturday, December 15, 2012
Not too much knitting progress this week. I spent a good majority of the week spinning, and I have both a knitted finished object as well as a finished spinning project. I share information basic information about two new games I am playing along with a tip on Don't Starve. I also talk briefly about the new Craftsy app for the iPhone. I only show progress on one other finished object, not because that is the only one I worked on, but because there wasn't significant progress made on any other WIP. There is also a winner for the current Bar Maids coupon code. Enjoy!

Episode 83: Gamecentric








Saturday, December 1, 2012
There wasn't much knitting or spinning this week because I spent most of my week playing either Sims 3 or Don't Starve. I hope you enjoy my take on the Don't Starve game. Hopefully there will be more knitting next week. I did get some progress on my Knit Swirl, as well as Autumn Turning and Halyard.
