Ode to Joy-ous Show notes

I know I am a deliquent show note writer---but quite frankly, it's been a bit dramatic since Wendy, the bagels and I returned from the Cape. I'm going to keep these pretty brief, as I listened to the PODCAST on the way home and frankly can't remember everything Wendy and I gabbed about.

For those who care, my butt still really hurts.

Wendy, Mom and I visited the following yarn shops in our travels:

A Stitch Above--Providence, RI

Knitting Treasures (no website), 17 Court Street, Plymouth, MA 02620 508.747.2500

Blue Heron Yarn Studio--Barnstable, MA

The LadyBug Knitting Shop 612 Route 6A (Main Street) Dennis, Ma 508-385-2662

Adventures in Knitting--Harwichport, MA

and on the way home, we stopped by Knitting Central--in Westport, CT

Honestly, I can't/don't want to remember the name of the shop where I broke my ass...

We also visited with Susan from Lobster Port Yarns--see show notes episode 5 for links to shops that sell Susan's DELICIOUS yarns

Don't forget to join us for the Black Bunny Yarn HOP-A-LONG---hop on over to the side pane and click on the bunny hop button...

And soon to come, the MAUDE A LONG, from Courtney Kelly's Smith Island Pattern Works. I've finally seen the Maude in person-it is GORGEOUS and I can not wait to make it. In fact, I put five skeins of Koigu aside at Rosie's the other night.

Here's a shout out to Sherry---my head is fine after the zephyr cone incident...we can't wait for our presents.

Also coming soon, handmade, beaded stitch markers and Knitty D and the City notions bags. Wendy plans to open a Knitty D and the City Shop Blog; we have some inventory ready to go and can even take special orders (like the ones I made for Trish that say "Arthur--" which is her boyfriend's name or the one's that Wendy made for me that say, "Beagle").

Speaking of beagles!!!! Happy 8th Birthday to Miss Molly and Happy 2nd Birthday to Miss Maggie!!!!

I think I covered most of the good stuff...feel free to comment if I missed anything!

Peace, Love and Yarn

I don't remember which episode (10 or 11) Wendy mentioned this, but she said she was planning to knit something by Miriam Felton from her website. Which pattern was it again?

I believe Wendy is going to knit Adamus...you can also find it at Knitpicks.com

I know we are hoping to score an interview with the Mimknits maven herself! Stay tuned!

Kniity D, oh I almost forgot about the killer cone of Zephyr! I'm such a klutz, I felt so bad!!!

knittah-I know the yarn harlot was working on a Adamas shawl recently! I saw her picks in progress and O bought the pattern too. Perhaps in Zephyr? ;)

Koigu for Maude is KPPM: Yes there are many different kinds of Koigu; Kersti Merino Crepe, KPPM Solids and Multis and the newest we have seen, KFM (F= Felting!). There is also a koigu mohair (whic I scored YEARS ago at String in NYC) and a Koigu Buchle (which I also got at String) but I think they focus most of their time/dyeing on KPPM and Kersti...
Hope this Koigu tutorial was helpful

That was indeed me - I thought I heard someone call my name - but when I looked back, no one waved, and I thought, huh . . . must be another Wendy on the block.

I haven't been to Sophie's since they moved from Pine Street - it was nice to see that the store itself is lovely, and that they carry Cherry Tree Hill Sock Yarn - yum!

And Knittah, Adamas really isn't any easier to see when you actually get the pattern - but it's basically a repeating leaf motif that increases in a triangle.
Because I started Sarcelle, its now on my list of things to do!

Love your show. LOVE that Wendy found the Jesus (sorry Knitty D). Is there any place to download archives. I, shockingly, missed the first 4 episodes - Please don't judge me for finding you so late!
