1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,280
I'm Drea.

2
00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:02,280
I'm Meg.

3
00:00:02,280 --> 00:00:03,280
I'm Tina.

4
00:00:03,280 --> 00:00:04,600
And I'm Jess.

5
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:14,220
And this is Pardon My Stash.

6
00:00:14,220 --> 00:00:20,720
Welcome to Pardon My Stash, a podcast about creating fiber arts and how awesome it is.

7
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,920
Before we dive in tonight, let's talk about what we're working on Dreya.

8
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,440
Jenica Hat.

9
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:27,440
You were prepared.

10
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:28,440
Wow.

11
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:30,440
That's all you get.

12
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:31,440
Who was that?

13
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:35,240
We would like to introduce you to Steve, part of our new soundboard.

14
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:36,240
Yeah.

15
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:41,040
So we have a live studio audience of Steve and he has lots of fun reactions.

16
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:42,280
Wow.

17
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,840
We've decided to name him Steve.

18
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:46,840
Yeah.

19
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,000
I feel like he fits with us.

20
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,000
Yeah.

21
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:56,080
While I was waiting for a magazine to come in, I think I talked about it last time.

22
00:00:56,080 --> 00:01:03,680
I was waiting for a magazine to come in so I could start a shawl, not a shawl, a shrug

23
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,800
pattern.

24
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,020
It was just taking too long and I needed something to do.

25
00:01:09,020 --> 00:01:18,760
So I decided to cast on a hat and I'm making the Jenica Hat by Jen Emerson again.

26
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:19,760
Second round.

27
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:20,760
Second round.

28
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,760
That's like an honor for a pattern when you make it twice.

29
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:23,760
Yeah.

30
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:24,760
Especially me.

31
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:26,640
I mean, this is great.

32
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:27,640
I love this pattern.

33
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:28,640
It's a pretty hat.

34
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:29,640
It is.

35
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:30,640
It's got cables.

36
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,360
It's got good stuff.

37
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,720
It goes really fast.

38
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:35,960
I'm really happy with it.

39
00:01:35,960 --> 00:01:40,720
I am using Earl Grey Fiber Co.

40
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,800
Oolong DK in Rose Gold.

41
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:52,480
The first Jenica hat that I made, I used the same yarn but in, I think it was called Bisque.

42
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:53,480
It was like an oatmeal kind of color.

43
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,480
I think I remember Bisque.

44
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:57,480
Yeah.

45
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:58,840
Now they're gone now, right?

46
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:00,880
They're no longer in business.

47
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:02,560
They had some gorgeous, gorgeous yarn.

48
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,840
I think, I wouldn't say that they retired.

49
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:05,840
Yeah.

50
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,040
I mean, good for them but sad for the rest of us.

51
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:15,560
I am so sad because if I could get like 10 more skeins of Oolong DK, I don't even care

52
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:16,560
what color it is.

53
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,560
I just really love the yarn itself.

54
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,920
It knits up super squishy.

55
00:02:22,920 --> 00:02:24,440
It's really fun to work with.

56
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,480
It looks good and it's gone forever.

57
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:33,080
I know, isn't it so sad?

58
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:34,080
Yeah.

59
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,200
I'm here to provide sound effects, people.

60
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,760
I didn't realize that I was missing that kind of sound effect in my life.

61
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,880
If you can tell me where that sound effect is, I might send you something.

62
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:43,880
Just let me know.

63
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:44,880
Send me a DM.

64
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:49,560
Tina, what are you working on?

65
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:57,600
I am working on the slip on your shoulder test knit for Blame the Knot.

66
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,480
I've gotten pretty far.

67
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:06,840
There was a lot of piecework with this, meaning you'd had to break the yarn, do that section,

68
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:13,560
break the yarn, do that section, which sounds slightly aggravating, especially for me.

69
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:18,200
I like to do a seamless, just keep going type of sweater.

70
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:25,200
I think there is a positive to this, which is because everything is so pieced out, every

71
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:32,000
time I would finish a piece, it gave me that, oh, I finished something feeling.

72
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:38,520
It's made me not tire of the project because I'm like, oh, wait, I'm almost done with this

73
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:39,520
section.

74
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:40,520
There's an end.

75
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:41,520
I love that.

76
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:42,520
Yeah.

77
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,240
I'm enjoying it.

78
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,360
I'm using Critical Hit Dyes.

79
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:47,360
Wait.

80
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:48,360
Hold on.

81
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:49,360
Druid?

82
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:50,360
Yep.

83
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:51,360
Yeah.

84
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:52,360
Okay.

85
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:58,480
I'm using Critical Hit Dyes, Druid DK in the colorways Tequila Sunrise and Thunderwave.

86
00:03:58,480 --> 00:03:59,480
It's coming out great.

87
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:00,480
It really is.

88
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:01,480
So pretty.

89
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:02,480
Thank you.

90
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:06,800
Meg helped me make a decision earlier tonight.

91
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:12,840
I think instead of striping this the way I was going to, I'm just going to fade the Tequila

92
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,760
Sunrise into the Thunderwave and just leave it Thunderwave.

93
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:17,520
So it'll be the blue at the bottom.

94
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,160
It'll look like a nice marl going down.

95
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:21,160
It's going to look really good.

96
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,360
It's going to look like the ocean in a sunset.

97
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:24,840
Oh, it really is too.

98
00:04:24,840 --> 00:04:25,840
Yeah.

99
00:04:25,840 --> 00:04:28,200
I cannot wait to see how that comes out.

100
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:29,200
Thank you.

101
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,600
All right, Jess, what you got?

102
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,320
I'm kind of between projects.

103
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:39,480
So I decided that I'm going to start a big project that may or may not get done because

104
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,480
it is a blanket.

105
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:42,480
Oh.

106
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,480
Thank you, Steve.

107
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:46,480
Thanks.

108
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:54,040
It's Nimue by Shelley Husband.

109
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:59,320
And right now, because I have a whole color thing that I got to figure out what I want

110
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:00,320
to do for it.

111
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,120
But right now I got to figure out what weight I want to make this thing in.

112
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:11,440
So I'm trying to do part of the granny square section in different weights to see how big

113
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:12,440
it's going to be.

114
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,240
I just want to interject here.

115
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,560
Yeah, Jess is swatching.

116
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:18,560
Kind of.

117
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,120
Oh, because here's the thing.

118
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,160
It's like this is what size it should be.

119
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:28,340
And I'm just doing it so I could be like, what size is it going to be?

120
00:05:28,340 --> 00:05:33,520
Because I'm going to pick one of these three sizes and go with it.

121
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,120
So yeah, so that's I have.

122
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:40,720
Well, I ran out of yarn for my worsted weight one, but that's OK.

123
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,560
I would have had two rows left, so that's going to be pretty big.

124
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,880
Right now I'm doing a fingering weight and then I have a decay.

125
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:52,600
And right now they're all just random spares of assorted critical hit dies that I had lying

126
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,980
around from some of my many other projects.

127
00:05:55,980 --> 00:05:59,320
So we are we are kind of swatching right now.

128
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:00,320
I mean, I give you credit.

129
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,480
If I were making a blanket and I saw the size of that first swatch you finished, I'd be

130
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:04,680
like, not done.

131
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:05,680
It's going to be this one.

132
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,420
Yeah, but I'm not going to waste my time doing a fingering swatch when I could easily make

133
00:06:09,420 --> 00:06:10,420
a bigger blanket.

134
00:06:10,420 --> 00:06:13,760
It's easier for me to get minis and fingering weight, and if I want to dye certain colors

135
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,080
for smaller sections, that's easier to do than that.

136
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,540
Then do, you know, measuring out full skeins.

137
00:06:20,540 --> 00:06:27,760
So also, I'm relearning how to read crochet charts because it's been a hot minute and

138
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:34,600
I forgot how on top of each other all these lines.

139
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,620
I don't know how you do that.

140
00:06:36,620 --> 00:06:41,000
So I'm working on that and relearning some of the more complicated crochet terms because

141
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:45,080
it's also been a hot minute since I've seen these.

142
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:50,640
Yeah, these symbols and and I'm trying to read the written part, too.

143
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:55,120
And I'm like, yeah, I just don't remember what what that symbol or letter is.

144
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:56,840
So we're gonna have to look that up, too.

145
00:06:56,840 --> 00:06:58,640
It's gonna be like riding a bike.

146
00:06:58,640 --> 00:06:59,640
I know.

147
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,040
Well, yeah, I just looked at it.

148
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:02,640
I was like, oh, yeah, cluster stitch.

149
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,960
I do know how to do that.

150
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:07,360
It's like riding a bike.

151
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:13,240
OK, but who among us does not have to check what make one or make one L is every time

152
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:14,240
they do a project?

153
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:15,560
I used to have a little.

154
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:16,560
No, I don't have to.

155
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:17,560
Oh, do you don't?

156
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:18,560
I do every time.

157
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:22,240
I've officially gotten to the point every time I tell you my give yourself some applause.

158
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:23,240
Can I give you a trick, though?

159
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:24,240
I applaud.

160
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:25,240
Fine.

161
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:31,720
So for me, I say the right is always in front because it's right.

162
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,720
Oh, so I like that.

163
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:34,720
I'm going to try.

164
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:35,720
I'm going to go in the back.

165
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:36,720
That's what I do, too.

166
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:37,720
And I'm like, yeah.

167
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,520
And then I'm like, but is it though?

168
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,760
And then I can't because I don't trust myself.

169
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,720
And I'm like, yeah, I was right.

170
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,120
I had to look up how to cast on when I did this.

171
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,960
Yes, I couldn't remember.

172
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:52,960
Thank you.

173
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:54,960
It was a provisional cast on.

174
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,240
You're like, I've never done a provisional cast on before.

175
00:07:58,240 --> 00:07:59,840
It was a long tail cast on.

176
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:00,840
What the heck is that?

177
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:02,400
I've never used to.

178
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:03,760
But it had been a while.

179
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,840
I was trying to cast on with the yarn in the wrong hand.

180
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:07,840
Oh, yeah.

181
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,200
I have done that, too, though.

182
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,160
You wanted to be left handed for that.

183
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,480
I don't know what it is.

184
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,520
Because your last two projects, you did what?

185
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,720
A tab cast on?

186
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:19,720
Yeah.

187
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:20,720
Yeah.

188
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,640
So it's been a while since the long tail.

189
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:24,640
It's been a while.

190
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:25,640
Great.

191
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:26,640
And not so great about this.

192
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:27,640
This pattern book is actually good.

193
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:28,760
There's a lot in it.

194
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,160
I just went for the whole book because why not?

195
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,320
There's not much of a money difference.

196
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:38,040
But they have written instructions and graph instructions.

197
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,320
They have pictures of how to do some of the tougher parts.

198
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:46,960
And they also have a section where they switch the graphs over for left handed knitters or

199
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,280
crocheters.

200
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:49,280
That's nice.

201
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:50,280
Which is cool.

202
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:51,280
Wow.

203
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:56,360
But I'm looking at the chart being like, why doesn't this make sense?

204
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,040
And I'm like, because.

205
00:08:58,040 --> 00:08:59,040
You were looking at the left handed one.

206
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:00,040
I was.

207
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:05,040
It made somewhat sense because I originally learned left handed from my mom and then I

208
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:06,400
couldn't get it really well.

209
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,920
So I relearned from my right handed grandma.

210
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,160
So I'm like, this makes sense, but it doesn't.

211
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:17,280
And then I'm like, oh, because it makes sense, but it doesn't.

212
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:18,280
Yeah.

213
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:19,280
But yeah.

214
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:23,520
So if you are a left handed crocheter, this pattern and want something that's, you know,

215
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,520
interestingly complicated.

216
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:26,520
This is fun pattern.

217
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,600
It's got charts for you if you want to read charts, because I'm looking at this like,

218
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,520
I remember why I stopped reading crochet charts.

219
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:37,200
Meg, what are you doing?

220
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:43,800
So I have decided to temporarily embrace a total project monogamy.

221
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,040
This is not easy for me.

222
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:46,040
Wow.

223
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:47,040
So excited for you.

224
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:48,040
Are you really?

225
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:49,040
I am not excited.

226
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:50,840
Welcome to my world.

227
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:52,440
It's nice here, though.

228
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,120
I want this to be done so bad.

229
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,440
But you always know what you're going to be working on.

230
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:57,440
Yeah.

231
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:58,440
It's great.

232
00:09:58,440 --> 00:09:59,840
No surprises.

233
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:00,840
Hold on.

234
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:05,240
I'm not going to lie.

235
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:09,360
Like this, if I'm going to get stuck with a project temporarily, this is the one I do

236
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:10,360
love.

237
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,040
I'm still working on ocean stones.

238
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,560
I am literally after I'm one.

239
00:10:14,560 --> 00:10:21,680
I'm on the last row of this section and I have two regular size sections and the border

240
00:10:21,680 --> 00:10:22,680
and it's done.

241
00:10:22,680 --> 00:10:25,360
Oh, you're so I'm really close, which is why I'm like, you know what?

242
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:29,120
I'm not looking at any exciting patterns.

243
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:30,120
I am not.

244
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:31,120
That's a lie.

245
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:32,120
I am.

246
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:33,120
I was going to say, but I'm not.

247
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,200
I made Jess dye me up a whole bunch of yarn the other day for what I'm going to cast on

248
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:37,200
when this is done.

249
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:38,200
It's nice.

250
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,520
But I am like, I am not.

251
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,100
I would love to have this done by Reinbeck.

252
00:10:42,100 --> 00:10:46,960
I'm not going to wear it to Reinbeck, but I just want to have it done.

253
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:48,040
I love this shawl.

254
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,040
I think it's going to be beautiful when it's done.

255
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,080
It's just you want it to be done.

256
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,880
You get to work on it and it's so exciting because you're almost done.

257
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:02,040
I'm very close, but I have that feeling that I got to when I was doing the second round

258
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:10,400
of more simple lines where I'm like, oh, my God, what is it going to be?

259
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:11,400
I'm not going to lie.

260
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,640
I was thinking about doing another simple line.

261
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:17,560
You know, every so often I think about doing another one, too, because that is a great

262
00:11:17,560 --> 00:11:18,560
pattern.

263
00:11:18,560 --> 00:11:21,480
But then I'm like, I have done this twice.

264
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:22,720
I've done this twice.

265
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:23,960
I don't need another one.

266
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,000
I barely wear the one I have.

267
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:33,040
I was actually considering remaking the simple lines and the orchard house shawl because

268
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,000
the simple lines I have has a glaring mistake in the border.

269
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,680
I know it's there because I gave up on life and I just kept going.

270
00:11:39,680 --> 00:11:41,680
But yeah, that point you've committed.

271
00:11:41,680 --> 00:11:44,840
Yeah, but I can't like I'm like, no, I can do better than this.

272
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:45,920
Do it.

273
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:46,920
It's a good pattern.

274
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:47,920
It goes fast.

275
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:49,320
Plus the cast off I did on mine makes it curl.

276
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,320
Like it's just it's just it's.

277
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,400
You know what, it's when you when you know better, you do it better.

278
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:58,760
You know, so but I'm still working on Ocean Stones by Greta Menzen.

279
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:06,680
I am doing it and Fiberspace vivacious decay in the colorway heavenly, which I still love.

280
00:12:06,680 --> 00:12:09,800
And I'm super excited to be almost done with it.

281
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:15,320
And I'm still carrying my I'm now onto my third skein on my trusty mini minder from

282
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:21,360
Jimmy Beans Wool that I still get questions about when I take it to my daughter's gymnastics

283
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,800
class to like, what is that thing hanging on your arm?

284
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,600
Well, I always get asked what I'm doing anyway.

285
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,200
Normally from like grandmas that are there.

286
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:29,720
Like, what are you knitting?

287
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:33,240
And I tell them and then they're like, what is the thing on your wrist?

288
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:34,240
And I'm like, it's awesome.

289
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:35,240
Game changer.

290
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,400
It's it is a game changer.

291
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,520
So that's where I'm at.

292
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:44,600
And I'm really hoping by the next time we record, I'll be done with this.

293
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,200
But I don't know.

294
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:47,200
That's two weeks away.

295
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:48,200
Oh, you got.

296
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:49,200
I don't know if I believe in me.

297
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:50,200
I do.

298
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,200
I believe for both of us.

299
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:53,200
You got this.

300
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:54,200
Thank you.

301
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:55,200
Do it.

302
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,200
Oh, thank you, Steve.

303
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,120
That was nice.

304
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:06,520
Be sure to check out our website, PardonMyStash.com for pictures, patterns and yarns.

305
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:11,720
And be sure to check out our sponsor, Jimmy Beans Wool at JimmyBeansWool.com for the mini

306
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:17,680
binder and other assorted goodies.

307
00:13:17,680 --> 00:13:18,680
All right, y'all.

308
00:13:18,680 --> 00:13:19,680
It's that time of year again.

309
00:13:19,680 --> 00:13:20,680
What are we doing?

310
00:13:20,680 --> 00:13:21,680
Who's ready?

311
00:13:21,680 --> 00:13:22,680
I don't know.

312
00:13:22,680 --> 00:13:23,680
What is it?

313
00:13:23,680 --> 00:13:24,680
What do we need to be ready for?

314
00:13:24,680 --> 00:13:25,680
Are you guys kidding me?

315
00:13:25,680 --> 00:13:26,880
No, it's in literally two weeks.

316
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:27,880
Oh, no.

317
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:28,880
What's happening?

318
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:29,880
Well, it's something due.

319
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:30,880
Guys, we're going to Ryan Beck.

320
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:31,880
Oh, man, I forgot.

321
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:32,880
Oh, and this year is a special one.

322
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:44,080
It is a special.

323
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:45,080
We're going on Saturday.

324
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:49,080
We will be going on Saturday.

325
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,080
This will be a first in a very long time.

326
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:56,640
Pardon My Stash will be at Ryan Beck on Saturday instead of Sunday.

327
00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:00,740
If you want to come and hang out with us for a while, we are going to be on the grassy

328
00:14:00,740 --> 00:14:06,920
knoll outside Gate one or inside Gate one, I should say, since we will be in the actual

329
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:07,920
festival.

330
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:08,920
Don't leave the festival.

331
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:09,920
Don't leave.

332
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:13,800
Don't leave after you come in from two to two thirty.

333
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:14,960
If you want to come hang out with us.

334
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,040
We had a great group of people come out last year.

335
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:21,000
It was awesome for us to meet every single one of you.

336
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:22,080
We got some great pictures.

337
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,620
We had some good laughs.

338
00:14:24,620 --> 00:14:27,040
So we hope that you'll come out again to meet us.

339
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,080
I might bring some stuff with me.

340
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,120
Oh, I am definitely bringing some things with me.

341
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:33,120
And we might as well.

342
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:34,120
Jess and I.

343
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:39,040
So I might be slipping some people some stuff on the DL.

344
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:40,040
It will not be really.

345
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,920
You really got to say it that way, don't you?

346
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,000
Really got to say it that way.

347
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,280
None of this will be illegal substances.

348
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:48,280
Dear God.

349
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,920
I would never do that.

350
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:55,720
But please do come out and see us if you are going to be there on Saturday.

351
00:14:55,720 --> 00:15:00,280
But as tradition every year, we do a road to Reinbeck episode and this is going to be

352
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,280
our road to Reinbeck 2024.

353
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,280
Yeah.

354
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,320
Yeah.

355
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,120
It has been a ride getting here.

356
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:14,360
So I know.

357
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:20,000
I remember the first time I saw like Reinbeck, like other knitters talk about it and it just

358
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:21,720
looks so darn cool.

359
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,800
Like I'd never been to a Sheep and Wool Festival before.

360
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:26,480
And I really wanted to go.

361
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,160
And again, like thinking New York is so far away.

362
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:30,320
It's really not for us.

363
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:35,680
We're very, very fortunate and we only live a couple of hours away.

364
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,400
But we've been going for a while now.

365
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:46,960
So what are folks looking forward to this Reinbeck 2024?

366
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:48,360
I have a mission.

367
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:49,360
A mission.

368
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:50,360
Yes.

369
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:51,420
What are you looking for?

370
00:15:51,420 --> 00:15:56,120
So my sister-in-law is going to tie the knot.

371
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:57,120
So excited.

372
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,680
I'm very excited for her.

373
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,480
She has been with her partner for a very long time.

374
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,800
Actually, I kind of already like that.

375
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:06,800
That is my brother-in-law.

376
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:08,800
I don't think anything of it.

377
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:10,920
It's been as such as just being official.

378
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:11,920
Yeah.

379
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:12,920
Yeah.

380
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:13,920
We're just making it official.

381
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:14,920
Yeah.

382
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:18,160
So I have until April.

383
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:25,640
I already talked to her about it and I'm going to make her a wedding shawl wrap type of thing.

384
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,320
She does live in Florida.

385
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:31,440
So I need something that has like literally no wool in it.

386
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:35,600
It has to be like super, super light and not warm at all.

387
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:41,640
So I need like a cotton, a linen, and ideally something with like a silk blend.

388
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:46,440
Jess found the pattern for me and it is pretty A plus.

389
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:55,800
I really wanted to be special and unfortunately, Jess picked the pattern and then she did not

390
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,840
realize that it had 2000 plus beads.

391
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,720
They're optional but I feel like they did.

392
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:02,720
She did.

393
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:03,720
Damn.

394
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:04,720
It's time to branch out, Tina.

395
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:05,720
Learn a new skill.

396
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:11,240
Okay, but to be fair, most of them come in like two to three gram bottles and that's

397
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,680
usually anywhere from three to 500 beads depending on the size.

398
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:15,680
So it's not.

399
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,720
It's not that bad to get to.

400
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:25,520
The pattern is called Beach Daydreams by Allison Scandale and it's gorgeous and I'm going to

401
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,640
do it all in like an ivory type of base.

402
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:32,160
I'm not going to do any kind of color or color beads but I don't want it to be pure white

403
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,440
either because I feel like it'll look too sterile.

404
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:40,240
So I'm going to do some kind of ivory and again, silk blend with like cotton or linen

405
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:48,880
or something just to keep it easy breezy so she can actually use it in Florida.

406
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:53,040
I remember opening the PDF and if I open it right now, I'm going to tell you right now,

407
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:56,240
it says, I'm going to tell you how many beads.

408
00:17:56,240 --> 00:18:05,800
Here, it says 1,925 to 2,640 seed beads.

409
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:06,800
Neat.

410
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:07,800
Yeah, size six.

411
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,720
No, I think it's size eight so it might be a little bit smaller.

412
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:11,720
Eight, yeah, they're eight.

413
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:12,720
Yeah.

414
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:13,720
Yeah.

415
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:14,720
2,600.

416
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,960
But you have someone to help you along the way.

417
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,240
Yeah, I'm going to find more beads too.

418
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:21,240
You too.

419
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,240
I'm going to add beads to this pattern somehow.

420
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:24,240
Fantastic.

421
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,680
Do you know how many beads I found the other day when I was going through the craft room?

422
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:27,680
We won't even mention it.

423
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:28,680
Oh boy.

424
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:29,680
We don't need this many beads.

425
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:30,680
Well.

426
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,280
We don't got to give 110% chief.

427
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,800
But did you find all the beads from the floor?

428
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:35,800
No.

429
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,200
I guess you know what was it the other day?

430
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:39,600
I forget what happened.

431
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,200
Oh, you know what it was?

432
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:45,640
It was after your dad changed out the fans.

433
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:49,120
When you take a fan out of the ceiling, debris falls on the floor.

434
00:18:49,120 --> 00:18:51,200
I'm sweeping up and there's frigging beads.

435
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,040
I'm just sweeping up beads.

436
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:54,040
How?

437
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:55,040
I have swept so many times.

438
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:59,200
Because some of them got into underneath the heater and I couldn't get them and some of

439
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,960
them are probably underneath the table legs and I didn't feel like lifting up the table.

440
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,160
It's amazing.

441
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:06,960
Just think your future.

442
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:12,800
One day you too can drop eight zillion seed beads on your kitchen floor.

443
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:14,040
And I you know what?

444
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:18,160
And whatever ones I don't find my dogs are going to eat because they're so dumb.

445
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,180
They'll be pooping beads.

446
00:19:20,180 --> 00:19:24,640
Just when it happens, just tell Patrick he can call me and we can commiserate about the

447
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:25,640
freaking beads.

448
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,200
I don't think he knows yet that I'm doing this many beads.

449
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:33,480
He can find out when he hears the tinkling of all the beads across the kitchen floor.

450
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:38,440
I'm telling you, you haven't lived until you've gotten the confetti cannon that is doing your

451
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,080
bead spinner and putting the needle in wrong.

452
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:42,680
Oh my gosh.

453
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:44,400
I wasn't home for that.

454
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,880
Put that needle in and there's just beads flying everywhere.

455
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,520
I'm like, you're selling this so well.

456
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:51,880
You're really making her excited.

457
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:56,640
So long story short, I have to do that 2,600 times.

458
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,680
But then you don't have to pre-bead it.

459
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:00,600
So you don't have to worry about the confetti cannon.

460
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,040
Look, Jess is really excited to have somebody to go to bead biz with.

461
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,160
Like she's pumped.

462
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,240
Usually we're all just hanging out on a bench while she's like looking at the beads and

463
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,240
she always feels bad that she's like holding everybody up.

464
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:12,560
No, I need beads this time.

465
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:13,560
I do.

466
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:15,600
And I don't even know anything about beads.

467
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:20,680
So I'm going to need Jess to be my guide and show me what the heck size eight slash zero

468
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:21,680
is.

469
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,880
And yeah, I don't know what any of that means.

470
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:28,160
I am sorry that the higher the number, the smaller the bead.

471
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,080
She's going to have a good time with you.

472
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,960
OK, well, that's you can be bead buddies.

473
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:39,200
OK, so yeah, that's I'm probably that's basically going to be as soon as I'm done with this

474
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:44,720
test, which I'll probably most likely be done within the next week because it's going so

475
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,560
fast.

476
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:54,920
The the next project is going to be to start casting on that shawl for my sister in law.

477
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:59,520
Obviously, I can't do it right away because Reinbeck is not going to happen right away.

478
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,400
Couple weeks, couple weeks from one more recording.

479
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:03,960
So I don't know.

480
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:05,560
I don't know what I'm going to do in between.

481
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,320
Just probably freak out that I'm going to have to deal with 2600 beads.

482
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:09,320
I have no idea.

483
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:13,240
You buy the pattern, you look it over, you get acquainted with it.

484
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:14,240
Yeah.

485
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:15,240
Look for surprises.

486
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:19,760
If any of our listeners know off the top their heads, like folks that are going to be at

487
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:26,160
Reinbeck that have any of the things that I'm looking for for this shawl, let me know.

488
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:32,040
Send DMS to the part of my stash or comments on our blog posts and let me know what's up.

489
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:39,120
Look, now I get to look at beads.

490
00:21:39,120 --> 00:21:42,840
I got to I got to figure out my color scheme by then.

491
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:48,520
Because I found out I can do this without pre-beading their blanket.

492
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:49,520
Yeah.

493
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:50,800
So you're going to put beads on your blanket?

494
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:51,800
Yeah.

495
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:52,800
OK.

496
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:54,520
She doesn't make a blanket to be a blanket.

497
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:55,760
She makes it to be an art piece.

498
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:56,760
Oh, so they're tiny.

499
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,880
So it's like they won't be they're not going to be like.

500
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:00,880
I dig it.

501
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:01,880
I dig it.

502
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:02,880
It's going to be fun.

503
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:04,880
I think she knits or crochets.

504
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,880
I don't use them.

505
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:08,880
They're just.

506
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:10,360
Oh, I add it to my hoard.

507
00:22:10,360 --> 00:22:16,800
I also wanted to mention I am 99 percent sure I will not be in a wheelchair this year.

508
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:17,800
So yeah.

509
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:19,800
I did it.

510
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:20,800
Yeah.

511
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:27,680
Oh, I'm probably going to bring my roll later, which is like a walker with on wheels just

512
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:28,960
so I can take breaks.

513
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,640
But like I am pretty confident in my walking right now.

514
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:33,640
Awesome.

515
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:34,640
I've been doing really great.

516
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,200
And my walking is really good.

517
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:38,200
Yeah.

518
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:44,000
I actually have been more focused on my arm lately because I'm still pretty weak in my

519
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:49,440
arm because I was so focused on my leg just to get normal walking, you know.

520
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:50,440
We skipped arm day.

521
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:51,440
Yeah.

522
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:56,060
And I had actually been feeling really, really good, like pretty much symptom free ever since

523
00:22:56,060 --> 00:22:58,840
they've put me on some medications.

524
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:04,520
And but the other day, I think it was yesterday, actually, I had like a flare, like I was in

525
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:08,160
the middle of BJ's and then all of a sudden my left side just started to go.

526
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,200
And I'm like, no, I'm at BJ's.

527
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:11,200
I have a heavy car.

528
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:12,200
This sucks.

529
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:16,320
And I had one of my daughters with me and she was just like, Mommy, Mommy, I'm going

530
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:17,720
to like get to the car.

531
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:22,800
And luckily, I did park in a handicapped space with my placard.

532
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,080
So like I didn't have to walk very far.

533
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:26,080
And you know what?

534
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,120
When I parked there, I was like, I'm feeling pretty good today.

535
00:23:28,120 --> 00:23:29,240
I don't think I need it.

536
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:30,240
And then I was like, you know what?

537
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:31,240
There's a lot of spots open.

538
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:32,240
I'll take a spot.

539
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:33,760
And sure enough, I needed it.

540
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,480
I definitely needed it.

541
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:42,560
But yeah, other than that kind of one off, I've been feeling really, really good.

542
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:43,560
Nice.

543
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:44,560
Fantastic.

544
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:52,320
Don't guys don't have to hold me up for the photo.

545
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:56,960
I actually have no intent going into Reinbeck this year.

546
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:00,480
I'm not particularly looking for anything.

547
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,480
Usually I like to get some sheep art.

548
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:08,240
I have a lot of sheep art now, like a lot.

549
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:14,600
I have more than what is actually up on my walls now, so I can rotate as needed.

550
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:15,600
Oh, there you go.

551
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,720
But do you have some for your desk?

552
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:19,720
At work?

553
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:20,720
Yeah.

554
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,560
No, but I also don't have anywhere else to really put it.

555
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:30,360
Like I have a much bigger desk now, but it is full of stuff.

556
00:24:30,360 --> 00:24:35,760
So and like my one picture that I have at my desk, it's Frank.

557
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:36,760
That's fair.

558
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:37,760
Yeah.

559
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:43,120
So probably not for work, but I don't know.

560
00:24:43,120 --> 00:24:45,520
And I don't need yarn right now.

561
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:46,520
That's fair.

562
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,720
I've already got yarn for the Bolero that I'm going to be making.

563
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:55,360
I've just got so much stash and I have a lot of like good stash that I would really like

564
00:24:55,360 --> 00:24:56,360
to use.

565
00:24:56,360 --> 00:25:02,040
So if I'm not adding more to the stash, there's a higher chance that I will actually use the

566
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,240
stash like this.

567
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,720
I'm making the Jenica hat out of stash.

568
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:07,720
Yeah.

569
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:09,280
I'm very excited about it.

570
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:14,440
I'm really proud of you because it's especially hard to use yarn that you know you can't get

571
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:15,440
again.

572
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:16,440
I know.

573
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:21,120
I can tell you because when Groovy Hughes was out of business temporarily, because now

574
00:25:21,120 --> 00:25:26,640
that she's back, I remember I would just hang on to her skeins because I was just like,

575
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:30,680
I can't find a project that's good enough to use for the last time.

576
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:31,680
It's fair.

577
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:32,880
You know what?

578
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,280
I'm going to like blow your mind on this one too.

579
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:40,160
I'm not even making this for me.

580
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,020
And don't laugh.

581
00:25:42,020 --> 00:25:46,680
But this is actually a Christmas present for the lady at the post office.

582
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:51,120
Oh, that's sweet.

583
00:25:51,120 --> 00:25:54,800
I love this lady so much.

584
00:25:54,800 --> 00:26:01,880
She is like from everybody else that I know that has had an encounter with her.

585
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:11,040
She's the meanest lady on the face of the planet, but she and I vibe and she is just

586
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:15,560
like such a bright spot in my day.

587
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:20,440
And I really look forward to seeing her at the end of almost every day.

588
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,800
Like I showed her pictures from my vacation.

589
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:28,000
She knows all about Frank and stuff.

590
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:33,320
So she's just like a really nice person.

591
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:37,720
You know, if you know how to like vibe with her, you know.

592
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,260
Yeah, you get her.

593
00:26:39,260 --> 00:26:40,520
You're on the same wavelength.

594
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:41,520
Yeah.

595
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:42,520
Got it.

596
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:43,520
Yeah.

597
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:47,600
And this is for her and like discontinued yarn.

598
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,520
And I was just like, yep, that's the one.

599
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:51,760
She gets cables.

600
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:55,760
Nice yarn.

601
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:56,760
Discontinued yarn.

602
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:57,760
I'm very excited.

603
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,680
I usually go and see her at the end of the day, like the very end of the day.

604
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:04,520
I'm walking in five minutes before they close and right at five o'clock.

605
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,800
If you are not in those doors, she is turning you away.

606
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:08,800
Get out.

607
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:12,760
Oh, so is that why people have that impression?

608
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:13,760
Probably.

609
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:14,920
Because she's doing her job?

610
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,480
And she's forcing you to respect the boundaries.

611
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:18,480
Yeah.

612
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:19,480
Yes.

613
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,680
I mean, like, but that's not that's yeah, she's doing her job.

614
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:22,680
That's what she's supposed to do.

615
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:23,680
She is doing her job.

616
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:24,680
Yeah.

617
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:28,160
What people don't know, and I will share this little secret with y'all, is that if I run

618
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:33,360
in like after she closes the door, she will absolutely take my stuff.

619
00:27:33,360 --> 00:27:36,800
She's like, oh no, come in, honey, come in.

620
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:37,800
Not that guy.

621
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:38,800
But you?

622
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:39,800
Yeah.

623
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:40,800
Yeah.

624
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,680
So May is my favorite.

625
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:44,920
She's getting a fun hat.

626
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,960
I am definitely like trying to bust through stash.

627
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:48,960
Yeah.

628
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:54,400
And I don't know that I'm I don't know that I'm looking for anything.

629
00:27:54,400 --> 00:28:02,040
I think that if I come across something and it's interesting or unique, probably not yarn

630
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:09,240
or knitting, like tools or notions, but maybe like a like a related kind of item.

631
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:10,240
I'm not going to lie.

632
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:14,840
If I find another like noisemaker frog, I'll be really excited.

633
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:15,840
That's coming home.

634
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:16,840
Yeah.

635
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,760
There's no there's not even a talk about need at that point.

636
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:21,680
No, it's just it's coming home.

637
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:25,160
Like I've got one that's about, you know, the size of a regular frog.

638
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,440
And then I have one that's like super mini that I got it right back a few years ago.

639
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:29,640
So you need the big one.

640
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,160
I really want the big one.

641
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:36,600
So if they have a really big one, it's coming home.

642
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:37,600
All bets are off.

643
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:38,600
Oh, I hope.

644
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:42,080
I hope that vendors listening and listen, you bring the big one.

645
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:47,680
Look, if somebody has the noisemaker frog, you know, the one that I'm talking about,

646
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:48,800
it's wood.

647
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:53,120
It's got like the little wood stick that you run over the ridges on the back.

648
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,920
It sounds like a frog.

649
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:57,640
I want it very important.

650
00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:59,400
It sounds like a frog.

651
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:00,840
I don't want the small one.

652
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:01,840
I have the tiny one.

653
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:05,080
I want the bigger one.

654
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,600
Like I want it to be the size of my head or larger.

655
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,720
No, that's the other.

656
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:14,560
He's got small and medium started with like I have no specific needs.

657
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,960
That's like, no, I have this extremely specific need.

658
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:21,840
That's the one hopes of finding this thing.

659
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:23,480
But maybe it will have Ryan back.

660
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:27,680
But I also did not ever go to Ryan Beck expecting to find the tiny one.

661
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:32,980
I feel like if you put it out into the universe, you know, I'm speaking it.

662
00:29:32,980 --> 00:29:33,980
Maybe it will happen.

663
00:29:33,980 --> 00:29:34,980
You're putting it out there.

664
00:29:34,980 --> 00:29:39,840
Just give me a big frog.

665
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:41,840
I want to be a noisemaker.

666
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,440
Oh my God.

667
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:45,920
I bet it will sound really good.

668
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:46,920
Oh yeah.

669
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:50,920
So yeah, I'm not looking for any knitting things.

670
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,800
I don't think I just want a specific desire.

671
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:54,800
Yes.

672
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:55,800
Yeah.

673
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:57,760
So you're going to a fiber festival for frogs.

674
00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:58,760
Yes.

675
00:29:58,760 --> 00:29:59,760
Look, why not?

676
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:01,000
If it works, it works.

677
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:02,000
I'm not judging.

678
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:03,000
We all have different needs.

679
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:04,000
You know?

680
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:07,920
I immediately go to the soap vendor, even though I did.

681
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:08,920
I actually did.

682
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,760
We ran out and I did a mail in order with her.

683
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:13,800
I really did.

684
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:17,520
And actually, we are kind of well stocked, but I also know she does that deal at Ryan

685
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:18,520
Beck.

686
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:19,520
So that deal.

687
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:20,520
Cats, cats for you.

688
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:21,520
Yeah.

689
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:22,520
Cats.

690
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,560
She does like, I think it's like white, like for for 20.

691
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:26,560
I can't remember, but it is.

692
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:28,680
It's a certain amount for 20.

693
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:29,680
Yeah.

694
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,000
And she finally brought back pumpkin spice after.

695
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:33,000
Oh my God.

696
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:37,120
It's my favorite because it's also like has micro abrasions in it.

697
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:38,120
Nice.

698
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:39,120
So good.

699
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:40,120
Yeah.

700
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:41,120
I wish I could use that.

701
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:42,120
So so good.

702
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,280
My skin does not like that soap, but I love smelling it.

703
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:46,640
You can like, you can't really smell it.

704
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:47,640
You know, we go.

705
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,040
I use I use it all the time.

706
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:50,320
Pat uses it all the time.

707
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:54,160
When we start running out, he's just like, you don't have to get it.

708
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:57,520
But like, if you come across, that's why I was like, I'm going to do the mail order.

709
00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:58,520
I'm like, this is crazy.

710
00:30:58,520 --> 00:30:59,520
Yeah.

711
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:01,360
He always plays it off like he doesn't want it.

712
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:08,320
Like, I remember you brought it home last year and he was not about it at all.

713
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,440
It's like, well, did we really need so?

714
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:11,440
Yeah, no, we did.

715
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:13,200
What are you going to use?

716
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:14,200
Like ivory?

717
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:15,200
Absolutely.

718
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:16,400
He says that.

719
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,280
But then, like when he goes to shower, he wants to use that soap.

720
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:20,280
He wants that soap.

721
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:21,280
He wants.

722
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:22,280
Yeah.

723
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,280
And like, and he'll like sift through and look for the sense that he likes.

724
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:28,800
So like, I'm always made sure that like I would get like the kind of man sense.

725
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:32,440
Not like man sense, but like foresty kind of smells like that.

726
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:33,440
He likes what he likes.

727
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:34,440
Yeah.

728
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,920
So like anything like a mountain pine or something like that.

729
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:38,720
Listen, I love cedars.

730
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:39,720
Yeah.

731
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:40,720
Yeah.

732
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,000
I think I got the cedar right now because I bought some of that.

733
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:44,000
But yeah, he yeah.

734
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:45,000
Mm hmm.

735
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:46,000
Yeah.

736
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:47,000
He doesn't want it.

737
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:48,000
But then, you know, God forbid, I put it in regular body wash.

738
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,560
Somehow all the soap is gone.

739
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:51,560
How did that work out?

740
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,040
He doesn't want it, but he's got to have it.

741
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:55,040
Yeah.

742
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,520
I wonder if they're going to have the people in the sheep costumes again this year.

743
00:31:58,520 --> 00:31:59,520
Oh yeah.

744
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:04,960
I don't remember the sheep costumes.

745
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:10,240
I only remember exactly one time and it was not last year.

746
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:12,040
It wasn't the year before.

747
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:15,880
It was a few years ago and people were running around in sheep.

748
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:17,320
I do not remember that.

749
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:19,440
Do you want me to wear a sheep costume?

750
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,040
Will it be a legit sheep costume?

751
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:23,400
What's a legit sheep?

752
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:24,480
Yeah, right.

753
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,120
Like like crawl into a sheep and wear it.

754
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:28,840
Because that's weird.

755
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,640
Like, like it was head to toe.

756
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:32,640
It wasn't like a onesie.

757
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:36,480
Like it was it was like, oh, they were like like real wars.

758
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,240
Wait, this is getting weird.

759
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:39,240
I know.

760
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:40,240
What's going on?

761
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:44,160
Somebody's going to somebody's going to listen to this and know what I'm talking about.

762
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:48,880
Well, you know, whoever two people out there know what you're talking about.

763
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:50,640
I have no idea.

764
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:52,080
I won't then because I don't know where.

765
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,840
That has stuck with me since the first time that I saw them.

766
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:56,960
And I'm like, I wonder if the sheep people will be back.

767
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:58,520
And then they never are.

768
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:00,640
Or they're just not there when I'm there.

769
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:01,640
Or maybe they're there.

770
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:02,640
They're just not wearing sheep outfits.

771
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,640
No, the sheep people.

772
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:13,520
I may also look for shawl pins.

773
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:19,240
Just steer that one back on course.

774
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:20,240
This is a normal conversation.

775
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:21,240
I don't know what.

776
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,760
No, what actually legitimately is like this.

777
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,480
This brings me back to D&D.

778
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:31,160
Like everything would be blowing up and just be like, so I'm going to make my move.

779
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,040
So that's going on.

780
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:34,040
Nice distraction, guys.

781
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:35,040
I'm off.

782
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:36,040
It takes me back, man.

783
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:37,040
That was hilarious.

784
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:38,040
Yeah, I'm with Dre.

785
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:50,160
I'm really trying consciously not to buy yarn because I have found in the last few Fiberfest.

786
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:51,520
I walk by pretty yarn.

787
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:52,520
I see it.

788
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:53,520
I need it.

789
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,000
And I get home and I'm like, what am I going to do with this?

790
00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:02,320
I have eight thousand pounds of yarn and I have no idea what I'm going to do with this.

791
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:05,800
I'm trying not to make any impulse yarn purchases this year.

792
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:09,900
Like I don't have anything in mind like Tina and I have too much.

793
00:34:09,900 --> 00:34:13,340
And I've been trying to work through my stash this year as well.

794
00:34:13,340 --> 00:34:16,120
Of the projects I've made, two of them have been stash busters.

795
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,880
So I'm happy with that.

796
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:24,920
Trying to get away from from just use, especially also just using our yarns and trying to kind

797
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:29,680
of stash bust through the other beautiful yarns that we've bought over the years.

798
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:36,240
One thing I really do want to get if I can is Pacific Knit Co. is going to be there and

799
00:34:36,240 --> 00:34:37,680
her doodle book is out.

800
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:40,360
And I wanted to buy that anyway.

801
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:41,560
But it's going to be there.

802
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,040
I do want to get that.

803
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:50,320
So if that is a possibility, but it is Saturday and things get crowded and I am claustrophobic.

804
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:53,400
So that may not be a possibility for me.

805
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,000
Well, we do want to try it.

806
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:59,760
We did get told that if we get there in the afternoon, which is what we're planning, it's

807
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:01,600
not as crazy as bad.

808
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:04,520
So we're just going to avoid the morning like wildfire.

809
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:09,120
We just we don't we're not there to fight people with stuff like.

810
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,880
No, no, we want to have a good time.

811
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:15,880
So yeah, that's that's really like the one thing when I found out she was going to be

812
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:16,880
there.

813
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:18,480
I'm like, oh, man, like I do want to get that book.

814
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:23,680
It's kind of on my list because I really do want to make a make a doodle cowl at some

815
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:24,680
point.

816
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:26,280
I have like ideas.

817
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,480
I even have yarn for it.

818
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:30,800
I just haven't done it.

819
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:31,800
I really need to.

820
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:36,640
But other than that, yeah, I think I'm just going to kind of see where the wind takes

821
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:40,760
me and try to really avoid impulse purchases like yarn.

822
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:45,680
I'm going to really try to avoid impulse purchasing any more crafting bags.

823
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:47,120
Oh, yeah, definitely.

824
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:50,960
Because I have a lot at this point and they are beautiful.

825
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:55,320
I love all of them, but I got a lot.

826
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:58,000
So probably don't need any more.

827
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:05,000
Yeah, I might put some of mine up on your own saver because I I truly use the same bags

828
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:06,000
over and over again.

829
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:07,460
Yeah, there's like a couple.

830
00:36:07,460 --> 00:36:10,920
And this one was like a clearance find at Joanne's.

831
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:11,920
I love that one.

832
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:12,920
It's real pretty.

833
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:17,880
It's ivory and it has like it looks like it's knit or crocheted on the front.

834
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:20,680
And I always get asked like, did you make that?

835
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:21,680
I'm like, no, I didn't make this.

836
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,680
I bought it for five dollars at Joanne's on clearance.

837
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,240
But yeah, it's have that one I usually use.

838
00:36:27,240 --> 00:36:31,320
And then I have a couple of like my blue paisley and gold bags.

839
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:34,240
But like there's a bunch I don't touch.

840
00:36:34,240 --> 00:36:36,240
And I think it's just time to.

841
00:36:36,240 --> 00:36:42,420
I think like needles, knitting bags or craft bags are kind of like you buy a lot and then

842
00:36:42,420 --> 00:36:44,480
you realize what types you like.

843
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:45,480
Yeah.

844
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:49,220
What form and function you prefer over the others.

845
00:36:49,220 --> 00:36:52,360
And you just kind of phase those ones out over time.

846
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:56,440
I know I still have my curtain bags, don't you?

847
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:58,040
Those plastic bags for the curtains.

848
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:01,200
Yeah, I still have them out of Prince.

849
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:02,200
Out of Prince.

850
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:03,200
No, I never use them now.

851
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:06,140
But out of principle, I will not throw them out because they are good bags.

852
00:37:06,140 --> 00:37:09,180
So you gave me like one or two of those.

853
00:37:09,180 --> 00:37:10,920
And do you know what I use those for?

854
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:12,520
I store my projects in them.

855
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:13,520
Oh, yeah.

856
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:16,120
No, you mentioned that a couple episodes ago.

857
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:17,120
I think.

858
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:18,520
Yeah, I need to remember that.

859
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:21,080
It's good to just like store finished objects in.

860
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:22,080
Yeah.

861
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:23,080
Oh, there you go.

862
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:24,080
That's a good idea.

863
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:25,080
I think.

864
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:26,080
Yeah, I think I might do that then because.

865
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:27,400
Then at least they're getting function.

866
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:31,160
You know, when I actually keep something.

867
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:34,840
I will keep this one, this shirt, this sweater.

868
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:36,680
But like I yeah, I just don't.

869
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:37,680
I have like two things.

870
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:43,080
I have like Jess's shawl that she made me for your wedding.

871
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:44,360
I have that too.

872
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:51,560
I have one hat, my pineapple hat that's falling apart.

873
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:59,120
And a cowl that is poorly made by me many years ago.

874
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:00,640
But it's just it works.

875
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:02,680
It's made out of job lot yarn.

876
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:04,360
Oh, no.

877
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:05,360
The blue and pink one.

878
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:06,360
No, no, no, no.

879
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:07,360
Oh, yeah.

880
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:08,360
Wait, do I have that?

881
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:09,680
Or did I give that to somebody?

882
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:12,040
I feel like I gave that to somebody.

883
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:13,040
Do I still have that?

884
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,680
You were wearing it last year.

885
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:17,040
That's your shoveling cowl.

886
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:18,040
Oh, yeah.

887
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:19,040
That is my shoveling cowl.

888
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:21,520
Oh, maybe I still do have that.

889
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:23,840
I haven't seen it, though.

890
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:25,560
That's the Larks and Whimsies one, right?

891
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:26,560
Yes.

892
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:27,560
Yeah, yeah.

893
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:28,560
It was a test net.

894
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:29,560
Ademirra cowl, I think it's called.

895
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:30,560
Yeah, it's a nice one.

896
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:31,560
No, Lumiera.

897
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:32,560
Lumiera, not Ademirra.

898
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:33,560
Lumiera cowl by Larks and Whimsies.

899
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:34,560
It's a good one.

900
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:35,560
Yeah, no.

901
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:36,720
It's somewhere then.

902
00:38:36,720 --> 00:38:38,640
It's probably with my snow stuff.

903
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:44,640
That's probably where I honestly use it for shoveling because I wear it like a head covering

904
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:49,720
and it blocks all the snow out while we're shoveling.

905
00:38:49,720 --> 00:38:50,720
They still have function.

906
00:38:50,720 --> 00:38:51,720
Yeah, they do.

907
00:38:51,720 --> 00:38:53,080
I wasn't saying throw them out.

908
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:59,560
I'm just saying you gradually figure out which are the favorites that you keep using.

909
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:04,680
I actually use all of my project bags, but we've all been over the fact that I have a

910
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:09,160
problem and I cast on and stop.

911
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:12,760
So I probably shouldn't have as many project bags as I do.

912
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:16,480
And the thing, the issue with me with that is it's not even like a whatever.

913
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:19,760
It's all knitting because it's not.

914
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:20,760
It's not.

915
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:24,720
It's felting, it's crochet, it's all sorts of stuff.

916
00:39:24,720 --> 00:39:25,720
Yeah.

917
00:39:25,720 --> 00:39:27,860
But I'll move my bags between bags.

918
00:39:27,860 --> 00:39:33,080
So if I could choose the wrong one too, like I'll have my felting bag with no needles because

919
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:34,080
I've done that.

920
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:38,480
And I'm like, cool, I'm going to get absolutely nothing done.

921
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:42,560
Or I've mixed them up and I throw them like my crochet hooks in with my knitting project.

922
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:44,680
And that's fun too.

923
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:45,680
Good times.

924
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:49,800
I guess if you were really like adamant, you were going to get something done.

925
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:53,200
You could knit with crochet needles, but that sounds miserable.

926
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:54,200
Yeah, that does sound.

927
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:55,200
Yeah, right.

928
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:56,200
Is it possible?

929
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:57,200
Sure.

930
00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:58,200
Is it enjoyable?

931
00:39:58,200 --> 00:39:59,200
No, not at all.

932
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:00,200
Yeah.

933
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:01,200
So not at all.

934
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:02,200
I got to keep better.

935
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,320
Save that for the zombie episode.

936
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:07,640
Yeah, zombie episode.

937
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:11,840
And all you could find is an interchangeable needle without any kind of wire and a crochet

938
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:12,840
hook.

939
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:13,840
Dang it.

940
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:14,840
That's it.

941
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:15,840
That's how I'm going to knit.

942
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:18,840
That's the game.

943
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:27,660
We are going to be bringing in our new seasonal make along for the end and end into the beginning

944
00:40:27,660 --> 00:40:30,160
of next year.

945
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:35,600
So this, this make along is going to start on November 1st.

946
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:39,300
So we'll have signups through into November 1st.

947
00:40:39,300 --> 00:40:43,480
And it is the treat yourself make along.

948
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:48,120
Treat yourself.

949
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:49,640
I like it.

950
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:55,560
So basically you will be making something for yourself.

951
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:57,840
No, why couldn't?

952
00:40:57,840 --> 00:40:58,800
No Christmas presents.

953
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:00,240
No Christmas presents.

954
00:41:00,240 --> 00:41:01,760
But no, no, no.

955
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:03,480
You're keeping you find something.

956
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:04,480
Well guess what?

957
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:05,480
This time you are.

958
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:09,080
Listen, I don't wear anything I make, but it goes into the hoard.

959
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:11,200
So create a hoard just for this one occasion.

960
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:13,160
No, it's getting really ridiculous.

961
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:16,200
Like honestly, a coworker asked me the other day, they're like, what does Jess do with

962
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:17,200
the stuff they make?

963
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:18,200
I'm like, I look at it.

964
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,520
Nothing goes in a box.

965
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:22,720
No, but seriously.

966
00:41:22,720 --> 00:41:25,600
No, but yes, this is something for you.

967
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:30,160
So if there is yarn you've ever wanted to knit for and you're like, no, I don't, I don't

968
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:32,840
want to do this or I don't want to give it away to someone that doesn't know how to use

969
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:35,520
it and it's really pretty and I've always what do it.

970
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:38,460
Get the yarn, get the yarn and make something with it.

971
00:41:38,460 --> 00:41:39,460
Do it.

972
00:41:39,460 --> 00:41:40,460
Do it.

973
00:41:40,460 --> 00:41:45,000
I just thought it was a whoa.

974
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:49,240
Listen, no, if there's a pattern, you've always wanted to try it.

975
00:41:49,240 --> 00:41:51,640
But you know, you didn't want to pay the $5 for it.

976
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:53,320
Pay the $5 is for you.

977
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:55,840
Pay $5, get that one pattern for you.

978
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:57,280
Do it for you.

979
00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:58,640
Make something that you really want.

980
00:41:58,640 --> 00:41:59,640
You know what?

981
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:03,520
It's it's for a cause and that cause is the part of my stash make along.

982
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:04,520
You need to keep it.

983
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:11,600
I have a circular shawl that I started and I keep putting down that was supposed to be

984
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:12,600
for me.

985
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:13,600
And this is gonna be it.

986
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:18,440
It was it was a shawl that I was like, I want to make like a prize winning shawl.

987
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:19,640
Like that's what was in my head.

988
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:25,640
Like I want to make a beautiful shawl that I will love and that like I could enter it

989
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:29,480
like proudly into like different fairs and stuff.

990
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:31,480
Now is your chance.

991
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:38,720
Oh, or you do remember that rhyme back when I was on the cusp of a very poor decision?

992
00:42:38,720 --> 00:42:45,280
That was one of my favorite days ever where I almost like it was fiber optic.

993
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,480
No it was only it was only four.

994
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:48,480
It was two different.

995
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:52,360
It was only two different color ways and you were buying two.

996
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:56,560
And I rounded the corner and there you were standing there with the bags in each hand

997
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:58,720
and you were like, I'm on the cusp of a bad decision.

998
00:42:58,720 --> 00:43:02,080
And we were like, OK.

999
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:04,840
And I'm sitting there with yarn in my hands and I'm like, well, you came to the right

1000
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:08,200
place.

1001
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:09,680
I think it might be time.

1002
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:12,680
You think it might be time to be on the cusp of a bad decision?

1003
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:13,680
No, to use.

1004
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:14,680
Use the yarn.

1005
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:15,680
Yeah.

1006
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:19,000
My God, that was like 2016.

1007
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:22,880
It's a long time ago.

1008
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:30,240
But I still have it and I have enough to make this really beautiful circular shawl that

1009
00:43:30,240 --> 00:43:31,680
I really wanted to make.

1010
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:33,360
I remember that.

1011
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:34,360
Do it.

1012
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:36,880
Join me in the circular shawl quest for ourselves.

1013
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:37,880
Make it happen.

1014
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:39,680
I think I will do it up.

1015
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,000
Yeah, yeah, I will.

1016
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:43,000
And you know what?

1017
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:44,000
I think it has beads.

1018
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:45,000
Yeah.

1019
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:46,000
Mine has beads too.

1020
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:47,000
Do it up.

1021
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:51,960
That was supposed to be my first beads project, but it sounds like I'm going to just be doing

1022
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:52,960
two beads projects.

1023
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:54,600
Do two beads at the same time.

1024
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:57,720
You're going to be the bead champion when this is over.

1025
00:43:57,720 --> 00:43:58,720
All of it.

1026
00:43:58,720 --> 00:43:59,720
I love it.

1027
00:43:59,720 --> 00:44:00,720
Oh, you know what?

1028
00:44:00,720 --> 00:44:02,200
I just thought, oh, my God, that's I don't know why I just thought of that.

1029
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:07,800
So the circular shawl that I was talking about was I sent a picture because I finished the

1030
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:12,920
centerpiece and I sent it to my dad and he said, wow, you're so talented.

1031
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:15,120
That was like one of the last projects I sent.

1032
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:17,000
I sent him before he passed.

1033
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:19,320
I just realized that time to finish it.

1034
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:22,720
Yeah, it's going to be so good time to do the thing.

1035
00:44:22,720 --> 00:44:24,200
And again, it'll start November 1st.

1036
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:28,080
It'll go through January 31st, wasn't it?

1037
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:29,080
Yeah.

1038
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:32,440
Yeah, I definitely need a deadline because this that's helped me with this.

1039
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:35,160
On January or February, guys.

1040
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:36,160
You know what?

1041
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:37,160
February so short throw on February.

1042
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:40,160
OK, February 28th, February 28th.

1043
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:43,440
So three months, this is how we decide.

1044
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:47,080
So typically, if you guys aren't familiar, we take January off.

1045
00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:50,240
So basically what you're saying is back in February, we come back with an episode.

1046
00:44:50,240 --> 00:44:52,240
We're all going to be like, I'm not done.

1047
00:44:52,240 --> 00:44:53,240
Most likely.

1048
00:44:53,240 --> 00:44:54,240
I got four weeks left.

1049
00:44:54,240 --> 00:44:56,280
Yeah, I don't know what I'm going to do.

1050
00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:58,680
Like I'd say I'm kind of torn.

1051
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:03,280
There's a hat pattern I've been wanting to do for years.

1052
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:09,840
I probably don't need four months to do it, but it's also the pattern is expensive.

1053
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:12,640
So that's kind of that might be my treat myself.

1054
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:14,920
Do it kind of well.

1055
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:19,320
And also, if you give yourself enough time, maybe it'll help you in, like, not feeling

1056
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:20,320
overwhelmed by it.

1057
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:21,320
Yeah.

1058
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:22,680
Because you've been like really busy.

1059
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:25,520
I've really this has been a struggle bus year.

1060
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:29,960
Like if I finish four projects this year, I'll be real proud, which is not normal for

1061
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:30,960
me.

1062
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:32,160
But that's OK.

1063
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:39,240
So maybe a smaller hat will be will be better than than going full throttle and trying to

1064
00:45:39,240 --> 00:45:41,720
do like a sweater or something.

1065
00:45:41,720 --> 00:45:46,640
And I like shawls, but I've also found that I do not really enjoy like lacy shawls, like

1066
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:47,640
knitting them.

1067
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:52,000
I like like these cables or like the more simple lines.

1068
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:53,000
I like those.

1069
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:55,000
I like wearing the lacy ones.

1070
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:57,720
I don't enjoy knitting.

1071
00:45:57,720 --> 00:46:02,600
The lacy shawls are like terrifying because I remember like Orchard House had a couple

1072
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:04,940
of lacy bits in it.

1073
00:46:04,940 --> 00:46:09,220
And I felt like if I ever dropped a stitch, it would be the end of the entire shawl.

1074
00:46:09,220 --> 00:46:10,220
And I know people are going to wait.

1075
00:46:10,220 --> 00:46:11,220
Hold on.

1076
00:46:11,220 --> 00:46:12,680
I can already hear them way in the background.

1077
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:15,680
Oh, put a lifeline in.

1078
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:17,680
OK, so I like.

1079
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:19,000
Yeah, I get it.

1080
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:24,400
But also, like when you're just sitting there and you're on row seven thousand and you just

1081
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:28,520
don't feel like running a line through seven thousand stitches.

1082
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:30,680
I don't know why seven thousand is sticking, but whatever.

1083
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:31,680
That's the number.

1084
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:33,240
Yeah, I don't know.

1085
00:46:33,240 --> 00:46:34,240
I don't want to run a line.

1086
00:46:34,240 --> 00:46:35,240
That's real.

1087
00:46:35,240 --> 00:46:36,240
I'm just going to keep going.

1088
00:46:36,240 --> 00:46:37,240
OK.

1089
00:46:37,240 --> 00:46:42,160
So you do have the lifeline in, but it's still demoralizing to have to pull back to the lifeline.

1090
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:43,160
That's really frustrating.

1091
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:45,760
So I feel you on that.

1092
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:49,040
I get frustrated and I think that's that's really it.

1093
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:55,160
After this many years, I'm kind of like knit or know thyself and I know what I enjoy.

1094
00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:58,000
And I don't know if laced shawls are my thing.

1095
00:46:58,000 --> 00:46:59,000
That's fair.

1096
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:02,060
I don't think so.

1097
00:47:02,060 --> 00:47:04,140
And that's all the time we have for this episode.
