Episode 29: Play it Where it Lies   Litterbox Terri:I’m choosing a topic this time: Favorite thing in your craft that you learned or did last year. Could be favorite project, could be favorite technique…anything. Also, least favorite I’ll add mine when I decide. Favorite: Learning to wash fleeces. I was really intimidated by it. But, I love it. There’s something so interesting about it. I am starting to card up and spin some of the fleece I washed and it’s kind of amazing to me that I will be able to see things through almost the whole process.    My least favorite thing: I don’t really have one. Maybe not making Shepherd’s Harvest a priority and missing it.    Libby: Hmmm favorite thing - I would say either my hat I just did as I loved working with different textures of yarn and learning new stitches. Not a ton of time for crafting so far in 2025 as I’ve been working super long days   PAWS Terri:  The Purl Code (ravelry link)-Using my Leicester Long wool from Jubilee Farms that I got at Wisconsin Sheep and Wool. I’m into the body. Hoping I Have enough. It’s thick and thin and so it’s really hard to figure gauge and yardage.    Juniper Cowl-Toni Lipsey- I haven’t made any progress   My Favorite Vanilla Socks-in the home stretch on sock 1. Adventurous Wrap-(ravelry link) no progress   Palmistry miits-Stephanie Lotven using my handspun icelandic with the pops of neon that I spun up. Finished one mitt. Leith Hat: Ysolda Teague. Maybe my favorite hat ever honestly. Whimsical Wood Yarn DK in Smitten Ass colorway    DRK Everyday Cowl- Handspun Greens Libby: Colorblock Bag - stashed    Wizard Hat by Morale Fiber - stashed though I may dig this back out and retry after my wrap top gets going   Crochet bucket hat - haven’t started yet    Golden rod wrap top - Knitpicks Galileo in Meteor, just started my swatch - there’s a couple option things in the pattern so I’ll be debating which ones. The hood doesn’t look too hard but maybe its best to start small. There is also an option to choose ties or faux wrap and I THINK I’m going to go with just ties. The optional detailing trim  is so cute also so I may attempt it  FO PAWS Terri-Nothing for me   Libby:  Cat Sith Beanie - Earth Tricks - I am IN LOVE with my hat. It is all finished up, I may lightly block it just to make it a little more slouchy/etc. But it is so cute I want to make another with different yarns. She has a ton of other cute patterns that are similar so I may try one of those as well. Maybe make something matching too.  From Fluff to Stuff- I took a good chunk of time and reorganized my work space. I now have a pretty good dyeing set up. And my work space where I spin, prep fiber, and card (someday sew) is in pretty good shape. I now have ALL of my stash in one place.    I spun some gorgeous BFL dyed by grittyknits in fluorescent green and yellow. It is just gorgeous.  I also am still spinning up my mimikyu batt for my pokemon replendence shawl Ooh Shiny!    Terri- Through Flannel and Purls I found out about a fiber artist called Mellyknits some time ago. I’m currently stalking her shop update on January 26. Also Wafa is back in January and will be the weekend of the 24th through the 26th.    I may…have gotten some Montadale from the Frivolous Ewe. I’m so excited to play with it!   Libby:  There’s not a ton catching my eye as I’ve been off social media lately a bit more and working a lot. I have been watching some videos about felting so I may try and start one of my kits soon.    Leisure Suit-   Terri- We rewatched season 1 of Severence in preparation for Season 2 this Friday. Steve and I LOVE this show. The acting is amazing. It has Adam Scott from Parks and Rec (and many other things) as the main character. It also has Brit Lower, Patricia Arquette, John Tuturro, Christopher Walken. All the acting is superb. It’s Directed and produced by Ben Stiller who I am normally not a huge fan of. But, this is great.    Libby: Haven’t watched any more of the crown yet
