Episode 9: There are wasps in my brain!!

Hey everyone! So sorry for the delay in Episode 9, it's been a rough few months but I'm out the other side so taking advantage of it :)

As always, thank you so much for joining me in my crafty ramblings. It's wonderful to have you spend time out of your day to listen, laugh and hopefully get inspired!

This week, I have some works in progress, finished objects, sewing and stash treats! I also show some give away prizes, which will be announced in Episode 10, the prompt for this is "What Is your Favourite Book?", there will be a thread in our Ravelry Group 'Knitting In Wonderland Podcast'.

You can find me on Ravelry and Instagram as RockabellaCrafts, where I look forward to chatting and getting to know you all!

Ravelry Group: Knitting In Wonderland Podcast



Here are the show notes.......

WIPs:

Hitchhiker by Martina Behm, a paid for pattern on Ravelry. I'm using a pink/white/light grey variegated hand dyed sock yarn from The Nutty Knitter on Instagram in Strawberry Milkshake.

Pomme De Pin by Amy Christoffers, using Stylecraft 4-ply in a navy blue. It's out of hibernation and I really want to get this finished, ideally for Bristol Wool Fair! The pattern is so easy to memorise and I'm so glad I picked it up again, it's turning into one of my current favourite wips.


FOs:

SOCKS!!!! I've finally, at long last, finished my blue socks using the Hermione Everyday Sock pattern on the legs and vanilla foot. Knit using hand dyed yarn from Miju Wools in Gloucester.

Bee Hive Tea Pot Cosy, this pattern is in the Tea Cosy Pattern Book from the 20 Tings To Make series. I used tiny bee buttons to decorate but would like to get more to give it a more finished look. It was easy and fun to do!

In The Flock:

I have finished my White Rabbit Wristees by Tiny Owl Knits for the August Wristee KAL in the TOK Ravelry group! I used 100% Alpaca Artisano Yarn. Originally I just used cream and some purple acrylic but realised I had 2 skeins of Artisano in different colours so ripped it back and started again, I love the result and so glad I did!



Sewing:

I've been busy making Mug rugs and children's cooking aprons, it's so much fun! 

Adore the unicorn cross-stitch I whipped up, looking forward to trying out some more designs!

Stash Treats:

Lots of fabric from Higgs&Higgs, in a variety of patterns, shapes and sizes!

Tiny Owl Knits woodland knits pattern book - absolutely in love with this book, I can't wait to work my way through all the patterns!

Drops Fabel sock yarn which I want to use in order to try out the fish lips kiss heel.



GIVEAWAY!!!!!!

I have 2 prizes to give away for Episode 10! The first is a skein of my naturally dyed yarn which I'm using to knit my Aisling Shawl by Justyna Lorkowska. The second is some fibre from Mother Goose Online in some gorgeous colours! To be in with a chance to win, join our Ravelry group and tell us about your favourite book! It can be a knitting pattern book, reference book, fictional book, anything at all, I just want it to be a chance to give people some inspiration whether it be to find something new or escape with a good read. One post per person please, feel free to edit your post as many times as you like, I will create a chatter thread to talk about all things book related in the group too, which will be an on going thread :)
