Ep 108: One Noise After Another

Despite the noises and interruptions the yarn talk continues! Through downpours, laundry, head shaving, a neighbor coming by and odd thumping in the background, the show goes on.  Hear the Ewes respond to the Fiberuary Challenge and Yarn Love Challenge prompts.Full notes with photos and links can be found in the podcast section of our shop website: TwoEwesFiberAdventures.com.

Project Updates

Marsha finished her cardigan Cloud Cover by Heidi Kirrmaier and loves it.



Marsha double checked the label on her fleece and it is Wensleydale x Cormo x Merino fleece.

After our last episode Marsha ordered another skein of worsted yarn from Thirteen Mile Lamb and Wool to have extra for dyeing for the colorwork pullover, Snowflower by Heidi Kirrmaier. She is still in the planning stage for dyeing the yarn. Plus she wants to take a colorwork class.

Marsha is almost done with Slack Tide Scarf by Poststitch that she is making for her brother and she cast on a scarf for herself called Shared Rib by Anne Hanson using Old Maiden Aunt Yarns fingering weight that she bought last March at the Edinburgh Yarn Festival.

She also cast on a pullover Mountain High by Heidi Kirrmaier (again!) using The Croft Shetland Tweed by West Yorkshire Spinners that she bought at the The Yarn Cake in Glasgow.

Kelly finished the Mystery Knit Along with Cozy Up Knits using the Two Ewes Replenish Rambouillet. It will be one of her Stitches garments if it gets blocked in time.



Kelly has started the Koru by Aroha Knits. She’s using Dance Rustic Silk from Dragonfly Fibers.
