Here are the show notes for Episode 52:  
On the Needles: 
Knitting Projects - 
FO's:  

WIPs:
2018 Stephen West MKAL.  Picked it back up and have been making progress.  Finished clue 3, although I shortened it a bit.  Finished clue 4 but haven't bound off.  Loving it again.

Christmas stripey socks.  Using my precious Gynx yarn in the Naughty or Nice color way.  Inserted afterthought heels so I could try on better to gauge calf increases needed.

Syncopation Socks.  Using Andromeda sock yarn in Smoke to make socks for Brian.

Prayer Shawl #4.  Unknown green acrylic yarn.  Crocheting this time.

Mini Mochi Fair Isle Hat by Sandi Rosner. This is my first fair isle project.  Getting ready to do the decreases in pattern.

Stalking:  Magical Thinking by Casapinka.  Felted slippers.

Acquisitions - Beads and findings to making MORE beaded stitch markers/progress keepers.  Local Yarn Store Day haul.

Spinning Projects - Merino/silk blend I received as part of the holiday swap.  Yellow/blue/brown combo that I tried not to muddy.

Under the Needle:
Sewing Projects - Lily Pad workshop with Beth Lindquist.  Stitched top together using twosie-foursie method and I really like it.  Added borders, pulled fabric from stash to create backing.
Finished hand quilting my pineapple table runner.  Trimmed it up and it's ready for the binding.
Obsessed with making a needle book now.  Looked up tutorials, picked fabric, just need to decide on the size.

In the Garden: spring cleanup, trimming perennials, putting wool out for the birds to make nests.  We've had two "bomb cyclones" which pretty much closed everything down for a few days, and it snowed again last night.  I don't mind.

In the Beeyard - n/a

Off Topic:  Was thinking of getting new countertops and a backsplash for kitchen already, then the microwave broke and decided to get all new appliances.  Was already planning on repainting interior, will be scheduled soon.  So there's all that.
