Here are the show notes for Episode 53:  
On the Needles: 
Knitting Projects - 
FO's:  
Prayer Shawl #4.  Unknown green acrylic yarn.  Crocheted.

Mini Mochi Fair Isle Hat by Sandi Rosner. This is my first fair isle project.  Blocking definitely helped the fit.

Expeditiously for Spring.  Loopy Ewe Space Camp June project.  Yarn is as gorgeous as the photo.

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

Magical Thinking by Casapinka.  Loving it. Yarn, pattern, stitches.
Stalking:  summer weight cardigans

Summer Sanctuary by Sarah Gresbach.  Cotton/linen blend by Cascade Yarns Hampton.

Acquisitions - Estes Park Wool Market haul

Spinning Projects - Merino/silk blend I received as part of the holiday swap.  Yellow/blue/brown combo that I tried not to muddy.  About 306 yds.
Alpaca 2-ply

Under the Needle:
Sewing Projects -
Finished binding on my pineapple table runner.  Sandwiched 2 other small projects ready for quilting.
Made a needle book and I love it.

In the Garden:  Snow storm on May 21st really took a toll on the tree.  Salvia, delphinium, catmint, penstemon are all blooming.  Clematis climbing, blooming, but looks off.


In the Beeyard - They're alive and working my flowers hard.

Off Topic:  finished repainting interior, new appliances (with issues), countertops.  Need to pick a backsplash we both like that will work.
