by Kelly and Marsha
Who are we and why are we podcasting? We are Kelly and Marsha. We came at yarn and fiber from different directions, but we both love it. Marsha is an accomplished knitter, learning to dye yarn. Kelly is a spinner who knits and weaves. Fiber is one of the many interests we share after over 30 years of friendship.

<p dir="ltr">A trip to the desert, a chicken update, and a big increase in active projects. Kelly makes Marsha record the morning after she gets home from a trip, but we have to squeeze it in between her travels. Join in the fun and hear about our knitting, spinning, and weaving projects. No photos this week, but lots of links to all our projects. </p> <p dir="ltr">Full notes with photos and links can be found in the podcast section of <a href= "https://twoewesfiberadventures.com/">our shop website: TwoEwesFiberAdventures.com</a> Join the <a href= "https://www.ravelry.com/groups/two-ewes-fiber-adventures">community on Ravelry</a> or become a patron and support the show on <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/twoewes">our Patreon Page</a>.</p> <p dir="ltr"><a href= "https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/two-ewes-fiber-adventures/id928864628?mt=2"> Subscribe on Apple Podcasts</a> or <a href= "http://subscribeonandroid.com/twoewesdyeing.libsyn.com/rss">Subscribe on Android</a>.</p> <h2 dir="ltr">Marsha’s Projects</h2> <p dir="ltr"><a href= "https://www.ravelry.com/projects/betterinmotion/ames-beanie-5">Ames Beanie</a>: Stephanie Larson. Using Purls Before Swine Hometown Worsted in colorway Seaglass. I was about to start the decreases when I noticed I had crossed one of the cables the wrong way. I’ve ripped it back and corrected my mistake.</p> <p dir="ltr"><a href= "https://www.ravelry.com/projects/betterinmotion/nl7-knit-to-fit-socks-16"> Socks</a>: Using <a href= "https://www.ravelry.com/yarns/library/knit-picks-felici-fingering-weight"> Knit Picks Felici</a> in the colorway Hawaiian Shirt.

Using Cascade 220 in colorway Wine. Finished the body, split for the armholes, and finished the front.

Started with double points but did a full search of circular needles and found a short cabled one. Used a needle gauge from Invictus Yarns with multiple gauge holes for size US 2 and US 3 needles due to the varying mm that don’t track completely with US sizes. </p> <p dir="ltr">Finished a <a href= "https://ravel.me/1hundredprojects/ts">two ply skein of tunis</a>. </p> <p dir="ltr"><a href= "https://ravel.me/1hundredprojects/bbbc">Sewing with handwoven</a>: All curtains zigzagged, cut, and hemmed. Next up is to put in the rod casings but before I do that I think I may have to cut some of them down. So probably more zigzagging and cutting. And of course, before that, another measuring session with the panels inside the trailer. </p> <p dir="ltr"><a href="https://ravel.me/1hundredprojects/slr">Loom refurbishing project</a>. Took out heddles and metal flat stock that they were hanging on and cleaned in vinegar with a scrubby. Didn’t finish all the flat stock “heddle racks.” So this is still in progress. Decisions about cords vs apron and how to attach cords had been made in favor of cords on the back beam, apron on the front beam. Thanks to Mary and Cathy who showed me how this looks on their looms.</p> <p dir="ltr"><a href= "https://ravel.me/1hundredprojects/sbao">Spring Buckens and Owls</a> (Ms and Os) I've threaded the reed and heddles and ready to wind on so I can start weaving this last project of the Winter Weave Along. Probably won't quite finish by the end of March, but maybe! The colors are like Easter to me so I'm eager to finish them at least by Easter weekend. </p> <h2 dir="ltr">Winter Weave Along</h2> <p dir="ltr">Last push for the Winter Weave along with less than a month until the end.

<p dir="ltr">Answering listeners' questions, doing a little podcast housekeeping, and catching up on project progress. Marsha has lost track of time and Kelly is losing track of broken rib stitches.

Using Cascade 220 in colorway Wine. Did not get gauge with the suggested #9 needles. Went down to #8 and still off by ½ stitch. I think the fabric would be too dense going down to #7. Decided to make size #2 which, if the math is correct, will give me the suggested 10” of positive ease. Fingers crossed! I have knit 15” of the body and about to spit for armholes.</p> <p dir="ltr"><a href= "https://www.ravelry.com/projects/betterinmotion/the-weaving-studio"> Weaving Studio</a>: It’s a work in progress.
