Episode 92: GLYC 2019 Done and Dusted

News & Announcements Allison is now a British citizen! And she has a new job! She is now the Events Coordinator – Craft for Farnham Maltings , the home of Unravel . She's also putting on Make Joy , a one day celebration of yarn and friendship, happening at Baden Powell House in central London near the Natural History Museum on Sunday, 3 November. Tickets are now on sale ! Rachel also has a new job! But thankfully she's working from home so she can knit on client calls without anyone looking at her strangely. Win, win. What we're working on Allison has been doing a little bit of Porpoise Fur spinning on her new wheel. She's also working on a super secret uber chunky project to be revealed later in the year, and is knitting some Mercury socks by Kim Drotar (a free pattern on Rav) from the Urth yarn she got from Rachel for her birthday. Rachel – finished one Ripple Bralette by Jessie Mae Martinson for eldest daughter in Dusty Dimples sock yarn in Pretty Poisons, and started another for youngest daughter in Qing Fibre BFL fingering. As a new crochet project, she started the Fern shawl by Jan Power (another free pattern on Ravelry - thank you!) But most importantly, she finally got into her Electric Eel Wheel Nano and has spun up the singles of three bumps of fibre she bought from John Arbon that is destined to be an Odyssey Shawl by Joji Locatelli.
