So far I have 30 people subscribed to my podcast via iTunes, and 2 from some other place. That is sooo wild! In 24 hours over 2 dozen people around the country listen to my dorky self! To celebrate (and ehem.. this is why doing a podcast is BAD it makes you want to buy yarn!) I went to Cast on Cottage today. I had a reason to go you know, last night I spent over an HOUR cleaning up my craft room and organizing my stash and the motivation was I wanted to find my Colinette Wayfarer book so I could get needles for the jacket.

Oh before I digress by talking about yarn, I plan on talking about spinning in my podcast for sure, and I will talk about it in my next podcast which I have planned to create this weekend.

I nearly tore the room up and finally found it under a stack of fabric in my sewing cabinet. Size 12mm, US 17, wowza! I only have to cast on 37 stitches for the back heh! I just had a Caramel Macchiato Short from Starbucks (a very rare event that I drink coffee) and I think I might start bouncing into things!

So I found the magazine, and headed to the LYS to get some Daisy’s. Don't loose faith in me, I looked them up online last night hoping to avoid the LYS because I have no self control. The shipping in most places was the same PRICE AS THE NEEDLE! ($5) So if you know a good source of Crystal Palace needles with free shipping I would love to know about it. So well I HAD to go in you see?? When I went in I walked around the whole store, and then I passed the Dalegarn section. Svale just wouldn't leave me the hell alone! So I bought some in 7432 (50% Cotton/ 40% Viscose/10% Silk).

I had to see, cause in 2004 I got this wonderful book, Dalegarn No. 123


It has loads of very classic and modern summer knits. I am going to knit this:

Cast on Cottage actually still had a copy in the store which was surprising. It’s hard to find online.
