Eagle Crest Retreat Information

My husband, Bob, joined me for a casual chat about what we are doing. He is always improving his coffee making ritual. Our word for the week is "wraith". We are seeing just a few signs of spring in our woods. I am in a major decluttering mode. Enjoy, Paula and Bob

I've been thinking of doing a journal style episode for a while so here it is. For the first time ever some of the audio just didn't record. I learned a lot in this first attempt. I hope you enjoy. My husband, Bob, joined me in conversation about nature, words, books, and what's been going on with my knitting. Thanks for listening.

I finished lengthening the Odette Hoodies for my granddaughters. In order to distract from a different dye lot of Quince & Co Lark, I added a kangaroo pocket and embellished with embroidery. I share with you how I added the pockets and I give some embroidery tips. My husband joins me in this episode for Nature Notes, In The Pipeline, and High Note/Low Note.

I finished Cobblestone #2 and started on #3. I share how I lengthened the Odette Hoodies by Carrie Bostick Hoge. These fit my granddaughters perfectly right now but they needed a few more inches in the body of the sweater. The Knitting Pipeline Retreat in Kennebunk, Maine was fabulous, as always! I share some highlights from the retreat. This episode is sponsored by Quince & Co. Knitting Pipeline is a Bluprint Affiliate. Bluprint offers affordable online classes and supplies.

I finished Cobblestone #2 and want to start on a third one. I am knitting on my Northeasterly strips and started a pair of mittens for The Maine Mitten Project.

Today’s episode is very special to me as I remember my grandmother on the 121st anniversary of her birthday, her knitting, and life lessons she taught me. I also share how I met Elizabeth Zimmermann both in her books and real life and how she became my knitting mentor through our exchange of letters over a period of years. Thank you for listening!
