Episode 113 - Knitting at NoCKRs

We're back! Well, we never really left, but we attended our NoCKRs retreat, I was away at YarnFest, and then came home sick, and for some reason we both felt like it had been a long time since we recorded. We've got a lot to fit into this episode--some fun garments we spotted at the retreat, we both finished a couple of items, and a fun new book from Dragonfly Fibers. Enjoy!

Gayle and I share some of our favorite things to do when we are on Ravelry, such as searching within our own libraries and searching for specific projects made in specific yarns. We both like to search for ways to use our own pattern libraries, and yarn stashes--finding ways to use our own little hidden pattern and yarn gems is one of our favorite ways to use Ravelry. There are some search filters that are fun to use too. We hope you learn something! We will try to schedule this discussion several times a year as it always proves to be quite popular!

This weekend we are off to our second annual NoCKRs retreat! We've been looking forward to this for a year now. :) It should be fun and can't wait to see all of you who will be joining us!
