Giveaways We haven’t shipped prizes from previous giveaways yet. We will, eventually, we promise. Projects Joey is working on a scarf for his son. His promise of finishing it by Christmas in previous episodes did not specify which Christmas it will be finished by. He’s making good progress, but isn’t banking on Christmas anymore. Greg completed a Mini-Stocking (no project page). He loves this pattern. Greg is knitting dishcloths. On his fishing trip, he knitted a big one with cotton yarn and Scrubby yarn held double. He’s looking forward to using it. He also has been using KnitPicks Dishie yarn, which he loves. Greg is working on a pair of Zigzagular Socks for his mom (project page). First sock is complete, he’s starting the zigs and zags on the other sock now. He’s using HauteKnitYarn. Greg is working on his Halcyarn Socks (project page). First sock is complete. He loves the contrasting cuffs, toes, and heels in black, but he hates weaving in the ends with black yarn. Yarn is custom-dyed by Dr. Kelly from the Ewe University podcast. Greg has started some imaginary knitting: the Sun Blossoms Cowl with amazing alpaca yarn from Fair Winds Farm.
