FOs
I ended up with lots of FOs this week because I finished my Christmas gift knitting!
The Acadian Shawl (Ravelry), a Christmas gift for my mom in the approximate colors of the Acadian Flag (nous sommes fiere d’etre Acadienne!) I’m using the Goldberry crochet pattern and working it in blue, white and red with accents of yellow. I’ve put a photo of the Acadian flag in the shownotes so you can see it.
Star Wars scarf (Ravelry) for Thing 1 – One section left, plan to finish later today. Still loving the new hexagonal needles from Indian Lake Artisans. I’m using Truboo by Lion Brand, a 100% bamboo yarn in white and dark gray. Pattern is a series of free charts by Jessica Goddard.
Thing 1 Dragon Blanket (Ravelry) – all the pieces are finished, I just need to assemble it.
WIPs
Tan House Brook Shawl (Ravelry) – this is a pattern by Jennifer Lassonde of Down Cellar Studios in the Sekhment base, an alpaca/silk/linen yarn from A Hundred Ravens in the Nevertheless She Persisted colorway that I bought during the virtual Maryland Sheep and Wool. I’m doing a few rows each week
Wenlock (Ravelery) from Tin Can Knits. I used a bunch of scraps in pink, white and yellow for the star pattern at the top, now I’m on to the body and I’ve using a variegated yarn, Cayenne by Feza Yarns, in cool-toned peach-pink-green variegated colorway.

Lots of stress knitting the last week, so I have MULTIPLE FOs!
FOs
Dumpster Fire ornament 1 (Ravelry) & ornament 2 (Ravelry) both made in CoBaSi by Hikoo, a blend of cotton, silk, bamboo and nylon. It’s arguably my favorite fingering weight yarn – makes great socks and tank tops. Pattern by Mary Hull of Kino Knits.
Thing 2 hitchiker (Ravelry) – a DK hitchhiker scarf for Thing 2, out of big box store cotton yarn from Michaels. It’s done and blocked and I accidentally left it out after photographing it and Thing 2 told me how much he LOVED the yarn lol. Good kid, it’s for you!
Dissent Cowl 2 (Ravelry) – this is a Christmas gift for a very knitworthy friend. I’m using some ancient stash and I’ve about halfway through the necklace portion of the cowl.
WIPs
New WIP, what I am calling the Acadian Shawl (Ravelry), a Christmas gift for my mom in the approximate colors of the Acadian Flag (nous sommes fiere d’etre Acadienne!) I’m using the Goldberry crochet pattern and working it in blue, white and red with accents of yellow. I’ve put a photo of the Acadian flag in the shownotes so you can see it.
Star Wars scarf (Ravelry) for Thing 1 – more than halfway through the last chart! I’m about 7/8 of the way through. Still loving the new hexagonal needles from Indian Lake Artisans. I’m using Truboo by Lion Brand, a 100% bamboo yarn in white and dark gray. Pattern is a series of free charts by Jessica Goddard.
Tan House Brook Shawl (Ravelry) - in the Sekhment base, an alpaca/silk/linen yarn from A Hundred Ravens in the Nevertheless She Persisted colorway that I bought during the virtual Maryland Sheep and Wool. I’m on the 2nd set of eyelet rows, almost to the 2nd set of textured stitches.
Thing 1 Dragon Blanket (Ravelry) – the second Christmas Snap The Dragon Blanket, this one from my older son. Using deep stash acrylic.
Knitting Fail
I still have a hard time reading crochet.
Spinning
Still no success at a distaff, but I have spun a little more of the Tussah Silk from Pinestar Studios in Maine on my Akerworks drop spindle.
Started the last color of my gradient spin so I can count it towards the Pigskin party

For Spacious Skies

Friday Jun 26, 2020
Episode 81 - Recorded Thursday, June 26th 2020
New pattern, end of be-a-helper kal, wips, knitting fail, spinning, wearables, out and about and if we have time I’ll do an on the run segment.
New Pattern alert!
As of the time you’re hearing this, I have a new pattern available through Knotions Magazine! The pattern is named For Spacious Skies and is knit using a gorgeous muted red, blue and white colorway from Birdies Knits named Old Glory and a small amount of white yarn for the star.
I found this yarn and this indie dyer at the very first Stitches United in Hartford, CT several years ago. I was so excited – I’d never met a hand-dyer who worked in anything other than wool. Being highly allergic to sheep, wool is not an option for me. This colorway reminded me of 4th of July parades with my grandparents and great-grandmother, of summer beach days and Friday night band concerts at the local park all summer with my family.
The star is worked first, from the center out, then short rows make the circle into a square. The remainder of the top is worked top-down – the bust area is worked back-and forth to the underarm, then the whole piece is joined in the round.
Recommend -1 to -3 inches of ease (negative ease). This means if you’re targeting a 38 bust, that you should choose a 36 (38-2). Bust: 32 - 60” , [81.5 - 152.5) cm]
Be-A-Helper KAL
Last 2 prize winners announced!
WIPs
Laceweight Boxy – Now about 16” long
Papillon – Started 2nd section. Using Berroco Medina that I bought at The Yarn Patch in Crossville, TN last year and a gold Tencel yarn from Artisinal Yarns that I bought at Rhinebeck 2 years ago.
Goldberry – I started a new crochet pattern this week.
Triyang – an old WIP that I started as SSK in 2017, I tend to keep this pattern for travelling and since we have 2 small kids we don’t travel much anymore.
Star Wars scarf for Thing 2 – I’m still working on the Blasters section of the Light Side section.
Ozone Sweater – worked a little on the Ozone Sweater, a crochet sweater, which leads me to…
Knitting Fail
I tried to work on this last Thursday during my stitching group, but apparently I cannot join crochet and talk at the same time. The medallions are linked in 5 places along one side, and I screwed it up 3 times. At the end of 1:45 I had completed (and successfully joined) 1 medallion and started the center of a second. That’s all. In nearly 2 hours.
Spinning
I finished my Pride Month spin! I pulled apart 2 braids from Hipstring’s cotton club from 2019, and spun them color by color to make a rainbow. Then two nights ago I started to learn to chain ply, which I finished yesterday. It’s not my best yarn ever, since it’s my first-ever chain ply, but I’m proud nonetheless.
Wearbles
It’s tank top season finally here in MA so I’ve recently wore my Out Tonight pattern, which is a sleeveless top inspired by the musical Rent. We had a cold windy day last weekend and I wore the Taking Flight shawl, a pattern by Katherine Belisle and inspired by Captain Marvel.
I recently wore my Strawberry Blossoms top, which I still love, but I’ve noticed after washing that the CoBaSi yarn tends to stretch more sideways than vertically when knit in garments. I have an extra skein of the yellow left, so I’m considering pulling out the turned hem, knitting a few extra inches, then re-doing the hem. I’ll let you know if I decide to go ahead with it.
On the Run
No exercise this week, poison ivy sucks

Go With the Flo shawl – still in the center section.
Spinning

I’ve been struggling to incorporate fitness since I tweaked my back a month ago. But I'm trying to plan to make success easier
Out and About – Virtually
Vogue Knitting Live happening RIGHT NOW through the 18th. I don’t know if any classes still have openinigs
MDSW was fun 2 weeks ago. It was all virtual and the interest was so great, the server crashed! Luckily someone stepped in with a PDF with links to the vendors. I ordered silk from Tess’ Designer Yarns which arrived last weekend and is soooooo soft and squishy! Also ordered a skein of alpaca/silk/linen from A Hundred Ravens, still waiting for that to ship.

Designer Notes
Pont du Marais Shawl released today, October 11! Inspired by the epic fog in my grandmother’s village and named for one of the foggiest places therein (literally, it means Bridge at the Marsh). I can’t wait to share this easy, fun pattern with you. When I first saw this skein of color-changing yarn from @wollesyarn at #VKLNYC last January I knew I wanted to make this shawl, showcasing the fog and waves that I love about Nova Scotia.
Pronunciation – Nova Scotia versus France.
30% off for podcast listeners with code ONTHERUN through Friday, 10/18.
Wips
Taking Flight – Captain Marvel inspired shawl by Katherine Belisle. I’ve been trying to finish up the applied lace edging to I can wear this beauty to Rhinebeck because it’s beautiful! I am ¾ done. Knitting this up in discontinued Longmeadow from Webs (red and blue) and Berocco Modern Cotton (yellow).
A new sleeveless top in silk, just started the sample, long ways to go.
FOs
Aggregate Shawl by #jimiknits Jiminez Joseph for the #BIPOCMAL2019 I love this pattern and I can already tell I’ll be knitting this one again in a thicker weight yarn for winter wear.
New Rent-inspired shawl pattern. For those of you at ITW, this is the gray and pink shawl that you saw me working on. I’ll be sending it to the tech editor soon then opening it up for test knitters.
Spinning
I spun Alpaca for the first time. Rolags and spinning directly from the locks. First time using regular flyer I think!
Out and About
Rhinebeck in just over a week! I’ll be there Saturday and Sunday. Come find me and say hi!
On the Run – Back Stretching edition
Regular listeners will recall that I threw my back out late last winter pretty badly. It was a just a muscle pull, thankfully nothing worse. But I learned some great warm up stretches that really helped get mobility in my spine back. I still use them periodically when I feel knots in my back muscles starting to form again and they still help.

FOs
3 shawls! I finished 3 shawl samples since I last recorded, one of which will be launching next week keep an eye on social media for details on the Pont du Marais shawl, inspired by the fog in my grandmother’s village.
WIPs
Aggregate Shawl – my first piece for the BIPOCMAL2019, this pattern is designed by JimiKnits and I’m knitting it in two colors of handspun. I am nearly done, hoping to finish today.
Hitchhiker – my 10th (I think?) hitchhiker, in Serenity Garden Sport yarn, some very old stash. I just started the 3rd skein – debating whether it will be 3 or 4 skeins.
Another shawl sample for an upcoming pattern; my 3rd Rent inspired pattern _Into the Wool folks – this is the one with the pink and gray braid you were commenting on. I promised to keep them posted on this pattern.
Triyang – by Lee Meredith - still chugging away. Laceweight on size 0 needles this is going to take forever and I am ok with that, it will be gorgeous when complete
Go With The Flo – Over halfway done. May tweak this pattern. Don’t have enough yarn to make the whole thing one color. Debating making the central lace panel a different color or skipping it altogether.
Spinning
Continuing my first sweater spin. About 4.25 oz left. I realized I had 5 oz left and I’m trying to squeeze it onto 3 bobbins by overstuffing them.
Out and About:
Upcoming:
Rhinebeck! Oct 19th and 20th; I’ll be there both Saturday and Sunday this year.
I can’t make these, but maybe some of you can:
VT Sheep and Wool – Oct 5&6
Fiber Festival of New England – Nov 2-3
Into The Wool
I’ll spare you a complete blow-by-blow of the whole weekend but I highly recommend Into The Wool. If you’ve been on the fence, or were worried about going alone to a retreat I say, go for it! These women are amazing and super welcoming. I definitely want to go back. I can’t go next year, as it starts on my 15th wedding anniversary, but in the future I will go again.
On The Run
We’ll save the whole fitness segment for next week, but I have been doing very well at making fitness a habit again.

Tour de Fleece
This is my second Tour de Fleece!
Wips
New socks knit in Plymouth Yarn Diversity in the Violets colorways. Picked the yarn up last week at A Great Yarn in Chatham, MA. I needed something on smaller needles – I seem to be only using US 4s or 5s and it was just too much. Started the toe, but the wooden needles I bought were too sticky for this yarn.
Sea-themed shawl I mentioned last week.
My third Rent-themed pattern, a shawl with 2 color cables. Yes, that’s a cable using 2 different color yarns within the cable. That sounds hard, but if you learn one simple trick they are SO EASY! I can’t believe more people don’t use this technique. I would call this technique intarsia-adjacent, but much simpler than how I learned intarsia. For the record, I am not a big intarsia fan, but I do really enjoy these 2 color cables.
Knitting Fail
Photoshoot fail – tried to have a sunset photoshoot at the beach last Saturday and it turns out a front came through and there were 30mph winds!
On The Road
Spent a week at my parent’s place on Cape Cod, lots of fun, lots of beach. Thing 1’s arm is doing much, much better and while not able to swim he was able to splash in the water, build sandcastles with help, go on some flat hikes.
Yesterday, I tried to take a self-care day. I’d been planning this day for months, then Thing 1 broke a bone, so he came with me. We drove an hour to a “local” yarn and fiber shop The Fiber Loft.
Stash Acquisition
From The Fiber Loft I got 1lb of cotton sliver that I am going to attempt dying. I also got some beautiful green speckled fiber from Buchanan Fibers and a skein of silk/linen blend in blues and purples for an upcoming shawl.
And yesterday, my very first Akerworks bobbins arrived! I can’t wait to try these. I’m going to use it for my 2nd bobbin in Tour de Fleece.
Out and About
In August I will be spending a week in Nova Scotia, Canada visiting family and I can’t wait!
September 19-22 I will be attending Into The Wool fiber retreat in Crossville, TN run by Dana from Unwind Yarn Company and Tiffany, aka The Project Bag. So looking forward to this!
Rhinebeck! For the first time I will be going both Saturday and Sunday. This is my first time driving myself to the fairgrounds, that is, not being dropped off by family or taking the Webs bus, so if you have any parking tips I’d love to hear them.
Not sure if I’ll be attending these next 2 but I hope to:
Vermont Sheep and Wool, Oct 5 & 6
Fiber Festival of New England, Nov 2 & 3 at the Big E out near Springfield, MA

Announcements
First, new pattern launch! Last Saturday I released the new Strawberry Blossoms pattern. This pattern is very dear to me. As you may remember, I hurt my hand last year and for a while I couldn’t knit at all, let alone design knitwear. But like the wild yellow strawberries that grow in my backyard in the worlds worst soil (shady, acidic, clay) I hung on. Not just clinging to the soil, I’m back and I’m blooming! If you’re interested in this pattern listen to the episode for a special listeners-only discount code!
Test Knitters Wanted
Go to http://www.windsweptknits.com/patterns/test-knitters/ to subscribe to my test knitters email list – I promise to never sell your data or to spam you; you will only be contacted about upcoming test knitting opportunities.
This week I will be starting a test knit for a laceweight shawl that is stockinette st and simple lace. The lace is a 4-row repeat that is very easy to remember. So easy, in fact, that this shawl became my knitting of choice for my kids’ karate and swimming lessons. Shawl was inspired by the musical Rent, which had a huge impact on me as a teen.
2nd is a laceweight cowl, heading to the tech editor today. This one has a lot of meaning too. A few years back, a dear friend was diagnosed with cancer. My then-4-year-old and I together designed this cowl for her. I pulled out all my silk yarn and let him pick the yarn. Then the two of us poured through my stitch dictionaries and he picked an arrowhead lace pattern. I knit it up and gave it to her to keep warm and strong during her treatments. Fast forward to this year and I’ve adapted that original pattern to have a second, longer size for those who like to double-wrap their cowls or wear them long.
