193 The waiting phase


Listen Later

In this episode: I have more projects on the needles at one time than ever before, and I talk about all of them. Also, we're buying a cottage, and trying very hard to remain detached until the contracts have been signed.

The Schneke Shawl spiral has been a little bit addictive. Now that I've reached the back and forth section of the first rectangular end, it's less so.

Not feeling the love for 24 Days Socks knit from the toe up. Time to call time out.

The August Argyle Socks are still just yarn and an idea at this point. It occurs to me that perhaps a swatch in the round of simpler intarsia shapes, like a square on one side, and a triangle on the other, might be a good practice piece.

Against All Odds is off the needles, and the fit is much more relaxed than anticipated. I don't hate it, it's just something to be aware of when you knit with linen.

The Cosmo Cardigan goaded me into nearly completing the yoke in about a week. I'm slowing down now, and saving this project for when I need a break from all the lace and fingering weight yarn.

[The Red Edge](https://www.ravelry.com/projects/Brenda/the-red-edge-cardigan-poc) details make all the difference. I just love this project. Never gonna give it up. Never gonna let it down.

Knit to this: Tonia and I have been amusing ourselves with these fine podcasts, hosted by Danny Robins, from BBC sounds: The Uncanny Podcast is great fun. [Start here.](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0010wp9) The Battersea Poltergeist is also creepy and very weird. But our favourite was The Witch Farm, because it takes place in Wales.

Music in this podcast: Jim Fidler, Merrigan’s Reel and [Hanna Trigwell, Never Gonna Give You Up](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSDOcLfwM-I)
