Episode 96 Show Notes - Misc -  Interested in the unofficial Regia Arnie & Carlos KAL?  Use hashtag #acregiakal. WIPs - Wee Envelope by Ysolda Teague, in the 3-6 month size, using Malabrigo Arroyo in Escorias (054). Wee Envelope Sprinkles, my fourth pair of Fish Lips Kiss Heel socks! This time, I'm using Opal Sweet & Spicy in the Sprinkles colourway (more officially, #8613, Zuckerstreusel). Opal Sweet & Spicy 2 in the Sprinkles colourway The socks I'm affectionately calling Monkey Sparkles saw a bit more progress this week. The yarn is Smith & Ewe Sparkle Sock in the "Your Majesty" colourway. FOs - Sadly, nothing is quite done this week... Spinning WIP - Still enjoying my Hansen Mini Spinner immensely - March 2015 Spun Right Round Club on the Hansen Mini Spinner I'm still working on the Spun Right Round Club colourway from March 2015. A beautifully prepped Rambouillet. So close to being finished this one! I played with the colour placement by spinning a modified fractal spin. More details on Episode 94 as well as this episode. The Hansen is Seeing Much More Love These Days... I can't wait to try out my new Hansen Lace Flyer!! Enhancing the Stash - April's Spunky Eclectic Club arrived, and I'm loving both the colour (it reminds me of some handspun socks I made years ago), and the fiber! Gales Art Stencilled Sock Blanks. Noro Kureopatora in colour #1001. This Week's Review - This week, I take an in-depth look at one of Craftsy's newer classes, Drafting From Woolen to Worsted, by Jacey Boggs-Faulkner, which I give 2 big thumbs up!  I was not compensated for this review, and the opinions are my own. I am a Craftsy affiliate, so if you click the link above to sign up after seeing my review (or any of the Craftsy links on this site), a little bit of cash goes into my change jar, which I will pass back to my listeners with prize draws. There's going to be a biggie coming up in June! Stay tuned!
