A once in a lifetime trip to Berlin, Germany re-ignites Ariana’s knitting skills when she knits her first pair of socks during her visit to mom’s birthplace, Berlin, Germany. We begin the Celtic Cables class by Carol Feller on Craftsy.com. Ariana talks about her approach to each class which begins with a stash crash at mom's house. This time she is using Irish yarn which was a gift for mom from one of her friends at least 20 years ago. The yarn is power drilled from hank to yarn ball. Ariana uses the StitchMinder via iPod to help her keep track of her reverse knitted two arms at the same time of the celtic cable cardigan pattern by Carol Feller.

Ariana recounts her adventures in Fair Isle, which is ongoing. Taking the online class The Fair Isle Vest: Stranded & Steeked Mary Jane Mucklestone, Ariana learns to knit shetland wool into a gorgeous vest . After she photographs and posts pictures to the Craftsy platform, the vest felts in her washing machine. She talks about:

✓ Monkey socks by Cookie A.
✓ how to rescue a felted garment
✓ Steeking
✓ Finishing stranded knitting
✓ Frogging ribbing to come and more.

Ariana continues with Celtic Cables which includes steeking the body and attaching the sleeves.
