Kelly and Marsha met up in Portland, Oregon for the Rose City Yarn Crawl from March 5-8. Can you believe there are fifteen yarn shops in the Portland area? We didn't have time to visit each shop but sure gave it a try. In this episode we discuss our experience of the yarn crawl, talk about Marsha's woolen spinning in the hotel room, and share information about three indie dyers we met during the crawl. We hold off discussing project updates until the next episode. It was so much fun to put this podcast together while we were actually in the same room!

Marsha and Kelly provide an update on their fiber projects--finished, current, and planned. In addition to knitting, dyeing, and spinning, Marsha has an upcoming sewing adventure. Kelly went to Stitches West and tells all about that adventure. Stitches is the beginning of the Two Ewes' Yarn Season, with the Rose City Yarn Crawl next weekend and the Northern California Knitters Retreat in April.

Listeners have asked us about our distance walking so in this podcast we talk about our walking adventures and, not to worry, we also talk about fiber, including knitting, spinning and some weaving.We are excited that we found a way to record our phone conversation! It's almost like we are in the same room and not separated by a state! Together we discuss how we each came to the sport of distance walking, how we train, and some of the challenges and pleasures we each find in training.

Marsha and Kelly talk about their Cast On Five challenge and all the knitting and weaving that has and hasn't happened yet! Kelly talks about knitting lace and the progress of her Niebling piece.

The Two Ewes announce contest winners, and Marsha talks about her adventures outside of the fiber world.

In this episode, recorded partly before Christmas and partly after, Kelly and Marsha don't have a theme, but instead just talk about finished sweaters and the projects they are currently working on. It is a good way to wrap up the year!

Marsha talks about her finished custom-fit cardigan, The St. John Cardigan and the skeins of handspun and hand-dyed yarn that she has made since getting her new spinning wheel.
