Thank you for joining me this month! Each year, I take a couple of weeks in December to spend time with my family and re-charge for the new year. This is the last show for 2017 and I want to take a moment to say thank you for an amazing year & I look forward to what we can create in 2018! Thank you for the ongoing support from our Patrons – this month, Linda will be receiving a calendar from me. Today’s show focuses on the end of our #zerotohero2017 and I give away some big prizes. Did you win? Thank you for your entries and to those from the Patreon community for provided prizes. Your contributions and pay-it-forward attitudes are wonderful. I share a finished spin – sadly, the last SweetGeorgia Yarns’ club fibre was this month and while there are some fun things coming down the pipeline, I’m sad to see it end! I chat about spinning directly from the braid, rather than un-braiding and prepping ahead of time. And I share some Christmas knitting I’ve been working on my for niece and nephew. Have a wonderful holiday season!

Thank you for joining us this week! We have quite a long show – there were lots of questions, lots to catch up on and some SPAKALs and KALs to tell you about! Welcome to new and returning viewers – I appreciate your time that you spend tuning in with me and to those who support on Patreon, thank you for keeping the show on the air week-after-week. This week, I talk about Glow Beauty from Within’s Fall-la-la KAL that we’ve started. For coupon codes, please head over here. I chat briefly about the Colour and Breed Studies that we’re in the middle of and I am going to be starting on that spin next. I have many finished skeins this week including my Hallowe’en batt, some SweetGeorgia Yarns’ club fibre and SW BFL, and Kinfolk Yarn and Fibre’s SW Targhee in Agate. It’s a lot to chat about! I’ve been sampling some plant-based fibres that I share from Vegan Yarn and lastly, some handspun knitting that I haven’t shared with you ever … even though it’s been on the needles for a good few weeks!

Thank you for joining me this week – I have some exciting news to share about the Breed and Colour studies this week. I am pretty excited to be able to spoiler the colourways to you and I plan to start spinning ASAP! I take you along with me as I wind bobbins for my 3-ply sock spin that I’ve been working on f.o.r.e.v.e.r. and I walk you through my finished Veronika cardigan that I had made a major mistake on last week. I hope you enjoy the show and thank you for watching!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Live Stream this week! It was a lot of fun and there was a lot of snow talk – never a dull moment, let me tell you! Welcome to new and returning viewers – I really appreciate you taking the time out of your day and tuning in. This week, I answer a very long question about combing versus carding equipment and what one could think about when starting to add tools to one’s fibre preparation kit. I include a review of Plum Deluxe Tea from Oregon and there is a coupon code [welfordpurls15] for everyone to enjoy 15% off your order. I have several spins that I am still plugging away on but since I haven’t been well, I have made zero progress on them! Instead, I have been knitting up a storm on my Stone Point poncho, which is finished. I’ve also finished, but need to reknit, my Veronika cardi by Shannon Cook and I added a much-needed pom pom to Norah’s Shanti Toque!

Thank you for joining me this week in this very short episode! I am fighting the flu and feeling under the weather so we post-ponned the live stream for Patreon subscribers to next week. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy a quick show in which I chat about my current spin from Kinfolk Yarn and Fibre, as well as review Alanna Wilcox’s new self-published book, A New Spin on Color. I hope you enjoy!

Happy Spinzilla! I hope you are tuning in this week because your spinning wheel (or spindle) is turning fast, and you are making tons and tons of yarn! This week, I announce some giveaway winners from last month and this month as part of the Patreon support. Speaking of Patreon, thank you to those who continue to support the show. You are the ones who keep the show on the air month after month! Welcome to new and returning viewers – I hope you enjoy the show. This week, I chat about a bunch of project planning that have come about due to a recent finished object (from yesterday!). These are part of the Stash down-along going on in the Ravelry group at the moment. Next, I chat about my spins in progress. I chat about a Romney-Mohair blend that has been sitting in my stash for the past year. I’m thinking that yarn will be a 4-ply … wish me luck!

Today, we chatted about new beginnings and changes in our home life. We discovered how I build my spinner’s control cards, my thought process and some examples, as a result of a question asked. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to approach me in the Ravelry group or here! Next, we explored many finished spins from the past couple of weeks which are finished because I haven’t been podcasting! This is what happens when there’s a bit of a break! haha Lastly, I share a new, non-handspun project that is part of our ongoing Stashdown CAL (craft-along) on Ravelry. I hope you enjoy the show!

Thank you for tuning in this week! Thank you to new and returning viewers of the show, and a huge thank you to those who support the show through Patreon – you guys are the ones who keep it on the air month to month! This week, I am constantly interrupted by the kids – thank you for your patience. I answer a question that has been asked several times over the past few months about storing raw fleece and whether to process it all in one go or not. I chat about a couple of spins I have on the wheel – including one that is a pay-it-forward for a wheel I received in Victoria at ANWG. I share some major progress on my POP! Blanket that I set out and organized while we were camping this past week. Lastly, I share some project planning that I have been dreaming about. The show ends with a new segment around health and well-being that I wanted to share with you about my journey towards fitness. Enjoy the show!

Thank you for tuning in this week! We are experiencing terrible air quality due to the wild fires in the Interior of BC – I hope those experiencing the fires first hand are getting the support and help that they need. Thank you to those who support the show through Patreon – you are the ones who keep the show on the air month after month! Welcome to new and returning viewers, as well! This week, I answer a question from the Ask Anything thread in the Ravelry group. I hope my answer is helpful. Next, I share a lot of finished yarn and my progress on my POP blanket by TinCanKnits. I hope you enjoy the show!
