Gigi has started on the sleeves of her Odelia cardigan. She is working on the braid of the Kleio by Romi Hill, which is reminiscent of the technique that the Philosopher's Wool people taught us.
Also working on the Sothia shawl, which has slowed down. Her swatch for her Rocky Coast Cardigan has benefited from a soak and dry and tumble in the dryer. Also swatched for: The Shawl Collared Cowl, and a shawl out of Lana Grossa Luxe.
Jasmin has been working on the Garter Stitch Baby Kimono. She is working on socks in Little Red Bicycle's Walk of Shame.
We went to the Interweave Knitting Lab in San Mateo, and talked to Annelena who sent a cardigan for Sharkbean, Galina and George from Skaska.com, Carrie from Alpenglow Yarn, and Carrie from Irishgirlie Knits, and the amazing Lily Chin. Jasmin fell in love with the Jaimie Cross Cable Shawl out of quiviut.

Jasmin got a new pillow to sit on while she spins.
