Thank you so much for joining us! Welcome back after a one week hiatus at the start of the new year.

In The Workroom:

Lindsey finally finished the cable hat only to find out the fit was not to her liking! She added a rainbow pompom and gifted it to Miss O for the holidays.

She also started a scarf for her hubby with the third Yarns of Rhichard Devrieze that she had handy, this one is a dark/royal blue variegated worsted weight in superwash merino! Find out how her dorkyness ruined the surprise for her hubby.

Lindsey also finally decided that her aunt would be the recipient for the feather and fan scarf. It was the perfect choice!

Kate decided at the last minute to not worry at all about finishing any knitting, and just sort of rolled with what she had for the holidays. Between Christmas and New Years she did finish up a bunch of items including:

Hill & Dale Cowl – Made with her own handspun, and gifted to Mom.

Breakwater Socks – Diamond Luxury – Soxy Lady in Electric Avenue

Sweater for Baby Niece – Puerperium – Mineville Wool Project & a fingering weight gradient set held double

Pomander Cardigan for Cousin's Baby – Fleece Artist Cottage Sock in Moss

1898 Hat for my tenant out of Sugarbush Yarns – Bold in Navy Blue

Alterations:

Lindsey got a wonderful surprise from her husband, they got nearly two weeks off together to celebrate the holiday. She decided to put some projects on hold and enjoy the time off with her family.

Kate shares a sad story about a lost family shawl, find out how she's going to try and make the best of it.
