Episode 80: Self Kindness

BTF Episode 80: Self-Kindness

In which I give myself a talking-to about being kind to myself, talk about the teaching I’m doing and what I’d like to do in the next few weeks, wax poetic about yak for Level 5, finish a cowl but will probably tear it back, and make some actual progress on the Accolade. Thanks for listening!

Fibre Notes

Shukriya by Susanne Talluri – the cowl I finished (and will probably tear back) out of a seven-step miniskein gradient (below). A Hundred Ravens Yarn, who dyed the miniskein set. This is Mermaid’s Tail, the colourway I have. Intermingle by Rich Ensor – trying this out for cabled socks from some of my Danish sock yarn! Smooth Sailing by Tanis Lavallee – queen-sized blanket where I am using Berroco Vintage. Alberta Shawl by Anne-Lise Maigaard. Counting Sheep Scarf by Lisa Hannan Fox – one of the double-knit scarves I’m considering. Clockwork Dragon Scarf by Tania Richter – the other double-knit scarf I’m thinking about.

By The Wayside

The Accolade kit from Bucilla – so old it’s out of print. Based on the painting The Accolade by E.B. Leighton.

Accolade: Progress as of 3 April 2020
