Projects: Current, Finished, Fantasy and Wearing
Sherri
- Spinning yarn to make Spirally by Anne and Heidi Pickles. She's playing yarn chicken already before she even starts knitting.
- Participating in the Geminate Podcast Wrap Up, Wind Up, WIP 2021 Ravelry thread.
- Frogged the Summer Solstice by Heidi Kirrmaier.
- Used the frogged yarn to make hats
- And used the frogged yarns to knit Earthshine by Hilary Smith Callis.
Tamara
- Finished the Frida hybrid top-down sport weight tee and started the test knit for it!! Named Frida because the flower bud cable panels evoke the flowers that the artist Frida Khalo always had around her in paintings and photographs. She really loves this one and has even taken some pics in the tee channeling her inner Frida.
- Released the Aria Hat.
- The Agave Cowl sample is done and she's working on pattern writing and edits for this one!
- The next, next cowl inspired by a Van Gogh painting is getting close to finished also.
- And she's on day 92 (out of her self-imposed goal of 100) and starting to decide how and where to start working towards getting certified to teach.

That's Entertainment (what we're watching, reading, eating and playing while we knit)
Sherri- She bought 7 different flavors of Maesri brand curry pasts at her local Pan-Asia Market. She's excited to try them all out! Here's a link to the Prik Khing curry paste that she plans to try first at a non-local store.
- Played the new Terraforming Mars: Prelude expansion. Knitability: pretty low when playing with her family because they blow through turns so quickly.
Tamara
- Watching Wanda Vision on Disney+.
- Watched Lupin on Netflix. A modern retelling of the classic French book about a gentleman thief. There's a handsome professional thief and a good backstory. In French with subtitles.
- Reading Playing Big by Tara Mohr.
- Reading Qigong and the Tai Chi Axis by Mimi Kuo-Deemer.
- Finally to the end of low FODMAP cooking in the house and is excited to add beans back! Especially this recipe - The Best Black Bean Burgers I've Ever Had.
