Good morning! So Bella the Cat wakes us on the weekends early. Since I'm up before 6 on weekdays, she needs us up by 6 on the weekends too. Yawn.....
I have no finished objects this week, but I do have another video up. This one is a bit longer at 31 minutes. I do touch on some of the controversy in the yarn world.
And oh my goodness, am I excited! I saw a trailer for a new movie when I hopped on youtube this morning...
Okay back to projects. I've been working on shawls this week....I need to take some pictures, I'll be right back...they may be crappy...
My Van Gogh, such a fun pattern and quick! It's a 12 row repeat....and really quick...
So that is pretty much all I've worked on. I've put some rows on some socks, but nothing to really talk about....
Hopefully you can check out my video....It took 5 HOURS to upload! For 31 minutes!

I have never read "the Secret Garden" but I did see the original movie and loved it. I did not know they were doing a remake of it. I look forward to seeing this one as well.
The Van Gogh shawl is pretty and with the drop stitch I can see where it makes for a quick knit. The Breeze colors are working quite well together. Garter stitch shawls are such a relaxing knit.
WOw. Thank you for telling us it took you 5 hours to record that! I enjoy seeing it , but I don't want to do one myself because I'm not that capable without my 30 years old kids to help me maneuver the cyberostiy !!!
Love your shawl and pattern notes. They really do help me
I saw the preview of the Secret Garden also and I was so excited! It looks really good! I just subscribed to Acron t.v. as I love the UK shows. I love your green yarns! So pretty! I may have to look closer at that first shawl as you said it goes fast and it's easy? It sounds like my kind of project!
Your shawls are looking lovely. I enjoyed looking at your purchases on the podcast!
I watched your video and I am totally in the dark about all the controversy because I am off instagram and facebook for lent. However, now I will check out what's up on Ravelry. You have piqued my interest for sure.

I will catch your latest episode later this week. 😀
"The Secret Garden" is one of my favourite stories. I've read it several times over the years and even saw it on Brodway back in April 1992. Anyway, I still believe in it's message. "BAck to the roots". Have a nice weekend! Regula
Thanks for the heads up about the new movie! Your shawls are coming along nicely, and look lovely.
