Episode 87: Do the Math
This episode includes the following segments: On the Porch, Yarn Lover at Large, Ever-expanding Skill Set, Off the Shelf, And Sew Forth. This week has been a busy one, with two new projects under way, a lot of sewing, canning with Mom, and getting out my rusty arithmetic for a Math for Hats class with Kate Oates at Mountain Knits and Pearls. Meanwhile, I’m carefully tending five indigo plants in anticipation of my September Sheep to Shawl class. I’ll talk a bit about the adventurous Blue and Indigo chapters of Color by Victoria Finlay.
