It’s almost like being there… SeaSocks 08 - My flickr photos, and other people’s flickr photos. Was there anyone on the boat who didn’t have one of these? Breaking with tradition, an actual image of Today’s Sweater may be found at Weave’zine.com. Knit your own Today’s Sweater in Bambu yarn, from Cotton Clouds. I used two sources of on Once you’re done, you might want to secure those ends with a wee drop of Fray Check. The theme for Series Seven is Roots, where I’ll be exploring how personal heritage informs the work of our hands. If you have a story about your knitting roots, please check the submission guidelines, and do get in touch. There are two NEW ways to participate in the podcast! 1) Call the Cast On Voicemail Line (coming soon!) and tell me about your Best Thing Ever. 2) Leave a comment or drop me an email and share the bits from past episodes that you’d like to hear again in The Best of Cast On: Listener’s Choice. PS: In case you’re wondering, “Just what does a private jet cost to rent?” The answer is here, and it’s not pretty. Upon reflection, I believe it’s time to let go of this particular fantasy.

Say howdy to NEW! Cast On Sponsor, Simply Socks Yarn Company! Go there. Then come back. It’s a jam-packed Death March of Fun this week, with special thanks to contributing writer, Becky Miller (also a frequent Librivox contributor) and my guest, Marti Moreno, of Taos Sunflower Yarns and Fibers. Keep an eye on Syne Mitchell’s Weavezine, where you’ll find free knitting patterns as part of Syne’s mission to make the world weave. (Careful, she recruits.) Next month’s Today’s Sweater will appear in the summer issue. Koigu projects rock! Why has it taken me so long to break this yarn out of my stash? You can knit Latifa, or fingerless mitts, OR you can knit the Flared Lace Smoke Ring, by Jackie Erickson-Schweitzer. This fabulous pattern is available at Heart Strings Fiber Arts. Do take some time to check out a couple of new podcasts - The Knitmore Girls Podcast, the first ever (I think) mother/daughter knitting podcast, hosted by Jasmin and Gigi; and The Fairy Knitting Podcast, hosted by Erin. Spinning knitters will find the WPI Calculator invaluable. (Thanks to Rebekkah for sending this in.) If you spin to knit, or for the sake of spinning alone, do write and tell me what you love about it. And if you’re still resolutely NOT spinning, we’ll make a spinner of you yet. Oh yes. Yes, we will. Check out the article by Ann Hood about stalking George Clooney (my boyfriend) at Harry’s Bar. My hotel window in Cernobbio was practically on top of Harry’s bar! I was close. So close.
Don’t forget, The Best of Interweave Knits Readers Choice Collection is available as an e-book at KnittingDaily.com. Get it now, or lose it forever on May 14, 2008 at 5 p.m. MT.
