Seabrook, Washington Thank you to Jean Chambers at  String Theory Yarn and Fiber for helping us put on this fun event! Marsha's Projects Working on socks with  Schahenmayr Regia Design Line by Arne & Carlos. I'm going to use Knitted Wit Smarties for the toes and heels. I recently ripped out the Neskowin Shell by Kay Hopkins. I changed her pattern and it didn't work. Too heavy and too short. The yarn is Debbie Bliss Juliet and I am knitting the Lounging Top by Joji Locatelli. Finished the yoke and about to join for the body. Almost finished with 1898 Hat by Kristine Byrnes with worsted weight  Hazel Knits Cadence in the colorway Woodland. The pattern is on the Seamen's Church Institute: Christmas at Sea. This seemed to be the perfect pattern for an adventurer and yarn is from Seattle. Kelly's updates I started crocheting the yoke for Mariannes cardigan by Trine Bertelsen. The pattern has a crochet yoke, button band, and sleeve edging. I will modify it to be a pullover. I'll be using Blue Heron Egyptian Mercerized Cotton spirit yarn from Tracy (littletownknitter). The yoke is my crochet swatch.  If the yoke isn't the right size I'll rip out and choose a different size. (K)not Along There were so many creative fiber related projects that were not kniting, not crochet, not weaving and not spinning.  From needle felting to nalbinding, from chair upholstery to sewing, the Fiber Adventurers didn't disappoint! We talk about the projects and pull prizes for three lucky winners. Take a look at all the projects on the (K)not Along Finished Object thread on Ravelry.  Adventurer Feedback The Fiber Adventurers also didn't disappoint with their feedback about sweater closures. There are some great photos and explanations about grosgrain ribbon and button bands and buttonhole bands in the Episode 119 thread on Ravelry.
