Hello all of you lovely humans!  I had every intention of recording this week, but, we are in full spring break swing and I find that I just don’t have the mental capacity to get an episode together.  I should be back next week, and hope you all have a lovely time in betwixt! 

Much love,

AB

Ooooh, and also remember that next week’s episode will mark the end of our Gratitude KAL.  I will close the thread the morning of April 1st and plan to announce many awesome prizes the next time I record.

I’m lazy, so I’m skipping show notes this week.  If you have any questions, feel free to chime in on the Ravelry board.

The episode has not yet been uploaded to ITunes, but I’m hoping to get over to the library this afternoon if the weather isn’t too bad.

Hope you all have a lovely week!

Hello all!  I have been working on getting samples made up for the Knitting Pipeline Retreat and I’m about to add them to the website for preview.  The preorder will go up Sunday 2/23 before 10am and will close Sunday 3/2 at midnight, or when preorder slots are filled.  I don’t think we’ll run out, but please limit your preorder to one per Pipeliner.  I have every intention of offering additional “commemorative” bags (in addition to other non-tagged ones) at the retreat’s vending fair.

PLEASE NOTE:  THESE BAGS ARE ONLY AVAILABLE FOR PICKUP AT THE KNITTING PIPELINE RETREAT. If you’re not going to the retreat, I plan on offering this bag (sans the tag) for an April update.
