I should have show notes up later this evening.  Hope you all have a great day!

The shop preview is available for preview and will be made active at 9pm eastern tonight.

Please note that the Spring Leaf colorway gave me fits during its photo shoot.  The color is most accurately captured In the photos of the Walnut (DK) base.

Thank YOU!

Thank you to Rachel Coopey for not only creating her beautiful new book Coop Knits Socks but also sending me a copy!  I can’t wait to cast on some beautiful socks this summer!

Special Midwestern-Country-Woman-Arm hugs go out to all of the wonderful and sparkly attendees of the Knitting Pipeline Retreat.  You made my first knitting retreat a wonderful and memorable experience (although you might not be able to tell the memorable part from my crazy self-centered retelling of events).

I’m admitting to show note failure this week….So much to do!

Feel free to pm me or leave a comment in the Ravelry group if you need anything.

This week’s episode was recorded before news of the Boston Marathon Tragedy.  My love goes out to all of you this morning.

I’m skipping show notes this morning to give my little one extra hugs and make more time for meditative hope for all.

Much much love,

AB

The Craftsy class Knit To Flatter (you can use the link through The Knitting Pipeline!)

The shop preview is up and products will be available for sale at 9 eastern tonight…..Use coupon code SQUIRRELFRIEND for 10% off yarn when you buy two or more items!

Thanks so much for your support!

This episode’s title makes me sooooooooooo happy!  As I was trying to find a slightly less offensive option than the original “I’m the Pope of Yarn, Yo” eighth grade world history’s Cardinal Wolsey flashed to mind and upon further research, the alternative spelling of Woolsey popped up and there you have it!
