Today I'll be listening to:
Knit Knit Cafe with Abby and Ben - a Mother and Son knitting podcast that is an awesome fun listen
CraftCast - with Alison Lee, always very interesting
Stuff Mom Never Told You - all around informative and entertaining
Stuff You Should Know with Josh and Chuck - always a good listen
More Hip than Hippie with Dori and Val - an eco-funny podcast
Sound Opinions - music information and reviews
WTF with Marc Maron - definitely not for everyone, you'll either love this guy or you just won't, listen at your own discretion
AND I'll be watching Round the Twist with Carin - very fun and very interesting, about knitting and spinning
Everything mentioned above can be found on iTunes
Other big news is my self-imposed goal of going "Cold Sheep" a.k.a. "not buying any yarn" until January 2012 - so yes, I will be knitting and crocheting from my stash. I really want to see how much of my stash can be used up over the next 13 months - Wish me luck!
I also have made a rough but sound draft of my plans for 2011 involve knitting up my stash:
- More than half of my stash is sock yarn, so I will definitely be knitting lots of socks for others and myself.
- During the colder months into spring, I'd like to finish up my sweater and maybe knit another as well as a shawl or two
- During summer, to get an early start I'm planning to knit xmas gifts like hats, scarves and mitts
- During early fall through Nov; start another sweater and a couple more shawls and random smaller projects
- Through Dec and the end of the year, I just want to do some simple no-stress knitting and make plans for 2012
- Instead of buying books or more patterns, I'll go to my own library and patterns collection to pick a random book/pattern and knit/crochet a project
