She Can Make – Show Notes Episode 21 This week’s episode is brought to you by Plum Deluxe! Today’s segments include: • In the Workroom • Alterations • A Review or Two • Crafting with Kids • And from the Mailbag Grab a cup of tea, make yourself comfortable and let’s start making. In The Workroom: Kate has finished her breakwater socks, just in time for Christmas! She is continuing work on her dark and stormy sweater. She is also trying to find the perfect hat pattern for the yarn she discussed in last week’s alterations. Lindsey finally finished her mittens, and even tried them out in the snow on the weekend. They were great for making snow angels at the farm with Hubby and Miss O! She’s kinda still working on the teal hat, it will get done eventually, but maybe not while it’s still cold. Lindsey wants to make a sleeve for her new travel tea cup, it keeps the tea hot for hours, but due to the double layers the outside gets super cold. She’s hoping to use some stash yarn for this. Alterations: Kate thinks she’s going to have to employ a Knitmore technique and bribe herself to finish all the many sleeves in her life, perhaps with a healthy helping of cake. Although Lindsey is super happy with her mittens there are some changes she would make for another pair. She finds the thumb gusset too big for her, instead of increasing every two rounds she thinks she will try every three, or alternate. And now a word from our sponsor: Love trying new teas?
