Find me on Ravelry and Instagram as mmontzka!

Thank you for everyone who has been in touch regarding test-knitting. I have everyone written down with preferences for knitting and will be in contact when I have something ready for testing!

Swedish Spring Shawl is now available for download on Ravelry :)

This week in Stockholm (and acquisitions) 

• Package from mom! Two skeins of Brooklyn Tweed Loft in the Plume color way. 
• Lovely package from a viewer with Jamieson's shetland spindrift yarn and wool to try :)

 

• New (used) camera!! I got a Canon 450d (called Canon Rebel XSi in USA). 
• Craftsy class-- Basics of Digital Photography with Rick Allred. Click on the link in the sidebar to check out more classes. Loved this class and would recommend it to anyone with a digital slr camera who is interested in taking more control of how their photos come out.
• I am a craftsy affiliate. If you register or sign up for a class, I will receive a small commission from them. I only advertise for them because I personally find their classes very informative and worth the cost. 
• Craftsy class-- Drafting from Worsted to Woolen with Jacey Boggs Falkner. Click on the link in the sidebar to check out the awesome classes Craftsy has to offer.

Q&A

Thank you to those of you who posted on the Episode thread or in the Youtube comments :) I love hearing from you!!

My Question to you this week is: What technique tips do you have for me?

Annali from Washington asks: Do you have a knitting or fiber related skill or technique you’d like to learn in the future or do you have a skill now you’re interested in improving?

Have a question? Ask! I'm happy to answer questions in the show.

See you next week!
